Considerable excitement prevails here to-night over the verdict of the jury in the McDonald case. The ver- dict is guilty on each of the eight counts of the in, dictment, Judge Treat opened Court this morning at the usuai hour and a large crowd was on hand to listen to the argument of counsel and the Judge's charge, ‘The government waived the opening and Judge Krum made the argument for the defence, The pith of his speech was that the jury could not convict because all the witnesses for the prosecution were confessed perjurers and had pleaded guilty under indictments for fraud, Dis, trict Attorney Dyer closed the case for the government, THE JURY’S CONCLUSIONS, Judge Treat’s charge was not lengthy. The jury re- tired at three o’clock. Ata quarter of seven o’clock P.M. they notified the Judge that a verdict had been agreed upon. After the counsel for defendant had arrived in response to asummons from the Court, the Jury en- tered the court room and delivered their verdict of guilty on all the eight counts of the indictment Mo- tion was made by Lhe Government Attorneys that de- fendant be sentenced at once or ordered into the custody of the Marshal Judge Treat announced that he would vot pass sentence in any of the whiske: cases, either where juries have convicted or the defend- ant's have pleaead guilty, until all the pending cases have been heard and that, In the mean time, the defend- ant would be ordered {nto the Marshal’s custody, THK QUESTION OF BAIL. In answer to a question of McDonald’s attorneys, the Judge replied that he would require $50,000 additional bail before be would release him. The defendant was alreaay under bonds of $20,000. Judge Treat suggested that if counsel for defendant wished bail for their client pending a motion for a new trial, they should file a motion respecting the amount, which would be heard to-morrow. GENBRAL M’DONALD preserved a look of indifference during the proceedings, and smilingly followed the Marshal trom the court room to the County Jail, where he will pass the night.

Sr. Louis, Nov. 22, 1875, The United States Attorney for the district embracing St. Louis says that an error was made in the transmis- sion of his last despatch, in that it said:—‘Brooks and Hoag, revenue ageuts, were indicted yesterday (November 16) by the Grand Jury.” It should have said “Brashear” instead of “Brooks.”” A despatch from the Solicitor of the Treasury has just been received in controversion, saying that the department has received the assurance of the United States District Attorney at St. Louis that Mr. James J. Brooks is not indicted, aud that no suspicion whatever attaches to bim and that there is no truth “in any allegation made against him.” ‘The despatch is signed by Elmer Washburne, Chief of the Secret Service of the Treasury Department.

VERSIONS FROM BOTH SIDES-—ORIGIN OF THE HOSTILE FEELING, Ricumonp, Va, Nov, 22, 1875, Developments to-day go to show that the rencontre between Generals Bradley T. Johnson and J. D. Imbo- den on Saturday night threatens to be more serious in {ts consequences than in its immediate effect. When Johnson became a candidate for the State Senate Imboden, with others, bolted and became independents, and over the ture of an “Old-fashioned Man,” in the Whig, charged Johnson with corruption in his law practice. These charges Johnson branded as malicious slanders and deliberate falsehoods, over his own name, in all to reiterate them publicly Johnson attacked him with a cowhide, and, as he states to-day, gave Imboden some twenty blows with that weapon across the face. Imboden geized Johnson and was pashing him toward the mov- ing railroad cars, when the latter drew his pistol and both were arrested, ‘This fight has intensified the bitterness between the conservauves proper and the independents, and the personal friends of the combatants may at any moment become involved in ducls or street fights, which are certain to be serious if they occur, eral Imboden, who left the city to attend -he ¢ Railroad Convention at 8t, Louis immediately after the difficulty, telegraphs the following as his ver- sion of the affair, which will be pablished here to-mor- row, aud is likely to provoke more bitter fooling, and hostility :— Mitrorn, Va., Nov. 21, 1875. ‘Ask the public to suspend jadgment till Tean be heard from in regard to the cowardly attempt of Bradiey Johnson to assassinate me in the dark and in a crowd, inciudin ladies, when he knew and, I believe, hnd arranged that To Jonn S.

Generally speaking the DAMAGE TO LIFE AND PROPERTY by Indians is believed to be less during the past year than in any former year, and the prospect 1s, that, as the country 1s dettled, it will be less and less each year until the Indians are established on small reservations; but, until they acquire habits of industry in farming or 1n stock raising, they will need food ‘rom the general gov- ernment because the game on which they have hith- erto subsisted, has diminished very rapidly, CATHOLICITY IN ONTARIO. ¢ PASTORAL BY THE HIERARCHY—CIVIL POWER YS.

It re- fers to education, training schools, intemperance, se- cret societies, &c. Of the civil power it saye:— “There are unwise men who presume to assert that the civil power is supreme, even in spiritual affairs; that to it spiritual power should be subordinate, Were the apos, tles to have believed this the Gospel could not have been preached in the world or banded down to us pure and unsullied, Civil power is from God, for the well-being of society, and its own limits are bounded by the same law of the same God from whom it derives its author. ity. It has no right to interfere with the preaching of the true Gospel and tho establishment of the religion of Christ when the means taken are peaceful.” Concerning mixed marriages the pastora: says:—"*Wo have indiv@iually shown you the evils of mixed mar- riages, and we now unitedly warn young men and women, before forming friendships with persons of a different creed, to pause and reflect lest they take a step, the consequences of which they may deplore both in time and eternity.

Techaikowsky ; Sonata quasi fantasia, No. 2, inC sharp minor, opus 27, Beéthoven; Fantasia, Schubert, arranged for piano and orchestra by Liszt. The concerto, which the pianist played in Boston, is the work of a young pupil of Rubinstein, There it did not please, and many thought that the cause of its failure as a musical work It did very little better in New York, as it is essentially weak in conception, and, although many effective pas- Sages may be tound in it, yet the lack of inspira, tion and homogeneity of thought must ever pla man, and a promising pupil of the greatest pianist now before the public, But a piano concerto, nowadays, demands in its construction @ larger ex- of this concerto seems to haye enjoyed. Youths like Mozart and Mendelssohn are hard to be found in this age. The opening movement, Andante non troppo ¢ molto maestoso, has a bizarre kind of orchestration and a rather pretty motive, given first by the violins and celli,jever which the long chords of the piano en arpeggio | throw a peculiar light. The piano repeats the theme, | with declamatory interludes and some fanciful ombroi- | dery, An allegro con spirito succeeds, beginning with singular figure of broken triplets, afterwards strange freaks in the orchestra and genuine Rubinstein passages for the piano. The theme introduced,here is | not interesting, although it has a flavor of Schumann about i. Neither is its immediate successor, notwithstanding the Drilliancy of the piano | phrases. Further on, Lizstian octaves and modulations can be called talent in composition, here Mr. Tschalk- | wosky deserves praise, But there is an entire absence | of form and continued thought, which must render it distasteful to the musical mind, The composer, not wishing to entrust even to the eminent pianist to whom he dedicated the work, and who certainly did it ample justice last night, has written out in full the cadenzas he desired to accompany this concerto. The first is a formidable undertaking for any pianist, dificult of execution in the extreme, and, unhappily, correspondingly ineffective, The second movement, andantino simplice, has a little of the Henselt spirit, as conveyed in the Larghetio of the famous concerto by it. The finale, dllegro con fuoco, introduces a Russian | melody of a very characteristic kind. Here, as in | some of the preceding movements, the orchestra failed | completely to give proper support to the pianist, The composer has, undoubtedly, written passages for the wind | instruments that in a piano concerto are not only ex- tremely difficult, but also very absurd. But the players dia not, in portions of the work that were compara- tively easy, respond to the baton of Dr. Damrosch as they should, and in many instances they spoiled the magnificent rendering of Mr. Bilow.

The inimitable intro- ductory movement, Adagio Sostenuto, so ap- parently easy to play and, yet containing such an inflnitude of poetry and tenderness (and those who know the love that inspired it toward the lady to whom it is dedicated, Julia Guicciardi, cannot help re- alizing the fact that the inmost depths of the heart of the greatest composer that ever lived are revealed | fn this tone poem), was an idyl of beauty beneath the inspired fingers of Bilow. He dweit upon it tenderly and caressingly, and each finger seemed to be instinct with the spiritof poetry, He glided into the allegretto as it it were a continuation of the same movement in a scarcely perceptible change of tempo.

But the piece in the hands of a company familiar with all its harrowing, affecting details, accustomed to portraying even worse features in the great French metropolis, is enhanced twofold in point of instruction and interest, The con- cise rendering of the dialogues in French, the gesture, the accent, the striking changes of expression and sen- timent, the wrought up passion engendered by hate and greed, the compassion and tenderness alternating with vulgar rage and low desires— all bring the spectator into more direct sympathy than is possible in the English version, Then the tab- leaux at once rivet the attention; the beautiful views by the Seine, the dark and horrible nooks of the neigh boring purlieus, the gorgeousness and extravagance of the wealthy debauché and the insouciance of the crea- tures who are made to appear at all times what in reality they are not. The contest between manliness and courage and absolute debauchery create nge, commanding interest. It is true the only real change last night was tho act of reconciliation and the tragic end of Jacques Frochard’s abominable career, But the acting, the scenery, the dresses, the general setting were so superior that those who witne: it constantly expressed their entire appreciation by recalling the principal actors whenever the curtain dropped, The cast was as follows:— Roger de Vaudreuil Le Comte de Picard, domestiq: Le Chat onixe Hennet Diane, Comtesse de Linieres Marinine.. ‘Renard -Beleour archande. . p As Louise Mile, assed the expectations of all who had seen her in other rdles.

The second movement, adagio, the motive of which is the well known song ot ‘The Wanderer,” is very fantastically colored. The tremendous technical difficulties in the finale were as child's play beneath the trained fingers of | Bilow. His playing of this trying work was as suc- cessful as the two that preceded it. A word regarding the orchestra. The heat of the hall seems to | produce the disagreeable effect of flattening the tone | of the mstruments, even the reeds, so that they appear | to be out of tune with the piano at times, Cannot this be prevented? Strings creak and reeds bend, and even the brass has an uncertain tone. The orchestra is composed of excellent elements, There is no reason | why they should be so often at loggerheadg, in regard | to tone, with the piano, | ‘gure } MISS CLARA MORRIS AT THE FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE. The story of Debora is one of the most pathetic | known to our stage, It 1s also one of tho most dra- | matic, It appeals to the passion of love, to the pride | and prejudice of race and to the natural sympathy we have with suffering and the magnanimity which in a | noble nature always triumphs in the end over hate and revenge, The poor Jowess who wanders as an outcast have recently made incursions into Northern Nebraska, | through an alién land, supporting by her labor mostly to borg rey Paiute Eps yd dat Siang | the aged members of her race, suddenly the line of the Pacitic Railroad and north of 1, Genet Crook is of the opinion that the whole army, acting de- | Wakened to love and womanhood by one of | fensively, cannot prevent these incursions, and sug- | the enemies of her race, triumphing over hor destiny of contempt and wretchedness by tho force of this love, and finally descending from her | height of bliss far more rapidly than she rose to it, and | falling into misery far deeper than that from which | she came, distracted by the desertion of her lever, | maddened by jealousy, and finally triumphing over | | evil through @ spirit of forgiveness that Christians could not excel—this poor, despised Debora is one of the heroic characters of the modern drama She is “Like one of Shakespeare’s women” in this that it is wholly pure, and that she heightens the bright ideal of | womanhood, Mosenthal created anew role when he | wrote “Debora,” and it is not surprising that his play should be translated in many different forms, and have inspire the imagination of some of the finest of living | | actresses, Miss Clara Morris in adopting this character has very | | croditably desired to add to a répertoure which is already valuable and large. In ‘Article 47,” “Madeline prel,’’ ‘Alixe,”’ ‘Divorce,’’ ‘*Macbeth, ‘Evade,’ Jamille,” and other plays, she bas established herself as a leading representative of the respective heroines | upon our stage, To all of these characters Miss Morr: gives powerful expression. To some of them she gives | expression which is consistent with their truth and with the elements of beauty which should always control dramatic art, while in others she produces painful and repulsive effects, To decide as to which of these | classes her Bsther (as Mr. Daly calis the heroine of “The New Leah") belongs would be tmproper now, but | we may certainly affirm that 1t does not belong, like ) Cora, in “Article 47,"’ to the last, Miss Morris has but | recently recovered from a painful iliness; this was ber | first assumption of the part, and, no doubt, tm future | | performances she will greatly improve in the execu- tion of her idea The reception of the lady was enthusiastic, and she was called repeatedly before the curtain, The fragile figure and expressive .eatures of Miss Morris wero | Oriental in the costume of the Jewess, and she looked | the character admirably. In the first act her first de- cided effect was made when she shrank instinctively | | from the anointed hand of the priest, even though | it was raised to protect her from her foes, Examples of fine feeling and pathos were | frequent throughout the play, and » re warmly appre- ciated by the large and attentive andience, But in the | rancor passion or force which Leah, or Debora, or | sther—as the character is differently named—demands, | | her deficiency was plain. The pe of ‘Joseph! Jo- a seph!”’ with which Mme jauschek thrilled all listeners when the Jewess is repulsed | from the door of her lover, was not uttered by Miss Morris with any exceptional energy, and the famous curse, which ends the third act, was lacking in intensity and power. In brief, Esther, at loast as it was porformed lust night, doos not seem to us to bo one of her best personations, nor do we think it adapted to her peculiar and undoubted abili- stitl better—although their positions were so utterly di{forent—enabling her to display a rare dramatic tal- ent. Mme. Lormiani also achieved a splondid success by the fecling and pathos with which she invested her part. M. albert, as Jacques, and M. Mezieres as Pierre Frochard, were perfect'im thatr re- spective parts, the make-up of the latter as the knife d scissors grinder being especially fine, The brilliant audience in attendance and the constant enthusiasm displayed tend to the belief that if the piece were to be performed for seven weeks instead of seven nights, as now promised, it would still be a grand success, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Hans von Bilow gives @ piano recital to-night at Plymouth church, Brooklyn, Carl Rosa has achieved an unprecedented success in London with his new English Opera Company. Wachtel sang the réle of Manrico last night in “TI Trovatore”’ atthe Academy of Music before an im- mense audience, Mr. Jerome Hopkins’ piano-lecture concert yester- day, at the opening of the iadies’ select orpheon classes (to moet Monday afternoons at half-past three o'clock) was a decided success, and was attended bya refined and intelligent audience. This marriage of speech and piauo playing by Mr. Hopkins is an unde- niable novelty and deeply interested all, During the exercises the pianist paid a glowing tribute to the great Von Bilow, whose tickets he said would be cheap at $20 apiece instead of at $1 or $2. Mr. G. L. Fox is now making his farewell appearances before the New York public. In the euphemistic guage of a letter from the management of Booth’s Theatre, “his physicians are not now so earnest in their protests against his withdrawal,’? doctors, whose names are not given, do wisely to dis- continue their bitter opposition, and that Messrs. Jar- rett & Palmer are judicious in deciding to close Mr. Fox's engagement on Saturday evening. The health or the eelebrated clown requires his retirement from the stage, upon which he is now more meiancholy than amusing. Mr. George Fawcett Rowe will appear next week as Micawber, in his own admirable drama of “Little Em'ly.”” ROSSI AND GRAU. WHY THE ITALIAN TRAGEDIAN DID NOT VISIT AMERICA—HIS FRANK LETTER TO MR.
