The DRAMATIC season.

New York is now in the full tide Of its
autumn enjoyments. Mr.. Booth has signal
lied his engagement by appearing for the
first time in a new part, one of the most
intellectual conceptions of Shakespeare.
When an actor like Mr.. Booth steps out Of
the beaten path and throws aside characters
in which he has won national fame, and
which he could play for years to overlooking
houses to give a new impersonation of
Shakespeare, he shows himself not simply
mercenary stage player, seeking gain, but an
artist anxious to elevate his calling and to
make it the embodiment and por-
traiture of the creations of the greatest writer
of our race. The temperance of Mr.. Wal
lacks famous company in one of the most
brilliant plays of the generation is an event
which may be said to begin our season of
comedy. BY singular coincidence three,
at least of the artists who made high reputa-
tions in the English theatres in the princi-
pal characters of ''Caste" are now grouped
upon the leading stage of the United States.
A new phase of American life and q real
American character have been given to the
stage by Mr. Florence, whose mighty Dol
lar, after seventy performances, seems to be
only in the bud and spring of its popular
ity. The other theatres are doing a
good and increasing business. At Booths
old theatre Mr.. Fox, the pantomimist, is
amusing the children with his pranks and
grimaces. This is an attempt to introduce
into New York the holiday custom of the
pantomime which has become so much a
feature of English society. Messrs. Jarrett
& Palmer do this, however, in Thanksgiving,
theory we suppose that Thanksgiving in
New York holds the place of Christmas in
England. We regret that the effort to make
pantomime a feature of the New York drama
was not under other auspices, however. We
mean by this that we should have bad a
pantomme like those at Drury Lane-new
machinery, new scenery, and, if possible,
new actors, forming spectacle that would
have been a childhood dream for many, many
years. At the Lyceum Theatre additional
variety is given to the season by the fine
acting of the French comedy company
WHICH ID 30 Expressive budI IL 10 bbuuJ
in the art Of gesture and the universal
language of nature for even those who are
unfamiliar with the French. OF opera we
have not all that we could wish but the
Wachtel season is a magnificent popular
success, and no doubt Mr.. Neuendorf before
it closes, will produce 'Lohengrin" and
others of the grand operas in which the
famous tenor has increased his European
reputation. Altogether the fall season
augurs well for the brilliancy Of the winter.
But one event has occurred to sadden the
gayety of the metropolis So much pleasure
had been given by Mr.. George Belmore dur
ing his brief sojourn in this country SO
much was expected of his versatility and
genial humor, that the news that the accom-
plished actor is now dying in this city comes
like shock to the public. But in his last
moments he is attended by kind friends, and
England will not mourn more sincerely than
America for this unexpected ending Of an
honorable and useful life.

Boss HUGH HASTINGS, the successor OF
Thurlow Weed as the Mentor of modern re-
publicanism, is puzzled over the remarkable
speech of General Grant on the night of the
election, in which he aid:-"We have an
assurance that the republicans will control
this government for at least four years
longer" Boss Hastings thinks this means
third term for General Grant. If yes-bod

THE Won ARNIM DIFFICULTY. Won,
Arnim difficulty in Berlin seems to be
destined to draw the government into new
complications The Count, who is safe in
Switzerland, asked permission Of the Court
to remain abroad for longer period before
undergoing the imprisonment imposed upon
him on account of i'll health. Before his
application could be acted upon pamphlet
appeared in Berlin containing what are re-
garded as 1ibellous attacks on the Emperor.
Prince Bismarck and the Foreign Office, in
connection with the Won Arnim trial. 1t is
suspected that the Count is the author of the
offensive pamphlet; hence his application
has little chance of meeting with favorable
response. 1t is evident that the best thing
Count Won Arnim can do is to come to the
United States, whore he would be enthu-
siastically welcomed by his countrymen.

remedy; but till the expenditure is made
this cannot be healthy city Two-thirds
OF the sewers in this city have got to be COM
pletely reconstructed; rebuilt from top to
bottom on one uniform plan and with re-
gard to a uniform level. This will be an
enormous labor. and the worst OF all is that
with our corrupt system il will be made a
stupendous job-a great pretext for turning
the current of the public treasury into the
pockets Of rogues But it will have to be
done, even with that certainty in view. An
Their need is TO have effective drains laid on an
extensive scale in every old watercourse that
originally ran across the upper part Of the
island With these works once effectively
done the rest would depend upon the health
authorities.
Our only need then would be a Board Of
Health with vigor enough TO enforce against
many abuses any good code of sanitary regu-
lations. Such body would secure that the
water was pure and not drained at certain
seasons from the bottom Of stagnant marshes;
but it would need to have president who
could cast chemistry aside sometimes and
use his nose 1t would also guard the pub
lie against all the other equally preventible
causes of disease. But we point out the
needs of the case rather from a conviction of
our obligations in that respect than from any
immediate hope of good results.

reports shall be deemed perjury and subject
to the punishments prescribed by law for
such offences" What Court would venture
to say that Mr. Carman, the officer Of the
bank who swore to the last January state
ment, is fit person to act as receiver of the
bank and to protect the interests Of the de-
positors?
There are other matters that need investi.
cation besides this false representation Of the
banks condition. Between January and
March 500, 900 of Kansas State bonds, which
are worth par, were sold out by the officers
of the bank, and $55, 900 of Tennessee State,
bonds, which are worth fifty cents on the
dollar, were substituted among the securities
of the bank The share of responsibility in
Cured by the Bank superintendent
should be ascertained. In March last an
examination of the bank was made
by two examiners Messrs Reid and
Aldrich, who reported to the Bank
Superintendent an actual deficiency OF
S219, 226, irrespective of the decreased value
Of the real estate, and deficiency of income
OF $44, 79l. With this knowledge in his pos
session, affording positive proof of the fraud
ulent character of the January statement, the
Bank Superintendent suffered the rotten
bank to continue to draw in and cheat new
depositors for six months longer, and then
failed to object to the appointment of Mr.
Carman, who had sworn to the false state
ment, as receiver of the bank. With these
facts in their possession, surely, some indi-
vidual depositor should have the sense to
institute proceedings against the unfaithful
bank officers, and to seek from the courts the
immediate removal of the present receiver.

We are reliably Informed that on
Thursday morning last, al or about 3
o'clock, four disguised men effected an
entrance into the room of +. NJ. Russell,
Esq, at Scotch Hill, near NewbIrg, Pres
ton county, and robbed him OF about
81, 600 in money and of valuables to the
amount of Sl,S0O Mr.. Russell was
awakened by the noise, and the first thing
he discovered was a man standing over
him, in the act Of striking him with u
club. Throwing up his arm,
Mr.. r. warded oil the blow, and begged
the ruttian not to kin him that he would
permit them to take what they wanted.
The burglars then bound and gagged him
securely, placed him on his face, and
tied spread over him, and while one
man stood guard. with revolver in hand,
the others proceeded to perpetrate the
robbery. Mr. Russell is the paymaster,
Mt Newburg, of the Orrel Coal Company,
and uS il WAS near payday, the proba-
blitieS of finding considerable amount
Of money in his possession, induced the
attempt to rob BIN: we regret to say that
the attempt was most successful.
The rufIians LETT Mr. Russell in the
helpless condition in which they had
placed him, leaving the store ,over which
Mr.. Il. has his room by the front door,
carving the key with them. A Mr..

o'clock. was attracted by Il subducd noise

and obtaining Il saw, they cut oil one end
