SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 1, 1874. Speaker Blaine addressed a large audience of fepublicans at the City Hall last night, urging the claims of the repub‘ican party on the ground that the democrats do not heartily support the con- stitutional amendments, Mr. Blaine having been reported as saying in a speech at Worcester that ‘there has never been any convention of the democratic party—na- Honal, State, county or district—a single declara- von agrecing to abide by that (fourteenth) mmendiment,” the Springfeld Lepudlican o1 yes- yerday cailed his attention to the iact that the (ast Democratic National Convention, by a vote of 662 to i0, adopted a platform containing this plank :— We pledge ourselves to maintain the Union of these States, emancipation and enfranchisement, and to op- pose any reopening of the quesilons settled by the thir teenth, tourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. Mr. Blaine sald with reference to this:—“I have | said that no democratic convention that was @ true exponent of the party and speaking its spirit Ras, by a single declaration, agreed to stand by the fourteeuth amendment. I am reminded by the Springfleid Repuolican that the Baltimore Convention of 1872 did so, {say that that onven- ion was nol an exponeat of the democratic party at ali. They agreed to take Mr. Greeley, the bominee of the Cincinnati Convention, on his own eonlession of taith. He was committed to the Support of that amendment. and they took him as & man takes a farm, with the encumbrances. He Was disastrously defeated, and the moment the Greeley restraint was taken off they wen! back to their old principles. I repeat that no democratic Convention, pure and simple has expressed an ine tention to abide by these amendments,” BOSTON AND THE OENYENNIAL. | | Audorsoment by the “Hub” of the PI.

The number to be reported to Con- gress next winier will not be so large as hereto- fore. Many of the claimants placed their respect- tive claims at very high figures, such as the facts presented did not justify, and thereiore there was an extensive reduction by the Commissioners, As | instances, one man claimed $15,000 and was cut down to $6,800, and another wno claimed $8,000 received only $168. These claims, it will be recol- lected, arise from seizures and destruction of property owned by Union men in the Southern States, The question of loyalty is an essential ele- Mens in their allowance.

The report of General Humphreys, obtef of the corps of army engineers, has been completed, It is elaborate, and minutely details the condition of the works under his charge and gives estimates of the amount necessary to complete those now in progress. It is with Congress, however, to deter- mine how far the works shall be extended during the next fiscal year. The estimates afford no certainty of the amounts which will be appropri- ated, as Congress appropriated less than $2,000,000 for fortifications for the fiscal year ending with June last, the estimates being $3,600,000; and for improvement of rivers and harbors for the same period $5,633,000, the estimates being $15,694,000. An appropriation of $400,000 was asked for con- | tinuing the improvement and removing obstruoc- | tions in the East River and Heli Gate, New York, but the amount voted was $225,000.

Taken asa whole it is by far the best performance of the kind that we Temember to have seen in the city. Mr. Maccabe possesses most astonishing powers of ventriloquism, united with a factlity all the more amusing and effective. As an Irisn- man or @ Frenchman, a Lancashireman or a Cockney fop, a mincing young lady or a burly Ger- man, he 1s equally perfect, and his voice passes from tho one character to the other without Nsten induces the hearer almost to persuade himself that the persons represented must ac- tually be present and talking in their natural tones, This, however, is merely the groundwork | on which Mr. Maccabe’s entertainment is based. | The performance itself throughout ts easy, grace- dul and in good taste. There is nothing of the ating the London street ballad singer, with his chronte bark and his votce coggied with gin, or the rough span country lad, he never seems to lose that refinement which 1s a marked character- | istic of nis performance. Mr. Maccabe as a pianist | is almost brilliant, and his style is dashing and | expressive, This is a great aid to his voice, which is tolerably good, and his songs call forth much | applause. There Is an abandon and dash in all | that he does which carry the audience with him and ee enhance the leasure derived from the entertainment. in jact, Mr. Maccave is a thoroughly finished | actor and a very accomplished man, und his per- formance is more than usually entertaining.

Sne possesses an unusually fine soprano voice, which she has been taught to use in the very best manner. We hope she may succeed in an undertaking whici, for all its trials, occasionally results in a worid-wide tri- umph. The symmetrical and even beauty of the | present performance of “The Romance of a Poor Young Man,” at Wallack’s, we can heartily com- mend to all lovers of the higher order of theatri- cal representations. From the leading characters down to the smaliest re in the play the acting 1s periect throughout. Little Miss Leonard as the Peasant child is marvellously good. Messrs. Mons Tague, John Gilbert and ali the ladies are adding to their laurels every night, The first entertainment of the scason of the Brooklyn Teachers?

During the tntervais ofthe period of his labor in this capacity he ac- quired @ classical education. He next studied law, and, after his admission to the Bar, set- tled in Auburn for the practice of his profession. Here he obtained a good | Income and much popularity. He was representative in Congress during the years 1815-"16 and was elected Circuit Judge in 1823. In the year 1820 Mr. Throop was elected Lieutenant , Governor, and during the year 1331 he was Gov- ernor of the State of New York.

Pants, Oct. 7, 1874, The rupture between Prince Napoleon and the imperialist party seems to be at length complete, M. Rouher having actually been to Ajaccio by order of the Empress Eugénte in order to oppose the re-election of the Prince to the Council Gen- eral of Corsica. Prince Charles Bonaparte (of the Cauino branch) ts the candidate of the loyal fac- He will probably be chosen in Opposition to his cousin, for the Corsicans are rcely devoted to the head of the imperial house, and Prince Napoleon is now openly disavowed by him, As 1 mentioned in a former letter, the Prince, whose flirtation with republicanism is of long standing, would be welcome to power by the older heads of the liberal party, who dread the youth and administrative incapacity of Gambetta; but a party in France is seldom led by its most Prudent and experienced members. Hence Prince Napoleon, by quarrelling with the family from which, after all, he derives his greatness, 15 tsolat- ing himself from those he might influence ‘or good and throwing himself into the arms of men who can offer him but a feeble support. Iti avery old game this of Prince Napoleon's, which has been played with more or less success in the history of most countries by discontented acions of royal houses. Philippe Egalité, instead of gaining the crown of Louis XVI., only lost his own head, and though his son was for a time more fortunate he may well nave asked himself as he fled from Paris on that memorable February morn- ing in 1848 whether it would not have been better to remain, a6 Duke of Orleans, the pillar and support of the old monarcny, which he might have helped to liberalize, than to reign as a nondescript “King of the Barricades,” looked down upon by his brother sovereigns, and be finally compelled to hurry across the channel disguised as “Ml.

He never received an allowance of less than $150,000 a year, besides being Sen- ator, General of Division, member of the Napoleon III. never | 7 America It grand Inquisitor wno pleaded most earn jhe cause of tne hapless Indians against the rapacity of their Spanish conquerors, Down to our own time the clergy of Poland nave been the boldest assertors of their country’s rights, while ireland unquestionabiy owes the liberty and equality she has been admitted to share with Engiand to the firm yet temperate policy of her priesthood, Where CATHOLIC AND REPUBLICAN principles have seemed to be in conflict it must be admitted that, in Europe at least, republican. ism has generally been the aguressor.

Still Prince Napoleon gave very pleasant dinner parties at the Palais Royal, where questionable stories were told about bishops, and managed to be the friend of hali the wits in Paris.

This eminent prelate has more than once reouked the — indiscreet zeal of partisans, and even snubbed M. Veuiliot.
