THE EEsH0FEs CASE.
The American Vice Consul at rhilippepeItS
Executed


LONDON, Sept 23.-The correspondent of
the Times, writing under date of September 5,
says that the case of the Geshoffs was for
tunately taken up by Mr.. Layard and also,
for the reason which follows, by the Ameri-
can Minister, and | believe they are as
good as saved, though still in prison. Some
three days before the arrest of the two one
was appointed American Vice Consul, but
owing to the formalities necessary, the papers
signed by the American Minister only reached
Philippopolis the day before I left. The
Joy was great in that refined Bulgarian
home when [ was able to announce
the fact to the sister and aged
father of one of the prisoners that United
States Minister Maynard had intrlsted the
necessary papers to the correspondent of the
Edinburg Scotsman, who had travelled night
and day TO save these two Innocent men from
a shameful death. However, a subsequent
telegram, via Siria, of date 18th inst, rem
ders it probable that the sentence has since
been carried into execution and that the ef-
forts of their friends in this country will
come too late.

Academy of Musfc-Raby.

The Park Theatre Company of New York pre-
ssnted Baby" for the first time in our city, last
evening at this theatre. The play is one of those
sprightly conaedie-odadegiUes of the French re-
persoire which has made the fortune of many a
French dramatic author, and when divested o.
their unnecessary vulgar .1eur despra are moi
| only acceptable but provide fund of amusement
which writers of other nationalities fail to pro.
vide in their most relicitous attempts.
We had been led to believe BY "our ex-
change" clippings, those Internal pieces of has.
tard criticism which are constantly foisted upon
us by theatre managers, that the "Baby" was
not only broad to excess, but indecent and unfi,
for polite people to see. Whatever "Bsby NAV
be SIS originally produced on the Partisan boards,
Baby" as adapted by Mr.. McDonough presents
no serious objections in its text, except to dis.
torted minds and as to its situations, which are
rich, racy and rapid, there is not single one
which is a bit more immoral than those in our
own "School for Scandal We have not time to
speak Of the play st length tonight. We can say
in few words that it is amusing, and, at times,
side-sphtting, and well worth seeing.
The company contains two actors of superior
merit. Mr.. ". 81. Bailey, who played the part of
the baby's father, and Mr.. J. ". Lemoyne, who
played that Of the tutor. Mr.. McDonough (Oieue-
Mdgnus) pleased us very much, and but foe the
straining at effects of Mr.. Collier, the Baby, We
would have compliment to pay him. We were
disappointed in one respect only; in noticing that
the players did not know their parts as thoroughly
as sectors should who have been playing together
for such long time. We venture this remark
after making all due allowance for the intricacies
of the dialogue and of the situations
Some of our exchanges informed us in advance
that there was nothing in the play but fun and
laughter. We beg to differ with them. Bdby is
the spoilt child Of his mamma, who is blinded by
her affections into believing thsta her SON is
paragon of morality. Her fault is to see no
further than her apron strings, an error into
which many fond mothers too frequently fall.
nee there is moral taught by the play, not
outstanding its mantle of levity. 1t ia certainly
more moral thsn the ssfaithless and forgive
plays which abound On the American stage Of to-
day,

THE kEMrER COUNTY INDICTMENTS
IYicksburg Herald. Sept. 2o.l

From the reliable Meridian Mercury we learn
six indictments for murder, and twenty five
indictments against those charged with being
accessory to murder. We presume that near
ly all these indictmets were found sgainst
parties implicated in the Kemper riots IL
thir is the case, and we have no doubt of it,
all the howls of the Northern press and poll
ticians must go for naught. The grand jury
has done its duty, and the course of Justice
not nc tine mean to say bv this. that t. ali these indicto
ments viii be sustained for we do not know
whether or not all of them should be sus-
tanned. What we mean to say is that the in
dicted parties will have to be tried by the
laws of their State, and if found guilty, will
be punished, if it takes all the power of the
State to do it. This is all that can be done in
any State
