THE OPERA.-MARTHA.

The pretty tuneful airs of Flotows opera, which
was given last night at tho Academy of Music, do
not seem to have lost any of their attractveness,
though the work is probably more backneyed than
any other to-day in the ropertory of Italian
opera companies. All the familiar pieces
were warmly appauded last evening,
and many of them had to be repeated,
and the performance evidently gave the
liyeliest pleasure. The opera was prettiiy
mounted aud the dresses bright and fresh,
though they were full of dcciously absurd anacb-
ronsms. LiORellO and Piupkct wore no Neapolitan
fishers caps and Martha dressed III IA

however. was easily prominent, for the va
rious garments which composed his costume COW

with earnestness and acted with vivacity, bat he
changed the "NAppari" from an aria to dra-

last scene oi the third act. Del Puente was manly
and vigorous Panket, and Signor Corsini was the
Tristan. Signor Arditi did admirable work with his
orchestra, and the chorus was unusually good.

LOST 0PPORTENLTY.

Democratic Representatives., as they reach
Washington, are met with wall OF agony aud
an Outcry of reprOach. BY more than half The
journals Of that party, the responsibility Tor It's
recent defeat is laid ut the door OF the Demo
cratic Congress. Some of these journals speak
bluntly and passonately. "The party lIOm-
sed a great many things" they say; "what
one OF them has its Congress done or tried 10
"do?" II promised refOIn; what has Congress
reformed? 1t promised none ary changes a
Democratic Congress has done nothing and the
marvellous prosperity which the country enjoys
has come because Congress did nothing. OBJ
serving these things, and cOnfessng with grief
and shame that the Democratic Congress has
not kept nor made any effort TO keep the
hedges made by the Democratic party, these
journals also perceive that public dIstrust and
disgust caused the recent decisive defeat II
the party is to have any chance whatever to
recover ITSELF they say let its Congress begin
this very week to do some of the things which
have been promised so long.
This line of remark Republicans can conscien
tiously commend There is much truth in it
truth told by Republicans day after day for
wears. Democrats would not believe it then
perhaps they may, now that high Democratic
authority makes the statement Then the
journals which are particularly conspicuous in
this criticism we've accustomed TO repel it with
fury or scoIn: it was utterly false, we were
told. that the Democrats had failed to keep any
pledges or neglected any public interest. Stir
popular maiorltIes Tor the other party have
brought the blind Democratic leaders of the
blind to such senses as they have, and their
follow ers, who believed that the criticism was
false a month ago. may possibly believe that
it is true at last The Democratic Congress has
done its utmost to kill the Democratic party
that is beyond question. The difficulty is
that this valuable information has been i'm
parted by Democratic leaders and organs a
great deal too late.
he time to bring that party to realizing
sense of its duty was when it had power aud
was on trial. Then, had a Democratic Con-
eress acted with wisdom, or even with de-
cency. public confidence might have been re-
tanned, at least enough to avert defeat At that
time we labored earnestly 10 bring Democratic
members to sense OF their duty. 1t would be
for the advantage of the Republican party, we
frankly told them, for Congress to 90 on as it
had been going. But the country would suffer.
The formation of a respectable OppositiOn-a
party of principles and common SENSE would
be delayed. The Republicans were anxious to
