THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

The 'Jewess repeated last light at the Academy
Of Music by the Wachte opera company The only
change from the previous representation was
the appearance OF Nile Pappcnheim instead
Of Mile Wagner Rccha, a change that seemed
eminently appropriate. The audience was larger
than the first night and the trflng defects then
apparent had been removed there were constant ex-
pressions OF delight and unqualified satisfaction Herr
Wachtel before, assumed the role of Lazarus and
was constantly greeted with applause, especially
In the last scene Of the fourth act after
which he called before the curtain three
times. Nile. Pappcnheim as Recha, did not APP
pear TO advantage III tho first act her voice
being percepibly trcmuous and uncertain but she
recovered rapidly and in the third her representa-
tion free. natural and earnest her rendering Of
the complicated recatves exact that she suddenly
became a faVorite, to use n common phrase and was
recalled again and again after the curtain had fallen
There was also an Improvement In the chorus which
tended TO Increase the general success OF the opera
last night.

KELLY INITIATES SWEENY.

10 EDITOR HERALD:-
Mr. Kelly Is evidently initiating the tactics Of his old
hiend, Peter b. Swecny. Whenever in old Ring days
The people were nsued with bad nominations grand
mass meeting was ordered and leading statesmen we're
invited to speak. Perhaps Governor Seymour may re-
member how often he was pressed to attend. In this
way thousands OF well meaning democrats who other
wise would have repudlatcd their nominations were
tuped and voted To continue the Tammany sachem
power Such tactics did more TO keep up the old Ring
power than any other means they devised.
In june 1858, Governor Seymour wanted TO deliver
address in this city. Colonel j. d. Van Buren,, at
whose house the Governor stopping to
md asked me TO organize meeting simply hired the
ball Of the Cooper Institute and had few posters put
1p and at forty eight hours notice he had meeting OF
over 10, 600 persons The whole Amir did
tl5O. Therefore, whenever any OF our leading states
nen wish 70 address the people, there necessity
lhein to Interfere in local contest and allow them
selves TO be used like prize cattle at a show.
The people Of tho city OF Utica have interest
ln the municipal struggle In which engaged, !,
nor can interference be excuse the ground that
the state ticket s to be sustained for every democrat
who to-day opposes Tammany Hall desposm voted
Tor samuel Tilden at the last election with very
lew exceptions, will vote for present State ticket

was reserved for the speech OF Mr.. j. J. O'Donohue,
who, when he forward was received with the
only warm applause that given throughout the
evening.
Mr. O'Donohue made a most remarkable speech. He
confined himself almost exclusively TO the question OF
the reduction Of aborers wages. On this pont
he denounced in unmeasured terms such re-
auction, which he declared to have been made
against his wishes protest and against the earnest
wishes Of John Kelly. He gave me history

render u necessary TO defend her from the charge of
approving OF the reduction OF the city aborers wages
The remarks of Mr. OiDonohuo in relation to the
