If any proof were wanting of the popularity of ‘the classical English comedies it would be tur- nished by the crowded and brilliant sudtence as- sembled last night at this house to witness the last evening performance ot Sheridan’s delightful comedy, “The School for Scandal.” Not a seat in the auditorium was vacant, and the experiencea Play goer detected at once, by the very atmos- phere of the house, that the true pubiic were present. We have already spoken more than once in praise of the completeness and elegance with which the play is mounted and the care and learning with which each ot the parts is Tendered, By the constant sappory given by the pubite during the presentation of this play, which feems to enjoy eternal youth and freshness, the- Btrical mauagers will be encouraged to place on the boards works of the higher quality of dramatic art which do not depend on meretricious attrac- tions to win popular attention, but rather com- maca favor by their internal worth. Mr. Daly has merited the applause and encouragement of all who take an inierest in the progress of tie drama in our country by nis truly magnificent revival of “The Scnool tor scandal,” which we part from with sincere regret, To-day it will be performed tor the last time at the matinée, and a series of tableaux vivants, representing Longiellow’s beautiful poem, “The Hanging of the Crane,’’ will be put upon the stage, with Sheridan’s mock tragedy, Oritio,” and Mr. Daly’s comedy, ‘The Widows,’ in the evening. ¢ Thi Two Musical and Dramatic Notes. “Faust” this aiternoon with the Strakosch troupe.

Reynolds, of Buffalo, and Gilbert B, Perkins, of Pennsylvania, arrested Thomas Ballard, alias John Liberal Club—A Remedy Offered for the Evils. Mr, James Parton lectured last evening in ous guests of that organization. Ais remarks ous topics embraced in his discussion were treated skillully and with terse rhetoric. His audience Were in perfect agreement with the belieta he ex. pressed especially the conviction that woman should be introduced as a reiormatory power in politics. Mr, Parton said:—It is the near approach of an to be setiled which impels me to speak of this sub- Ject of “Our Scandalous Politics,’ though there is another motive tn the coming of the nation’s cen- tennial. People are agitated ail through the country over the way to properly celebrate the latier great event. On every siae suggestions are being sentin. Here the lecturer reviewed the most whimsical of these propositions, and then re- ferred to the plan of the Philadelphia exhibition, But, said he, while the Philadelphia exhibition goes OD We should have one in New York. For such @ purpose, imagine an immense enclosure situated somewhere near Harlem, in which should be exhibited a tenement house, seven stories high and forty feet wide, occupied by sixty-four Jam- flies, Some of which take boarders; a stable fitted with rosewood and black wainut and bung frouud with silver mounted harness; the South Carolina Legislature in segsion; the New York ditto; John Morrissey in bis seatin the House of Representatives; the interior of a political caucus—and thus the lecturer went on to teil wnat be thougnt would be instructive features of the exhibition he proposed. Recurring to the Centennial, Mr. Parton said that most people want to celebrate it like the embodiment of one hundred Fourths of July; and yet it is altogether problem- atical whether we bave anything to celebrate. A question like this stared Thomas Paine when he took part in the French Revolution, One year alter he carried tne American flag in their pro- cession on the Champs de Mars Paine saw the ten years later he saw Bonaparte astride of fair France, riding her to Seaan, the real culmina- tion of Sonapartism, Paine was bewildered, Like @ schoolboy who gets @ wrong re- wealth Gating from the testival on the Champs de Mars which she failed to achieve, The peas who control the Philadeiphia cele- ration should remember these lacts and tone dowa their purposes go @8 nos to cover tne Centennial with ridicule; for abroad the republi- can lustitutions of America are not considered to have passed successfully through the century’s trial, and European capitalists would ratver loan vo little European States than to the Unitea States, AMong some peo} le avroad the impression 1s that here the ruling class differs irom the governed only in betng more adroit aud audacions; and, in- deed, there does seem to be some likeness be. tween our poiiticlans and the criminal class— the former oeing the outs ana latter the of Representatives when ex-Alderman Scai nell ‘was brougut to its bar on charge of forging naturalization papers, and I saw the consideration witn wi Congressmen from this city treated that impudent old man of twenty-three. They conversed with bim, and they attended zealously to his comfort. I had a conver- sald to me, * Should have been in that Congress toyself if I’a been old enough.” Tweed responded toa reporter who asked him for “points” ior a sketch of his lite:—‘Points! 1’m on the make. You put that down, sure, I keep my eyes open for whatever comes aloug, Stick my arm down 88 Jar a8 it will go, and pull my hand oot as full as it will noid, Istick to my friends. That’s me.’ The late Jim Fisk was never certain whether he was ranuing for the Presideucy or the Peniten- tiary. He was, however, not essentially a poli- tclan, He was tne master of politicians; they did what he bade them do, For bimseli he could not tell his politicai feelings; they were lost in the fact that he was for Erie, and purpose, Mr. Parton said that he chose his illus- trations from among tue politicians of New York because scandal was more grafted on our political system than on that of any other State. Ail through the country, however, inferior men are put into office; and the tact is the result of our national system, ‘Come out West, father,” wrote @ yout ‘the meanest kind o! men get office here,” Bribing and bribe taking 1s the practice allover. Mr. Parton here detaileJ the method, as Telated to him sf & railroad official, in which-legis- lators are “aided to pay their election expenses.” But now, said he, for the remedy for ali these scan- dulous things, upon which it is very easy and even pleasant to descunt. The very basis 01 oar political | system is universal suffiage. We admit the most ignorant, most benighted men to the right of sui- Jrage, and We exclude women from it wuo are the most enlightened of human beings. Here he sketched some of the peculiar masculine persons who vote, and deciared that we have masses oi ig- norance advancing be us from every side, each item of wnich wilt readily be made on arrival here to Nave a share in our government. should realize the effect of immigration upon our government, The remedy for the evils and abuses of our poiitics, Mr. Parton thinks, is in @ hew disposition of the rignt of sul- oe whereby allcttizens, without regard to sex, suall be alowed to vote wno can read the English language understandingly and write their pal- lots. Once apply this ruie to Manhattan Island, to Chicago, to Pail pip ate to Louisiana, 10 South Carolina, Cuba and the South American republics, and there will result weil ordered, truly republi- can governments. The lecturer now went on to consider the subject of public offictals. He thought that we do not allow good men to serve us; do not make {¢ possible jor them to do s ‘ne Salaries We pay our offictals are too small. Kings can always et good servants because they will pay them we: 'e, having secured good servitors, per- mit them to die finaily in poverty. Mr. Parton gave several illustrations of tnis, among them resident Monroe, Who, he said, did not leave oc- hing him enough money to buy his cottin.

A more potent cause jor having bad servants is found in rotation. Tue reign of the scaiawag began in 1629, when General Jackson, to Fiat & petty pique toward Henry Clay, enunciated the principle of rotation and toi- lowed 1t by turning out of office 2,000 competent officiais, To fil the places of the ejected oficers the loosest practices were ‘ollowed, Appointments Were given on the most irivolous pretexts. Fiattery was @ powerlul method of gaining place from General Jackson, and it 18 known also that that President forced men out of office who failed to give him flatuery. The rule of scalawac- ery, Which was began by Jackson, has continued ever since, and if President Grant woula abolish it he would earn a greater Victury than he did at Vicksburg. POLITICAL SCANDALS ABROAD. “When,” said Mr. Parton, “the scan: politics are spoken of, it is often said ‘they do things better on the other side.’ butI am not airald to say they do not do so. In England, if every Man who has bought his way into Parlia- ment were expelled from that boay there would not be @ quorum remaining, although forty make & quorum, out of the entire 600 members. ‘The author of ‘Ginx’s Baby’ averred last sea- son that not one of his Parliamentary sesoci- ates Was even suspected of wrongdoing; but already there have been thi expelled from the House of Commons for bri ve @ careful sketch of the ltamentary elections; of the way that railroad companies “‘conciliate” members of Parliament by buying from them at large prices small treated at meetings by the rabble opposed to them, “It is comfortahle,” said he, “to be able to say in response to charges, ‘You're another,’ and for this Feason the aeiects of other political sys- d. tlon of @ progr great danger, and perform one most trying task Since the beginning of our nation’s Itie tour gen- erations of men have lived, and to each genera- tion was igned its special duty.
