Captain Tylor’s report will be issued immodl- atelr. System—Israclite Irritation—Inde- pendent Official Payments. LONDON, Oct. 6, 1874. A Bucharest letter in the Allgemeine Zeitung criticises the American system of appointing con- suis whose salaried are deirayed from private sources. The writer Says that in 1866 the Hungarian emigrants in New York inducea the Washington government to appoint one of their number to a consular office, they paying his salary in order to avoid a charge on the United States Treasury, when the relations between the two countries justified no such outlay, The Hungarians called this oMcer “our consul.” But when Hungary and Austria be- came reconciled this officer became superfluous, and the post will probably be abandoned. The Jews of New York obtained Mr. Petxotto’s appointment, they paying his salary; and an ar- ticle in a Jewish paper published in New York, representing him as the only protector of the per- secuted Jews of Roumania, bas produced much tr- ritation at Bucbarest. The Roumanian govern- ment claims to have done all that. was possible to protect and improve the position of the Jews, and the success of its efforts is declared to be manifest in the cessation of the exodus of the Israelites, and in their steady immigration to Koumania from Austria and Russia. p THE ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION.

The latest official bulletin of the condition of the Nile says:— The news from the provinces is encouraging. The outflow from the irrigating basins of Upper Egypt caused the rise in the iower part of the river; but the water has reached its maximum. The banks are constantly watched, The damage to crops is inconsiderable. COTTON LANDS FLOODED. At Cairo the only damage done was by the inun- dation of 2,000 acres of cotton lands. The banks of the river were still two metres above the sur- face of the water. A slight raptare near the old town of Catro was repaired in two hours, INDIA. Ca.ourra, Oct. 6, 1874, Advices from the sections of the country where the amine prevailed state that 600,000 natives are yet supported by the government relief works.

Fears of More Bloodshed at Moosic, Pa.— The Strikers and the Company ‘ Equally Determined to Conquer—Na- tional Jealousy Cropping Out. WILKESBABRE, Pa., Oct. 6, 1874. Moosic, the scene of the difficulty between the Irish and Welsh miners, was comparatively quiet to-day. Early this morning the strikers, rein- forced by friends trom surrounding places, until the number of disaffected reached upwaras of 200, assembled at the heading, or opening, of the mine and waited for the appearance of the men who were disposed to goto work. In the absence of sufficient force to overcome the threatening re- sistance it was deemed inexpedient to make an effort to enter the mine, and the strikers re- mained masters of the situation. They loitered about the heading until noon, when seeing no de- monstration to operate the mine, about filty of them marcned down to the railroad station, which 1s about the centre of the settlement, while their companions disappeared in the surrounding woods. This afternoon a notice was posted on a tree in front of the Post Office to the effect that WORK WILL BE RESUMED to-morrow (Wednesday) morning. The company is determind to set to work the men who are well disposed and run the mine according to their own ideas. The discontented miners seem equally resolute in their demonstrations to prevent them from going intothe colliery unless their demand for the discharge of the mine boss, Mr. Davis, 13 complied with, . From the spirit developed to-day 13 seems cer- tain that a. sancuinary contest will take place to- morrow morning. The men are all armed and desperate, and most serious consequences may be anticipated when the opposing factions come into Collision. 118 proper to state that the alfiiculty 1s purely local in its character and has been | brought about by ‘the supposed partiality of the | mine boss. ‘he Irish miners complain that he has made discriminations in the distribution of work | lavoring his countrymen, and a very BITTER NATIONAL JEALOUSY nas been created by the charges of favoritism. It is feared that this feeling has extended to the other mines, and that to-morrow there will be a large number of men in Moosic, who have no real interest in the local quarrel, but will be there to fight upon a question of nationality alone, Sherif Whitaker has been duly advised of the movements, and will be upon the ground to-mor- row morning with a strong posse. The apprehen- sion is that he will not arrive in time to- prevent a conflict between the strikers and the men dis- posed to work, which is most likely to occur about seven o’clock in the morning. If the Sheriff waits for a reguiar train there will be plenty of time fora warm skirmish, and @ battle may be lost and won. Four of the miners who tried to go to work yes- terday were terribly beaten by the malcontents, No outrages have been committed to-day, for want of material. ANOTHER OFFICIAL WEDDING | Naval and Army Officers Present at a Brilliant Ceremony in Newport. Newport, R. 1, Oct. 6, 1874. Old Trinity church this afternoon was the scene of @ brilliant wedding, at which army and navy | ofMciais were present in fuil uniform, The bride was Miss Mary F. Fleming, niece of Captain Simp- gon, United States Navy, commandant o1 the Tor- pedo station here, and the bridegroom was Lieu- tenant E. R. Hills, Adjutant of the Fitth artillery, Btatioped at Fort Adams. Lieutenant C. R, Bur- nett, of the Fifth artillery, acted as groomsman, and Miss Julia Fleming, sister of the bride, as bridesmaia. The other groomsmen were Lieuten- ' ant Porter, son of Admiral Porter, and Lieu- tenants Brown, Logan, Colby and Hanford, of the navy. The church, which was handsomely deco- Tated, was filled to Its utmost capacity, and among the invited guests were the oilicers of the United States gunboat Intrepid, now in this harbor, and General’ Hunt and officers trom the fort, and all the officers connected with the Torpede station. Tne landing stage at the Torpedo station and the United States gunboat Intrepid were gayly trimmea with flags. ‘After the ceremony a reception was held at the Commandant’s residence, at the Torpedo station, at which were present a large number of invited guests, The Fifth artiliery band furnished the music, and steam launches were kept constantly plying between the isiand and the city. ‘ne happy couple left to-night tor New York, on their bridal tours AMUSEMENTS.

One of H. J. Byron’s best comedies was selected with a view of introducing to the American public Mr. H. English stage. ‘the reception accorded to the new suitor for public patronage was most flattering, and Mr. Montague may look on himself as one of the accepted. His manner 1s self- contained and polished with a certain audacity, which secures the attention and favor of the audi- ence. On bis entr’e there was visible a slight ner- vousbess, which soon wore Off and left him with his easy, seli-posserssed air, quite at home with the American public. Mr. Montague is not @ great actor but he is a good one. Gentlemanly and unobtrusive, he never shocks us by libellous exhibitions of fast manners and vulgar breeding 80 often presented on the stage as pictures of life in elegant society. If he had no other merit than this we could wel- come him witn pleasure to our stage as a desirable acquisition; but, in addition, he brings carelul training §=and respectaple dramatic power. The comedy in which he made his début on the American stage ‘was written specially for bim by H. J. Byron and is calculated to bring out the exceilences of his Siyle. It 18 a clever and brilliantly written play, but shows strong traces of the bungling work arrangement of the dialogue. some of the scenes advance and retire by wings almost with military precision. delivering their fire and then retiring on their supports, wno advance to cover the retreat, fre and retire, and so on. This peculiarity gives an air of formality to some of the scenes which takes from the interest of a dialogue not wanting in sparkling qualities. The plot 18 novel, and though all the inciaents are perfectly pure, the interest 1s well maintained througa the frst and second acts. As much can- not be said for the third, which ts a jittle prosy; the real climax of the play being reached when the curtain coes down on the secondact, The plot is far fetched and impropabie, but nas been worked out with considerable skill. In the opening scene @ charming young tady of the aristocratic name of Smith—Miss Jettreys Lewis—is on a visit at @ country entieman well advanced in years, who begins to tire oi his bachelornood, Miss Fanny Smith is a delightiul creature, full of lie and spirits, who wins not alone the heart of the old genticman, but turns the head of bis nephew, Ernst, who ts in love witn Mervyn’s niece Emily—Miss Dora Goldthwaite— gad secures for herself the envy and dislike of two women, who tind themselves neglected for the new divinity. At this stage Tom Gilroy, a dashing young barrister -—Mr. Montague—also a nephew to Mervyn, appears on the scene and commits the same havoc on the ladies’ hearts as Fanny Smith had done with the men’s. The antique lover introduces the new comer to the object of his adoration, and the result 1s a@ double surprise. The young lawyer discovers tn the charming lady his own wife, from whom he has been separated for five years, be- cause having married her in the belief that sne was poor, he suddenly discovers that she is rich, The motive of separation on which hinges the action of the piece is too trivial to account for the train of incidents which the dramatist has made to pro- ceed from it. But though (his vitiates the literary value of tne play, by making generous allowance for the shallowness of modern inventions we can accept the situations springing from this accom. lished separation on their own merits, The vil- lain of the piece i8 introduced as a scrvant, who quotes all kinds of authors with an absura perversion of language. This Mugules— Mr. Beckett—by means 0/ some guilty secret, ercises Complete and tyrannical control over his master, whom he frightens toto doing just as he leases, In the last act we learn this secret, Mr. lervyn having been led into a very un- suitable alliance, which he carefully con- ceals from his friends, Muggles, in ordur to secure absolute control of lis master is urging him to marry Miss Smith, hoping that the com- mission of bigamy may render his victim abso- lutely defenceles3, ‘om Gilroy's appearance threatens to disconcert the villain’s plans, for a se- cret sympathy has apparently sprung up between sigit. He warns bis master of the danger to be apprehended from the young barrister and advises his iminediate marriage with Emly, in order to prevent his becoming an obstacle to tne uncle's matrimonial designs. Tae first and second acts are devoted to the elaboration of tbis plot; but in the meantime Gilroy and his wife have met, and, as they really love each other, become reconciled. The curtain of the second act comes down on tne discovery by the horrified honsehold of the pair locked in each other’s arms. Here the real inter- est of the piece ends, the last act being devoted to the usual distribution of poetic justice and prospective orange wreaths. The manner in which this delightful comedy has been mounted sur- passes, in (ere and good taste, even what we usually look for at this house, The settings are rich without being gaudy, und display refined taste and artistic finish. It 18 almost needicss to add that the performance was weil nigh perfect, with that imirabie bal- ance fn the distrioution of parts which is such a pissing jJeature oi this stage. Mr. John Hilbert played amorous sexagenarian with a keen relish and brought the humorous points of the character by skilful accentuation of its absurdities into the strongest relief, Mr. Gilbert's talents are so well Known and his popularity so well estabiished that 1618 something like painting the rose to praise the excellence of his method of the genuine dra- matic seuse that breathes through his impersona- tions. Mr. Beckett, too, in the role of Muzzles, had an excellent opportunity tor the display of his eccentric comedy talents, but his conception of the role is too pronounced. So long as the audience remains in ignorance of the nature of his intivence over his master toe unbounded insolence of tne produces a certain dramatic effect; but as soon as the audience ts let into the secret the Insolence of the lackey appears to be too pronounced, Miss Goidthwaite displays a Marked advance in her stage business and romises to develop fatr dramatic power. iss Jeffrys Lewis as Fanny Smith was bright, sympathetic and forcible, While Mme. Ponisi’s impersonation of the husband-hunting old maid, Priscilla Mervyn, leit nothing to be desired. Daring the performance the public gave repeated proois of their satisiaction, and it was generally agreed that the fall season lad been bappiiy and successfully inaugurated. Steinway Hall—The First Orpheon Con- cert. The Orpheon Soctety’s Free Choral Schools held their opening exercises at Stemway Hall last evening before a large and intelligent audience, which crowded that hall The exercises consisted of speeches by Mr. Abram 8S. Hewitt, Vice President of the society, who occupied the chair out of town), and by Rev. Dr. Deems; also a paper on “Choral Instruction and Choral Socie- ties,” read by Mr. Jerome Hopkins, the pianist, founder of tne “Orpheon” and its director. A programme of six pieces of plano music and songs, in which Miss Gomien, Mr, H. A. Bischof, Mr. Jerome Hopkfas, Messrs. 'Dachauer and Reiff appeared, was brilliantly renuered and gave lu satisiaction to the audience, two of Mr. Hopkins’ pieces being dificult tugues by Bach and Cherubini, Mr. Hewitt’s remarks served to explain the ooject of the Urpneon Free Schools, namely, the musical iy (ts tla of the people. He then introduced Mr. Hopkins, whose paper re- ferred to the average choral society as at present conducted. Rey, Dr. Deems then took the ecclesi- astical side of the question, and gave some pretty hard raps at the fashion abie church choirs of our city.

The opinions of Reverdy Jounson and Charles O’Coner, with the rejomder of Mr. Johnson on the Loulsiana question, have called attention to an important principle in the political govern- ment of the country, viz. :—The right of the Presi- dent to review his own acts.

He does not agree with Johnson that either Kellogg or McEnery was elected, but equivocally declares that the election in 1872 was a mockery, and that his only motive | in recognizing Kellogg was to save society in Louisiana from anarchy. He does not consider either Kellogg or McKnery the lawiully elected Gov- ernor of Louisiana. On Friday last, in conversation | with a Southern gentleman, he intimated that | this would be his position in his next message to Congress, and that he should ask that provision be made for a free and fair election at the earliest possible day, and should give emphasis to what he bad already declared, that it was time for the re- publican party to unload Louisiana, Action of the United States Marshals and Troops in Alabama. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 6, 1874, Aletterfrom one of the most prominent and Teilable citizens of Sumter county says the United | Stites marshals are very actively engaged here. | Martial law, in point of fact, exists in Sumter, | Houses are entered by United States soldiers with- out form or ceremony. Private property is taken and carried off withvut leave or license, and pri- vate citizens, against whom there is no shadow of a charge, are arrested without warrant or pro- cess of law. A few nights ago the whole body of the Demo- cratic and Conservative Convention was put | under arrest until a deputy United States | marshal saw proper to release them. on the next night a squad of federal sol- diers went into the country and entered | ® house. Not finding the owners at the house | they took into their possession guns and pistols | belonging to diferent parties.

On the next night Marshal Randolph, with sol- diers and a detective. went to the nouse of one of the most quiet and respectable citizens and sur- rounded it, When the owner got up in the morning he found that his premises | were guarded all wround. As soon as he was dressed he opened the doors, and Randolph's soldiers and detective came im. ‘The gentleman | Was ordered to cross his hands so that he could be | handcufied, lie demanded their authority tor his arrest, The United States deputy marshai signif. | cantly tapped his musket uad remarked, “nis | 18 my authority.” In anoth;, case, an old man who had started | early for tu}e own Was met by a squad of solders | and a Uniteu States marshal, who told him ne was | out too eariy, arrested and held him several hours, The marshals appear surprised to find that there 18 Do White League in the country, South Carolina’s Discord—An Imminent Conflict Between the Nash and Minort Factions Averted.

Men had veen brought into the city to control the precinct nominations of delegates to the County Convention, to be | held on tne 7th inst. The Minort party pre- | pared to resist. In the afternoon a com- pany of negro militia paraded, ostensibly to overawe the countrymen.

Had the trouble commenced no one could surmise where it might haveended, Early in the evening Governor Moses in person called upon the Richland Rifle Club (white) to ascertain if they would render as- sistance in case there was a riot amoung the colored men, which, he stated, he apprehended. The officers of that club, after consultation, ad- dressed to him the foliowing letter:— A POSSE CoMITATUS, OFFICE RICHLAND RIFLE ag COLUMBLA, S. C., Oct. 5, 1874. To His Excellency Governor F. J.
