THE STATE CAPITAL. Tho Fight Over thé Railroad and Warehouse Nomi- ' nations Waxing ‘Warm. Numerous Petilions Relative to Tem- perance Prosented in Both Houses. The Cook County Delinquent Tax Matter Again Up fn tho House. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, THOE RAILROAD AND WATENOUSE NOMINEES. SpinariELD, Feb, 7.—Tho divarication in tho Ropublican party on account of the proposed Railrond Board s tho result of jenlousy, in & great measure. Tho dofeated candidatos folt bad, and their friends, tho politicians, went to work to cronto™n row, snd succocdod to tholr hoart's content. Thoy desira to Lave another whack at it, snd nro working with Benators to dofoht conflrmation. Tharo ia vory littlo doubt that thoy will succeod. Palmor recolved instruc- tions yostordsy from Iroquois, and Pattorson, Jacobs, and Groen this morning from tho Froe- port Farmers' Convention. Btrong will nover voto for n commission, unlees his formor partnor, Morgan, ia ono, and thero are threo or fourothors who will tako tho eamo: shoot. Stillwell and Robinson will not bo accepted, and it would not bo surprising if thoy haulod off, Thon tho farmers and politiciannsyill go to work agein, Tho farmors can_NEreg upon o particular porson, They were divided on Buell and Flegg, and moen who votod in public meotings to indorse Buell <waited privately upon tho Governor end boggod Do should not be sppointed, Thoy would not bo responeiblo for Mr. Buell. Flngfi had frionds and enomios too, As manydidu't want him 88 dqid. Thon ho was covsidored too woll off I.?' gomo who wantod a man without o necldio, with cowhide-boots, and who had no viewswider than a ton-ncro ficld, Had Abrabum, Isaso, and Jacob, oil practical farmers, hoon nominated, thoy would' have boon objected to for farme ing’ moro than n quartor _scction, Tho politicians. manipulate tho Farmors' Clubs Jor thoir own purposes, nod much of the opposition is fostored hy thoso who dosira tho ugom!un of tho Board in tho intorost of the corporations. The opposition of Alr. Scammon's paper I8 caused by disappointment. It was understood that Mr, Scammon hed hankeringa after ono of the places, but, connidering his insuranco record, the Governor could not think ot it for a momont, and did not sk his advico. This was o mortal insult, aud honce tho Dypmfl- tion. Tho Journal hus lost its power to Injure McCre, for to-day he standa bottor than Biill woll or Robinson, and will in tho ond bo cons firmed. In the menntimo tho fight thickons, and the triumph of the politiclana grows moro cor- tain. They swarm round tho Govoruor now like fios round a saucer of honoy, and worry him out of his wits, 80 that ho can hardly know whero ho Stands, 1in caso Stillwell withdraws, tho farmers must concentrate upon some one, of fhoir own. volition, and mot pormit tho wiro- puliors to misreprosent their wishes and got now nominoes moro objectionable to thom than thoso rojected. Itis not at all probable that Afr, Morgen will be appointed anyway, a8 the Governor concetves he has good” reasous for choosing somebody else. + AN OLD ETORY. Mr. Lomma proposod that Cook County should Sny £129,024.28, which ho nlloged was duo tho tato on the nemessment of 1869, the Board of Tqualization having raised the assessment 24 per cont, which tho County Clork refused to ex- Tond, o desired tho Judiclary Committeo to roport a bill to thateffect. It passod unanimous- 1y, whon Messrs. Rountreo and Bradwell jumped 10 their foot and moved a reconsideration, which provailed, on an agrecment to makoita special ordor two weeks henco. This same proposition was in the last Assembly. BTATE OF DUSINESS, The House rofused to limit tho time for tho introduction of bills to March 1, and also declin- ed to put tho brake on the numberof resolutions that may bo prosented. BTATE ENTOMOLOGIST. Dr, Hawloy, of Aurors, is onthe ground, n candidato for Atate Entomologist, in thio placa of 1'r. Lo Barren, whoso head is domanded. < THE LIQUOR LAV, Petitions havo boon prosented for and against tho Liquor law. The country desires the luw to bo made more stringent, while the cities desire its abolition or modification. Such is the tono of the petitions. Quincy sent o document gov- cral yords in longth against the low, and so did Ohicngo and other citics. Botwoen the tyo the Jaw will be apt to atand as it is, its frionds op- posing any chango, and itsenomies being too fow to harm it. g ONICAGO MATTERS. Tho reorganization of the City Governmont of Chicago will bo fully diecussed on Wednesday, when Mr. Sherman's proposition to abolish Boards and havo one man at tho head of each Department, and the l‘:ropesud oxtinguishing of tuo Polica Bonrd, will como up us tho special ordor. SMORING AND CHEWING, ? Tho Houeo abolished smukin§ in tho Hallat any timo, and to-dny another reformer moved to remova the epiticons so tiat chowing tobaceo might bo stoppod. Spittoous wou and the ear- pet was saved.

It was adopted. A FREE PRESS. Mr. Burke dosired the Judiciary Committeo to Inquire what legislation wus necesaary to pra- tect newspapors from melicious prosecution for oriticising public men, Mr. Oborly advocated the possago of the rosolution. Ho had run risks #s & public journnlist and desired immunity whon he made statoments ho knew to be true about public men, Mr., Bradwell made an agri= cultural s&much, tolling tho farmers how deeply they would bo Intorestad in tho mattor when they wroto Jottora againat railroads. ‘The power to punish for libal and contompt was ‘‘tho only simon puro rolio of barbariem in Illinois. Mr. Cossidy wished it understood that the farmers and tho Farmors’ Club had nothing to do with it. Mr. Horrington supposed tho rosolution was in- troduced to provent the publication of the erift~ clem of farmors on the Governor for his railrond sppointments. Mr. Connolly said farmers nover msked for the clags legislution somobody pocmed to dosie for the pross in this case. Ilo imagined the press was able to take caro of itselt, end was amply protectod un- der the Constituiion, Ho did not undoratand tho prons desired such legislation. It wos moro powerful than lefilalntorfl, Sonators, or any ono ©olso. The press desired to publish nothing un- true, Mr, Dunham followed in tho samo atrain, Mr. Lano moved to amond so that Courts and individuals should bo bottor protected. After much buncombe, tho amondmont and o motion 10 table woro lost, the latter by 83 to 42, and the rosolution was adopted—70 to 47, THE COPYING OTANGES.

The mansgomont, however, not to dleappoint the publio, substituted ““Don Gio- vonni,” which to musiclans was a pleasant chango, and to the general audienco was oqually aceoptablo, aa the threo prima donnas woro atiil in tho oast, which was ns follows: Donna Anna, Miss Kollogg ; Donna Elvira, Lovoille; Zerlina, Lucen; Don Glovanni, Moriamo; Don Ollavio, Vizzani; ZLeporello, Jamet; Aasello, Ronconl. To say that tho thontro was orowded conveys no idon of the sudlonco in attondance. Not ouly was ovory soat in the house filled, but the alslos woro filled with camp-stools, Tho lobbles wero packod nimost to suffocation, 'Tho stairs woro crowded. Tho secoud bulcony was filled to overflowing, pooplo etanding even on tho Dacka of bonchies.

Novor bofoxo has an opora boen givon hero whon every artist upon tho stago laborad more faithfully to make it n suc- coss. 'Tho rosult was tho best porformance of #Don Giovanni " over heard in Chicago, Of all oporag, this great work of Mozarl'’s has had to guffer moro than ény othor, Every.troupe which has boon hero, with tho excoption of the English,—and Parepa onco had serioua inton- tions of trying it in English,—hns nttompted to do it and mado o failuroof it.

TFor such a porformance groat credit is due both to tho artists and tho managoment, nnd Marotzok may ot it down as & very proud and a1l fonther in his eap. Tho role of Zerlina gave ua Lucen in o light, coquettish T}nn, and hor yoraatility was thown in the fact that she made it fully aé intoresting as tho more scrious pud tragic roles of Leonora and Marguerite. Tho humer of tho part was brotht out in s mmost pmvo!dngl Dbowiteh ng maunor, cepocinlly in tho ¢ Battl, Batth geone with Masetlo, which was irresistiblo in {ts naiveto and srchnoss, Tho arin was bonutifully sung, Bubsoquently, in the * Vedrai Carino,"” sho nohioved a still groater triumpl, both by hor suporb vocalism and the goneral humor of ler by-play, and receivod a tumultuous oncore.

'Tho versatility of her wondorful dramatio talent which cangrasp at onco tho Leonoras of tragedy, an the Zerlinas of comedy is by no means tho loast remarkabla foaturo of hor fimnt ability, It Is nimost unnecossary to speak of her vocalism, ho is ossentinlly o _grent dramatic singor, and sho makes her vocalism a part of the dramatic ropresontation. Sho literally ncts with her voico, and combines the two in such oxquisite roportion thnt ono nevor outweighs the othor, ut both join to make the picture harmonions and comploto, Donna Anna is a heavy charac- ter in nction for Kelloggz, who ncods somothing loss sombro aud funoresl than tho poripatetic woman in _black, forover travorsing tho stage in company with thous two othor ravens, Don Otlavio and Donna Elvira, rohearsing hor Don Giovannio woes.
