WATKIN’S REPORT ON THE CONDITION OF THE LINE. Lonnox, Sept. 20, 1875. Sir Edward William Watkin, who has just retarned from a personal inspection of the Erie Railway, has published his report, in which he describes the per- manent way of the Erie Railway as quite equal to the standard in the United States, but the rolling stock, he says, is defective. The revenue of the line is only twenty-one per cent of the gross receipts, and the out- Standing debts of the company are equal to about four- teen months’ profits, Sir Edward would not raise new capital in the present state of the company’s credit, but advises the bondholders to devote the earnings of the line toward paying off the debts, and to issue certificates for the mortgage interest. President Jewett is highly spoken of, and'the bondholders are advised to support him to the utmost. A memorandum has been signed securing to English interest a substantial influence in the marfagement of the company, promising to place the whole business on an intelligible footing. SELF-REDEMPTION RECOMMENDED. Mr. Jewett spoke contidently of the probable future progress of the net earnings, but he (Sir Edward) post. pones an expression of his own opinion until he has had an opportunity to inspect the next annual account and balance sheet. Pending or proposed litigations with various parties involve complicated transactions and large amounts, The probable results of these pro- ceedings cannot be included in the ledger entries neces- Sary for constructiag a balapce-sheet. He continues:— “In the present state of the credit of Erie the under- taking seems to me as impossible, as it would be un- wise, even if possible, to endeavor to raise and remit more capital’ from England. I can recom- mend no policy but that of’ self-redemption, The railway must pay its debts by using that part of its current net earnings which the courts may permit to be so approprifted, A receivership is the alternative of the time, Foreclosure has been threatened. If the latter is to be avoided there must be co-operation and control in the,working of the former. I advise you to accept the receivership as the best alternative under all the circumstances now possible, and I further advise you to rely upon the honor, as I fecl_ you may also rely upon the anxious labors and full experience of the President and Receiver of the Company.’” BREADSTUFFS IN EUROPE. Loxpox, Sept. 20, 1875. The Mark Lane Express this evening has the follow- ing review of the corn market tor the week:—The last gatherings of the Harvest in the South of England have been well secured. ‘The usuul consequence has ensued, and a reduction in the price of wheat has been univer- sal—say from one to two shillings per quarter, As | talking with Farrow, our averages, however, are only one shilling and six- pence above those of last year, there seems to be little oom, on a scanty and poor crop, for further depres- sion; and as money goes begging it may Gnd profitable vent in the corn trade. TH YRENCH CROP ABUNDANT. The French claim that the growth has excceded their wants by about 3,000,000 quarters; but the fact that the French farmers are more reluctant than ourselves to give way confirms the impression that the estimate iserroneons. The Paris market has been -steady for flour and fine wheat, though it is abont a shilling easier for inferior new, In the provinces there has been very {little change. RAL CONTINENTAL PRICKS, On the Continent generally there has been but little movement, the markets in some places in Germany being firmer and in others easier, In Holland prices have only declived a shilling, and in Belgium hardly that; but im Hungary, with better supplies, there has been a decline of two shillings per quarter, and the same is true of Denmark, Holders at Odessa still demand | higher prices.

In his speech he said the Acheen war had not been brought to @ satisfactory résult, but he had everything'to hope touching a speedy and favorable end, He said the constantly disturbed condition of Venezuela had exercised an unfavorable influence at Curacoa, but he hoped the negotiations now pending would remove this difficulty, RUSSIA AND KHOKAND. KHAN SADE BIDDING FOR HIS FATHER’S THRONE. Bunun, Sept, 20, 1875, A report has been received from Central Asia that the Khan Sade, the eldest son of the deposed Khan of Khokand, has had an interview with General Kauf- mann and the latter is satisfied that Sade is not re- sponsible for the recent -hostilities against Russia. It is expected that Russia will recognize Sade as tne suc- cessor of his father in the Khanate; but whether recognition will be accompanied by, the armed occupa- tion of Khokand is uncertain, At last advices all was quiet there. « MEXICO. REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON OF GREAT IM- PROVEMENT IN THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY. Wasuinaroy, Sept. 20, 1875. Late intelligence from Mexico represents the condi- tion of affairs in that country as extremely favorable, The work of political reconstruction under republican institutions is now practically consummated, and pub- lic attention is being turned to the work of material de- velopment, Great expectations are entertained that Mexico may be ablo to open an important commerce with the United States by means of the increased com- munication through the Gulf ports, and especially from the construction of the lines of inland communication by railroad, concessions for which were approved at the last session of the Mexican Congress, Of these the most important is that for the Mexican International Railroad, which, starting from Leon, a city of 10,000 inhabitants, in the State of Guanajuato, is to reach the Rio Grande, a distance of about 700 miles, and there connect with the International Rail- way of Texas, and thus with the entire railway system of the United States, From Leon to the City of Mexi- co, a distance of 280 miles, the surveys for a railroad under a concession previously made are now in prog- ress, and the line will probably be completed by the time the International road from the border shall reach Leon, The construction of these lines of railroad will undoubtedly open an immense commerce between the two countries, of which, from its geographical position, St. Louis will neces- sarily be the grand distributing point, Arrange- ments are in progress which render it probable that in the construction of these roads American material will be employed. In tho present depressed condition of the iron industry in the United States it would appear of great importance that the control of the Mexican mar- ket for our produce should be secured. THE GEORGIA INSURRECTION. ARREST OF THE LEADER, JOE MORRIS—CURIOUS * ACTION OF UNITED STATES OFFICIALS—A CONFLICT BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE AU- THORITIES PROBABLE, ATLANTA, Sept. 20, 1875, Joe Morris, leader of the late insurrection in Middle Georgia, was captured here this evening. He had been hiding here for three days and visiting United States District Attorney Farrow at night, demanding a Ku Klux prosecution against certain citizens of Burke county, This evening he went to Farrow’s office, in the United States Court building, and was when Detective Murphy passed in the hall two or three times. Morris darted into Farrow’s privaté room and locked the door, Sheriff Perkerson and posse were immediately called to the scene. No other key could be found to unlock the door, and the Sheriff wrote a note to United States Judge Ersken for permission to break the door and take Morris. LErsken replied that the Court had adjourned till morning, and he could grant no order. ‘The Sherif! then climbed over the transom of the door and secured Morris. He bad a razor, but did not attempt to use it, He was AFRAID OF BRING LYNCHED and hoped by Staying in the room that the negroes would rescue him. To-night he was putin the county jail to be taken to Burke county to-morrow for trial. A reward of $500 was offered by the Governor for his arrest. He is small, country looking, poorly dressed, and was much frightened when captured. It is expected Judge Ersken will summon Sheriff Perkerson for contempt to-morrow, and a conflict be- tween the State and federal authorities over Morris is probable. THE GRAND COUNCIL. THE DIFFICULTY IN SELECTING A LOCALITY FOR THE “BIG TALK’—THE TIME AND PLACE FINALLY AGREED UPON—THE INTENTION OF THE COMMISSIONERS. Rep Croup Acsvcy, Sept. 18, 1875. The Commissioners have changed their minds four times in regard to the place and date of the Grand Council, After they had decided against Shadion Creek they chose a spot near Crow Buttes, where they waited a day or two for Spotted Tail to come, and then chose a place on White River, six miles below the agency, with Spotted Tail’s approval, having already deferred the Council from the appointed time of opening on Friday until the following Wednesday. General A. H. ‘Terry has arrived, with General L. P. Bradley. Red Cloud came on Thursday and vented his disg at the change of location, Red Dog has asked for further time, and in hopes of an agreement among the Indians the Commissioners have deferred the opening again, this time until Monday, They appointed American Horse, Spotted Tail, No Flesh and Two Strike to settle the difliculties between the Ogallalias and Brules. Red Cloud and Red Dog would not listen to Spotted Tail’s proposition, and Red Cloud has since been partially ignored, Agents Burke, Bingham and Howard yesterday went down to the camps of their people and, by order of the Commission, told them to come to the’ place last chogen on the White River. After their departure tho Commissioners yesterday changed the time of opening again to Monday. But this morning Commissioners Allison, Terry and Hinman were present on the pro- posed CouNcTL GRouND at ten o'clock, with several Ogallalla chiefs. They met Spotted Tail and the chiels there, who were moving up the Tepees and families of the band. The Ogallalla and Brule chiefs had a private council on the ground, and agreed to request of Spotted Tail that the place be changed one mile further east on the river bottom, and to meet in Grand Council on Monday. Man-afraid-of- his-horses gave the deciding vote. Red Cloud was not represented except by Sword aud Spider, his relatives. ‘Two companies of cavairy have been detailed as the escort of the Commissioners, and the Fifteenth infantry- The Commissioners first day of the Council, but it is now probable they will Black Twin will not come in, He hus heard ofa large herd of buf- falo and gone on a bunt. THE RED CLOUD INVESTIGATION. | MOVEMENTS OF THE COMMISSIONERS—PREPARA- TIONS FOR COMPLETING THE REPORT—THE RESIGNATION OF AGENT SAVILLE, Wasmivatox, Sept. 20, 1875. ‘The members of the Red Cloud Commission, with the | exception of Mr. Faulkner, were at the Interior Depart- ment this afternoon, and were furnished with various documents and maps of the Indian reservations, Mr. Faulkner left for home on Saturday evening, and to- night all the other members leave, each being charged with the preparation of certain portions of the report referring to special subjects. The chairman, Governor Pletcher, will, it is said, write that portion of the re- port referring to the general question of the manage- mentof Indian affairs, The commission will meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, on the 4tb of October to hear and sign the report, A UNANIMOUS REPORT. Application was made foe synopsis of the parts agreed upon, but as the members were not all here ob- jection was raised that, until they again met, no more could be said than the report would be unanimous on all | the main features of the investigation, AGENT SAVILLE'S RESIGNATION, Althongh Indian Agent Saville tendered his resigna- tion last summer {t will not be acted upon until the Red Cloud Commission shall submit its report, Mr, Hastings, who was nominated as his stccessor some time ago’ by the Kpiscopal Mission, will not, therefore, be appotnted until Saville be dismissed or hus resigna- tion accopteds i generous to the THE TEXAS CYCLONE. FURTBER PARTICULARS OF DAMAGE WROUGHT BY THE STORM—DISASTERS TO SHIPPING AND GOVERNMEN' PROPERTY— PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE, Gaxvuston, Toxas, Sept. 19, 1875. During the storm on the 17th inst. the steamship Australia, loaded with cotton for Liverpool, went to sea from the outer roads, and was driven ashore at St. Ber- nard, sixty miles west of here. Her surgeon and mate, who arrived here to-day, report that she is lying in seven feet of water, No lives were lost, A BARK AGROUND, The bark Edward McDonald, which was discharging at a wharf, was blown over upon the point of Pelican Island, in Galveston Bay, and is now aground infight foot of water. 1t is thought she will be gotten off with slight damage, A STEAMER WRECKED, The bayou steamer Beardstown was driven from her dock and broken to pieces, and is a total wreck. A number of her crew are reported to have been lost, A PROUABLE LOSS OF LIFE. Dr. H. W. Peel, Health Officer of the port, was at Quarantine station with his family, On’ the evening of the 15th he sent his family to the city, excepting a little grandson, who remained with him at the station, On the evening of the 16th the storm increased and the water rose rapidly, carrying away the buildings, and when last seen Dr, Peel and the little boy were in the old fort, a short distance from Quarantine station, No tidings have yet been received from them and it is sup- posed that they have both been lost. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS SWEPT AWAY. The government buildings, with all the material on land which was being used for the construction of gabions for harbor improvement, were swept away, A number of men employed on the works came to the city on the 15th, and when the water carried away the buildings twenty-seven men clung to the piling through the night, and all except two were saved by tugs. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, On the following morning dwelling houses on the eastern point of the island and along the beach on the south side were considerably damaged by water, and houses were blown down.and washed‘off, In the central and business portions of the city very little damage was done, It is estimated that $200,000 will cover all losses to property. Very little damage has been done to the wharf or on the bay front. Many telegraph poles have been blown down, The rail- road is badly broken on the island—culverts gone and tracks washed off. The bridge stands, with the excep- tion of 100 yards of stringers, ant! the iron piling re- mains, It will be several days betore it can be ro- paired, but the trains will resume, The damage above, onthe bay and bayous, is reported to be very great, Commodore Morgan’s fleet of dredge boats are yeported driven ashore and a number wrecked at Harrisburg and Houston, The terrifle gale drove the water higher up in the bay than ever before, It 18 feared damage has been done at Indianola and Western ports. DISASTERS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND, New ORLEANS, Sept. 20, 1975, The Times gives the following account of the storm at Galveston, derived from newspaper accounts and state- ments of passengers from that city:—‘‘To briefly sum- marize the disasters, the gale by Wednesday, at mid- day, reashed such proportions that captains of steamers, who have been accustomed for generations to traversing this portion of the Gulf, declined to put to sea Almost simultaneously with the announcement of this determi- nation came the report that a shipyard at the extreme eastern end of the island had been inundated, and that the men were fleeing for their lives. A rapidly falling barometer indicated an increase of the storm, and the waters of the Gulf on the south side of the island gradually begun to encroach upon the gar- dens of the scattered residences skirting the beach, and they were soon overflowed, the water during the day reaching a depth of two feet, All day long and during Thursday it blew a hurricane, pushing the waters of the Gulf over the entire island, and covering even the bighest elevations to a depth of two anda halt feet, This riage embraces an area of per- haps twelve blocks of buildings, extending from Me- chanic street to Market street, a distance of two squares latitudinally, and from Centre street to Bath avenue, about six squares longitudinally. In the entire rear of the east and west ends of the city the water roso to a sufficient depth to float large wooden edi- fice, many of which are very valuable. The residence portion of the city was affected from Tremont street for a distance of at least one mile and a half. | Every garden and every foundation i$ destroyed. Domi- ciles are scattered promiscuously in the centre of the thoroughfares, many of them being jammed together, Further to the west, in the neighborhood of Oleander Park, where there are many small farms and a number of stylish refidences, the water is reported to have reached from six to nine feet in depth. A similar story is told of the eastern end of the island, which extends from Centre street at least one mile and ahalf. In the business portion of the city large stocks of goods are kept on the ground floors, and one may estimate the injury which thirty inches of sea water would involve, It is fair to presume that the earnings of an entire year will be exhausted in repairing the damage. Probably the vegetation has been utterly de- stroyed, but that the island is involved in wholesale ruin we do not apprehend.” ‘TELEGRAMS FROM TEXAS MERCHANTS. The following telegrams were received in this city last evening by prominent merchants doing business with Texas ;— Hovston, Texas, Sept. 20, 1875. ‘The greatest distress prevails among the poor people at the Kast Bnd, Galveston, Several hundreds of them have been rendered utterly destitute by the storm, They need help immediately, : Hovstoy, Texas, Sept. 20, 1875. A committee of reli as been orgenized to help the sufferers, with the Mayor of Galveston at its head. Contributions are now being received, Can you help them? Another despatch says: Ganyrston, Sept. 20, 1875. ‘The greatest suffering prevails here among the poorer class, and many in the wealthier class are in distress. The people at the East End have been washed? out of their houses, their clothing lost and provisions de- stroyed. Help is needed now. LETTER FROM COLONEL OCHILTREE. To re Eprror ov Tae Heranp:— “Late advices from Galveston received by myself and other Texans sojourning in New York indicate it great suffering will probably ensue to the unfortun residents of that city who were drowned out of hi and home during the prevalence of the cyclone of the past week, The losses pecuniarily cannot, of course, be compu- ted at this early moment, but there is no doubt but that contributions of food, clothing, and money will be gratefully received by the Relief Committee already organized there, Tinced not cail the attention of public so uniformly fact that Galveston has invariably sent large subscriptions to the afflicted of al) lands when needed as a reasen for reciprocal favor, now that the beautiful “Islana City’ is in desolation and ruins.

INTERNATIONAL COURTESIES, THE BRITISH MAN-O¥-WAR BELLEROPHON AT NEWPORT—MAKING THE VISIT OF THE BRITISH VICE ADMIRAL PLEASANT—ON BOARD ADMIRAL PORTER'S TORPEDO BOAT, “ Newrorr, R. I, Sept. 20, 1875. Tho city authorities, residents and the naval officers seem determined that Vice Admurd? Wellesley and the officers of the British man-of-war Bellerophon shall enjoy themselves during their stay at this place. As the Vice Admiral did not arrive for a week after the time first stated, the committee of arrangements have had ample time to prepare for him in better style than it was expected they could. There is something ex. tremely pleasing in the cordiality with which the Amer- ican naval officers have met and welcomed their British cousins, Admirals Porter and Case, with their staffs of officers, have been careful that nothing should be want- ing to render the brief stay of the British Vice Admi- ral as pleasant as possible, After the warm reception of our naval officers at Southampton, they could do no less than they have done. Whether the English officers can stand the continuous eloquence of our city officials is a question to be debated, especially as our worthy Mayor here seemed to bless our visitors for all the benefits of a high civilization, and almost took away the breath of the English commander by his eulogy of the great advantages achieved by Great Britain at Geneva. EXCHANGE OF COURTESIKS. The exchange of courtesies commenced early this morning. At ten o'clock Vico Admiral Wellesley, accompanied by his staff, visited the torpedo station at Goat Island in fall uniform. They were received by Ad- miral Porter, Captain Breese, the ‘commandant, and the officers attached to the _ station, also in full uniform. A salute of seventeen guns was fired as they landed. After being shown over tho Electrical and other departments they were taken on board Admiral Porter’s torpedo boat Alarm and the numerous war appliances of this deadly-looking craft were explained by Lieutenant Barbour, who is in com- mand of the vessel. While they were on board, the Gatling guns, mounted on the rail of the ram, were charged and a volley was fired into the harbor for the edification of the visitors. A few minor torpedo experi- ments were also made, although Uncle Sam evidently showed them nothing but géneral rosults, ON BOARD THE BELLEROPHON, At one o'clock Admirals Porter and Case, Captain Breese, General Hunt, from Fort Adams, and the naval attaché of the British Legation returned the visit, and went on board the Bellerophon to:lunch, in accordance with an invitation previously tendered. After the usual exchange of naval views the party took leave, and the American Admirals were saluted on leaving, in accordance with the English custom, with soventeen guns. A DINNER TO THE ENGLISH OFFICERS. This evening a private dinner was given to the Eng- lish officers, at Hartmann’s, by some gentlemen here, Among those present were Vice Admiral Wellesley, Admiral Porter, Admirat Case, Captain Wells, of the Bellerophon; Commander Holland, General Pottor, Mr. Herbert Roe, Flag Lieutenant Brackenbury, Major Macomb,-and Messrs. Tucker, Wetmore, Sheldon, Beck- with, Tiffany, Rogers, Richards, Fearing and Blodgett, ‘This was an extremely quiet and pleasant affair, A CLAMBAKE, To-morrow the clambake takes place on Squanton Island. ‘ THE WESTERVELT TRIAL. THE PRISONER FOUND GUILTY ON THREE COUNTS—GREAT INTEREST AND EXCITEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA—THE SCENE IN count. Purapenrura, Sept, 20, 1875, When Judge Elcock concluded his charge to the jury in the case of William H. Westervelt, at seven qclock on Saturday night, the jury retired to deliberate and the court was adjurned until this morning at ten o’clock. They afterward came into Court and asked several questions, which showed that an immediate disagreement was improbable. Two hours before the opening this morning the street opposite the Court House was so blockaded that access to the Philadelphia office of the Heraup was impeded, and at ten o’élock it was impossible to approach within a dozen yards of the Court House doorway, every inch of room within being occupied. The long adjournment had led to the fear that the jury would not agree, and the greatest interest toknow the result when they came into court was universally manifested, The jury filed into their chairs at ten o'clock pre- cisely, Judge Eleock taking his seat at the same time. AS the prisoner took his place in the dock: he looked much older than on Saturday. Worn and dejected as he appeared then, he seemed by comparison to bear a strong and cheerful aspect. This morning he was apparently wearied by the strain of wretched suspense that had so long borne upon him, and his face showed signs of weeping and trouble hard to be endured. A few moments after he was seated his wife and two children came in. He kissed his chil- dren and his wife, and she stood beside him for a mo- ment, holding tightly to ‘his hand, while both wept silently, Mrs. Westervelt sat down beside the dock for a few moments, and then, feeling that she could not en- dure this final ordeal, she, accompanied by her children, were escorted out of the court room by an officer. The prisoner looked afer them with a long, mournful gaze, and then his eyes sought the floor, and he sat with his head leaning upon his hand, ‘and waited motionless for the decisive word to be spoken. THR VERDICT. Judge Elcock, having taken his seat upon the bench, despatched messengers for the District Attor- ney and Mr, Ford. As the latter gentieman came into court he went to his client’s side, shook hands and ex- chapged a few words with him, and then took his seat at the table. The roll of the jury was then called, and they wore asked if they had agreed upon a verdict. “We have,” responded the foreman. “How say you? Do you find the defendant, William Westervelt, guilty or not guilty ?”” “Guilty as to the third, fourth and fifth counts of the indictment, and not guilty as to the first and second.”? Upon motion of Mr. Ford the jury was.polled, and cach one, as his name was called, rose in his place and repeated the verdict they had agreed upon. ‘The prisoner, although he had evidently tried to pre- pare himself for the worst, had not braced himself up sufficiently to bear } strongly, and, as the foreman an- nounced the verdict, he bowed his head upon his hands and wept like a child, He continued weeping, with his head bowed down, until the time came to remove him from the court room, when he arose and went down through the trap door with @ nervous haste, as if anx- jous to be relieved as quickly as possible from the cu- rious and unsympathetic gaze of the crowd, ‘The counts on which he was acquitted charged. his actual participation in the abduction. Those on which he f ee STONEWALL JACKSON'S STATUE. 4 LITTLE STUMBLING BLOCK IN THE WAY OF VIRGINIAN LOYALTY TO THE MEMORY OF STONEWALL JACKSON. Ricumonp, Va., Sept, 20, 1875, ‘The detention of the Stonewall Jackson statue in Baltimore is supposed to be due only to the usual red tape circumlocution of tbe United States customs au- thorities, Governor Kemper was notified of its arrival in Baltimore some ten days ago, when he authorized the agent of the Powhatan Steamship Company tp transport it to this city. It was then expected that the statue would be sent at once, but he was informed later that it would be neces- sary to send his affidavit to the effect that the statue was a present to the State of Virgima in order to obtain its release from the Baltimore Custom House without the payment of the regular tariff on such articles. Governor Kemper promptly forwarded the official docu- ments required in such cases, since which nothing has been heard further than that he will be duly notified as to the time of the shipment of the statue from Balti- more. ry THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA. SUBSCRIPTION TO THK GUARANTEE FUND SEVEN AND A HALF MILLIONS—SALE OF THE ASSAY- ING AND REFINING WoRKS, San Francisco, Sept, 20, 1875. There is little that is new concerning the affairs of the Bank of California, Tho subscription to the guarantee fund now amounts to $7,500,000. ‘The sale of the assay- ing and reflning works to Messrs. Flood & O’Brien is not yet consummated. It is understood that every- thing is ready for a formal transfer, but that a disagnee- ment exists between the directors, a portion of whom oppose the transfer, on the ground that the Ophir mine will produce enough bullion to keep the works busy. DUNCAN; SHERMAN & CO. Aubaxy, Sept. 20, 1875. Duncan, Shermam & Co. owe this city $1,300 17, and they propose to settle at thirty-three and one-third per cent, in five semi-annual payments. The Finance De partment have agreed to accept the proposition. CRAFT'S EIGHT HUNDRED MILES. Scuxxzorapy, Sept. 20, 1875, Craft, the pedestrian, commenced his undertaking to walk 800° miles in fourteen days on Saturday last at soven P, M. Last night at seven o'clock he had made sixty-six miles, AMUSEMENTS. i GRAND OPERA HOUSE. There was a goodly audience last night at the Grand Opera House, attracted, no doubt, by the enticing title of the play that was to be presented for the first time, “Red and Black, or a Gambler’s Life.” While the boxes wore deserted—boxes being evidently not in vogue among jhe republican habitués of this theatre under its new régime—and while there was but a sprinkling of covered heads !n the parquet, the upper gallery was jammed. Vestless and collarless votaries of the drama were there in great number, and many a peanut- eating newsboy no doubt brought a handkerchief wherein to shed tears over the ceuel fate of the gambler, a fate that everybody could foresee, The gods in the gal- lery wero decidedly inusical last night, and long before the orchestra made its appearance a variety of popular marches and songs were whistled loudly, with the ac- companiment of stamping feet. We cannot commend these musical performances as highly artistic; on the con- trary, they were rather shrill, and at times strongly re- minded one of an Indian warwhoop. However, they had the desired effect of bringing the tardy orchestra to their seats, which appeased the gods somewhat and put them in a good humor for the dramatic feast that was coming. This, as might be expected, was essentially a feast of blood, of terrora. ‘‘Red and Black’? is a de- cidedly blood-curdling, blood-coagulating production, and it pleased immensely, Scarcely has the curtain risen upon a gorgeous gambling saloon when one of the unfortunate victims of the game already pulls forth a dagger to atone with his life for his folly. Mr. Joseph Wheelock, who is described in the bill as “a spend- thrift gambler, afterward the ‘“‘Wood Chopper of the Black Morass,’”? sustains the principal réle with much rolling of what Louise Mihlbach would call his ‘flaming eyes,” much thundering of @ very loud, though hoarse Voice, and much terrific play. of feature; and the same cau be said, more or less, of all tho other performers, They all spoke in deeply tragical voices, and stalked with imposing grandeur and solemnity upon the stage. Mr. Ogden, who is described as a “professional gamoster and villain of the deepest dye,” {s not so ferocious a villain as he might be, which is probubly owing to his unfortunate selection of a blonde mustache, There was much whistling and hooting in token of applause, and much peanut-eatin, in token of enjoyment; and having “supped full of horrors,” the audience separated, BOOTH’S THEATRE. The revival of Boucicault’s sporting drama, ‘Flying Scud,’ at this house last night brought together a large audience, made up in great part by members of the dramatic profession. The curiosity was not so mach about the play, which is sufticiently familiar, as about Mr. George Belmore, whose impersonation of the old time jockey, Nat Gosling, won him in England an en- viable reputation, “Flying Scud” is a drama of tho turf and exhibits with. great clearness and force some of the rascally features of horse racing. As a dramatic work its merits are not of a high order, and it shows little of the cunning of its author's hands. ‘The dialogne is, however, in many passages pungeny and tinged with a quaint wit, Its main interest rests, however, chiefly on the splendid character drawn as Nat Gosling, the old-time jockey. Mr. Belmore's Nat Gos- ling is to the ‘Flying Scud” what Mr. Boucicault’sConn was to “The Shaughraun”—something so essential that we can scarcely separate the personality from the ef- fective presentation of the réle, Its one of the most careful and finished pieces of character acting that has been witnessed for a long time on the New York stage, and quite justifies the high praise bestowed on this performance by the English critics. We have be- come so much accustomed to the unmeasured laudation frequently bestowed on actors of very second- ary merits by transatlantic writers that it was with a feeling of relief we found in Mr. Belmore, an artist deserving of all the good things that had been said of him in advance. Yet ho appeared under very unfavorable circumstances, for the state of hfs health’ is 80 bad as to necessitate the constant at- tendance on bim of a physician. Mr. Frederick Warde layed the part of Tom Meridith, the lucky trainer who Pals into a fortune, with manliness and rare intelligence. There is little to be said in favor ot the remainder of the cast, which was weak throughout, TNe important ‘feminine réles were weakly filled by two ladies who are an- nounced as new comers. Unless they im; fe con- siderably they will not prove much addition to the strength of the company. As now presented, “Flying Scud” depends wholly on the admirable acting of Mr. Belmore for success with the public, and no one who loves character acting ot a high order should fail to see Nat Gosling, Those actors especi- ally who insist on drawing — caricatures instead of portraits can witness Mr. Belmore’s per- formance with advantage. The old jockey is drawn with a clearness and firmness of touch that impresses us as masterly. The portrait is broadly treated, but is full of dotails, and we feel that every touch is the expression of some truth, The work is: done almost —_reverentially and is kept absolutely free from even the suspicion of cari- cature. It is earnest in its pathos and in its humor, and impresses the spectator with the conviction that it is no ideal sketch, but a study from nature, in which all the freshness ‘and force of the original bas been thoroughly reproduced. ,It has all the finish and completeness of detail of a picture by Meissonnier. OLYMPIC THEATRE. There was a very large audience at this cosey theatre lastevening. The programme was a lengthy one, and, judging from the froquent applause accorded the artists in the various scenes and furces, the audience was more than delighted with the entertainment.

The following text of the telegram from Governa Ames to the Attorney General, relating to affairs im Mississippi, was to-day made public: Jackson, Miss., Sept. 11, 1875. Arrorey Geverar Prennxronr, Washington, D. C. ‘The necesssity which called for my despatch of the 1ith inst, to the President still exists. Your question of yesterday, repeated to-day, asks for information which I gladly give. The violence is incident to the contest preceding the pending election. Unfortunately, the question of race, which has been prominent at South since the war, has assumed magnified importance atthis time in certain localities. In fuct, the race feeling is 8o intense that protection for the colored by the white organizations is despaired of. A political contest made on “the white line’? fortids it The history of the colored people since recon- struction, “and its bearing on the situ. ation at this time, and a detailed stateme of the troubles here, cannot be condensed in a telegram. This State has been opposed to organizing a militia of colored men. It has been believed by them that ity would develop a war of races which would extend be” yond the borders of this State. The organization of Whites alone, where the issue is one of race, would be equally ineffectual. The most complete protection would be found’ in the strict noninterference of the whites. Contradictions will be numerous, as they were last December. But the report of the Congressional Committee proved the correctness of my assertion. I am aware of the reluctance of the people of this country to national interjerence in State affairs, though, if there be no violation of the law, there can be no in- terference, Permit me to express the hope that the odium of such interference shall not attach to Presi- dent Grant or the republican party, As the Governor of the State, I made a demand which cannot well be refused. Let the odium in ali its magnitude descend upon me. I cannot eseape the conscious discharge of my duty toward a class of American citizens whose only offence consists in theircolor, I am powerless to protect. ADELBERT AMES. Attorney General. Pierrepont says that the letter to Governor Ames was intended to show that federal troops would not be called out except in strict: accord- ance with 4he constitution and laws after the State had used its own resources, but if the necessity was. forced the government would indulge in no leniency toward lawless disturbers of the public peace or murderers of innocent men. ‘ GOVERNOR. TILDEN TALKS, PLAIN TALK ALOUT THE STATE TAXES—~HOW & \ REDUCTION CAN BE OBTAINED—A REFERENCE TO THE CANAL FRAUDS. Aumayy, Sept, 20, 1875, Governor Tilden met with an enthusiastic reception at the Agriculturai Fair at Schenevus, Otsego county, on Saturday, the people coming in from all directions to meet and listen to him. In the course of his address he said:— As regards the taxes imposed by the State (about one half of all you pay directly), the trust of fixing them ia confided to the legislasive ‘bodies in Albany, aud in @ small degree to the chief executive of the State. If "feed will send to these legislative bodies men who will be true to your interests within the next two years that portion of your taxes which you contribute for the-use- of the State can be reduced just about one half. I am not here, said he, on this occasion and before this vast and intelligent audience to allude to any subject on which there is or onght to be any division of opinion among our fellow citizens. But on this subject L say fearlessly, there ought not to be any difference of opinion. We have rescued in @ gigantic civil war our country from dissolution; we have preserved its integrity and established its unity upon durable foundations, and now it remains for us, with a firm and steady hand, to ro-; move ‘the fungus growths which now: absorb the vital forces of free institutions im the State of New Pork and in the United States, This ts work we all ought to enjoy—every party, every class, every mind, every citizen who has at. heart the best‘interest.. of his own community and of our common country. After finishing his address he was called upon to speak for Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, who wae absent, and again mado a lengthy address. ’ Tho andi- ence then called for something about the canal frauds, and he spoke of them also. THE RIO GRANDE, THE COLORED TROOPS FRATERNIZING WITH THR: MEXICANS. Wasutcton, Sept. 20, 1875. The preeence of colored troops in the Department of Texas, especially along the Rio Grande, officers on duty in that locality say, is not so effective as if the entire command was composed of white troops. Complaint is also made that they are on too fyiendly terms with the Mexicans, and that they are likely to suffer from ther - treacherous friendsh: THE CENTENNIAL. . ‘THE BANKERS’ DEPARTMENT.
