The World Moves.

How different would it have been
thirty-fve years ago; aye, before
half of that time had elapsed it would
have been impossible for "spy'' of
the Northern army to have stood up
on the stage of the Acadamy of Mu-
sic, winning right justly and gal
lantly the sympathy and applause of
an audience composed of many of
the best and most fashionable people
of Charleston. Verify, verify, do
times change and do men change
with them Consider the circum-
stances carefully for a moment.
The play is called Secret Service,
but in reality it is the history of
how Yankee spy went into the
Confederate camp at Richmond and
did them and there attempt to be-
tray the people whose hospitality he
was receiving and whose confidence
he had won. He was very gallant
and well-mannered spy, it is true,
and right nobly did he deport him
self in circumstances which taxed
the most imperative call upon higher
manhood, but none the less he was
a spy. And yet the audience at the
Acadamy of Music last night was
able to forget It's prejudices, its
allegiance, of thirtY-old years ago
so far that it applauded this person
till the house rang again, while it
hooted and even Kissed the discomf-
ture of the efforts of the Confed-
crate secret service mau, who did
nothing but his duty in attempting
to Illustrate the Vaccinations of his
gallant rival.
OF course, it is entirely right that
all this should be so; but it is never
theless a circumstance worthy to
be commented upon by persons
who care to reflect upon man and
things as they come and go. Charles
tonians have been accused of belong
ing to the Bourbons of the BourbOns.
They gave birth to all that should
have made Capt. Thorne's service
despicable, and now, even that that
cause is lost, and the men who foster
ed it are dead, they are supposed
still to cherish its faith more dearly
than all others. Yet Mr.. Douglas
received all the sympathy and more
than half of the applause at the
theater last night, while Mr..
Kirkland was awarded only that re
probation which gallery and pit
alike are ever ready to assign to the
villain of a play. 1t is a circum-
stance worthy of remark, too, that
Mr.. Kirkland is South Carolinian
by birth, a descendant of men who
were intensely Southern in their be-
liefs and sympathies; while Mr..
Douglas is but professional gentle
man, with whom his audience had |
had little if any previous acquain-
lance. When 'Dixie" was played |
by the orchestra, there was a burst |
of applause; when the first gray uni
form was seen, there was ripple of
in the house; when Gen.
promised to keep Capt.
Thorne in prison until the Confed-
crate armies marched into Washing
ton there was hand-clapping, not
lnmingled with laughter, but when
the spy retorted that that meant
for life the approba-
ion was not the less marked. All
Of this in Charleston and before a
Charleston audience. SO who will
low say that there is not New
south" and that the old City of
Charleston is not a part and parcel
If it charleston News and Cou-
Ter.
