Across the street from the Academy of

annual ball Of the Benevolent Protective Order Of Eiks
The object Of the ball charitable, and the festivities
were only second br,laucy. and not in enjoyment,
to those in progress few steps away on the floor OF the
Academy Of Music. The Association whose banners
were hung out from Irving Hall last evening Is com
posed entirely OF actors. and their efforts directed
caring for the widows and children OF deceased
members of the profession which they represent.
Early the evening Ac carriages containing the per-
who participate in the festival began to
arrive confusion caused by the crush OF
vehicles which balls in such close proximity caused
At midnight The floor Of Irving Hall filed to the
utmost by the throng. Considerable Inconvenience was
caused IN the hall by tho efforts 10 make every conner

is mootcd question, however, among
LAWYERS whether such suits can be brought
at all, for conceding that the impeached
officials are found guilty, it is difficult to
determine whether the State can avail
herself Of the mslteasances Of her
officers who have taken brides,
and transfer the brides from their
pockets to her Treasury Whether the
sums received by these officers could be
recovered by the banks even, is question
able; but with that the Attorney General
plainly has nothinsto do, since it does
not concern the State.
Bat regarding all these matters, we can
assure the public that there need be no
apprchensious that they will not be
! legally Investigated, and all proceedings
found necessary to protect the interests
of the State instituted at the prop
or time; and Hea if any cause Of action,
whether civil or criminal, is found to
exist it will be vigorously prosecuted
| These cries against the Attorney General
are only raised by those who desire TO
have the gentlemen accused declared
guilty before trial and prosecuted III
stead of prosecuted.

A Gun THAT DID NOT FIRE.

Mr. CAMPBELL Of Hancock expected
either to trap the Democratic members
of the House into another stultiiying
position by adopting his resolution OF
yesterday, or of making party capital
out Of their rejecting it. But he failed
most signally IN his designs. The House
very promptly rejected it because that
body had already invested the il vestigat-
ing committee with all and even more
authority than was contemplated by Mr..
CAMPrELL's resolution. And then his
party capital stroke fell harmless when
Mr.. PKcuARD, who had all along been Il
member of the committee, arose from
his seat and informed the House that
while the gentleman fom Hancock was
not member of it, he had voluntari-
~ thrust himself before the committee
and urged that they had no right To in
ycstigatcthc $4,000 deficit, and had been
largely instrumental in influencing that
Committee TO give ii the whitcwashing
that it had received, THIS knocked the
wind out OF the sails of the 'young states
man from Hancock.
The Committee having been reorganiz-
ed We are happy to inform the Rcpub i
cans that there will be no failure in
making the investigation and having a
report before the House in due time.
The whole matter is going TO
De- siftcl and it may turn out
as intimatcd by Mr.. SNYDER, that there
is y deficit of $4,000 instead Of $4,000
Tor the year 1863, and the investigation
will not stop with merely ascertnning
what the amount is, bat they will find
out who got il. 1t is true that the Re-
puhiictns were more expert than the
savagos ofthe forest in covering their
tracks, but when the effort Is made in
earnest, it will succeed. An opportunity
will now be given to test the sincerity OF
certain parties in their proicsscd desire
to root out corruption. And just here
We would suggest to the Committee, that
it would be particularly interesting to
know exactly how much WAS spent in the
manufacture and support of those de-
lichtlul little guillotine machines, COM
monty known as Boards of Registration.

INSINE ATOMS AGAINST TIE
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

1t ha, been very freely intimatcd by
the impeachment orators that the Attor-
ucy General should not have given his
opinion upon the twoqueslions submitted
t. him by the Auditor, pending the inn
parchment proceedings. These questions
were: First, What fees should be
charged insurance companies Of other
States. doing business ia this State under
what i, known IT. the rrtaiatury pro-
vision Of our insurance laws; and, Second,
What disposition should be made orthcse
fees
In hi, communication to the Attorney
General asking these questions, the Au-
ditor stated, We learn, that a number of
such companies had applied for licenses,
and that ne could not act upon their APP
plicatious without legal advice, since Il
difference OF opinion had arisen Ms to his
dutics, and the construction he had
placed upon the law, and which he deemed
correct.
The law positively provides that the
Attorney General siaH give his opinion
and advice in writing whenever required
10 DO So by the Governor, or ether State
officer at the Seat of Government, or by
the Board Of Public Works. Therefore
there could be no mistake rs to his duty
m the premises. He had nothing what
ever To- do with tho impeachment pro-
cccLng>. Had he refused to comply
with the request of the Auditor upon the
ground that an investigation of his Of
lciaJ conduct was progressing, he would
not only have shown an unjust bin,
against an officer accused of serious OF
fences. hut he would have been untrue IL
his official duties and oath. and
would have committed an offence
which no doubt would hayo been
much more worthy Of impeachment, than
those charged against the Auditor him
self and the Treasurer His duty was
prescribed by the statutes, and he did
nothing moro nor less than discharge
that duty, and the charges and innucn-
does against hun are simply frivolous clap
trap,
In the same connection, it Will be pro-
per also to refer to the fact that it has
been stated by these same impeachment
orators that suits in the name of the
State should, before this, have
been instituted to recover the sums al
legged to have been paid by certain banks
TO the lmpeached officials and WILLIAM
r. BvRDErT in consideration that deposits
of State funds to certain amounts should
be permitted to remain in their control,
This charge is equally as frivolous rs the
other. for it is manifest that it would be
improper TO institute such suits until the
impeachment proceedings are ended.
For should the officers be acquitted, and
declared by the High Court of Impeach-
ment rs having violated no law, OF course
no action would lie; and besides, the
evidence in the cases then would be &C
cessiDle to the law officer of the State, so
he can .intelHgently determine whether
suit should be brought at all, aud if yes,
what witnesses should be summoned. 1t
