JOHN HAMPDEN.
Presented BY Rev. E. 3. Chaplin.

The lecture of Rev. E. II Chapin at Tallmadge
hall last night on "John Hampden, or the Pro-
gress of Popular Liberty was attended by
numerous and highly-intelligent audience. The
lecturer gave resume OF the events of the reigns
of Elizabeth and James, illustrating the en-
eroachments Of the crown, tine growing Sentiment
of liberty and the final collision with Charles,
and traced the early career Of Hampden till his
election to Parliament; then in clear and fOrci-
BILE manner portrayed the quick succession Of
those acts Of royal usurpatiOn eliminating in the
imposition of ship money! Hampden's noble re-
sistance his defeat at law, and the increased re-
sistance by the people, At this point the lecturer
drew attention TO that principle, then so stoutly
asserted which formed the cause of our own RevO-
luton, and which has ever since been one of the
foundation stones of popular liberty, viz no taxa
tiOn except with the consent of the people through
their representatives. All through this struggle
with Charles we lind the parallels of our own
experience in 1879, and the identity of many OF
the issues, the striking similarity between the
characters of the actors in both contests, and the
grand results render the contemplation of those
times appropriate and instructive in this Centen-
nial year. To the names of Hampden and Wash
ingtGn we look with reverence and gratitude. To
them the world owes debt that can only be can
celed by faithful imitation of their virtues, and
increasing vigilance in the maintenance of the
popular liberty for which they fought The lee
turer was listened to throughout his eloquent dis
course with profound attention, and the most
patriotic passages of the lecture were greeted
with hearty applause.

Hon. John A. Lyman.

The following is an extract from the Nev North
State, Of North Carolina:
This gentleman, owing to the infamous gerry
Wandering of the State by the General Assembly
of ls7o, is the sole representative Of the Repub-
lican party Of North Carolina in the Congress Of
the United States. While the Republicans of this
State, however, are thus robbed Of their just
representation in Congress, the maintenance Of
their principles could not have fallen into safer
hands than those of the Representative Of the
Second district. The writer sat with him in the
convention of lses that framed the constitution
under which the State was readmitted TO the
Union, and also in the General Assembly Of
1s6s-'70, to which he was returned by grateful
constituency to the Senate. As one who felt o
deep interest in his race his course was observed
with much interest, as man and as the public
representative Of the people, by the writer. That
he realized the expectation OF his constituency In
both these responsible positions, is shown by his
election to the present Congress.
A great fraud and crime by the North Carolina
Democracy has deprived the people Of the State
of other such representatives fn Congress. viii
not the honest people-those who love the Union
and justice-put forth their might and redeem the
old State from Its misrepresentation and wrongs
from the control Of traitors and oppressors-and
fill the representation In the next Congress with
men as true, pure and honest-with as decided
Republicans as Hon. John A. Hyman.

The Italian Opera Season.

Maurice Strakosch, interviewed by Herald
reporter regarding this sudden interruption Of the
italian opera season. says the reason is extremely
simple-''the tenors who were engaged to sing
during the season Of opera with Mile de Belocca
were both taken seriously Ill at the same time.
You understand me, Of course, to speak Of Messrs
Brignon and Tom Karl 1t was, therefore, ut
terly impossible to continue the season." 'tHow
are these gentlemen at the present time ?" asked
the reporter. II am happy to say that Sfgnor
Brignon has almost entirely recovered. He was
exceedingly Ill. He was attacked by pneumonia
of the most aggravated form, and both DR.. Car
nOchan and DR.. Mott whom called into consulta-
tion about him told me that he was within an inch
Of going the way of all flesh. Happily he has re-
covered. Tom Karl's disease is Inflammation of
the liver. He too, is much better. of course, for
