The largest house on New Year's evening was the audience which went to see “Brother Sam” at Wallack's. Mr. Joseph H. Tooker, the business manager of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, has been transferred to the Grand Opera House in recognition of his em. clent services at the burned theatre, The performance, under Mr. Daly’s direction, which took place at the Academy of Music yester- day aiternoon and evening, in behalf of St. Ann's church, resulted in securing about $3,500 for Father 's pal The Bik Avenue Theatre company will appear at the New York Theatre, on Broadway, on the 20th inst., in “False Shame.’’ It is worthy of notice that this is the theatre in whicn Mr. Daly began his career as a manager, and nowthe fire in Twenty-fourth street arives him back to it. One of the funniest stories told of theatrical peo- ple is that of De Vivo, Aimée’s business manager, and formerly with Parepa-Rosa. Last Summer it was expected that Madame Rosa would be in New York this Winter, and when asked if he would re- main with her, he asserted himself by saying, “Without a De Vivo there can be no Parepa-Rosa.”” “La Périchole” will be sung at the Olympic Thea- tre this evening, on the occasion of Mile, Aimée’s benefit. The feature of the performance will be a matter far above mere art as it is looked upon by many persons. Aimée’s diamonds have already at- tained a very wide fame, but to-night she will ap- pear almost covered with them and stringing them together make tor herself a crown of bril- liants. This, we believe, is called crowning ‘‘the queen of opéra boufe.” An amusing incident occurred at the Grand Opera House yesterday while Mayor Hall and Re- corder Hackett were condoling with Mr. Daly for the loss of valuable manuscripts, play bills, &c., by the burning of his theatre. During the conversa- tion a young German approached the party, and, addressing Mr. Daly, said, ‘You have meta heavy loss, I pelieve.”” Mr. Daly answered the young man rather curtly, but, unabashed, he added, “I pe very sorry; but what time you give back the money for the tickets?” | FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY AT ROSLYN, An Officer Shoots a Desperado While At- tempting to Rescue a Prisoner.

McCormick was employed on the farm o!/ Mr. D. Robbins, at Roslyn, and is said to have been @ desperate character, especially when under the influence of liquor, as he on Wednesday. OM- cer Allen is spoken of in high terms of praise, and is sustained im his action by the townspeople.

Mr. Fish replied that but for his affection for the President he would have left the Cabinet long ago, but he could not re- main after March 4; his duties to his home and to his family required his presence in New York. Now that he had seen out the settlement of the Treaty of Washington his task was fulfilled, and he thought he had well earned the right to retire from public life. At the same time he suggested that Mr, Evarts would in every way make @ good Secretary of State. Seeing that nothing could change Mr. Fish’s resolve, the President had a con- versation with Mr. Evarts when the latter was last in Washington on the subject of the Secretaryship. After expressing his appreciation of Mr. Evarts’ services -in the Geneva Conference the President remarked that he knew of no one better fitted to succeed Mr. Fish. Mr. Evarts aid not decline. Since then the President has confidentially informed him that he would be appointed Secretary of State on March 4, and Mr, Evarts is how making preparations te fill his new dignity, so-as to leaye no repining alter Mr, Fish’s hospitality. Mr. Boutwell Looks to Massachusetts. Secretary Boutwell declares that he will reeign whenever Wilson announces his departure from the Senate, and there are whispers of other com- plications about the politics of the Southern States, &c., which may lead to @ general breaking up in the Cabinet. No Decrease of the Public Debt in De- comber. For the first time under this .dministration the public debt statement, issued to-day, failed to show a decrease of the debt. The explanation given is that the decrease of customs and internal revenue receipts by changes in the law has, on an average, taken away seven millions a month, while the ex- penses of the government have remained the same. Tea and coffee alone cut down the reve- nue a million and a half monthly. The ex- penses for December were very heavy, owing | to the suspension of labor, on account | of the severity of the weather, on the public buildings and works throughout the coun- try, which is almost unprecedented. The increase of $1,684,000 may be offset by returns both from customs and internal revenue, collected in De cem- ber, but not yet reported. Three Per Cents Called In. ‘The Secretary ofthe Treasury calls in $620,000 | in three per cent céftificates dated from November 22, 1868, to January 26, 1869, $5,000 each, numbered from 6,404 to 5,545, inclusive, and $10,000 each from 4,823 to 5,206. Interest will cease February 28, 1873 A Plan to Prevent Tampering with the Money Marke A movement has been inaugurated by some of | the leading bankers in Boston, New York and | Philadelphia to urge the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit in the designated depositories in those | cities a portion of the coin, and thus liberate a large amount of greenbacks now held as reserve. | Secretary Boutwell does not doubt his authority to make these deposits, as it was practically ex- ereised with the Syndicate. It is urged in behalf | of the movement that the average amount of coin locked up by the government during the years 1871 and 1872 was about seventy millions. | | ‘This amount was not required to be held for any | | purpose connected with the business convenience of the government. If the Secretary therefore | would deposit fifteen or twenty millions with the national banks which have been designated United | | \ business community would be readily afforded without expanding the currency, as it woula swell the lawful reserve of the banks toa point which would render all speculative attempts to | | tamper with the money markets utterly futile, and | | would give steadiness to the rate of interest, as it | | would add largely to the loaning capacity of the | panks, without inflating the currency. Secretary | Boutwell holds the matter under consideration. | Credit Mobilier Once More. The venerable Poland is pottering about the | vaults of the Capitol, probably anxious to screen | | the speculating representatives, whese enormous | | profits on Crédit Mobilier stock were to be regu- | lated by their own votes. Poland is said to have | | screams of the women were States depositoties, the relief asked for by the | st ment does not exist in Louisiana. If this is not done it is boldly asserted that it will require more troops than General Emory has under his com- mand to sustain the Pinchback Legislature in au- thority. It appears that the messenger bearing the elec- toral vote of Louisiana for Grant and Wilson ar- rived here two days ahead of the messenger with. the package containing the liberal republican elec- toral vote. The first man received the certificate that he was entitled to mileage, &c., amounting to over six hundred dollars. Mr. Simms, the libe- ral republican, was informed that the Secretary of State was only authorized topay one messenger from each State, and, without judging which of the packages was the right one, he had paid the bearer of the package containing tae republican vote. Gentlemen from New Orleans claiming to be fully Postea on the intention of the Pinchback Legisla- ture are divided in opinion as to who will be se- lected as Kellogg’s successor. Pinchback’s friends claim that he has a majority and will be elected, unless money is more potent than popularity. E. E. Norton, formerly of New York city, but a resi- dent of New Orleans since 1867, is believed to be the coming man. He has held a very lucrative oMce under United States Judge Durelli—that of General Assignee in Bankruptcy—and is believed to have made an im- mense fortune at the expense of the people of Louisiana who were pompelied to go through the Bankruptcy Oourt at New Orleans.

The Goat Island Job—The Scheme to be Opposed in the Senate. The Goat Island job will be pressed in the Senate by a powerful lobby, the ruling spirit of which is Representative Sargent, Senator elect, of Califor- nia, and agent of the Central Pacific Railroad, wno, it is alleged, has not thought it beneath him to lobby in person, A most determined effort will be made to pass it during the present session. When the bill comes: up Senator Stewart, who is also in the interest of the job, will attempt to secure its reference to the Committee on Pacific Railroads, of which he isthe chairman. Failing in this he will try to put it through without reference toany committee. Senator Cole, one of the most indefatigable opponents of the measure, will ask that it be referrea to the Military Committee, on the just ground that military authorities are the most competent judges of the disposal of military reservations. Senator Cole has no doubt that the corrupt scheme will be defeated, although one of the leading administration Senators is strongly in favor of it, Mr, Stanford, President of thé Central Pacific Ratlroad, has come here to promote the scheme in person.
