THE most graceless set OF statesmen" who
ever occupied seats in Congress are the tis-
sue-ballot gentry of South Carolina. Fresh
from the CORY fields of Hamburg, Cainhoy,
and Ellenton, the blood of murdered Repub-
licans, whose only offense was their devo-
tion to the HAYES and WHEELER ticket in
1876, is still traceable on their garments.
Notwithstanding the fact that these men
have made themselves infamous in the eyes
of the loyal North, because Of their mani
fold transgressions against human rights in
their hell-bound State, they have recently
been boasting that Cabinet officers have
given them assurances that all persons
holding Office accredited from the tissue
ballot realm, and not natives of that State,
shall be discharged. Not content with
persecuting and harassing Republicans in
South Carolina, these men have actually
followed them to Washington, and boast oil
their ability to have them discharged from
| positions which they have earned by party
service. Let AIKEN and his colleagues ask
forgiveness for their manifold crimes, which
have too long gone unwhipped Of justice
and cease to persecute men whose records
are as wool when compared with theil
| scarlet autecedents

National Theatre-"H II. VI. $. Pinafore."
The popular greed for the choice bits ofmusic and
fun so abundantly found in "Pnaforc" shows no
signs Of abatement. In fact, the public appetite for
the dainty feast seems to grow with the opporiuni-
ties for enjoying it, The audience that greeted the
first performance of the present week was ms fiat
ering in numbers and quality as the most eXacting
management could desire. The succeeding rendi.
tons have been similarly productive of those de-
sirablc results. "Pnaiore" has become an institu
ton deemed worthy Of the patronage of every class
of Washington society. The most highly cultivated
and distinguished of the Capitals residents nightly
grace the National with their presence
The audience last evening was largely made up
of these constituents Several members OF the
diplomatic corps were present, and Mrs. President
Hayes occupied private box. "PinRforc' will be
performed this evening and during the remainder

Mr. Sam G.. Young at the Saturday matinee, and
Mr.. George Denham, the cevercst and best of al

and most effective strength of cast chorus and or
chestra. Mrs. Fairlamb has also been assigned &c
prominent role.

Dodd, Mead, " Co: Washington, d. c.: William

The author of this volume states that he was
engaged in writing stories from the Greek my
thology for his little son, and while thus en-
gagged he conceived the idea that his efforts
should become public property, as that which
entertained his own child might prove of value
to the children of others, aud hence this vol
ume, which must contribute widely in reveal
ing to the minds of tho young the heroism of
the Greeks in their earlier history.

This was given to build up the Republican

This is quite as near the truth, no doubt,

The entire amount actually paid out of the
