VIRGINIA. Singular Order from Gencral Canby—The Baltimore and Obio Monopoly Secking to Control the Virginia HKailroads. RicnMonp, Oct. 11, 1869, General Canby to-day issued this very singular order:— GENERAL OLDERS NO. 119. HEAvQuantens Frust MILITARY DisTRIOT, STAVE OF VIRGINIA, RICUMOND, Oct, 11, 1869. All appointments of proxies or directors to represent the stock held by or on behalf of the State of Virginia in any company which are provided to be made by sections 17, 15, 20 and 23 of chapier 66 of the code of Virginia, will be post- poned until r the constitution ratified by the people of the State at the election held on the tt day of July, 1869, shail have been approved by the Congress of the United States the government to be organized duly inaugi ‘et Major General CANBY. mp, Acting Assistant Adju- tunt General. This order has been variously interpreted here, some thinking it continues the present ratiroad organizations as they now exist, and that it merely duspenseas with the usual annual elections in Novem- ber. Those familiar, however, with the feud between General Mahone and ex-Governor Wells, believe it to be a plot to oust Mahone from tne presidency of the consolidated railroads between Norfolk and Bristol, Teun. It is & virtual reappointment of the old Wells proxies and directors, Who are known to be inimical to Mahone, The law requires that elections be heid annually, and these proxies held over and act until their euc- cessors are appointed. General Canby has, by this high-banded measure, taken the appointment of the proxies out of the hands of the Board of Public Works, of which Governor Walker is the President, well knowing that the Board would have appointed proxies iriendly to the re-election of Mahoue and the interest of the consolidated line. Many recognize in the movement the handywork of the Balumore and Ohto Railroad monopoiy, which by breaking up the consolidation will secure @ con- nection with the Virginia and Tennesgeo road at Lynchburg, through the Orange and Alexandria road, and thus draw off the trade of the West from Noriolk to Baltimore. Furthermore, it is a direct and wanton insult to Governor Walker, to whom the appointment of the proxies properly belongs. PENNSYLVANIA. The Case of the Brooke Assassins—Writ of Habens Corpus Refused. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11, 1869. In the Quarter Sessions this morning the Brooks case came up at the instance of the District Attor- ney, and‘by order of Judge Ludlow prisoners Dono- hue, Marra and Eagan were brought into court by the Sheriff to be arraigned. Their counsel learning this, at once took out a writ Of habeas corpus for the purpose of obtaining reduction of bat!, and prayed the Court to give a hearing upon this writ before the prisoners were forced to plead. Judge Ladiow quashed the writ of habeas corpus and refused to reduce the bail irom $20,000, and fxed Wednesday week for the trial of the prisoners, The rain has not caused another freshet in the Schuylkill! as was feared.

The Quarrel Between the Kadical and Hawil- tou Republicans in Texas. It turns out that the main object of the late visit of Senator Wilson here was to see the President and get him to stop the slaughter of the Hamiuton men in Texas and the Dent men in MississippL Mr, Wil- son's argument was that the turning out of the friends of the opposition candidates would only make capital for them and produce a reaction tn their favor. Ben Butler, who came close upon the heeis of Wilson, heard of bis operations, and set about to upset what he had done. He told the Pres- ident the only Way was to make the conservatives feel that the administration was against them; this would strengthen the radicals and make them fight more vigorously. There was nothing to be gained by compromising. General W. S, Clarke, of Texas, @t whose instance most of the charges have been made in that State, follows upon the argument of Butler as againat Wilson, Clarke 1# well known to Grant, having served with him in the army, and the indications are that he will take the advice of But- ler and Clarke rather than that of Wilson. The let ter of General Reynolds to tue President has had its effect, and there is reason to believe that ne will keep on turning out Hamilton men and putting radicals in their places. The Constitutionality of Municipal Harbor Fees to be Settled by the Supreme Court. Mr. Charies F, Barnes, of this city, is determined to have the question of the constitutionality of State and municipal harbor fees settled beyond the shadow of a doubt. Not satisfied with the recent decision of Justice Plant in a case brought against the corporation of Georgetown, and which was eml- nently favorable to his side, Mr, Barnes has com- menced another suit against the city of Washington to recover damages for the exaction of harbor fees from the owners of the sioops Stafford and Jenny Baker and the schooner Lmogene, im the year 1866. Mr. Barnes intends to have this case carried to the Supreme Court and thugs bave the question finally and positively settled. The Schureman Case—Opinion of Judge Fisher. In the Criminal Court to-day Judge Fisher deliv- ered @n opinion on the motion in the arrest of Judgment in the case of James H. Schurman, re- cently convicted on the indictment for taking and carrying unsigned bank notes from the Treasury building. He read a section of the act of February, 1867, as applicable to the case, and set forth the char- acteristics which an instrument must have to become the subject of the crime, It must be a paper printed and stamped and intended to be put into circulation by or on behalf of the United States, as a note au- thorized by law to be put in circulation on behalf of the United States. The offence, then, described in the act is simpiy the taking and carrying away, without authority from the United States, from the oullding or vault where the same 1s placed or deposited by the authorities of the United States, of any paper, printed, stamped and intended to be put in circulation on benalf of the United States, as a note authorized by law to be so circulated, If the indictment does not charge this offence it 1s fatal. We placed in collocation the offence set forth in the statute and the offence charged in the indictment, snowing there were essential variations, and maintaining the indictment failed utterly to charge any offence failing within the statutory provision. He said he was constrained against his wili to grant the motion, because he was satisded the verdict on @ proper indictment would have been the same as on this, which ts so defective, and because the trial has been so long deferred that @ proper indictment would now be barred by the act Of limitation, and justice must fall of its object. The counsel for the government called attention to an indictment recently found by the Grand Jury, when the Court stated that Schureman would be required to give bail, Tne accused then sent fdr some of his friends with that view. Court of Claims. The United States Court of Clatms met this morn- ing to hear cases on the October list of the Decem- ber term of 1868. Cntef Justice Casey and Associate Justices Loring, Peck and Milligan were present, but no business was transacted, the Court having adjourned unuil to-morrow in respect to the memory of ex-President Plerce, under whose administration the bill establishing that court was passed and by whom it was signed before becoming a law. UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11, 1869, The United States Supreme Court convened at the usual hour, and the Chief Justice announced the fol- lowing decisions on certain motions:— Ex parte Edward M. Yerger, Petitioner.—The motion for habeas corpus and certiorari in this cause 18 directed to be heard on Friday next; but the dis- cussion will be wholly confined to the question of the Jurisdiction of the Court to issue the writ.

Fox, of this city, in a neat address of welcome, which was responded to by Mr. Fillmore as follows: — Mk, MAYOR AND GENTLEMEN OF LoUISVILLE— This reception ts an honor and a pleasure which I had no reason to expect. Were I a candidate for some high political ofice, or did 1 come with the prestige of oficiat power, I might account for this assembly here to-day. Nearly twenty years have elapsed since I lave taken part in political matters. I belong to no party; but I do belong to my country—(applause)—and I cannot express to you the gratitication I feel to-day atseeing in prospect a deliberative body gathered from every State in the Union—the Union restored— that patriotic and glorious Union, which has been endangered, but, I trust, not lost. (Applause,) Fif- teen years ago I vised your city for the first and last time, and bad | been placed in it to-day una’ Lcould not have recognized It. True, here grand old river fowin; jong its edge; here is the great natural obstruction of the Falls, which has piaced it with the great commercial cities of the country; but now, when I see your splendid houses and your beautiful streets, all seems changed. It would seem as though magic had caused it. How you could be so prosperous under all the vicissi- tudes of the past ten years is unaccountable; but 1 congratulate you on your good fortune and your rosperity. Kentucky, if there be a State in the inion boas of the State which gave me birth, is the State of all others | have learned to honor. (Ap- jause.) I knew your illustrious citizen, who did fonor to his Siate as he did to all the Union, and who now sleeps within your bogders. I need not allude to Henry Clay. (Applause.) He was my earli- eat and best devoted friend, and I was his, and I can never revert to his memory without reverence aud respect. 1 beg your pardon, gentiemen. 1 came here with no prepared speech; the time has long rd ttempted such a thing. I came u p tion an onor, and to express the hope that you may continue to be prosperous, and that our coun- try may be one and united for ever. apeinese,) Pardon me, therefore, for not adding to this address if with simply thanking you and for contenting my: for this honor. be gm yeg 4 Mr. Fillmore then met a large number of citizens, with whom he shook ban.

FREE TRADE VERSUS PROTECTION. Discussion Between Horace Greeley and Pro- fessor Perry at Music Hall, in Boston, Boston, Oot. 11, 1869, There was @ fair audience in Music Hall to hear the discussion of [ree trade aud protection between Professor Perry and Horace Greeley, the Professur opening the discussion by saying:— The subject of free trade, separated from those other subjects whica are oiven thrown around it to confuse it, makes it appeal to common sense, and relies on the heaitny assent which it never fails to ellcat from unprejudiced understandings. Free trade cannot be confounded with tae subject of tax- ation. Free trade bas nothing to object to any form of legitimate taxation, not even to customs duties which are laid solely and wisely as taxes. But we assert that nothing else but taxation shall hide under cover of taxesr that all taxes shall be levied as taxes; that the government shall get all that the people are made wo pays and that these taxes suall be open and above ard, calculable even ff onerous or new; Dut be anyhow, The only source from which taxes can possibly be paid is the gains of the people's exchanges, As & great tax collector, government 1s mnterested in having (he exchanges of the people as numerous and as profitable a3 possibile, so thas the fractions of the gaius which it takes to itself in taxes shall be as large as possible. Any tuterference with trade made necessary by cousiderations of ublic health, such as quaranune, police reguia- tions, stopping the renting of unfit houses or the wale of unfit food, has nothing whatever in confict with the doctrine of free trade. No tax law restraints, nor health restraints, nor restraints that- can be defended ou the score of public morals, do we attack. We attuck anu, God willing, snail overthrow those other restraints in trade that claim for them- selves an econouicat bevellt; tuat protess to be abie to work the tinancial miracle of making protitavle the stoppage of profitabie commerce; that dare not appear among the people tn their own nature as re- straints, but Wreuch a Word out of honest Eaghsh With wuich to cover up their nature; Laat would not stand @ minute's chance under an appropriave de- signation, but steal mito the fold “a wolf in sheep's clotuing,”” under the designation of “protectioa.”’ Let that word ta that sense be forever accursed, be- cause it is a fraud; because itis a lie; because tt “steals the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.’ Every trade lnvoives two persons, and virtually only two, each of whom tenders to the other something for the sake of receiving from him something more highly esteemed, Each person has satistied a want of the otver, and has had his own want satistied, A natural variety of dwsires, of capacities, of opportunities among men introduced tnese ex- changes at the begiuning of society, and they inde- finitely muitiply as society progresses, It 18 God's wil, as thus expressed, tlat men shall trade, and trade unceasingly. 50 natural is it to trade, so artl- fictal.and unpertinent are restricuons, that the sys. tem of s0-calied “protection” was uever heard of in the ancient world, frotection ts a very moderu de- lusion. The gifted Greek never lignied upon it, even in his speculations; the practical Romans—as good citizens as ever lived, whose armies con- quered the world and whose laws held it con- quered—never thougut of It; the cities of the Middie Ages grow rich in ignorance of it, ‘The Athenians, indeed, sometimes forbade the export of tgs, and the Romans someumes of coin, and the Middle Ages had their guilds; but any system of protectton as applied to foreign trade Was not theirs, The Greek tarut levied five, and the Koman five, and aiter- wards two and # half per centum, for revenue. Pro- tection, properly, began in tne English Naviga- tion law of 106), and in the French tariils of Colbert Ot about the same decade. Protection is 200 years old, or rather would be if the nation that developed 16 had not iong since cast it ou iM scorn, acknow- leding its foliy in udopung 1s, aud its perpetual loss in maintaining it. France, Where the people do not govern, stil clings in part and feebly to the system, Belgium and Germany have fung it to the winds, and even Kussia 13 avout relaxtug Its commercial fetters, So natural 18 it to trade that no one thinks of applying restrictions within the coun- try itself, Massachusetis exchanges products with Louisiana without let or hiudrance. Why should not Vermout with Canada? ‘he benefits of an exchange depend in no degree upon the accident that the parties vo it are cilizeus @f the same coun- try. Itis just as natural to trade wita a foreigner, provided hie wants to trade with you, as wiih a lellow citizen, and there 18 no more tendency to bring you to lls ievel, up Or down. But tue tueory of protection thrusts itself 1n and says, You shait not take those commodities of foreigners at the cheap rate at which they oiferthem to you. If you take them you must pay for them a great deal more than the owners ask lor them, @ great deal more thaa they are worth in @ free market; and this not for the sake of taxation, but in order that certain other parties may have @ chance to sell similar commodities at a higher figure.” Protection 18 bothing under heaven but an expedient to make what is navurally cheap artificially dear, Protecuon necessitaves 1038; loss begins the moment protection begins, and continues until pro- tection euds. Let us suppose free trade to exist. It does not compel anybody to trade with foreiguers; it does not even recommend anybody to trade with joreignera, It simp!y allows anybody to trade with foreigners provided he finds it profitable to do so. Navure hersei{ makes it easier and better for him to trade with fellow citizens by throwing @ usually greater cost of transportation across the path of foreign trado, and it is only when a@ decided gain can be realized after meeting the extra cost of transportation that foreign trafic comes into benz at all. Now, when this gain 18 being realized the native, finding @ market for his commodity with the former, and tne foreigner fnd- tog @ market tor bis commodity with the native, with @ prodit accruing to both, for gevern- ment to thrust in @ protective duty, shutting the foreign out, and, what is the same thing, shutting the native in, 18 to destroy an otherwise inevitable gain, Gain destroyed is loss incurred, and the loss is an uncompensated loss—a dead loss. Besides, therejare the interruption of the play of natural laws, the disturbance of tue existing channeis of trade, the immense expense of surveiilance ol smtg- gling, the thousand and one vexattons and precau- tions that make merchants say, as One lately said to me, “The government treats us as if we were a set of bandilti.”” The aggregate of the motives to production 1s necessarily duminished by the stimulus which has) been applied to one part; but the vital force to stimulate with having been withdrawn from other parts the stimulus itself is soon exhausted, frovected mterests are always clamor- ous for more protection, We have had eleven ditfer- ent acts since 1561, and are already threatened witn another, and what could we expect but losses from a system that professes to be wiser than nature 13; that claims to be able to lay burdens s0 cunningly that the burdens themselves become a positive pro- ductive agent—something to be put on a level with labor and capital; that thinks it can apportion the motives and distribute the rewards of industry bet- ter than natural law can do it? Every nation that has outlived the folly of protection has acknowledged atlongth that it was a losing system for it from frst to last. England did not abandon protection, a8 13 often alleged, because she had found tt 50 proiitable thas she could at last dispense with it, but because the thinkers who.were allowed to guide her public action had demonstrated that protection was aiways a loss and always would be, and because practically, in accordance with those demonstrations, there was an increasing deficit in her annual budget, which ner statesmen did not know how to cover, but whicu was covered under the iead of Robert Peel, who was himself under the lead of Adam Smith, by a revenue increasing through aremission of duties, We raise less than five doliars per capita by our tarit; Eng- land raises over four tai eck protection ana without compiaint. ‘She second fundamental objection to protection is that it violates @ natural right of pro- perty. ‘The right of property is noching but the right to sell, Nothing is property that cannot be sold, and everything 18 property that can be bought. The right of property 1s a natural right; tuat is to say, @ man ha’ a natural right to sell whatever property is his own, whether it be service or com- modity. If @ nation will not buy tt cannot sell, siuce buying and selling is a reciprocal act. Now, a Jaw that makes it more difficult for a man to sell his property robs him of that property. It is property only ag he can sell tt. If he ts now obliged to sell tt for less & part of his property is des- troyed. But protective duties are designed to pro- hibit citizens trom selling in the dearest market, and to compel them to géeliin@ cheaper marke. They are designed to cut off a part of foreign commodities whioh would otherwise be offered in excuange tor @ part of our own commodities, ana thus these commodities lose their best market; that 1s, they lose a part of their valu that Is, owners lose a part of Op. property, Government may take millionsinthe form of honest taxes, but never with our consent one fraction of any man’s roperty under the delusi notion that it kuows etter than he does where he can buy and sell, 10 do this in outrage, Tho government is not wise enough to do it, and never will be. And this leads me to say that there are two Classes of protection- iste—thove who are measurably honest and those who are immeasurably unscrupulous, The trouvie with Mr. Greeley is, as I apprehend, that he has got entangled in some half a dozen words, and one of these words {a protection. Ass word It sounds well; a8 & word It is associated in our minds with security of property; but iook beneath the word and you find thas the word ts not properly descriptive of the thing. Restriction describes it more justiy. Instead of bein; G@nything positive it ts some.hing negative; inste: of creating anything it destroys something; instead of bell venificent power it is @ gigantic per cen- tum to be paid. Another expression is “home indus- try.” Nothing ia more commendabie than home industry, and it strikes a great many points that the way to encourage it is to allow it to offer tts pro- ducts wherever they arein demand and not out off that demand by legal restriction. Home industry is abundantly able to take care of itself if the govern- ment will take its grip of from it. Another term is “infant manufactures.’ Manufactures lofancy; they eituer turn out products or they do not. It they turn out products there is maturity and nothing of infancy, Massaohusetis be; make cotton, woolen and cloth in 1688, and made it profitably from the outeet; so that in 1641 it was more profitable than the other branches of industry in the Commonwealth, Another phrase is “natural. ization of manufactures.” Manulactures are just ag patural as agriculture and spring up juss = as tnovitabl, under =the call of uman = wants, instead =oof =—law boing needful to navuralize branches of industry, nearly all kinds of manufactures Were naturalized tn this coun- uy in spite of the utmost hostility of the British Colo- nial law. AS Soon as manulactures become profita- ble law 18 powerless to keep them down, The other class of protectionists are unscrupulous men, who care little for words or things, so they can get a bi prodt on the products tn which they are interested. ‘hese are the men WhO Lesioge the Commits of Ways and organize lobbies, make combi “ons and extort by their display of selfish ness what was said to me by a late disungu! member of the Committee of Ways and Means: —‘‘If anything will make a man a freo trader it 14 to sit on thls committee, ‘There have been before us during the session just closed at least five hundred men who Wished us to lay or increase provective duties, with no intent tn the world but to increase the price Of their product and thua rob the pubilc."” MK, GREBLEY’S REPLY, Mr, Greeley, upon being introduced by the Mayor, Was recetved with vigorous applause, and proceeded to answer Professor Perry, evidently without much preparation. After a pleasant allusion to the remarks nade by ir. Perry on the occasion of his first meet- ing him, he admitted that protection was a new idea, but not so new as raliroads and telegraphs. Had the Romans understood the system it would have insured them millions upon millions of wealth, if tt nad not saved thelr ancient civilization. He combatted Mr. Verry’s view that the duties on for- eign products raised tne price of home products, If his position 18.s0uud he sould be hostile to every spectes of duty ontmports. The two free trade propositions of sweeping duties and the debt away together at tuto each other, He replied to Mr, Perry's SUggeap tion that he bad been carried away by words by siat- ing that he had had plenty of good company ii both hemispheres, Tne champions of slavery were always devermined ultra free waders. Au advocate of the slave trade or of opening the territories to the siave- holders was never known who was not a free trader at heart. They wanted to buy their labor in the cheapest market—Africa, When these men lost ower by the election of Harrison @ protective tari followed, but to be overthrown by & succeding administration, again to be restored during tne late war. Ho rejoiced in the even tarids that had been the resuit of the war, but for which they would never have been enacted, This is no neW controversy. Beginning in 1516-17, there wasa steady discussion In almost every newspaper, Con- gress and Legislature, and even in congregations of citizens at the Hreside. It was thorougiily discussed, and regulted in the tariff of 1824. After several de- Teala in previous years the country approved of it, for a higher tari was passed in 1824, The protec- Uonists have been done out of @ tarf since several mes by trickery, but never when the issue was brought directly before the people. Tariffs, he said, are carried by the the necessity feit by the people for protection to their industry in seasons Of distress, a very few instances of which he recalled, In 1317, at the Giose of the war, there was a great influx of English products, Every otver house snowed signals of distress. Goods were cheap, out there was nothing wherewith to buy. Universal bankruptcy prevalied, Upon thts basis was founded the structure of protection by men who were not the champions of an existing interest. Agricuiture cailed for protection to manufactures, Bo that its roducts should receive @ suitable return. He con- ended that there was an iniancy to manufactures, for the reason that we have to aculeve a foreign mar- ket, ‘1ho threads of commerce radiate trom London; we are but @ side port. Cape Town does not wink of sending to New York to sapply ites wante. Vermont has no great manuiactures, yet sue defended protection, because she believed it was right. The Professor, Mr. Greeley said, assumes that protection raises the prices ior the manuafac- turers, therefore yuodue influences were exerted upon Congress, He forgets that an opposing Influence id also used by the lobbyists in the foreign nianufacturers’ interests, who likewise keep open houses. The views of Alexander Hamilton were quoted to show that the common idea of enhanced prices being the result of a tariff was erroncous, that statesinan contending that the ultimate tendency was to encourage the growth of manufactures, and consequently a permanent re- duction rather than an increase in prices. As between an agricultural people and @ manufacturing people the advantage 1s always with the latter, Their pro- ducts are more compact and less in bulk; hence tho lessening cost of transportation, Manufactures can be transported from Englaud to lowa in return for corn for one-twentieth the price of moving the agricultural products rom lowa to England. Manufactures allow of a broader employment for labor. Mr, Greeley remem- bered when girls would work for ility cents a week in New England. He thanked God they would not do it now. ‘This, he contended, was ono result of toe gacouragement of mannfactures. Several instahces of the creation of warkels by tue planting of manutacturing villages in Isolated districts, epnancing the vaiue of the land and its products and adding to the wealth of the country, were related as the results of Protection. If free trade would only go to work and make all the iron the country wants, the duties would fail materially. The tron has been put here and should be utilized here. Mr. Greeley stated in closing that he believed in a diversified indusiry which increases the education of the country. Independence, power and weaiti Gepend on such an adaptation of our resources a8 secures the growth of the country. Protecuonists have faith in the popular intetligence whicu will 6e- cure Us prosperity and independence from foreign Mmauufacturiag aid. AMUSEMENTS. WALLACK'S THEATRE.—The week's variety and novelty was brilliantly inaugurated at this estab- lishment last evening by the production, for the first time in two years, of Taylor's exquisite three act comedy of “An Unequal Match.’’ Tno house was well filled with an appreciative audience, and the piece passed off in the pleasantest manner pos- sivie. With an exceedingly strong cast, supero scenery and an audience capable of thoroughly ap- wpreciating the play and the actors, it could Dot weil be otherwise. ‘The piece was handsomely mounted and was capitally acted throughout, and fre- quently elicited the heartiest rounds of ap- plause. Miss Madeline Henriques, as Hester Grazebrook, the loving hearted, simple country lass, was perfection itself. This is the same character in which Miss Henriques achieved such @ brilliant success some thrte years ago, and it is almost needless to say that she played it last night with all her original vivaciousness, sparkle and ease. Time, with tts gray wing, seems not to have rubbed ofa single atom of her fresiness and beauty. Mr. Ringgold made his first appearance this season as Sir Henry Arnciiffe, as did also Mr. Owens, tn the character o: the Village Blacksmith, and botu re- ceived that cordial welcome witch is: aysextended to the recognized favorites of this theatre. We have but one error to point out in the acting of Mr. Owens, In the second scene tn which he appears everything around wears the air of sum- mer, ana Miss flenriques is presumed, by the action of the piece, to be out in the fields among the mowers. It seems, therefore, a slight anachronism that Mr. Owens should appear in @ costume which wouid entitle him to @ place ima sleigh during a very low condition of the thermometer. The piece last evening, upon the whole, renewed fully its former triumph and gi fe promise of holding for a long time @ place in Mr. Waliack’s programme of variety. It will be repeated again on Friday even- ing, With the same cast. This evening we are to have Robertson's beautiful play of “Uaste,” with Miss Effie Germon as Polly Eccles. Patti's Last CoNcERT.—The ninth Patti concert ol the series at Steinway Hall was given last even- ing. After to-morrow evening, when Brooklyn will be visited, the fair warbler takes her flight to the interior to delight provincial audiences with the melody which so enchanted her metropolitan ad- mirers, The unequivocal success of Miss Patti suggests @ train of reflections on a subject whica has greatly puzzied many people and impoverished many impresarios, The failure of Italian opera has been quoted to prove the desrth of musi- cal appreciation in the New York public. Yet Miss Patt has thronged the immense auditgrium of Steinway Hall every evening of her performances. We shall find that the secret lies not in the lack of appreciation, but in the excess of it. The American taste ts not satisfied with a long, wearisome affair, such as our operatic entertain- meats have been, with one prima donna surrounded by a company of the most ordinary vocalists. The prevailing taste is for the concert as against the ‘opera; for in the one are contained the salient f tures—the culled flowers, 80 to speak—of the other, American musical taste, like American genius, goes straight to the pomnt, Miss Patt, tn her leavetaking last evening, sang from ‘“Sonnambula” and “Linda,” the “Ab | non giunge” of tue former being her pidce de résistance, aud receiving just applause for its delicious rendering. The duet in “Linda” took place with Herr Habelmann. Ronconl, Ritter and Prome lent their eminent artistic powers to swell Miss Patti’s final offering to the public, THEATRE FRANCAIS.—The public is never tired of Sam, His oddities, @rolleries and absurdities have been accepted as the very acme of American humor. As personated by Mr. Chanfrau last night ‘at this theatre ths character seemed even more en- gaging than ever before, that admirable actor being ft perfect; iliar witn it. The piece was weli put upon tl and the beh ge character was Mr. C. T. Parsloe, Jr., was particu. Tarly wood as Dick Jenkinsini. The house was a good one and the audience was fasbionabie and ap- reciative. As an opening night Mr. Tayleure and ker, Grau may feel extre! gratified. An Elopement Story Spoiled. LBIER FROM THE ALLEGED HEROINE. Naw Yors, Oct. 11, 1869, To Tas Epiror or THs Heratp:— In your issue of this morning is an article taken from the Chicago Times, which refers so evidently to me that, taken in connection with the use of my me in other papers, com, my making this pub- Tie denial of ite contents. ead of breaking my engagement as stated therein, I played to its close on the 2d instant, and left for my home in this city on the following day. Mr, Coleman, the gentieman who played Major Jorum to my Formosa, had no knowledge whatever of my intended departure, nor had lofhis, Our leaving by the same train was the merest chance, Indeed, so far from eloping with Mr, Coleman, I had no other acquaintance with mi than a professional one. The report of my clope- ment 1s, therefore, a malicious slander, evidently published by some person possessed of an enmity for me, and with the design of injuring me person- ally and professionally, And in giving It my explicit and unequivocal denial I must express the hope that those be pd Mateos hd the gall ard il do me the just deny! . edna EMILY JORDAN, THR DENIAL OF THE HERD New Yoru, Oct, 11, 1800, To Trae Kprror oF THR HRKALD:—~ It waa with feelings of tho maa: indignant aurorten ' 7 that [ read an article in your paper of this morning, purporting to emanate from the Chicago Times, and accusing me of eloping with a certain lady from that city, 1 certaiiy aid leave Chicago on Sunaay, tne 3d inst., the game day with the lady referred to, simply becanse my engagement terminated the previous eveuing. As regards the lady herself, I nover noid any conversation with her during her brief stay {o Chicago, save in the pursuance of my stage business to Chicago, and I cannot but regard this cowa diy attack as emanating from some persoual enemy of herg or mine, EDWARD OULEMAN.
