THE STATE RLBCTIONS, THE LATEST RETURNS. The Result in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska. Election of John Covode to Congress. ‘The final returns come in alowly. But nothing 80 far received impels us to change our figures of yea- terday, with the exception, perhaps, of Indiana. A Gespatch from that State, from @ democratic source, claims the election of Hendricks, but the republl- cans Go not concede it, On the contrary they still claim 8 majority of about 2,000 for Colonel Baker, the republican candidate for Governor, The election of D. W. Voorhees (democrat) to Congress is con- armed. A private despatch from a republican source tn Philadelphia claims the State for the republicans by 16,000, which we consider rather excessive. The Yepublican judges in Philadelphia are also claimed to be elected, while the majority for the democratic @andidate for Mayor is cut down to 500. ‘The republican majority in Nebraska runs beyond ourestimate. Itis said now that it will reach be- tween 2,000 and 3,000, with large majorities in both branches of the Legislature. It seems to be conceded that John Covode, radical, has been re-elected to Congress from the Twenty- Sirst Pennsylvania district by a very small majority. “ Atan election in Dacotah Territory on the 13th John Spink was elected delegate to Congress over several competitors, including Walter A. Burleigh (republican), present incumbent. Spinks’ politics are not given, ‘The late election in Delaware resulted in the demo- erate sweeping the State by over 2,000 majority. PENNSYLVANIA, Republican Speculations. Aprivate despatch received in this city yesterday from the republican headquarters in Philadelphia re- ports that the ward returns, as brought in by the om- cers, show much more favorable results than have been reported. The republican judiciary in the city and county of Philadelphia are certainly re-elected; and Tyndale, the republican candidate for Mayor, is mominally beaten by only 600 majority. There is no doubt'that this will be easily reversed by a scrutiny of the balloting. The reports from the country grow better and better; and the majority for the republi an auditor general can scarcely fall short of 15,000. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15, 1868. The oficial vote of this city will be counted to- morrow. Leading republicans, and indeed the mass of the party, are confident that they will show that the republicans have carried the city, except for Mayor and District Attorney, as it is well known the returns received on election night were grossly erroneous. Already the democratic majority has Deen reduced 1,100 from the figures then given out. It is believed that nearly every precinct in the Fourth ‘ward polled more votes than are on its list of taxa- Dies, in which case the whole precinct vote will be thrown out by the courts. One precinct gives a Jarger democratic majority than there are taxables residing 1n it. GREENSBURG Oct., 15, 1868, Every tow nship has been heard from in the Twen- ty-first Congressional district, Fayette gives 1,490 and Westmoreland 890 for Foster. Indiana county gives 2,409 tor Covode, dhowing his majority to be twenty-nine. Covode’s friends allege that over 300 fraudulent votes were cast against him. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15, 1868. Another despatch from Indiana county makes Covode’s majority in the district thirty-five. Leba- non county gives Cake for Congress 1,475 and says hale election is sure by 325 majority. Lock HAvsEn, Oct. 15, 1868. Clinton county gives L. A. Mackey, democratic eandidate for Congress, 1,260 majority and about 800 democratic majority for the State ticket. OHID. CoLuMBvs, Ohio, Oct. 15, 1868, Returns s0 far show from 16,000 to 17,000 rep ubli- an majority 1 Ohio. INDIANA. Sr. Louis, Mo., Oct. 15, 1868, The Times has a despatch from J. J. Bing: um, Se- oretary of the Indiana State Central Comuittee, as follows:—The election is undoubtedly close, but we Dave little doubt that we have elected Hendricks, The radicals claim the State, but are unable to mame any majority. I have every reason to believe that the State is safe. Large democratic gains in many counties are reported, Niblack in the First, Kerr tn the Second, Holman in the Third and Voor- hees in the Sixth district are positively elected. This fsa gain of one over our last previous advices, and figures insure the State by about 1,500 majority. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15, 1863, First retarns from ninety-one counties give repub- Mean majority of 900, with one county to hear from. Official returns received so far show that the repubil- can losses are not so great as at first estimated, and that the State ticket is elected by at least 1,500, prob- ably 2,000. Julian is re-elected by 113. Voorhees’ elec- tion is very doubtfal, but even if he is returned his goat can be successfully contested on account of frauds. Excitoment here 1s still imtense, but demo- crata here now concede the election to the republi- cans, The republicans have a majority on joint Dallot in the Legislature of 30 to 35. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 15, 1868, Official retarns received to-day show small repab- Mean gains on the reported majorities, both parties Still claiming the ticket, The indications are that the fepublican majority wili be 1,500. Oficial re- turns from the Fourth Congressional district place the election of Julian (rep.) to Congress in doubt. ‘Hie majority is much less than the State ticket, St. Louris, Mo., Oct. 16, 1868. ‘The Democrat has a *pectal despatch from Omaha, as follows:—The returns from twelve of the most populous counties show a republican gain of-over 800, while the democrats have gained only about forty. The entire republican majority in these coun- es ts about 1,600. Twenty-four interior counties are yet to be heard from, which will no doubt make the republican majority in the State from 2,000 to 2,300, ‘The republicans have elected twelve State Senators and thirty-flve members of Assembly. The demo- crate have elected one State Senator and four Assem- biymen, DACOTAH TERRITO!

BUFFALO, N, Y., Oct. 15, 1808, Grand Demonstration in Western New York. ‘The grand republican demonstration which was announced some two weeks since to be held to-day in this city, was large and enthustastic. The moru- tng traine camo crowded with “Boys im Bine” and other visitors from neighboring counties in Western Now York and Pennsylvania. The arrangements for afternoon and evening processions, public speaking, &0., Were admirably executed. About two o'clock this atternoon the procession was under marching Order and flied through the principal streets.

Mutual ve. Union. ‘The Mutuals, flushed with their extraordinary yet deserved success in their games with the Atlantics and Athletics during the present week, went up to Tremont yesterday by special train to play their re- turn game with the Unions. The dubious appear- ance of the weather and the miserable condition of the ground after the late rains gave rise to the sup- ition that the would not come off, but as the utuals were on id, at much expense to them- selves, the Unions managed to get seven members of the club together, only tive of whom were members of the nine. They opened the game rather than go by default. Although it resuited in palat! of the Mut ituals they do not look upon it as con- much honor upon them, while it makes one game of the series. It would be wrong to specify or laying on the occasion, and the foliow- ing score will give an idea of what the game was o:— MUTUAL. UNION. iL, Reynolds, 2d b. Sterry, r. f. Dock rf.

The return game of the Gotham-Empire match came off yesterday, and resulted, after ® most unsatisfactory display, in favor of the Gothams by three runs, the score standing twenty-nine to twenty- six. The Empires were rather poorly represented, and the members of the first nine who were present, except Messrs. Miller and Post, did some very tall mufing. The Empires certainly outbatted their op- ponenta, and the game was lost chiefly by the poor playing of the Empires inthe field. The Gothams ‘were minus the services of Chanfrau, but they pre- sented & a ae nine and played nicely throughout. original ‘‘Gothamite”’ was not resent, but the success of his associates will no Runt be welcome news to him. Mr. Norton, of the Eagie Club, umpired the game in the most commend- abie style and decided well and promptly on ail polnts submitted. ‘The Judiciary Committee decided on Wednesday evening that Mutual Club had violated section four of article nine of the constitution of the State Association in adinitting and retaining Mr. Duty as & member of the club, and in playing Mr. Duffy ina = game with the Active Club on September 30, ultimo, The Mutuals will probably appeal to the Judiciary Committe of the National Association, The Orientals of New York intend to appeal from the decision of the Judiciary Committee in the case of the Oriental of Greenpoint vs. Oriental of New York. They claim that the fact that the resignation of a member is duly made and entrusted to a repre- sentative officer of the club is virtually as effective as member as if the club had met and accepted the resigna'ion. They hold also that the neglect of a secretary to bring eee from ® member to the notice of the club should not entail s penalty on the person send- ing the resignation, but that the organization whom the secretary was “oy yg to represent should be the punishable party for having placed in power a person by whom the duties were negiected. To-day the billiard folks (heavy weights vs. lights) will play at the Capitoline grounds, To.morrow the kekfords play the Stars at the Cap- itoline yunds; the Mutuals piay the Orientals of New York at the Union grounds, and the Actives ay the Unions at Tremont. ‘The Eckfords captured Alaska on Tuesday after- boon, the score standing thirty to one. CHARGED WITH ARSON, Yesterday afternoon officer Jessie P. Paul, a patrolman of the Sixteenth precinct, appeared before Justice Dodge, of the Jefferson Market Police Court, escorting as a prisoner one Robert Jackson, whom he charged with the crime of arson, in wilfully setting fire to the frame dwelling house No. 305 West Twenty-fourth street. The circum- narrated by Between the hours of two and three o'clock Thursday morning, while patrolling his beat on Twenty-fourth street, he heard the&ry of ‘Fire! and, running in the di- rection from which the al proceeded, he di covered ftre and smoke tssuing from the buildt alluded to, Ascending to the second floor he en- tered the rear room, where he found two distinct fires, one being a pile of shavings near the side wail in flames, while @ temporary bunk of wood in another portign of the room, in which there was a bed and also Ahavings, all covered with a iarge piece of cloth, was partly consumed. This place had been the sleeping p! of the accused—jovert Jacksoa— whom the oflcer immediately after met by the door of the bullding, having descended to obtain help to extinguish the flames, afier finding that his own and @ brother officer's eiforts were un- availing to accomplish that end. Questioning Jack - #00 as to the origin of the fire he at Orst excitedly said that he “#sapposed some one had thrown some- thing im the window and set the shavings on fire; but during @ subsequent interview, after the onicer had examined the windows and found them per- fectiy secure, Jackson Said that “he did not know how the fire occurred; that he Was sleeping soundly ana did not awaken until tue flames flashed tn his face while lying in the bunk, and 1% was dificult for him to act when first aware Of bis position, being almost stined by the dense | smoke.” The fire was extinguished by tne steam engines, and after that had been omMcer Paul arrested Jackson, deeming tue cir- cumstances of #uch & nature as to war- rant this action. The prisoner when asked What he had to say relative to the charge, asserted that he was entirely innocent and that hia theory of the a of the fire is, that in blowin, out the candie which he used in lighting him to bed, @ spark must have fallen among the shavings scat- tered about the floor and this set the eurrounding ‘wood work ou fire, Jackson is thirty years of age, occupation. Republican Campaign Meeting—Addresses by Stewart L. Woodiord, Isaac H. Bailey and Others. An enthusiastic republican meeting, at which from 1,500 to 2,000 persons were assembled, was held last evening at the Cooper Institute. It purported to have been organized by the republican merchants of New York, and Lieutenant Governor Woodford was invited to deliver an address ‘to the young mer- chants of New York” on the occasion. In addition to the usual campaign derorations of the hall a ban- her was suspended in the rear centre of the stage, having on it the inscription, “The Loyal Merchants of New York.”” The meeting was called to order by James Cush- ing, who nominated Isaac H, Bailey as chairman, and the latter gentleman on being elected made an appropriate address on assuming the duties of the office. A list of vice presidents was then read, and, after some campaign music had been performed by the Union Glee Club, Stewart L, Woodford was introduced to the au- dience and proceeded to address them on the issues ofthe campaign. In the course af his remarks he said that four years ago, when the loyal people, as they are now doing, were discussing the Presidential election, and war was in the land, the democratic party had proclaimed that war a failure, and the republican party on the other hand had declared their fixed and unalterable pur to prosecute the war to a victorious termination. The election of Lincoln followed and was crowned by the subsequent victories in the fleld which crushed the rebeilion. The question then arose, how shall we restore the relation of these States to the federal Union? The people demanded that to them was to be Siyen 9 pottlement of the issues, and it had to be dole by them through their representatives in Congress. Congress prescribed the terms and the peopie now pos to maintain those reconstruclon laws. he rebel State governments had been in ali their parts, from top to bottom, rebel and Confederate. The Union people destroyed by superior force the governments which the peopie of the South had forcibiy established when they themselves destroyed the legitimate governments of those States, and there was then no government leit when both in turn had been overthrown, The power that had finally triumphed was then the power which had the right to restore them to place in the Union they sought to subvert. The national governinent was in the position of an honest man who bad throttled an armed and attacking rufmian, and having got him down had aright to hold him down until he threw away his pistol and promised roper behavior in the future. (Immense cheering.) erring to the democratic argument that the course of radical reconstruction was to subordinate the Southern whites to the Southern negroes, he said there were only four million blacks, and about nine million whites in the South. These whites had as few of the elements of self-government and as many the elements of servi- tude within them as the blacks had, and so far as social equality with the negro was cou- cerned that was a question that would regulate it- self, The only equality conferred upon the negro was the equality of the ballot, and tnere was littie need of apprehension that the negro would clamor for the right to dine at the table his white neigh- bor or demand the hand of his daughter in mar- riage. . If such things, however, did actually resuit the white man had a discretion in the matter, an if it was objectionable to him could decline to ex- tend the privileges demanded. Very much had also been said on the question of which copperheads called the “carpet-baggers.”” It was generally sup- that if a man had not “traps” enough to fill a decent sized trunk he was at liberty to put his prop- erties in carpet-bag, end in this country aman had a right to settle or make his home where he pieased, if these carpet-bage had been taken South were C saireed the first things disclosed would be Union army dis- charge papers. Those carpet-baggers had nearly “all served in the Union army, and their title deeds to the right of settlement in the South were to be Tound in the bones of their comrades left bleaching in the land they had conquered. They also carried with thei the seed that would in time develop into churches, factories and school houses, and when wey went there they went prepared to stay. They logged the South into submission once, and though they were not desirous of the opportunity of doing #0 again oat would do it if it became necessary, In New York and Brooklyn there were now 50.000 Southerners who have come here and settled since the war, some of them with carpet ‘and some without. (Laughter.) The peopie of the North were prepared to welcome them here, to give them equal Chances in the competition for fortune and to make good citizens of them. Further than that, i would give these Southerners U. 8. Grant for Presi- dent and would send other carpev-baggers to the South to fill the places these had left va- cant. If Seymour should be elected it would profit the democracy but little, as the republican party had now even the Senate and House of Representatives and had ly recon- structed eight of the lately rebel States, When Grant should be elected, however, the South would profit by the sense he hgd taught them at Appomattox. In alluding to the question of finance Mr. Woodford said he would not trouble his audience with fearful arrays of figures. He thought the politicians and statisticians had already got themselves in consider- able of a muddle on it and would wait till they got out. The republican party had, however, according to Mr. McCulloch’s figures even, reduced taxation $150,000,000 per year, and had paid off $25,000,000 of the national debt. In conclusion he called upon the loyal people to support the national and State —_ of the republican party in the approaching election. ‘The speaker was followed by Hiram Walbridge tn @ brief address and the meeting adjourned amid great enthusiasm, The Constitutional Union Campaign Club. Last evening the Constitutional Union Campaign Club held a mass meeting near their headquartera, Broadway and Thirty-second street. The attendance was very meagre, and but litle enthusiasm was manifested in the proceedings. Mr. J. R. Voorhis presided and called the meeting to order, after which the secretary read a series of resolutions de- bunciatory of the republican policy. Captain W. J. Bryce was the first speaker. fle said he grected those present in no spiritof despondency, for the Tesult of the elections in three large States Was most encouraging to the democracy of the country, and he was assured that they augured well for the ap- roaching Presidential contest. General W. 't. Nagle was the next-speaker, and in the course of a brief address ailuded to the bright prospects of the democracy. He characterized the attempt to win over the Irwh vote of the cityin sup- rt of the radical cause as @ failure as well as a fraud, and the men who endeavored to encourage uch # proceeding as frande and counterfeita under he pame Of irishinen. Several other short apecches Justice Dodge committed hint to await the action of the Grand Jury, having been delivered the meeting was brougat toa close.

Lewis was unanimously nominated for Congress from this district, Congressional BICHMOND COUNTY POLITICS.

On the shady slope of the road near the Court House some strange looking rurai vehicles and morose looking animais all bespattered with mud were picketed.

The Paterson democracy had a grand turnout at the Opera House on Wednesday night. Speeches were made by Colonel awa Rafferty, Captain John Thompson and John R. Reid, A republican jolcing over the recent elections took place at the Jersey Ulty Wigwam last night, POLITICAL NOTES, The Nation, which has heretofore been rather democratic, says the democracy have now “nothing whatever to hope for except within the limits of this city; even Mr. Hoffman’s defeat, it would seem, is secured by the decisive victory in Pennsylvania, and that no selling out of Mr. Seymour can now give the State to Tammany.” This ia the opinion of only a weekly, however. The National Inteitigencer, on the morning after the late elections, veing disgusted with the bungling manner in which the returns were received, gives them for what they are worth. Their value, how- ever, depended altogether upon the party who received them. The election of General James S. Negley to Con- gress from the Twenty-second Peunsylvania district, puts a good and brave soldier and pure patriot into 4 place filed with Satan’s tempters. The re-election of Hon. Samuel J. Randall to Con- gress from the Firat Pennsylvania district by the plunging majority of over 6,000 shows that he repre- sents @ constituency at once sensible and appre- clative. Why did Tom Florence run for Congress from the Second Pennsylvania district when he knew he must be beaten badly? Poor Tom’s The White House, however, will always give hii arming. Valiandigham’s paper, the Dayton Ledger, was filled with cuts of Irish harps and legends of “Erin- go-bragh” on the morning of the election.

Nowhere has the foolish action of Hampton, Biair and Forest excited more indignation than among the conservative men of the South. Recently a prominent ex-rebel officer expressed the opinion that the South would have been benefitted by the temporary absence of the majority of the Soutnern Jeaders during the present canvass. Itis given out in radical circles that the prob- abilities are that the republicans of Missouri will carry the First Congressional district by 500, the Sec- ond by 7,000, the Third by @ small majority, the Fourth by 5,000, the Fifth by 4,000, the Seventh by 8,000—Total, 24,600.

A party of original carpet-baggers, Italians, de- scendants of Christopher Columbus and followers, celebrated the 876th anniversary of the landing of Coinmbus, in Chicago, on the isth inst.

The meeting of the Protestant Episcopal Board of Missions held last evening in the Church of the Transfiguration, Twenty-ninth street, was one of unusual interest, The Rev. Bishop Atkinson, of North Carolina, who presided, opened the meeting with a very eloquent and appropriate prayer, at the conclusion of which the Rev. Dr. Hill, the veteran missionary from Athens, was introduced. Before proceeding to read his interesting report on the Greek mission the venerable missionary gave a short but graphic sketch of its origin and pro- gress. He said that more than one generation had passed away since he was despatched from this country to establish the mission, and he felt grateful to the Almighty that he has been spared beyond the years allotted by the psalmist to continue his labors and return once more to his native land and report upon the success which had attended them. The standard of the Cross had not been planted on the territory where the crescent glitters as the emblem of the cruel sway of the infidel without great diMficulty and danger, but God had sustained bis servants through all trials and the soldiers of Christ were triumphant, The church- men of England had watched the progress of the American mission in Greece with intense inter- est and had given it every encout ment. The tye in the schools of the mission number 750. ‘he infant school system has been introduced with great success. Several native female teachers have been tramed to assist Mrs. Hill and Miss Muir, the other members of the mis- sion, In addition to the régular expenses of the mission large sums have been expended for benevolent purposes and a large number of tracts have been distributed. The work cannot be allowed to cease or stand still; it must go forward. That which has been done thus far can only be considered a8 prelate The reverend gentleman said he had found it impossible to give full detaiis in his re- ort, but expressed his willingness to furnish such farther information as the committee and those in- terested may desire. For many years bag the mis- sion had been entirely sustained by his own per- sonal exertions. The annual appropriations nad never been sufficient wee Coes cee Jn sum agreed upon, whic! oug! in gold, was paid in currency, and it is impossible that the mission can be on when the small amount provided for its support is subject to the fluctuations of Wall street. In conclusion the Rev. Dr. Hill told his hearers that he came to ask to be relieved of the embarrassments by which he was surrounded, and to be sent back to his ion free from worldly care and able to devote the remaining a ac his life to the cauge in which he had so long a The Rev. Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, then read the report on the moral and temporal con- dition of the Indian tribes on our Western fron- tier, in which he stated that the history of our relations with the Indians from the n- ning to the end 1s such as to make every Ameri- cau biush for shame. For almost three centuries our nation has pursued a policy of extermination at untold expense of blood and treasure. To-day, for- getful of the past, the so-called civilized in tants of the United States are clamoring for the extermina- tion of the red man. The savage has been plun- dered of his lands, cheated and abused in every way, and it is no wonder that now and then, when smart- ing under his wrongs, he blindly scores ven- geance upon the people of the border, The Indian question must be settied on principles of Christianit, or else @ War will come of which our children’s chil- dren will not see the end. Our Indian system is acknowl to be a system of iniquity, but woe to those who are responsible for it Every indian war has. been occasioned by the greed and cruelty of the white man, and yet to-day the press, the army and the peopie, forgetful of God, are madly clamor- ing for @ war of extermination it the “red devils.” A nation which has withiu its borders over half a million graves upon which the grass has not yet grown ought at least to have learned that God is just, and that as we sow so shall we reap. The Eng- lish come of the same soil-grasping Saxon race as ourselves, but in Canada the Indians are well treated and protected. The Indian agents Mere do not re- ceive their appointments in return for questionable political services. Our system is based upon a faise- hood. We make treaties with Indians as with foreign States, but the Indians have no means of compelling us to fulfil our engagements. The bistory of any one of our Indian treaties makes one ashamed and sick at heart. Jn a recent removal of the Chippewas over $20,000 was paid for acontract to suppiy ra- tions, There is no crime of which our red brother cannot accuse us. In sight of the mission house, in sight of # civilized village, an Ind/an woman was violated by fiendish white men. The authorities knew of this outrage, but made no attempt to punish the perpetrators. ‘The report of the reverend bishop contained nu- Merous instances of massacres in coid biood, of frightful atrocities committed upon defenceiess wo- men and children, and of wholesale pillage; and as he dweit upon them in his thrilling, earnest manner, spoke of the awful retribution in store for the guilty ‘and imterceded in behalf of the untutored, sav his audience became deeply moved. Many of the fairer portion bowed their headg and wept, while the male listeners turned restlessly in their seats and could not refrain from giving audible expression to the indignation which had been kindied within them. “it 18 Ad white brothers who sell'us the fire water and who violate our wives and daughters,” said an old chief to Bishop wihipple, “and if you can teach them to do better we will believe in your Goa.” Another chief, whose people were starved after they had been induced to with their lands, said to the commissioner by whom he had been dupea:— “See the bones of my Deople whom you have de- stroyed. I will leave them on the rie, and the ‘day wili come when the Great Spirit will point to them and say, ‘What have you done with your red brother?” No patriot jeader ever stirred the hearts of his countrymen more deeply than Bishop Whipple did the hearts of his hearers last night; and ft ts to be hoped that the resolutions made at the conclusion of his report may be ‘The Kev. Bisuop of Pitteburg moved that Bishop Whipple’s report be printed and distributed througi- out the length and breadth of the land, that we nation might be moved to confess its shame before God and all in ite power to atone for the count- less wrongs and crueities inflicted upon the poor savage.

NiBLO’S GARDEN.—From gay to grave, from lively to severe the transition is easy, and from the most ultra-spectacular and centipedal form of the drama to its highest artistic representation this house has passed by quick stages ereditably, it may be said, for the taste of our people, preserving its popularity in the change. A large audience greeted Edwin For- rest here last evening, being the fourth of his engage- ment, upon the occasion of his appearance as Riche- eu in Bulwer Lytton’s play of that name, Mr. For- rest's rendering of the Cardinal Duke Is one of his best eiforts, showing careful study and bringing into Play his greatest histrionic ability. The representa- tion last night showed no decline of the old power or decadence of dramatic talent which has gained him his deserved reputation, It was chaste, ornate, effective and a success, The physically Weak old man, within whose trembling frame was imprisoned a mind of might and power soaring high above the jittleness around, gleaming at inter- vals in brif_iiant fashes of light through undimmed eyes, and giving strength ana vigor in moments of excitement to tottering limbs, was a living presence on the stage, entrancing the audience and present- ing to them a breathing, moving embodiment of the great minister, Ali the “points,” so familiar in this play to theatre-goers, were given with grand effect, that especially when, after beng humbled and turned from by the King, the orphan Julia, clinging to him for protection, is menaced by Baradas, he huris de- flance at the King’s messenger and threatens to visit the curse of Rome even upon the crowned head of whom would dare approach her. It was a superb tableau, the erect, proud figure of the inal drinly set, both will and power portrayed in each curve of the form and depicted in the haughty coun- tenance and proud lines of the face, the iashing glance of the eye and withering air with which he vegarded Baradas and his confederate, the latier grovelling in dread of the fierce thunders of the Church, that dread power which then, alone, was strong ‘enough to step between innocerice and the kingly ravisier. Mr. Forrest was here loudly ay plauded, and upon fall of the curtain catled the front, when he appeared and bowed his acknowl- edgments. Mr, Forrest's capper’, was excellent throughout, Miss Lillie as Julia interpreting her role in neat and classic style. G, H. Clarke as De Mau- prat, F. Mordaunt as Baradas and J. G. Burnett us Joseph are also aenerring of notice. Of W. FP. Donaldson's Louis we can only give the observation of one of the sovereign Rennie among the audience, Unat It was ‘a very sick » but, then, good enough for a Bourbon.” ‘The rest of the cast was fair. MAN AND THB EarTH,—Professor A. Rohde, as the name appears on his tickets, or Rhode, as it was given in the programme, or Rodde, as it glanced to view through the medium of a transparency out- side—the reader can take whatever road he pleases— undertook to give, last evening at Allemania Hall, in East Sixteenth street, an exhibition of a novel nature. His idea was to popularize geology and astonish his audience with the deeper wonders of this science, as shown in the formation of the earth and the changes through which it passed up to the time of the appearance of man on the stage of ter- restrial existence. A lecture exceedingly well writ- ten was read in connection with the exhibition of a large number of illuminated illustrations on canvas, ‘The Ulustrations were admirable and quite conciu- sive ag setting forth the various theories of the lec- ture as read, which, after all, can only be set down as speculative, though certainly of a very ingenious character; but the whole thing was marred, in fact almost spoiled, by the bad reading. At times the audience got very impatient and showed it by hisses and stamping. How- ever, the reader stimbled on through the four parts of the creation, and those who remained, although failing to understand what had been read to them, were fully compensated in the series of astonishing tableaux displayed on the canvas, First came a representation of chaos, then the formation of the earth as a sphere and the various revolutions through which it passed before the appearance of plants and animals; afver this a farther development o the earth and by cence My eas life; horn the appearance of man, his origin, growth an - tion to the living world, and, lastly, representations of the modern world. Jt is the professor's opinion ‘that this earth has existed millions of years. With the oral part of the exhibition properly recou- structed, the exhibition, which has in it so many elements of popularity, will unquestionably prove @ success in this city, as it has elewhere.
