THE PUBLIC PRESS. The Gaceta says the publication of the Juan Palomo (newspaper) has been suspended only during one month. AMUSEMENTS. Italian Opera—Benefit of Mlle. Di Murska. Mile. Tima di Murska had her frst benefit in America at the Academy last night, repeating her marvellous impersonation of Dinorah in “Le Par- don de Ploermel.”” Whatever may have been the effect of her recent illness in other respects, it cer- tainly left her voice as brilliant, sparkling and magnetic a8 ever, and there, was’ more fire, more passion and more wild gaiety in her portraiture of the demented and deserted bride of Ploermel than even at its first performance. The central point, of course, was the famous “Shadow Song,’’ and sne sang its giit- tering measures with a finish and effect that literally brought down the house and numerous floral tributes, The unerring accuracy and perfect ease of her vocal method, the faultless taste of the florid ornaments with which she occastonally decks @ theme, the mirror-like intelligence of her phras- ing and the peculiar timbre of her exquisite voice, cannot be too highly praised. The imitation of the echo in the “Shadow Song,” the passages scintillating like diamonds, and the un- derlying sentiment reminded one at times of a “Pluie des Perles’” beneath the fingers of some inspired pianist, or, again, the melo dious warbling of some teathered songster, Of the rest of the company it ts unnecessary to speak, with the exception of Signor Verati, who acted and sang the r0le of Correntino th com- mendably, Mile. Di Murska appears on Frid: evening in her great role, Astraflammente, in ‘ Fiauto Magico,” Miss Pauline Canissa ee ae the role o1 Pamina. On Saturday a farewell mati+ nee of “Linda” will be given. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Aimée and troupe are in Boston. Gilmore's Bana will play to-night at the Twenty- second Regiment armory. Mile. Di Murska is engaged for the next Philnar- monic concert, and also the next Sunday concert at the Grand Opera House. Dumas’ new play of “Monsieur Alphonse” was received last night, on its second represen- tation at Daly’s theatre, with even more favor than the public accorded to it on the traditional first night. The interest. of the comedy-drama centres in the absorbingly in- veresting scenes of maternal and filial tenderness between Miss Ada Dyas as Madame Montaglin and little Bijou Heron as her daughter. To the former the new role of young mother awards admirable opportunities for portraying that refined charm of manner and instinctive ten- derness which evidently are her personal charac- teristics, as well as for exhibiting her rare qualities as an emotional actreas of the natural and evenly finished French school to which so few English or American actresses belong. In one scene Miss Ada Dyas is a8 remarkable for her inspi rations «and gestures of restrained rief a8. in others ior her impuisive and eartrending outbursts. ‘The and scenes between Matilda Heron's child and Miss Ada Dyas will evidently become as se notable as jas Witpessed in any ow metropolitan 6 yelrs, PSP UR me moe ts ee ee or pew orery satuswwiis, MEXICO.

Another Senatorial Ballot Without Re- sult—The Twenty-ninth Vote—Report of the Committee of Compromise—The Dawes Men Will Not Surrender. Boston, April 15, 1874. This has been @ comparatively quiet day on Beacon Hill, the scene of the Senatorial contest, atter the excitement caused by the six ballots of Tuesday. Nevertheless there was a large at- tendance of spectators and lobbyists, who were watching the proceedings. At noon the Conven- tion met to enter upon the twenty-ninth ballot, which was as jollows:— Whole number of vote: Necessary to a choice. Henry L. Dawes... Rockwood Hoar B, R, Curtis.....

Whittier. seevee 1 The six ballots of yesterday led many to predict that to-day would most cercainly develop some- thing definite; with that expectation the poli- ticlans were in full force at the State House, but, instead of matters taking any decisive course, the votes have again swung back tothe promioent candidates, and the situation, with to-day’s single ballot, stands about the same as all through the contest. There have been meetings of commit- tees of the Hoar and Dawes iactions to consider the report of the committee which was in cont ence with the iriends of each of these candidat and at the meeting of the iriends of Mr. Dawes this morning at the State House the iollowing answer was adopted as the reply of the Dawes men to the communication submitted to them yesterday by a committee of the supporters of Judge Hoar :— Stare Hovsmy Bos 1 7 rate Hou: sTON, April 4.

Meeting of Excise Commissioners of the State of New York at Syracuse. SYRACUSE, April 15, 1874. In response to @ call a meeting of the Excise Commissioners of the cities of this State was held at the Vanderbilt House, in this city, to-day. About ® dozen cities were represented, the {ull Board of New York city being present. D, D. T. Marshall, of New York, was chosen Presi- dent and M. H. Northrap, of Syracuse, Secretary. The object of the meeting, in part, was to har- monize action and particularly the mooted inter- retations of the excise laws. The following reso- lution, introduced by Mr. Voornees, of New York, Was unanimously adopted:— Whereas, By recent judicial decisions of the Courts of this State, Boards of Excise in cities have, by virtue of an enactment of the State Legislazure of 1873, been deprived of the pewer to prosecute for, the ctvil penalties imposed v xcise laws tor violations thereot ; therefore, be it attention of the members of the ae in aot, Le LA nd ey mi make such provision may "yee to them Yudisious and par thi in relation thereto as called for by the exigencies of the case.

WASHINGTON, April 15, 1874. Probable Action of the President on the Senate Financial Bill—Will Its Opera- tion Convulse the Country and Cause Panic? ‘The motion of Mr. Maynard in the House yester- day to lay the motion on the table to reconsider the vote by which the House passed the Senate Finance bill was carried. The Speaker promptly signed the bill and it was returned to the Senate, ‘This atternoon it was duly enrolled, and the parch- ment having received the signatures of Senator Carpenter, as President pro tempore of the Senate, and of James G. Blaine, as Speaker of the House, will to-morrow be examined by Senator Clayton on behalf of the Senate and Congressman Pendleton on the part of the House, and by them delivered into the custody of the President. It may remain in his possession until Monday, the 27th inst., when, if it is not signed or vetoed, it will become a law. The influences at work to induce the President to veto the Senate bill are counteracted by the friends of the measure. The objection so sert- ously urged that it inflates the legal tenders has no weight whatever with the President, His immediate Qends, with whom he has canvassed the criticisms of the leading journals ofthe country on this point, aay that to charge Congress with passing an inflation measure in Oxing the volume of legal tenders at $400,- 000,000, 18 equally to charge this aamin- istration with being im favor of inflation im violation of the sacred pledges of the repub- lican party, as set forth in the platiorm. adopted at the last national convention, For if, they say, the President is opposed to inflation, he could have insisted upon the same construction of existing laws regarding the amount of legal tenders which might be put out, as is given by Senator Sherman and other prominent repubit- cans. Notonly has the President not favored the limitation of $356,000,000, but at nis own sugges- tion, and with his unqualified approval, the large currency balance accumulated in the Treasury at the time when tne panic broke out in September last, was immediately put. out in purchasing bonds, thus putting the Secretary of the Treasury in a position where the good credit of the government com- pelled recourse to the go called Treasury reserve, to meet the current expenditures of the government. So, it is claimed vhe President cannot consistently veto the Senate bill on the ground that it inflates legal tenders, because existing laws unrepealed by the Senate bill would still give the Secretary of the Treasury as good right to issue the remainder of the $44,000,000 reserves as it gave to issue $26,000,000 already out, It will be remembered that in the President's last message he suggested the passage of an act giving the Executive authority to veto @ portion of a bill, and so positive is the Presideat on this point that, ifin the bill presented to him it should appear, in his judgment, that the second section is unwise, he would, had he the authority askedg™pprove of the first section and veto the second. These views are not put forth as indicat- ing what the President wishes might have been done, but in vindication ot what has already been done. The serious question now under advisement, and one which fhe President 18 seeking information about irom those in whose judgment, outside of poll- tics, he has great confidence, is whether the latter portion of the second section, disturbing the re- serves now held in the redemption cities, prin- cipally New York, will not, by tts immediate en- forcement, completely unsettle the business of the country. The law makes no provision for gradual withdrawal of the bank reserves to the limit prescribed in the act, but is mandatory and imme- diate. The Comptroller of Currency so construes it, and it would be his duty on receiving a certi- fled copy of the law to immeaiately notity every Dational banking association of the repeal of so much 01 the existing act as provides for the de- posit of three-fifths of the reserve in the cities named in the Currency act for the redemp- tion of their notes, and that m compliance with the act their reserves in these cities must be reduced within thirty days to the amount con- vemplated in the new law. The extent o! derange- ment of existing loans on calla, it is claimed, would convulse the country, and its effect upon business ultimately be.as serious as that produced by the panic last fall. [t 1s satisfactory in- formation on this point, which the President must have before his signature willbe appended to the bill. It has been represented to him that if this withdrawal should extend over the period of sixty or ninety days it would not be so objectiona- able. There are now over $50,000,000 of legal tenders on deposit in the Sub-Treasury in New York, which could be drawn out without delay. The opportunity, therefore, for providing the legal tender reserve of the coun- try yanks 1s at hand, and further more, with this redundancy lessened by the operation of the Senate bill, tue value of the United State: notes Would be greatly appreciated for business pur- poses. This is the status on the Finance bill to- night. As already stated the tate of the Senate bill depends upon the convictions of the President, formed on representations oi advisers, indepen- dent of party motives. No veto can be hoped for on the ground that it 18 an inflation measure. The possibility of one rests on the hypothesis of too sudden contraction, The Vote on the P: Finance Bill.

Startling Result of the Baxter-Brooks Contest in Arkansas. Governor Baxter Served with a Writ of Ouster. BROOKS’ FORCIBLE POSSESSION. Tumbling the Executive Into the Street and Breaking Into Armories. —_-—____ BLOODSHED THREATENED. Lrrriy Roox, Ark., April 15—9 P. M. In the case of Brooks vs, Baxter in the Nis! Prius Oourt of the Little Rock circuit, brought last summer, stating that Baxter was a usurper, Cir- cuit Judge Whylock, at ten o'clock this morning, overruled the demurrer of plaintiff as to jurisdiction and tasued a writ of ouster, ‘This occurred in the absence of Governor Baxter’s counsel. Chief Justice McClure immediately administered the oath of office to Brooks, and soon after Sherif Oliver served a writ on Governor Baxter at the executive office. He was ac- companied by Brooks and an armed guard, Brooks demanded possession of the office, was refused and then declared himself in forcible possession. Brooks’ friends had possessed themselves of the Capitol, and had broken into the State Armory and seized guns and ordnance. The Governor's oMice and approaches were filled with armed men, some of whom were negroes. BAXTER APPEALS TO THE PRESIDENT. Baxter telegraphed to the President of the United States, ad said that he had been put om by force. Brooks sent word to say he could not see your correspondent yet. The Capitol halis are filled with excited groups, Governor Baxter, on leaving the State House, went to the Anthony House and held a consulta- tion with his friends and counsel, then drove to St. John’s College, on the outskirts of the city. Brooks’ party are jubilant and defiant, It ts asserted that the coup d’¢tat was pianned by Messrs, Clayton and Dorsey, when here at Easter, after failing to agree with Governor Baxter regarding the management of the fall elections. Brooks has revoked all Baxter's militta appoint- ments, commissioned B. F. Catterson Adjutant General and Jack Brooker Major General. l arrived at Baxter’s headquarters, in St. John’s College, at three o'clock. The entrance was guarded. Baxter said to your correspondent that he would act vigorously; that he had plenty of arms at his disposal at the United States arsenal. Baxter ts organizing the militia, Robert Newton will be appointed General. There will probably be bloodshed if the govern- ment allows them to fight it out. The State House and grounds are well guarded to-night, over 800 men being under arms, including the troops in the legislative halls. There 1s great excitement here, and people from the country are arriving en masse, An attack on the State House by the St. John’s College troops is hourly expected. Baxter Concentrating His Troops for an Attack. Litie Roox, Ark,, April 15—10 P. M. Baxter's troops are concentrating.

How the Old Political Sore Was Opened—McClure’s Readiness to Assist Brooks—Baxter’s Despatch to President Grant. Lirt.e Rock, Ark., April 15, 1874. Joseph Brooks, who claims to have been elected Governor in 1872, took the oath of office about eleven o'clock this morning before Chief Justice McClure, and within five minutes from that time took forcible possession of the Governor's office and ejected Governor Baxter. THE OLD POLITICAL SORE. About one year ago Brooks commenced suit in the Circuit Circuit Court of Pulaski county for the fice of Governor, and about the same time the Attorney General commenced suit against Governor Baxter by quo warranto in the Supreme Court. The latter Court rendered @ decision that the courts of the State had no power over @ contested election for the office of governor, and it was generally regarded that the matter was settled so far as the courts were concerned. The Legislature in 1873 opened the returns and declared that Mr. Baxter was elected. Nothing more was thought of the matter particularly until a few days ago, when the attor- neys of Governor Baxter desired that thé case in the Circuit Court be taken up on demurrer with the object of disposing of the same.
