NEW YORK HERALD, SATOR The splendid gold cross | AMUSEMENTS. Signor Campanini as Lionel tn “Martha-” Flotow's comic opera, “Martha,” was produced last night at the Academy of Music for the first time this season, with Mme. Nilsson in the title rdle, M. Victor Capoul, the French tenore de grazia, bad been announced as the Lionel of the evening, but at the last moment posters were put out to the effeet that, in consequence of that artist being indisposed, Signor Campanini would appear in the part. M. Capoul’s Lionel is well known and widely appreciated, but the audience, which was @ large one, received the announcement @/ the change without any apparent dissatisiaction, Whatever disappointment might have been felt gave way toa lively feeling of curiosity as to the figure which the great Italian tenor would make in Flotow’s chef-@m@uvre, which is a favorite every- where, and in England regarded oiten as the cru- cial test of aspiring prime donne. Signor Cam- panini’s Lionel was in every respect a success. From the solo profugo, in the first act, he exhibited perfect ease in the part and entire command of the music, His clear chest notes in the upper register came with- out effort; and in the closing scenes, when passion gives place to comedy and madness succeeds, his portrayal of the varying shades of emotion was very fine. He did not act the lover in the first in- stance with much warinth, but his singing was all that could be desired. There is a pointat which the loves of operatic tenors become nauseous, but Cam- panini jails short of this to the extent o1 being some- what cold. It has one good effect in this opera, we may state for what it is worth, namely, saving the position of Lady Henriette from appearing very periious in the farmhouse. In the third act, where he has the stage to himsel’, and can discourse in @ manner “most musical, most melancholy” with the audience upon his love-lorn condition, he reaped enthusiastic laudits and @ well- deserved encore in “M’appari.” It 18 long, indeed, since a New York audience heard 80 deliciously plamtive, exquisitely phrased and evenly sung a rendering of this morceau, His acting and singing to the close of the act were im- passioned and tascinating, the air “Ah che a voi porous Iddio” being magnificently given, aithough he chorus gota little out of its latitude and had to be called to order. The fourth act was ruthlessly chopped to pieces, the head and tail only being left, and the fine scene between Lionel and Henrietta, which forms the body of the act, thrown away. ‘This makes the finale abrupt and the story nonsense; but the ways of the pruners are inscrutable, For Campa- nini the performance was, however, a decided sac- cess. Mile. Nilsson’s Martha is too well know to the operatic world to need long notice here, Last evening it was all thatit has been, and that is high praise. It was in this part that the fair artiste first receivea her place in London 1n_ the operatic constellation. Her singing of the “Last Rose of Summer” was marked with the charming simplicity and pure quality of ‘tone which the noble melody demands—conditious on which many a singer's reputation has been shipwrecked. Miss Cary’s Nancy was a sprightly performance, and if her sauciness was a littie more piquant and a littie less brusque the part would be greatly improved. Her rich contralto was heard to advantage throughout, and in the duet with Miss Nilsson in the first act she fairly divided the honors. Signor Del Puente as Plunkett was a marked suc- cess. The familiar drinking song and chorus at the beginning of the third act, “Chi mi dira,” was well honorea with a recall, The concerted pieces were very fairly given. The chorus, particularly, we regret to say, the ladies, would have been the better for some rehearsing, the hunting chorus for female voices being espe- cially noticeable in its weakness and want of co- herence. The famous spinning wheel quartet was capitally given. It seems almost hopeless to protest against the fearful iaulure to pre- sent the scenery and accessories of any opera at the Academy. The Richmond fair scene was set with the old snow-clad Alpine background. This scene is lke the head of the Charles the First which Master Dick, in “David Copperfield,"? could not keep out of his memorial; it cannot be kept out of any opera at that house. Lt would be paintul to continue the catalogue of dismal shortcomings in this respect, The impresario may not be to blame in this; but the public is convinced that some- thing should be done to fulfil oft-made promises on this score. First Philharmonic Rehearsal. This time honored society began its thirty-second season at the Academy of Music yesterday. The at- tendance was smaller than on any previous occa- sion, owing, probably, to the reticence observed by the members of the society in respect to the pgp ed the season. Three orchestral works were rehearsed under the direction ot Mr. Carl Berg’ mann. They were Beethoven's ‘Fourth Symphony’ in B flat major; the introduction to ‘Loreley,”” by Max Bruch, and Ltszt’s best composition, “Les Préludes.”” — Bruch’s work is new and is conceived in the true Mendelssohnian spirit. There are a simplicity and poetry of treatment in it which are quite a relie: from the noisy and labored style of other modern German com- osers. The composer has been known here before throvgh the introduction of the Liederkranz Society, which presented bis masterpiece, “Frithiof's Sage,” on two occasions. His instru- mentation is effective without being incomprehen- sible, and he ev.dently believes in the good oid Schools rather than in the pagan notions of some of his contemporaries. The delicious movements of the “Fourth Symphony” formed an attractive foil to the massive Measures of Liszt's symphonic poem. The programme is of greater musical value than one might expect from the society, and indicates rejorm on the part of tne directory and an aban- donment of the whimsical ideas of the schools of the juture, Musieal and Dramatic Notes. Boucicault has bought from the French authors the right to adapt to our stage the uew drama of “The Gascons.”” King Victor Emmanuel, while in Vienna, deco- rated Johann Strauss with the insignia of the Order of the Crown of Italy. An iron theatre, in the American style, is to be built on the site of the Café Concordia, in the Grande Rue de Péra, in Constantinople. Messrs, Charles Mathews, Phelps and Toole, the English comedians, are to appear in one play dur- ing the nine nights preceding Christmas, Mlle. Roussiel, a débutante, ts highly praised by the Parisian crities, who say her performance of Pheare is the best since the days of Rachel, An endeavor is making by a committee of gen- tiemen im London to procure the represer' there of a series of ancient Italian operas; awong them Patssello’s “Il Barbiere,” Pergolesi’s “La Serva Padrona” and Cimarosa’s “Giannini e Bernardone.” It is desired that Signor Monari Rocca, the buffo, should direct the representations. RIGHTS OF BANKRUPTS, Important Decision by the United States Court of Richmond, Va. RricnmonD, Va., Oct. 31, 1873. In the United States Circuit Court to-day, in the cases of George W. Dillard and other bankrupts, Judge H. L. Bond rendered a most important deci- sion. The creditors, having docketed judgment, obtained decrees in the State Court directing the sale of Dillard’s property. Aiterwards Dillard fled @ petition in bankruptcy and claimed the home; stead exemption of $2,000, Which exemption was aliowed in the United States District Court by Judge Underwood. The creditors then carried the case before Judge Bond by petition, and he decided the following points, which entirely reverse the ruling of Judge Underwood :— Firet—When suits are pending in State courts before the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, if there be no suggestion of fraud and no interests of the general credit will be projudged, the Bankruptcy Court ought not to interfere with the jurisdiction of the State Court. ‘Second—When the bankrupt has made of trust to secure creditors he is not entitled to any exe:nption out of the property conveyed until the deed is satisfied or ad- Judged fraudulent as to creditors by the State Court. Taird—U the proceedings in bankrup: were com- menced before the Marc 3, 1873, the bankrupt is entitied to such exemption only as allowed by the laws existing at the time the pro- ceedings commenced. Fourth—Ihe amendatory act so far ns it is declaratory of the intentions of the act of 1867 18 void. Fith—the rights of the bankrupt and the creditors are fixed according to the laws in force when the bankruptcy proceedings commenced, and no subsequent legislation can attect them. THE NEWARK FRAUDS. Persons Indicted for Perjury—A Contractor on Trial. One of *he main channels through which the peo- ple of Newark, according to general belief, sup- ported by the strongest ex parte evidence, have been fleeced of hundreds of thousands of dollars during the past four or five years, ts the sewer and street “improvement” business, whereby a num- ber of contractors have risen from poverty to aflu- epce in a very short time. One of the ‘jobs’ whereby the people, as tees were compelled to pay for work not properly done 1s the Springfield avenue paving improvement. The contractor was Thomas O'Connor, Aiter the last ayment had been made to him by the city the citizens aiong the line rerused to pay the assess- ments, on the ground that, as they alleged, the work had not been done according to contract. A bill restraining the city from collecting the amounts was fled in Chancery. Another was filed by O'Connor on the city, alleging that the work had been done according to contract. Appended to the latter were the aifidavits of Bernard M. Shanley, another contractor, and three or four Other persons, swearmg that the work was done properly. Shanley and three in- Spectors, named Dyckes, Buchner and Smith, were indicted for perjury, Yesterday, in the Newark Court of Quarter Sessions, young Shan- ley was placed on trial, his case being made a tes The case is still on, and considerable interest ts felt in the iasue, as tt will have an important bear- ing on other cases of a similar character to come Delore this and next term of Cour, Four Passage of the amendatory act of | WASHINGTON. \ The Rumors Concerning Secretary Bichardson— - He Will Probably Be Nominated Chief Justice or Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Secretary Richardson the Probable Suc~ cessor to Chief Justice Chase. Wasninoton, Oct. 31, 1873. Will Secretary Richardson leave the Cabinet in a few days ora few months? How much was the defalcation in the New York Sub-Treasury, which Assistant Secretary Sawyer is said to have paid a hasty visit to New York om Wednesday to ascer- tain? And is the report true that the President has requested Secretary Richardson to buy more bonds with legal tenders drawn from the $44,000,000 re- serve, and excuse the motive to Congress, having @ two-thirds republican majority? These were three questions generally asked in and about the Treasury Department to-day, without the seekers after information satisfying their curiosity. Regarding the future of Secretary Richardson there is the highest authority tor the statement that President Grant esteems the Secretary of the Treasury a8 4 man inevery way qualified for the important trust confided to him, and that he is in perfect accord with the Secretary on every finan- cial question and measure. As in the selection of Mr. Richardson to be Mr. Boutwell’s successor the President did not consult politicians, he is not disposed to regard their sneers and criticisms. He should stand by him as long as he remained in the Cabinet, regardless of the opinions of others, The unequivocal statement of the President set at rest all doubt as to Mr. Richardson’s popularity in the White House. That much having been as- certained, there was still room to believe that his resignation might be tendered at any time, and calling upon him in his office the leading question was asked if he contemplated early retirement to private life, to which the Secretary replied :— “I will say now, as | said over four years ago, when called to the office of Assistant Secretary, that I prefer the quiet of civil lite to the thankless care of official life. If that affords a basis for the report of my intended resignation it could just as well have been circulated years ago as to-day. In fact, during the summer of 18701 did insist upon leaving the department, but the President refusing to accept my resignation, and Secretary Boutwell urging me to remain with him, I reluctantly yielded to their wishes. So far as the cares of office having Increased, I was congratulating myself to-day that matters had quieted down, leaving abundance of time for the preparation of my an- nual report, and reflection upon the principal points to be embodied in it respecting our filnan- cial status, So the thought of resigning is as re- Mote now as when I entered upon the discharge of the duties of the office.”” “l understand that youhave made arrangements to live in Washington, Is it trae?” “Yes; [am very comfortably provided for in the way of a residence, and certainly have no idea of leaving Washington yet a while.” This was the extent of the conversation, and the Secretary resumed work on his annual report. Concerning the reported defalcation in the Assist- ant Treasurer’s oflice in New York he knew noth- ing and had heard nothing,and as he had no money to buy bonds, or market for the sale of gold, the statement repeatedly made that the reserve would be drawn upon only to pay government in- debtedness was the answer to any rumor of change in the financial programme. So far, then, as the Secretary of the Treasury may be quoted as authority the last two ques- tions so generally asked may be considered definitely answered, Not so, however, with the first—will Secretary Richardson leave the Cabi- net in a few days or @ few months? That Mr. Richardson expects to remain in Washington for some time is evidenced in his lease of one of the largest and most elegant residences in Wasbing- ton, formerly occupied by J.C. Kennedy and fur- nished in the most thorough manner. To the fine appointments of his new residence Mr. Richard” son bas added much of his furniture from his home in Cambridge, Maas., and all of it has not yet arrived. But a suspicion has recently gained ground that he would not remain at the head ot the Treasury Department very long. A prominent official said to-night, in talking over the rumors which arise in Washington from time to time, tnat he knew how triendiy were the rela- tions existing between the President and Secre- tary Richardson. “What ground,” I asked, “can there be, then, for saying that the President is not pleased with Mr. Richardson's actions, or that he does not con- sider him a man of enough ability for the oMce “There is not the slightest foundation for such report; on the contrary, my impression is that Presideat Grant will follow the example of Jackson and Lincoln in conferring upon his Secretary of the Treasury the appointment of Chief Justice of the United States; or, if he makes the selection from among the Associate Justices, which I do not believe he will, then he wili conter the vacancy so made on Mr. Richardson.”” From another source it was ascertained that | while the President had not fully made up his mind as to the successor of the late Chief Justice Chase, there was no doubt but that the President would readily confer a high judicial appointmcut on Mr. Richardson, the duties of which would be far more congenial to his taste than those now im- posed upon him as the Secretary of the Treasury. The Subscription to the Five Per Cent Loan $90,000,000. The Syndicate has closed its last subscription to the five percent loan amounting to $15,000,000, which begins on the 16th day of November. Thisis the most prompt transaction yet made, and in view of the encouragement received from the German government the Syndicate has made a further subscription of $5,000,000, making a total of $70,000,000, The call of the Treasury Depart- ment on June 6 of $20,000,000, independent of the Syndicate, in connection with the Geneva award, makes a total subacription thus far of $90,000,000, The contract with the Syndicate does not expire until December 1, and will probably be renewed before that date, The Wandering Modocs. Orders were issued to-day for the removal of the Modocs, who are now at Fort McPherson, to a per- manent location with the Quapaws on the Neosho river, im the extreme northeastern corner of the indign Territory. Putting the Screws on the Sioux. Roving bands of Sioux Indians having recently molested, and in some cases cruelly raided on, the Pawnees and other iriend‘y tribes, the matter has been made the subject of consultation between the Interior and War Departments, as a result of which orders were to-day given by the latter that all Sioux found off their reservation with hostile intend to other tribes be struck and punished, Striking Bricklayers. The bricklayers of Washington, having no fear of hard times before their eyes, to-day struck for $5 per day of eight hours. The bosses agreed to give flity cents per hour, but refused to pay $5 for eight hours’ work. Bricklayers from other cities are expected to-morrow and Monday. Work on the residence of the British Legation is temporarily suspended on this account. The Estimates for tho Legislative Branch of the Government have all been prepared, and show an increase over those of any previous year. This is accounted for by the fact that the pay of members and Senators now 1s more than heretofore. In lieu of the mile- age accounts formerly considered are estimated the actual travelling expenses of Senators and members to and trom the national capital. The estimates for the salaries of Senators tor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1875, are $555,000, and for the pay of officers and employés of the Senate, $144,000; for contingent expenses, $199,0C0, For salaries of members of the House the estimates are $2,400,000; for salaries of oMcers and employés, $218,000; contingent expenses, $267,000, Another cause of the increase ts that the mumber of mem- bers of the House now is 292, instead of 242, as under the old apportionment. The mileage ac- counts heretofore were revkoned on a basis of ten cents per mile each wa! but, under the new jaw Mmiting jhe pruileare te tho aotum DAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. travelling expenses, It is thought three cents per mile each way will embrace all. The esti- mates for the House especially are always larger than the actuat expenses, as allowances are made for contested election cases, where two members from the same district are oftentimes paid trav- elling expenses and the attendance of witnesses, &c. The unexpended balance is always conveyed into the Treasury. Mr. Low, Minister to China, is still in this eity, and will remain here for about a week longer. Mr. Low say# that he has no intention whatever of resign- ing bis present office, and never has had, and that the statements made to that effect were erron- eOus= The National Domain.

St. Lours, Oct. 31, 1873, The Senate Transportation Committee to-day heard the statements of several old steamboat owners and other gentlemen acquainted with commerce as to the condition and capabilities, as @ means of transportation, of the Mississippi River. All of them agreed that ifthe river was properly improved ireight would be carried at half the present minimum rates, Captain John 8, McClune, President of the Keo- kuk Northern Packet Line and a steamboat man for thirty years, said that the Upper Rapids have been greatly improved by the government, and but little more work is needed there, but much Was still required at the Lower Rapids.
