Auence Of astute Democratic politicians nc the
South is being employed to the utmost to secure
the choice of Republican delegates favorable to
his nomination from States which will not be
allowed to give single electoral vote to any
Republican. This is true, and that influence
has not been used wholly in vain. The delega-
tons from the South will not be entirely united,
but strong body favorable to General Grants

Republicans Of the North have the sagacity to

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

MISS NELSON IN TWELFTH NIGHT.
IT might DO possible to view with considerable
apaty the representation Of the greater part of the
drama of "Cymboine." 1t is not possible to view
in any other spirit than that OF radiant pleasure the
representation of Twelfth Night" The former

To Miss Neilson-who rcappeared in Twelfth
Night" last evening, at Booths Theatre, acting
Vola-the public is indebted for its successful and
abiding revival. Prior to her adoption Of 1t into
her repertory 1t had not. on the New-YOrk stage,
been revived more than five or six times since Its
first production in America In 1903 The difficulty
in the way of its prosperous presentation has
always been to obtain an entirely suitable cast
for its principal characters. The most splendid
general presentment of it that probably,
ever was made here occurred at Wallack's
Theatre, in 1853, when Burton, Lester WellaOk,
Blake, Placide, Miss Weston and Miss Taylor were
among It's representatives. Miss Nelson, without
at any time the auxiliar power Of an exceptional
cast, has carried the comedy into the steady and
continuous current of practical popular favor by
means Of her own individual itness-perfect at

MIR. RUMMELs RECITALs.

The first of Mr.. Franz RummePs series Of piano
forte recitals took place at Stenway Hall yesterday
afternoon. His programme comprised Liszt's
arrangement of the A minor prelude and fugue
Of Bach, the Beethoven Sonata op. 20. Mendels.

Etudes Symphoniques. and four Chopin selections,
the Impromptu, Cd. 20, Nocturne, op. 81. No. 2.

cellent technique, taste, intelligence,
broad and manly style, and plenty Of dash

TO-DAY'S CONVENTIONS.

Four State Conventions will be held to-day,
which may have an important bearing upon the
Presidential nominations The Democrats Of
Pennsylvania aud Connecticut, and the Repub-
hcans of Ohio and Arkansas, will select dele
gates to the respective National Conventions.
The greatest degree of interest attaches to the
gatherings in Pennsylvania and Ohio, for both
have been preceded by bitter contests, and the
result has been uncertain until the last moment.
One thing is clear-that the Pennsylvania
Convention will not give the alleged candidacy
Of Mr.. Tilden the impetus many Of his friends
have hoped for. Thanks to the efforts of
Speaker Randall, there will be Tilden gains,
but there will be no Tilden victory. Our special
DISPATCHES show that while Senator Wallace is
glad to compromise with his opponents, he is
boasting, and with good reason, that he has
defeated Mr.. Tilden's attempt to capture the
Pennsylvania delegation. If there is no unit
rule, as now seems probable, Mr.. Tilden will
have number of votes in the delegation, but it
cannot be proclaimed to the country that Penn
sylyania has ranged herself alongside of New
York IN the Tilden ranks. Tie moral effect of
the Harrisburg Convention will therefore be
against hun. In the Connecticut Convention,
on the other hand, the election Of delegation
which will support him in case he is q candidate
seems assured. But his support is of that cold
and Indifferent kind which means little in his
favor il earnestness counts for anything in pol
tiCs.
The Ohio Convention is, OF course, in the
hands of Secretary Sherman's friends, and will
by resolution place him formally ill the list Of
candidates proposed by their own States. No
attempt will be made to enforce unit rule, and
Mr.. Sherman will owe the solid vote Of the dele
cation in the first balloting at Chicago, should
he obtain it, to the goodwill of Mr.. Blaine's
supporters. The Arkansas Convention will be
pleasantly irresponsible body. 1t will repre-
sent no electoral votes, have nothing to risk,
and will be at liberty, therefore, to consult only
the personal interests Of its members. 1t will
probably be for General Grant.
Thus the day will hardly be one of great re-
suits, but rather OF much important detail To-
m orrOw, Republican Conventions will be held in
South Carolina and California Little more
than month now remains before the Chicago
Convention, and the whole campaign is quick

THE AGREEMENT IN THE SENATE.

The dispute over The KellOgg-Butler agree
ment has been conducted with a display Of
temper and pretence Of Indignation on the
Democratic side which are highly absurd to
those who know the facts Some of these per-
sons are quarrellinG about words; others are
lying. What really happened when Kellogg
and Butler were admitted during the night ses
sion of November 80, 1877, is perfectly well
understood. The session was about closing /;
unanimous consent was required to take up
either case; and parties were so evenly bal
anced that two doubtful Senator'S Messrs. Pat
tersOn and COnOver, held the Senate at dead
lock. The dilemma arose from the fact that
these gentlemen were in favor of admitting
Kellogg, but in the South Carolina contest they
sided with the Democrats. II vote should be
taken on Kellogg first, he would be admitted,
and then his.yOte would suffice to keep out But

The report which we give to-day of Mr.. Will
lam Z. Dodge's lecture upon Old New-YOrk will
be read with pleasure by every New-YOrler,
whether he has been familiar with any of the
scenes and incidents Mr.. Dodge describes, or
whether he is learning for the first time what
the city of his adoption once was. There is
special appropriateness in Mr.. Dodges appear
ance as the historian of the city's progress if
his modesty will permit us the use of that title.
There is no individual citizen who has done
more to hasten the city's growth and increaseits
prosperity. We venture to say that there has
been mo demonstration of public spirit i'll New
York during Mr.. Dodge's manhood in which he
has not borne prominent and honorable part.
In recording the changes Of half century,
therefore, he is describing changes in which Ehe
has had an active share only as a single citizen
to be sure, but still the share of largchearted,
sagaciOus and influential man. In addition to
all this, it is to be said that the matter Of the
discourse itself would command wide au-
dience. entirely irrespective of its authorship.
The quaint details of our civic fife early in the
century are set down in q plain and hOmely
fashion which is characteristic of the man and
commands instant interest There are few his
tories Of cities more curious than ours, and there
are few better ways of telling it than this.
