The Dramatic Festival.

Tho Cincinnati dramatic festival, which
does not seem to have reached quite that al
titude Of public importance which its pro-
.icctors had hoped for it. The list of actors
engaged includes tho names of several dis
tingulshed people, but not of all whose abili-
ties and success would seem to have made
their presence necessary to the complete ac-
held in view. Mccullough and Barrett are
there, but where are Keene and Warde2
They have Murdoch, too; but Murdoch is
little more than memory to this generation.
OF ladies prominent in the profession,
only Mary Anderson and Clara Morris
are in tho bills There is no trace
of Margaret Mathcr, nor of three or four
other artists who have been handsomely re-
ceivcd by tho best audiences in tho country
OF really contemporaneous comedians there
is but one, Mr.. N. c. Goodwin, and he is not
familiar as an interpreter Of the humor of
Shakespeare, The plays offered are simply
we'll cast, but. not greatly. The truth of the
matter is, tho affair was concocted for the
profit of Cincinnati manager, and in
cidentally for tho aggrandizement of
few tragic actors, none of whom are actually
great. 1t might have been expected to fall
fatty as to all appearances it has, so far as the
country at large is concerned. Locally it is a
gIa I'd success, of course. That waspreassured,
1t has monopolized attention in Cincinnati,
and the crowds in attendance are very large
Seats sold at high figures, and tho whole city
fell into the excitement of tho thing. But
away from Cincinnati it is scarce thought of.

Grease Spot Detectives.

The Chicago NeicS, after reviewing the fear
full Fenian plots which have been so freely
cabled about for few weeks past is in doubt
whether the people over tho water care tho
greater idiots or towards" That they are
thoroughly frightened is tho one thing that
shines clearly out Of tho confused mess Of
dispatches that are flashed at this country
from morning to morning; but just what it is
that is serving to keep up the scare is mat
ter Of the merest conjecture, unless II be the
working Of an uneasy national conscience,
or the desire of the English police to ex-
ploit themselves There is no disposition in
America to bclittle any real danger to the
peace of England, nor any, even the faintest,
to encourage incendiary effort or incendiary
threats against England by persons residing
in this country. O'Donovan Rosa and his
fellow bombasticians have been made to
understand this, not only by the American
press unanimously, but by their own coun-
trymen in America-made TO understand
it so distinctly that their mouths have
suddenly and tightly closed. But after all
the outcry that has been raised, nothing at
all has been actually shown to justify it.
There have been finds of dynamite in
London and elsewhere, but in only ono
instance, and then upon exceedingly doubtful
evidence has ownership in it or criminal in
tent connected with it been attached TO Irish
men or rish-Americans. And most of the
finds have been of a simply fictitious charac-
ter. That in Northampton, which was so
heralded few days ago, is n fair example of
the majority Of cases. In this case tho dis
patches twice stated on the same morning that
"a house in quiet suburb of Northampton
was rented some time ago by man judged
to be an American. He covered tho windows
with canvas His occupation was under
stood to be photography. He lately received
a box by rail and was known to be busy. He
eventually dispatched two suspicious-looking
boxes and decamped. The house was broken
into by the police There was no furnituroi in
the room, but many oil stains on the floor"
That was all there was Of it. There was
nothing discovered to show either that "the
man was an American, or that he made any
nitro-g -glycerine, or that if he was an American
he was IN sympathy with the Irish; or that if
ho was an American, in sympathy with the
Irish, his nitro-glyccrine, if he made any,
was intended to work damage to any English
city or building. If tho English detectives
are going to assume that nitro-glyccrine for
Fenian use has been made in every place
whore they can find grease spot, the cable
might as we'll give up all effort to follow or
chronicle their work. 1t is too silly.

Land Grant halfway Decision.

Judge Lawrence, first comptroller of the
treasury, rendered decision yesterday in
favor of the st. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
way company upon its claim for transporta-
tion of stationery on account of the United
States from st. Louis to the collector ofinter-
nal revenue AT Springfield, Mo. Thequestion
involved was whether or not land grant rail-
way companies are entitled to payment by
the government for transportation services
The act of June, 1852, making grant of pull
lie lands in aid of the ST. Louis and San Fran
cisco Railway company provides that this
railway "shall remain public highway for
the use of tho government Of the United
States free from toll or other charge upon tho
transportation of any property or troops of
the United States"
Judge Lawrence, however, holds that con-
gress having in subsequent acts made appro-
priations for the payment to land grant"
railways which had not received aid in gov
ernment bonds, of so per cent. of the full
amount due for the transportation services
contingent upon their written acceptance of
tho terms of the acts (Which imply relin-
quishment of further claims for compensa-
tion beyond the so per cent?, and the ST..
Louis and San Francisco company having
filed its acceptance with the first auditor of
tho treasury, that company Is entitled to
payment at the rate of 90 per cent. of the
full amount upon the basis Of the tariff rates
for like transportation performed for the
public at large.

Naval Changes,

Vice Admiral Stephen G. Rowan has asked
to be relieved from tho duties of superintend-
ent of the naval observatory; and Secretary
Chandler yesterday appointed Com. r. w,
Shuieldt to succeed him in that position,
Admiral Rowan will continue to serve as
chairman of the lighthouse board. Com.
Shufeldt will on tho sixth of this month be
promoted to be rear admiral, as on that
dato Rear Admiral Il. II. Colhoun will be
placed upon tho retired list having reached
the age of 81 years of age. This retirement,
together with that of Rear Admiral Niohol-
son, which occurred in March last, will leave
a vacancy in the rank Of rear admiral which
will be filled by the promotion of Com. Shu-
feldt. Com. Shufeldt has been president Of
the naval advisory board since its organiza-
tion, but some time ago it was about decided
to order him to command the navy yard at
Mare Island, but his designation as superin-
tendent of the naval observatory will render
it necessary to order another officer TO that
duty, which will be done very shortly. IL
has not yet been decided who will be selected.

this rather than any fortuitous interests Of
his own that he may be attempting to cover
which gives to the letter ofthe Duke of Argyle
q meaning and an interest highly unusual
and of the first importance.
Here at least is one thing for which the
common people of England have Ireland TO
thank. Without the protest generally en-
tered there against the abuse of their prlvi-
legos by tho owners of land in Ireland, this
agitation might not have come for many
years. 1t was the very measure against which
Argyle so vehemently protested two years
ago, that gave the movement in England tho
impetus under which it is moving to-day.
English children, who will live to see the
better state of things that will follow the
bloodless revolution now imminent, might
be very properly taught to thank the Irish
for the benefit they will have been enjoying.
