LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE DRAMA.

GOttlOld's Company in 's The Oct0roOn.''
On Saturday evening Dion Boucicault' S
"Octoroon was presented in Fulton
opera house to large audience. The play
is something after the style of sUncle
Toms Cabin. The leadins character is
Salem !Seudder, Yankee, vino is overseer
of plantation. Mr.. j. n. Gotthold's i'm
personation of Scudder was very good
piece of acting. He has an easy, pleasing
manner upon the stage and his voice and
makeup were very natural. The villain
of the play is Jacob lie Clossey, and that
character was we'll played by Frank
Losce, who is good actor and a
handsome man. L. r. StOckwell is an ex-
cellent old man darkey and his personation
OF Uncle Pete was so true to nature that
while he stood upon the stage talking with
the real colored men, many persons in the
audience, thought that he also was a negro.
There has been no actor here for some
time in the "Old darkey" line who pos
sesses as much talent as Mr.. StOckwell, and
his efforts received the appreciation from
the audience which they deserved. Sid. S.
Hicks acted the character of Captain Rats,
the jolly steamboat captain, to perfection.
The other gentlemen who took prominent
characters were Charles Mason, rs George
Pyton, and II. S. Duffield, as Wnh-no-tee,
the Indian. Miss Florence ElmOre, as Zoe,
the Octoroon girl captivated the audience.
She is a good actress and pretty woman,
who possesses most charming manners.
Miss Rena Maeder pleasingly rendered the
character of Dora Sunnyside, as did Mrs.
Sarah A. Baker that of Mrs. Pyton. The
company throughout was strong, and the
play was given in a manner which evoked
the hearty applause of the large audience.
The scenery was very pretty, especially
that of the steamboat and the early morn
ing scene in the canebrakes. The troupe
of colored vocalists appeared several times
and sang many songs, each time they were
encored four times and their singing was
the best we have heard for long time by
colOred people.

grand juries have before commended.
The state Legislature does not make any
appropriation for this institution, although

Agreeably to circular recently issued by
Bishop O'Hara, a collection was taken up

pairing this result with former collections,
the amount in the 40 or. so churches in
the diocese, which extends over Susque-

THE FITZ JOHN PORTER CASE.
Lively Debate in Congress Expected.


The bill agreed upon by the House mill
Fitz John Porter is creating lively inter-
est among military men and members of
Congress. The bill restores him to the
rank of colonel, which he held in the regu-
lar army, rccites that great wrong and
injustice was done him through his trial
and conviction, and fixes $4,000 as the
sum to be paid him as arrearages. The
minority of the committee will present a re-
port, through Mr.. McCook, in favor of re-
storing General Porter, but without admit
ting that any injustice was done to him, and
that the facts, as understood at the time
and condition of the country, justified the
action taken. This indicates the extent to
which the Republicans are willing to go.
The debate OH the bill bids fair to excite
unusual interest. For the first time the
Confederate officers will be able to take
part in the debate and give their personal
experience as COnfederates without en-
barrassment. This is expected to be
one of the most interesting features of the
discussion, since there are a number of
Confederate officers in each house who
were either present in General POpe's or
General POrter's front or have made a care
full study of the situation from their own
records. General Garfield is expected to
lead the opposition to the bill. As men,
Der of the first court he intends to try to
vindicate it's action. He is somewhat
hampered by the fact that many of the
most important matters were discussed in
secret session, and as yet the obligation of
secrecy has not been removed, and he
does not feel sure that it would be right
for him to ignore the oath of secrecy. He
is now giving attention'to this question in
order to determine how far he can 90 in
his discussion of the deliberations Of the
court. The indications are strong that

Rev. Jack on Sir Walter Scott.

Rev. A. B. Jack, the popular Scotch
preacher and orator, whose sermons in this
city and recent lecture on " Robert Burns -
created such widespread popular interest
and constituted rare literary treats,
will deliver his equally famous lecture on
Sir Walter Scott in the First Reformed
church, this city, on next Friday evening.
Being a fellOw-cOuntryman of Scott, as
well as of Burns, and not less in sympathy
with his literary genius, a rich feast may
confidently be expected in the announced
lecture. As a poet and novelist Scott is a
subject of absorbing literary and personal
interest, and Rev. Jack is in all respect
qualified to treat it in taking manner.
