The old Tammany vikings, that heretofore led the democratic fleet to victory and to plunder, have gone to that metaphorical Davy Jones’ locker—that bourne from which no defunct tars or politicians ever return, leaving their erst time adherents and followers all at sea without rudder or compass or magnet to guide them. There §# more than the usual amount of stray cruisers gbout, however, fishing in the political waters, ready to hook on toany flotsam and jetsam that may be found floating around from the wreck of old party organizations, and equally prepared to follow in the wake of any movement that promises booty in the campaign. During the last week little or Dothing was done towards restoring order out of the ¢haos into which things political have fallen, nad no Moses has as yet appeared to puite the scattered tribes. The Mayoral solution is the Mount Pisgah from which a clear view can be ‘pened to the successful termination of the cam- mn; but as yet our present party leaders have ot reached that important point. Caucuses and consultations between the new organizers have been the order of the week, without, however, any Batisfactory result having been arrived at; and THE MAYORALTY QUESTION, the most important, and in fact the all-absorbing one in this city, and the one of most interest to the vitizens, is as involved and complicated as it was a month ago, But it is confidently expected that in ® very few days more the diiliculty will be removed, and the little ‘‘unpleasantness’’ which has prevailed all this time in the Tammany and liberal republican camp, through the ambition of a few aspirants after the first place on the county ticket, smoothed Bway. The brief campaign will then be fairly entered upon, SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE, with certain success for the people's ticket ; that ticket which to all non-partisan and un- prejudiced minds will present the best men for ‘Mice. Ifthe Tammany democracy and liberal republicans from the “nettle danger,” which so long threatened to nip all promise of concert between themin the very bud, shall now ‘pluck the “flower safety,” their hitherto dilatory nd embarrassing action may well be overlooked and the standard bearer they present to the people be triumphantly sustained in the comingfight. We have tume and again enumerated all the candidates that were in the fleld for Mayor, but asone only car | 2 successfully sustained as against the chal- .uger who was the first to throw down the gaunt- let to all opponents, it were useless to go again over the list. Aday ortwo more andg champion candidate will be chosen and the people have an op- portunity of judging on which side they will array themselves according to their own best interests £ -ecared In an honest, pure and efficient city government, But while inaction (masterly or not rer u. tobe seen) has been the order of the day, Or 1: nex of the past week, among the sachems of Tammany and their allies of the hberal republican stripe and their friends of the new national demo- eratic party, THE O'BRIENITES have been bestirring themselves with increased geal. It is pretty evident to the leader himself that ll this ‘addition, division and silence” on the part of the league bodes him no good, This very delay in bringing forward a candidate bas surrounded the question with more than ordinary interest and has planted its conviction in the minds of the voters that they are, and that they must prove themselves, the real reformers of municipal abuses, In cad cases the early cocupetee of the poli- tical field by a popular candidate, like the occupa- tion of a holding, which is “nine points of the law,” ves such a candidate all the chances of success, jut O’Brien knows it is not so in this case, He is FIGHTING SHADOWS all the time, exhausting himself and unable to secure any real advantage for the day of actual conflict. Shadows in this a or have struck more terror to the soul of “the O’Brien’ than could a dozen live candidates armed and pano- .. with the endorsement of any number of par- ies or organizations. It is certain, however, that the O’Brien stock has considerably declined ke the week, notwithstandi that in every part 0 the city O'Brien clubs and associations have held pow-wows, and that the gallant leader himself was ubiquitous, and by his presence at one and all of them, night after night, increased the enthusiasm Of his supporters. on, promises to be avery severe one. There is such a jumble of parties, however, and the watch- the heat of the tumult it will be hard for the com- batants to fight within their own ranks. Here will be a cry of “HO FOR GRANT, DIX AND O'BRIEN :’? there the cry of “To the rescue—to the rescue— on for Greeley, Kernan and somebody!” In this double conflict of party principles and party afilia- tions there will be many a random blow hit that, until alter the smoke of the battle has cleared away, may leave the result in doubt. Atter the Mayoralty comes the next question in importance, THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. Here, also, the candidates numerous, and the fight will be sharply contested. The Congressional delegation from this city may not be a democratic unit, as it has been for some time past. It Is cal- cwated by the Grant party that one, if not two dis- tricts will go republican. Ninth. The redistricting of the city by the Legis- lative ttl has changed the political aspect of the various districts, throwing democratic wards into districts where the republican vote predomi- nated, and in one instance creating an almost en- tirely new republican district. In the Fifth Congressional district Congressman Colonel William i. Roberts is a candidate for re- election. The tndefatigable Cotonel has explored the district from end to end, and has made bimeelf thoroughly conversant with the varied interests which are allied with that great commercial and mercantile centre of the metropolis, He has every prospect of success in the canvass, if the pledges Of all classes of the constituency are to be re- deemed at the polls in November next. General McMahon's appointment as a receiver of taxes leaves the fleld between Colonel Roberts and Mr, daines Olliver—no mean opponent, however. Mr. Olliver is a lawyer having hus office and residence Within the district, not incidentally for the purpose of his claim on the voters, but as a life-long resi- dent therein, He has some stanch, earnest friends supporting him, but as against his power. ee opponent he bas avery up-hill Bee OF At a, 4/¢, Sixth Congressional district, composed of the res, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and west half of y tho Tweed.

Mr. Ely, how- ey, laughs to scorn the political bowstring which his opponents think they have prepared for him, and ame they expect to present him with on election day. The rignth Congressional district, comprising the Eleventh, Thirteenth and the east half of the hteenth and Twenty-first wards, is that for ich Congressman Brooks will run. It is essen- tially @ democratic district, even beyond the gerry- mandering of a republican State Legisiature. Mr. Brooks will be supported by the railroad and steamboat intereste—a powerful influence, and which in wealthier communities than that em- braced in the Eighth district tells in favor of the favorite. Other candidates named are Julius Wadsworth, George Wilkes, William E. Dodge and Samuel G, Courtney, The latter gentleman comes mto the contest with a record for ability, ene! and honesty of purpose that will go far to outstrip all competitors in the scrub race and leave the fight virtually between Mr. Brooks and himself. in the Ninth district, composed of the Twentieth and Twenty-second wards, it is a healthy sign of the times to see Big Judge Connolly making tracks for Congress, If the national capital could be reached overland any time between this and the assembling of Congress in December next, and pebeatesaniaiy was merely the recommendation of he candidates, it is confidently asserted that the Big Judge would distance all competitors, As it is he has put his foot down and will stump the dis- trict every day between this and the 5th of Novem- ber. The constituents are making preparations on all the prominent corners for the visitation, and od times are Ganeoias John Hardy, Roswell D. latch and George W. McGlynn (inadvertently re- ferred to in a previous article as Dr. McGlynn) are in the fleld against the Big Judge. It is a serub race, and way the best man win! ‘The Tenth district embraces the Twelfth and Nine- teenth wards, Mr. Fernando Wood is up for renomt- nation, and, from all present appearances will achieve a victory, but not without a pretty severe struggle. His opponents are Charles Crary, a stanch democrat ; Hosea B. Perkins, William Howe, Jr., and Jast, but not least, Oliver Charlick. The race for the nomination will not caste the contest, as itis said that Crary or Charlick will hoid flo start to the line “th Pipning side of thé res stretch, pushing tl at Fernando all thé ‘ofl the judges’ stand. Sone wnes ha a a Yas ASSEMBLY DistRicTs. ‘When once the Mayoral candidates and those for Congress are placed in the field there will be some plain sailing—a free course from the start to the ‘oal, The Grand political battle in this city will be ver the Assembly paaanaey Independent of the fame of being a representative of this city in the Legislature of the Empire State of the Union, and its ordinary honors and emoluments, comes u fight for United States Senator. This is a rich plum, and in the division of par- democrats and re- ties—democrats edie! Greele ublicans, O’Brien Custom House half-and-half reeds—the race of representatives at the next meeting of the Assembly will be of such a political hybrid character that it will require a stronger and fuller cash box than Morgan fought Fenton with to secure Conkling’s re-election to the United States Senate in the interest of the administration. This is the political outlook that makes the struggle for the Assembly so intensely warm. Put the United States Senutorship out of the question and many ao candidate to-day would elect himself to stay at home. This view of the case does not apply to all | the candidates, nor, indeed, to any of the promi- nent candidates, who only rely upon thelr intrinsi merits and claims upon the constituencies Whose votes they solicit and whose interests in the THIGHS of the State they are worthy to rep- resent. FOR ASSEMBLYMEN AND ALDERMEN. In the First district Mr. Michael J. Kelly has vir- tually the fleld to himself—not because that in such | a thoroughly democratic district as it is there would not be numerous candidates of the old pri- mary Spelpe ce that because his candidacy deters all opposition of that character. The Boss Tweed dictatorship and corrupt régime have been over- thrown, and for the first time in many years the voters are enfranchised aud can vote for the man of their choice, Mr. Michael Madigan ts in the fleld, out in the new departure movement for re- form he has not the ghost of a chance. In the Second district the fight will be between the pew ina ee and the Brennanites, the repre- sentatives of the former heing James Dunphy for the Assembly and Thomas Coman for Alderman, The Brennanites will put forward the Earl of Sligo, Burns, for Assembly, and Patrick Lysaght for Alder- reat flerceness. James Ryan, Michael J. Shand- ey and John Galvin are candidates tor Assemb'y. Mr, W. J. McNamara, however, is far ahead, @ud will, no doubt, be sent to the Assembly. There are several candidates for Alderman and Assistant Alderman, but Mr. Thomas Shiels, for Alderman, hag the inside track over all competitors. The Fifth district is contested by ex-Senator Nor- ton and a host of others. The young Tuscarora, however, will likely carry off the prize. In the Fifteenth district the most prominent can- didate for Assembly is Major J. Keegan, of the Fifth regiment, National Guard. He has the support of all the citizens of the district, and, though strongly opposed, will, most likely, be sent to Albany to re- present the interests of that constituency. In the Sixteenth Assemby district Mr. Peter Woods is exceedingly popular, and encug opposed by Jerome Buck and John 8, Masterson, Mr. Woods, from present appearances, is the winning man. In the Eighteenth district the candidates are springing up every da; Lawrence Kiernan, Lean- der Buck and Judson Jarvis are the most prominent contestants, In each and every of the Assembly districts of the city the candidates for legislative honors are legion, and it will be well for themselves and their and the candidates announced, so that the multi- tude may resume the legitimate business of men intent upon earning an honest livelihood for them- selves and families. THE CORONERSHIP. There is also here the promise of a severely con- tested field. Mr. Richard Croker who, a couple of years ago, against the counsel of ‘his friends and numerous hens teas retired from the candidacy for the ofice them vacant in favor of the Tammany nominee, Coroner Schirmer, is again a candidate. So also is the present incumbent, almost in direct contradiction to the pledge given by him not to be ® candidate again. Ex-Coroner Flynn is also a candidate, under the O’Brien Influence, the Custom House and Grantite ditto. Mr. Gover, ex-Coroner, and Mr, Woltman, are also candidates. Mr. Croker will most likely get the Tammany nomination. In a square contest he would certainly defeat any of his opponents. He is the only man who in the Eighteenth and Twenty-first wards contests the palm of popularity with Senator O’Brien, but from a different sentiment. Mr. Croker, while bh mands the respect and esteem of the conse! | Classes in an eminent degree, has also a popularity | that even the Senator could not impair or turn | aside in an appeal to the votes of the citizens, THE SUPREME COURT. There is little toadd to what has already been reported with regard to the vacancy in the Snu- preme Court and the candidates. District Attor- ney Algernon S$. Sullivan is promipentiy in the man. In the Fourth district the fight is waged with | friends when the nominating conventions are held | K HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. PAULINE LUCCA. SKETCH OF HER ARTISTIC CAREER. A Songstress by Nature and the Fa- vorite Pupil of Meyerbeer. THE CZAR ASKS THE KAISER FOR HER, a er Triumphs in London, Berlin and St. Petersburg—Russian Enthusiasm Liberally Displayed on a Benefit Night. Pauline Lucca was born at Vienna, on the 26th of April, 1845 (the year of the unveiling of the fa- mous Beethoven statue at Bonn). The habitual residence during the most productive years of their lives of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, Vienna hasa fair right to be looked upon as the anointed queen of musical cities, Nor among its least legitimate claims to distinction in the eyes of the future art historians 1s that of its having been the birthplace of one who, all comparisons weighed, may be justly styled the greatest dramatic singer of the actual time. When scarcely four years of age Pauline Lucca was already the owner of a volce which attracted the attention of all musical hearers by its power and striking individual quality. It . he voles ark hidts child, of course? but there | was a something in it apart which, at 80 tender an ag’, seemed alike precocious and phenomenal. Then, in addition to the voice, | she, even thus early, displayed a vocal facility | which could be nothing else than a natural gift, Whatever air or piece of music was sung or played | before her she caught up with the utmost ease, and would sing the tune or execute the passages in a manner to astonish every one. On a particular occasion a pianist of some noto- riety happened to call at the house of the Luccas, and, finding no one at home, sat down to the “Streicher”? piano—the most precious ornament of the drawing room—and consoled himself by play- ing, over and over again, the beautiful air upon which Beethoven has constructed five exquisite variations, at the commencement of his famous sonata in A fat, op. 26, While he was thus en- gaged the mistress of the house came into the room, accompanied by two friends ; but the pianist, lost either inadmiration of the music or in conceit with his own ability, did not observe them, and continued his performance. Suddenly, how- | ever, he was interrupted by the accents of a voice—a voice, though youthful, full and rich in | tone—singing, precisely with the expression he had given to it, the divine and familiar melody of the greatest of composers, Surprised, and no less enchanted, the virtuoso stopped playing. But how much more he was sur- prised and enchanted when seeing THE TINY LITTLE SONGSTRESS who had mimicked him so well—“dulce subri_ dens—tripping into the room, unconscious of the sensation she had created, may readily be sur- mised, One of the friends who had accompanied the mother of Panline to the house was Herr Bieder- | mann, formerly director of the Viennese Conserva- | | tory. Hardly less astonished than the virtuoso | himself, Herr Biedermann at once turned to the | mother and said:—“Madam, you have a future treasure in that child—a great singer and musician ‘en herbe’—look after her cavefully.”” Years after the piquant incident referred to, her | other, who, with some intimate friends of the | family, had observed in Pauline the nascent genius for a ditferent art from that of music—viz., the art of painting—and foresaw in the young genius rather | @ future Rosa Bonheur than a future Malibran, was strongly moved to let this inclination have tts sway, and tie more so because the excellent mother, after her narrow but conscientious way of thinking, had @ rooted objection to “the stage.” Nevertheless, while, in obedience to this new idea, | Pauline took daily jessous in drawing, she was also | aliowed to go on with her vocal studies; and, al- | though she made wonderful progress with her pencil, she made still more wonderful progress with her singing, till, in the end, her most sincere | well-wishers were forced to the conviction that her true vocation was music. Thus, as time advanced, | Pauline was allowed to direct her chief attention | to the study of singing. A natural tendency can never be wholly extirpated, So says, and sings, the Great Augustan poe —Natura expellas furca tamen usque recurret. Her first instructions were obtained in the at | that time celebrated Ecole de Chant, directed by the well known and highly esteemed Professor Joseph Ruprecht. She entered this school at the | age of thirteen and remained there for three years. | At the age of fifteen she was placed with the cei brated Otto Umimann, to acquire the art of declama- tion in particular, aud the principles of dramatic | art generally. With Uffmann Pauline remained from eigit to twelve months, ana, aided by serious and | unremitting application enforced upon her by her | rigorously unflinching master, progressed with as- | | was, as usual, first the fair and richly endowed dramatic singer, who had onee more presented him with the veau tdéal of his beloved Valentine. As o mark of the sincere interest he felt for Pauline he thenceforth took her under his own immediate charge and became her daily moni- tor, introducing her to his family, with whom, as with himself, she soon became so great a favorite tuat she was a constant visitor and frequent inmate at the well-known house in the Pariser-Platz. In three of Meyerbeer’s grandest characters—Alice (“Robert”), Bertha, (the “Prophéte"), and Vielka (the Bear 9 of Silesia”) —Pauline Lucca gained three as splendid triumphs, and in these she had enjoyed the inestimable advantage of the composer's ear- nest and unremitting supervision, Meyerbeer, who, as all the musical world knows, whenever asked why he did not pre the “Afri- caine,” would answer:—“Ou est done mon Asri- caine ?—on est ma chére Selika ?" Now, at last, in Pauline Lucca he had happily found aselika, But how disappointed was Meyerbeer when, unable to obtain the consent of the King of Prussia (the actual Emperor of Germany) for Pauline to ‘create’ the réle of Selika, in Paris, where “L’Africaine” was first produced, in 1865, need hardly be said. Before that gorgeous work could be heard the mighty master wo has conceived it was no more. The “Africaine’—like “Robert,” the “Huguenots”’ and the “Prophete’’—had, as we all know, been in- tended for Paris from the Peqinning, and was brought out in the French capital. But Meyerbeer never heard it, either in the Frengn capital or in the capital of Prussia, where he had his home, His cherished idea was that Pauline should be Selix no matter where. That cherished idea, however, was not to be realized. Poor Marie Sass! What would Meyerbeer have said? That fat and wieldy Selika, after the dream so long and per- sistently cherished of the sweet and almost fragile Pauline! But what Meyerbeer wanted was a new Dido, who, under the Mancanilla tree, would mourn for the departure of Vasco de Gama, as the antique classical Dido of Virgil mourned, at Carthage, for the departure of Aineas, ‘That Dido was Pauline Lucca, Meyerbeer did not live to see the reatization of his dream, although the first to pay Selika in London—when (in July, 1865) an Italian version of the “Africaine’’ ajfpeared at Covent Garden Opera—was Lucca, and the first to play it in German, at Berlin, was the same Lucey prea whom the {finmortal musician had counted, 2 TY Meyérbéer had lett @ codicil in his wil that If Pauline Lucca was engaged to play Selika at the Opera House in Ber.in the “Africaine’ might be iven in Germany, and in the German language; fi not, he forbade its production, After her first brillignt season in London Gye was so delighted that he offered her a six yéars' chgagement, at enormous terms, which, for the sake and memor; other old attached friend and counsellor, Meyerbeer, and of the opera in which he had taken so deep an interest, Pauline accepted, n the sth of Novem- ber, in the same year, the “Africaine,” in Gerinan, was given in Berlin, with Lucca as Selika—a colos- I success.

At Olmtitz she remained for four months, the fixed term of her engagement; and having received, during her sojourn, offers from other parts of Germany on far more liberal | terms, both from dramatic managers for the drama, and operatic managers for the opera, she | ultimately accepted an engagement proposed by | | Herr Thomé, manager of the Deutcnes-Landers theatre, at Prague, as “prima donna assoluta at cartelo,” with @ salary of 500 florins per month, already a considerable advance upon the iMberality | | of Herr Haag. On her departure from Olmiitz, for | Prague, such was hier popularity with the inhabi- | tants of that small but famous town Pauline was honored at the railway ikon with a musical serenade and torch processioi. At Prague her successes were various and bril- Nant, Ste began there with Valentine, in the “Huguenots.” At her third representation Me} beer, who had heard so much about the young dramatic singer, came expressly from Berlin fo wit- ness lier performance, The iilustrious composer 8 unknown Valentine that, after the duet of act four, he begged the manager | to allow him to pay her his ¢iyilities, and was uc- cordingly introduced by Herr Thomé.

Profuse in thanks and compliments, he assured her that he had witnessed with rapture a portra, alter his own heart, of the most cherished great that ever came from his “pauive cérvean.” The day following Meyerbeer called upon Pauline and offered her an engagement for Berlin at a sal- ary of 1,000 thalers per month—another step con- sideravly in advance, the ditference in value be- tween Prussian thalers and Austrian florins taken into account. The liberal proposition was at once accepted, and, delighted with his newly found treasure, the composer of the “Huguenots” again | embraced our heroine and returned in high spirits to the Prussian capital. After this interview with Meyerbeer Pauline Lucca remained for a further period of eight months at Prague, playing ail the | characters in a repertory quite unprecedented for | one go young, including, as it did, many of the most trying aud dificult parts in ancient and mod- | érn oe ‘a.

Leopold, who conducted the investigation in the Sub-Treasury, New York, will be submitted to Secretary Boutwell on his return next week, It fully exonerates Mr. Hillhouse from all responsibility, and lays the blame entirely upon the system imposed by the Treasury Depart- ment. The Sub-Treasury at New York had no more right, it appears, to be made responsible for the sale of internal revenue stamps than for the transactions of a private banking house. As by the Treasury Department. It will further be shown that monthly the accounts of Johnson was carefully observed. This will exonerate Mr, Hillhouse from all blame and relieve him trom making good the deficiency. The report will recommend that after the ist of October all sub- treasuries and designated depositaries be required to transfer the saie of stamps to parties designated by the Interna) Revenue Bureau, and leave them to attend solely to the business prescribed by the act creating these branches of the United States Trea- sury. Johnson left for Cuba with only $10,000, He anticipated the discontinuance of the sale of stamps, and asked fora leave of absence of two weeks that he might have a chance to leave the country. Collection of the Revenuc—Correspond- ence of Hon. John A. Logan and the Advisory Board of the Civil Service.

A proposal—an extraordinary one-—has been made by the company to the city. It 1s about the same as if one man addressed another, | thus:—“I owe you ten millions; Jet us compromise the dispute, aad I shail pay you one million.” The | case is simply as follows. Hoboken is bounded on! the east by the Hudson River, arly all the land | along the eastern border is owned by the company. | The city of Hoboken ALWAYS HAD THE RIGHT toextend her streets to the river, but untila few years ago she never asserted that right for reasons | which her potttical rulers knew most about. | When she did assert this right her ciain waa resisted by the company. The case was brought to’ the Courts, and the Courts decided in favor of Hoboken. The conipany determined to have the dispute settled by the Supreme Court, and day after day saw thelr chances of success becoma fewer, A decision in bebalf of the rights of Hobo- ken seemen inevitable, The value of the disputed water-front may be imagined from the fact that the company recently recelved for about 450 feet, thereof the sum of $600,000, As already stated in’ the HERALD, the gain to Hoboke) ‘y the aequi mentor her riparian rights will be inealculabie, But just as the city was about to be thus benefited | the Connon Coureil ASLONISHED THE PUBLIC appointing ac » “to confer” with the This was the first move Lee, Jolin Logan, A. ‘ba Bogart were appointed mem- mittee. ‘To this committee a com- munication sent by the company offering to, consent to the Fourth and Fifth streets in case the city would demand nothing, further. fi compensation to the city for relin-| quishing hey clan to extend the other streets the! company prodered a dock worth about $19,000.
