Boston, August 29, 1869. ‘The political situation in Massachusetts 1s rapidly assuming shape, and in a few weeks the ball wiil be in motion. The contest will be an exciting and tri- angular one, at all events—a repetition of the 1867 campaign, only a little more 80. In fact, the canvass will be one of more than ordinary interest. The day of smooth republican victories in this State is past, or at least until the social questions which have be- come mixed with our politics are cast out and made to remain in their proper sphere. The liquor ques- tion and the labor question act like so much yeast to keep both the political parties in a continual ferment, Neither party in the past has had the moral courage to suckle either of the ‘‘issnes,” and neithe - one nor the other interest has been or \8 now stro’ ig enough of itself to go it alone. The republican p? rty being in @ large majority—large enough 10 ¢ jyer- shadow everything in the shape of political 0° pposi- tiou—ought to have prevented all the fierce F trife of conficting interests now going on, instead of playing at the game of shuttlecock, and if it coud expen- ence one good sound whipping the m¢ral effect ‘epon its members would be excellent. A complete network of secret organiz? tions covers the State. These are the “Sons of Libeorty,” the «P, L. L.,” the “Republican Union League,’ the various organizations that give vitality to fhe prohibitory party, and the labor organization’, chief among which is the Order of St. Crispin, {he “5, 0. L.' is composed about equally of reputviicans and demo- crats. The “P. L. L.,” which made such sad havec in the ranks of the dominant party in 15867, is a sort 0} central body of the auti-pronioitory idea, founded on the principles of license, and it affords life and vitality to the “S. U. L.” satellite, The “Union Republican League’ is @ thorough republi- ean orgaaization, opposed to prohibition, but composed of men who always have veen true to the best interests of that party. It ia rather conservative than o(herwise. In the address of the “League” they say that the attempt of the Jeaders of protiibition to force on the republican party the adoption of “prohibition” as a part of its piatiorm not only meets with their ungqualitied dis- sent, but that the spirit of that law is opposed to human riguts and should be removed irom the statute book. The “Leag' is mindful that the re- enacting of the pronibiiory law by a strict party vote in the last Legisiacure gives color to the claim that this measure is ROW a part of the republican policy, and therefore it is that they urge upon every beral and cunservauve repub.ican to unite to have the dogma of prolibition repudiated by the next Kepubiican State Convention, The temperance people will attempt to control the next repub! convention, and thus it 1s that the “U. HL.” pro- pose to offset that effort by looking after the caucuses and primary meetings that select delegates to it. ‘This * League’ will be a power in the large towns and cities where republican majorities most do pre- vail, In the small towns, where the farmers with their cider predominate, the secret organizations designed to smash prohibition will be of no ac- count. ‘Tue Jabor reform party in Massachusetts is assum- ing large proportions. Not oaly the men but the women are working in 1fand for it; but although the latter cannot vote tuey Lave their organizations, and must influence their nusvands or male friends more or jess in the matter of political action. The leading Jabor organization is the Crispin. Good authority States Uhal It ROW Numbers 52,000 members—amply suMicient to hold the balance of power if skilfully managed. Its leaders are intelligent and rising men. They can talk as well as work. They cao plan and figure with all the shrewduess of o!d poli- Ticlans; but whether they wili use their power in the right direction remains to be seen. Lu the city ot Lynn the Crispins are bumericaliy strong enough to carry the city at an election. The same muy be gaid of every other boot or shoe manufacturing town of aby importance. And these Cris- ins have no particular love for either po- tical party, though most of them usually vote the republican ticket upon national issues. They hate Governor Clafin, the king of shoe dealers, be- pause he sympathized with the men at the State ouse last winter who voted against giving them a- charter of incorporation. It isa cardinal principle with the Crispins that labor, as weil as capital, has &@ Tight to be iacorporated; and tne) gnrend to £9 into ie canvass on that issue, and Vote Tor Ho fa or men who are opposed to granting lavor corpo- rate rights, If republicans who may be nomimated are not up to their staudard they will nominace men irom the workshop or vote for democrats, The recent State Labor Ketorm Convention held here was a Crispia movement from beginning to end. A majority of the delegates smelled of leather. A majority of the State Ceutral Committee are Or pibs, and this order, being tae strongest, is e Gently designed for a central poiat around which the other trade organizations will revolve. The labor movement in Massachuselis is so well organized that there 13 a sort Of freemasonry existing among ail trades that have a@ny organization jor politicui purposes. But the experience of the past has ae- monsimMied that tae Workingmen generally vote one ucket or the other, instead of voting on the side of a party of theirown creation, This fall, uowever, it Will depend a good deal upon the action of the Re- pudlican State Convention at Worcester as to how ibe workingimen Vote, lor they have had 80 many queetings and 80 Many Conventions during the past aix months, and made so many threats and found so much fault with both the republicans and democrats tuat It seems as Jf they do not mean boys’ play; they will for ounce in thetr lives act like mea and do us they have resolved to do over ani over again. ‘ine democratic party is Dopetul. 11s tenure upon Nie 18 remarkabie.

There are many democrats who are in favor of restricting the suie of intoxicating liquors, but who prefer from principle the license system to prolibi- tion, ‘There are also scores of republicans who be- lieve the same way, and they are disposed to frater- nize with anybody to get rid of what they call an obnoxious aud unpopular jaw.

THE WESTERN STATES. The Capital of the United Statee—Progress in the West—The Mirsissippi Valley Commer- cial Convention—Railroad Fever Unabated— State Faire—General News. Quincy, Ill, August 25, 1969, Progress is the watchword all over the West just now, and in these wolully “hard times” it almost seems a novelty to find so much enthusiasm as at present exists in the commercial interests of the country from the valley of the Mississippi away on to the Pacific coast. Hard times can be found ln- gering about in every city, village and hamlet in the West, but talk about it and you are promptly met with “Oh, yes, that’s 80; these ere terribly hard times, but when our railroad 18 completed then times will get better.” Western people as @ class can stand hard times about as well as any other people on the face of the globe. If a Western farmer has not the requisie stamps to pay his freight on grain to @ good market he can haul it to the nearest stream, rig up @ fatboat ang float away quite independent to where a good mar- ket can be found. He is an independent fellow, that live Western man. ‘They have How asmail contract ahead to remove the capital somewhere out in the great Missiasippt valley, and already half @ dozen rivai cities are at loggerheads as to which shali be the exact point.

Quincy thinks nature intended it for that point, and tnere is nota re- Spectable sized village along the upper Mississippi but what has some pretension. When it comes out West we will let you know.

You hear of railroads in every direction through Missouri, and Kansas and Nebras- Ka are, comparatively speaking, wild with excite- ment ou the question. In the latter State they are pushing one rapidly out to that prairie town where they have located the new capital (Lincoln) and thence on to tap the Union Pacitic road. Four other lines are hurrying their Way to tap the same road at diferent points, The season of State fairs will soon be upon us of the West, with its array of fine stock, farm imple- ments, excellent grain and all that go towards the make-up of first class fairs, fowa holds hers at Keokuk, commencing oD the 14th proximo, and every preparation is being made for having the best ever heid in thatState. The Illinois State Fair meets this aud next year at Decatur, and the promuse is fair for a big success. The Mississippi Valley Fair commences here on the 20th proximo, and lasts one week. Racing will be the principal feature. Gold- smith Maid and American Girl, besides # number of other excellent animals, are to be here, and a lively ume is anticipated among turfmen. The weather is very hot, the thermometer varying from 96 degrees to 105 in the shade. Crops gener- ally throughout the West are far better than any, previous year. Apples plenty; peaches very scarce. Choice wheat here is quoted @t $125 per bushel; 88c, a 40c.; corn, 75c. a 80c. There is consider- sickness in every direction around us. More Se Sqr THE FRENCH STAGE.

Panis, August 12, 1869, There are some people who, fortunately for dra- matists, must go to the theatre in all seasons. The degrees of heat and cold may be climbing up and coming down the thermometer like the angels on Jacob’s ladder; it does not matter. Be tt rain, frost or fog; whether it nau, biow or “sweat,” as a German lady once expressed the temperature of a concert hall to me, proviacials wil come up to Paris for a pantomime or a /verte, and these summer holidays are to be fa vored with two new ones, the ‘“Chatte Blanche’ at the Gaité on the 14th inst., and ‘Perlimpinpin”’ at the Cuatelet in the first days of September. In the former the grand attraction will be Thérésa, who is to sing seven or elght pieces, besides duets and songs written expressly for ner voice by M. Jonas, for which undertaking he was peculiarly weil fitted, having a class at the Conservatoire for the perfection of brass instrumentalists, ‘The hundredth performance of “Petit Faust’? by Hervé at the Folies Dramatiques was the occasion of agrand fete. Bianche d'Antigny has had to give up the part of Marguerite to Mile. Claudea, who 18 quite as blonde and sings much better.

Hervé loosened it and offered it to Mile, Ciaudea, saying, half turned towards the public aud with inimitabie droilery, “the two make a pair.’ The editor of “Petit Faust,’ M. Heugel, has already paid the following sums to Hervé, Crémieux and Janies:;—On the day of the first performance 6,000 francs, on the occasion of the hundredth 6,000 and the 125th 2,000 more. This copyright tax 1s quite an income in ttseif, It is not probavie that either Herve or Faure, who both began life aw choristers, in scariet skull caps and white robes, would have found the Church so Incrative, Herve is in private life a very different character to what fancy would picture.

LONDON, August 10, 1869, ‘The London season is over; Parliament is about to be prorogued; the metropolis is deserted by the fashionables and the theatres have fallen tnto the sere and yellow Of summer. Many of the places of amusement are closed, and, with the exception of the Prince of Wales’ and Drury Lane, the rest mignt almost as well ve closed for all the benefits they con- fer elther upon the public or the managers. Still a few interesting items of news and gossip may be picked up by your correspondent as he strolls before and behind the curtains. Let us commence with @ marriage. On Sat- urday last Mr. W. H. Kendal, the light come- dian of the Haymarket theatre, was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Madge Robertson, the sister of Mr. T. W. Robertson, the dramatist. The affair would seem to have been rather premature; for the wedding took Place at Manchester, wnere the Haymarket com- pany are now starring, and no time was afforded the happy pair for the soft endearments of the honeymoon. They were married on Saturday morn- ing; they played together as Rosalind and Orlando in the evening, and they were announced in another old comedy for Monday. This conmbination of busi- ness and pleasure is quite characteristic of this fast age. As I predicted, Boucicault’s new drama, called “Formosa,” has been a success at Drury Lane. Bets of ten to one are made, however, that it will not run unti! December. I have already sent you the plot of the drama in advance of its production. The last scene, realizing the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, 18 very badly managed here. Instead of real boats Manned by men to give effect to the scene, like the real horse in “Flying Scua,”’ we have paste- board boats and pasteboard crews, very badly worked and not at all impressive. Doubtless this scene will be better done in New York. The papers ridicule the absurdities of the drama; but what drama, seriously considered, is not absurd? Bouci- cault can afford to laugh at tose people who write letters to the journals exposing his ignorance of training and its rules. These letters only advertise the play. As for the allegations made in some juarters that one scene of the play is very immoral, these, of course, only assure its success. There Is nothing that the public likes so much as dramatic immo! “ee In striking contrast to ‘Formosa’ is the other theatrical success of the present dull season, viz., “School,” at the Prince of Wales’. Those who have not seen this comedy at this theatre have missed the perfection of English acting. We have in America no such actress as Miss Marie Wilton since poor Mary Gannon is dead, and such actors in their several lines as Messrs. Ban- croft, Montague and Hare are entirely unrivalled in whe United States. If England were to send over such artists a8 tlese, instead of burlesque dancers, with voices of “vocal veivet,”” Americans would form a much more just judgment of her dramatic resourcea, The revival of Handel’s ‘‘Acis and Galatea,” at the Princess’ theatre, cannot possibly be regarded as anything but a managerial error. The opera cannot be @ success. Manager Vining has pl it upon the stage with that magnificent scenery for which the Princess’ is famous, The opening scene—the moonlit sea beating upon the beach—is almost un- surpasgable. Lloyds aud Teibin, both excellent painters, have bad the advantage of Stansfield’s original sketehes in composing the scenes, The opera is also well sung. Miss Blanche Cole, Herr Formes, Vernon Rigby and Montem Smith—the two best English tenors aiter Sims Reeves—do all that can be done with the music, and the choruses and ballet are very fine. But in spite of splendid scenery and good singing ‘‘Acis and Galatea” is dull, very dull. The music is antiquated, out of date, old fashioned vo modern ears. ‘To hear it is like listening to an old harpsichord after a grand piano, Pleasing as it may be to professional musicians, it is caviare vo the mul- titude. Better one tune from the “Grand Duchess” than the whole of ‘Acis and Galatea,” cry the crowd, The crowd may be wrong; but tf they are not pleased they keep their money out of the mana- ger’s pockets. 80 let no American manager venture vo burn his fingers, as Mr. Vining has done, with “Acis and Galatea.’ A very strauge bit of gossip is floating about the coulisses. YOu may remember that, about two months ago, & Woman was found lying beside the railroad track, on the Midland line, near Hendon, which 13 not many miles from London, When first discovered this Woman was insensible and utterly unable to give any account of how she came in that situation. In this comatose state she has remained ever since, with brief intervals of seml-consciousness, Upon being taken to the hos- pital and examined by the surgeons it was dis- covered that she had been foully violated, and that the person who had committed the crime had pro- bably thrown her out of the carriage im the hope tuat she would be killed by the fall. ‘These facts have been published in the newspapers, which furnish us, every few days, with some accounts of the girl's condition and her slow progress towards recovery. Now comes the singular part of this strange story, It is satd that in her ravings— Tor she is Bot yet able to peak connectediy—the girl mentions only one name, and that is the name of a gentieman closely identified with the London thea- tres, It ig also stated that, immediately upon the ‘act becoming known, & gentleman closely identified with the London theatres found tt necessary to leave suduenly for France, without stopping to bid adieu to his triend#, Put this and that together and you have @ very pretty scandal. Of course names—or rather 4 naine—may be prominently mentioned, but it Would not be fair to put it in print, Doubtless the iri will be able to speak In @ fortnight and then the inyatery will be cleared up. { told you some time ago that the summer season atthe Haymarket tieatre was a failure. It was so great a faliure that the manager closed the doors 4nd refused to pay salaries, Mr, Sol Smith was the only American actor who suffered by this contre teins. Iv seems quite useless to keep on telling American actors that they had better atay at home. The chances are one hundred to one against any of them securing engagements im the reguiar London companies, and if they join these summer troupes, as tue most of them do, they only loge their money and attract ho attention whatever from the public, the critics or the regular 1 4 agers, Some Ameri- cab actors like Mr, J. S. Clarke have money enough to take a theatre or purchase at appearance, but even that does not pay. One-quar- ter of the investment would have fis juced doubie the fame and promt at home. Without @ regular en- qagerment signed and sealed with @ firat class Lon- jon manager no American actor ought to come here to periorm. To depend upon securing an engaj ment after he arrives here is to lean upon the we: est of broken reeds. An american reputation ts not worth @ penny in the English market.

A REMARKABLE CRIME ON A SOUND STEAMER. A Man Dragged, Robbed and Thrown Over- ‘When the propeller Delaware, Captain Smith,of the independent line between Norwich and New York, hi from New York on Friday night, and was abot milesjeast of Sands’ Point, the captain heard @ {aims voice of some one in distress. He immediately stopped the steamer and called the watch below. No vessel wasin sight, and nothing could be seen in the darkness, but the voice was again heard, somewhat plainer, calling for “nelp.’? A boat was i peceel tly lowered and pulled in the di- rection of voice, and after proceeding a short distance came upon @ man in the water, who was taken on board the steamer. He was entirely naked, with the exception of his shirt, and almost ex- hausted. When he had sufficiently recovered he was put to bed, and landed at New London on Bai urday morning and taken to the almshouse. He gre his name as Richard Hecker, and related the lollowing to the reporter of the Norwich Bulletin: — I left New York Friday afternoon, on the steamer Colony, bound to Hoston.” Just before lenving T was mecosted M4 two men who were going onthe same boat. They in- vited me to take drink with them, which I did, and I also auked them to drink with me, At this time I think they muat have seen my money, wi T had ti amounting to Atty-fve dollars, "In the ‘evening Thad saint recollection of some perso: old or more off, but the tide kept must iting me back and Thad made up my mind that T nally be drowned, when I saw the light of the steam ware, I judged a mite off,and coming toward me. I ma: ‘as near her as possible, and when my vicinity I calied for help again and again as lou possible, but my atren, should not be heard, voice was heard by Captain Smith, who {mmediately sent a Doat to my relief, and I was brought on board of the steamer and kindly cared'for. Ithink 1 was in the water about an hour and a half. Mr. Hecker was confined to his bed all day Satur- day, but wiil probably be out in a day or two. He says he has been @ clerk in a drugstore in New York, and has also been employed in the same buai- ness in Boston. He served three years in the war and was hospital steward in the Fifty-fifth Massa- chusetts regiment, SHIPPING NEWS.

The last of the fleet of ten gunboats built by Messrs © & R Poillon for the Spanish government will be launched from their shipyard, foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, this after Noon, at3o'clock. This announcement will no doubt cause the attendance of an immense number of people for the oc easton. The keel of the firstof these vessels was ald on May 19, and she was launched on the 26th of June, and since the latter date one gunboat every week has been turned out. This expeditiod may well be termed extraordinary. The central one of the screw docks, near the foot of Market slip, bas on ft one of the above boats, which is having @ pro- peller put on her, ‘The balance dry dock, foot of Pike slip, holds the Union ferry boat Baltio, receiving general repairs. The Hudson River steamboat Nubpa (propeller) ison the mammoth balance dry dock adjoining the above for calking and refastening purposes. She was formerly the sidewheel steamboat Berkshire, burned some time ago on the Hudson, occasioning loss of life, ‘The propeller Nereus, of the Neptune line, ison the great sectional dry dock near the foot of Rutgers slip, having her ‘wheel adjusted and bottom painted, The {ron steamer Lodona, 666 tons, built at Hull, England, in 1862, and belonging to Mesara Jewett & Sons, of this city, ia being painted, ‘The brig Volant, 244 tons, is on the People's dry dock, foot of Gouverneur street, being calked and painted. A canal boat is being calked on the Norris & Townsend dry dock, adjoining the above. The steamer City of Mexico, 1200 tons, belonging to Messrs F Alexandre & Sons, of this city, and running in thelr Vera Cruz hne, is on the mammoth sectional dry dock at Hoboken, having her whee! adjusted, Although but comparatively little work 18 vow afforded workingmen by the dry docks, yet a spurt which {s occasion- ally had exhibits the great scarcity of calkers. This Is ac- counted for by the statement that quite 9800 of them are at prosent employed in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Marine Disasters.
