Oakey Hall in the recent Bateman-Daly case. Mr. Hall touches sharply some points in the ease, especially that of the poorhouse prices paid by theawrical people for literary labor; but the interest that this suit has for the public turns on points that it was not Mr. Hall’s cue to toner at all. The suit is of public interest asa ventilation of the cormpt relations between the theatre and the press—as an exposé of the cool maiter-of-course way in which newspapers thatpretend to be public censors in the inte- rest of good morals and good taste degrade themselves to be the mere buyers and sellers of nctoviety for those who extend to them the paliy courtesies of the taproom. The public aeceyis the press as a guide in (he matter of puble amusements to a great extent, going to see that which is praised and staying away fromthat which is denounced; and the man- agen, trading on the confidence that the public repoes in the newspaper, have orgenized a systan by which they have any amount of puffry done to order at the shortest notice by ‘the yoorly paid Bohemians of the minor pres: {tisasan exposure of this shameless sysiem, thatthe recent suit against Mr. Bateman is ¢ of the case there is morally litik to choose between the arrogant manager and he poor scribbler, Manager and seribbler are qually deep in an arrangement of whic! the theatre-going public is the real victim, and the quarrel between them is one of the kind described in the proverb, in jyirtue of which honest men come by teir rights Such legal exploitations of the svsiem will enable the public to set a projty value on the ¢ ms of the pr xeveally; for this is the machinery by which iheatival reputations are made. The Bohe- Miau critics are a thirsty race—thirsty as Calilan ; and like that monster they bow down theiropinions, kneel and ‘ick the shoes of the godlke manager on account of the “celestial lique” that he is ready to pay for. The man- agerpays freely; for what is the outlay and what the mcome? Half a dozen or a dozen glases of lager beer—a spree of champagne and systers now and then, At this emali price is puchased indiscriminate laudation of every- thing that he offers to the public. His ranting, dullwitted actors and actresses are declared to befiner than anything else on the modern stag ; his trashy, perhaps indecent plays are praied ‘o the echo, and the names of Malibran and jvisi are invoked to make brilliant com- parions for his obscure third rate singers and thei worn out voices, Mr. Daly’s testimony shoss that, being in the pay of Mr. Bateman, he vas allowed to write what he pleased in any of be Philadelphia papers while Miss Bate- mar played in that city. And the papers praked the magnificent tragedienne wonder- full:, of course. Honest opinions of the Phile- delybia press! But these opinions, bought wit! the oysters and wine dispensed through Daly, filled the house ; for the confiding public cane just as if the opinions bad not been paid for,and Bateman made money. The circum- stance that distinguishes hima from othe: man- ages is that he refused to audit the bill The drinkers had been too extravagant. He intended that they should take lager beer, and the superlative fellows had the impudence to call tor champagne, and they must pay for it. As long as the managers have pursued this system it is not on record that any other one of them has acted thus at the Inst. liis the Philadelphia press that is brought up in this case most prominently; but in this metropolis the Bohemians cultivate the same sysiem. The plaintiff in the present case is the attache of a city paper, and, as the public has seen, the pames of several city papers were brought! in on the trial. The Teranp is the only journal whose opinions the managers have failed to secure by this outrageous tystem, and that is the reason why “these establish- ments do noi advertise in the New Yor Her ato.” If singers have cracked voices, we say so. If managers parade ortisies that can no longer get engagements on the other side of the Atlantic, we let the public know it. If trashy, indecent plays are put forward; if poor nonensities are put up as actresses or actors of genius, we expose the one and knock down th: other, command of the thirsty Bohemians, they have been alle to fill the city pepers with misrepre- sentation, and the country papers t all pur- chased with the same lager beer that pays for a nightiy puff. manager will forget the proprieties of his little game with the Bohemians, and expose these little secrets in the courts. Then the public comes by its rights and is enabled (o understand what paper it can depend upon for unpurchased opinions ov all such top if But now and then a tes, Tue Revson Way run. Mayagens’ Assecia- TION did not “advertise in the New Yor Hek- ALY” was because the managers formed a com bination to crush the actors, actresses and orchestras, and the Herat stood by the in- tended victims and endeavored to protect m trom a hideous monopoly.

One of the statues was of | ordinary size, beautiful in feature and form, attesting the skill of ‘the artist, while the other was larger, little coarse, with some rough pointe about it, and they rejected the larger and opted the amaller: bat the makor of the larger and rjectod statue tnststed th should be placed on the pedestal before they decld ‘This was agroed to; but when the work of elevation be- gan and the statues went upwerd and higher still, tt was seon that the beautiful features of the smaller siatue faded away, while the features of the coarser and larger one shone out in the beauty that be- longed to it, and finally when it roached its place on the pedestal, tothe utter surprise of the multitude below, they found the smaiter had faded away into » mere shapeloss mace, while the other stood forth almost a moving, breathing, living being, So it is with those who have seon Andrew Johnson aa & mere partisan and in ap bumble position; they are ready to reject him, but when be was elevated and placed in power and had taken hs position on the pedestal of the constitution, then they see that be has sunk the partisan in the patriotic President of the whole Union, (Applause) A stronger partisan than Andy Jobnson—Cheers and laughter)—searcely ever lived, but he would be un- worthy of his position if he kept up that partisanship. But he has been brave enough to trample tpon his pres Judicas, and tells bis bitterest enemies that the constitu tion protects them and all while they submit to the laws of the land, Your enemies cannot induce you to do what you do not des re to do; your friends may mis lead youbut he who has resisted what Andrew Johnson has Tesisted must be a man indeed, because he has fought with these men as frends and with the olbers as enemies; bat when the constitation bids him look to thelr intorests he says:-—My country demand» it.
