Mr. Hermann Hendrichs appeared for the first time in this country at the German Stadt Theatre last night, and it is to be regretted that he should have chosen a pleco wherein the two prominent characters must lose in effective- ness unless they are fully supported by all on the scene. The plot of the drama is simply an extract from the history of Europe. Duke Albrecht, son of Duke Ernst of Bavaria, falls in love with a beautiful daughter of a citizen of Augsburg, Agnes Bernauer, and secretly marries her. For reasons of state his father insists upon his “leaving home’’ Anna of Brunswick, when, through the passionate ebulitions of the son, his secret marriage is revealed. During the absence of Albrect from home Agnes, bis wife, was forcibly dragged away and drowned in the Danube. In consequence of this outrage Albrecht made war upon his father, defeated him several battles and finally the repentant father built @ chapel at the spot where Agnes died by his command, and Alvrecht married Migs Anna of Brunswick. Had the poet, Mr. Metchior Meyr, followed closely in the track of this historical tra- gedy and given promtuence to the idea which these two persons represent instead of to the two persons: themselves, then this idea would carry the piece. As it 1s now, two persons have to shoulder it all, and = after third act, when Agnes is out of the way, the weight falls uj one. Regret has been expressed that Mr. Hendrichs should have That regret is perfectly justified. Mr. Hendtichs, as regret ly just . Hendrichs, as ho proved himself last night, is one if not the most consummate delineatcr of passion. There ap- pears to be nothing studied—he 1s the man, as na- ure made him, who gives himself away in passions of grief and sorrow, as well as of ; and he knows also to be true to nature in moments of quiet deliberation and subtle cunning. He was well assisted by Mile, Irschicx as ) though her api ded, a3 It was, of ‘staginess.” The rest of the company were not worth “entioning, TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS.

WATERING PLACE NOTES, ‘The Grecian bend, with tts ridiculous attire, “pe- hind and before,” has been voted vulgar, im at Saratoga. Miss Flora McFitmsey regrets this, as she thinks the most “statuesque pose’’ a body of grace can assume is that which her favorite poodle exhibits when requested to elevate himself on his hind legs and trot staggeringly along the piazza and back. We are firmly persuaded that if fashion should decree that her votaries should imitate the walk of the porcine the iund but ina fortnight would pride herself on the land but in a for wouid pri elegance of her ‘‘grunt.”” ¥ goer They are having a a time of it at Long Branch. Were it not for the mosquitoes and the other “animiles” thereabout it would be a perfect paradise. The gentiemen “who run the hotels” on the Jersey shore are making a “good thing” of it this season.

No man was more astonished when those plans so inexplicably failed. His friends--that is, Sweeny and Tweed, who are here, running the machine—claim his nomination on the first ballot by minety votes, to which the bist men rejoin by saying that itis only “blutf.’’ eed last winter wanted to be Governor, bat he knows now that he could not be electod. Hoffman was the forced choice of the City Hall autocrata. ‘The next prominent candidate is Henry ©. Mur- phy, at present State Senator from Kings county, who came within one vote of being the candidate for President of the United States in place of Franklin Pierce at the Demoeratic National Con- vention of 1852, He has been State Senator for several terms consecutively, and at the last Guber- navorial Convention (in 1866) was pI the nomination in 1863 if he would then give way to Hofman, which, it wili be remembered, he did. His friends now demand the fulfilment of this promise. The Kings county delegation is for him as a unit, and he claims several delegations from the interior. Sheriff O'Brien, of the New York delegation, is for him, although the latter body before leaving adopted a resolution to cast their vote as a unit for Hotfman. O'Brien says he was not present at the mecting and is not, therefore, bound by its action. He ia a bitter foe of the Mayor and will fight seine him to the lust. It was the intention of the New York delega- tion to meet this morning and select a chairman to cast their vote as a unit in the Convention, but as they have not done so up to this time it is fair to pre- sume that they anticipate the trouble which O'Brien Sie create by rising during the session and demanding to cast his vote in- dividually as he wished, aud hence will let things take their ordinary course. The Tammany men are well provided with money and will use it lib rally to secure the country delegates, ‘The scheme of extending the “ring” to the whole State is too brillant a one to be abandoned without a struggle. The prize is too valuable to let slip with- out an effort. Senators Tom Creamer and Mike Norton have re- linquished the fight inst Hoifman, after all the Saratoga caucusing which they did for Murphy. Senator Harry Genet is here, bat as an outsider, The sting of his opposition has been drawn. John A. Green is also on the ground and said to be for Murphy, but, as the General has an old trick of changing his opinions the night before the Conven- tion, there is no knowing who Will be his candidate to-morrow. Sanford E. Church ts ‘not’ a candidate after the fashion of Horatio Seymour, He is working for Murphy, but would accept the nomination if he could harmonize the different factions in the. Con- vention. He prefers trimming his sails, however, for the United States Senatorship next winter, Erastus Corning, Sr., will be sprung upon the Oon- vention by the Albany and Troy delegates if the fight between the Hoifman and Murphy men con- tinnes acrimonious. His claims as a compromise man will be advanced, and the er men, it is un- derstood, will support him against Hoffman. The Kings county men are all work! harmoatously for their favorite despite their quarrels from last win- ter's divisions. Assemblyman John ©, Jacobs ts their leader in the onset against Hoffman, VOR LIRUTRNANT GOVERNOR @ number of names have been presented, The most Prominent is that of A. P. paca ot Buffalo, a member of the State Central Commit! The names of Allen C. Beach, of Jeiferson; Smith Weed, of Clinton, and A. J. Averill, of St. Lawrence, are also mentioned. A. P. Lanning is most likely to receive the nomination, ashe forms part of the “slate,” with Hoffman at the top. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER the names of Oliver Bascom and N. B, Mil! of Washii 3 —— Lamb, of Saratoga, and Andrew J. Yates, of Montgomery, are mentioned. As the position is to be conceded to the Champlain presale and as Oliver Bascom ts the choice of a majority the delegates from Washington county, he will very provably receive the nomination. FOR INSPECTOR OF STATE PRISONS cNeil, who ran in ans prot be Te- nominated FOR CLERK OF COURT OF APPRALS two names have been submitted—those of the “in- evitable” KE. O.

It is not at all likely that their counsels will be needed. The “rule or ruin” policy of Tammany will prevail THB PROSPECTIVE TICKET. ‘The indications are that the following ticket will be nominated to-morrow :— Governor—John T. Hoffman. ponseeg od Governor—a. P. Lanning. Commissioner—Oliver Bascom. State Prison 1 David B. McNeil. Clerk of the Court of Appeals—E. 0. Perrin, BETTING. The sporting men are betting two ways on the nomination for Governor—one that Hoffman will have a majority on the first ballot, and the other that Marphy will have at least forty-five votes at the start. There {s also betting at the rate of fifty to one hun- dred on ‘the field” against both favorites—that is, that neither Hoffman nor Murphy will be nominated. The calculators are making ious biunders somewhere. Ninety votes are claimed for Hoffman and as high as sixty for Murphy on the first ballot, MORRISSEY. It was prophesied that the Honorable John would make a poor politician, however excellent his quali- ties as @ sporting man. The Saratoga flasco for Murphy was “‘put vp” for tim by the Tammanyit and he feli tuto the trap.

AQUATICS, Three Mile Boat Race on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. POUGHKEEPSIE, Sept. 1, 1368. Yonkers and Poughkeepsie met here this afternoen in an aquatic contest. The former was represeutod by A. L.

The rowers pulled im seventeen feet light working bosts over course three miles long, turning one stakeboat at the end of a mileandahalf. Theday was s fine one and tue river comparatively smooth. Hundreds of persons, including @ large number of ladies, witnessed the affair with much satisfaction. The race was put down to come off at four P. M., but did ‘not occur till halfanhourafterwards. At the latter time the judges ‘were appointed as follows:—For Amelung—Dr. Withers, of the Atalanta Club, New York, and J. G. P. Holden, of the Palisade Club of Yonkers.
