ADJUSTMENTS. A

1.-THE Galley Slave" Mt the Grand
opera House.
"The Galley Slave," which will be
presented by the authors own company,
at the Grand Opera House, next Mon.
day evening, is now having fine run in
Philadelphia. The Erening Bulletin
says:
Miss Maud Granger gave a forcible
presentation OF the character OF the young
American helress, Cicely Blaine. She
drew the part carefully, she neglected
none of the delicate touches that are
necessary to make of IL the picture that
the author intended, and the result was
that Cicely Blaine stood out as charm
ing example of noble, passionate girl,
who while loving msdly, yet bad the
courage to stand firmly In the strength
OF her own horror. Miss Gussie de For
rest scarcely less successful In her por
trayal of the character OF Francesca. She
gave 1t all the fire of a Southern nature
first the deep and consuming love OF
the devmed woman, and finally the re-
venge of the wTonged and injured wife.
Mr.. Frank Evans was a manly, fine
looking representative OF Sidney Nor
colt, the galley slave, and was quite as
much st home in the tender love scenes
as In the more dramatic portions of the
play. Baron De Bois was well played
by Mr.. Charles e. Maubury who dressed
the part with excellent taste, and acted
the French villain with much more sue
cess than Is usual. The comedy parts
were we'll taken, and the drama was
beautifully mounted.

Nick Roberts will on Saturday night,

years ago Mr.. Roberts advertised band
of Minstrels containing 40 performers,
which was the first indication of such an
enterprise. The present season he offers
as q special feature, 40 clowns with bis
United States Minstresl, which are to be
seen with his Humpty Dumpty show an

The general run OF criticism In regard to the
Utah election case is that Gov. Murray acted
arbitrarily In assuming to decide which OF the
candidates had been elected. Even those who
seek TO sustain the governors action do not %
so far as TO maintain that under any iaS he had
authority TO go behind the election returns and
determine the contest. Oas view or the matter
that Is quite common is In effect that while a
wrong. or at least something not entirely right,
has been done. good may possibly come OF
III; that though Gov. Murray exceeded his au
thority the result OF bis act will force Congress
10 take cosnZance OF the Mormon question.
and may lead TO legislation for the suppression
OF polygamy. This Is mistaken view OF the
subject. There Will be no necessity for Con-
gress to go into the Mormon question, In order
TO determine Mr.. Campbells right to his seat.
In the event Mr.. Cannon shall contest. The
question will be substantially the same as that
involved In the former contest against the Sit
ting delegate. The committee on elections viii
have TO make Inquiries as TO the naturalization
OF the present delegate, and the record prove
his citizenship that question will. then be SET
tied. AS TO the allegation Of polygamy. that
must be decided under existing law which only
dlSfranchiseS those persons who have been con.
Victed OF that otiense. How anybody can ex-
pect great test case TO be made of this election
question Is beyond conception, In view of the
law and the facts.

The District code, as reported back by the
Senate committee, does not contain any amend
mentS calculated TO meet with any decided OPP
position In the House unless, perhaps, the one
In relation to the selection of policemen from
discharged soldiers and sailors be excepted.
Therefore. there IS no reason, apparent, why
any conflict In the two houses should arise In
the final passage OF the code. The Senate CON-
mittee have, as rule liberalzed the code in
Its provisions governing or regulating business
affairs. In other words they have en-
deayored TO make the hand of law touch
as lightly upon business, In all its branches,
as is consistent with proper considerations
OF revenue and protection. For instance. the
Senate committee struck out the section fixing
commissions TO be charged by auctioneers,
leaving that to be regulated by that line
OF business. When the code was under
consideration. Senator Harris expressed him
self IN FAVOR OF allowing the people of the
District as much liberty In the management OF
their affairs IS was practicable, and this view
has evidently obtained with the committed
Provisions that might have been made to bear
heavily upon or interfere with the affairs of
trade or business have either been stricken out
or modified TIE section regulating nu ior
licenses is substantially unchanged One Sec
ton relating TO the police, as It came from the
bDdt at least SSTelCy-UFe
cent of all appointments made to the police
force VI til January LIST, 1851, Shall be from per-
sons who served In the army CT navy OF the
United States In the late war and were honor
ably discharged" The Senate committee very
properly struck this out, leaving the
code without any restrictions In regard
TO selections for the police force. For
several years past the District Commits
sioners have been earnestly appealing to Con-
gress TO repeal the existing law requiring the
ex-soldiers and sailors to be given the prefer
ence as policemen. The Commissioners de-
clare that the restriction limits them to too
small a field to enable them to make up police
force OF active, healthy and vigorous men; that
the average soldier OF the rebellion Is now
growing too old to make a good policeman.
The Senate, at the last session OF Congress,
passed repeating enactment, but 1t was de-
feated IN the House. Should the House insist
upon retaining the seventy-fiye per cent
clause IN the code. the Senate viii no doubt
yield the point. preferring not to make any
fight upon IL at this late day In the session.
OF course, the prospect of the final passage OF
the code is not altogether nattering. but as the
District committees OF both houses intend to
make special efforts to push 1t through, It's
chances are fair.
