OF THE BERGERS,

The Burlington Hawkeye says:
II his troupe appeared before a
large aud cultivated audience last
night, which appreciated the en-
tertainment more highly than an
audience has done any troupe in
this city for q long time. Tears
don't always betoken sorrow. and
il last night our eyes were not as
dry as q miser's pocket we do not
wish it thought We were not, just
the same the happiest mortal then
in boots. Miss Eta Morgan plays
a Saxophone just as we always
dreamed that female angels would
alter that TRANSPORTATION which
takes away everything that is
earthly and leaves nothing but the
soul of music. II any one does
not believe that heaven is full of
Saxophones, we are ready to dis
cuss that matter at length next
week. Mr.. q. w. Brewster, the
great ventriloquist and humorist,
with his puppet family, and Chas.
Duncan, CHI tracter vOcalisG-had it
easy TO make men forget that
"stocks" ever get soft. The Ber-
gers military band, in elegant uni-
forms, Is the finest thing Of the
kind that has ever visited our city.
It is one of the chances of a lite-
time, and. the man or woman who
fail to atteud will be sick. W..
wish 10 draw especial attention to
tho ma rada Of the military hand
which forms such a strong outs
side feature OF ! the Ber-
gers Company this season. 1t con.
tains a peculiar and valuable
strength which no travelling band
ever had, each performer being Il
soloist on his particular instru-
ment. The band is supplied at
great expense, with gorgeous aud
attractive British military uniform,
and will be seen in parade on our
principal streets, on the day OF the
performance,

TIE square defeat OF join Kel>
ky for Ye>elccton to the comptroll>
~ ship OF New York city, was a
crushing surprise to that doughty
partisan, and one that will reach
tosp down into tho party ruts Of
chat party ridden city. We have
M regrets TO express at his defeat,
for he deserved it as just rcbnke
FOR his siisorganizing course and at
si;ade Of defiance to the majority of
his pxriy for two years past.
Mr.. Kelly destroyed. If he did not
aeli the strength oil New York, and
no must not now complain that
shere 10 no one to save him from the
common fate that he had SO much
10 de- with in bringing on others.
But for Mr.. Kellyss course. Gen.
Hancock would now be Presidents

instead Ut being broken down and

The Decision of the Caucus.

The senatorial contest was abrupt
ly terminated Thursday night of last
week by the election of Mr.. German
as the nominee of the Democratic
caucus, by vote of "a, against %
tor senator Whyte and for Wallis.
The holding of the caucus SO much
in advance of the time for the cleo
ton is very unusual, and shows that
the German party did not feel so Sc
cure in their arrangements that they
were willing to allow the public SEN
timent of Baltimore city to have a
chance to operate upon the members.
The new senator is a young man,
whose reputation as a party leader is
of recent growth, and whose present
success is due to the shrewdness with
which he connected Gov. Hamilton's
popularity with his own interests in
arranging the legislative primaries
throughout the State and in conduct.
ing the campaign. In the defeat of
Senator Whyte Baltimore loses a
faithful and able guardian of her in
terests in Congress, His successor is
credited with great business ability,
but his reputation as a statesman has
still to be made. The caucus also
elected Mr.. George Cotton as the
party nominee for Police Commits
sioner by 81 votes, against II for Mr..
Fusselbaugh, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Fusselbaugh was member of
the board whom the events of the
the election of 1875 disgracei in the
opinion of the people of Baltimore,
and he and his colleagues ought to
have been removed at the next meet
ing of the legislature. Mr.. Cotton,
who succeeds him, is, however, no
less a partisan and the change is a
change of persons, and not of ton Q
or policy. -BdLto. american.

revenues, showing the satisfactory
exhibit of S6,739 Y surplus in the

Legislature early action on the ques-

the present unproductive assets of
the State would be sufficient to can
Gel its Indebtedness. He fayors a
more equitable distribution of taxa
ton, a remodeling of the Appeal

made, by collectors and Comptroller
for the prompt payment of interest
