National Theatre,

Both in the afternoon and evening ycsteI
day the National Theatre was literally packed.
Even tho Hislcs were filed and standing room
was at II premium. "The Two Orphans"
Miss Claxton's piece de resistance, was the at
traction, and it is not too much to say that,
taken as whole, the play has never been
rendered in mOIe satisfactory manner. Miss
Caxtons Interpretation of the unfortunate
Louise is as perfect rs of yore, as full
of thrilling pathos and soulharrowing grief
and misery; from first TO last she wraps
around her the attention Of her audi
ence aud the interest in the fate of the
blind girl is kept almost painfully alive, even
when she herself Is not on the scene. Miss
Batchclder gave us u very excellent picture of
Hrlrieite, and was especially strong in the last
act. The Characterization of Marian by Miss
Cone though quite acceptable, was not as
strong rs should be, though allowance must DO
made for tho fact that the young lady Is com.
paratively novice to the boards Mr.. Steven
son assumed the dual parts of Pierre and
De Fd,drey. and was particularly good in the
former character. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the excellent portrayal Of
jacques by Mr.. Fyhe. He invests the charac-
tor with an ingenious, tantalizing deviliHhncss
which makes the scoundrel's brutality doubly
repulsive and gives by far the best picture Of
that villain ever presented to our knowledge.
Miss Eldridge was very good as La FrOchdrd

an insolent, sef.3atistied and thoroughly COR
rupt valet. The play will be repeated this

TIE MODESTO DISTURBANCE.

1t appears that there are some very high
strung Democrats at Modesto, and that the
other night they took such offense at the
playing OF band, which had been sta
toned to welcome President Hayes that
one of their number, Mr.. Turner, could
not contain himself, but declared that
thereafter no Republican meeting should
ever be held there undisturbed. Now,
while the Republicans of Modesto could
not be justified in interrupting Demo-
cratic meeting, it does not appear that
they really attempted to do anything OF
the kind. but that since President Hayes
was coming, it was necessary to welcome
him when he came, or not at all Some
thing, no doubt, must be pardoned to the
heat of a campaign conducted with more
than usual acrimony, bat all threats of dis
turbing meetings are equally foolish and
impolitic, coming from either side. We
are not in the solid South here, and Cali
iornians will not put up with the political
methods of that region, and those who
think differently are very sure to discover
their error before they have gone far with
their experiments

THE NEWS ABOUT vIcroR1o.

A dispatch from Mexico yesterday init.
mated that Vietorio and his band had been
surrounded and destroyed by party of
Mexican soldiers few days ago. If. as
alleged, the redoubtable chief had previ-
ously exhausted his ammunition, this story
may be true. But on any other hypothesis
it is doubtful, since Victorio has for full
wear baffled all the United States troops
sent in pursuit of him, and has repeatedly
escaped the most elaborate plans for his
capture and destruction. That he should
succumb after so long and successful a
campaign, to party of Mexican soldiers
appears well nigh Incredible, and we shall
certainly require some further confirma-
ton of the intelligence before accepting it.

THE NEW YORK MAYoRALTY.

Tammany and Irving Hall have at last
harmonized upon candidate for the May.
orally, and have put in nomination w. r.
Grace, wealthy shipping merchant. The
fact that he is Roman Catholic, added to
the known circumstance that John Kelly,
who made the selection, is plant tool OF
the New York Catholic priesthood, has
necessarily created a great deal of criticism.
The Herald, which is not to be suspected
of Republican leanings, condemns the
nomination in strong terms, and accuses
Kelly of willful stupidity and blindness,
In making choice which is certain to drag
religious prejudice into the contest. 1t is
scarcely necessary to point out that the
question of Roman Catholic influence in
politics and local government is a very
serious one in New York, and that there
fore this nomination must arouse appre.
hension and excite prejudice in many quar-
tiers. 1t is perhaps useless to imagine the
possibility of any detection from the DEM
ocratic vote on this account, unless it be
from the German Democrats. The habit
of voting the straight ticket is very
strong, and when it comes to the
point it will probably be remembered that
even Catholic Mayor, so long as he is a
Democrat, promises better pickings than
any kind of Republican would afford
The Republicans, however, have it in their
power, by making first-rate nomination,
TO rally and consolidate all the interests
alarmed and menaced by the dangerous
growth of priestly influence ia municipal
affairs, and on the whole it would seem
that they have very encouraging pros
pect before them.

Let us suppose, to bring the national
situation home to ourselves, that an cleo.
ton for Governor of California was pend
ing, and that the Democrats had possessed
themselves of all the counties south of San
Francisco, and had by force and fraud
guaranteed to themselves majorities in
every one of those counties. Would the
voters of the northern counties be willing
to regard that state of things as legitimate
and normal? Would they consent to ig
more the methods employed to destroy ma
jority rule in all the southern counties,
Would they pass over this high.handed
usurpation, and agree to discuss the issues
which their opponents proposed? Assur-
edly not. They would say that before
anything else was thought Of it was neces-
sary to combine and rebuke the lawless
and un-American methods adopted by the
Democrats. They would perceive that
the very existence of republican institu-
tions was imperlled. They would unite in
GAlSIO A4luSb 10 AuA NOLC,
'ta free ballot, and fair count" as the
first and indispensable conditions of any
political action whatever. And We say
to our visitors here to-day, that this
is precisely the political situation in
the United States at the present
moment. The Solid South is not mere
league of lawful voters, combined for
ordinary political purposes. 1t partakes
in nothing of the characteristics of the
North. 1t is federation of usurpation,
the solidity of which signifies nothing less
than the suppression of the vote of the
colored Republicans. These colored Re-
publcans have been DISTINGUISHED by the
Democrats. Were they allowed to vote
there could be no solid South. The ma
jority of the Southern voters are not now,
and have not been since the rebellion,
Democratic in sympathy. But they have
been bulldozed and cheated shot out and
counted out and the North, after aban-
doning them to their prosecutors, now sees
their stolen votes turned against its own
life. The Solid South, moreover, is
fraud upon every Northern voter as well
as upon the negro. The Southern Demo-
Gratis hope to win by counting as their
own votes which they do not possess. The
country cannot afford to countenance this
monstrous wrong. Self-preservation CON-
pels it to rebuke the Mexican policy of the
Democracy. and every intelligent man from
Maine to California ought to be found on
the day of election contributing his ballot
to the censure and reputation of the
worst and most dangerous attack that has
been made since Sumter was fred upon,
on the fundamental principles of republi-
can government To the consideration of
this high question We invite the serious
attention of our guests to-day. May they
derive from this reunion encouragement.
and guidance to the faithful execution of
their duty as freemen and defenders of
Liberty

TIE RIVAL ORGANS

The New York World and the New
York San are rival Democratic journals,
and just now they have locked horns in a
quarrel which is tolerably sure to last dur
ing the remainder OF the campaign. and
which, like all such quarrels, is very apt to
result in the telling OF tales out of school.
The San is disguised with the outlook, and
does not hesitate to say what It thinks.
The Ford may be equally disguised, but
it is more loyal to the party, and so it
conceals its sentiments, and reproves its
neighbor sharply. The Sun appears to
have lost its head somewhat, and not to
know what it really wants, beyond the
relief of its surcharged feelings, but the
two Democratic organs no doubt entertain
very little affection for one another, and
are therefore likely to enliven the re.
manning portion of the canvass with their
mutual compliments. Truly it is pleasant
to see brethren dwelling together in unity.

A CURIOUS FREAK OF NATURE.

4 dispatch from Tucson, printed this
morning, states that Mexican woman liv-
ing in that city recently gave birth to an
infant which promised to rival the now
celebrated double woman, Mile Christine.
The child was born with two perfect
faces ON a single head, with four
ears. A double brain was suspected,
from the fact that it would cry
with one face while its other face was
wreathed in infantile smiles. One mouth
would take nourishment from the maternal
breast while the other was employed in
supplying the wants of the body from
a bottle. After enjoying good health
for twenty days, with fair pros
pect of living to see its name in large type
on yellow and red posters, this wonderful
curiosity died yesterday. Its death is
to be sincerely regretted, since, had it
lived, it would have been fully equipped
for that species of political firm. with one
