LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.
THE NEW OPERA.
10 me Ediior.


Your discriminating comments upon the
debut of "Desrco" must meet with general
concurrence in the minds of all who read
them. And, while agreeing almost wholly
with you, / wish to add the romark that this
creation of our Washingtonians has had about
the severest test that an opera could well bo
subjected to-
In the first place, Messrs. sousa and Taber
are charged with 'the atrocious crime of being
young mon;" but like the famous author of
that sarcastic speech, each of these young
men will doubtless content himself with
wishing that he may be one Of those whose
follies may cease with their youth, and not of
that number who are ignorant in spite OF OK
perience."
In the next place, musician OF writer
stonds at his own home very much as the
Now Testament says of the prophet: "A
prophet is not without honor, save in his
own country and in his own home"
In the third place, the initial presentation
of tho opera to tho public was at very late
day in the warm season, when, as rule,
people are disincined to attend amusements
in inclosed buildings.
In addition to these three matters De-
siree" was brought into competition with tho
ever-popular Theodore Thomas and other at
fractions, which were calculated to divide or
detract from public interest in the debut OF
the fair Desiree."
Yet, Notwithstanding all drawbacks, there
were demonstrations of delight and unmis-
takably spontaneous and unrestrainod out
bursts of applause, which gave evidence of
positive appreciation of the achievements of
the composer and tho librettist. All this, too,
from large audience predisposed to be
critical almost to the extreme.
Surely, Messrs. Sousa and Taber may justly
feel encouraged and Manager McCaull is not
likely to regret his venture, nor to retract
any of the fair things he has said about the
good qualities OF this first American opera"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mayo, 1884.
ATTENTION, SOLDIERS, coNdREssMEN.
10 The EdLlnr

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Why is it that moro
republican members do not attend the Friday
night sessions of the house set apart for the
consideration of peusions2 The democrats
might bo expected to remain away, or attend
for the purpose of defeating pension legisla-
tion. But it is fact, to the shame Of repub-
lican members, that the democrats more
largely attend these Friday night sessions
than do the republican members. And those
democrats who do attend are mostly liberal
in their action toward the soldiers. Is it
possible that republicans love the soldier
during election times. and forget him when
the house of representatives has session for
the consideration of his claims?
1t is suggested that the eS-soldiers of the
country examine tho Congressional Record
every Saturday in order, to see who of their
representatives attend these Friday night
sessions and take an interest in pension
bills" 1t would bo good idea to have tho
Record on hand, and when one of these elec-
tion time patriots comes around for re-elec-
tion read it on him, and ask for an explana-
ton of his absence at Friday night sessions.

IT is AN EVENING SMELL.

The smelling committee of tho city author
ities visited the alley running by the govern
ment printing office the other day, but doubt
if they discovered aught amiss. Allow me to
suggest that they visit that locality during
one of these pleasant evenings after the
currents created by passing vehicles have
subsded. Those of tho compositors who
were obliged to work on the south of the
building last Monday evening were COM
PEELED to close the windows and
work o in close rooms, each with
over hundred gaslights going, on
account of the gas from the sewer and tho
odors from ill-kept stables and back yards.
Tho health of a great many persons, em-
ployes Of this great workshop, who cannot
afford the loss of time and money which must
result from sickness is endangered. The
case demands the earliest attention of the
health authorities. Let them mako one
evening visit aud be convinced. VERITAs.

The DetentIve Cnnns-

District Attorney Worthiugton in the
criminal court last Saturday brought to the
attention of Judge Wylie the fact that the
demurrers entered in certain of tho ex.de-
tective cases had been set for hearing that
morning. He said that no had expected ex-
Gov. Wells, tho special counsel who had
prepared the cases, to assist him in present-
Ing the argument to the court, but Mr.. Wells
had informed him that his engagement had
been Cancelled by the attorney general, and
his connection, therefore, with the cases had
ceased. In consequence of this unexpected

THE CASE OF CARROLL VS.. CARROLL.
10 The Et[uOr

The decision of Judge Cox in tho case of
Carroll VS.. Carroll has been reported incor-
rectly. The testimony was not submitted
and the case was not decided upon its merits.
Tho only question considered was whether
the bill was correct in praying the court to
declare the marriage null and void on the
ground OF fraud, and Judge Cox decided that
it was not but that tho bill should have
prayed divorce under the provisions of tho
statutes regulating divorces in this district.
The bill was, therefore, dismissed without
prejudice" thus allowing Mr.. Carroll the
privilege of bringing another action.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION

The Republican Congressional commit
tee of the Third District met at 60 Canal
street, New Orleans. last Monday, pur-
suant to the Gull Of Chairman Fontelieu,
and adopted resolutions designating
Plaquemine as the place and the 23rd of
September as the date for holding the
Congressional nominating convention;
fixing the representation of the several
parishes the same as in the convention of
1882, except Lafayette, which will be en-
titled to two delegates instead OF one; re-
curing the election Of delegates to be
held on the 18th of September in each par
ish; ratifying the nomination of Blaine
and Logan and endorsing the course of
Hon. VIM. P. Kellogg in Congress.
From the sentiment exhibited by the
members Of tbs committee and at large
gathering of Third District Republicans
in Collector Drury's office Monday even
ing, we incline to the belief that there will
be no serious opposition to Congressman
Kellogg''s denomination when the conven-
ton meets.

II o'clock last Wednesday forenoon, col
ored youth named Robert Johnson, en-
ployed at the Peep-o'- Day Hotel in this
town, was drowned while bathing in the
river just below the Leblanc saw-fniil. Sew
eral lads were in the water with Johnson
at the time of his death. and were so badly
frightened by the accident that they ran
screaming from the scene. leaving their
companion to his fate. The body was re-
covered about clock i'll the afternoon
and was buried the following day, after an
inquest lad been held by Deputy Coroner
Thibaut. Johnson was said to be q years,
though seemingly several years younger.
His father and mother are both laborers,
living in the rear portion of Donaldsonyile
and employed on the Peytavin plantation
Just below town. This is the second acci1
dent of this character that has occurred
here within the past few weeks, and it
ought to prove a warning to boys to be ex-
tremely careful how and where they ven
ture into the treacherops depths of the
Mississippi.
