Now that we are about to have three prom variations of the drama are to be presented, a few words regarding their success are not out of place. The new Opera House, which MT. Carn has, with praiseworthy persistence, suc- ceeded in making a reality, will of course have it's peculiar attractions. The New Haven Opera House and the Grand Opera House formerly Music Hall) will also continue to have their patrons and friends. But success with these different houses is not going to depend on the attractions of the buildings or previous popularity and patronage. It will depend upon the quality of the performances, and where the best is given there the public will go. And while on this subject we might as well say that theatre goers in New Haven are not satisfied with the third or fourth-class entertainments so frequently given here. They are not satisfied, either, with the or chestras which have been usually employed. An orchestra is supposed to exist for the en- tertainment of an audience, but the orches- tras in New Haven theatres are, as a general thing, instruments of torture. Of course there is another side to this matter, and manager cannot afford to lose money to please the public. But it really seems if there might be one place in New Haven where theatre-goers could be reasonably sure of finding good company on the stage, and fair orchestra in front of Cor beneath) it. Many believe such management would pay.

using complimentary frank on the Western
 Union line for transacting his political cor
 respondence. At the same time it is admit ted that he is making close canvass of the State, and that where he is satisfied money is
 needed he will use it in his own way .-------. -- In a letter to friend in Washington, a colored farmer of Virginia writes as follows
 touching the political sentiments of his neighbors. 'In the remote portions of Vir- ginia, in the village where I was born, the
 most hot headed Democrats have already be-
 gun to enumerate their former slaves, believ-
 ing, as they do, that in case Hancock is elect
 ed to the Presidency, they will be paid for
 them by the Government. Some have gone
 so far already as to secure the afidavits of
 persons who know that they owned certain
 slaves, the purpose being to use these afida-
 wits in the Court of Claims in case they get
 control of the Federal Government by the
 election of Hancock" The writer also says
 that if Hancock is elected there will be such a stampede of colored people from the South that it would be impoverished and made barren for the want of laborers.
 There are other places in the world beside
 ''the great Vest to which to emigrate, and a correspondent of an English paper thinks he has found one of them in the Falkland Islands. According to his statement the coun- try is rapidly progressing, and within ten years the population and imports have nearly doubled, while the exports have increased nearly four-fold. The chief, and perhaps only, industry of the islands is the raising of sheep, and the larger raisers have sheep ranges which cover areas of from 25, 900 to 15O, 900 acres each. The annual product of wool per sheep is twice as great as in Buenos Ayres, while the meat of the animal is also better. One of the several drawbacks to the islands is the difficulty of communicating with the rest of the world. Mails and passen- gers leaving Port Stanley go by a small schooner a thousand miles to Montevideo, where connection is made with the regular line of steamers for England. Another draw back is the severity of the winds at the Falk- lands and still another, their extreme south ern location. The wind is terrible in these lonely islands, and not only are the gales in- tensely severe, but they continue for about eleven months out of the year, and by their force prevent trees and shrubs of any size from growing. There will be no immediate rush from this country to the Falkland Islands.

DEAR SIR,-We return "The

examined with interest. We think it

The Portland daily press., 1880-03-20

THE New York Post is not inclined to ac-
cept Garcelons 'wicked partner" excuse,
and discourses of the matter thus:
Among ill-considered proverbs is that one
which atfirms that a poor excuse is better than
none At least Mr.. Garcelon has lately been
illustrating the falsity of the saying. The ex-
cuse which the Ex-Governor of Maine offers for
his conduct in the rascally canvass of the votes
of that State is great deal worse than no ex-
cuse at all. In substance he says that he did
not know what he was doing; that he signed
papers which were presented to him without
ascertaining whether the official assertions
which they contained were true or false; that
in issuing certificates of election as members of
of the Legislature to persons who never were
elected and in withholding certificates from
persons who were elected, he took the word of
his friends and associates that it was all right.
Garcelon cannot escape in this way. The du-
ty which he was called upon to perform was
not q mere formality. He and the members of
his Council were the actual canvaSSerS OF re-
turns. He had no more right than any other
canvasser to act with his eyes shut; and if all
of the canvaSSers had so acted there could have
been no canvass at all. The case was not one
of mere neglect Garcelon was bound, even
in an uncontested election, to know what h Q
was doing; but in this case it was impossible
for him not to know what he was doing. Be-
fore he signed the certificates the facts Of fraud
or intended fraud were known from one end
of Maine to the other. If he didInot know what
was going on he was the only man in the State
who was ignorant of the truth. His attention
was plainly and peremptoriy directed to the
fraud by formal protest, by public opinion, by
the Supreme Court. His criminal act was one
of commission rather than one of omission. 1t
would have been better for him to stand upon
his original ground, that he had done only
what was right from the purest motives OF
patriotism, false and absurd as that ground
was than to come forward now with the tardy
and lame excuse that he did not know what he
was about.

FoOling the Cat.

Window glass is a terrible perplexity to the
animal creation. The murmurs of astonish-
meht fly emits when he goes headfrst against
pane of it is familiar to all. But perhaps
the most tormented creature is a friendly cat
on one side of the glass with hand pretending
to stroke tabby's back on the other side. The
cats back will arch in the customary attitude
of such occasions and a faint purr, suddenly
interrupted by surprise at the absence of sen.
sation along the fur, is heard. She turns and
tries it the other way, but in vain. Her phil.
osophy is not equal to the occasion, and she goes
off in despair. What can a steady-going ami
NAL think of mems "new-fangled notions?''
The Portland daily press., 1880-03-20

In summing up the admission made by
Garcelon the Boston Journal says: "The
laws prohibit the Governor from spending
money not appropriated by the Legislature.
Governor Garcelon took and spent without
authority more than $1,000 of such money;
the law limited the watchmen in the State
House to two men Governor Garcelon made
the number forty; the legislature is the only
power to create officers; Governor Garcelon
surrounded himself with a score or more.
He left the Office of Governor with more
than $4,000 of the public funds in his hands,
and as private citizen has been paying
bills that should have been sent to the Coun-
Gil for audit and been paid upon the warrant
of the Governor. More than two months out
of Office and a private citizen, he confesses
that he has in his possession at the present
time nearly $1,000. He confessed that he
paid his special counsel for services de-
signed to defeat the will of the people fee
amounting to half as much as the salary of
the Attorney General"
The Portland daily press., 1880-03-20

SoLoN CHAsE's new paper, Chase's En-
quirer, has put in an appearance. In the
first number the Enquirer editorially says {:
fThe Governor and Council counted too
snug. Men we're given certificates who
were not elected, and certificates were re-
fused to men who were elected. This is
the plain English of the counting out in
Maine" 1t is pity Mr.. Chase didn't find
his voice little sooner.

American Inventions.

An English journal gives credit to American
genius for at least fifteen inventions and dis
coveries which, it says, have been adopted all
over the world. These triumphs of American
genius are thus enumerated:
First, the cotton-gin; second, the planning
machine; third, the grass-mower and grain
reaper; fourth, the rotary printing-press; fifth,
navigation by steam; sixth, hot-air or caloric-
engine; seventh, the sewing machine; eighth,
the India rubber industry; ninth, the machine
for the manufacture of horse shoes; tenth, the
sand-blast for carving; eleventh, the guage-
lathe; twelfth, the grain elevator; thirteenth,
the artificial ice manufacture on a large scale;
fourteenth, the electro-magnet and its practical
application; fifteenth, the composing machine
for printers.
