The citizens of that city took charge of even.the Mayor's office and attended to all cages, and gave every man his just due. SI not the citizens of this city do tne same? Now, therefore, I, Charles Van Dusen, of the State, county and city ‘of New York, do hereby give, for the purpose of organizing a vigilance commitcee for this city, the sum of $50,000; tie same to be handed to the treasurer of said committee when so elected, Many of the citizens will proba sly follow suit in ®. his been arranged, 1 should like to have :hesame O-ganized on or about the lat of January, 187¢.

Tho operas pro- duced at this house up to the present time have been very creditably performed and have been liberally patronized by our music-loving citizens. Not con- tent, however, with the flattering success which has thus far attended her efforts, Mrs. Bernard has de- termined to wind up her operatic season in this city in @ blaze of splendor. Witn this object in view she presents to us this evening Meyerbeer’s grand opera “The Huguenots,” which has never before been done in English inthis country.

Hackett, as that joliiest of Shak- spearian knights, Sir John Falstat, is still tho attraction at Booth’s theatre, which, by the by, nightly fillea with large and fashionable audiences, Mr. Hackett’s impersonation of this character is one of the most enjoyable and thoroughly artistic pieces of acting upop the mimic stage, and thav it 13 appreciated by our citizens is fully attested by the applause which its representation always evokes, “The last nights” of Mr. Hackett are already an- nounced, active preparations being made for the production of ‘Hamlet,’ with Mx, Edwin Booth in the title role, ‘The sprightly little Lotta appears this evening in a “rearranged” version of the litte three act drama entitled ‘ihe Lictle Detective,” ‘tbe drama will be Toliowed by the laughable farce ‘An Object of In- verest,”’ in which Lotta will also take part, assuming in both plays no less than seven diifereat char acters, Buta pieces will be juced im the genuine Niblonian style, with strong casts and appropriate scenery, and as this is ‘the last week but one” of te vivacious littie Lotta in this city 1t 1s more than probabie that the theatre will be crowded during the remainder of her engagement, The pleasing littie comedy of “Home,” after a long and successtul run at Wallack’s theatre, makes way for @ week of novelty and variety. This even- ing the Legon ecrrstid of “Lhe Wonder” will be pre- sented at this house for the first time this season; and as it has already had the benefit of quite a number of rehearsals it will doubticss pass off with that smooth and artistic completeness for which Wallack’s ia jusdy tamous.

Last night the Liederkranz Soctety, at their pall on East Fourth street, gave their first grand concert for the season, and an unusual success it was. It can no longer be said that New York does aot culti- vate the classical in music, for the prestige which the Philharmonic, the Arion, and now the Lieder- kraaz, have won among the public by their artistic rendering of the works of the classics in music, shows that the people know how to bestow recogni- tuon where it is ane. The great feature of last evening’s concert was the “Feast of Alexander,” by Handel, written by him in Engiand some 130 years ago. It is a cantata, in two acts, witn solos tor soprano, tenor and basso, and full mixed chorus ana orchestra. Old as tis cantata 1s, it is no exag- geration to say that the thought was in almost every- body’s mouth, 11 this be the mnusic of the past oue ought to be satisfod with if and long not for the vagaries of the music of the future. So sweet and Meiodious acomposition, of such simplicity in in- strumentation and yet so effective in combining the human voice with the orchestra in thetr duiferent Modulation, has seldom been heard tn this city, and iv is to the credit or the Liederkranz to have pro- duced it, and weil. Miss Jackson, the soprano; Mr, Sonst, the basso, and especially Mr. Fritsch, the tenor, and the chorus of the Liederkranz merit especial mention, Nor should the musi- cal director, Mr. Agricoi Paur, be forgotten, ‘whose directing intelligence supervised the whole, though he did hold at too siow @ metre the recitative of the tenor, ‘‘War he sung in toil and troubte.’”’ ‘Anna Mehielg, of Stuttgardt, Wurtemberg, one Of the most renowned pupils ot Franz Lisat, gave the “Oampaneila’” and the ‘Faust’ waltz on the Piano, She took the house by storm, and Lustig, for.

WASHINGTON. Reassembling of Congress—-A Busy Session in Prospect. Dae aaaa nee Monster Petition for According Belligerent Rights to the Cuban Insurgents. Probable Release of the Spanish Gunboats. WASHINGTON, Dec, 5, 1869. Renasembling of Congress. Senators aud members continue to arrive slowly and the crowd which usually congregates here on the eve of the meeting of Congress 1s surprisingly small. It 1s estimated that there is not a quorum of either House as yet tn the city, and it will require the arrival by the early trains to-morrow of @ large number of members, particularily of the House, Owing to the short session last spring either the Senate nor House of Representatives will lose any time in organization. A committee wiil be appointed to inform the President that their respective bodies are ready for business, after which, according to the present determination, the President will immedi- ately send in his Message and accompanying docu- ments. A careful canvass of the leading men of both houses shows that the few who direct and tnfluence legislation are undetermined among themseives as to what course they will pursue or what legisia- tion they will urge. They seem to be waiting to see what form matters will take after the message is in. Senator Wilson gave his opinion to-day that the coming session would be strictly business, and more so than has been the case for some years, It 1s also generally thought that all the leading measures which will come up for discussion will be first con- sidered in caucus and be there well matured and then be brought before the Senate for debate. Itis not known to any Senators of prominence that a caucus is to be held to-morrow, and to use the language of several, there is nothing to hold a caucus about. As for making a change of oMcers in the Senate, there seems to be no foundation for such a statement. Secretary Gorham snd Sergeant-at-Arms French are both satisfactory and therefore will not be disturbed. The principal features in the legislation of the Senate, as now talked of, will be the funding of the national debt and tinkering on the revenue and tariff laws, Foreign questions will come up, but in what shape is indefinite, Action in regard to Cuba grows more doubtful every day,and it seems that unless the Presi- dent makes suggestions the subject wi!l not be taken up. It is admitted that the sympathy of the people ia on the side of Cuba, and some extraordinary Popular pressure might effect an expression of opinion from the legislative branch of the govern- ment. Completion of the President’s Message. The President's message was completed yesterday. Neither it ner the report of the Secretary of the Treasury 18 printed, This precaution was taken in order to prevent premature publication, as in repeated cases heretofore. Both these documents will be given if manuscript to the press. All the other reports have been printed and newspapers supplied with advanced copies. Belligerent Rights for Cuba—Monster Petition from Philadelphia— Statistics of Population and Commerce. The friends of Cuban independence propose bring- ing the subject of the recognit.ou of the belligerent Tights of the insurgents before Congress at an carly day of the session. Several petitions, numerously signed by persons in different parts of the Union, have already arrived and others are expected in a few days. The design is to present them all at once in the Senate and House and have them re- ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations of each House. The longest petition thus far received is from Philadeiphia and is signed by 29,748 citizens, It is estimated to be from a mile to @ mile and 8 half long, and is wound around a wheel mounted ona frame, The petition when it comes into Congress will make an odd and formidabie appearance on the desk of the Speaker; ror | under- stand it is to be presented inthe House of Repre- sentatives. It will require at least two members of the Committee on Foreign Affaira to carry it up to their committee room. It is signed by nearly all the members of the Union League of Philadelphia and by citizens of all shades of politics. Among the names are the most prominent merchants, bankers, manufacturers and politicians of Philadel- phia. Each member of Conguess 1s to be furnished ‘with @ card containing a map of the island of Cuba on the left hand side and aCuban flag on the right, over which are tue words ‘Free Cuba.” Under tho Map and flag are the following statistics intended for the information of Congressmen:—Length, 690 miles; average breadth, 65 miles; square miles, 47,500, 632,000,000 acres.

From information received to-night from @ very reliable source Iam led to believe that the Spanish gunboats will finally be released by the Unted Staves authorities. Tho Paris Exposition—What Became of the Appropriation for tho American Depart- ment, Information being wanted as to where the money went that was appropriated by Congress for the American department of the French Exposition, a resolution will in @ few days be introduced in Congress calling on the Secretary of State for a full and complete statement of the manner in which the large amount of money appropriated by Congress in aid of ine American department of the French Exposition was expended. It is re- ported that a large amount of this money was entrusted to a particular favorite of Mr. Seward in New York, and that no satisfactory account of how it was expended has yet been given to the proper department, Another person, also a particular favorite of Mr. Seward, was entrusted with a con- siderable amevut of the money, and the people would like to see an account of his stewardship, Congressional Mataal Admiration Society. This evening a large number of Senators and Members entertained each other at dinner, this being regarded as the best way to revive old ac- quaintances. Representative Hooper gave a dinner to Secretary Boutwell, Attorney General Hoar, Sena- tor sumner and a few members, mostly Massachu- setts men; Senator Edmunds entertained Senator Conkling, Judge Rice and several senatorial friends at Wormsley’s. The session seems to begin with good cheer around the festive board. Fight Over the New York Marshalship—Sigel Claims His Reward. United States Marshal Barlow must look out for his position, There are two prominent republican politicians looking out for the place, backed by con- siderable infuence. When Barlow resigned and nis deputy, Mr. Harlow, succeeded, it was generally ve- lieved that the thing waa settled;jbut one important point had been overlooked, and that was that the Senate had not passed upon the question, and would desire to have something to aay about it. it appears now that Generai Sigel and Daniel D. Conover are opposed to permitting Harlow to rest in his place without first baving # lively little brush in the Senate. Sigel is said to be backea by Greeley and Conkling, who believe that the German hero should have some recognition for bis heroic political campaigns in the cause of true radicalism. John Cochrane and James W. Taylor also fight “mit Sigel,” and Sigel undoubtedly stands a good chance of “Barkis (that is Fenton) ts willin.”’ In tho first deal for the federal watronage the United States Marshalanip fell to Fenton's lot, and it is be- Meved he wii! claim that he has sow tho right to name the man to succeed Barlow. Whether he will adopt Harlow or not is a matter not known as yet. Hypecrisy Rebuked—Beecher, Frothingham and Colfax Reviewed. Rev. Dr. Collier, of Chicago, preached tn the Uni- tarian courch here to-day on the subject of hypo- criay. In the course of bis remarks he alluded to the Richardson-McFarland affair, and took oocasion to denounce the conduct of Henry Ward Beecher and O. B. Frothingham. Referring to Vice President Colfax, he said that the second officer of the govern- ment had shown his hypocrisy by going to Utah to denounce the Mormons, and then going to New York to applaud spiritual adultery and polygamy. The conduct of the Vice President was inexcusable. He must have been aware of the facta in the case of Mrs, McFarland and Mr. Richardson, and yet ne could send telegrams condoling with the latter in the effects of hia crime and stand by his deathbed in agony at bis decoase. It was time the people, to whom Mr. Colfax is responsible, took notice of these facta and administered to him the proper rebuke. Among the auditors at this discourse were Secretary Boutwell and Attorney General Hoar, together with @ large number of members and Senators, Lobbyists and Jobbers at their Posts. The reassembling of Congress has brought hither numerous visitors, many of whom are known to be interested in various pending projects, Report on Paraguayan Affairs. The chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs says that the report on the Paraguay question will not be ready fora monta to come. FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION.
