A dramatization of Wiikie Collins’ latest study of ‘ocial ethics, ‘The New Magdalen,” was produced tor the first time in this city last night at Booth’s, Miss Bella Pateman made her first appearance this season in it as the prodigy of penitence and victim “ol virtuous society, who, from a childhood and youth of vice, in the streets of London, ts trans- formed by the novelist’s skill into an ornament | of social life in aa aristocratic English | family.

Julian Gray, a radical English clergyman, who in the end iliustrates the virtue of charity and ‘varries the repentant Magdalen, sustained his ; changed character satisfactorily, as also did Miss Mary Wells that of Sally Janet. Besides the false mor- any of the story, the play drags under wearisome ‘halognes and repeated explanations, which make 4t, especially in the earlier scenes, tedious.

Prognostications of the Coming Convention at Worcester. HUMORS OF THE CAMPAIGN. | A Terrible Proclamation by a Terrible Fellow--- Butler and the Newspapers. Boston, Sept. 5, 1873. It would be strange, indeed, if among a people 80 erudite as the people of Massachusetts a con- test like the one now going’on in this State should not develop some new thing. Already the cam- paign seems to have developed undiscovered prin- ciples of arithmetic, Yesterday one of the journals ooted up the delegates already chosen to the Worcester Convention as 155 for Washburn, 174 for Butler and 14 doubtiul. To-day the same journal finds the additional returns have 80 the complexion of affairs that Butler has now only one majority, Washburn having 213 delegates to 214 for Butler. The 14 are still doubtiul, of course. Another paper, whieh yesterday gave Butler 16 to 151 for Washburn, to- day reverses the figures and puts Washburn at 197, while Butler has only 192. Unfortunately for these figures, or rather for the hopes based upon these figures by the biue-blooded readers of the Boston newspapers, this journal is “uncertain” about the proclivities of 35 delegates. The doubtful figures make both tables worthless, and I do not believe that even the Professor of Mathematics at Harvard College will put any trust in them. Turning from these flerce anti-Butler organs to a paper more moderate in tone, but which, nevertheless, avows its belief that Butler will be beaten in the Convention, we find the following as yesterday’s figures—Butler 186, to 154 for Washburn. This morning the same journal gives Butler 229, and Washburn 201. At the Butler headquarters yesterday the figures were made to count 260 for Butler to 158 tor Washburn. This morning they stood 230 to 206. About one-half the delegates are now chosen; but these figures afford no criterion from which to judge the general re- sult, and they are only useful as showing that Butler started well in the race, and that the con- vest at Worcester will be a most spirited one. PROGNOSTICATIONS OF THE WORCESTER CONVENTION. It seems as if everybody in Massachusetts is going to Worcester on Wednesday. The Conven- tion not only excites the deepest political interest but it is also very attractive to people who want to see ‘fun.’ Nobody expects it to be an extremely humorous body—as a rule Massachusetts politi- cians are not witty—and yet everybody insists upon it that next week the place for “fun” will be the town of Worcester. Words have queer mean- ings in New England, and “fun” I am led to believe signifies im this case a free fight in the Convention. There can hardly fail to be a grand row on that occasion. Both sides seem determined upon it or at least openly declare that they expect it. The only question that remains to be settled is in regard to the arrangement of the tableaux. This can scarcely be done till the Convention meets. If Butler is able to carry the organization and have everything pretty much his own way in the beginning, a dignified “bolt” will be the method adopted by the Brahmins. If the scales are about evenly balanced, the report will read at a certain part of the proceedings, “Here a@ scene or wild disorder,” &c., &c., de- scribed according to the taste or feelings of the reporter, but signiiying that the Convention jailed to make a nomination. Prognos- tications of this Kind are ireely mdulged in, and, stran, to say, the only way that it is expected trouble can be averted will be by beating Butler outrigat. “But will not Butler ran this time even if he is beaten in the Convention,” I asked of a strong Washburn man. “Oh, no,’ he answered, “Butler has not the courage to adopt so bold a course, lor if he did he would separate himself from the republican party and destroy the patron- age he obtains trom the national administration.” All the threats of “boiting’’ come from the friends of Governor Washburn, and in case there is a free fight in the Convention the chances are that some blue-bicoded Brahmin will lead in the fray. GENERAL BUTLER AND A FREE FIELD. A free field and a iatr fight is a motto in which General Butler professes to believe. Hearing so much talk about the coming “bolt” in the Conven- tion I determined to call upon him to ascertain, if possible, what his own views and teelings were in Tegard to the matter. He avows, as a matter of course, his belief in his ability to carry the Conven- tion. If he carries it he obtains control of the party organization—an advantage which his ene- mies have branded in advance as “stealing.” In such event he cannot fail to carry the State, in spite of the tntimations of the Advertiser, speaking for the Brahmins, that tnen the “plue” vote will be given for Gaston, the democratic candidate. Gaston is very popular and is the representative oi the young or progressive democracy. 1am toid on every hand that he will poll more votes than any candidate who could have been named by the democracy. It is among the contingencies of the next week that Washburn will be abandoned al- together by the Brahmins, This contingency can only happen in case Butler is very strong in the Convention, in which case the old whigs will support the young demo- crat with the hope ef beating Butler in the State. ‘This arrangement would be very distastetul to the democracy, and if it 18 consummated General butler is confident that he can Kowal 4 30,000 out of the 50,060 democratic votes in Massachusetts. Ido not believe, however, that this policy will be adopted, simply because Butler cannot show such overwhelining strength in the Convention as to justuy the desertion of Washburn, even with so noble a battlecry as “Anything to beat Ben Butler!” Gaston may not accept at all, for he seems to be holding back till after the Republican Convention. That is the event at which every- thing hangs, but m regard to which speculation is fruitiess, 80 great are the uncertainties, It 1s not improbable, however, that there will be three can- didates in the field, and that all of them will go in to win—Gaston for the democracy, Wash burn for the old whig dynasty of the State, and Butler tor himself and the part of the republican party to which he has given courage and organiza- tion. It was to this iatter contingency that I directed Generai Butler’s particular attention and asked his opinion. He thought some such policy Was contemplated, and declared that, in spite of the great labor it would entail, 1 would suit him as well a8 any course that could be taken; for his strength with the a ies was unquestioned, and a victory would forever destroy the faction that now rules the repuoiican party of the State. THE PURPOSES AND PEARS OF THE POLITICIAN! It 1s very amusing to hear the two factions tal honesty and respectability, There never was such a monster as Butler must be, according to the re- port of his enemies, “A Congressman who had no word o| condemnation tor the Crédit Mobilier irauds;” “lowering the standard of Massachusetts honor; “Butler a8 Governor means a Butler Legislature, with salary grabbing reduced to a sclenct ‘a libeller of the press and the religious organizations; “a bad mand’ and “a man not fit to be Governor,” are a few of the phrases constantly ut- tered against him, According to Mr. George F. Hoar, Butler is even responsible for the ratiroad and other monopolies, Even Mr. Dawes, himself a sal- ary grabber and a debauched public servant, is on the stump exposing butler. The fears and pur- poses of the anti-Butler men are concentrated in one word, “Butler.’’ On the other hand, General But- ler gives the most roseate account of the purpos oi his party. ‘These are to rescue the republican party, organized to elevate the lowly, from the hands of the capitalists and the monopolists and give the power back to the people, to bring the party back to the purposes for which it was founded, But the other side talks this kind of thing also, and as each side declares besides that what the people want is right—that who they want as Governor they will have—it is as well, perhaps, to wait and see Who and what they get. THE FUNNY INCIDENT OF THE CANVASS. ‘There has been 80 much bitterness in this can- vass that the humorous element has had little chance jor expansion, but it has at least one funny incident, B. LD. Godfrey, the zealot who inter- rupted Butler at South Framingham, on the Fourth oi vuly, has been following lim ail over the State trying to ask questions, The man is ap- parently a lunatic, but the Boston papers al- tect regard him as e, and say it ts because he asks onvenient questions” that General Butler calls him “a crazy man,’?

GENERAL BUTLER AND THE NEWSPAPERS. Only one point remains to be considered in this letter—namely, the hostility of the newspapers to General Butler. In Boston, where Butler's in- fuence is very strong, the press, almost without exception, is against him. Not only is it against him, but few of the papers in this city will support him even if he is nominated. ‘The same thing is true of the journals in the large towns, as Worcester and Springfield, while in the vil- lages and smaller places many of the papers support him. The canvass is in this respect an unusual one, but the interest felt in the result is so general, both in and out of the State, that Butler has been able to say his say even in the papers which are bitterly opposed to him. To be without Butler's latest speech for a Boston paper 18 to be without the news. Among other things this caucus will long be noted for the fact of the almost unanimous hostility of the press to a candidate who fought the most vigurous cam- paign in the history of State politics, Both Parties Tired Out—Vigorous Fig- uring of the Factions—The Returns of Delegates Unreliable and Unsatisfac- tory. Boston, Sept, 6, 1873, The canvass in this State during the week, though a close and a bitter one, was almost en- tirely lacking in incident or excitement. The work was confined to electing delegates to the Convention, and the battle between Butler and Washburn was principally fought in the country villages. So far as Boston is concerned nothing happened except the calling of hard names and the wise prognosti- cations of improvised caucuses. But the work, such as it was, tired out everybody. To-night the Butler headquarters are closed, and General Butler himself has retired to Lowell for Sunday rest and | recuperation for the decisive days of the canvass. Up to the present time the figures which have been received do not indicate the result at Worcester on Wednesday. In the beginning Butler led, but Washburn seems in the majority at present, though the figures are deliciously uncertain. All the papers, apparently on the same reports, differ widely as to the results, The most bitter ot the anti-Butler papers for some days has been crediting Washburn with a majority of the delegates chosen. Another anti-Butler organ this morning gave Washburn 304, Butler 266, and doubtiul 26, This afternoon the same journal juts the figures as foliows:—Washburn 344, jutler 282, and doubtful 27. Additional re- turns having been received, the Butler paper in this city with the same figures makes the Jooting—Butler, 312; Washburn, 303. And at the Butler headquarters the tally this evening was 316 for Butler to 293 1or Washburn. About one-half the delegates now chosen are reported, but with such conflicting estimates the question is, Who has got them? These figures are exclusive of the cau- cuses held to-day. Reports have veen received to-night from eight towns, which give Butler 18 and Washburn 13. The remaining towns will be about evenly divided. As it is impossible to say with certainty to which of the estimates they ought to be added, this must be leit to the reader @s a question of private judgment. DISRUPTION. The Operations of the Federal Ring— Tremendous Reaction Against But- ler—The Renomination of Governor Washburn Assured. {From the Boston Advertiser (republican organ) Sept. 6.) This year for the second time the republican party of the State is distracted by the impertinent self-assertion of one member of it. The partisans who are doing bis work are in his hands, not he in theirs, They support him because ne calis upon them to doso. What other member of the party would insist upon his own preference for himself for office in the face of such opposition as General Butler encounters? If it were not for him the fac- tion he commands would disperse. He is their reason for being, their organization and their prin- ciple. Take him away and they would have no mo- tive, no bond and no existence. Two years ago he was decisively beaten. Instead of submitting to that expression of the | wiil of the people he feigned acquiescence and straightway began plotting for another contest with his party. He will be beaten again, and again he will seek a reconciliation in order that he may the better pursue his aims. He imagines that he can revolt with impunity, and that if unsuccessful it will cost him nothing. It is high time this in- solent conceit was disappointed. The State Con- vention will jailin its most important duty if it neglects to take measures to prevent another repetition of the scandalous scenes of 1871 and 1873. A bold and unequivocal condemnation of his seli-seeking and his methods ought to have author- itative official expression in the proceedings-of the State Convention. There must be an end of treating him as if he were a representative man of tne party. It is a delusion that he honors the repubitcan name or serves the republican cause by his prominence. It 18 a delusion, unless republicanism has come to be synonymous with corruption, intrigue, extrava- gance and the utter degradation o1 politics, in which case it is high time tor honorable men with patriotic instincts to find another and fitter in- strument for the expression of their judgment in ubiic aitairs. There has been fooliug enough in | he name of harmony. Wisdom and courage. enemies are of our own household, and they are formidable. One boid, selfish man 1s their leader, and in him all the rest live and move aud have their being. Make him impotent, and they would cease to annoy. ‘That Governor Washburn will be nominated next week is now quite certain. That taken for granved, there remains three duties which it would be disas- trous to shirk, The back pay extortion, the only achievement of his Congressional career of which General Butier can boast without stealing honors that belong to others, must be rebuked, No gen- Meness is in place here. The voice of the republi- can party of Massachusetts must be clear and un- hesitating. The state, by the action of some of its representatives, has a bad pre-eminence in the Let us take counsel of busTiess. We must absolve ourselves or dis- honored. Unmeaning phrases will not serve the purpose. We must repudiate the thing and the men who are responsibie for it with a sincerity of indignation that will make excuses absurd. The interference of national ofice-hoiders with local politics must be deait with summartiy. The people are a unit on this question, The offence ot the federal ring in Massachusetts is intolerable. The resolution of the democratic platiorm on this point is a good one; but li a more vigorous and ex- «pressive one cal written let us have it. No ; gil mincing of fine phrases wi jce.

Let it be invigorated with new men and new ideas, The United States o2ice- holders on the committee shouid by all means be dropped. Being on the committee is a temptation to industrious Intrigue, which apparent lack of employment elsewhere makes quite toe strong. Ii the Convention will accomplish the works in- dicated, it will do more for the honor, prosperity and permanence of the historic republican party than any recent convention has done. And we be to remind the members of it in all candor that. THE ONLY QUESTION 18, WHETHER THESE WORKS SHALL BR DONE BY THE REPUBLICAN party or another? The Boston Traveller (Butlerite) thus huris a jave- lin against the Advertiser for its attack on the national administration for its alleged Butlerism :— The characteristic want of candor, in seeming candor, which has marked the conduct of the Advertiser thus far in denouncing Butler and pre- tending to beiriend Grant has avatied it nothing; and now, seeing that hypocrisy 18 no longer of use, it raises the standard of revolt against the President. We beg the enemies of the admin- istration not to stayin the party one hour. The doors are open. Let them clear out, one and all, hor stand upon the order of their going. ‘They have thrown down the gauntlet. We pick it up in the name ofthe people. Their ultimatum is that the administration snall cease to show its trust in its ablest advocate on pain of seeing them revolt, We tell them again they may go. We tell them that their arrogant pretensions will not be en- dured. We defy them to do tneir worst. THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION. Triumph of the Independent Party— Governor Booth’s Chances for the Sen= ate. San FRANCISCO, Sept. 6, 1873. Returns trom the interior indicate the election ef the independent Senators from Los Angeles, Tulare, Santa Clara, Alameda, Sacramento, Solano and Placer counties, There is a good prospect of Bartlett and Hallidie, independents for Senators from this city. Several republicans who hold over will probably vote for Governor Booth for United States Senator. His strength in the Senate will range from twelve of the election tw fifteen votes, Assuming the election of independent Assemblymen from this city, Booth will have thirty votes in the Lower House, with a probability of tnree or four more, There is @ prospect that he may have forty- five votes at the beginning on a joint ballot. The result may be varied by official count. In this city the contest between Roach, demo- crat, and Bartlett, independent, for the State Senate is still close. The count is not yet com- pleted, and will not be before Monday. Ots, independent, for Mayor, is undoubtedly elected, PENNSYLVANIA POLITIOS, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6, 1873.

SKYWARD TO EUROPE, for pas' for correspon Professor Wise’s Balloon on Exhibition— Description of the Machine and {ts Equipment—Ascension Day the 10th of September. The Wise balloon was on exhibition at the Capi- toline Grounds, Brooklyn, last evening. The aerial spheroid had been inflated with air for the purpose of exhibition, and many were the comments passed upon the structure and the possibilities of its suc- cessfully crossing the Atlantic Ocean by the spec- tators. The balloon itself (the smaller one has been dispensed with) is 350 feet in vertical and 918 teet in horizontal circumference, 4,316 yards of unbleached sheeting of a close quailty being used in its construction. The crown of the airship is doubled for a space of fifty- Jeet from the top with similar material, and, in all, there are 14,080 yards, or eight miles of sewing in the huge machine. The network is composed of three- stranded Europe rope, well tarred. Its circum- ference is 318 meshes, and :he breaking strength is 29 tons 300 pounds. From the netting hang fifty- three ropes, each ninety feet in length, and which connect with concentrating rings, Which support the car, lifeboat and trailing rope, In a large tent pon the grounds were exhibited for inspection the life boat (which has lately been sailing round the streets of New York on a truck) the car, the swiit-winged carrier pigeons destined | to accompany the voyagers, and the paper canoe, which is to be slung alongside the car, This little crait 18 12 feet in length, with 2 feet beam; is rigged with a sail and is very light. The lite boat is 22 feet long, 6 feet beam; is sioop rigged, and, with all her gear, weighs 1,486 pounds. The car is made of stout ropes, With @ flooring raised two teet from its bot- tom, It has a canvas purdah, or side awning, that can be spread or furied at will.
