Salem, Fauquicr county, Va., was yesterday the scene of considerable life and activity. Along the fences of all its houses—both public and private— ‘Were hitched fine but dusty horses, all saddled and Dridied, and on the roadside were any number of Vehicies belonging to the residents of the adjoining villages and county, while strolling along or stand- ing in front of one of the three public houses were gentlemen-who had come for the purpose of listen- fng to a joint discussion on the Presidential ques- tion between General Eppa Hunton and Colonel John 8, Mosby, in accordance with an arrange- ment heretofore made, the first named advocating the cause of Grecley and Brown, and the latter that of Grant and Wilson. Among the visitors Were several. gentlemen who are aspirants for the nomination for Congress on the Greeley and Brown ticket to succeed Hon. Lewis McKenzie, and before the regular discussion began three of them, Major “Top” Hull, of Culpepper, Dr. 0. T. Hill, of Alexandria, and Mr. Clayton, of Alexandria, addressed the audience. A ROMANTIC MEETING PLACE. ‘The spot selected for the “rab’ was a beautiful @ak grove, about midway of the village, carpeted with bright tinted grass and most admirably | ‘adopted for the purpose. A platform of rough rae ite wi of the wo! Had they done it? Oh,no) The Septnatied Ee Ly the victors, and in military government, domeluis, “even to this & lence was rendered, composed as it was rst species of CARPET-BAGGERS AND SCALAWAGS, who unbdlushingly swindled the people and robbed them of their money. This was superseded by the present government, when Grant, to his credis, per- mitted them to take'a separate vote on the clauses disfranchising them and rendering them ineligible toeffice, For thia he thanked him. But on the third important section he woud not allow them to vote. On and by that prohibition the present township organization was forced upon them agaimet their will, But they accepted what they could get, nominated ‘Gilbert ©, Walker, elected him and were admitted to the Union once more, The Walker movement, although on asmaller scale, ‘was the same as the movement they are now en- gaged in. He would, of course, have preferred @ man of their own creed, but that was impossible, and as Walker had turned out to be s0 good a Gov- ernor he thought the experiment should be repented in the case of Greeley, who, he was sure, wonld do what was right and proper. He then proceeded to review THE ADMINISTRATION OF GENERAL GRANT, beginning by declaring that he believed if he were re-elected and hig grasping centralized ideas car. nied out, instead’ of having a republican form of government we would have a central despotism, In proof of this he called attention to the clection act of February, 1871, giving United States Marshals power to make arrests at elections, instead of State oMmcials, by which, he said, he wou.d be sure to carry elections, The next was a law which, in his opinion, had done more harm than any other act, THE KU-XLUK BILL, which placed It in the hands of the carpet-baggers and sealawags who were then scattered through the South to fabricate complaints inst citizens and have them arrested, tried and imprisoned by United States judges. He then read from the minor ty report of the Ku Klux Committze the opinion of R. H, Kane, a colored man of Sout Carolina, about carpet-baggers, and Horace Gree- Jey's famous ed torial on the same subject, Busse, he sad, are the people sent down to govern an rule the high-toned people of the South, and the manner in which they acted caused the people to band together, not for political purposes, but to protect thetr lives, the lives of their wives and chil- dren and Shale groperty. and because they did so Congress passed the infamous law and invested the President with the gover to declare martial law. He thanked God the power had never been exer- cised in Virginia, but in North and South Carolina hundreds of people were arrested and contined, and some of them were still lying tn jail await- ing trial. He cited several instances in which the said people became alarmed at this state of af fairs and were fleeing from their homes, when this was seized on as a pretext for arrest. In the face of all this he called ee his hearers to rally as one man and say this Grant administration is not worthy of trust. He next referred to THE SAN DOMINGO TREATY, charging that the President had attempted to ex- pend $1,500,600 of the people’s money without con- sulting them or their representatives, and, failing in that, attempted to bribe Senator Schurz into supporting it by the promise that he should have the entire patronage in his State, Is that right? He asked, are the offices to be thus bargained away to gratify unjust illegal personal whims of Gran‘ and the old tests “Is he honest?” “Is he capable?” forever thrown aside ? DEFAULTING COLLECTORS AND OFFICIALS. t Speke xt the defalcations of the officers ‘ant, reaching millions upon millions of which the people even of this section are called on to make good. What was to be done? ‘They had tried to defeat Grant in 1868 by a regular nomination, but the hates and feelings engendered in the different sections allowed him to be clected by three hundred thousand majority. Was that to be tried over? A majority of the republicans wanted to re-elect him, but the wisest and best of them determined to rise in their strength, try and rally around them all the good men of the ee they could and elevate a proper man to that hig! office. The Convention met, and instead of nomi- nating the FAVORITE MAN OF THE SOUTH they nominated Horace Greeley, of New York, and called on all the disaffected men of the country to aid in his election. Horace Greeley was well known to them all. He did not stand there to de- fend his record before the war, which was full of bitterness and enmity to the South and her institu- tions, but that is dead, When Lee surrendered it was buried and Horace Greeley’s, avocation as an abolitionist was gone. In his judgment it was bet- ter for them to accept the nomination than tomake one Just for the sake of making It. The people de- cided that for themselves, and sent delegates to Baltimore to ratify the action of the Cincinnati Itberals. HORACE GREFLEY MAD ACCEPTED the nomination at their hands, and his letter of acceptal was a condemnation of the high-handed outrages perpetrated by Grant and his party under the name of law. There was not a word in it to which they could object, so that whatever may have been his past record he was with them now, and the only question is whether they shall take him with his pledges, or Grant who had so long tried to ruin them and rather subvert than govern thém, Now is achance to change for the better. Try it anyhow, and if Greeley carries out the principles of the platform on which he was nominated, there 1s not aman in the South who cannot support him. Btr‘tes, ve. Wi ment. was my, it stead forced to and support one of two men, and he took ‘Grant because ‘was the least objectloua- ble, and because he was the fairer of the two. Gen- eral Hunton had said the platform condemned the Ku-Klux act. This he ds and he would read aletter from Reuben E. Fenton, one of the most Mi arbele "8 et See ES Cans ant ir. Greeley man Ww! rons fohn Harper does Longfellow. oe then meee the letter of Mr. Fenton, urging enforcement of more rous measures for the the ith amendment than the Enforcement Act and the Ku-Klux law. Why, Mr. Greeley himself, in his letter of acceptance— evaded the point When hoe said the civil law should be supreme over the military. Nobod: doubts that it was acunningly drawn paragrap! for circulation both North and South, and sus- ceptible of two constructions. But the great point in Mr, Greeley’s favor with Genera) Hunton was that he wanted to SHAKE HANDS ACROSS THE BLOODY CHASM. Well, now, he didn’t make the offer until after 6 nomination, and would like to see an ambitious candidate who wouldn’t hands with most anybody to secure his vote, no matter if it was over a bloody chasm. (Laughter and iause.) When the cali for theConvention at Cincinnati was first made, a copy had been sent to him, and from It he read the names of the signers, Of all the names Schurz was the only. one who was not now opposed to Greeley, and he ‘would he in opppoel- tion if it were not that he had been made President of the Convention. But as an evi- dence that he was chagrined at the nomination, it is only necessary to mention, he fargot to announce the result of the ballot, The battle cry of the one. sition was, “Anybody to beat Grant.” ‘That wis the platform, the creed, the prayer of the liberals; it was the Alpha and Omoga of thelr alphabet. Bu who did they pick up? “anybody to beat Grant!” Why, an old political rake—a constitutional, life- long growler—a man whose only objection to Grant was that he and all his schemes had not been properly considered. (Applause.) A BONE FOR GERMANS TO PICK, Ho (the speaker) haa attended the Baltimore Convention, aud saw John T, Hoffinan, the Governor of the great State of New York, rise in his place and present what he said was a petition of 15,000 Germans for the nomination of Greeley, while he believed it wasan old petition in regard to the excise law with a new heading put to it. Those were nice men to talk about reform. (Applause.) But this double nomination was the richest thing of all. The so-called Cincinnati Convention was a mob, a gens assembled together without any constituents, ey drew up a declaratioi of pri ray met nomi- nated Greeley and left. The Raltimore Convention was composed of-delegates who represented con- stituencies, but unluckily had no principles. 80 the two fused. The first furnished the principle: and the second the voteré—(applause)—and calle it all they could ao for the democracy. He called it SELLING OUT —(applause)—and selling out to the worst of men. There was Ashley, of impeachment fame, who had been madé Governor of Montana, but was ejected for malfeasance, (Laughter.) There was N. P. Banks, but he was fn truth a liberal, for had he not, while in the valley, supplied Jackson with six months provision free of cost, just for the Saking. (Laughter and applause.) nd so he might go on. They were the oddest lot of bum- mers, politically speaking, ever got together, made up of the odds and ends of all the parties ¢ver in existence, with but one common tie to bind them in their work of hate. There was but one other gathering in this world at alllike them, That was BARNUM’S HAPPY FAMILY. vpisuee.) And these were the men who pre- sumed to sit in judgment on him and teach him his political jpsnaiplee: (Applause,) Another strong joint with them was that St. Domingo business, He didn’t know or care anything about it, except that Mr. Grant had offered to purchase it for a sum of money. Mr. Jefferson had purchased Louisiana in the same way, and he dian’t think bent rryrees who are growling about this island would like to give Louisiana back. {Ap- pow) Another indictment against Grant was he bayonet law. Both Mr. Greeley and his plat- form endorse that. Grant didn’t ask Congress to pas it; Greeley did and insisted on it, and he thought that a man advocating Mr. Greeley's elec- tion had a hard cheek to come before Southern peo- ple and find fault with Grant for enforcing it. GENERAL HUNTON OBJ RCTS to having M™. Grocley’s past record produced and says he is not here to defend it. This also was a new phase in politics, gentlemen on the stump avowing that they are ashamed of the record of their candidate. He intended, though, to intr strait he for his candidate, How did he get the nomination? Why, as everybody knows, by the chicanery of the Tammany thieves, who, in order to get possession of the government, picked a man (Applause. ) they knew they could use, @ man who had been the alleged scarecrow of both continents for the past ten years, Horace Greeley was a man whose chief claim to distinction was his intolerant hate of the South, the wearing of a white hat and Spee | down Broadway with one leg of his breeches stuck in his boot. (Laughter and applause.) They wanted to make the masquerade complete, and they could not have selected @ more appropriate candidate, not EVEN DOLLY VARDEN HERSELF. And still Southern men thought he could b> elected and give them oiice. If that was what ey wanted he advised them to take chances in voting for Grant, who was sure to be elected, These He then spoke of some of the good deeds of Greeley to the South, especiaily his editorials on amnesty and his batling Jeff Davis, after which he read Mr. Greeley's response to the Union ne of New York, who took him to task for that act, Another question which arose was - COULD THEY ELECT 1M? hewn boards had been erected about the centre, under aclump of trees, whose foliage defied the | rays of the sun and afforded apleasant protection to | the orators. Scattered throngh the grounds were | the usual itinerant venders of soda, lemonade, ice | cream, cakes, who always congregate at such points, and who seemed to do a good business, THE AUDIENCE. ‘The audience was composed of about five hun- _ dred wales, of whom, probably, fifty were colored men. Manyofthem had ridden miles to listen to | ‘the debate, and as an evidence of their earnestness | it may be mentioned that they remained willing | and observant listeners until its conclusion at nearly eight o'clock inthe evening. They repre- | sented allagesand conditions in life, from the hoary-headed patriarch who had voted for Jackson and the democratic ticket a lifetime to the new maé>-man whose vote was for the first time to he wast at the coming election; from tho iviiily pos- Sessor of broad acres to the man who worked the land on shares, and the negro who had labored for his bread; but all was good nature. The spirit of caste seemed to he set aside, and on the cofimon devel of manhood all met to listen and dispassion- ately consider the great subject whtch had brought them together—“The future of the country.” GREELEY’S CHIVALKOUS CHAMPION. Genera: Eppa Hunton, who represented and spoke for the Greeley party, is a man of about forty-five years of age. He was born in Prince | William county, Virginia, and entering the service of the State and confederacy early in the war con tinned in that position until the close, at which time he was a Brigadier General, He is about six feet in height, well proportioned, weighing about | 180 pounds, of sandy complexion and hair, light | blue eyes, sharp pointed nose and with a somewhat | retreating forehead. His neck is adorned witha small supply of red whiskers, @ la Greeley. His Voice is aeep and sonorous, and his style dugmatic, and while he might have made a general, It is evi- dent as a stump speaker he is not a success. GRANT'S CONFEDERATE DEFENDER. John 8. Mosby, or as he is more familiarly known, Colonel Mosby, is a man whose looks entirely belle his reputation—at least toa casual observer. He 4s about five feet seven inches in height, about ‘Uirty-five years of age, slender build with rather broatl shoulders, which are now slightly rounded; his eye Is a piercing gray, his nose perfect and ‘aquiline, his Ups¢hin and compressed, and his chin ‘Slightly jutting, makes up a face indicative of great strength of character. His hair ts of a light brown, | eut close, and is face is closely shaven. THis votce | 16 peculiar, as 1s the man, being in the higher notes | sharp and decisive, and in the lower ones soft and melodious. People may say what they will, Mf the gathering of yesterday was any index to the. opinion of the stay-at-homes, then the ex- Confederate Chief has far more strength than they have been willing to admit. The time set for the beginning of the argument was three o'clock, and | promptly at the appointed hour both gentlemen pi ascended the platform, and the ball was opened by | General Hunton, who was introduced by Colone! | Payne. HUNT ON OPENS THE BALL FOR HORACE. The Gencral began by saying that they had met to discuss the merits of two gentlemen who were now before the country as candidates for the Presi- dency—Horace Greeley on vehalf of the liberal re- or ‘ab and democrats, and Ulysses 8. Grant on half of the radical republicans. He was there to p teed in the interest of the former, and his friend jlonel Mosby to advance the claims’ of the latter, The questions to be discussed were of the deepest interest to all, a8 they involved the future | to define his position an If they could not elect Horace Greeley they couldn't elect anybody, and those who ald not vote must re- member they cust halfa vote for Grant. The dem- ocratic party in the North and 100,000 republicans and the entire vote of the South would be cast for him. He referred to the North Carolina election, claiming it as a great conservative victory, the first of the series which were to depose Grant and place Greeley in power. (Applause.) COLONEL MOSBY'S REPLY FOR ULYSSES. On rising to respond Colonel oth was received with applause and three cheers, He said he had come to discuss the great LSet topic of the day, to defend himself from the aspersions and opinions of partisans. If his counsel had prevailed those who had heretofore been fighting the great battle of constitutional lib- erty together would be united and active, pressing on honorably for success, but in an unlucky moment ' some of the leaders of the democracy were seized with an w ountable panic, and while thus de- moralized had surrendered to the enemy, Det the main enemy, byt g hand gf plunde Buntine foragers and’ “dead beats,” who had assembled al Ciucinnati and styled themselves a con’ sana \ He preferred Grant to Greeley—(applause)— | nd he came to proclaim it boldly and give is reasons for so doing. What claim had he on him, or the people with whom he lived’ Had not his ‘paper (the Tribune) for the last thirty years been a perfect Vesuvius, belching forth and SCATTERING THE HELLISH LAVA of hate and discontent through the South, tramp- ling under foot its institutions, insulting its noblest and best—in fact, doing all that devilish hate and ingenuity could suggest to qualify his malice and creed? And yet he was asked to Vote for this man | for President because the conservative party could not afford to be beaten, The party had been beaten oftentimes before. There was no dishonor in de- feat; but the fact was, they could not afford to be honest. It means that honesty is not the best policy. It means that political contests are not imaugu- rated for great principles, or, in other words, PRINCIPLES DON'T PAY} or, still further, they don't want any principles which do not pay. (Applause.) For the first time in the history ol a great party they dellberately inscribe “Spolls’’ upon their banner and expect to march to victory. According to this theory of | theirs all men who battled for principle were fools, and the gallant 300 at Thermopyle ought to have surrendered at once, gone over to the enemy and | secured as much as possible of the garbage of the camp. (Applanse.) The specious cry of the libe- rals was “corruption.” at had been the cry of | the “outs ever since he had heard of parties. But che trouble with such men was they were not corrupted. (Appiause.) But, oh, how willing they | were to be corrupted! Why, if by any accident | Greeley should be elected, the companies would have to run double daily trains to Washington in order to accommodate this patriotic crowd and ald them in their efforts to be “corrupted.” (Applause,) FIRST STAB FOR HUNTON. General Hunton had tried to make a great deal of the Walker election and this parallel, al! of which he denied. Walker had come to Virginia, entered into business, conducted himself as a gentleman, and he detied any one to say truthfully that he had been guilty of one mean act toward tho people of the South, Would his friends and backers proclaim that of Mr, Greeley; and the fact is, the worst thing which can be said against Grant is that he took Horace Greeley's advice ; waa forced by a pres- sure of circumstances to the plan then advocated by Greeley in the Tribune for crushing the people of the South, Gentlemen say Mr. Greeley has now changed, He said that Greeley had _ not c! Single spot in his radical hide. POLITICAL BEGGARS 0: Ke xt discussed the complexion of the Cincin- ition, Which, he said, Was composed of lazzaroni, beggars on horseback, suppli- ants for spolls—men who were offended with Grant because he couldn't feed them all, (Applause and shouts of “Hurrah for Grant!”) ‘These were the men. It had got so now that as soon as a radical fot Out of office or was kicked out for raseality, he fora thes air of {ijared innocence, talked sorrow: bout corruption and nepotism. 2) — and then joined the liberals. nBboD om Dr, Johnson once said that the last retuge of a scoundrel was to call himself a patriot.

In | cussing the question he would refer to the past, | not the long past, but to that eventful period just | after the war, when the people, tired with the strife, had surrendered at Appomattox. This they | did in good faith, and supposed there was mag: Banimity enough in the conquerors to ac t thetr earth to nominate. He had the tmpude insert the amnesty plank tn their patton: whee he knew full well Grant had been recommending it to Congress for two years. (Cheers for Grant.) He read several of the resolutions of the Cincinnatt platform, and said they might be good enough for some men to stand on, but they were not good | cnough for him—(applause)—and he did not think good enough for any Southern man, It contained every heresy of the old party in its most radical day, and just here he wanted to say that assurances of good faith and receive them R “Kk as Members ip good standing of the «reat conocer | HE SPURNED ALIXE BOTH PLATFORMS. Nis support of Mr. Grant was purely a Gucstion of personal preferences. He bad been | | identifcattomof “Confidential romises reminded him of the devil taking ‘he Saviour to the top of the mount and offering to give Him all the world, though at the time he did not own an acre. (Apert Well, the devil had just as much show of fultiliing his promise as orace Greeley has. (Applause). HE PREFERRED GRANT TO GRERLEY, because one was a soldier and the other a fanatic. He supported Grant because of his terms to Lee, and surely no conqueror ever bore himself more magnanimously to a vanquished foe than Grant when he returned his sword to Lee and bade The covenant made that day has him go in peace. For him there was no tri- been sacredly kept. umphal L igereien chanting humble his conquered foe. He was no Achilles to drag the his enemy around the wails of city, Suftice it for him to know that his which he had thrown his was accomplished, and he was willing to drop the curtain on the scene, (Applause and three cheers for Grant.) He then read an editorial from the Richmond Enquirer, which said that Mosby, the last man to surrender during the war, was tlie last convert to Grantism, and commenting on it, To this he replied that he believed his cause was just; but when it became hopeless he surrendered then, as now, to the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, NOT TIE SCRUBS nd scum, she Howlers gnd hangers on, bus to so NASA ice Curiae pn clates were tmperishably enrolled on the pages of his country’s history, and would be talked ol and known when the man who penned the article and his other maligne:s would be forgotton, (Ap- lause.) Idid then what Ido now. I surrendered in good faith, making & covenant which will be kept—a covenant as before between the strong and the weak, and one which will protect me, What protection can Greeley give, with his only body of the conquered followers a sutier train moving from Cincinnati to | Baltimore? (Applause.) He supported Grant, as he said before, on his (Grant's) own record, which is the best platform a man can Ifive. His friends of the South must now make their choice. It seemed to him the election of Grant was a dead certainty— that of Greeley a remote possibility. In fact, Greeley never could be @ President unless he went to Liberia, and there his election would be doubtful. (Applause.) He would support Grant because, with all his faults, nobody ever accused him ur ant a friend or violating a covenant. (Applause au cheers for Grant.) ‘MR, SUMNER MIGHT WRITR all he chose about the regenerated democracy, of which Mr. Hunton was a specimen, but for himself, if the regenerating waters consisted in voting for Greeley, he preferred to remain among the unre- generated (Long applause.) He closed by urging upon his hearers, for the reasons he had given, to vote for Grant, and when le took his seat, for Several minutes, the grove rang with the hearty cheers given for Grant and Mosby. According to the terms General Hunton was entitied to half an hour for a reply, Which he occupied, but ehtefy in explaining certain portions of his former remark, Colonel Mosby, in a five minutes’ explanatory speech, “placed himself right,” and then the meet- tog adjourn: MOSBY CHALLENGED BY WITHERS. gianni A Physician of Warrenton Throws Down the Gauntlet and Invites the Confed- erate Guerilia Chief to Make Good His Assertions Concerning Liberals, &e., Ace cording to the Old Code of Chivalry. “WASHINGTON, August 4, 1872, Growing out of the remarks made by Colonel Mosby yesterday at Salem, in the Joint discussion with General Munton, was personal feeling on the part of Dr. J.

The Last Nights of the Season—Exodus of the Upper Ten—Parliament and the Stage—Buckstone’ Benetit—Movements of Miss Batoeman’s “Medea”—Clarke, Feehter, the Bandmans, the Bouci- caults and S0thern—Miscellancous Items, Lonpon, July 20, 1872. ‘The London season 1s on its last legs. Already the streets begin to lose tho lustrous and animated aspect they wore some weeks ago, when a stream of splendid equipages kept rolling along them all day long, and not in the day alone, but also in the night; for, if the sun witnessed brilliant spectacles, the moon “took up the wondrous tale” and smiled upon sights not leas resplendent. The “Row” is thinning; 0, too, is the Park; 80 also 1s the ‘‘Z00;”” 80 likewise are the Botanical Gardens; ‘tumultuous grandeur clashes through the squares” no longer, and the glories of Burlington Arcade are melt- ing away like silver dew before the sun- beams, Everybody begins to grow sentimental, to long for the country and, like Falstaff, to ‘‘bab- ble of green fields,” Art has had her filng, and now it is time that Nature should have her turn, Next week comes Goodwood, and the races will maké a clean sweep of the fashionable denizens of the West End, Circumstances over which they have no control will drive them one and all out o¢ town when that great event comes off, and London will look well nigh as desolate as Babylon. It 1s but a few days ago that London was “as right as a trivet,” the drawing rooms of the aristocracy thronged with rank, beauty, elegance, and, better than ali three, money; the garden parties of the “Upper Ten Thousand” effulgent with social splen- dor; the parks 80 many moving panoramas of gaiety, gallantry and many-colored life; the theatres and opera-houses crowded from floor to roof with magnificent assemblages; and now the imperious votaries Fashion has sent forth her irresistible edict, and soon her palaces will be de- serted and her favorite haunts given over to dark- ness and solitude. Such are the sad vicissitudes to which all human institutions are lable. “Ubi Troja Sutt nune est seges”—Where Troy once stood there is now A cornficld—a picture of desolation for which thé Atting parallel, are perhaps, BELGRAVIA WITH THE WINDOW-BLINDS ALL DRAWN DOWN; orthe Haymarket Theatre with carpenters ham- merings, or painters brushing where Mr. Buckstone but the other night made a Jovial audience rock to and fro with laughter; or Covent Garden and Drury Lane, with bats fying about instead of the nightingales that dwell in the throats of Kellogg, Titiens and Alboni. But what of that? Carpt diem! Whetner in town or or country let us make the best of it, yielding im- Piicit obedience to “circumstances” from whose ordin»nces there is no appeal. By the way, I know aman who calls his wife “Circumstances,”’ justify- ing the appellation by reference to the unfortunate fact that he has no control over her. That man is a pda ® and ought to get a living by exhibiting himself, there being no other man on earth who is in the like predicament. If you want to know who he is he is the married man who is reading these lines of mine. Verbum sap.— Nough said, PARLIAMENT AND THE STAGE. ~ The dramatic world is ina queer state of transition, likea man “entre deux ges,” as the French say, There is a certain indefinable connection between politics and theatricals. It seems to be an under- stood thing that as long as Parliament remains sitting a certain proportion of the London play- houses shall also continue their séances; but no sooner does the Speaker, at the Queen’s com- mand, declare Parilament prorogued than the thea- tres west of'remple Bar, with very few exceptions, close their doors. Legislation at this time of the pe is little better than a farce, the House hurry- ing through its “orders” with headlong speed, and hardly tarrying to debate any question; but until the farce o! pouece is over at St. Stephen’s that of the drama will go on at most of the metropolitan theatres, Some of the managers, however, have— to use the Attic language of the prize ring—already “thrown up the sponge; and there can be little doubt that the remainder will follow their example as soon as it may be conveniently practicable to take that pleasant course. for to no men is a Pairs of the country or a sniif of sea breeze more clightful than to actors, RUCKSTONE’S BENEFIT, At the Haymarket a few nights since Mr. Buck- stone took leave of his patrons until October in a speech not altogether so jocular as usual, yet sumciently provocative of mirth, for everythin that falls froin the ps of a manager is laughed at asamatter of course. If Mr. Buckstone were to sing the “Old Hurftdreth” or to recite the Athana- siau Creed the house would be in convulsions. Such, is the advantage of having a fe lll for being fanny. For many years past it has been the prac- tice of the audience to punctuate the manager's valedictory address with garlands and nosegays; and this frequent custom was honored with a spirited observance on his benefit night, when he retired laden with floral trophies, The Haymarket company have gone on a professional tour through Scotland, Ireland and the North of England, where they mean to play “The Palace of Truth’ and “Pyg- mation and Gatatea,” with now and then one or two of Goldsmith's and Sheridan's comedies. ‘At the Lyceum a classic play entitled “MEDEA IN CORINTH,” frem the pen of Mr. W. G. Wells, has proved a great success. There is no denying the triumph of a piece which draws crowded houses night after night in the middie of July, when the sun Is on his good bebavior and everything conspires to make out of door entertainments irresistibly delightful. Miss Bateman has found in the character of the Colchian sorceress a part well suited to her talents, and she plays it with infinite zest and spirit. Her victory is all her own, the other actors performing their respective parts in a style that implies a per- version of Alexander Pope's immortal maxim, as though the couplet ran thu: Honor and shame from no condition rise, ‘Act iil your part, there all the honor les’ Mr, Wills, the author of this play, is a man of high culture and singular versatility, being not only @ successful dramatist, as is proved by the Ry ni drama, ak well aah “The Man rat 7 nd VANOHE Othe? popular pledges, but also a PA ter of rare talent and refined taste, 2° his brillant por- traits in crayons abundantly attest. Indeed, such is his skill in this diMcult and delicate department of art, that he may fairly be said to be inferior to no other artist and to he worthy to take rank with Mr. Richmond himself. That admirable artist ex- eels conspicuously in the treatment of male heads, but Mr. Wills ig to the full as successful in the still more arduous task of portraying women and children, His portraits of the Mar- chioness of Bute and the Countess of Granville are hardly to be surpassed for truthfal- Ness of expression, grace of pose and general re- finement ofexecution. He is getting into splendid eons among the aristocracy, and what between his play nd Ins pictures he must be making a pot of money. The temporary secession of Mr. J. 8. Clarke from the Strand Theatre has been somewhat injurious to the fortunes of that pleasant little playhouse, where, in the absence of the chief comedian, the management has fallen back upon two ancient mee of Mr. Byron’s—"The Old Story” and ‘Alad- din.’ MISCELLANEOUS MENTION. Mr. Fechter is still at the Lyceum, playing to pretty good houges in the romantic melodrama of “The Corsican Brothers,” in which he “doubles, as the theatrical phrase goes, the characters of the sympathetic kinsmen, performing each part with equal abilliy. His engagement will terminate with his benefit on Thursday next, when he will appear ge ge tere 1 ir, and Mra. Boucicault are playing nightly at the Gaiety in the Irish nielodpeme of tran: Pogue”?

Raphael Felix, who died last week at Norwood, after a long and severe fiiness.. M. Felix was brother of the famous 'rench actress Rachel, and had been for a short time manager of the Porte St, Martin, in Paris, At the Prince of Wales Theatre they have been act- ing “Money” for some weeks past, with results happily significant of the title of the comedy; but the seasou will close next Saturday. The Royalty, ve Mad ent and the Holborn are also on the point of closing. Mr, and Mrs, C, Mathews are in London. Mr. ©. Mathews, Jr., has just been called to the bar. Mr, Sothern is in town, having come over all the Way from the States for the express purpose of playing Lora Dundreary in the entertainment which Is to take place on Wednesday next for the benefit of the Royal Theatrical Fund. On that interesting occasion Mr. E, Coles will repre- sent Asa ‘frenchard, and Mr. Lytton Sothern will make his first appearance as Lieutenant Vernon. Asticy’s Amphitheatre is to be offered for sale by public auction on Tuesday next. Mr. Harry Clifton, a comic singer of a somewhat better type than the generality of minstrels so denominated, died on Monday last at his residence in Shepherd's bush. He was both a clever anda kind-hearted man, as his popular songs, entitled “Help One Another,” “Pulling Against the Stream" and mavy other melodics, all breathing a generous instinct, might lead one to suppose. Mr. J. Z Tyndale, the comedian, would seem to be born for trouble even asthe sparks fly upward, The other day he was nearly drowned opposite the Aquarium at Brighton, being seized with cramp while bathing, and now he has nearly got killed in trying to scale the chalk clits by the Black Rock. Tm both cases his rescue was brought about by the prowpter of the travelling company, a gentlewan NSW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT. a wh no dotbt, to the daty of aiding nen Gog uas the Strand itre’in the place ot Mr. ‘and Mr. has wos Dove bold an English x of great promise, is Svont 16 be married to an Italian tenor, SUNDAY IN THE PARK. A Limited Attendance of Pleasure Seekers Yosterday—A Rain That Was Not Rel- ished, Though It Gives Life to the Trees and Flowers. Central Park, that glorious pleasure resort in which New Yorkers take so much pride and pass so Many enjoyable hours, was comparatively deserted yesterday—that is, it was not patronized to that great extent that i¢ usual on ordinarily fine Sun- dayg. There is @ class of our citizens who are in the almost invariable habit of strolling through its shady walks in the early morning, and #8 @ rule this element among its myriad patrons is seldom to be seen therein the afternoon. This class embraces the sedate and well-to-do bachelor, who, with singular persistency, believes that his health is none of the best and requires watching. With coat tightly uttoned about bis waist and arms folded behind his ba¢k—so as to expand the chest he tells you— he strides along three or four miles of gravelled walk every day, “weather permitting,” before eight o'clock, and goes back to his res- taurant to sit an hoor and a quarter over his breakfast, rising from the table with the pleasant reflection that lie is “one of the most vigorous men in town for his years.’ Then again there {s the intellectual spectacled lady of thirty, who desires to keep up the freshness of twenty-two for a few years longer. She walks slowly about with @ book and her reba od hanging carelessly from her hand and feels that she is bene- fiting herself, And again, pernans, comes @ gover- ness with her bevy of family pupils, or a nurse coy and tidy trund a perambulator with sleeping baby and two or three brothers and sisters ‘of the baby scampering about on the flanks and causing nurse no end of worriment, because they won't keep off the dewy grass. All these had thelr usnal opportunity of patropizing the Park yesterday, because the morning was simply overcast—not rainy. But the ot polot—the hundreds who turn out about noon every Sunday for a run in the Park, and who swarm up every avenue and pour into the grounds from half a dozen street railroad lines—it looked as though there was to be no enjoyment for them yes- terday, and ie were to remain at home in their crowded tenements and lose the only opportunity for relaxation which the weekly exigencies of life afford. The rain came steadily down, and while it was no doubt tending to beau- tify the grea t public garden, yet it kept the public indoors, Fr om about ten till’ after two o'clock the heavens wore their sombre livery and drop) down refreshment on the earth to revive the world of vegetable nature with its greatest charms, a’ living green and an odorous atmosphere of per- fume. It was roy three o’clock before people be- gan to stroll into the Park, and then only in small troops and detachments, notwithstanding the sun was gilding the trees with a renewed and brilliant sheen. But the trees were dropping bright globules of rain and the grass was wet, and in spite of the fact that each was beautified by these tro- plies caught from the falling showers, the result ‘was not pleasant to pedestrians, By four or five o'clock, however, the rain had to a great extent evaporated and the walks were pleasant, but there was a_ chill breath in the water atmosphere and fresh wind that di not A A comfortable in contact with the wearers of duck pants and gauze dresses, a8 1s desirable. The general conse- uence was that the patronage of the Park was lecidedly limited, ie boats rocked idly on the lake at the brown stone landing steps; the seats along the mall and terrace were either positively wet or very damp, and most of the visitors con- tented themselves with’ a tolerably brisk walk through the grounds and lett for their homes or other dryer quarters. FATAL AGOIDENT IN NEWARK. Patrick Quinn, a laborer, forty-two years of age and residing at Waverley, was found yesterday mornin, lying dead on the New Jersey Railroad, near the South Broad Street crossing in Newark. Both legs were cut off. He had been run over by a train. The body was removed to the dead house, and subse- quently to deceased's late residence. MUEDER IN SYRAOUSE, SyRacusg, N. Y., August 4, 1872.
