EVENING STAR|| WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY............... April 16, 1866. U7" Advertisements should be handed in by as they may not appear SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union praises the Democracy of the House, ‘‘ the immortal seventy-four,”’ for the firmness with whieh they have maintained the policy and principles of their party throughout the session. The Intelligencer argues earnestly against an elective judiciary. eo Nationat Tazatne—Tae Opera.— The Crown Diamonds” was given, last evening, to a fashionable and appreciative audience by the Pyne and Harrison troupe. Whatever of enthusiasm may have been exhibited on the first evening of the appearance of these ar- tists in “ Sonnambula,’’ we are bound to re- cord, was far excelled by the reception of the comic opera of last night. Miss Louisa Pyne perfectly reveled in the brilliant and sparkling music of Auber; in her introduced songs of ‘‘ The Sky Lark” and “ Rode’s Variations’? she scattered the gems of her musical genius around her delighted listeners with a perfectabandon. Louisa Pyne is indisputably the best English artist of the day. Whether in the deep pathos of the broken-hearted Amina, or the light and grace fal Katarina, she is equally home ; the simple ballad and the ornate bravura are at her command ; and as an actress she is not sur- passed by any on the stage. Such attributes have seldom or never before met in one artist; and it affords us pleasure to record her tri- umphs. Harrison was unexceptionably good as the “ gay and gallant Cavalier,’’ whose guerdon was the love of his Queen. His introduced song of ‘Oh, whisper what thou feelest,’’ met with an enthusiastic encore. This evening, Wallace’s favorite opera bf ‘*Maritana” will be given, and to-morrow night “ The Daughter of the Regiment,”’ with all the original music. This will be the first time our citizens will have had an opportunity of hearing thisopera without mutilation. Af- ter the operas, Miss Louisa Pyne, and Messrs. Harrison, Stretton and Horncastle, as alo the entire company, will sing the national anthem of “ Hail Columbia.” Panopi’s Concerr.—Every seat was filled last night at this concert, and hundreds were tarned away. A more brilliant audience, or & more enthusiastic one, we never remember to have seen. Parodi, in the Marseilles Hymn, showed her remarkable dramatic powers as well as her capabilities as a vocalist. The Piece was rapturously encored. Patti has developed into a charming full- blown woman since she last appeared here, and was, if possible, more captivating than ever. Of Strakosch, the incomparable, our read- ers will not need that we should dwell upon the style in which he exhausted the capabili- ties of the piano. We must not neglect to Rotice, however, the superb instrument of Chickering’s make, used by him on this occa- sion, and which was well worthy of being handled by a Strakosch. Tn consequence of so many failing to gain admission last ht, this troupe will give another concert, it will be seen, to-morrow night, when Parodi will sing cur great Na- tional song, “The Spankled Banner,” in which she has created such a fwror through the South. Tux Sprcratror.—Our handsome literary neighbor The Spectator, we see, announces a new feature in the publieation of an original novellette entitled “George Montagu; or, Sundry passages of an ill-regulated life: An auto-biograpby.’’ This tale has been pre- pared expressly for the columns of the Spec- tator by an author of acknowledged ability and is expected to be @ work of superior merit. The Spectator seems to be very carefully ed- ited, and presents the additional attraction of & beautiful typographical appearance. It merits a handsome support. Harpers’ Macazise for May, promptly laid upon our table by Joe Shillington, comes freighted with its usual abundance of useful, interesting, and entertaining articles, amongst which we notice “A visit to the Silver Mines of Central America,’’ 2 continuation of the illustrated history of Commodore Perry’s ex- Ppedition to Japan, and morechapters of Dick- ens’ tale of ‘Little Dorrit,” the interest of which continues to increase as the story ad- ances. Invatvaste Rewepies.—Here are a few simple remedies for very prevalent disorders, whieh we have no hesitation in recommending as infallible : For sea sickness—stay at home, For drunkenness—drink cold water. For health—take “‘Ayer’s Pills.”” For accidents—keep out of danger. To make money—advertise in the Evening Btar. For Coughs and Colds—take Cherry Pectoral. To keep out of jail—pay your debts. To be happy—subsoribe for the Star—daily or weekly. To please all—mind your own businesz.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssIP The National Aqueduct.—There appears to be much earnest discussion in Oongress re- specting the carrying out, at the present time, the wishes of Gen. Washington, and in latter days those of Gen. Jackson, forgmpplying the public property with water from the Falls of the Potemac. - Washington by his foresight knew that the metropolis of this great nation would become worthy the people of a great republic and that its destiny was, that it should be erected in an era that was fast developing the power possessed by man, to extend the arts and seiences far beyond that which had gladden- ed the eyes of the greatest enthusiasts of the Old World. Thé*people have erected and are now erect- ing buildings necessary for the proper preser- vation of the public property, only keeping pace with the demands which the increased business and accumulation of archives re- quire. Atthis time when so much talent is at the service of the people, ardent and anx- ious to contribute towards the glory of their country, in erecting forms in architecture elegamt and noble, a3 well as durable and lasting in construction—safe repositories and objects of pride to look upon, by the repre- sentatives of the inhabitants of a great re- public, for ages to come—to do less than is being done, would be impossible. The age Tequires it, and it must be so. If to differ about the manner of using the drippings of water from the National Aqueduct as it passes the habitations of those who reside near the public property is to mar the beauty of the metropolis, endanger the public property, and risk the health of the officials, restrict the use of the water solely fur public purposes. Without an ample supply of water the seat of Government cannot exist, while that which is absolutely requisite is being conveyed to the Capitol, but a small addition will be re- quired for the comforts and elegancies of life. Who can caleulate the advantages to pos- terity that the assembling annually of the People’s representatives, accompanied by their families, at the metropolis will yield? Elegance in the arts and sciences, which can only be accomplished on a large scale, and in proper proportion by the Government, will be viewed to advantage, and fix impressions to be cultivated hereafter for the benefit of their country. We will not say that we must keep pace with our cotemporaries of the Old World—more is expected—we must lead. The very nature of our public institutions draws forth talent and urges it on to success. “Hit ‘em Agin; They aint got any Friends.”"—The line of argument pursued by two or three honorable members of the House upon the water works question naturally gives tise to the impression that they regard all the citizens of Washington, engaged in business, as a set of sharpers bent on cheating every person with whom they deal; or that the honorable gentlemen themselves are much sharper concerning their own pennies than the great mass of the representatives of the nation, who make no such complaints. Now, the cost of living is necessarily much greater in this city than elsewhere, as provision must be made here for the temporary entertain- ment of thousands of stangers. Fluctuations of demand always produce high prices for accommodations when the demand is greatest. This law holds good every where, as all ex- perienced persons know. Members of Con- gress are not charged higher prices in Wash- ington than they would pay in New York or any other city for similar accommodations or articles under similar circumstances. There is noobligation on any gentleman from adistance among us to buy more than the bare necessaries of life in Washington, and if not satisfied with the prices charged for those by the first person with whom he essays todeal, here, aselsewhere, he can find accommodations at lower rates. Rooms may be had at from three to fifty dollars per week ; though it is rather unreasonable to expect to obtain suites of rooms at first class hotels in Washington at less prices than are charged in similar establishments of other cities. We know many members who save money here on their pay, because they strive to do so. Others who essay no such thing, of course spend all theirs. It would be in better taste, it strikes us, for gentlemen who desire to live economically among us to con- tent themselves with moderate accommoda- tions and living, than to indulge in those which are more costly, and then essay to hold the citizens of Washington responsible for their failure to get out of them a thing worth five dollars in the market for half that sum. Our tradeemen, like tradesmen everywhere, aim to make as much money as they can, and nothing can be easier than to decline dealing with them where their.prices may be deemed exorbitant. That course would be more re- spectable than that of stigmatizing a whole community for the prices charged by a few, which by the by, no one is compelled to pay Respond to the Call.—We lay before the Star's readers the following important and eloquent appeal, and earnestly hope that it will be promptly and effectively responded to by the South, from Masons and Dixon’s line to the western confines of Texas. It is from the Secretary of the Kansas Emigration So- ciety, and dated Lafayette County, Mo., March 25, 1856 : TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES. On the undersigned, Managers of the “La- fayette Emigration Society,” has devolved the important duty of calling the attention of the people of the slave-holding States, to the absolute necessity of immediate action on their part, in relation to the settlement of Kansas Terri The crisis is at hand. Prompt and decisive measures must be adopt- ed, or farewell to Southern rights and inde- pendence. The western counties of Missouri have, for the last pre zea been heavily taxed. both in money and time, in fighting the battles of the South. Lafayette county alone, has ex- pended more than $100,000 in money, and as much, or more, in time. Up to this time, the border counties of Missouri have upheld and: maintained the rights and interests of the South, in this struggle, unassisted, and un- successfully. But the Abolitionists, staking their all upon the Kansas issue, ara hesita- ting at no means, fair or foul, are movin heaven and earth to render that beautifu Territory not only a ‘‘ Free State," so called, but a den of negro thieves and “higher law” ineendiaries Missouri, we feel confident, has done her boy 2 and will still be found ready and willing to do all she can, fairly and meprpiey tics the maintainance of the integrity of the South Bat the time has come when she ean no longer stand up, single handed, the lone champion of the South, Sgrinst the myrmidoms of the en- tire North. I requires no great foresight to Perceive that if the “higher law’? men suc- = in ~ Scere it will be but the com- meacemen! ® war upon the institutions of the South, which will comnts until slavery shall cease to exist in the Union is dissolved. 7°" “Be States, or How, then, shall these i: avoided? The snswer is corieas eon Bw Territ with emigrants from the South. The | ope yn of the Territory at this time is about equal—as many pro-slavery settlers as abolitionists; but the fanatics have emis- saries in all the free States—in almost every» illage—and by misrepresentation and fal hood are @ ‘4 in collecting money and listing men to t; ze over the South. Is in the nature of Southern men to submit with- out resistance, to look to the North for their laws and institutions? We do not believe it! If, then, the South is influenced by a spirit of self re: and indepence, /et societies be formed to assist emigrants Those who can- not emigrate can contribute money to assist those who can. We have such societies in Missouri, and we can induce more people to em’ than we are able to support. whole South would adopt this m, we would succeed; Kansas would 8 slave State, and the slavery agitation would cease. If we permit the North to make an abolitio: State of Kansas, the whole South must sub- mit to be governed by the North. Will the South help us? The great struggle will come off at the next election, in October, 1856, and unless the South can at that time maintain her ground, all will be lost. We repeat it, the crisis has arrived. The time has come for action—do/d, determined action—words will no longer do any good—we must have men in Kansas ; and that too by tens of thousands. A few will not answer. If we should need ten thousand, and lack one of that number, all wiil count nothing. Let all then, who can come, do so atonce. Those who cannot come, must give their money to help others to come. ere are hundreds of thousands of broad acres of rich land, worth from $5 to $20 per acre, open to settlement and pre-emption, at $1 25 per acre. Let, then, the farmer come and bring his slaves with him. There are now one thousand slaves in Kansas, whose presence there strengthens our cause. Shall we allow these rich lands and this beautiful pyar 4 to be overrun by our Abolition enemies? We know of a surety that they have emissaries and spies in almost every town, village and city inthe South, watching our movements, and tampering with our slaves. Let us, then, be vigilant and active in the cause; we must maintain our ground. The loss of Kansas to the South, will be the death knell of our dear Union. Missouri has done nobly, thus far, in over- coming the thousands who have been sent out by Abolition Aid Societies; we cannot hold out much longer, unless the whole South will come to the rescue. We need men; we need money ; send us both, and that quickly. Do not delay; come as individuals, come in com- panies, come by thousands. Our hearts have been made glad by the late arrival of large companies from South Caro- lina and Alabama. They have responded romptly to our call for help. The noble Burord is already endeared to our hearts; we love him; we will fight for him, and die for him and hiscompanions. Who will follow his noble example? We tell you now, and tell you frankly, that unless you come quickly, and come by thousands, we are gone. The elections once lost, we are lost forever. Then farewell to our Southern cause, and farewell toour glorious Union. We repeat the cry, **come over and help us.’’ W.H. Russert, Martin SLAvGaTER, O. ANDERSON, G. W.

In the Senate, yesterdy, after we went to press, Mr. Yulee’s motion to reconsider tho resolution changing the site of the national armory in this city, being under discussion, Mr. Y. advocating that motion, said it would cost twelve thousand dollars more to put an armory on Judiciary square than onthe mall. The change proposed by the yesolution would also involve the construction of another hos- pital elsewhere ; for it was proposed to place the armory on the same square with the present hospital, and the noise of the drums, the firing of guns, and the collection of a large concourse of people on the parade ground, must be not Plagegeee lee inconvenient and unpleasant, but absolutely injurious to the health of the invalids occupying the hospital. Congress would then be called upon, from motives of humanity, to make an appropriation for the construction of another hospital. Mr. Brown urged the importance of pre serving the reservation for the use of the pub- lic, instead of making it a parade ground for holiday soldiers. ese reservations were very desirable _ all jae ite eit weep the very lungs through which the lation bre: a He alluded to the Comruee fa Bos ton as the pride and glory of that ancient city, and cited the expenditure of five or six mil- lions of dollars by the city of New York for a public park. Here we had a large unoccupied reservation, and we should not suffer it to be spoiled by erecting buildings upon it. He had been authorized by Dr May, the hospital physician, to say that it would be no disad- vantage to the hospital to place the armory there; he had alse been authorized by prac- tising lawyers to say that it would be no dis- advantage to the courts. ‘ Mr. Douglas was opposed to allowing the erection of any buildings on any of the pub- lic reservations. He thought the jail, the hospital, &c., ought never to have been placed where they are. The discussion was continued by Mesers. Toucey. Yulee, Brodhead, Hale, Adams, But- ler, Reid, Stuart, Weller, Brown, and others. The passage of the joint resolution was re- considered, and the District Committee were directed to bring in another repealing the original Armory bill. nd then, after an Executive session, they adjourned.
