ever, was heard rather too often and occasion.

readily to give the right effect. This is one of
the greatest diff ,uites at this theatre and a
very serious one, too, for it makes the first
night of piece too often simply dress re-
hearsal. Miss Marsh made a very pretty Mrs.
Ormsby Deluaine, acting the part with her
accustomed ease. She dressed tn, part finely.
Miss Campbell was very acceptable as Mrs.
Tor'ens, while Miss Bailey appeared to good
advantage as Emma Torrens. Mr.. Bascomb
made his first appearance with this company
last evening and was received with warm ap-
plause by the audience. He made an excellent
Charles Torrens, and played with his usual
good taste. Mr.. Meeker was rather heavy as
Capt, Mcguire and was not at all times up in
his part. MIR. Wooderson was a sprightIy
Frank Vincent, and Mr.. Theadore was a very
gloomy looking Shaker.

HRAL BLocKADz OF THE RAILRoADs.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. t.-The late snow storm
has 20 completely blocksd the Eastern roads that
no live stock has been sent from this point for the
Eastern market since Friday. The New York
Central Railroad Company will PROBABLY not
ship before Thursday, in case no further dsten-
lions are experienced BY storms, az the bulk Of
their stock cars are showed IN on the side tracks
OF the road. On the Erie road the shipnents will
be very light for some few days, on account Of
shortage of cars and the heavy condition Of the
road. At the East Buffalo yards there ara 200
cars Of cattle, 90 Of hogs and IS of sheep. West
ern stock generally is arriving from twenty to
twenty-four hours behind time and in o bad con-
dition.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1877-01-16
Views OF a Rebel ex.Radfcal.

1t is curious to note the class of persons
most quoted by the Democracy In their present
dilemma as distinguished authority on the
subject of the electoral count and the issues
generally appertaining TO the situation; and 1t
is even more strange to observe the particular
tone and terms maintained by these orscles in
their diatribes against the supposed purpose of
the Republican party. The class thus appro-
priated and employed is composed Of the small
fraction of the LIBERAL party which sought its
way thither from the Republican lines because
It was not satisfactorily honored there, and sub
sequently CROPPED fits way blindly into the camp
of the Democracy, prepared to become the Ar
holds and Burrs Of their advocacy. And among
the terrible epithets applied by these revolters
totheir old CO laborers is the one which, in COM
mon with them, they were wont to bear so
gracefully when CONTEMPORARY used by their
present associates. The characterization of the
Republican party as ''the Radicals" by one of
these, ex- Governor Brown, Of Georgia, tends
strongly to recall the day, not long since, when
he was himselftoo radical for the Radicals, and
his notion of an appropriate plank in the Re-
publican platform was so extreme and advanced
in its conceptions CT policy that his friends from
the North were compelled to object to its adop-
ton, protesting that it would carry their sec
ton against them.
In the Chicago convention Of 1868 this same
Joseph z. Brown was delegate from Georgia,
and escorted Gen. Hawley, the permanent
president, to the chair, amid great cheering
ior the ex-governor and Gen. Hswley." In
