National Theatre--"tTitz In Irela' d."
Tho word.renownod German comedian, Mr..
j. X. Emmett, made his appearance last night
at the National Theatre before large audi
enoe, after having visited all the principal
cities In Europc. in his rewritten drama of
Fritz in Ireland" The play affords Mr.. EN-
met ample opportunity to display his abilities
as an actor and comedian Of the highest rank.
lie introduces number of German songs com
posed by himself which were rendered III
very pleasing manner, and called forth hearty
applause, The support is very crcdtab'e, aud
he scenery, which was painted especially for
this pcce by London artist is beautiful.
Ford's Opera-IIouso-"Dr clyde"
We doubt If Ford's over held within its

adaptation of the famous German authors
U'ATonge) "Dr. Claus" aud while the trans
lator has kept sufficiently near TO the original
to lose none of its exquisite humor hc has
admirably suited it to tho English characters
whom he substitutes for tho original creations.
There is not much of plot, but tho whole is
most wonderful mcluRge of wit, patlos,
humor and broad fun. As for the company to
whose hands the play has boon intrustrd, it
deserves unqualified commentator. Miss
Hattie Dean Mcconnell proved to her many
warm admirers last evening that their antct'
pations Of her successful dramatic career arc
not to be disappointed. A moro extended
notice of play and players Is rendered impos-
sible to-day by the pressure upon our columns
but we reserve it for another opportunity

The House yesterday passed, under suspen-
sion of the rules, the bill reported from tho Com
employment of eighty additional clerks in the
Pension Bureau aud seventy additional clerks
in the Aajutant-Gencral's Office, for service
on pension cases for the balance of this fiscal
year There is a seeming disposition on the
part Of Congress to pay some attention to the
demands of pensioners for the prompt settle
mcut OF their cases. 1t is claimed that 250-
900 cases are awaiting settlement, aud that
the present force in the Pension Office is not
adequate to transact the current business.

The Vote of Indiana.

We spoke last week of the error in
voting for Presidential electors in Indi-
ana, by which one electors name was
left OFF the ticket in several counties, so
that this one man failed to receive as
many votes as the Democratic electors.
1t is stated however that the state can
vassers have permitted the correction
of the returns, thus giving the entire
electoral vote to Garfield, as was in
tended. The facts are thus stated by
the indianapolis Journal:
Bennett, mayor of the city of Rich
mond, Indiana, was nominated as one
of the republican electors. The chair
man of the State Central committee
advised the withdrawal of Bennett,
because he was mayor. Bennett hest
tated, but finally, within few days of
the election, did withdraw his name,
and Parker was substituted. General
notice was given of the change, and the
tickets were printed with the name of
Parker as one of the electors. 1t seems
that in Indiana italy papers" are dis
tributed to the officials of the election,
and on these tally papers the name of
Bennett remained, in certain counties,
the tally papers being printed in differ
ent places for local use. The returns
were sent, therefore, from few coun-
ties, of votes as given for Bennett,
which we're actually given for Parker.
The votes show for themselves; there
is not the slightest question who was
voted for and chosen. The simple
question presented to the State can
vassers was whether the vote should
control, or the tally papers.

An Unusual Scene.

Gen. Grant visited Plymouth church
a few Sundays since, as many other
prominent men might have done. He
probably discovered hereif he never bad
before, the Inconvenience of celebrity.
After the sermon Gen. Grant retained
his seat until the congregation should
pass out, but the congregation was loath
to pass Quit fingered, and whispered,
and looked, until Mr.. Beecher had to
declare that that house was where God
was worshipped instead of man! This
was pretty sharp cut on somebody
whether upon the General or the con-
gregation we can't exactly say. But the
upshot was that the hero of Appomat-
tox got up and walked out We do
not know but Mr.. Beecher was right in
his action, but it seems to us he was a
little bit sensational and extraordinary
about it. The Boston Herald facetious-
ly remarks, "Beecher didn't want his
congregation to suppose that he was
not bigger man than old Grant," 1t
seems to us if we had been in the Gener-
ais place we should have "sot," as Jo-
siah Aliens wife would say, and waited
until the breeze had passed.

R. S. Taft Elected Judge.

The Legislature on Friday elected R.
S. Taft of Burlington sixth associate
Judge to fill the vacancy made by "re-
firing" Judge Barrett. There was a
good deal of skirmishing and scrimmag-
ing over this election, and the following
is the record
First ballot: w. X. Walker 70, L.
w. Rowell 60, James Barrett 81, r. s.
Taft %, L. II. Thompson ID, f. L.
Waterman l6, scattering 9, and there
was no choice. Senator Gleason said
he was authorized to say for James
Barrett that he positively declined to
have his name used. The second bal
lot resulted: Walker GA, Rowell 81,
Taft 46, w. G. Dunton 30, Thompson
IL, Waterman 16, scattering 10. The
third ballot resulted: Taft "a, Walker
33, Rowell 81, Dunton 10, Waterman
IL, scattering Is. The names of Walk
err, Waterman, DuntOn, and ROwell
were then withdrawn, and Taft was
elected by reclamation.
The result of this election was sur
prise to the state. AS the bench is now
made up there is but one Judge
(Ross) on the east side of the state !;
Judges Redfeld and Powers in the CEN
trail part, and the other four, PierpOint,
Royce, Veazey and Taft, OH the west
side. 1t was expected that the new
Judge would be taken from Orange,
Windsor or Windham counties, but the
wire-pullers in the Legislature, and
out of it, found the man they wanted in
Mr.. Taft.
Russell S. Taft is a native of Willis
ton, As years old, has been senator from
Chittenden county, Lieut.. Governor in
1872, and is a member of the present
Legislature. He is a lawyer of fair
ability.
