Detection of Wendell Phillips.

BosToN, Sept. 1.-THE Herald will
say: At the meeting of few of the
chief men of the Greenback party,
yesterday, it was said that Wendell
Phillips had decided that he would
no longer honestly support Butler for
Governor, OF for any other great
office, he having become convinced
that the General had been tempted
by their presence and had abandoned
the cause of The wOrkingmen and OF
the people, and had allied his politi-
cal fortunes with the money power.
A prominent Greenhack leader and
orator, Moody Roynton, confirms the
report of another Greenback deser-
ton, that of a gentleman once a can
didate on the same ticket with But
ler. Leading Greenbackers say the
attitude Of Phillips has made a pro-

"Our Boarding House."

One of the very finest comedy per-
formances ever given in this city,
was presented by the Leonard Grover
Comedy Company at the Opera
House last night. The company is
essentially what it processes to be, Il
comedy company. Mr.. Leonard
Grover must certainly feel compli-
mented at the extraordinary large
and fashionable audience that greeted
his first appearance here, when the
fact is taken into consideration that
it rained incessantly up to very late
hour of the evening and as a conse-
quence thu streets were not pleasant
for pedestrians. The Boarding
House" was great treat to all pres
ent. Leonard Grower, Sr. and
Leonard Grover. Jr., In their respet-
tive roles of Col. Elevator and Prof.
Gillipod, keeping the house
in one continuous roar of laugh
ter. For magnificent and
finely-drawn piece of character act
ing nothing could be better than
Floretti, the italian, which Grover,
Sr., personated with Elevator. Miss
May, as 1.-The Slavey," was in her
element, and is certainly the best
soubre,te that has hitherto appeared
in Butte. Miss Amelia Wright i'm
mediately impressed the audience as
a finished actress. The whole COM
pany were excellent, and as the en-
gagement here is limited to only
three nights more, and matinee on
Saturday, it is foregone conclusion
that the engagement will be a tinan-
cial success, as it is already most
pronounced one, artistically and
otherwise. Tonight Lispet, also by
Mr.. Grover, will be presented.

quarter of Canton. Latest advlces
say that thirteen houses were burned.
The British gunbOats Espoir and
Swift, are saffordlng protection to
Europeans.
PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE riot at Canton
was simply the work of some rOughs,
who thought they had vested right
In the fees for carrying the baggage
of new arrivals. Their fury at being
forbidden to board a steamer was in
creased by the accidental drowning
Of a c0mrade.
LONDON, Sept ia Hong Kong
correspondent says the foreign consuls
in Canton hauled down their flags
during the rioting, A hostile atti-
tude was displayed by the Chinese
against the Eur 'peans, but the affair
was unimportant politically.
The Times N leading article says
it is difficult to avoid the suspicion
that the Canton riot was directly
connected with the irritation caused
by French operations in Tonquin.
The time has arrived to secure more
etfectually British lives ana property
in China. The Chinese cam t be too
forcibly impressed with the truth
that ali foreigners are not French
men, and that the enormous interests
of England will be vigilantly pro-
tected. We can no longer postpone
reinforcement to our fleet in China.
There exists no reason to believe
tnat either France or China is III a
moud to invoke England's mediation.
The French have not reached the pre-
liminary stage of realizing the peril
ous course they have entere upon.
A Paris dispatch states that Il tele-
81 am to the French minister OF ma
rine says it is untrue that the Chinese
are fortifying the approaches to Can
ton. They are only building bar
racks for the troops ordered there,
The Chinese regulars have not made
single step further towards the
| Tonquin frontier. THIS information
tends to confirm the view OF those
who consider the situation Of a pa
! citic character.
