and one republican. The indications are that the new delegation will present the same front, while the republican majority in the Legisla- ture, last year twenty-three on joint ballot, will be reduced on account of the negro suf- frage question. We do not hear that the re- publicans expect to carry their candidate for Governor. No doubt they will be willing to “swap” him off again for the purpose of re- taining their majority in the Legislature. It will, therefore, soon be ascertained whether the people of Connecticut are sincere in their opposition to negro suffrage or whether they are ready to barter that principle, as they do their wooden nutmegs, for something else. Whe Broadway, Fifth and Madison Avenue Railroad, The bill before the State Legislature for laying @ railroad through Broadway, Fifth and Madi- gon avenues is moving gradually but surely toward consummation during the present ses- sion. The plan is to gobble up our main thoroughfare—Broadway—and our two prin- cipal avenues—Fifth and Madison—for the benefit of Senators Tweed and Bradley, and Peter B. Sweeny, James Fisk, Jr., and Jay Gould, of the Erie gang. Thus it is that Tammany and Erie go hand in hand, and, aided by Judges Barnard, Cardozo, McCunn end other city judges, the chances of property owners seem rather slim, The scheme, as is well understood, presents twenty thousand dollars to each of twenty-two Senators for their votes—that number being required to pass the outrage over the Gover- nor’s veto—Mr. Hoffman, it being as well understood, not being expected to sign such a monster of iniquity. He looks for something ahead and must maintain his character, as he @oubtless is pleased todo. Not so with the Senators whose terms expire with this session. The majority of them are well known to be openly in the lobby market, and it is supposed to be easy to add to theirs the few more votes to secure the necessary two-thirds to override any veto. A ring within the Senate Railroad Committee is expected to report in favor of this great plundering measure in a few days, and then we shall be able to see the names of ‘those who consider twenty thousand dollars as @ fair price for infamy in the future. It is ex- pected that a ring of four members in the As- sembly committee will be easily secured for the measure, As the case stands now there is every probability that our citizens will wake up some fine morning to find Broadway, Fifth and Madison avenues gridironed for the benefit of Tammany and Erie, Sweeny, Tweed, Brad- dey, Fisk, Gould and Company. e: ‘The Duty of Congress in the Cuba Question. Congress must take some action before it adjourns in the matter of clothing the Presi- dent with discretionary powers regarding Cuba. The high-handed course which the Spanish government there is pursuing under. dictation ofthe blind passion of the Spanish volunteers is an outrage upon the common eense of the whole world, and, if not brought toaome sense of propriety by external pres- sure, it will result in some bloody and out- rageous event that will awaken an outburst of |: popular sentiment in this country surpassed only by that which followed the firing upon Fort Sumter. If Congress adjourns without granting discretionary powers to the President in regard to recognizing the belligerent rights of Cuba it will be taken by these mad volun- teers asa tacit sanction of their violent and bloody practices, and place every American life and every dollar of American treasure in or near Cuba in imminent danger. We trust to Admirals Porter and Hoff to right the wrong in the case of the brig Mary Loweli; but we need something more than executive action. Our legislative branch must show that it is inspired by a truly Ameri- can spirit. We have shown the haste ex- hibited by Spain in recognizing the bellige- rent rights of the Confederates, and the zeal of the colonial authorities in supplying blockade ruoners with arms and munitions, What's @auce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and it is time for Congress to act in this matter of the Cuba question. — The German Stage in New York, The cosmopolitan character of New York is peculiarly manifest in the great variety of its theatrical ,entertainments. Within a few past years the stage of almost every country hassent representatives here. French, Italian, Span- ish and even Chinese and Japanese, as well as English and German companies, have per- formed at our theatres. Fora long time the United States remained in a condition of co- lonial dependence on the English stage, and nearly all of its celebrities have been welcomed on this side of the Atlantic, The queens of the French and the Italian stage—Rachel and Ristori—have shone as stars of first magnitude in our American theatrical firmament. Our very large and rapidly increasing German population has made the German stage become already a permanent institution in all our great cities. At present Janauschek, at the Academy of Music, and Haase, at the Stadt theatre, are rivalling former triumphs of Dawi- son in New York. Haase is a master of detail in the expression of human emotions, and if in his delineations of the heroic features of human nature he does not reach the height of a Dawison, a Dessoir or a Devrient, in his de- lineations of its softer features he undoubtedly surpasses them. Janauschek is so justifiably con(dent in her splendid dramatic powers that she does not hesitate to challenge direct com- parison with Ristori herself in Giacometti’s his- torical play of ‘Elizabeth, Queen of England.” She will appear again in that play on Friday evening, and in Mosenthal’s “Deborah” to- night. Tar Astor Linrary AssessMENntT.—On Mon- day a petition was received by the Board of Aldermen from Astor Library asking for a donation of five hundred and thirty-seven dol- lars tg pay an assessment. Now the Astor Library is 9 munificent private gift to the pub- lic, Itisa public educational institution of the highest order. It is not a money-making but a philanthropic institution, If the churches may obtain donations from the Board of Alder- men to pay assessments, we do not see any good reason for relusing the petition of Astor Library. At the same time, such petitions might come witha better grace if both the churches and the Astor Library were not ob- noxious to complaint—the ch reves for opens fing only on Sunday, sud the Corer for Opening on Su:t never | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY MARCH 831, 1869—QUADRUPLE SHEET. Another Batch of Telegraph Bills. We have before us another lot of telegraph propositions which have been brought forward for the inspection of our august Congress. One, presented by Mr. Conkling, appears to bes first class job of no small proportions. Then Mr. Corbett sticks in his bill for an exclusive right to land cables on the Pacific coast for fourieen years. In other words, to land a cable a half inch in diameter he wants the whole Pacific coast of the United States to do itin, How contracted the Pacific shore must be! Then Mr, Cole sticks in his little bill. Sec- tion three of this is excessively modest. It says :—‘‘In order to aid and encourage the sald international telegraph cable communication between the United States and China, across and under the Pacific Ocean, there is hereby granted to the aforesaid company, for the purpose of constructing, operating and main- taining said telegraph cable or cables and lines, three sections of any unappropriated public lands for each and every mile of tele- graph cable or line that may be constructed under this act.” Splendid telegraph line, only three sections wide! wire three miles thick to one mile long! What an electric shock that will give old Mother Earth!. Then Mr. Ramsay presents his bill to facili- tate communication with Europe, which simply asks to be permitted to lay the cable of the “American Atlantic Cable Telegraph Com- pany” by any practicable route to Europe. Among our telegraphic troubles we find that the monopolists are attempting to defeat the French company from landing their cable on our shores. We are pleased to observe that Senator Stockton is opposing these monopo- lists. We want as many cables as possible between us and Europe, and there should be no restrictions placed upon our coast line by any State or any corporation, or by the general government. Topsy Torvy.—A Boston paper boasts of its new building, new presses, new type, new everything. One thing is decidedly new, an invention which it would be well for other newspaper proprietors to look into. The paper is a folio sheet. You take the right hand corner in your left hand, twist the sheet open, go down the lines, with columns in marching order, wheel according to Hoe’s latest tactics, with your colors in ink, by the right flank. Suddenly you find your lines broken, your squares smashed, your spaces all bottom up; in short, an essential squabble. You endeavor to rally, but the more you rally the more you squabble; but by a dexterous right shoulder shift movement, executed with some danger to your comrade’s nose, you are all right again. The patent for this extraordinary invention is not yet out; but a caveat is in the hands of General Butler, who only awaits the recovery of General Grant to put it through. The government, you know, may be topsy turvy aome day, and it will be handy to have this invention in the White House. BAL D°OPERA. A thoroughly characteristic Easter festival was given at the Academy of Music last night. It waa the first celebration of the return of the Terpsicho- rean season after those gloomy Lenten days when people went to the same building as they did to the churches to do penance for their manifold trans- gressions. Although intended to be a bal masqué the fancy costumes were but few and far between. Even- ing dress prevailed, and a few venturesome clowns whoelbowed tneir way through the brilliant throng looked sad and melancholy in their parti-colored costume. A magnificent orchestra under the com- mand of J. M. Lander dispensed the usual m‘lange of dance music from the family circle. Over the glittering human sea which ebbed and flowed tm response to their cadences, floated the strains of Strauss, the ubiquitous Offenbacn and the lords of Italian opera. A promenade band was rather sombre tn its selections, regaling the amusement seekers with such Inspiring pieces as Schubert's “Serenade,” the priests march from “Athalla,” and a“Trovatore” fantasia. Still everything was very jolly, tf the créme de la créme will permitus to use the expressign, and towards imia- night every eye was" bright with enjoyment. Some of the richest and most elegant toilets were in the boxes. Mrs. Barney Williams, in a rich green satin robe, trimmed with black lace, pamer formed of @ Wreath of flowers and a parure of emeralds and diamonds, was prominent in one of the balcony the floor were some very elegant toflets, one of striped satin and silk, with gieen parucularly handsome. Another costume, Which, We are gorry to say, an utter absence of taste, attracted much attention. It was a white corded silk, com- pleteiy envelo} ered = with Spots su) represent cards, thin, ne what @ country belle would light at a fair.

With a few ve 4 tons like these Madame Fashion reigned wi ee oy sway. A few pages were present, some of whom made a compromise by throwing a domino over their scantily clad limbs, and drawing the hood closely Nina their blonde and otherwise tresses, The variety of spring styies, which we fully described in our fashion opening articie last week, was kaleidoscoped in the eye cf the gazer from the balcony boxes. Miss from Nibio's, wore the superb white and Iilac robe which was so us at the Charity Bail, J— nodded a high Normandy cap to ber Numerous admirers. There were several other remarkable toilets which our time and space will not permit us to describe.

The Pro Rata Freight Bill—Senator Hale on a Question of Privilege—Castigation of Horace Greeley~The Bill to Suppress Legislative Corruption. ALBANY, March 29, 1869. The pro rata railroad freight bill will be before the Senate committee this evening; so also, it is ex- pected, will Commodore Vanderbilt, who is here to oppose the bill, it being @ biow at monopoly, and therefore inimical to him. Never, perhaps, did an individual get a more scathing rebuke upon the floor of 4 legislative body than Horace Greeley received from Senator Hale to- day. The offence which the Senator resented with such cutting eloquence was contained in an article of the 7itoude attacking the Senate Committee on Bribery and Corruption, of which he was ee man. ‘The Senator ciatmed as a rivil to defend himself, his colleagues of the com- mittee and the Senators from the cowardly, false and malignant assault contained in the articie referred to. e language in which the castigation was inflicted was not unparitamentary, although the manaer of the speaker Was intense, earnest aud sarcastic. In fact, When compared with the tone of the article which produced the reply, the speech was a very model of moderation. Senator Hale denied the right of Greeley, who was a witness before the commiitee, and had to admit that the | slander which he had previously published upon certain Senators was based dence afterwards proved to be mere ru- mor, should charge upon the committee an attempt to conceal or ignore portious of this testimony, and in general terms pronounce not only the committee, but the Senate, ty of State Prison crimes. He called it a cowardly attack made from the safe seclusion of tie editor's sanctum. Mr. Hale's defence was very able and commanded the attention of the Senate, and quite a wget naimber or the members of the Assembly, who seals on the floor to hear the epee. ‘The lobbies also were crowded, many ladies being present. Browne, ‘of the Rochester Democrat, came in for no small share of the rebuke, his evidence and his articles being neatly handied by Senator Hate, and a strong tasinuation thrown out that his testimony before the committee did not uite exonerate him from the charge of Jay Gould that he had indirectly received money to lobby the Ene bill through last session. The bill providing for more stringent rules regard- ing iegisialive corrupton progressed considerably, burt did not come to a vote. This bill was intro- dueed by Senator Hale as an accompaniment to the report of the committee which Greeley and Browne pitched into. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. SENATE. ALBANY, N.
