AMUSEMEAIS.

| THE VARIETIES THEATER--The 1.-Two Or
phans still hold the boards at this house,
and is drawing very fair audiences; it is
much more smoothly acted than at first, and
though the same faults may be found with
most of the actors as were at first mentioned,
they are not so noticeable; and the conse-
quence is, more pleasure is given to the audi
ence. The run Of the play is nearly COM
pleted, and as it is q treat we'll worth enjoy
ing we trust our theater- going public will
avail themselves of the remaining perform
| ance.
ST.. CHARLES THEATER Mics Kate Fisher
was welcomed by larger audience last even
ing than she has had for several nights past,
and met with several rounds of applause in
her best scenes. The company have become
much more familiar with the text and bust
ness Of the play, and some Of them, especial
ly Misses Pierson and Maddern are deserv-
ing Of special mention.
This evening the play will be presented for
probably the last time, giving way to new
drama to be presented for Miss Fishers benefit
on Friday night
THE ACADEMY OF Mus1c.-Mr. Frances re-
petition OF i" Marked for Life brought out
good house last evening. The startling effects
of the railroad scene and the jail were uproar-
iously applauded, and the play won the en-
comiums of every spectator present.
Tonight will be given dead to the
World, drama said TO be one of the most
exciting on our boards.
GLOBE THEArER place of amusement
is nightly crowded with eager spectators,
brought together to visit the variety perform
ance. One Of the specimens in the variety
business Is Mr.. John La Favre Manning.
Mr.. Manning is an actor of talent and expert
ence, and far above the average regular class
who perform at this theater nightly. Last
night he did excelently well, and was really
deserving of mention. Tonight grand bill
will be presented, and Mr.. Manning will ap-
pear in few more OF his comical specialties.
EGYPT1AN HALL.-Prof Benford and Nine.
Blanche still continue giving their evening
entertainments at this place to rather small
audiences Portions of the programme pre-
scented are very entertaining, and serve to
smuse the audience greatly during their stay.
AURORA BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION Last
evening Grunewald Hall was crowded with
one of the most select assemblies of the sea-
son, those assembled being The guests who
had gathered at the summons of this old and
honored association. The annual reception
and mask ball was worthy of the high reputa-
ton for social festivities earned by many pre-
ceding ENJOYABLE entertainments OF the Au-
roras, and those who were so fortuI ate as to
hold invitations passed al evening not soon
to be forgotten.
Experience is a good teacher ard The affair,
in the hands Of those who have guided to
brilliant success many such social reunions,
was successful IN every respect.
JOS. j Hooper, Eug. Phillips, R. W. Aw
cock, Geo. Albert and j. NJ Shannon, the
executive committee, deserve much credit,
and to them and their courteous associates
We return our thanks for many kind atten-
tons.

THE SITUATION.

The Presidents Message and news from
al Quarters are fully given on the first and
fourth pages Of this paper up TO Tuesday
afternoon. On Wednesday the Electors Of
the several States assembled at the capitols
thereof and voted for President and Vice
President in accordance with the vote Of
said States, except South Carolina, Florida
and LouisianA, whose electors for both par
ties assembled, cast their votes and elected
their Messengers to carry the returns to
Washington, relying on Congress or the
Supreme Court TO decide which should DO
recognised. Oregon and Vermont each
also send one Democrrtic Elector for future
discussion and settlement. The probabil
hy is, that fnal decision may not be
reached before the fiith Of March next.
THROWS OFF THE MASK.
WADE HABMProS, rs long ~ he thought
the ballot boxes were fixed all right for
his election, talked very conservative, but
in speech on Wednesday evening he is

Two months since, would submit my
claims before the people of South CArolins,

nal God, | would have my place; since

ored men chosen to be Governor Of the
State Of Souih Carolina, and Governor |
will be. The ballot box has announced

tsry government"
While there are less than 900 United
States Soldiers at Columbia, there are TO-,
600 members OF rife clubs there from the
surrounding country, all fully armed and
provided with blankets and haversacks.
These have no doubt been gathered at
aone preconcerted arrangement OF their
leaders, an Awhat may result from it is yet
to be developed.
From the situation in Congress and the
South, it looks very much like the COM
mencemcnt Of an adjourned session of af-
fairs in 1860. Let us hope that the wiscst
and lest councils may prevail in the end,
and that justice may be thoroughly sitted
from fraud.

Rsdield tslegraphs the Cincinnati Com
pIsreiai that feeling of encouragement
has fallen upon Democrats, both foreign
and domestic. He says:
The convi;tion is fast taking possession
oG the public mind here that they will
submit without war to the votes of all
three disputed States being cast for HAYES.
The New Orleans Times, to-day, sIgni-
fcaDtly says: "The chronic apathy of
steady prices maintained in all classes OF
securities, is accepted as plSillanimous
determination on their part TO acqnieace
In any solution Of the political muddle
that may be vouehsafed, and Of course an
acceptance of Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina for Hayes, should they be
% counted"
That is the correct view OF the feeling
here now. Few, save politicians and of
hce-seekers, worry themselves much. The
b ,dy Of business men don't want any dis
turbance, but desire the National case
Ssttlod one way or the other, peaceably
and quietly.

The ex Confederate replied that they
would stand firm, and II Northern Demo
erats went 10 war they would probably
furnish ~ many troops as Northern Demo
srAis furnished them in the last war.
War talk has nearly entirely ceased
here, and visitors from the North say it
. the most quiet and peAceable city they
have found in their travels.
The general opinion ia that either side
can better afford TO be dsfrauded out Of
the Presidency than 20 to war. Both
parties say that whoever goes in this time
