President Hayes made the statement to Il
member of Congress- who called on him to-
day, that there was one feature of the recent
elections in the South which pleased him, and
that was that what the South had heretofore
accomplished by brute force had now given
way to fraud; and herein, at least, was one
point gained, as the negro thus had at least
the protection of life and limb. Referring to
the prosecutions for alleged fraud in the
South, he said that if the juries impaneled

would only have the effect to further solidify

Rose Wood.

At the hour for the rising Of the curtain
last evening, at the Opera House, there was a
general expression of surprise manifested by
the members of the troupe, TO see the vast
room comfortably filled with select and
refined audience, who were present to witness
the performance "Led Astray," with
Rose Wood in the title role. This was in
deed an occurrence calculated TO produce sur
prise as the air had been filled with snow
during the day and the street in a horrible
condition. The large humber Of ladies pres
ent attesIed the Interest taken by them IN
the company.
The play, which is translation from the
French, and consequently Astounding in the
lights and shades OF domestic life gave the
m embers OF the company an ample opportu-
nifty To bring out many points not before
given to the lovers OF the drama here.

was enacted, won deserved applause
by throwing the sympathy of the audience 10

pany seemed rs If at home on the stage, and
the play throughout was most iayoraDly re-
ceiyed. Mr. Lewis Morrison and Miss Wood
were called before the curtain several times
in order that those present might again salute
them.
Before the commencement of the last act
Mr.. Morrison appeared before the curtain.
and ia "A neat speech expressed, on behalf OF
Miss Wood, thanks tor the large attendance,
which he said was totally unexpected,
as he had thought when he observed
the weather duringthe morning, that but
few would brave such a storm 10 attend a
theatre. He said he was under many oDllga-
tions for kind treatment at the hands OF
Messrs. LANG & Chaplin, who had both prov
Ell themselves 10 be gentlemen. He also,
in the warunest terms. thanked The TIMES
for its just criticisms OF the performances OF
the troupe, and said he would never tail To
say a good word for Leavenworth.
He further stated that certain parties had
raised the question s'who is Rose Nood:' and
was about TO finish the sentence, when his
remarks were drowned in the lond applause
of the audience, at the mention OF her name.
This simple act, which he Acknowledged
spoke more for her than he could possibly
have said.

ANOTHER UNFORrUN,TE.
Maj. John N. CroWell EObbles the
Kansas City Mail Carrier.

Mai. John NJ. Crowell, special agent of the
postOffice department., arrived in the city yes
terday, from st. LOUIS in pursuit OF one Tneo-
dure Guenther, a letter carrier OF Kansas city,
Mo-, who has been missing under suspicious
circumstances since about the 2Jth OF NOvem-
Der. The nrst intimaIion of his absence there
under the existing condition OF things led Ia
the belief that he had committed suicide. \
coat, pants and vest belonging 10 him, were
found on the bank OF the Missouri river.
IL mad happened that at about the time OF
his disappearance there We're four registered
letters lost ON Guenther's round of delivery,
aud lie had been suspected Of having ab-
received a letter on the first day after GurlI-
Tiers disappearance. ia which referred 10 the
lost letters and the suspicious against him,
and conveying the Information that he made
He also left pitiful letter 10 his wife and
children saying IuaI they would not See their
.'po"r miserable papa again Till the Lord
brings Us tDLetlsr,n and bidding them "gvod
bye forever, with many kisses" and all the
rest OF il, in the real Stereotype style.
II appears strange that a lively chap ike
Gueniher should jump into the raging Mis-
SOUrl, with nothing on but his hat. In fact,
it don't look like The average MiSsOurian.
The Mi>>ouTlan Is more apt 10 go in with his
clothes on than any other suicide, except the
heuiuckiau. IL Therefore appeared To be "a
case for further Investigation, especially a.
they couldn't rake him out OI tie muddy bot
tom OF the Missouri.
The case was therefore Put in "A special
agents hands, ana Maj. ,rUwell followed the
trail To this city. Here he learned that
Guenther had gone TO Clayton, but ON going
there no trace OF him could be found. ON
returning TO Quincy il wa, learned that Gu
enther had gone 10 Hannibal, yesterday. and
returned here last night. Maj. Croweil took
him into custody abont 3 O'Clock, to-day, and
VIII start with him Tor Kansas City, to-
night.
Daring Guenther's stay in these parts,
which has extended over period OF about
two weeks, he had engaged 10 travel and do
business for a German paper published AT
Beardstown. As things have turned he will
hardly b. able TO keep his engagement.
