II is probable that no moro lively evening
has been passed by the theatre going popu-
lation of Paris than that which was en-
joyed by the audience which a few evenings
ago assembled at the Ambigu to witness the
first performance melodrama entitled lex
patton" This piece, which is tho work of
worthy provincial sugar rcfincr named NJ.
THESE, was intended to DO very pathetic and
to move everybody to tears, and so 1t did, but
trats of laughter. Tho first act passed off
tolerably well, the pcculiarities of style where
with it aboundcd only exciting degree of
mild establishment among the audience. But
after that the wild moroscncss whcrcwith the
dialogue was filled awakened that immense
capacity for ridicule possessed by the Partisan
public, and shouts of ineNtinguishable laughter
greeted every attempt made by tho unhappy
actors to touch the feelings of their hearers.
1t must be confessed that none of the alb.
surditics of tho dialogue were Theoretically
funny. "rhc sweat of my brow" remarks the
hero, has burned thereon the brand of shame"
Elsewhere he cries ''The storm winds rent for
so long within my breast have found q vent,
and are about to break forth - Whereat the
audience fairly screamed with irreprcssble
glcc. The actors finally caught the contagion
Some of them laughed, while others got so
puzzled and confused that they could hardly
go on with their parts. A daniscl of some
forty years of age, who played the part of the
young maiden of the piece, was compelled to
remark in the course of her part, Il am just

vOlley Of incredulous "Oh obs" from the spec

A Remedy Under the Civil Rights Act.

The proprietors of the Grand Union hotel in
refusing Mr.. Seligman the Accommodations of
their house, on the ground that he Is He
brew, have laid themselves liable to the penal
ties Of the civil rights law, approved March /.
1875. That law provides that all citizens
within the Jurisdiction of the United States
shall be entitled to the full aud equal enjoy
ment of the accommodations, advantages, IA
cilities and privileges Of inns, public convey
ances on land or water, theatres and other
places Of public amusement, subject only to
the conditions aud limitations established by
law, and applicable alike to citizens of every
race and color, regardless of any previous con-
dition of servitude. The penalty OF violating
this provision is fine Of $500 for each offense,
to be paid to the person aggricvcd, with full
costs and, in addition further fine of $500
to 81 900 and Imprisonment Of not less than
thirty days, nor more than one year, In the
discretion of the court. Suit may be brought
in United States Court In any district where
the defendant may be found, without regard
to the residence Of the complaining party. 1t
would seem that Mr. Seligman has ample op-
portunity to punish the proprietors Of the
Grand Union for refusing him accommodations

How Hotel Men Regard II,

The hotel proprietors have Been generally
interviewed, and the St. James and Abe.
marie t,rc with the Grand Union at Saratoga,
while the other hotels are glad to receive or
have no rule against receiving Jewish guests.
Of the two objecting, tho manager Of the
Albemarle said he would not have Jews come
TO the hotel at any price, because they killed
good class Of custom wherever they were al
lowed. They rendered themselves obnoxious
to other guests by their egotism and love of
display, and never settled their bills without
cavil. ru..
This opinion, however, is in direct contra.
vention to that Of the proprietors Of other
prominent hotels. ....
The proprietor Of the st. James said that no
jews are wanted, When any call there they
are charged top figures that they may be got
rid of. The reason assigned for this was that
they were never contcnted to pay any price
asked, aud made things disagrecablc to other
larties in the hotel by coming down to break
fast with all the jowelry they could find piled
on, and generally putting on airs at variance
with good taste.
A number of dispatches arc published here
showing the feeling of hotel managers else
where. dispatch from Saratoga gives the
following Us the result of an interview with
hessrs. Claire and Wilkinson, the managers Of
the Grand Union:
For several years past the Jews have crowded In
upon us, until the report has spread that we are

On the 18th instant the following letter was
addressed 10 Capt. p. II. Bowling postmaster
at Toledo, Ohio;
oFFioE FIRST ASSISTANT PosrMAsrEn oENENAbl

To this Capt. Downing replied, and de-
clincd to resign unless causo was assigned
why he should vacate the Office. He preferred
to he removed rather than resign. The New
York Sun yesterday makes this letter an oc-
casion TO attack the Presidents civil service
policy, and said that the contemplated re-

ton with the President had been withheld.
He said that inasmuch as he considered the
request nm unauthorized one, and that as a
compliance with it would undoubtedly give
rise to suspicious concerning the conduct of
his official affairs, he was determined not to
resign. no that II the change be made ho must
be removed ....
He further stated that he had no desire 10
reflect In amy way on the President. aud that
the statement Of his being at variance with
the President, as has been published, is false
In every particular. He said that tho Presi-
dent had received him kindly. aud resolved to

dent to be laboring under wrong impressions.

persons inimical 10 him. His record at the
Post Orice Department. he had been assured,
was irrcproachablc aud that under the circum-
stances he considered ID inconsistent with his
ideas of his duty to resign without some ade-
quatc reason for so doing. Such reason had
not been given him either in the letter request
ing his resignation or siucc and such being the
case he had resolved upon removal rather
than resignation. He further stated that
whore ono or two persons ip Toledo were in
terested in his removal, the mass OF the citi-
zcns were his warm supporters, and no little
indignation was felt that the request should
have been made. In conclusion he said that
he had no fear whatever as to the result; that
he felt assured that the President would rccog-
nize the proprioty of the stand he had taken,
and that no change in his Office would be made.

We HAVE received several communications
in relation to the arrest Of FRANK LEWIS for
acting as guide at the Capitol, and all the
writers denounce II as an outrage Last year
when the city was filed with Centennial WIS.,
itors, large number Of young men thought
they could turn an honest penny" by acting
as guides to point out the objects of interest In
and about the Capitol building. In short
time quite rivalry sprang up between them,
and they became very much of O nuisance in
consequence of their opportunities to be en-
ployod. II was to prevent disorder that rule
was then adopted that no one should act as a
guide who did not have a permit. But the
same necessity does not exist now, and we re-
pudiate the idea that Capt. BLACKBOARD or any
one else has right to make a rule which
would prevent any one who might be en-
ployed by single individual or q party
of gentlemen outside from acting as a guide
within the building. The Capitol building is
free to any one who behaves himself, and the
right il accorded to every one to visit all the
points Of interest within its halls, and Il is
none of the business of the Capitol police to
inquire whether man h n guide or not so
long as he behaves himself The true inward.
ness Of this whole matter seems to be that the
police and employees themselves want to
turn the honest penny" But they are not
there for that purpose They are paid to pro.
tect Government property from being dcfaced
mutilated or stolen, and TO have a general
supervision over 1t to prevent the commission
of crime or disorder within the grounds. They
make great howl whenever Congress pro-
poses to reduce their numbers or their pay;
but is II not logical to conclude that IL they
have time TO act as guides there are either too
many of them for the ordinary duties required,
or that they get paid too much for their SER
yicesy

about time that RICHARDS took official notice
Of the fragrant violations of the liquor law,
although we cannot accord him any praise for
