THE "CoLoRED PINAFoRE" AT THE
OPERA HOUSE.
The appearance of the "Colored Pima
fore Company" at the Grand Opera
House, on Saturday night, was greeted
by a small audience dow stairs, but the
gallery was crowded to repletion with
the bon ton as we'll as the "riff-raff" of
Wilmington's colored society. The play
was presented in fairly creditable man-
ner considering the character of the
company ,and was source ofreal amuse-
ment to the audience throughout. The
Josephine was yellow damsel of fair ap-
pearance and good voice, while the But
tercup sang with sprightliness that re-
ceived more than one encore. The Sir
Joseph was admirable IN singing and
makeup, and the Captain, though rather
heavily acted, was sung in good STYLE
The Ralph RdckstrdD was g failure, both
in singing and acting, but the Dick
Deddeye was the most remarkable con-
ception of the character yet seen in this
city. 1t was not the morose, sullen sail
or that the play has heretofore present.
ed, but limb r-legged, rollicklug tar,
who. while displaying to the full extent
his rancorous feeling towards the rest
of the crew, found opportunity to caper
around like handorgan monkey 10 the
intense delight of the audience. The
chorus while not at all artistic, was full
and strong, aud the whole performance
was satisfactory to all preseut.

aware near Reedy Island he saw the
body of man lying upon the Island

From the N. Y. World.
Let Cong ress do Its Work.

There is less jubilation than there was
in the camp Of the stalwarts. Their
leaders are not happy under the inde-
pending consideration Of the supervisor
and impartial jury law which will begin
when Mr.. Hayes signs the veto which
tie hackers Of Gi ant have already drawn
up and sent to the White House. All
along the stalwart line ascends a loud
cry for the adjournment OF Congrts IS.
That cry, we opine, will not be answered
tomorrow or next week. Certainly it
will not be answered until the sta,w arts
permit the Treasury to reply to Mr.. Bay
ards resolution of inquiry about the
emoluments Of Davenport, which tue
Senate adopted nearly six weeks ago.
Congress Is urged to adjourn on the
pretext that the pending discussion of the
silver question is barmfIl. Every sens
BILE u an of business knows that 1t Is most
ben. ficisl, ,inasmuch as it brings out clear
ly the merits of the conflicting ideas and
enables the country to pass judgment
intelligently OH the arguments Of the ad-
vocates OF those ideas. Of government
by suppression we have had enough. 1t
is h'gh time that we should have gov
ernment based on that freedom of dis
cussion which In government is essen
tial to law and order. II the credit of
the United States cannot endure free
discussion In Congress of the silver Dusi-
ness, self-goverDnent among us must in-
deed have become delusi,n and sbam.
Ii our public life is full of demagog,ies
and charlatans and rogues let them all
come up into the light of day and show
themselves in their true colors. Let lis
know who they are and how many there
are of them. Ii the craftsmanship, good
sense and honesty of the country cannot
deal with them safely, certainly the gag
and the bayonet canIol. This is gov
ernment Of the people, be it understood
first, lat and always. 1t is not gov
ernment by any special class of citizens
or preordaincd rulers in whom the land
must put its trust and be dumb.
Especially in relation to the election
Of members of Congress must there bt
popular discussion and popular action,a
well as discussion between The executive
and legislative departments of the Gov
ernment. The people must inquire d.
nouO whether there is any real and ne
cessary distinction between the mode o
electing persons to carry on the govern
ment of one of the States AMI the mode
of elecLing persons who are to represent
the State in congress or assemblage o
members from all the States.

AN interesting decision has just been
rendered in a gas case by the Circuit
Court of the District of Columbia. The
Washington Gaslight Company cut off
the gas from a mans place, Of business
because he had not paid bill he owed
for gas used at his residence. The man
brought suit for damages, and the Court
decided in his favor. Probably nobody
but a gas company would have the
cheek to do thing of this sort, but the
Washington Company has followed the
system for years, and the public, with
its usual good nature, has gone on
standing the injustice until finally a
man had the happy thought Of testing
the question in court.
