ADJUSTMENTS.
"GrRorLE-crnorrA" AT BOOTHS THEATRE.

Lecocas three act opera boufe ''Girohe- -Giroda is
well known to New York. II received last night
by a tolerably full house and went capitally. The
singing good and the acting better SO that the
frequent applause fairly earned. Some apology
on account of indispostion made beforehand for
Mile Well, who sustained the title roles
There is no need to rehearsc the story OF this piece

than many of it's predecessors. 1t is full Of fun and

De.eeration or tho Grave.

Fiendish ingenuity in devising ways to
make money can scarcely 60 to viler ex-
tremes than that it has touched in dragging
from its sepulchre the body of the late Mr..
Stewart. Several similar dissertations of
the grave have been reported within COM
paratively short time, and the public will
remember that an attempt Of the same
nature against the remains Of President
Lincoln was prevented by timely discovery
of the horrible scheme. Rich mems bodies
or the bodies of those in whom for any
better reason than their wealth great in
terest is taken, bid fair at this rate to be-
come merchandise in our American cities,
as the bodies of poor way yfarers did in Edin-
burgh in the days Of Burke. Millionnaires'
bodies are likely to be as unsafe in our city
cemeteries as their fortunes in our courts,
and if the predatory lawyers and the disap-
pointed relations tearing at one another over
a great estate shall waste in their conflicts
all respect for the mans name and memory,
still there shall be no rest for him, for the
human ghouls and hyenas have yet to tear
his poor remains from the earth-to make
them the subject, as they hope, of an infa-
nous traffic. But in the present case we be-
lieve this infamous transaction will not end
as its projectors have thought. They will
not be dealt with for the remains, if the re-
ports are accurate-as we trust they are
but will be pursued for their crime with the
utmost energy. It is said that any amount
deemed necessary will be supplied tor the
pursuit Of the criminals, but not cent for
the ransom of the body. In taking this
course the friends of Mr. Stewart will act
as the public thought would suggest; for
however painful is the inAiction Of such an
outrage upon affectionate or religious senti-
ments the desire to see justice done upon men
such as the authors Of this outrage must
be will dominate every other. Profit is of
course the only possible motive in the case;
for subjects for dissection are so plentiful
in this city that there is no temptation to
crime on that score, and if 1t could be sup
posed that any specialist wished to examine
Mr.. Stewards brain or to possess his skull
it may safely be assumed that no such per-
son had money enough 10 urge men
to this endeavor. But the Cathedral
at Garden City approaches its completion
and that edifice was indeed to be the mau-
soleum Of the great merchant. Perhaps the
body snatchers reasoned that if nearly
million dollars had been spent on an edifce
to contain this body the friends would
spend at least an equal sum rather than not
have the body to put in this costly edifce.
Doubtless that thought was the basis of this
atrocious speculative venture; for as each
person engaged risks five years in the State
Prison, and as the risk Of discovery was Ger
tainly very great, this crime could have only
been entered upon in the hope of great
gains. An absolute disappointment in that
respect will end this sort of enterprise just
here otherwise the crime will become FASH
ionable.

Dummies.

Some of the English papers declare that
gov bank were mere dummies" and knew
nothing of what was being done by the man
ayers of the swindle. Very likely, and in
that very fact consists their guilt. There
are sins of omission as we'll as of commis-
sion, and the man who. by allowing his
name to be used as a sign of respectability,
assists in deluding those who believe in him,
is as deserving of punishment as any other
hypocrite. The mere fact of willingness to
be dummy where o man is nominally a di-
rector OF great financial interests which
seriously affect thousands of people proves
degree of moral obliquity that deserves
utter contempt and severe punishment.
Sooner or later this dummy" plea will be
offered in the United States, for We have
many great corporations that are practically
managed by one or two men each, and these
men may make of the directors either
shield or catspaw, as best serves their pur-
poses. Director means nothing Of this
kind; the title signifies that the person
bearing it has accepted trust, and by his
activity or carelessness regarding this trust
is the measure of his honesty and capacity
determined. The man who, once or twice
year, merely indorses whatever report is
