strictly consolentions motives aiming at the good of the service, and for his past career to be disapproved of by the Present Secretary from equally conscien- tious motives, It is a very common occur- rence for two men to disagree on any one thing &nd be sincere in their opposing views. At the Worst the differences of opinion that separate Mr. Welles from Mr, Robeson need not be re- garded as reflecting upon the executive Capacity and integrity of the ono or of the other. They make up a vexed question of Jong standing which Congress has most shame- fully neglected settling, and which we hope to See finally and definitely settled before the ses- sion ends. But there is one part of the letter which calls for the expression of some opinion. Mr. Welles assails the claim of economy made in the report of Secretary Robeson, and asserts that the expenditures for the fiscal year end- ing the lst of July next will exceed those of the previous year. As no statement of such expenditures has been seen by Mr. Welles it ‘would have been better for him to have waited until its publication either copfirmed the claim made by Mr. Robeson or else disproved it. It is, we admit, undeniable that the estimates for the ensuing year exceed those for 1868 made by Mr. Welles; but it should be borne in mind that extensive repairs of navy yards and vessels ‘Sre in progress now, whereas there was noth- ing of the kind two years ago. However, it is not our desire to prejudice our readers against Mr. Welles’ defence of his official acta, and we will therefore refer them to the letter {teelf, which ip decidedly interesting. “ AMUSEMENTS. Wirra AVENUE THEATRE.—‘Surf, or Summer Scenes at Long Branch,” ts the attractive title of the five act comedy, by Miss Olive Logan, brought out ‘at this house Jast night, and drew a full and fashion- ‘bie audience. The play had arunof five weeks last season at Boston, and subsequently it provéa @ success At Philadelphia. At Boston it was “Sum- mer Scenes at Newport;’? at Philadelphia it was located at Cape May; but here, with some trimmings and some additions by Mr. Daly, and with some life-like sconery of he Branch,’ the piece is just the same as if pre- ared exclusively for this locality. The scene the upper cabin of the steamboat bound down the bay, the scene of the bluif, the bathing houses, she beach, the bathers and the surt; the scene of the piazza and the lawn of the Stetson House, ‘and the parlors of the Surf House, decorated for the “Grant Hop,” are calculated to make us belleve ‘that it fs summer again, and that we are there. ‘The lot is not very profound nor as elaborately worked it ad Wilkie Collins does it, but it answers very Well. The characters are numerous and in great variety, embracing the army, the navy, a heavy villain, 9 sbarper, an old curmudgeon of a captious bachelor, a German pork packer from St. Louis, a les8 cockney, some good ana sensible Women, some firts and a silly did sort of Mrs. Malaprop, sprightly children, lively niggers, &c., &c., and all together they give us a sprightly Buccession of seaside characters, inctdents and situ- ations. Davidge as the captions old bachelor 1s a fine character, well done. Mr. Lewis as the St. Louis necker of pork isan original and sharply iss Fanny Davenport a3 Mrs, Madison Noble, the leader of the ton, isexcellent. She fills the rdve to perfection, and Lisa Lily Vining as Miss Nobie, the languid belle, who believes only in money, is very 8900, There are othery in the cast deserving ¢f special mer- tion, but our space is limited. For the first nlht, considering the numerous personages and tuo Roenery and machinery of the play, it was carried through smoothly; and though tt was late before it ‘Was finished, the house aid not appear to think tt too long. With a little shortening, however, it will De improved. It isa lively and pleasing entertain- meut, abounding in witty and pungent remarks, and, as a graphic winter presentation of summer at “the Branch,’ 1t surely ought to fill the house for ‘many nights to come. . GERMan Srapr THEATRE.—The ‘Grande Duchesse vof Gerolstein” proved her power of attraction last evening in the German language at this place, as her Highness was wont to do at the French theatre when she made her first appearance before a repub- can sudience. And it is not too much to say that in Miss Elsa Chorherr the love-stricken soverel has as good a representative ag 1D Miss Tostée, Mr. Guthery es General Boum has Jess brusqueness of manner than Mr. Dachosne, in consequence of which he may be considered an im provement. Prince Paul, however, was less a suc- eas; for Mr. Fritz failed in that delicacy of action and comicality for which the Prince of Mr. Leduc ‘Was so famous. But the whole stage arrangements, 4n point of outlay and completeness, costumes and wceuery, were 80 unusual to the customary practice at tus house that the audience, which crowded every seat, was quite agreeably disappointed, and cheered the management. Miss Chorberr was lav- ishly rewarded with bouquets and called before the curtain after every act. How it caime thas in this Offenbach burlesque a waltz from Gounod’s “Faust” ‘was interpolated at the opening of the fourth act the management has to answerfor. Yet, in gen- eral, this first German representation of the “Grande hesge”’ Was @ 6uccess. It will be repeated every Dight this week.

N. riswoid. Tho performance was a formidable one, instrumentally in particolar, comprising some of the ‘most difficult piano and violin works. Kucken, Ritter, ‘Thalberg, Chopin, Beethoven and Mendelssohn were ‘well represented in it, ‘The performance of the was highly creditable, and bore evidence of careful training they underwent. Misses *Bouoher, Cox, Burr, Hard, Walbriage and rReoté, in their rende! of the piano selections, and the. wo jast in their vocal duet, created a.very favor- ‘able impression. Some of the pteces were played ‘with more finish and grace than we have heara \from professionals, and there was a noticeable Q@bsence of that nervousness which one would expect «from amateurs. Mk.

The MarseiMatse—Rochefort’s tewWapaper—Was very violent again this morning, and the entire issue was therefore seized by the authorities, M. de Fouvellle’s Statement—The Interview With the Prince and His Action. Panis, Jan, 12, 1870, La Marsetllaise also publishes the following state- ment of M. de Fouveiile:— On the 10th of January, 1870, at one o'clock, Victor Noir and myself repaired to the rosidence of Prince Pierre Bonaparte, No. 59 Rue d’Anteutl, We were commissioned by M. Paschal Grousset to demana of Prince Pierre Bonaparte the reason for injurious articies against M. Pascnal Grousset, published in VAvenir de la Corse. We handed our cards to two servants who stand at the door, and who ushered us into a small parlor on the ground floor at ourright hand. After afew minutes we were conducted up stairs to the first floor, passed through a fencing room, and fnajly entered a drawing room, Adoor opened and M. Pierre Bonaparte entered. We advanced towards him and the following words passed between as:— “Sir, we come, on behalf of M. Pascal Grounset, to deliver a letter to you.” “You are not come, then, on behalf of M. Roche- fort. and you are not tools of his?’ “Sir, we are here on other business, and I beg you to look at this lester.” IT banded him the letter, He approached a win- dow to read it. He read it and, after crushing It in his hands, he returned towards us, “I have provoked M. Rochefort,” said he, “because he is the standard bearer of the rabble, As for M. Grousset J have no reply to maketo him. Are you the representatives of these carrion (ces charognes)?” “Sir,” I answered, “wecome to you to fulfll loy- ally and courteously the commission entrusted to us by our friend.”” “are you the representatives of these wretehes ?’” Victor Noir replied, “We are the representatives of our friends,” Then, suddenly advancing a step, and without provocation on; our part, Prince Bonaparte slapped Victor Noir with his left hand, and at the same time drew a revolver of six chambers, which he had con- cealed in bis pocket, already cocked, and fired ‘upon Soir with the muzzle of the pistol close to him. Noir staggered, pressed both hands on his breast, and sank down in the doorway by which we had entered. The cowardly assassin then turned upon me and fired. I then seized a small pistol, which I bad in my pocket, and while I was endeavoring to free it from the sheath the wretch rushed on me, but when he saw tnat I was armed he retreated, stood benind the door and aimed at me. It was then that, com- prehending the ambush into which we had failen, and reflecting that if 1 fired there woula not be wanting those Who would say that we had been the aggressors, Lopened a door which was behind me and rushed out, crying “Murder !’ As I went out @ second sho: followed and again passed through my coat. In the street I found Noir, who had had atrength to descend the stairs, and who was dead. These are the facts, jast as they transpired, and I look for prompt and exemplary justice for this crue.

Between two and three o'clock more than a hun- dred thousand persons were assembled in the vicin- ity of the place where the remains repose. Henri Rochefort attended the funeral, and his ap- pearance called forth a great demonstration of en- thustasm from the people. The remalng were takea to Neullly Cor interment, Whither they were followed by along procession. ‘The crowd wanted to parade with the body through Paris, but Louis Noir, brother of deceased, refused bis consent. At the cemetery there were frequent shouts of “Vive la répudlique,” and the ‘‘Marsell- laise”’ was repeatedly sung by the people. During the day, while MM. Rochefort and Raspatl were coming down whe Champs Elys¢es, accompa- nied by @ great crowd who were singing the ‘“Mar- seillatse,’’ they were stopped by a regiment of troops and the crowd was ordered to disperse.

The church was crowded by alarge audienge of Cambrians, all vearng the’ stamp of the Principality on their countenances, and now and then tueir demonstrations of approval showed that, though they were in a strange land, their harps were not hung on the wiliows. ‘rhe subject of the locture was the life and career of Benjamin Franklin, and the lecturer gave @ run- ning narrative of the jeading incidents of the great inan’s life, As migiit be expected from a Weishman, vhe thinft and the providence of Benjamin's early career were largely commented upon and held up to the audience for imitation, The well-known proverbs of Poor Richard's Almanac, so tall of worldly wisdom, afforded the eloquent lecturer an opportunity of delivering @ littie sermon oneach, The polttioal career of Franklin pointed’a morai to modern politicians not favorable to moaern patriotism or parity, Mr. Evans is an excellont lecturer; hag all the Welsh fire and a great deal of the Welsh wit, both of which are iudispeusabvle to the sausiucuon Of a Welsh audience. oe THE LATEST SENSATION. The “Wolfand the Lamb” Back In the Fold. Return of the Rev. Horace Cook with His Young Infatuation—Lively Excitement Up Town—The Bohemian Press in a Nightmare—The Pastor fa Prison—The Pupil with Her Parents. For two days the sensation press of this city has been in a convulsion of slang and has exhausted {ts red-hot vocabulary and extensive imagination over the elopement of Rey. Horace Cook, pastor of the Seventh street Methodist Episcopal church, with Miss Mattie Jonngon, & sixteen-year old school girl. Everything that could be said to lend a dtme novel aspect to the affair was done by those papers, and when thoy found themselves at a lows for {cts they had no hesitation whatever in deliberately conjuring upscenes and “reminiscences” that bad no founda- tion in fact. Whatever may be the grievousness of the pastor's present fault it was scarcely necessary to “throw water on a drowned rat” by publishing a category of imaginary former offences, as the papers alluded to have done, Rey. Horace Cook is as pout- tent a sinner now as need be. A nightmare settled on these sensation mongers last night when It was reported that Mr. Cook and Miss Johnson had returned to the city, and as it ts well known that many bank dofalcations. with an abscond- ing cashier as an appendix, are sometimes eventually explained by the fact that urgent business necessl- tuted an instant departure, so the Bobemtan scribes fearod last night that their villifcation would recott on themselves, and that an examination involving no one in “wnpng”? would result ta this case, Miss Johnson was RETURNED TO HER HOM last evening, and bas brougiut joy to that home as @ prodigal daughter. Late in the afternoon Mr. Jobuson received annonymous information that his daughter waa in the city and was at one of the principal hotels, and together with his son he at once instituted a diligent search and succeeded in fuding her atone of the teading up- town establishments. She immediately repaired home with him. Shortly afterwards the fact of her return was announced at a meeting held in the Seventh street Methodist church, and the excite- ment equatied that of a first class revival. She stated to her father that Mr, Cook went to the school house on Friday afrernoon last, and made arrangements with her to leave unmediately. She obeyed, and they left that evening for Philadelpiia. Having arrived there her *fMighty” companion went to @ hotel and hired a room, to which he escorted his youthful charge, and instantly took his departure, since which time until twelve o'clock !ast night she had neither seen or heard anything of bim. It may also be @ matter of interest to the inquisitive to know that there is not the slightest reason to sup pose that Miss Johnson Is not as chaste a young lady as when she left her parents’ home jast week: on the contrary it is asserted that she ts in no wise harmed save in the matter of unenviable and un- fortunate notoriety. WHY SHY LEFT. The general beHef is now that Miss Jolinson was a Young religious enthusiast, and tnat Mr, Cook had acquired that alngular spell-power over which, as 1g well known, often results from the development of an almost fanatical degree of so-called retigious ardor. There 1s also reason to suspect that the young girl had the misfortune not to have con- ceated from him the existence of this fascination which he exercised over her acts, and that tu a moment of semi-infatuatton, or, perhaps, of a light Tnaanity, bronght on by great mental agitation, ho requested her to fly with him and she bimndly as- sented, Ai midnight last night Miss Johnson's relatives Stated that they Kuew nothing of the whereabouts of Mr. Cook, but that they kuew that he had been in this city once or twice at least sluce last Friday, and believed he was erratically roaming between New York and Philadelphia. HIS POSITIVE WHEREABOUTS became known In a very emphatic fashion, when, pout ten o'clock, as the reporters of the World were closing up thelr reports, @ violent kick was heard at the editorial room door. mae ia,” exciatmed one. ‘The door opened, and in stwode a tall man, dressed in @ clerical uit of black.

On arriving at the station house the editor mace n formal complaint against Cook, who, a3 the ser geant proceeded to write dowa his “pedigree,” ges ticulated tn @ theatrical way. “What is your name?” asked the sergeant. “Horaee Cook,” was the reply, “What is your occupation t"" “A minisier of the Gospel.” The sergeant iooked up at bim with a sneer, but Cook did now perceive it, he being too mtent upon “taking the measure’’ of the complainant.

He sat down on the stone seat for @ moment after he doorman had gone, and, with bis face buried in 18 hands, rocked himself to and fro, a moan escaping from Dis lips every once in & while as though he was suffering the most intense agony. All of @ sudden he started to bis fect, and, still holding his fore- head between his hands aa if endeavoring to crush the pain that was torturing bim, peered out between the iron bara, The prisoner next to him was gaz! at him intently, not knowing wuo the new arriv as. “Have you a knife about you?" asked Cook, in a husky voice, and bis eyes glared fiercely aa he spoke. “What do yon ask thut for?” asked the other pris- oner, “Well, if yon have one let me have It, andask no questions,” replicd Cook. Atthat moment the doorman came down and lt the gas to its full veighs, and the prisoner who had been asked™for tie kniig beckoned to him to come to the grating of bis cell, and then Inrormed him of what Cook tad requested. Thus put upon his guard, the Moorman told ine sergeant of the state of affairs, and two men were at once placed 11 cells ¢opposite to the minister to watch ils movements and give an alarm ia case of his being detected tn any atiemnpt to take his itie. “IN VIEWED"? A little after ten o'clock a H#narp reporter called tosee him.
