But that a widespread system for the demoralization of women such as the English barmaid evil can ever appear among us We are happy not to believe. Keep your eye at home, John, for the present. Dramatic Art in New York—Its Progress and the Promise of the Future. The dramatic season has advanced to that @oint—the breaking up of the original bills at some of the theatres—which enables us to form something like a correct judgment upon the condition and prospects of the drama in New York during the coming Winter. With the exception of Niblo's, and Fechter’s Theatre, in Fourteenth street, the playhouses are all open and all have been doing a good business. Xn another month these will also be ready for ppectacle and melodrama, and the little Globe ‘Theatre, in Broadway, is to witness about the ‘pame time the appearance of Miss Bateman in some of her favorite characters. By the mid- dle of November there will be a complete ehange of programme everywhere. Opéra Dougfe, which is now presented with so little force at the Olympic, being deficient in me- chanical as well as artistic effects, weak in .chorus and feeble in ensemble, will have flitted pay to Philadelphia. King Carrot’s reign at the Grand Opera will be ended; Mr. Bouci- cault’s Kerry and Mrs. Boucicault’s Jessie Brown will have been succeeded by Mr. Some- body’s Romeo and Miss Neilson’s Juliet. The revival of old English comedy at ‘€hé Fifth Avenue Theatre will have ripened, ‘as we trust, into the mellower glories of Shakspeare’s ‘Merry Wives of Windsor.” French and English art, as we haye it in “Agnes”’ at the Union Square Theatre, : “Pygmalion and Galatea,’ ~will also have vanished like the dissolving ‘statue in the beautiful comedy at the latter Mheatre. All these changes suggest some ideas both as to the past and the future of the drama in this city, for the expression of which there can be no more fitting opportunity than the present. One of the great wants of the American stage has been American plays by American playwrights. Hitherto this has been regarded ‘as impracticable; but the success of ‘Sara- tcga’’ and ‘Diamonds’ has shown that Amer- ‘ican comedy is not impossible. We are not disposed either to overpraise or to undervalue Mr. Howard's abilities as a dramatist. His. tplays are not great plays, but they are cer- tainly very creditable. ‘‘Diamonds’’ is crade, ‘but so is the society it portrays, and while it falls far short of what is desirable in play- pictures of American manners it is by no means so false in sentiment or exaggerated in ideal as many persons would have us believe. It is an unfinished play, the disentangle- ment of the plot at its close creating tthe impression that everything is explained ‘nnd everybody reconciled in a hurry, that the people in the orchestra chairs and the galleries may go home; but its unfinished character is not so striking as to condemn. Nor does it «end alone inthis respect. Nearly everything distinctively American is also unfinished. Broadway is an unfinished street. New York ds an unfinished city. Our society partakes of the newness of everything around us. Our literature is lacking in perfection of thought and elegance of diction. We get our music and our plays, our musicians and our actors, from abroad, and we are apt to criticise by a severe rule the things which are born of our own country and to take the fortign article on trust. We have never had an American dramatist, therefore we cannot have one. Because ‘Diamonds’ is not a great play its ‘crudity and want of force are in many quarters lheld sufficient to condemn it, and itis sneered ‘at by people who regard Whittier asa poet and Emerson as a philosopher. This play holds the same relation to the drama that Whittier holds to poetry or Emerson to phi- losophy. Though the dramatist, the poet and the philosopher are alike deficient in great powers, each of them is well enough in his ‘way and gives promise of something better in ithe fature. These views indicate something like prog- :rees for the present season—growth in play- making as well asin play-acting. But ‘Dia- ‘monds’’ is a play which the dramatist made for the actors, and in this respect it is in smarked contrast with Mr. Boucicault’s “Kerry,” where the actor makes the play. The former aims at making good parts for - everybody, while the latter is the concentra- tion of the one character idea. Under these -systems a play must be cast with all stars or with only one, and in the latter case the lead- ing actér might as well be supported by auto- mata as the living people with whom he plays. Both theories are equally objectionable, and the one theory begets the other. What we need are plays not written for the players, but for their artistic effects, and actors not caring 0 much for the part which the dramatist set down as for the characters they can create. It is a greater honor to be a great actor in a -smail part than a small actor in a great part. ‘One of the surprises of the present season. is excellence in little things ina number of in- stances. We see it in Mr. Barry’s Cassidy, and the public have not failed to place an -insignificant Part: very near Agnes Rob- ertaon’s Jessie ‘Brown. Mr. Mackey has made a genuine place for himself as the Prefect’ of Police in Sardou’s “‘Agnes;"’ and though he appears in only one scene he is as effective as if he acted through the whole play. Mr. Mead makes the insignificant soldier shine above the spectacle in “Roi Car- otte.”’ All this is encouraging, anda gen- erous recognition of merit wherever it is found will build up for us great actors in the future. We are all the more disposed to recognize it, 16 our actors are too apt to refuse parts as un- at Wallack’s, | NEW YURK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTUBHK 27, 1872.-QUADRUPLE SHEET. which they are unworthy. The present season managers a8 well as actors who do small things well and able to unite both, as we have seen in the production of ‘Don Giovanni” at the Academy and ‘‘Genovidve de Brabant” at the Olympic. In Italian opera we have only three great artists—Lucca, Kellogg and Jamet; in opéra boujfe only two of average merit— Aimée and Gabel—the last named making a great deal of the small part of the gendarme in “Genevidve de Brabant.” As a matter of history, the readers of the Hzraxp all know that opéra boujfe was made a recognized part of the popular entertainments in this city by Bateman and Grau, and they presented it so well that inferior work cannot prove accept- able, The present company falls short of the requisite excellence, and would do better if it were less ambitious in its undertakings. ‘La Grand Duchesse’ went well enough, but “Genevidve de Brabant’’ was the straw which broke the camel’s back. Thus it must be al- ways where the attempt to achieve is beyond the power of achievement. These things we conceive to be the lesson of the present dra- matic season; and in the shortcomings, as well as in the successes of the past, is the promise of the future. The Horse Disease and the Transit Problem. The great inconvenience that has resulted from the temporary disabling of a large num- ber of horses in the city has had the effect of recalling public attention to the question of rapid transit. So long as there was a means at hand of overcoming the difficulty of trans- portation a desire was evinced to shirk the re- sponsibility of dealing with a quegtion which every one was agreed demanded solution. But with the sudden advent of the epizooty the necessity of rendering, ourselves independent 6 horse flesh has made itself pretty generally felt. Under the most favorable circumstances the horse railroads do not furnish the pleas- antest or most desirable mode of con- veyance. But, with nearly one-half their available horses unfit for service, the inability of the lines to mect the demands upon them yesterday rendered travelling al@ost unendurable. Every car was closely packed with human beings to whom some form of transportation is an absolute neces- sity. And so severely tested were the tensile properties of the street car that the supersti- tion, which was becoming respectable from age, that they could always accommodate one more, was completely exploded. No amount of conductorial ingenuity could have squeezed one more unfortunate, though no bigger than Tom Thumb, into any of the cars which took the business men to their homes at the Harlem end of the island. In this crush the ladies were the principal sufferers. It was absolutely pitiful to see the groups of helpless women gathered at the street corners in the hope that some of the cars would have a little space; but car after car rolled by, packed tight as a herring barrel with able-bodied humanity, until, losing patience and hope, the ladies in many instances were obliged to make their way home afoot through the slushy streets. No such sight could have been possible in any other important city in the world. In order to increase the horrors of the situ- ation that virtuous body known as the hack- men raised their prices to such an outrageous extent that a carriage became a veritable lux- ury in which only the rich could afford to indulge. We have before called attention to the want of such regulations as would convert the hack system from being a nuisance into a real convenience to the citizens. To do this it is only necessary that we should follow ex- isting examples, such as we have in London and Paris. “The rapidly-increasing extent of the city and the necessity for a cheap and rapid means of conveyance must eventually lead to the establishment of some system which will secure to the citizens the same facilities of conveyance, at fixed and moderate rates, that are enjoyed in the Europea:. cities. This is a matter which affects deeply the busi- ness and convenience of the citizens, and ought to occupy the attention of our next Mayor. It will be well if the fanctionary and his alder- manic assistants in the government of the city can be persuaded to abstain from mixing up in the political squabbles of contending par- ties, and be induced to devote themselves to forwarding the interest of the city. This is what, the mass of the citizéns expect from them; and among the reforms which we look for next year this close attention to the affairs of the city by the municipal authorities is not the least desirable or important. No satisfactory solution of the rapid transit question will be effected until we have com- muication by the steam cars from the Battery to Harlem, both on the west and east sides of the island. In combination with these a line passing through the blocks, such as we sug- gested last year, and having stations at Union square and at the Central Harlem depot, would complete a system of communications which would confer infinite benefit on the population and contribute in a degree scarcely dreamed of to the prosperity of the city. There is no occasion to wait until private comes forward to do for the public what the public ought todo for themselves, Rapid and cheap transit is of as much import- ance to the inhabitants of New York as lighting the streets, building piers, or any other branch of the public service. If the city may con- atract a boulevard for the convenience and benefit of the citizens, there can be no logical reason why the city should not build such lines of railroad to facilitate communications as may be necessary for public convenience, Under a properly organized commission such an undertaking can be carried out as economi- cally by the public as it could be by a private corporation, and with this advantage. In the former case the people would have to pay for the railroads, and would not | , 7 only have the advantage of travelling on them Rapid at the lowest possible paying rates, but they would own them. In the latter case they would not own them, but would eventually have to pay for them all the same, besides paying high dividends to the shareholders, As the success of such railroads is beyond question, and it is certain that their value could not fail to increase enormously within a few years, it is false economy on the part of the municipal authorities to delay beginning ® work so important to the future of the city. It is this consideration which renders the election of an enterprising and progressive man to the office of Mayor so essential, for in his hands will lie, in great part, the power of advancing or retarding works of great public utility. Some progress has been made on the west side by the establishment of the elevated railway, which has now been in suc- cessful operation for more than eighteen months. Unfortunately, the appearance of the elevated line is not very in- viting, and people in this age are very strongly influenced by appearances. Ner- vous people are accustomed to look on the elevated railway car as a sort of automatic Blondin, and decline to make the tight-rope experiment. But experience shows that after all this’ is only a prejudice. The tracks laid on those skeleton supports in practice serve as well as those laid on the ground. Certainly they are not more dangerous than those laid across the Harlem Bridge, which people cross with so much confidence because they are used to it. Yet should the cars run off the track at this point the result would be just as unpleasant to the passengers as it would be if dumped from the elevated track. In either case the ofly guarantee the public have is in the care exercised by the employés, and the danger in one case seems not to be a whit less than in the other. This fact is beginning to be recognized, as well as the advantages of the line, and the result is seen in the increased patronage of the line by the public. Indeed, so marked is the revulsion of the public sentiment that we believe the company intend extending the line as far as Fort Washington. Vanderbilt also is pushing forward his under- ground scheme; but, unless he adopts low rates, the people will not be able to derive any very great advantage from his projected line. It will, however, be a great step in advance, and all hope the work will be pushed on vigorously to completion. If we are to main- tain the rate of progress which within the past twenty years has made our city the metropolis of the Continent, we must supply the pressing need of communications that alone will enable our population to spread out freely. The authorities ought to assume the initiative to supply this great public need; and if their scheme be only broad and comprehensive enough they may depend upon receiving generous and efficient support from the citizens. The Steam Yacht Eothen. Visits from English yachtsmen to this coun- try are not, we believe, destined to be rara, despite the regrettable tinpleasantness tagged on to our recollections of a late visitant who came to race for the Queen’s Cup. We have at present in the port of New York as fine and trim a steam yacht, the Eothen, as was ever built for private pleasure. It is second in dimensions only to the Duke of Hamilton's vessel, and fs.owned by a genial Englishman, Mr. Robert Brassey, son of the great Eng- lish railroad contrétwr. We welcome this gentleman and his pretty craft to our waters, and hope, that both will give a stimulus to the branch of yachting in which Mr. Brassey takes so much just pride, Our steam yachts on this side are not yet on a par with our sailing yschts; but by and by we shall, no doubt, produce models of beauty, capacity and speed equal to any that can be produced in the world. The Eothen made the transatlantic voyage in fifteen days, touching the Continent at St. Johns, and then steaming up the river St. Lawrence, afterwards visiting Halifax, and then quietly dropping down to Newport and Bristol before coming here. He will run up the Hudson, to admire its beau- ties, as far as Albany, and will take a trip to the Delaware, and, perhaps, further South. We hope that his stay among us will éontinue to be as pleasant for himself as it can be. The Gale—Its Auroral Precursor. The violent storm and flood which has swept over our seacoast States, from Florida to New England, appears to have been part of an immense cyclonic disturbance. The weather reports show that it involved in its folds, simultaneously, the Atlantic seaboard as far west as the Alleghanies and the region of the Lower Lakes. The floods of driving rain which it has brought, judging by the bulletins of the Signal Service, threaten to swell all our rivers that flow into the Atlantic and its estuaries, as also to fill up the dry and sluggish volume of the Ohio River, which has been all the Fall scarcely knee-deep. The rainfall is reported as over four inches at Norfolk, and at least half as much along the whole coast. The recent auroras, which were chronicled by the press, may have an interesting and discoverable connection with this first of Autumnal gales from the tropical seas lying southeast of the United States. Scientists have always conjectured such a connection, and it would appear that the present storm will afford an excellent opportunity for an exhaustive investigation of the subject. The reports of marine disasters that come in to us are already noticeable, as will be seen by the Hznatp shipping columns. Fortunately for our ocean steamers that left New York yesterday, the storm-centre of this cyclone is reported south of us, and they will, therefore, probably outrun its agitation. It may be well, however, for the shipping about to leave to be on the lookout, and follow, strictly, the warning signals ordered by the Signal Bureau, which, in this instance, have anticipated the danger by over thirty-six hours and thoroughly forewarned all our sea- porta, It has not unfrequently occurred that vessels following these rotatory storms too fast become entangled in their meshes and are crippled in mid-ocean.

Closer Investigation Into Teller’s Affairs at the Virginia State Bank—The Defalcation Proba- bly Over $40,000—The Self-Styled Sui- cide Not Yet Discovered—Detectives RicamonD, Va., Oct. 26, 1872. The excitement in financial circles regarding the heavy defalcation in the Virginia State Bank, the details of which were telegraphed to the HERALD yesterday, has not yet subsided. The bank officers say that if the checks paid by the absconding teller prove good and are redeemed by the parties to whom the amounts on their faces were paid, its losses will not exceed ten thousand dollars. If, however, these checks are not paid, the defalcation may amount to forty or perhaps fifty thousand dollars. The sup- Position is that most of them will be paid, as the parties who drew the money upon them are, in a majority of instances, substantial business men, andthe remaining amount of the defalcation is secured by the surettes of the delinquent officer. A PANIC AVERTED, , The refusal of the bank to pay its certified checks occastoned some uneasiness among business men to-day, and a run was again threatened. This caused the directors to reconsider their action, and upon ascertaining that the checks presented were valid they were promptly paid, and a panic averted. The heavy estimated loss of the bank by outsiders is strengthened by the fact that to-day A REWARD OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for the arrest of William R, Teller was offered by the President, and descriptive circulars were matled in every direction. In the meantime nothing definite has been heard of the eee bauk teller. At one time to-day he was reporte to be still in this cit Y, at another that he was seen eating breakfast at Weldon, N. C., yesterday morn- ing, and in that te ‘had’ certainly com- itted —auicic as he stated it was his intention to do, rin his published letter yesterday. All the detective officers in the country are on the lookout for him, and several from this city have gone In hot pursuit of him. Those who were inti- Mately acquainted with him are of opinion that he has accomplished his self-destruction. Others, the majority, think entirely the contrary.
