An application has been flled for the pardon Of the following prisoners, who were convicted May 4, 1852, and were sentenced May 19, 1882, to eight years’ imprisonment, each, in the peni- tentiary at Buffalo, New York, for an assault and battery with intent to kill: Edward Mor- rell, Chas. Woou, alias Chas. Fitzmorris, and Chas. Lilly, alias Thornton Collins, alias James Thornton. "An attempt had been made to burg- larize the oilice of Col. R. 1 Fleming, between K, L, ‘hand 13th streets and Sargeant Amiss being at the mouth of the alley on L street was Shot at by tue crowd, narrowly escaping death. After seutence appeals were taken and the case Went to the General Term, but in the case of Tom Jones the appeal was withdrawn ina few weeks. It is represented that the pardon is recommended by a large number of our leading citizens. The report of the District. Attorney will most likely be adverse.

To the Editor of Tie EvesiNo Stan: If itis not too late, iet me invoke through the STAR, a change of oneday in the Senate Joint resolution proposing to fix the thirtieth of April as “inauguration day.” True, George Wash- ington, “the Father oi His Country,” was first inaugurated on the thirtieth of April, but only because it happened so. George was t been inaugurated sooner, but the%uilding in which the ceremony took’ place was not sooner prepared. There is reatly no more reason why the thirtieth of Aprii than why the particular day of the week on which the immortal Georg was luaugurated, should be the future inuuguration day. Therefore I move to strik the thirtieth of April and insert First of May. Exen_ more than the fonrth of March, the first of May has the great merit of being, phraseologically, brict and enphonivus—short’ aud sweet; three syl- | lubies instead of stx, just half the number of s lables to write and speak; a great consideration When we rezember how infinite is to be their use Then, too, May day is a gladsome day among festivals in both ancient and day popularly dedicated to } ddess Flora, ‘the inauguration day of fruits and flowers; ‘hence an -especially appro- priate day tor welcoming the advent of a new President. Were any addditional reason needed to coumend the adoption of the Ist of jon day,the fact that in many parts of the country it) 1s would seem to be suificient; the tically conforming to the custom of “the people,” an outgoing President should nieve oul abd an incoming President should move in. So please let the ist of May be our guration =o LV.

ALBAUGH’S OPERA HovusE.—It is not too much (to say that the representation of Wag- ners “Flying Dutchman” by the American Opera com} y last night was the most com- pletely satiste ‘operatic_performance ever witnessed in Washington. Nothing was want- ing to make it as nearly an deal production of tls poetical work as can reasonably be hoped for. The leading roles were filled by arti who seemed to have a peculiar fitness for .d whose vocal equipment was entirely vo the demands of the beautiful score. orchestra did its work with the marvelous finish of technical excellence and the power which it never fails to attain under the direc tion of Mr. Theodore Thomas. The setting was s wonder of beauliful and elaborate stage art and the mechanical deviees worked —s0 smoothly as to complete the illusion of the Picturesque scenes. ith the raising of the curtain the weird, gloomy, fateful atmosphere of the strange Vikings’ tale of the North sea seemed to steal forth and envelop the audience like a soft mist from @ phantom ocean. Out of the storm and the darkness the mysterious craft of the Dutchman swept like a thin the fancy into view from the black invisible of the background. On its spars and its rigging the lightnings piayed like luminous tree-shakes on the familiar boughs of their native saplings. The ocean outcast seemed to moun and tremble as the tumbling waves and driving winds hurled it forward to the rock-bound coast; while beyond, through the riven, scurry- ing clouds, faint, broken rays’ of light struggled shrinkingly in to reveal the gloom and the desolation. So complete, poetic and strixing a piece of illusion, itis sate to say, hud not before been seen on a Washington stage, and is notcommonly seen on any stage: and its effect on the audience was accordingly over- mastering. They at once surrendered to the spirit of the work, even before the Dutcaman (Mr. Ludwig), pale, floomy, noble in the strange pathos of his destiny, step) forth in sombre dignity upon the rocks and began in a rich, thrilling baritone his opening solo, The speli thus cast upon the audience was not again broken until the splendid final tableau; but with each succeeding event in the beautiful inusie-drama grew deeper and deeper, as each developed and carried forward hatmo- niously and cumulatively the initial promise und purpose of the theme. In appearauce and. manner Mr. William Ludwig was a most wor thy representative of the mysterious hero of the picturesque legend on which Wagner founded this, nis least characteristic work. He g:ve to his Impersonation that air of romantic gloom and noble resignation, which might be pposed to characterize a fate-pursued man; and yet it was human to a degree which won. at once the syrupathics of the audience. Mr. Ludwig's voice is of great beauty and power in the middle and lower notes, but his higher notes he does not give with as’ much clearness and certainty. His stirring opening number displayed the best aud most pleasing qualities of nis Voice, and at once secured him the en- thusiastic admiration of his audience. ‘Ihe long duet with Senta in the second act. was: full of dramatic power and splendid bursts of voculism, Which won round aiter round of applause, ahd at the end the curtain had to be twice rung up. Tue Senta of Miss Emma Juch was in every Way an adequate companion work to Mr. Ludwig's Dutchman, This charming artist surprised her warmest admirers last night by the poetical beauty of her interpretation of the role of Senta, and the power and dramatic fervor she intused into her rendering of the musi She was, allo- gether, an almost ideal Sen The dreamy louging und romantic exaltation of the open- ing scene of the second act were beautitully expressed, and the meeting with the Dutch- man wus a trying test, irom which she came out triumphant. The lovely spin- ning chorus most efiectively and was received with the usual expressions of delight. In the splendid duet with the Dute: man Miss Juch sustained her part with striking powerand w brilliancy of vocal effect which would not have escaped un encore had any other leader than ‘Theodore Thomas wielded the bato1 Mr. Myron W. Whitney is pecu- larly suited to the partof Daland. His blutt, natural style, both of acting and singing, were Just what was necded, He was in especially good voice last night, and gave his number in the second act with especial charm and ina yle of hearty good nature which impregnated: every note that welled up from the sugary depths of bis basso prosundo. The remainder of the cust was satisfactory and the fresh voices of the chorus were heard to fine advantage.

Owen, one of the pioneers of bley- cling in this city, anda charter member of the Capital Bicycle club, has made it a custom dur- ing the past few years to invite the club to a “run” of a peculiur nature on the occasion of his birthday, which generally occurs on May 7. Last year about sixty members of the Capital club and their friends took part in the festivi- ties, und this year it is estimated that more than 1y0 will start, ‘The peculiarity of these runs consists in the fact that temporarily, at least, the existence of concrete paving in this city is ignored, and the course Is over a previousiy selected route, througn by-ways und “across lots,” up and down steep banks, and over obstructions of ull Icinds—a route not necessarily dangerous, but Which is a severe test of the nerve und skill of the riders, In starting, places in line are assigned to the riders, who’ ure alowed toretain them until compélled to dismount or forced to tall, when they ure relegated to the rear rank; projotien lug thus entirely dependent on merit and SKIIl, and the object, of course, to get us near the head of the tine as possible: ‘The route this year is suid tO present a most ingenious combination of obstructions, al though there fs nothing in it which cannot be Tidden by an average rider with « cool head. Alter the run the festivities will be continued at the Star Bicycle park, where exhibitions of rid- ing, & game of polo on wheels between [tex ‘Smith and Will Robertson, and various athlete contests, will be given by the full strength of the company. ‘The run starts at 4:30 p.m. from the site of the new Capital club house, on 15th street, be- low Albuugh’s, and the route is substantially eireuit around’ the Capitol. ——-___ Tue Equirapce C.
