In response to request for permission
for the Walker Light Guard to pass through
the State Of North Carolina on their way to
Charleston, Governor Vance, on Wednes-
day, telegraphed the following:
RALEIGH, n. c., February Goth.

The nomination Of United States Mar
shall Ramsdell by the President was expect
ed. Unless Mr.. Hayes intended to appoint
a good Democrat there seemed no reason
why DIr. Ramsdell should not be retained.
He was endorsed by all the United States
Judges and court officers OF the District;
by General Wiekham and the leading Re-
publicans of the State; and (as to personal
character) by number OF prominent DEM
ocrats of the State. The uniform polite
ness OF DIr. Ramsdell and his assistant,
Colonel Nye, have recommended them to
the favor OF persons having business with
the court, most OF whom disagree with them
in politics. - .-
DR.. Moffett yesterday received a telegram

THE PoLIcY-HoLDERs Of the New York
Life-Insurance Company in Virginia will
read with pleasure its thirty-third annual
statement Which appears in another col
umn, as it indicates that honest and able
management on the part OF its officers and
trustees has conducted the company safely
through the past thirty-three years, during
which period 80. many other corporations
and financial institutions have been wreck
ed, and shows now, after year Of unusual
depression, larger number Of policies in
force than ever before in its history. This
company stands conspicuously before the
public as one which has never inserted in
its policies many Of the restrictions and OBJ
jectionable features used by some other
companies; and its representatives in this
city ask an examination Of its form OF poll
icy by persons contemplating insurance,
and offer to. demonstrate its special features
and advantages. 1t is the only life-insu-
rance company doing business in the State
having the maximum required by the de-
posit law-to wit: $4,000 on deposit with
the Treasurer of the State. 81, !.

Mrs, OATES AS La PERICHoLE

Mrs. OATES AS LA PERICHoLE. NotWith-
anding the threatning aspect OF the weather
another large audience greeted Mrs. Oates
at the Theatre last night. Offenbach's
fayorite opera OF La Perichole was pre-
sented. Mrs. Oates as the heroine was per-
feet, both in her singing and acting, but
great disappointment was expressed at her
failure to sing "Good-bye, Sweetheart,
Goodbye" which was conspicuously men-
toned in the programme. Mr. Laurent as
PiquilIo acted and sung with great spirit,
and fairly divided the honors with Mrs.
Oates. Messrs.. Allen, Hall, Bell (as the old
prisoner(, Misses Delaro, Winston, and
others in the cast, rendered very effective
support, and the choruses were excellent.
La Perichole is an opera that will never be-
come popular in Richmond it has some OF
the worst features OF the R'reach opera
bouffe without the redeeming ones Of the
Grand Duchess, Girofe- Girofia, Les Ba-
wards, and others in Mrs. Oates 'srepertoife.
Tonight Mrs. Oates takes benefit, on
which occasion she appears for the first time
in this city in Barbe Blue-one OF her best
operas, and in the personation, OF when
she is unequalled.l AS this will be the last
visit Of our fayorite, it may be, for years,
she should have q bumper. AT the matinee
tomorrow La Periehole will be fepeatec,
and tomorrow night Oates bids us fareWeii
in her charming character OF the Princess OF
iTrcbizonde. =, !,
All who have not heard her should avail
themselves OF ithesealast opportunities, as
she has no equal for dash and yiyacity IN
the peculIar line OF character OF which. she
Is now Americas leading representative.
