WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Leading Democrats
from every section OF the country whom
nave talked with here are beginning to be
very apprehensive lest the third term con-
spirators may induce the Republican Legls-
iature OF New York to change the law 80 as
require the presidential electors to be ap-
pointed by the Legislature They say that
by no other means can the third term CON
pirators hope to accomplish Grants election.

will he overwhelmingly defeated. Tue Ger
man Republicans, according To good informa-
ton, are decidedly opposed to the third term
conspiracy, and from every quarter there
come ttdiuKs OF opposition to Grant on the
part OF hitherto stalwart Republicans
have been surprised OF late at the very
general denunciation by Democrats of Tam
many's treachery to the Democratic party
last fall. Men who hitherto have been in
different as To the results Of the fight or Tam
many against Tilden, now curse John Kelly
aud Thmmany Ia the rOundest terms They
say that the evidence grows stronger every
day that there WAS previous understanding
between Kelly and Conkltng, and that the
contradicted statement In the Sun OF Tuesday
last, that the Republican Committee In Brook
Iyn furnished John Kelly with $1,000 To help
pay the expenses OF the boltiug campaign,
has created n profound sensation. There was
plenty OF circumstantial evidence of the bar
gala between Kelly and the Grant n 4publi-
cans, but this was the first direct and positive
proof Of 1t. And now when You hear Demo
crafts talking about the probability OF the
thiHty-fve electoral votes Of New York being

OF that State, they say: "And this } ohn Kelly

ADJUSTMENTS.
Grand Opera House.

We haye heard twice yesterday La File de
Madame Angot, by the Maurice Grau French
Opera Company. It was performed at the
matinee and at night. There was smaller
audience at the matinee, but the singers were
fresher and sang better than at night, par
ticularly Cgpoul, who showed even then
signs of hoarseness, but nevertheless sang
beautifully. and had to send In excuses at
night for any deficiencies. The fact is. he was
much more conservative. II we may use the
term at the night performance than at the
matinee, and attempted none OF those enchant-
Ing plays OF vocalization for which he Is world
renowned Nevertheless, he gave proof of ex-
fraordinary talent, ana sang the part OF Ange
Pitou as We have never heard IT sung before;
In fact he sang as nobody has done here sinee
Michaud. We have no doubt he can do bet
ter, for he was evidently suffering from
hoarseness OF voice caused by sudden
change OF temperature, and 1t required
all his talent to do as we'll and bring down
applause whenever the score gave him q
chance. We have heard much OF Capoul and
have listened to him In his palmy days. We
will not, therefore, venture, after such an in
PERMISSION Of years and under such unfavor-
able circumstances. to say anything about his
performance yesterday, sa We that he Is most
accomplished musician, an actor full of intel
ligeRce and grace. and uses the sweetest voice
hoarseness last night, he accomplished
many remarkable feats. He sang with un-
precedented taste the ceItainement Jaime
Clairette," and all of his scene with lille.
IGnge was admirably rendered. He has q
way of passing from the chest notes to the
s.notes de- tete" which is triumphant, and his
sustained notes given in subdued way are
miracles os siiaessa' and expression.
PaoIO- Marie as Ciaireite has many strong
points. she possess es cantralto and mezz1-
soprano notes Of the highest order, and uses
them To perfection. She Is Ingenious, as her
role requires, at times, and when she launches
forth In the sAtsavaganzas Of the bouffe, re-
minds lis III Aimee in her best moments. We
will walt for next hearing to speak more
len0thily about her. Meanwhile, let us say
that she makes very good Ciairette and will
be perfect B0tfofte.
