r Yhe city to the Park, and none can be selected for the purpose so desirable in every respect es Fifth avenue. It is yet possible for the Legislature to give us both a street cleaning commission and a law authorizing the repav- ing and future care of Fifth avenue by the Park Commissioners. But if it be too late in ‘the session to hope for the larger measure of reform, we may at least ask of our legislators such action as we suggest in regard to Fifth avenue, so that the finest avenue south of ‘Central Park may no longer remain a dis- grace to the city, and a danger and annoy- ‘ance to the citizens who use it as a drive. Amnesty.—Now and then we observe an especially small event in Congress. The press zeports do not record it because the re- porters, who havea sense of obvious fitness 0 faras news is concerned, know what to omit. The other day, for instance, Mr. Bromberg, of Alabama, offered the petition of Raphael Semmes, well known as the com- mander of the Confederate privateer, the Alabama, asking for pardon. In his petition Semmes averred that he went with the South in the war; that since the war he had re- sumed his relations of loyalty; that he de- sires “prompt and entire oblivion,’ ex- cept ‘‘as far as history may deal with the subject.” But the House would not grant the petition. Mr. Merriam, Mr. Smart, and Mr, Hawley, of Illinois, were prominent in their objections, Mr. Hale thinking Semmes could wait as long as the claimants under the Geneva awards have waited. So Semmes remains un- | pardoned, although he was no more of a rebel than hundreds of thousands who have re- ceived amnesty. Why cannot we have a general, genuine, ungrudged amnesty? Itis nine years since the war closed, and we are coming rapidly upon the hundredth anniver- sary of our national life. Let us have a par- don for everybody—for Semmes, for Jefferson Davis and all. Moprz ror THz Parry Jovgnats.—There may ‘ve hope even for the improvement of our own party press tone of warfare when we read the leaders in the good old times of the English journals and compare them with the calm and measured courtesy of the present London mewspapers. Here we note in Albany Fon- blanque’s life a sentence or two from a leader assailipg Peel :—‘‘Peel isa man of all prin- ciples, or an all-principled man. He has had all in his turn, and made the profit of chang- ing them as opportunity has offered.”’ ‘Ho is never without them; he has always some on hand; but it is by the change of them that his political fortunes are made.’’ It was customary also in those pure and placid days to call Macaulay ‘‘Babble-Tongue,”’ as a dig- nified paraphrase of his name, Babington. ‘But we are all improving! AMUSEMENTS. na A ee Italian Opera—Don Giovanni. Mozart's che¢d’ceuvre was very creditably per- formed last night at the Academy of Music. | The great feature of the opera, however, was the | inimitable Zeritna of Mme. Pauline Lucca, one of | the very best of her operatic impersonations. Del | Puente was a tolerabie representative of the gay libertine, and: Signor Vizzani did fairly as Don Ottavio. The Leporello o1 Nannetti showed that that very estimavie artist was entirely out of his line, and Signor Scolara was un admirabie Masetto. “Don Giovanni” is not an opera that is likely to gain applause at the present day. “Lohengrin” ‘Will be repeated to-night. Theatre Comique. The entertainment offered by Harrigan and Hart at the Theatre Comique 1s irresistibly funny. It delights the crowded audiences that nightly throng the house, and certainly the person who could refrain from laughing at their excentricities and comicalities would be grave, indeed. Two phenomenally clever boys—the Carrolls—though hot much bigger than a mun’s hand, have fun ; enough in them to win the hearty applause of the audience.

Hint at a Challenge Amidst Un- usual Excitement. [HEBALD CABLE DESPATCH FROM LONDON.] Lonpow, April 24, 1874. In the House of Commons to-night Mr. P. B. Smollett, member for Cambridge, a de- scendant of the great writer of the same name, moved a vote of Parliamentary censure on Mr. Gladstone for the act of dissolution of the Parliament in the month of February last. Mr. Gladstone replied in a crushing speech, ridiculing the motion and vindicating fully the late government. The motion was negatived without a di- vision. THE DEBATE. Immediately after the assemblage of the House of Commons Mr. Smollett moved that ‘the suddenness of the late dissolution of Parliament is desetving of the censure of the House.” He characterized the act as a coup @ état by which the last government sought, unconstitutionally, to retain power. He de- clared that Mr. Gladstone had resorted to a strategem which was ungenerous to his friends, insolent to his opponents and barely honest to the nation. Mr. Whalley seconded the motion. Mr. Gladstone stigmatized the assertion that the dissolution was secretly planned as ‘‘un- true, absurd and impossible.’’ He challenged ® repetition of the word ‘trickster’ which had been applied to him, and upon the re- fusal of Mr. Smollett to repeat it he charged him with lack of decency and manliness. He defended the act of dissolution, which he de- clared would have'been more inconvenient had it been postponed. On concluding his speech Mr. Gladstone left the House. EXCITEMENT. Much excitement was manifested during and at the close of the debate. The Liberal Party Reinforced in Par- liament. Lonpow, April 25—5 A. M, Messrs.
