Illinois, aud Mr Lincoln had just been elected |
to Congress. After serving Two years In Con- |
gress Mr.. Lincoln formed law partnership
with Mr. Lamon for business on the circuit out
side Of Springfield, retaining his partnership
with Mr., Herndon at Springfield for local busi-
ness. Thus for muny years these two men
sttrayeled the circuit J" together, In suca rela'
tions that they could not but become thorough
" acquainted. When Mr.. Lincoln was made
President he appointed Mr.. Lamon Marshal OF
the District Of Co]umbia, and the intimacy
formed In Illinois continued up to the day o1
the assassination. I have often talked with Mf'
Lamon Of Mr.. Lincoln, and am impressed ti1at
Is man ever loved man, Lamon loved Lincoln
I say this because so much has been printed IN
criticism Of Lannon's biography OF Lincoln aa-
verse to Lamou, and calculated to 1uduce the =
inference that he was Lincoln's foe rather tnan
bis friend. Lannon's work was candid anu
with much less bias than would naturally nave
been suspected from SO warm a friend. inc
biographer felt that the best praise he could
give the dead hero was the simple, colorless
narration OF his life, and this be gave, nausht
cxtenuatc nor aught set down in malice.
Lannon's Life Of Lincoln gives the precise
facts rs to the question presented by Mr. Daley.

The French Opera Company.

Les Cloches de Corneville," Planquettc's
pretty opera. which IL everywhere 30 we'll re-
ceived. was brought out last evening at Booths

Aimee company were in the cast. M6zercs.
Jouard. Juteau. Dupan. Mile. Aimee herself
and n new conner. Mime. Grcgoire. who assumed
the part Of Ge,mdiHe. and proved herself n
very pleasing actress. Her dice rs small and
delicate, hut II is managed with SO much dis
erection and good tasto that her singing gives
much pleasure.
or course, ~ performed by this company tho
interest Of the opera centres on Mezicres repre-
sentation Of the character ofthe old miscr. Gas
pdrd. Even II every other character were in
differently played Mcziercs's performance
would alone be a sufficient inducement To wit
ness the opera. II is not too mu'h to say
that few such intense pictures have ever been
presented upon our STAGE M his delinention Of
the miser. which from first TO last Is consistent
and powerful. M6zieres seems TO have COM
mand Of all tho resources of his art. 1t Is rare
that n truo comedian can assume n serious part
without appearing absurd in IT, and Mezeres
Is one Of the exceptions. being equally great in
the two extremes OF his profession-the humor-
Gus and the tragic.
The other characters, as has been intmated,
were admirably cast and tho performance. rs a
whole. Is most entertaining one. Next Mon
day the company shifts its quarters 90 the Park
Theatre-a smaller house. and vastly better
suited TO the light voices OF the artists and to
the light works that they produce.

WORKING OUT THE coMrRoM1sE.
Two Committees OF the Elevated Railroad,
sun In Consultation.


The conference committees OF tho two
elevated railroad companies having decided to
obviate the crossing OF tracks by transferring
TO the Metropolitan road the tracks between
Chatham square and South Ferry and to the
New York road the right Of way through Cham
bers street from Chatham to West Broadway
the principal question now before the Com
mittees is the bonus that the New York road
shall receive in this exchange. To forestall the
possibility OF the arrangements thus far being
yitiated by future disagreement on this or any
other point. the committees agreed that in tho
event Of their failing 10 come 70 an agreement
upon this question ii should be submitted TO
arbitration by whose decision both companies
would abide.
Vice President Navarro Of tho Metropolitan
road said yesterday that in all probability the
committees would name q sun to he paid by the
Metropolitan road to the New York road for
one years enjoyment OF the privilege, and at
the end OF that time II would be easier TO esti
mate the Values OF the privileges exchanged on
the basis Of the number Of passengers carried
and transferred. He said that the acts Of the
Commuters would not have 20 be ratified by the
companies that they represent, for the commit
tees were given full power to conclude negotia-
tions. In regard 10 the question how the two
roads would complete their circuits by making
connections with their respective east side and
west side lines MIR. Navarro could give no def
mite Information. For the purpose Of trans
ferring rolling stock the Metropolitan road
would certainly Low the New York road the
by II. He said that his road could continue
from Rector street 10 South Ferry by the side Of
the present New York track or cut across
through Beaver street.
