THE OPERA HOUSE ROfBED.
Burglars Operating at Fulton Hal;

Some time during last night Fulton
opera house was entered by thieves, who,
instead of paying for their admission as is
customary, broke the transom over the
Water street door and crawled in. They
then entered the main hall and went out
Of that through one of the small doors on
either side of the main door, passing into
the aisle which leads towards
Spangler's saloon. Here they opened
door and descended into the cellar,
at the northern end. They then went up
the private stairway leading to the office,
into which they effected an entrance by
forcing the door open. They must have

with Il chisel broke open the upper door of
the secretary. In it was S12 in money,
which they carried off. The key which

which the secretary is also fits

thieves took it and unlocked the box

They also unlocked small box in which
the opera glasses arc kept, but disturbed
nothing. They opened the clock and

when he left tho Office at 10
o'clock the clock was running and every
thing was safe. After making thoroug h
search the thieves are supposed to have
left the building by passing through the
door leading from the office to the inner
vestibule, thence into the main hall. They
did not crawl out over the transom, but
unlocked the door.
1t is not known by whom the theft was
committed, but it certainly was by some
one we'll acquainted with the premises, as
they knew exactly how to 80 through the
building. Officer Wcitzel passed down
Water street this morning and he noticed
that the door next to Spangler's was open,
but believed that Mr.. Rinchart, the .jani-
tor, was in the hall. 1t was very lucky for
Mr.. Yecksr that lie did not have much
money in the building, Or it would all
have been taken, as the thieves did not
seem to want anything but "capital."

THE Philadelphia 1naericau ,conceding
that the Southern Democracy contains
the elements which are of the best prom
Use for the country, deplores the policy
which threatens to ALLEVIATE numbers from
the guidance Of intelligence and moral
principle, and in the Republican-Repudi-
alton success apprehends that the negroes
may become the material for any dema-
gogue who can promise them political
equality and fair treatment. AS soon
as any Malone can bring over enough
white men TO give the black men the
strength Of self confidence, there will be
an alliance of ignorance and lack of
principle all along the line" 1t can hard
ly be, however, that anything which
proves wedge to split the solid South
will not act in like manner upon the Re-
publican North. The spectacle which
Virginia politics afford will have a ten
dency to make Democratic votes every
where. When Virginia is lost to the
Democrats New York becomes more
hopeful; North Carolina rendered un-
certain makes Ohio more uncertain, and
when Georgia becomes Republican Penn
sylvania will lie Democratic.

UNDERGROUND VENTILATION.
A Long Line Of Air lions
on the 27OO of ComstOck.

In the mines toward the northend Of the
Comstock work is in progress at various
points which will presently result in the
completion Of N air gallery Of great length
on the 2700 level, says the Enterprise.
The great air gallery, with its many shaft
and Wine connections, will be the next
thing to establishing a new surface 2,700
feet below the natural surface OF the
ground. Much of the work now being
done, and which probably has nc meaning
to many persons, is but a part Of the great
system Of ventilation now being worked.
AS it now stands 1t is a piece here and a
piece there, but soon all these sections Of
drifts will be united, and the result will
be a grand air gallery OF great extent. As
the Sutro Tunnel furnishes a base for q
new departure in handling the water, so
this will supply a new base for ventilation.
Not only will this gallery be useful for
ventilation, but also for many other pur-
poses. 1t will make it possible to econom-
ically open out a vast amount OF ground
that up to the present time has been left
untouched. In connection with the sue
ton fans there will be procured a c~ircula-
ton OF air which will render the present
lower levels more comfortable than were
many Of our mines at the depth OF from
800 to 200 feet.
