Indeed, it might create @ suspicion that somehow the water was ‘Viable to get mixed. As the case at present stands it is a pretty quarrel, which promises to complicate seriously the local politics of the ‘Garden City. The temperance men assert that they will not cast a vote for any man sus- pected of growing only one hop, while the ‘German clement declare war on pumps, and will not have any man if office who ‘is not able to dispose of a reasonable “quantity of lager. Placed between these angry factions the authorities, who naturally are in- rterested in the votes, are at their wits’ end to compromise the matter; but the rivals have jtaken for their motto “No Surrender,’’ and ywill fight the battle out to the bitter end. An effort will be made even to return a temper- vance Legislature. If this should be accom- plished we do not see how lawmaking is to go on. It is even now rather dry work, but with- yout lager would become an intolerable bore, ‘The Liquor law in our city lends a certain air -of respectability and demureness to the streets on Sunday, but beyond appearances it does not help much the cause of sobriety, as the police are astonishingly blind to the opera- ‘tions of the whiskey sellers.

We cannot, then, see what good this organized dypocrisy is likely to effect. If the gin-mills “are to be closed, but at liberty to trade, why, ‘say so; but it is absurd to be passing laws for the sake of effect when there is no intention to enforce thom. » Tae Gxnman Vorz.—The result of the elections in this city on Tuesday shows that ‘the German vote at least is secure from the ‘Dlandishments of mere politicians. German ‘democrats voted for Lawrence and German -republicans for Havemeyer, -and the fact that ‘O'Brien was a candidate for Mayor was com- ‘pletely ignored by this part of our population. ‘There were wild stories about O'Brien's in- fluence with the Germans, but his defeat is only another proof that personal influence igoes for little on election day, and that the ‘German vote especially is cast from conscien- jtious motives. The Germans appear to havo thoroughly canvassed the condition of our 4ocal affairs among themselves and then to thave recorded their conclusions at the polls, ITALIAN OPERA, Miss Kellogg’s Appearance Annetta in “Crispino e la Comare.” Twenty-one years ago Luigi and Frederico *Ricel, two talented Tuscan brothers, par nobie Jra- ‘trum, brought out a comic opera at Florence, hich wen at once the volatile fancies.of the pudience. The transformed cobbler and the kind fairy have ever since been welcomed on every «Btage where Italian opera has been presented. The dairy, to be sure, plays a very small part, lyrically, ln the comic scenes of this delightful work, but her Anfluence is, nevertheless, very potent in ‘the unravelling of the thread of the story. Crispino. is, of course, the most salient feature of the opera, although, at times, he has ‘to yteld the place of honor to his wife. The work whas long ago become popular here through the ex- ertions of the two artists, Miss Kellogg and Ron- cont, who appeared last night in their well-known vOles, When the work was first placed on the stage in Italy Rovere was the Crispino and Ciampi, ‘if we mistake not, the Fabrizio. The cast last even- 4ag consisted of the following :—Annetta, Miss Kel- Aogg; the Fairy, Mme. Schofiela; Crispino, Roncont; Fabrizio, Signor Reina; Miralbolano, Signor Spara- ani; Count del Fiore, Mr. Grat; Don Asdrubal, ‘Signor Locatelli. The introductory chorus is ‘Tather insipid, and only served to give ‘Mr. Graf a little time to prepare himself for the first tenor aria, “Bella siccome un angelo.”” (Why not “‘Pura?”’) This gentleman made his début on the ‘occasion. He isa pupil of signor Tamaro, of this city. His voice is possessed of considerable natural power and sweetness, and his school is good. ‘There are stilisome rough points anda certain ‘stiffess which can easily be removed by study and experience, and his lack of histrionic ability and @pparent nervousness will yield to the same potent instructors. Then came in Miss Kellogg as the un- successful ballad vendor, and she sang the pretty little waltz song, “Ho qui di caldi palpiti legende,”” with a brilliancy that in our days would in- sure a speedy sale for Annetta’s ballads. Ronconi sang his cobbler’s song in his own inim- “itably comic style and with more regard to_keep- ing in tune than he is wont to have. Then Reina, an ola acquaintance, who seems to have gaine additional metallic (old metal) qualities in his voice, which already gave the impression of a ‘eracked trombone, came forward and sang with 5 See humor the fine aria, “Io sono un Pot filosoto.”” ¥ortunately Mr. Maretzek compelled him to be very ‘brief in his remarks. The scene at the well be- tween Crispino and the Fairy, in which the latter -dissuades the despairing cobbler from Sid aa | de 8, and- which is graced _ witl ‘very beautiful instruraentation, brought on the first duet between Annetta and ino, a brilliant, poe number in the opera. Here the pure, ‘flexible voice of Miss Kellogg found a congenial field of music, and, united with the acting of Ronconi, made the jinale of the first act a genuine “ The Vatat donna in the second act won her way ‘to applause by the abandon and élan which she destowed in the “Io non sono piu l’Annetta vendi storie.” The sparkling chorus, “Oh che pazzo, che “buffone,” the laugh ot derision with which Cris- <pino's neighbors salute his changed fortunes was ‘very well delivered, as were nearly all the choral titbits of the merry opera. In the successful ackery adminstered to his first patient, rtolo, Ronconi’s acting would be a feature even on the stage of Wallack’s. His comic jowers had here @ splendid opportunity of which ie promptly availed himself. The gem of the en- ‘tire opera, the celebrated sestetto, was given with rare effect. The stretto which follows is very bril- ‘iant, but entirely de trop. The curtain should fall -on the sestetto. In the third act the scene between Crispino and his envious rivals is perhaps the most vadmirable specimen of comic writing on the part of amodern operatic composer that can be found. An Italy it is the scene of the opera, Ronconi, like ‘Revere, always makes the most of it, although at the present thine it is rather too much of a strain on his powers. Sparapani here bestirred himself for the first time to advantage, but poor Reina ‘was as grimly unconvivial as ever. Then occurred a skip of flity pages in the scene (the brothers Ricci, clever as undoubtedly they are this opera, are unfortunately too prolific of ideas, and they have spun out the work beyond desirable limits). In tne “Canzonetta della Frittola” Miss Keilogg -gained the principal honors that fell to her share faring the creer It is a dashing subject, to be je most ssh Ao sit sae = -prima donna did it full justice. Here the lyric in- erest of the opera ceased. Mr. Maretzek should take an carly opportunity of repeating this opera, since it received such @ smooth repre- gentation, and since its sparkling music and comic scenes must on all occasions prove jource of attraction. When it brought applause dast night, when there was but the ghost of an au- dience present; when the drizzling rain outside made every oper er misanthropic and misera- ble, and when the public mind had not recovered from the reaction consequent on the close of @ bit- ter Presidential campaign, what effect must it have wander brighter circumstances? It was quite an act »of heroism to stir out-doors last night, and conse- quently the charm of the representation was lost on the greater number of the subscribers.

She Will Be Satisfied with an kupartial Ac- count of the Insurrcetion, How Henderson’s “Detention” Was Brought About. COMPLETENESS OF THE SPY SYSTEM. Havana, Nov. 1, 1872. The press and people of Havana are very much exercised over the mission of A. Boyd Henderson to this island. The Diario de la Marina, commenting upon the editorials of the Henatp, occasioned by the arrest of its cor- respondent, endeavors to make the matter appear as THE RESULT OF A DEEPLY LAID PLAN to make a journalistic sensation in favor of the Cubans; and, in reply to the Hzrat's assertion that Mr. Henderson’s mission was one which deeply interested the American people, and that the government and people of the United States would hold Spain re- sponsible for his life and liberty, spitefully declares that it cannot see what legitimate interest the American people can have in investigating the situation of the in- surgents, and even if they had, they have no business to meddle in the inte- rior affairs of Cuba. On the contrary, Ouba feelsa greater and more legitimate interest in the desire that some of the neutrality laws of the United States were more equitable and just, and, above all, that they were more strictly carried out, but limits herself to the diplomatic or. consular questions which are strictly within the bounds of international law. Also in relation to the allusion which the Henatp makes, that a war may yet be neces- sary to teach Spain to respect other nations, and that a war with the United States would be the total loss of its possessions in the An- tilles, the Diario says, with the usual PUEF OF CASTILIAN PRIDE (y nunca desmentida hidalguia), that it will not argue that such a war would not lose to Spain its two prized Antilles, as the United States are so near at hand, and Spain four thousand miles off—but bombastically asks, ‘Has the Henatp calculated the holocausts of human bones which would cover the soil of Cuba and Porto Rico, and the bodies which would be food for the fishes of the Caribbean Sea before the banner of Spain should be lowered in either |» Antille? Has it calculated the millions to be spent by the United States and the probable duration of the war?’’ Here, asa warning, the Diario says, the war carried on by the Spaniards against the Moors who triumphed at Guadalete lasted for eight hundred years, and if Spain should lose her ultramarine possessions in a contest with the American Union, the con- tinuation of SUCH A WAR WOULD BE A LEGACY to be transmitted from father to son, and would be converted into so lasting and heavy @ burden that the American people would for- ever curse those who should commit the crime of initiating it. The Diario concludes its article by expressing its surprise that the Henatp, after having threatened the wrath of the American nation and made a semi-declara- tion of war against Spain, communicating its nervousness on the subject to all its readers, should have changed its tune and thanked the authorities of Cuba for the kindness and COURTESY SHOWN TO ITS ENVOY. “This,” it continues, ‘may be considered in the light of reparation of a fault, but the authorities are swayed by no other motive but that of a desire that truth should be made known. The authorities and press of Cuba have repeatedly declared the rebellion to have no seat, no government, no army, no towns, and as all this is exactly true, a foreigner is granted permission to see with his own eyes that the Cuban authorities and press have been all along declaring the truth, and trusts that Mr. Henderson will report to the Hrraxp ex- actly what he sees.”’ THE SPANISH POLICE SYSTEM. The Diario also states that it knew of the arrival of the Hzratp envoy ; that it knew that the police had been advised that Henderson would attempt to communicate with the insur- gents, and that for this reason he was detained, but treated with all possible consideration; that the Captain General had been informed by the Spanish Minister at Washington of the special character the Henatp gave to its commis- sioner, and convinced that, ‘THE SPANISH NATION WOULD GAIN MUCH if the truth of the stato of the insurrection was known in all parts of the world, the authorities did not only give Mr. Henderson his immediate liberty, but authorized him to proceed wherever he thought it convenient, furnishing him recommendations to the supe- rior authorities of the Oriental and Central Departments, and leaving him the most ample facilities to write his impressions.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Lonpon, Nov. 6, 1872. The result of tho Presidential election in America is published in London this morning, and com- mented on editorially by the city press, The London Telegraph believes “Grant deserved @ re-election, and the fact that he has been again chosen disproves the assertion that republics are ungrateful." The Standard makes a violent attack upon the republican party, “which,” it says, “has done nationally what Tammany and Fisk did locally, Grant and Greeley are both unfit for the position of President of the United States, but, of two evils, we believe the people have made the best choice.” The Daily Telegraph, referring to the re-election of General Grant, says:—‘‘No one deserved better of his country or 1s worthier of @ place among the illustrious men who have twice held the Presiden- tialoMce, England has had cause to complain of many things, but President Grant's policy toward her has never been wilfully petulant or hostile.” The 7elegraph hopes that the United States will now take care of Mexico and Cuba; it believes thatthe West, not the East, demands their atten- tion. The Standard upholds the principles on which the Southern States seceded from the Union as opposed to republicanism, which it denounces as “the deification of the passions of a tempo- rary majority and as identified with personal and political corruption. In consequence of the supremacy of the republican party the States are loaded with enormous debts; the foreign holders of their securities receive nothing. The republicans are responsible also for insurrection in Cuba, anarchy in Mexico and the murder of the Emperor Maximilian, The democrats, however, are no bet- ter.” BELGIUM.

The President to-day received calls of congratu- lation in addition to numerous telegrams of greet- ing and also announcing results, He expressed thanks to his guests for those manifestations of friendship, and, apart from the political issues in- volved, was gratified that the people had vindicated his private character, which had been assailed dur- ing the canvass, The Secretary of State, to relieve the anxiety of those who fear he may remain in the Cabinet dur- ing the second term of President Grant's adminis- tration, authorizes the announcement that he will positively retire from public life on the 4th of next March. He nas rented his present residence until that date, and will make the Congressional season unusually gay. In reply to the interrogatory whether he would accept the mission to the Court of St. James, he replied that the recent tri- umph of American diplomacy respecting the Ala- bama claims would forbid him from accepting any diplomatic position where he would be brought necessarily in contact with gentlemen who had on national grounds opposed the Geneva award. There is no immediate probability of a change of the Attorney General, if his own desire is a guide.

The Body of a Man, Cut to Picces, Found Afloat in Two Barrels—Vietim and Mur- derer Unknown, Boston, Mass.» Nov. 6, 1873, A most mysterious and terribie tragedy has been developed in this city this afternoon, the circum- stances of which are unparalleled among the mul- tiplicity of revolting and strange crimes wivich have taken place in this vicinity recently. The wictim, the assassin and the motive are allunknow®. Up, to this time, and in the absence of such facts,.the event nas caused considerable excitement. It seems that between three and four o’clock this after- noon some of the workmen employedin the gas house at the foot of Cambridge street discovered! & large barrel had floated ashore along the banks, of the Charles River. Thinking perhaps it con- tained something valuable in liquidsor contra- band, they pulled it in and unpacked it, when they were horrified and astonished at the discovery of two human legs and a human head, the latter being bald-headed and tndicating that the victim was about fifty years old. Fresh blood was drip- ping from the remnants of the body, and every- thing seemed to indicate that death and butchery had taken place withim a very few hours. While the workmen were engaged in removing and caring for the repulsive and sickening mass which they had found, a see- ond barrel was seen in the stream, and upon being. brought ashore and opened it was found te contain; the rest of the body—the portion between the neck and knees. The indications were tnat decapitation and amputation were performed with a sharp knife, for when the remains were placed together in proper position they fitted su perfectly and nicely that the points of separation could only be discovered by the traces and oozing of the btood. None of the clothing was missing except the hat, and, aside from a small flesh wound on the face, there was nothing to indi- cate that there had been ao struggle. Around the body there was a large rope whieh lad been firmly tied, and upon the back, between the outside and under shirt was a gold watch and chain, which apparently had been secreted there by either the murdered man or his murderer, Aside from these articles nothing else was found, The clothing which he wore was of the best quality, and every- thing seemed to indicate that the man was one in good circumstances. The body was taken charge of by a Corover and an investigation will be: the close of the present term, thus necessitating new commissions to those serving as Cabinet offi- cers after the 4th of March next, It is too early to anticipate the Preskient’s action in the future concerning reforms and measures of administration, further than his intimation to-day that he will endeavor to shape his official conduct 80 as to meet the expectations of the country, and to unite the people in stronger bonds of peace, while by all means in his power promoting their welfare at home and abroad. The Capital Press and the Election. The National Republican and Daily Chronicle, administration journals, are jubilant over the re- Sult of the Presidential election. The Patriot, democratic, says, “The result excites no surprise, for it has been foreshadowed ever since Pennsylvania was carried by fraud and treachery in October. We accept the inevitable with a sense of deep despondency for the future, which is not enlivened by any hope of a change for the better. The liberal movement is temporarily checked, but not de- feated. Its ultimate triumph is certain, and there are thousands who conspired against it that will live to deplore their mistaken opposition and join hands hereafter in a patriotic effort to redeem this error and to elect a reform candidate in 1876. The Great principles and ideas which underlie this cause can be no more suppressed than the order of the seasons can be arrested. In the language of the Kentucky hunter, ‘Let us pick our flints and try. it again.” Congressmen Elect and Claims Prosecu- tons. The question has been raised by the War De- partment whether Congressmen elect can prose- cute claims of any kind against the government when a fee is to be received and money is involved. Under the act of June 11, 1864 the Attorney Gene- ral decides that Congressmen elect are debarred from prosecuting claims against the government without regard to the fact that they may not have been sworn in. Indiana and Oregon for Grant. The President to-day received a despatch from Senator Morton stating that Indiana gives a repub- lican majority of from 20,000 to 23,000, He also re- ceived a despatch stating that Oregon gives about 2,000 republican majority. The New System of Army Inspection. The Inspectors General of the Army, who have been some time in consultation at the War Depart- ment in reference to the best method of super- vising the Army, under the late order attaching them all to the staffof the commanding general, have ended their deliberations. General Schriver, formerly in charge of the Military Academy, gocs to Texas to inspect the whole department. Gen- eral Hardie, late Inspector for General Sheridan, goes to New Orleans to inspect all the military es- tablishments in the Gulf States, and General Sacket, detached from the staf of General Meade, at Philadelphia, takes the posts and depots in the other Southern States. These Inspectors are to consult with the chiefs of bureaus here and the military commanders where they oper- ate, General Sherman not wishing to ig- nore any subordinate branches of Army administration in pursuing his inquiry into the means of reducing the annual cost, while developing the efficiency of the mili- tary establishment. On return from the present tours of investigation the Inspectors General will ve sent into other fields, the whole army being thus continuously brought under the observation of the commanding general, Colonel Davis, already in the far West, will complete the survey of the whole Department of the Missouri before coming east, and General Marcy, senior Inspector General, remains at Wash- ington in general charge of the inspection service. General Howard and the Peace Policy. General Howard, who has been to Arizona to induce Cochise and his followers to go on a reserva- tion, returned to-day and reports to the Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs that the peace policy is a success, provided the Indians do not violate their promises. The Epizootic. Owing to the heavy rain to-day very few horses were on the streets, and these were heavily wrapped to guard them against the influence of the weather. There were no hacks on the streets and none to be found in the livery stables. The horse disease is now at Its height. A sound animal can scarcely be found anywhere. The Indian Bounty Frauds. Judge Wright, charged with Indian bounty. frauds, will makea third attempt to vacate the order made by the District Court here appointing three examiners in the Indtan Territory with authority to take testimony separately.” The neces- sity for three examinations at the same time in be- half of the government arises from the fact that individual Indians must be examined to disprove the general testimony offered in defence that the amounts claimed to have been embezzled by the de- fendant were properly disposed of.
