10 ‘ x THE STATE CAPITAL. Legislative Caucuses and Nominations. James L. Husted, of Westchester, Be the Speaker. ps toe ALBANY, Jan. &, 1874. ‘The struggle for the Speakership bas at last ‘ended—as | foretold in my despatch yesterday that St would—tn @ most decided victory for the “Bald Eagle of Westehester,” James W. Husted. The republican caucus met in the Assembly Chamber at Dalf-past seven o'clock, apd by the time it was called to order the galleries and lobbies and even the passage wayson the floor of the House were crowded with spectators, many of them veing old members, who had come {rom distant parts of the Btate during the past two days in order to in- uence the action of their successors in the con- “test. "pusem to say the only two surviving members of the Caucus Committee of the last House are ‘Hosted and Prince, and so as chairman of that com- mittee it fell to the lot of Mr. Prince to call the caucus to order, Mr. Husted himself nominated ¥F. A. Alberger, of Erie, as the presidjng officer. The usual humdrum proceedings relative to the appointment of the other officers.of the caucus were then gone through with, and finally the nomina- ‘Mons were in order. NAMING THE CANDIDATES. Mr. Wight, of Westchester, nominated Mr. ‘Husted, and referred at considerable length to the *-Baid Eagie’s” fidelity to his party in the past, and ‘how he had fairly won the honor he coveted by his Waiuable services to the republican cause at all ‘times. General Batcheller, of Saratoga, then put L. Bradford Prince in nomination, and paid a high ulogium to us character and ability as a legislator, Charies Spencer, of New York, seconded tie momination of Mr. Husted in the most glowing terms. Mr. Brewer, of Cattaraugus, seconded the Momination of Mr. Prince. Harvey G. Eastman, of Poughkeepsie, then got ‘the floor to have his polished say about the great- mess and goodness of his friend, Mr. Husted. From @ detailed description of the party services of Mr. ‘Busted he fell into a few remarks about the sacri- @ces members had to make in coming to Albany, ‘and why it was, therefore, @ necessity that a man should be nominated for Speaker who would wind ‘up the session in 100 days. WHaT HE CAMB FOR “7 come here,” said he, “for $3a day, when I might make $300 elsewhere ;” and a voice called out from the lobbies, “You can make it here if you go the right way about it.” This was too much for good Mature, and, amid the laughter that greeted the sally, Eastman sat down and joined heartily in the general hilarity. Mr. Vedder was the next to ak in favor of Mr. Husted, but even his full wn remarks—a «areful copy of which he had on the table beicre him—were pot proof against the apparent desire o! many mt to make the caucus a scene of general fon and merriment. During his speech ‘Mr. Vedder referred to certain insinuations made against the candidates as ‘soulless spectres of a ‘tainted air.” What else he would have said on particular subject it would be im ible “soulless”? To that was meant, certainly, and which cut his period short. To be complimentary. Mr. Vedder ‘was also nade a butt of when he remarked thal Defore he le't Cattaraugus, tue statements he h: read in the newspapers about the two candidates had heft him in an undecided mood. “Well,” ex- claimed a voice quite audibie pore to be heard all over the house, “Baalam’s ass didn’t speak be- fore he saw the angel.” Mr. Vedder was loliowed by Mr. Badge, who ad- ‘vocated the claims oi Mr. Prince strougly, and was supported in his views bya new member, named Burrows, irom Onondaga county, who, by the way he made use of the expression “WHAT I KNOW,” ‘was evidently nnder the impression that his teliow members duiing the balance o/ the session might Jearn a great deal from him. balloting was ai last begun, amid a great deal of excitement—Biglin, of New York, and i, 01 Frankim, acting as tellers. Badger was evidently cious of Biglin’s handling of the baliot box an kept his eye on Barney during the voting. But Mr. Badger’s suspicions, if he bad any, were groundiess, and the purity of the Daliot was not viwiated by any one. When the ‘Vote was announced as 44 for Mr. Husted to 28 for Mr. Prince mpg 3 cheers were given for the “Bald ,” and he was soon surrounded by the Members, Who vied with one another in the vigor of their congratulations, while Prince was leit alo! seeming all of a sudden to have no md at all in the House. He got the floor, however, when the excitement came to an end, and moved that Air. Husted’s nomination be Unanimous. The motion was carried, and Mr. Husted at once went over to Mr. Prince and shook him warmly by the hand, and thus ended the strife of the republicans for the honors of the Speakership. As between the two candidates: pat in nomination a bad choice could not have mM made, so the friends of both Mr. Prince and Mr. Husted can begin the session without any heartbreaking or fears as to the new Speaker be- coming & failure before the adjournment. it may be said, as a not very surprising fact, that Tom “Liverd was not ip the caucus during the contest for the Speakership. What 1s more, he ‘Was not invited; 60 if he a away of his own accord or not the result is all the same, He is to be considered an independent, and can swing round the circle of his various ambitions with & total disregard for the two political parties, while ‘his knowledge of legislation and legislators may ‘bring bim no small amount of political capital be- Jore the close of the 100 days. His ambition, his friends have often remarked, was to be looked Upon as an get enn He can now make the Most of that ambition gratified. REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

Raiding in the “Hub” Against the Ruin- ations ot Rum—The Parker House and Other Hotels Sacked. Boston, Jan. 5, 1874 The question of the sale of spirituous beverages in Boston 1s no lopger @ vexed or uncertain one. ‘The faithful and immaculate oMcers of Pemberton square have at length solemnly and firmly resolved that henceforth and hereafter there shall be no contemptible discrim‘nation or impartiality in the rigid enforcement of that statute which provides fron doors and iron bars for the crue) fiend who dispenses intoxicating liquids to his fellow being. The corruption and favoritism which in years gone by have tarnished the fair fame of mora) Massacnu- setts in the enforcement of her probibitory liquor law, isto be known no more forever. Harvey Parker, George Young, Lewis Rice and all the other fugitives from justice, who manage the leading hotels of the “Hub” are to be forth- with consigned to cells in the same row with J. Clark, Bridget Sullivan and Terence McCarty. They are to live on prison fare, just the same as Pat Mulcahy, and file into the same bucket brigade im the morning, and hammer away in the ssme workshop during the day. Their stocks of choice ‘gold seal,” from Williams’ ware- house on State street, are to mingle in the same gutter with less palatable liquors which the O’Fia- herty gets from George 0. Robinson and Patsey O'Neil; and the law of total abstinence is, in short, to prevail everywhere alike. The spirit of General sachusetts, for the hauling down of the American flag by an enthusiastic rebel would have been no surer to have invited a fatal builes than is the sale of @ glass Of liquor to invite seizure of goods and incarceration of the body, Race, color, sex and pee condition of servitude are no longer to regarded as barriers to the impartial and rigid enforcement of the statutes for the promotion of temperance. THE WAR OP OFFENCE was commenced by the authorities this afternoon. The point of attack selected was the famous Parker House, on School street. At about two o'clock @ large — Wagon came thundering down from Beacon Hull and haltea immediately in front of the hoteL Four.dauntiess young officers, armed with revolvers and warrants, entered the | Motea edifice and proceeded immediately to the in the basement of the hotel. It was at an hour when the prohibited liquids were being | dispensed more generously ‘than at any other time of day. susiness men were there in numerous squads, imbibing the custo! appetizer before dinner, and be- sides these there were present a score or more of virtuous temperance members of the Legisiature, ail ofthem more or less happy, und two or three of the most radical from the country were as posi- tively ‘oily’ as they were Cog en riaicu- lous. The officers said not a word, but immediately “went for” the baz and its contents. THE BARKEEPERS retreated and sent for General Parker, and the General, in turn, sent up for Fitzsimmons, his chief clerk, ‘Take an inventory of what they carry away, James," exclaimed Parker, excitedly. -Ye: sir,” answered Fitzsimmons, and with pencil an card he recoraed the seizure of about $150 worth of common beverages. Information that a seizure at the Parker House was gong on spread rapidly through the vicimty, and in a jew momegta . - A LARGE CROWD collected in and around the hotel. Some of the spectators were very demonstrative in their move- ments and sarcastic in their remarks, and for @ time serious consequences were imminent. No violence was Offered, however, the assembled mu}- titude being content with manifesti their feel- ings re aneee and chaffing, all of which seriously disturbed the temper of the embarrassed ana faitli- Tul officials. That there was to be a clean sweep of the whole establishment was anticipated by Mr. Parker and everybody, and the noted landlord undoubtedly began to figure up how long it would take to make Bt the thousands which were to be taken from said, “I have got over $50,000 worth of contraband ves isin the wine room. I wonder if they will go lown there?” An examination of the warrant showed that the authority of the officers was not limited in search, and the idea that there was to be an example made of somebody rapidly occu- ied the mind of Mr. Parker. “I guess they mean usiness this time,” he said, with a vain attempt at a sickly smile, and then turning to Fitzsimmons, remarked sadly, “Be sure, Jawes, and make & Tecord of everything they take, because they will have to bring back all the imported stuff that ts in the original package.” ‘You bet,’ said Jim, aad then the crowd laughed and cheered. By this time the officers and their assistants had GONE OUT WITH THE PLUNDER of the barroom, and, while Mr. Parker and Jim were Waiting for their return, to go through the Wine cellar, the officers were driving rapidly towards headquarters. A messenger was deé- | spatched after them, who soon came back with the intelligenee that the seizure was all over and that the whole affair was simply to make a show just beiore the Legislature assembled. The crowd cursed, but Mr. Parker was happy, and immedi- ately ordered the barroom to be restocked. BUSLNESS Was at once resumed, and with an increase of patronage that very soon made up vor the loss sus- tained by the seizure. { OTHER RAIDS, Simultaneously with the raid on Parker's an- other aged of officers cleaned out the establish- ments of Thomas Ingelis and Mr. Foster, on Tre- mont street, opposite the Museum. About $1,000 worth of liquors and wines were taken from each place, and there were crowds and demonstrations attending the proceedings simular to those at the Parker House. As soon as the officers got away fresh supplies were ordered, and in hali an hour business was was going on as usual, CITY EXCITEMENT, These events have created great excitement in the city, and the places visited by the oficers are crowded this evening by parties who are discuss- in a lively manner the issues of the day, The officers at headquarters intimate that this is only the pestaning of @ pers'stent and systematic effort to shut up all the hotel and other lashionable bar- rooms in the city. If they are sincere protvably the places seized to-day will be cleaned out again to-morrow, and it is not unlikely that their visits may be extended to the Tremont, Young’s, Ameri- can, Revere and other leading hotels.

Sereaming Farce at Niblo’s. When intellect is at a low ebb among writers for the stage 1t t@ natural that players should go a svep further ana have done with the troublesome thing altogether. Between the factuous vapidity of the Present “emotional” school and the empty-leaded, rolling-eyed joliity of the pantomining clown there 16.4 wide difference. Unite the two in one dramatic body and you have something very like the matter performed at Niblo’s last evening, It was such a performance as would make a@ philosopher weep but which causes the average mor- tal vo laugh will the sides ache. ‘There were two pieces, Dut they were so much of a class that LeMngwell’s old piece, “Romeo Jaf- fer Jenkins,” might have been put on the bili: a rologue to the Vokes’ old piece, the “Bells of the itchen,” without anybody being much the wiser. To portray romance and emotion, with the clown’s vacuous grin for a satirical b: d, is the dramatic aim of both pieces—to cause everybody to lJaugh without the trouble of thinking about the process ts the result, It may be the great hulking Tomantic loafer of the first piece idolizing his Ma- tilda Jane Chummy, or it may be the boneless Votes ol the second apostrophizing @ tinpot moon, it is all the same which—one 18 as laiotic as the other— both are Comedy with its head shaved and grin- ning through the bars of Bediam. A lame audience fairly its) way through two hours and a hall of this passion in hysterivs, sobs in chackles, songs in shrieks and dances in contortions, What it all amounted to noone could imagine at the close, and we should have cur doubts of the man wno would andertake to analyze tt except at the treasurer’s box. If people wish to escape from the clogs of thought and plunge into the flelds of rank nonsense, LeMngwel! and Vokes’ are at hand to show them the way. There is just @ chance that the pablio would quickly be surfeited with so much nonsense all of the same kind, and we hope It will not Jast long. LeMngwell, the Vokes, and W. B, Cahill were in good limb and tone last nignt. ‘Wood’s Museum. The favorite sensational) drama, “The Strects of New York.” was presented to a sympathetic audi- ence at Wood’s last night. The play is especially interesting at this moment when so much misery exists among the poorer classes, The character of the piece is too well known to need any critical Notice. The cast is in many rdles strong and there 1s a level merit in the representation which recom- mends it to @ not very exacting audience, T. W. Keene fills acceptably the rdle of Badger. He isa little too generons, however, 10 the distribution of Kicks, aud we were in no wise surprised to see him aupesr in the second act with his boots worn out, This defect vulgarizes a rather forcible ren- dition of the rowdy adventurer, Miss Grainger’s Lucy Fairweather is a quiet and effective piece of acting, which would do credit to a company of higher pretensions. The way in which “Tne Streets of New York” ts put on the stage is ver; creditable to the management of the house, an the piece will, no doubt, draw Esa houses during the week, when it will be withdrawn. An ollo per- formance between the acts gave evident delight to the audience, especially Mr. Davis’ puppets. “Little Sunshin: Theatre, Brooklyn. At this theatre Miss Lillian Conway made her début some time ago, and then gave promise of reaching excellence in her profession. Last even- ing the young lady reappeared tn a play called “Livtle Sunshine.” The title is light enough, and very suggestive of lack of weight. The drama ia of the sensational order, and its characters are very old to both story readers and theatregoers. For its scenes, “Under the Gus- light,” has been more extensively levied upon than any other play. No novelist or playwright cap claim & monopoly of the stolen child, the abandonea villians who abducted her, and who used her \virtae «88 Lae® shield of their iniquities, or of the bereaved parent who traverses the earth in the search Jor his child and his and her enemies. Mr. Bartley Campbell, the author of “Little Sunshine,” has laid his claim te these, and why not? The charac- ter of Lille Davis is no doubt meant by its present adapfor to be extremely lovable, but its innocence and freshness are made vehicles for such old and at Mrs. Conway’s ineffective attacks on society’s ways that very few can help laughi at the naive damsel. in the art of Lillie’s lover the author violates dramatic virtue. In this alone is he original, and when he makes Emmet take the money with which to work out his tor- tune be shows such good sense as the audience must always applaud, Taken altogether the pi: of “Little Sunshine” is completely sensationa and, almost in all of its parts, absurd. Mrs. Con- Way ought to have care for the cultivation of her dauguter’s talent, but the selection of such a play for her is no evidence that she has. Musical and Dramatic Notes. John #£. Owens will resume his engagements shortly, having guite recovered. The London newspapers are busy deprecating political caricatures on the stage. Mr. and Mrs. Scott-Siddons have returned to their old quarters at the Clarendon Hotel. The Neapolitan cholera scare having subsided, opera at the great San Carlo 1s, it seems, again possible with the aid of 300,000 francs from the municipality. Dr. Hans von Btlow, the pianist, after successfal concert giving in London, departed on a visit to his friend the Duke of Saxe-Horn Meiningen. He will shortly make a tour of Russia. The London Christmas pantomimes revive the old, old nursery stories, There is not a novelty among them. Dramatic invention seems to have died outthere, even in pantomime. It is said that the Royal Dramatic College (Eng- land) has been just enriched by £1,000, generously given them by an anonymous donor, who before endowed the charity with a similar sum. The Budget Commission of the French National Assembly proposes to open @ credit of 609,258 francs for the provisional fitting of the new opera house. A further credit of 300,000 franca will pro- vide the costumes, musical instruments, &c. The Strakosch Opera Company closed their Cin- cinnati season on Saturday to a $4,000 house, the opera being “Il Trovatore.” A local critic says that ‘lt was the most complete season of Italian sper ip the musical experience of the comma- Bitty.) or Tete “John Bull was announced to be played at the Gaiety Theatre, London, during the Christmas week, with Phelps, Charles Mathews, J. L, Toole, Herman Vezin and Lionel Brough in the cast. This male cast could scarcely be strengthened in London. The oldest member of the musical press in Lon- don, Professor Elia, attained the ripe age of three- Score and eleven a fortnight since. Of the mem- bers of the opera band of 48, in 1822, three only survive and are now in London—viz., Puzzi, Ander- son and Ella, Mr. John Jack and Miss Annie Firmin began an engagement at the Park Theatre last night. The play was John Brougham’s “John Garth.” It was extremely well played, though at times Mr. Jack’s manner was 80 stagy aod unnatural as to be dis- comforting to his auditors. Some tears of joy are shed by an English musical journal over the fact that a certain troupe of adapted opéra boufe artists will not be able to sail for this country in the present month. If they can be detained in merrie England until next January we shall joyfully weep with the English journal “tear for tear.’’ An omateur dramatic entertainment will be given on behalf of the Ladies’ Benevolent Society on Thursday next in the parlors of Mrs. Morrison’s residence, No, 38 West Twenty-elghth street. Sev- eral talented amateurs, including Mrs. Etta Manning, will appear. The pieces selected are “The Happy Pair” and ‘The Little Treasure.” The London Orchestra says of Sardou’s new anti- republican piece, “Les Merveilleuses,” that it fis “a bright, dressy ‘spectacle’ of the ‘Mme, Angot’ period, with scanty drapery for the women and a good deal of bustie permeating it.’ Tne scene is laid in Paris in the time of the Directory. It is meant to satirize “shoddy” patriotism, and may possibly be in course of adaptation for America. The new tenor, M, Devilliers, who bas made his début at the Italian Opera House in Paris as Alfredo, in Signor Verdi’s “Traviata,” is admitted on all hands to have a fine voice, bat one which will require careful cultivation. Asan actor, too, he has everything to learn; but what surprise can be felt at his defects? Two years since he was working as a cooper at Boulogne-sur-Mer, and was pickea up by @ professor of singing, Signor Rubini, who has instructed bim in his scales and in the Italian language.

HORRIBLE MURDER. aaa A Boy Kills His Stepfather and Chops His Boay, with an Axe—Terrible Con- sequences of Youthtal Depravity from Drink. SALAMANCA, N. Y., Jan, 5, 1873, Last Sunday might, about eleven o'clock, the ttle village of Strambury was thrown into a terri- ble state of excitement over the report of s brutal | murder which had just been committed tn its midst, and which, on investigation, proved to be too true. CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE. An old citizen named Caleb Omans had been suddenly smitten down and murdered with an axe im the hands of his stepson, a lad of only a little over 16 years of age, named William Boorn. It seems that the boy wished to attend a dance in the evening, and he being under the influence of liquor his stepfather thought he was not in a fit shal fo Ly the : 7 ym he coujd pot £0; and sha) ahs notion Vitel took hold of him ana told him he would take him to bed. The boy did not think so, and struck him With hts fistseveral times. Mr. George Coleman, a friend of the family, being present on a visit, heard Tals stephather tet ‘ht fantastic toe. and accordingly to}d -}~ the quarrel. He then went to some of the neigh- bors 10 fetch the woman folks home. On his return, in about 10 minutes after, a most horrible and REVOLTING SIGHT met his gaze. Near the house he found the blood soaked corpse of Mr. Omans, his head nearly severed from the body, and cat and bruised about the shoulders and arms in a fearful manner. It seems that in Mr. Coleman's absence Omans told the boy to go to ved again, On his refusing to do 80, he seized the boy by tle throat and put bim out doors. As he went out young Boorn grasped an axe and struck his stepfather several times, inflict ing wounds which probably killed him instantly, Boorn then went in the house, put on his coat and Vest, took ab sxe, and went out and chopped bim tm the manner in which he was found. On Cole- man’s appearance Boorn threw his axe and fell backward, as though he had received serious in- juries; but this was only feigned, as it afterwards proved that there was not a single scratch on him, showing that there had not been any attempt on the part of the stepfather to injure his stepson. OFFICERS immediately arrested Boorn, who evinced no sor- row for the terrible deed he had committed. On the contrary, he said he ‘was glad the old man ‘was dead, and would like to have a chance to kill him in.” The boy has always maiptained a high standing in society, as being unusually steady and intelligent, until recently, when he has taken to rinking. AN INQUEST was beld this morning and a verdi+t of wilful and malicious murder was rendered. The body of the deceased wili be buried to-morrow. Immense numbers of people are flocking to the scene of the horrible murder and all are greatly excited over the matter. THE MURDER OF DANIEL LYNCH. PrrrsBour@, Pa., Jan. 5, 1874. A brutal murder was committed in Elizabeth borough on Saturday nigh. A large crowd, prin- cipally miners, gathered at the drinking house of Edward Maily. About ten o’clock a fight occurred and a young man named Daniel Lynch went in to watch the encounter. Patrick Slavin drew a re volver and firea at Lynch, the vali entering hia head and lodging in his brain, causing death about six hours afterwards, Great excitement prevatled, ‘The murderer was arrested by the borough con- stable, accompanied by a number of citizens, but was alterw: rescued by some of his friends. ‘The arresting party was assailed with sticks and stones and several shots were fired. The: consta- bie was seriously injured and two or three citizens badly bruised. One of the assaulting party was also shot, out not seriously injured. Slavin ig still at large. OUBAN PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5, 1874. ‘The annual meeting of the Cuban Patriotic As- sociation was held here to-day. M. A. Montejo was elected President, The annual report showed the membershtp to have largely increased and the re- ceipts to have been greater than in any former Veni also that a large amount of Cuban bonds ave been disposed of.
