Diligent inquiry, how- ever, at the proper sources fails entirely to elicit any evidence ia support of these assertions, and it may be safely said that no such motives actuated either Secretary Stanton or General Grant in declining toarm the Maryland militia, The request of the Gov- ernor was not complied with from other and far differ- ent reasons, in which not a shadow of a doubt is ex- pressed in reference to the loyalty of the Maryland miliva, Nevertheless, many radicals profess to feel greatly alarmed at the vigorous revival of the martial spirit im Maryland, and tell ail kinds of stories about the future movements of the Maryland militia; how they are to be sworn into the United States service on the call of the President for the troops, bow they will take possession of the approaches to Washington and isolate the Capitol from the North, East and West, while Con- Gress is being overturned and the Senators and members arrested as revolution iste, expenses of the War Department, and the consternation created in the department by one of hiscurtailiog orders is only equalled by the trepidation caused by others which are believed to be impending.

By this order the price of the commuted ration, which hes for sevoral years been one dollar, is reduced to fifty cente, and the commutation for quar- tors, which waa formeriy eighteen dollars per month, ig now reduced to nine.

The Proposed Saint Domingo Parchase.

It is said, in explanation of Mr. Seward’s persistence in endeavoring to obtain possession of the bay of Samana, that the fact. has recently been under the serious consideration of our government, that in case of a war between Great Britain and the United States the former power could close up all the calling stations and thus force our vessels to put back to our own coast for supplies, The Bradley-Fisher Difficulty Agaim—Action ot Members ef the B: im ~Deprecation of Judge Fisher's Order strii Bradley from the Rolls.

It 8 mot surprising, theres , fore, thateven Ristori, with such a play, cannot suc- ceed in attracting an audience, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, where she appeared last night as Myrrha, was not flied to one-third its capacity.

Steinway Hall, reconstructed and adorned, with a! double flight of stairs leading from Fourteenth street, and with additional candelabra to illuminate the stage and auditorium, was thrown open to the public for the’ first time this season last vight. The audience was very largo and truly fasbionable. The opera no longer monopolizes those red and white cloaks, silk and satim* wilets, bright eyes and diamonied tresses. They were”’ in every part of the bali last night. Treodore Thomas’ inimitable orchestra played the overtures to Egmont and Ruy Blas, La Reine de Saba and Liszt's March of Victory, and Carl Rosa essayed Lipinski’s concerto militaire and made a great success. Mrs. Jenny Kempton sang Boliini’s aria, Le Romeo, and did not seom to have improved much by her European tour. Her voice, although artistically trained, appeared husky 4 not gifted with time intonation and the cg wi mpathetic contralto tone, The great sevsation, how- er, was the pianist, Leopold de Meyer. He played his own fantasia on Norma as an opening piece. It dis played power and delicacy rarely hard on this muck abused instrament in America Taking for his sole theme a part of the introduction to the opera, aud aban- doning all the stale selections as familiar to us by orgasm grinders, he gave the most portical interpretation of this beautiful. subjec: we have ever heard.
