The char- actor of Lucia fs ono for which sho is well ada.ted, and her impersonation of it from tho frst mooting with Zdgardo, in tho signing of the woedding contract, in tho mad scone, and to tho finnl catastrophe, was carefully atudied and painstaging, 1n the sextoite Boena, more cpecially, the hopelessness with which sho signa tho contract, tho utter bewilderment with which abo 10gards the coutract as it is shown to hor by kdgardo, the stony responso in the afiirmative, tho suddon relapse Lo consciousness, and tho pnssionate appeal to Edgardo woro worked out with consummate histrionio abllity. 8ho was alro in excellent volco (however much Mme, Rouzeaud may differ from us in this to- spect), and thoro wia - ovident determination to muiko hor vocalization ns_well as_ber aetin tell with effect upon her audlonce, In this sho suecoedod more thorouzhly than she has done hoforo this, oxpzclnll{ in tho soxtotte, in which, although tho onkomble was effoctivo i all ro- apects, or telling voico produced s etorn of applause which™ was ‘not salisfied —until the artists had appesred twice before the cur- tnin, It ia to bo regretted that Capuul so Jato n o senson s begluning o givo s & smnplo of Lis real ealibro, 1iis Edgardo was one of the best piccos of dramatic singing wo have evor had upon our lyric stage, and o shared with tho prima donup the triumphs of the evening.

Tayloras Chairman, and A, F. Thompson as Becretary. Afr. Taylor, upon taking the Chair, nddiessod the mecting at somo length, stating fully il objects for whioh the meoting was called. Tho questions at 1gauo botwaen tha railrond managers and the people along the line of rond woro discussed by A, F. Thompson, R. K. Haw- ley, J. H, Matthews, W. L. Potco, and others,— showing up most conclusively tLe imposition practicod upoa them by the autlorities of the rond, Thoso points to which attention was called by tho vavious spenkers, and the substance of their remarks o8 a wholo, may be summed up in the tollowing statements : An appropriation of §100,000 was made by tho poople of Sangamon County to aid in tho con- struction of a railway, which waa then rep- resented as being for the purpose of sccuring s competing line, So far ns this appropriation was concerned, it affects only tho peoplo of Sangamon Coutity, the appropriation bieiug mago by e people of this county ; but doubtless tho same intluences that operated on one part of the line were carriad oub tirouzh the whole extent of tho line, and wowd ifect tho peoplo aud busir.eas atong the whole length of the rond. "Lly.8 quention was dwolt upon simply as an in- itiatory tnovement in the constrncticn of tho rond, and ror the purposo of showing that the people along the lino of the rond are direcely in- terented in the proper menugement of vaid rond. ‘4 he noiut Iargely dwelt upon was_the slmost entire fuilure, on the part of F.

The primo object of all railyoads is to Aecuro a cheap, convenient, aua expoditious method of transportation and communication with tho ditfatent merkets, and kafe, comforiable, and speedy travel for tho citizons of tho country, Whatevor desire may exist on the part of tho original Company to carey out those objects has Boen nimost entirely subvorted by the appoint- mont of Mr. Hinckley as Recaiver, in thia: thut, on account of the dischargo of wiany of tho ow- ployes of tha road, thie reduction of the sularies, and contequent incroago of lavor devolvinse upon thoso who remain, n fecling of diwsatisfaction bag been ereatod, which, togethor with the in- creneed lubor, renders tho work of the rond very inoulcient, alihough tho employes are faithrul and enexgetic sorvants, “T'liese fucts, with many others thal were men- tioned, bave n direct tendency to destroy the busimess of *heroad; to causo Lransportation, teavel, ole., to be slow, unenfe, embairasuing, and destiuetivo of the’ futercsts of the peoplo alongs the line of this rond.

Tho Leglslaturo of 1875 will chiooso a succossor to Bonator Matt f. Corponter; the Benators chosen last fall will havo a voica in thut olection, a8 thelr term lasts twoyosra, When Honator Carpontor voted for and took the brok-pay, lnst Maurch, thera commeuced tho growth of a strong weutiment anong thd houest mussos, in favor of NOT RETURNING HIM t2 the Bouate. Whon, in July, ho made his spocch defending tho shamoloss back-pay steal and his own oction in tho mattor, thoro was o gunoral outery against tho once-honorod Sonn- fur. Feom ovory town in Wisconsin came up oo domand that all efforla to ro-clect Carpentor to the Scnato must Le thwarted. Tho foeling agaiuut his towurn grow stronger and stronge, ench day. T'ho Benator wne in such bad odor that not & aingle oall was mads for hun to take part in the fall’ cnmpaign, As s mattor of coarse, tho hon- st masses of tho party considored him political- 1v dead, aud so dooply butied that ho could never agaln dig out to duylight in the Ropublican par- ty; stitl, thoy wore fu tayor of unaquivocally in- struceing thoir Sonntorinl candidates to not only vote ngainat his ro-clection to s seat in tho Unitod States ho had disgraced, but to put forth their utmost oxertions to accomplish bis defout, Now comes in s WOOL-PULLING SCENE, ‘The momant tho Postmnsters aud other Federal olliéers, who owe Carpenter for the casy places they bave at Uncle Bam's table, detected o detorimination on tho purt of tho pooplo to paes resolutions in "tho Conventions, if eloctod, to opposa Carponter, they stoppod 1ight to the frout aud scoutoed the idon. ** Why," said they, * Matt ie 80 dead, and so doep in tiie bow- olu of the enrth, that ho will never again trouble any political party. ‘lliere is no poswbility of hid becoming a candidato for re-elcction. Such resolutions of instruction 28 yuu propoto aro usoless, Drop them. Wo tell you Matt will not bo & candidato under any circumstances.” 7 Would yon bellove that tuts, from the samo old pohiticel kchomers who bad Bo often fooled the peoplo and accomplished their ends, WAS BWALLOWED by even tho flercest advocates of putting up all tuo bars louding to auotber eix yoars in the Son- ata for Ar, Carpenter? 1t scems ncredible, yet itisa fact; and tho blundor of leaving down a good may paira of bars was commitiod, aud at & timo wlion tho peoplo wero_ fully determined to block evaiy avonue throngh which Mr. Car- outer ‘or any other salary-grabber might scek is way ino the Seuato. No #ooner wero the votes counted last No- vombor than the Fedoral offico-halders thirew off_thair masks, and commenced their labor of Dbuilding up a sentimant FAVORAULE TO THE RE-ELECTION .. of Carpenter. At first the men who lad been duped by tho oftico-holdars 3 hud Looded their advice, and nogiected to instruct tne Seuatorial candida:es, would not beliove what they heard; but_they soon became couvincod that they had mado o disautrous blundor. Hence their fooling to-duy that they huve been worse thun sold. 1s Tue Tnisung, aud are its thoneands of readers i Wisconsin, &ware that tho _coutest for tho Bonatorslip has alrendy opoued all along this line? It cortainly hoa. I will venturo to slate that nine-tonths of thie Republican editors in tho Stato have bevnin- torviewed by ono or more Federal oflice-holders o tho question of SUFPOITING MR, OARPENTER for re-clection. ** Laok liare,” they say; Matt is & man of fine abilities, and is bound to tnke rank awmong the very best men who have ocou- pied soats in tho Sonato. To be sure, Lo made a vent mistake when he voted for and took the facl pay. Wo. ol admit that; bubho_proposea to do s neat thing in thnt business, When the quostion of 1opest comos up, bo will mako n spacch in favor of rorurning to tho old salary, Then be will bo back whoie he was boforo tho splary-grab took place. Now, lot us do the fair thing by him, aud return him for six years,"” That all sounds very pretey, and I kave no doubt bul it, and the promso of a post-oflice or some other Federal appointment, will succeed in souring the services of n few atarveling Repub- Lican shoets that aro slways in_the matket; but it 16 8afo to say that tho great bulk of tho Re- publican pross of Wisconsin will DECLINE TO GO BACK upon its record by championing the re-election of & men it has €0 often branded s no logor worthy of tha confidence of the peoplo. I'ne’ honest Repubhicans of Wisconsin have one wuy open to thom by which to make cortain tho defeat of Mr. M, H. Carpentor; and, if no other way opens before next election, they will Lo quite sure to adopt that, It is this: Join the Rotormors, aund rouder sure the election of a Reform Leginlature, The Senator snd his friends seom doterminod to crush out the Republican party in Wisconsm, “Phey could not pursuo s courso that would bring it whout more quickly than tuo oua thoy are now pursuing, ‘Thoy Luva Loon duly warned. As much as they may dislike todo 8o, the honest men remaining iy the Rapublicun ranks will not tuwely cousent to labor for tho ro-election of Matt }1, Carpenter ; moro : thay WILL JOIN THE OPFOSITION, doeming it much better for the State to have such nman oy tho Iteform Legialaturo would gond to tho Seonto than s man like Carpentor, who, the moment ha reaches Washington, cuts looso from tio pooplo, and labors only for solf and & fow otlice-holders whom he bus rewarded for nid gavou him, A LoOKER-ON. —_———— HENDERSON COUNTY FARMERS’ ASSO- CIATION.
