The great raid upon the same gettle- ent last summer was very damaging to its on-taxpaying whiskey makers; buf when ey can stand two such raids within a year, it jomes evident that their plan of operations very systematic and very extensive, and at the amounts of whiskey which they throw pon the market, saving the internal revenue of fifty cents a gallon, must be very large. It is probable, however, that General Pleason- , the Internal Revenue Commissioner at ashington, will keep up these raids pntil the istillers concerned are cleaned out or brought 0 submission to the laws. A Hixt To THE BENEVOLENT.—Poor people want work more than they do alms, How much better it would be for our millionnaires to t up some magnificent public improvement— Or to push ahead smartly those already com- mencéd—that might employ thousands of poor Jaboring men, and invest a dozen or so fifty $honsand dollar contributions in paying the doterest on several millions of city bonds jssned for the purpose of raising money for faid improvements?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 1871. The National Council of the Union League at the White House—The President Approves of the Organization, A committee, consisting of Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, President of tne National Council of the Union League; Governor Newell, of New Jersey, chairman of the Executive Committee} Congress- men Asper, of Missouri; Rainey, of South Carolina; Negicy, of Pennsylvania; Clark, of Texas, and Messrs. Redstone, of California, and Cook, of the District of Columbia, members of the Executive Committee, called upon the President tnis morning and were received by him in his private office. Gov- ernor Geary addressed the President in behalf of the committee, and said that they had called to pay their respecta to the Executive of the nation and head of the republican party. They came, also, to tender assurances of complete support on the part of the Leagne of the measures of the repuolican party, He concluded by expressing the hope that the measures which had been so success- fully carried out during the present administration would be perpetuated for the good of the country for many years to come, While he knew that everything was being done (o preserve the party intact, the President had their renewed assurances of fealty to the administration, and that the League would increase its usefulness and ¢Meiency during the next two years, PRESIDENT GRANT'S REMARKS. In response to the remarks of Governor Geary President Grant said that it was very Important the Union party should be strengthened and bound to- gether. His faith was in the mission of that party, and until its work was completed he would be the enemy of ali dissensions or plans to divide the party. With reference to the Union League, he had upon other occasions given the Executive Committee assurances of his confidence in that organization, aud he would now reiterate what he had before sald, that he desired it shonld succeed, and hoped it would receive the support of the republican party throughout the country. VIEWS OF MEMBERS OF THR COMMITTEE. Governor Newell, of New Jersey, chairman of the Executive Committee, remarked that it was the de- sire of the League to testify tts Confidence in the administration in every way possible, and told the Presidént that at the meeting held yesverday a de- termination to extend the operations of the League ‘was concurred in by all the members of the Execu- tive Committee. Joseph H. Rainey, of South Caro- lina, the colored Congressman, gave an account of the workings of the League in that State, and said it was indispensable to thesuccess of the republican party in the South. It was held in the highest esteem by colored people, especially as it was the first Union organization to help them in the work of enfran- chisement. Mr. Redstone, of California, also ex- pressed the opinion that this organization was indis- pensaple to the success of the republican party in California, and trusted that it would extend its operations into the Southwestern States. The committee, after shaking hands with the President, retired, highly pleased with the cordial manner in which they had been received, especially as the President gave them to understand that he would aid the organization in every way possible that was consistent witn his position. The committee subsequently called upon the Sec- retaries of War, Treasury and Interior, and also upon the Postmaster General, for the purpose of conferring with them respecting the future opera- tions of the League, and were well received. At a meeting of the committee at Willard’s to-day the following resolution was unanimously adopted:— Resolved, That the Executive Committee of the Union League of America Lelie 4 expresses its en- tire sympathy with the National Unien Labor move- ment, and that it offers to shat organization its hearty co-operation, in the beltef that it must tend to improve the*condition of labor in the United States, ag weil a8 to advance the material prosperity of the country. Governor Geary represents the League a3 In good only pleasant reminiscences of refreshing visits to Albany of the directors of the various com- panies interested. order throughout the State of Pennsylvania and be- lieves it will give aid to the republican party at the next Presidential election, The aim, however, will be to extend its operations in the Southern States, where its workings are known to be necessary for the success of the republican party hereafter. The St. Domingo Matter te be Probed to the Bottom, Andrew T. White, a member of the St. Domingo Commission, arrived to-day and had a pleasant in- terview with the President. The President said to Mr. White that he was earnestly anxious to have everything probed to the bottom. He remarked further, with @ broad smile, that he wanted all villany exposed, if they could find any, and special search to be made for those lots on Samana Bay said to be marked Grant, Babcock, &o, He further sald that he trusted he was as open to conviction against the policy of annexation as he was desirous that others should be converted to such policy. General Sigel and the St. Domingo Cowmins- sion. The reason why General Sigei declined to act as secretary of the St. Domingo commission was ex- plainef to the President to-day ina letter received from him. He was under the impression that in the capacity of secretary of the commission he would have to speak Spanish fluently and have the entire work of preparing the report of the conversations had wath the people of the island. As he could not converse in Spanish well enough to answer his ideas of the duties of the office assigned him he declined toact. Upen receiving this communication the Pre- sident at once telegraphed to General Sigel, regret- ting that he had formed such an impression, and inviting him to accompany the commission as an invited guest. It is understood, therefore, that Gen- eral Sigel will go to St, Domingo, but net in an ofi- clal capacity. Scientific Exploration of St. Domingo. At the request of the Commissioner of Agriculture the President has authorized him to send the botanist of the department with the Commissioners to St. Domingo to collect seeds, plants and minerals, and to study the mature of its climate, its adapta- bility for plantations of cinchona (for quinine), the price of Isbor and various matters connected with the objects of nis department. Republicanism a Failure at the South—Ne Mere Reconstruction Needed. ‘The reply which the President sent to the Senate yesterday to Senator Morton’s resolution, with re- gard to the cendition of affairs in the Southern States, has made but little impression upon the Senate. With the exception of a few extreme radi- cals, Who are anxious to perpetuate the power of the republican party in the South, there ts no disposi- tion to meddle with affairs in that section. Any- thing like a fresh attempt at raconstruction would, it fa thought, react upon the administration and make it obnoxious before the people. The majority of Congressmen are disposed to let the South alone, believing that it is better to do this than to interfere with affairs which belong exclusively to the several States. Notwithstanding, an effort will probably be made to make some capital out of the facts set Payine Too Muon For THE PieTAiL.—A humorously inelined Hibernian in Cincinnati has been sentenced to thirty days’ hard laber for clipping off the pigtail of a heathen Chinee. It is plain to be seen that Cincinnati judges recognize the fact that John Chinaman, like Sambo, has rights which we are bound to respect. But isn’t this sentence rather rough ‘on poor Pat, whose love of fun is proverbial ? Isn't it paying rather too much for the pig- tail? Personal Intelligence.

The Judiclary Committee of the Senate had another session to-day on the case of the Georgia Senators. The deeper the committee gets in its in- vestigations the more mixed the case becomes, It 4s dificult now to tell which of the several braces of Senators claiming seats from Georgia were elected legally, or whether they were elected at all. One of the applicants, Foster Blodgett, is accused of securing his election by anything but honorable means, and, after his election, of securing the passage of a law, the effect of which is to prevent the Legislature chosen last fall from electing a Senator, and to make him Senator for six years from the 4th of March next. Blodgett is one of the Bullock factien, and there is evidence before the committee to show that he played this little game with the connivance of the Governor. Enabling Act¢ for Colorade and New Mexico. Mr. Cullom, chairman of the House Committee on Territories, endeavored to-day to have a day set apart for reports trom his Committee. As there 18 nO prospect of its being called in its regular order this session he is anxious to report two enabling acts, one for Colorado and one for New Mexico. Mr. Cullom says it is tmportant that these bills Sneuld be passed at session, so that during tite time which will transpire between the adjeurnment of Congress in spring and its meeting next Decem- ber the people of New Mexico and Colorado may be able to form State governments and be ready for admisston into the Union.

Cooke, of this city, with several Western members of Congress, called upon Secretary Bout- well this afternoon to get his views on the bill intro- duced into Congress in accordance with the memo- rial of the National Immigration Convention, asking ‘Uhat custom officials shall be made the agents of the vernment in all matters relating to leasaigeation. ‘ne Secretary said he had not read the bill, nor had he had time to sufliciently censider the subject. After hearing the explanation offered by Mr. Cooke, that it would take the matter out of the hands of State authorities entirely and make the government the protector of immigrants until they reached their destination, Secretary Boutwell said he would think the matter over, and desired the comm ittee to call again.

All the Brains, Blood and Beauty of Boston Present. Immense Enthusiasm and Admiration and a Few Roughs. FEOHTER’S PARTING SPEECH Boston, Jan. 14, 1871. Charles Fechter has finally wound up his eventful career a8 maniger of the Globe theatre, and if he has not gone out in a biaze of glory, he has at least disappeared amid a blaze of dazziing splendor. His complimentary benefit, tendered him as an appreciation of his rare histrionic ability, was, to use @ phrase as slangy as it is emphatic, ‘@ five feet bumper.” Nothing like it in the line of theatrical benefits ever took place in Boston, and possibly not in the whole country. There were a great many who went, of course, to show their sincere admiration of the denefictare, and these were mostly of the class who dwell in the swell fronts of Beacon street, the Back Bay and the South End. Besides these there were very many more who were attracted simply on ac- count of their hearty and supreme disgust of the traits in Mr, Fechter’a eharacter which have been so often affpiayea before the public, and which have won for him anything but an enviable reputation in this vicinity. It isa transparent fact that the fecling of indignation against him was so bitter in many quarters that serious fears of a dis- turbance were entertained, and not @ few of the rougher element were on hand to indulge in the Hittle pastime of a rumpys if a favorable opportunity should omer, Fortunately, however, everything pemed off peaceably, and the services of an’ extra lorce of police were not called into requisition. THE RUSH FOR TICKETS. All day long there was arush for tickets unpal- ralieled in the history of the theatre. Of course there were few or n@ seats to be had, and the curious throng had to be content with tickets for standing accommodation only. At twilight the crowd began to imereaso very perceptibly, and by six o'clock it was immense, A line was formed from the box office, which extended out into Washingtcn street, and in a northerly direction along the sidewalk for a distance of seve- ral blocks. althouch Mr. Drake served them with the requisite pasteboards with lightutng rapidity the line seemed to increase rather than diminish, and at @ quarter to eight, when the cartain went up, there were hundreds and hundreds who were not supplied, THE SCRAMBLE FOR SEATS. The throng at this time was tremendous. The broad entrance was packed to Its full capacity with a flood of swaying humanity. Now and then there would be au ironical remark which would be caught up all along the tine, and occasionally a round of cheering would go up for the beneficiary, followed by another for Wallack, then another for Cheney and Chanfran, and soon. During all this time the so-called ¢itte of the community, those who got their tickets at the Music Hall auction, were Tapidly arriving. The space in front not occupied by the tide of humanity was filled with elegant turnouts, The carriages came from the south in regular line, halted fora moment at the entrance te allow the occupants to alight, and then passed rapidly along to make way for the almost endless Jam behind. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS REPRESENTED AND MANY DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE PRESENT. It was one of the most distinguished and fashion- able parties ever assembled together in New Eng land. Millions of dollars were there manifested, not only in the dazzling richness of a hundred or more diamond rures, bus in the general pe evenee ol bo scene. cecor ing , perhaps, has ever m —_gathere Rhaer one roof in Boston which presented so many noteworthy features. Harvard College was there in oe pore 1 some of its professors, with their hands neatly encasea in black kids and their lips closely fastened about their tvory headed canes; and the clergy, also, among the liberal denomi- nations, was represented. Youn, Beacon sireet and bloods from the Neck sported festively in black broadcloth, and kids a size too small, Their apne little persons were encased in the ughtest of all tight fitting pants, and their feeble aspirations for mustaches and English whiskers never shone forth more prominently. They, too, carried canes, but of a size suited to thelr diminu- tive physical abilities, and a disinterested observer migut possibly have come to the conclusion that “the brainless puppets” were not ali behind the green curtain which hid the stage. Seriously speak- ing, however, there was a very 1 represen- tation of capital and respectability. It would not be too rash to that the amount of money in the house was not surpassed even by the gathering at the meeting of tne credi- tors of Mr. Oakes Ames tn this city last week. THE TOILETS. The ladies were attired in gorgeous array. All the beauty of Boston, or at least that considered to be among the von ton, filled the seats in the orches- tra, the parquet and even in the remote sec- tions of the gallery. Full opera costume Was exactly régle, and powdered heads and ermine cloaks were everywhere to be witnessed. Many of the ladies were dressed en décolleté, and some of them shivered with bare arms and uncovered chests. The “made land,’ as Bostonians love to cailit, showed itself in the fullest grandeur, = many were there whose ancestors helped make the soil on which they lived. The* toilets were of the most splendid description. Two young misses, well known in fashionable circles, were at- tired alike in party dresses of white satin and pure ermine, and both Wore diamonas whose cost might be reckoned by thousands of dollars. An amusin; incident, oy the way, occurred at their entrée into the theatre. Unfortunately they had lost thetr escort in the crowd, and were at first bothered anout obtaining admittance. The genial counte- nance of Mr.Harry McGlegen, the business mani of the theatre, attracted their attention, as it does everybody's else, amd they narrated the history of their trouble to him. ‘*What do you want me to do, ladies?” inquired Mr. McGienen. “Oh, anything; only do get us out of this horrid crowd. Susie's arms are just as cold as they can be, and I am not a bit too warm myself.” “But you haven’t any tickets?’ .‘‘No; but Edwin bought them, ana we can’t find him anywhere. Oh, dear! what shail we do?’ and the er Wrapg her little hands m deep despair. jut Harry was equal to the emergency, and escorting his fair charges to the se- cinsion of his own office he soon sought and ob- tained their companion. A profusion of thanks concluded the interview, THE PROGRAMME OF THE PERFORMANCE. The programme of the evening consisted of the favorite drama of ‘Ruy Blas,” and the domestic arama of “A Sheep in Wolfs Clothing.” In the first piece Mr. Fechter assumed the role of Ruy Blas, and Frank Roche that of Don Salluste, the character, by the way, which Was assigned to Mr. Wailack, and the refusal of which by that gentleman was the beginning of all the Globe theatre trouble and scandal. GO.rlotta Leclercq, who, in & Fyne sense, is a part of Mr. Fechter, played the part of the Princess New- vorg. In the secoud piece Mr. Fechter did not ap- pear, but Miss Leclercq assumed a leading part in the rdle of Anne Carew. THE CURTAIN RUNG UP. When the preliminary performance of the orches- trahad finished, at quarter to eight, the curtain went up, and the vast multitude was instantly, simultaucously silent. Every minute that the play occupied before Fechter came on seemed an hour. Finally, when the eventful and proper moment bad arrived, he came in boldly, herotcaily, aimost majestically, though still maintaining [the obeisant manner in keeping with the character which he had assumed in the play. The applause of welcome which greeted bim was loud, long and frequentiy repeated. Jt seemed, in fuck, 8 ‘Hip, if the cheering never would end, ip, hurrah!’ echoed and echoed the ladies meantime swinging handkerchiefs anc hand bouquets in great profusion. To all this the dist! ished beneficiary made the most graceful and dignified, bows, every one of which seemed to say, “I am Fechter, and sor this grand ovation lam gratified and grateful.” ‘The demonstrations of the audience having ceased the play went on, and all were soon absorbed in it. t the end of the first act Mr. Fechter was called before the curtain, and the noisy enthusiasm which greeted him was equal to that which was manifested at the beginning of the Ly Peedi he withdrew oon and the polnate wr i Tar poania, ry pI no Zee ACT SECOND—FRCHTEE CALLED OUT.

Fechter had to descend two or three from the rear of the stage. As u the lower stair he suddenly fell, he si the whole tepped upon with & ‘see thud which echoed through theatre. The actors lookea at one another and at the prostrate Feclter with frightened amazement. He lay there as motionless as death. Some in the audience huagined him victim of he wal a eart disease; ers ia it was apoplexy; the ladies thought he had fainted, and some of the base, rougher sort, were 80 uncha- Titable as to declare him positively drunk.

Not in technique or mere digital dexterity, but tn conception and phrasing. {tis very diMcult to reconcile the many and varied episodes, which he mtroduces with that oneness of idea which characterizes the work. These appear more frequently in the first move- ment, and, although he gives full play to ms illimitable fancy, yet there is a simple foundation, a subject, a ligature, which binds all, The scherzo 1s supremely lovely, and the minuet betrays his early oreasnes + but she appeared 4,0? suMert ane f cold whiea prev ated, Sp ‘ore her’ voies, |W! “soft and a he . in roman, ak Margaret, farang” iw een, voicé and action, Was very good, and © performers in she Piece, 40 well known, i¢ be, DAFGIy Decessary co say more than that they fully ™ their wéll earned reputations, The per bee=<d throughout from point to point was heartity & > lauded, including several recalla with the fall The curtain, and, from the unqualified sncoems of ny experimental execution, we have no doubt that, an occasional change from “Richeliea,” “Love an: Loyalty” will be many times repeated. THE BRITISH NAVY. The Question of the Dominion of the Seas. Dxtraordinary Hfforts to Porpetuate the Claim. Lonpon, Jan, 13, 1871. England is about to make a grand, perhaps a final, effort for the assertion of her claim to the dominiom of the seas, She ts rapidly reinforcing her naval power, I can inform you that extraordinary efforts are being made to place the entire British Navy in @ sea worthy condition, Tue work upon all thayrar ships now im course of construction or repair gt the several dockyards has been ordered to be pressed te immediate completion by the Admiralty, The Work, Its Force and Places of Construc~ tlon—Gunbeats, Turret Ships and Huge Rams. Drawing on the most reliable sources for our facta We are enabled to illustrate the cable telegram news, which we publish above, by presenting to the read- ers of the HeraLp the following complete list of the vessels which were in course of construction as re- inforcements to the British Navy, on the 27th of Lecember, 1870, We also enumerate the several Plgpes at which they are being built—in the dock- yards and by private mrms—ana classily the vessels by register and armament thus, viz.:— Arrow, 1, doubie-screw tron gunboat, 245 tons, md zs-horse power, building by Messrs, Rennie, a& irecuwich.

He surprises the listener by these unlooked-for episodes, and gradu- ally brings the mind back to the original subject, no matter how far from it he may have wandered. This 4s the grand, striking characteristic of bis works, to make variety dependent on unity. But the Moon- light Sonata ta the chef dauvre of his and of all piano works, Never was the word true poem more appropriately applied. Our recollections hinge on two great interpreters of this work, Charles Halié and Arabella Goddard. To both i was an layi to which every pulsation of their hearts responded. The was beneath their fingers an ethereal creation before which faded away the material World and the land of . dreams was unfolaed. Both works are almost too sacred for the concert hall. We have heard them dropping from the inspired fingers of a pianist when the shades of evening nad fallen and the room became lightsome with the radiance of poetry. Miss Krebs did not come up to our idea of & true interpreter of these works. There was too much of the shop about her playing. Faultiess technique, uted; but @ lack of color, phrasing and artistic feeling. The phrasing, for instance. A rustic, anybody, can read Byron or Tennyson, per- haps always correctly; but few can catch the divine spark that smoniders beneath eact Une. To interpret a Beethoven sonata requires something morethan mere digital dexterity, Un- derneath those simple triplets which represent the shimmering of the moonlight in the © sharp mmor sonata lies a world of poetry and feeling. Puck and his sprites peep througa every bar of the scherzo of the opus 20, (We believe this should be called opus 81.) There 1s a story about the “Katzenfugue,” which one may believe or not. It1s said that Scar- Jatti was awakened one night by the tones of his harpsichord, over which stepped daintly a favorite cat. The animat chanced to stnke pecuilar keys, and instantly the frenzy of composi- tion roused the musician. He wrote an extraordi- nary fugue from the extraordinary subject which his jeline companion gave him. True or not, as the story may be, the “Katzenfugue” is a remarkable work, enurely out of the beaien path, Miss Krebs played it with a nervous power, distinctness and spirit which alone would entitle her to the admira- on and respect of any musician, She does not feel Chopin any more than Beethoven; hence was lost the delicacy ana tenderness of the “Impromptu’—those fine, ethereal threads which seem not to belong to our nature, but to the fairy world. With Schumann she was more at home, for the enormous dimculties of the *Novelette’? were playthings in her bands. The work 1s 4 novei and fantastic creation, rather and heavy in color and wanting in delicate penculings which we admire. ‘@ hear too | litti® of Rubenstem in this city. His waltz, F | major, is exquisite. He delights in strong contrasts, and his interpreter must be entirely en rupport with him, iss Krebs’ rendering was forcible, spirited and intelligible, but lacked in producing those strong contrasts of light and shade which are essential to bring out the beauties of the work, Liszt's work was a surprise, as it was entirely out of bis usual line. A pretty little mazourka subject 18 worked up In a semi-bravura style, and possesses: not a bar of unintelligibility. There is something so fresh, sparkling and melodious about his treatment that it is no wonder that those present could | Searcely believe their eyes when they found Liszt’s name attached to the work, Miss Krebs made it her pétce de résistance, and her ren- dering was superb. We never beard her to better advantage. Her mother was not in good voice, an unconquerable hoarseness clouding the beauty of her weil cultivated contralto voice. She sang her | husband’s charming lied, “Valencia’s Rose,” better than her other selections. It is indeed a tine con- ception, The melody is 80 fresh and hearty that it carries the listener along and leaves an rmpression of delight, We trust that the works ol this eminent composer, Carl Krebs, will be heard more {re- quently in this city, for they unite freshness and beauty with the highest artistic cuitivatton. Boorn’s THEATRE.—“‘Love and Loyalty,” a roman- tic drama, in five acts, by James Robertson, was the attraction at this house last evening, and there was an attraction in the suggestive words, “love and loyalty,” which filled the house. The title might apply to love in any part of the world, and to loyalty in this important matter or in various other things; but the scene of this play {s England, and the time 1663, in the reign of Charles the Second, the so-called “Merry Monarch,” and the loyaity of this drama means loyalty to the King. That period of England’s history of revolution, re- those constraction, and of reaction and of the kingly restoration, covering the popular revolt against Charles L., his bloody everthrow and execution, the rule of the Roundheads, the protectorate of Crom- Welland the restoration of the Stuarts, is exceed- ingly rich in dramatic materiais. The contrasts be- tween the gay, gallant and foppish{cavaliers, and the rough, uncouth, slouchy, psalm-singing, Scrip- ture-quoting, but terrible and resistiless Roundheads; the war to the aeath between these parties, and the conspiracies and cemplications between them, po- titieal and social, furnish the finest materials for eae effects and the elements for the most teresting plots fer the stage that playwright could desire. Mr. Roberton has seized upon these elements. The “Merry Monarch” is on the throne; but (1968) an werless, are still scheming - One of se Master Vermont (Fenno) is the plotter of this the and meantime has not been 01 from bis il, which was the Cy I royalist slain at Naseby.
