NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY,- APRIL 24, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET. boat may bring passengers to the city from quarantined ships (for a few dol- lars) and there is no danger; but if a reporter touches the decks of an incoming vessel, beware! Get ready your chlorinating apparatus, fumigate and disinfect with all your might; for, horrible to relate, this man may bring contagion to the town in the folds of his overcoat—his coat is so much more tena- cious of such things than the coats of the Health Officer’s men, or than the passenger's trunk. Why does he have such a ridiculous kind of coat? Because he is a reporter, and rather takes something out of the Health Officer's pocket than puts anything in there... Now, they who declaimed against the bill on this ground neglected to read it, The bill so well provided for the safety of the public health that it made the boarding of ships de- pendent upon the permission of the Board of Health, Against the Board of Health, as a body, no charge of corruption lies. It is quite as competent as any individual to judge of peril to the public from disease, and is a great deal more likely to act from proper mo- tives; and the fact that the Board had this power in the bill unanswerably shows that there was @ sufficient control and that the ‘gathering of news from ships could not do public harm.

We appreciate in its full length and breadth the importance of protecting the CUBA. public from the spread of imported diseases, and especially from the danger that will arise when ships are boarded by reporters, even though the reporters have other kinds of coats. We therefore propose the introduction of a bill something like this, to be first corrected by the lawyers :— The People of ihe Stateof New York, éc.—For the better security of the public health and the more eilectually to carry out the intentions of the act en- titled “An act establishing a quarantine and defini the qualifications, duties and powers of the Healt Ofticer for the harbor and port of New York,” passed April 29, 1863, it is hereby declared that it shall not be lawful for the Health Oficer, referred to in said act, nor for any of his subordinates or employés, or any of the officers or employés of the State, mu- nictpal, county or town governments or corpora- tions, to en; » directly of indirectly, in the busi- ness of gathering for fee pata marine intellt. oy or sbip news in the port and harbor of New ‘SECTION 2—The boats or vessels, or any one of them, which may be in the employ of the Quaran- tine establishment, or in any wise engaged in quar- antine duties, or which are directly or indirectly in charge of or under the supervision of the Health ‘Ofticer, or any of his subordinates or employés, shall not at any ie have on board or convey or trans- po a8 passenger or employé any person whose duty it ig permanently or for the time being to collect or report marine or ship news for publication. ‘ Sec. 3—For every infringement of this act the per- gon offending shall be subject to a fine of filty dol- 4ars, which may be oe foo and collected by any Magistrate in any one of the counties of New York, Kings or Richmond, who may have jurisdiction in enn ie violations of laws which impose like or less alles, Suc. 4—This act shall take effect immediately.

The Closing Scenes in the Senate—The Sprightly Sprague in Danger. The closing day of the late executive session of the Senate was enlivenod, first, by a solemn lecture for the benefit of Sprague from Nye, of Nevada; next by some superfluous endorse- ment of the bravery of General Burnside against the attacks of Sprague, from Abbott, of North Carolina, and Morton, of Indiana; and next by a fiery speech from Sprague, in which he cut and slashed right and left and all around him, like Sheridan in a camp of In- dians, though not with the same cool discrimi- nation. Sprague, in fact, is too fiery, and blazes away, right and left, with too much impetuosity. In this last effort he spoke of the ‘owners and backers” of his colleague, of certain “‘outside barbarians” and ‘‘cutthroats ‘and thieves who infest the stews and slums of the city,” and of ‘the infamous Fisk, Jr.,” (what has Fisk done to incur the wrath of Sprague?) gnd of the “constitution, the constitution,” getting on the Andy Johnson tack, and of “‘parricidal hands,” and how the Senate has been “‘ignominiously and shamefully belittled” by the ruling majority. Moreover, in this rambling rigmarole the fiery Sprague compared the Senator (Nye) of Nevada to “‘a large mas- tiff,” and the Senator from North Carolina (Abbott) to “a mongrel puppy dog barking at his heels,” but which a “kick sent away howl- ing to take.shelter by his larger companion ;” while, as far as the patriotic Sprague himself was concerned, he said that he expected to be ‘persecuted as ‘alternately drunk or crazy.” But this parable of the large mastiff and the puppy dog was @ mlstake on the ‘part e excited Sprague. Abbott, of North Carolina, didn’t like it and couldn’t stand it, So, with the first opening in the wordy fray he pro- ceeded to call the injudicious Sprague toa reckoning; but Sprague was missing, Friends; it was said, had spirited him away. But Abbott was not thus to be baffled, He emphatically said that ‘‘as the Senator has skulked out of the chamber, I intend to have satisfaction outside of this chamber ;” and, though called to order, he repeated the war- like declaration, He did not mean a duel. He meant that the Senator from Rhode Island should make a retraction. “Spank him,” said Senator Nye; and so the apparition of Abbott with a big stick will follow Sprague until they mect and have a settlement.

Giving Way of a State Dam—Property De- stroyed to the Value of $100,000. Urica, April 23, 1869, The State dam at North Lake Reservoir, covering about 500 acres, gave way on Wednesday night and destroyed mills and other property amounting to $100,000, The dam was located about forty miles northeast of Utica. The engineers have frequently reported the dam unsafe, The natural freshet was receding when the dam gave way. ON THE BLACK RIVER, The Freshet Unabated=Immense Damage to Property. WarTERTOWN, April 23, 1869, The flood continues with unabated violence. The scenes of destruction are indescribable. Black River, a place six miles above here, has lost a chair factory, @ sawmill, a dwelling, and an iron bridge costing several thousand dollars, At the upper dam, in Watertown, Mr. Dougherty’s saw mill, Messrs. Wilso & Stewart's wagon ractory and Miser’s tannery, with the fume and bulkhead for all, are swept away, and Remington’s magnifi- cent flume has been loosened from the rock to which it was bolted for over seventy feet. A hole was broken throngh and much damage done to it, They have ancho. it to the shore with strong cables, and hope to hold the timbers from floating out. At the. next dam, below, Bagley & Swell’s iron foundry and machine shop, has Leen assailed with fresh violence. A boom on the upper dam, holding several acres of timber and flood wood which came down the river, broke and swept down thestream, carrying in its destructive course one of the buildings of Bagley & Swell; it broke a huge hole in the under- loning of another, and it is believed will crumble it to pleces. One pier of the railroad bridge on the Ogdensburg branch has been taken out. Lower down on another branch of the river Dougherty’s ES mill has been torn down and swept away, and imball’s barley mill broken into and considerably damaged. Coming down into the city the ruin wrought far- nished a sad spectacle.

HARTFORD, April 23, 1860. ‘The flood in the Connecticut here reached its*high- est point at noon to-day. The water at the time was twenty-six feet eight inches above low water mark, which has been exceeded on only four occastons im seventy years; in 1801, twenty-seven feet eight inches; in 1843, en a feet two inches; in 1864, thirty feet; in twenty-eight feet eight inches. The water is now falling very slowly. Front, Commerce and other streets near the river are flooded and busin several days, ay on tire East Hartford side, 80 that travel on the high- way is 81 nded. The track of the Hartford, Provi- dence and Fishkill Railroad is under water for a short distance, but trains pass regularly. There is no delay in trains on the New York and Boston route via this city. The damage to the causewa: bridge will be about $6,000. The loss to the busi- ness men in the flooded di: will be quite large.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC—JANAUSCHEK’S FAREWELL PERFORMANCE AND BENEFIT.—Janauschek had last night a reat benefit for her farewell perform- ance; for the Academy of Music was full, and in and around the parquet many were content with standing room. The programme of performance embraced four piccos—that is, the first act of Schiller’s “‘Kabale und Liebe” (‘Love and Intrigue’), the first act of Schiller’s “Don Carlos,” the fourth act of Lessing's “Emilia Gallotti” and Elsholz’s “Komm Her" (“Come Here,”’) Theodore Thomas, with his fult and excellent baud, occupied the orchestra and performed between the acts pieces of the choicest music, The entertainment throughout was a rare one, and was well appreciated by the immense audience. Spontaneous bursts of applause were fre- quently heard during the performance, and at the close of each act Janauschek was called before the curtain over and over again. Magnificent bouquets and baskets of flowers were presented amid thunders of applause to the great actress, Seldom has any artist recelved such flattering demonstra- tions, But they were welldeserved, for Januschek, thoagh suffering from tndisposition, raised herself to the highest pitch of dramatic art. She evidently felt inspired by the enthusiasm of her apprecia- tive audience, over which she in turn exer- cised @ magnetic influence. Time will not admit of an extended notice in detail of Janauschek’s acting in the several pioors named, nor ig tt necessary to repeat what frequently been said of the superb performances of this ret extraordinary actress, It is but just vo say, how- ever, at the conclusion of her performances America for the present, that, take her all in all— through the whole range of her Sinema sare neve! ap] ol American st er Bu! rior or erha pa oe heb equal. ‘Bhs has feat enius anda purely classic mind and education. She en- ters fully into the spirit of the characters she repre- sents, does nothing seemingly for stage effect, and impresses all who see her with a sense of reality in her representations. Then, as an elocutionist she is really splendid, Her voice is rich, full and musical, and she understands the beauty and power of language. Some of her pauses, indeed, are more eloquent than words, She might be studied by actors and public speakers as @ model of eloquence. We shall not see her like again very soon. ‘This, ag was said, is her farewell performance, but she will act once more to-night, for a special purpose, for the benefit of the Hebrew free scnool, before her depar- ture for Europe. Though Javauscheck has had two successful seasons in the United States, performin: in nearly every considerable city and town, Nort East and West, and in two or three Southern cities, sbe has not met with the success her great talents deserved, nor that she might have met with had she commenced under different auspices and had her affairs been managed with more skill. Though she was acknowledged in Europe to be the first German actress and occupying as high a rank in her profession in Germany as Ristori did in Italy, and though in the opinion of many critics she stands first in the world as the representative of the classic draina, she came to the United States unannounced and hardly unknown. She had no Strakosch, Grau, Barnum, nor any other skilful manager to herald her with a great flourish of trumpets to excite the pub- lic mind and to keep up the excitement by all the means 80 Well known to such adroit, active and suc- cessful theatrical managers. She had some ar- rangement originally with Mr. Grau, but he fatling to carry it out when he took up Rustori, and she having engaged her company and prepared to come to America, resolved to come at all hazards and be her own manager. She knew nothing of America when she arrived here, and made an arrangement with the mansger of the Academy of Music which did not prove @ good one. She had her own company, and after some time became her own manager. Finally the public began to hear other superb acting, aud then, by the force of her genius alone, she became popular and successful. After the first season she went to Enrope, and re- turned with a new and exceilent company and made a second successful season, whicu now closes. After a short visit to Europe she intends to return again to the United States and to perfect herself unuer the. best masters in the English language, 1th a view to perform in English. ‘This is a great dertaking, and it is to be seen whether she will be successful. No doubt she has resolution, talent and industry enough, but it takes time and practice to acquire a lat thoroughly so as to perform in it. There bare y ee horn te ae Bina amo! lebrated actors in such an undertaking. She ‘dgverves ‘well of the American public for reviv. ing the classic drama in such a splendid style, and she will meet with favor in any future efforts, whether in the English or German language. Broapwa¥Y THEATRE—FAREWELL BENEFIT TO Mr. AND Mas. BARNEY WILLIAMS.—‘‘Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” We might be par- doned for paraphrasing this somewhat, and say some are born to good luck and some achieve good luck, Last evening Mr. Barney Williams opened the performance with Powers’ charming comedy “Born to Good Luck,” appearing in the leading character. While the rollicking Barney was born to good luck last evening—and many times before, by the way—he has during his artistic career, by indus- try and enterprise, achieved the good luck which ap- pears to have been showered so Ilavishiy upon him. The Broadway theatre in a few days will be numbered among the things that have been, and last evening being the last time that Mr. Williams and his charm. ing wife were to appear at the Broadway as claim- ants for popular patronage their friends and ad- mirers asseubled in 1 numbers to show the “Irish Boy” and “Yankee Gal’ that they have secured a lace in the public heart which is at all times Po'pour fort a ood of hearty frien ip chat cann t bé mistaken.

The bill comprised “Born to Good Luck,’ “Customs of the Country,” and “Ireland as it Was,’ and it ts aimost less to say that the per- formances off with undoubted Sree The im- mense audience sent round after round of applause to cheer the merry performers, while the roars of laughter which rung through the building showed that everybody in the audience was as merry as the merry Barney could wish to make them. In addition to the applause and the laughter, Flora’s fairest gifts in most beautiful combinations were showered on the st LF at the feet of the “Yank! ‘¢ blushingly advanced to bow fier acl edgments to the rapturous greeting ‘with which she was met on making her appearance. After the curtain had (gone down on the first piece Mr. Williams was called to the front and, when the applause subsided, spoke as folilows:— DIES AND GENTLEMEN, I call you dear frienteand patrons, onscoh OF dhabhties te, express my sene of the constant favors you have shown Mrs. Wil- nd myself since our frst appearance on the stage, it ie ible for me to retire from this theatre without testify. to you my gratitude.

( Seventeen matinée performances of all kinds and qualities will be given to-day—sixteen at the various theatres in this city and one at the minstrel hail in Brooklyn. ‘This is the largest number of matinées ever before announced for one day in this city, and embraces everything in the way of amusement, from heavy tragedy, opera, burlesque, farce, comedy and pantomime down to minsirelsy and sensational drama, At the Broadway theatre “ihe Fairy Circle’ and “Custom of the Country” will be the attraction, with Mr, and Mrs, Barney Wiliams in the principal roles, This will be the very last matinee that will ever be given at this time-honored establishment, owing to the fact that the theatre is to be converted into fancy stores. At Bovth’s theatre “Othello” will be given, with Mr. Booth as the jealous Moor and Mr. Adams as the intriguing Iago. Next week these gentlemen will reverse their respective réles. “The Tempest’ will rage with all the fury of suc- cess at the Grand Opera House, and an attempt will be made to make it enjoyable by patent thunder and chemical lightning; both “warranted not to kill,’’ “Faust” will be the attraction atthe Academy of Music, with Miss pallogy, in the rdle of Marguerite. ‘This will mark Miss Kellogg’s last appearance in opera in this city. “School” commences at Wallack’s at two o'clock, bt wa oapeen be well attended by fair and eager At Niblo’s the “Forty Thieves” as newly bound in calf is bound to draw a large audience. oF “‘Barbé Bleue,” the too much married individual, will hold a reception this afternoon at the Fifth Avenue theatre.

The bleached blondes at the Waverley will delight their patrons with their imitations of the capers of the notorious “Lucretia Borgia.”” The ‘Seven Dwarfs’ will weave their magic pee and do other seemingly impossible things at the Bowery. Tammany will rejoice for the last time in the warblings of the ‘Horse Marines” and the dumb nonsense of ‘“‘Motber Widale Waddle.” At the eS Robert Macatre-Boniface and Pluto-Lingard will be the great attractions. At Tony Pastor's Opera House “Bill Tell, the Hero of Switzerland,” will assist the popular Tony to re- cetve his friends. The New York Circus will give its last matince to- day. It leaves town on Monday and will not return until late in the fall. The Great European Circus will to-day likewise It will return to give its last matinge in this city. town some time in October. And at Hooley’s, Brooklyn, the ‘Forty Thieves,” as done by the burnt corkonians, will, as heretofore, prove an immense attraction. The above named matin¢es for one day ought cer- tainly to prove suMcient in number and variety to satisfy the most exacting playgoer. Should the weather prove propitious there will doubtiess be a grand display of beauty and fashion in attendance at each of the theatres. Miss Kate Fisher-Mazeppa and her horse have ar- rived in town.

BvENOS Ayres, March 14, 1869, The enterprises favoring peace and progress are carried on under the skilful management of Presi- dent Sarmiento, who is tireless in his efforts to re- form and improve the country. The National Ex- position at Cordoba for April, 1870, promises to be an important affair. The new telegraph line to Rosario, about ninety leagues inland, and on the Paran4 river, is now com- pleted. Another line from Rosario towards Cordoba extends now over 150 miles, and a ays- tem has just been announced under a na- tional decree for carrying lines of telegraph through the three nearest provinces, crossing them, binding them together and to the gapital, Buenos Ayres. The Central Argentine Railroad, connecting Rosario with Cordoba, a distance of 247 miles by rail, is in thorough order for 160 mules, to Villa Nueva. There are two trains, one each way, daily, and the old bullock carts are falling hehind. During the month of December, 1868, the increased income from the trafic was $30,000, gold, greater than dur- ing the same month of the previous year. The com- pany own a grant of land six miles wide the whole route, through the middle of which the railroad Tuns, Itis the greatest enterprise and will make the richest company in South America. The legal selzur es and sales of merchandise from Paraguay, of every exportable kind, has called the attention of the national government, and the sale or transfer of such goods is forbidden until the real ownership is proved. As soon as the decree was issued 3,000 hides were embargoed, and next day a cargo of tobacco, tea and hides shared the same fate, and the next 11,000 hides.
