He therefore offers, as an American officer who will take charge of him and convey him to the United ‘Btates will soon be here, and as both he and his family are anxious to return to America, that, if the Legation qill withdraw the proceedings begun with a view to his extradition, ho will, on the arrival of the officer, re- ‘tarn of his own accord to the United States.

For hours some of our men had ‘no cartridges. I cannot say where we shall be able to establish our lines.

A NEGRO MEMBER OF THE VIRGINIA LEGISLA- TURE EXPELLED FOR APPROPRIATING A FEL- LOW MEMBER'S PAY—THE AFRICAN FOIBLE. Rioamonn, Va, Feb, 19, 1876, The moral crusade now being waged against evil ‘doers In this city resulted to-day in the ignominious expulsion of @ colored member {rom the General As- sembly. This individual prides himself on the distin- guished patronymic of Ruffin, with the initials R. D., and he represents the county of Brhnswick im the House of Delegates. Unfortunately, Mr. Ruffin, like many others of his race, would take what did not belong to him, and for this he became the victim of @ virtuous Legisiature, He was accesed of abstracting ‘the sum of $30 belonging to a colored colleague named Archer Scott from the checkbook of the Paymaster of the House, and, sad to state, the testimony before the Investigating Committee irrevocably established the Tt appears that when pay day came Ruffin had drawn all of his per diem but the insignificant eum of $6, and this being insufficient for his wants he took $30 ol Scott's and his own $6, the accounts of both being on the same page of the Paymaster’s book. He signed a receipt for his own $6 ouly, which was al! that was due him, as hewell know, and some days afterward, when Scott called for his pay, the theft was discovered. Ruf- fin was confronted and accused, but he stated in exten- uation that he did not know what amount was due him and that he was willing to give Scott an order on the master for the missing money, would not be allowed, and accordingly a resolu- tion was offered by another colored member demanding his expulsion. commitiee reported to-day, and @ vote was taken, resulting ninety for expulsion and three against it, Those voting m the minority were two colored republicans and one conservative. The latter arose to explain his vote, and stated he voted against expulsion because of the fact that as all negroes would steal ho did not see the policy of expelling one when he well knew another'would be elected in his place. If peo was to be expelled for stealing, why not expe! them DR. WORMS TO BE EXTRADITED. Montreal, Feb. 19, 1876.

ITALIAN OPERA—“‘LA FAVORITA.” Miss Adelaide Phillipps completed yesterday a task which required a great deal of pluck and energy to make a success. Uomuing after such a world-renowned artist as Titions, Miss Philipps, nothing daunted, es- sayed Italian opera. The result for the first week has ‘been entirely in her favor, She has demonstrated that in this country there is talent enough to make Italian opera acceptable, even when the leading roles are un- dertaken Bative artists, The triumph achieved by her sister, ina role which, ‘atiida, on Friday ed to modern operatic ears, is yee vee yut grateful, was one remarkable instance. At the matinée yest day Miss Adolaide Phillipps and her company, no- tably Mr. Tom Karl and Signor Carpi, made another genuine success, Although Donizetti’s grand opera—as many think, his best wi has been pre- sented here by very remarkable artists, especially in the title role, it would be difficult to point toa more enjoyable and equal performance than that of yester- day. The grand dramatic talent of Miss Phillipps ful- filled all requirements in trionic ‘point of view. Mr. Karl was an admirable Fernando and Signor Carpi was all that might be required as the King. Mucn prai: due to the chorus and orchestra. On Monday ing Miss Matilda Philipps will make her second appearance in ‘La Cenerentola.” She is a thorough artist, and one that America may take a pride in, PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. There was a very small audience at the Academy of Music last night, on the occasion of the fourth concert of the thirty-fourth season of the Philharmonic Sociéty, Mr. Carl Bergmann was the conductor and Miss Julia Rive the solo pianist. Mr. Bergmann has been for many years the conductor of this society, and his place could hardly be filled should he leave such a responsi- die position. Anaccomplished musician, versed in all the schools of music,ancient and modern, Carl Bergmann ig to-day one of the rej ntative orchestral leaders in this country. Miss Rive selected a very ambitious work— the E flat concert 'o. 6 (““Emperor’’) of Beethoven. Although at times there wasa lack of power tn the rendering, and few pianists who attempt this work can be excepted from this charge of weakness, yet Miss Rive may be accredited with a positive success, Her accurate technique, artistic conception of the ideas of the greatest of composers, her beautiful expression, particularly tn the second movement, and her “‘at home ness” in her playing of the concerto call for the highest commendation, The orchestral works performed on this occasion were Liszt's symphonic poem u? en entend sur ja Montagne” (Victor Hugo), Cherubini’s overture, ‘Faniska,” and Schumann’s Symphony, No. 4, in D minor. A Philharmonic matinée will be given on friday, March 10. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Mr. Tooker has gone to Boston to represent Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer at the funeral of Charlotte Cushman. ‘The fifty-cighth performance of “Julius Cwsar” will be given to-morrow evening.

The Califor Minstrels begin their third week at the Twenty-third Street Opera House to-morrow. The company is a very good one, and the bill is entirely new. Miss Jennie Hughes will in a few days appear in Boston in her inimitable serio-comic songs, After this season she will organize an English opera bouge com- pany. 2 On Monday, February 28, the opera of ‘Un Ballo in Maschera’’ will be given at the Lyceum Theatre, un- der the direction of Signor Albites; for the benefit of the Samaritan Home for the Aged. Mme. Gazzaniga’s | pupils will appear on this occasion. Mme. Arabella Goddard wilt shortly give a series of Piano recitals in this city, Such an announcement cannot fail to give pleasure to every lover of music. Mme. Goddard’s reputation as a pianiste stands so high that @ recital by her may be regarded as a musical event of the hignest importance, At the Union Square Theatre ‘Rose Michel” will reach its 100th night om Tuesday, February 28, Every lady visitor on that evening will be presented with a book, bound im satin, containing a brief bistofy of the theatre, with illustrations of the scenes and casts of its most successful plays. A matinée will be given on Washington’s Birthday. Miss Louise La Berti, of Newark, bas returned from Italy, and sang yesterday at Steinway's before a num- ber of invited ‘guests, She is the eltve of Prati, Lam- | perti and San Giovanni, Her voice is a rich mezzo soprano, excellently trained, sympathetic and effec- tive, It resembles very much that of Lucca. Mile. La Berti will shortly appear in oratorio. “Pique” crowds the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and the close of this week will bring its eightieth representa- tion. Miss Fanny Davenport as tho heroine displays | great power, and has created a serious part equal to her / brilliant personations of comedy. She has steadily improved upon her original conception, and the char- acter js now @ consistent and beautiful work of art “Pique” will be performed at @ matinée on Washing- | ton’s Birthday. Mr. Wallack promises a rare comedy treat this week | in the revival of “She Stoops ‘to Conquer,” a play | which is as fresh now as when Goldsmith wrote itovera hundred years ago. The cast, which is printed elsewhere, | inclades Mr. Wallack as Charles Marlow, Mr. Gilbert as Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Beckett as Tony Lampkin. Miss Ada Dyas plays Miss Hardcastle for the first time, | and Miss Ione Burke will make hor first appearance | herein two months as Constance, The delicate and uproarious humor of this play will find Atting expres- sion in Mr. Wallack’s company. The Boston Poilbarmonic Club and their assistants gave a matinée at Steinway Hall yesterday, The clud is composed of the best solo instrumentalists to be found in this country. The brothers Listgmann are | excellent violinists, Mr. Hartdegen is a violonceliist of | renown, Mr, Gramm one of the most reliable artists | that can be secared fur a string quartet, Mr. Belz a French horn player of undoubted ability, and Weiner the best flute player that bas been heard here for many years. Mrs. H M. Smith sang yesterday aa one would expect from such « greatartist. Mr, Boscovitz played a Lisat rhapsody on the piano with brillianey and effect. A great deal of praise is duc to @ Boston singer, Miss Laura Schirmer, whose nataral Abilities a8 a Vosaliat ware savolemented by Fare artis- tio training, was another foature of the concerts of this organization. On Saturday next an amateur performance is to be given at the Lyceam Theatre for the benefit of the New York Foundling Asylum, one of the noblest and best mapaged charities in the city. It has now over 1,800 children in charge. Tho disinterested gentlemen who are preparing the benefit deserve particular credit for this means of making the foundlings feel the best substitute they can give fora father’s early love— namely, hearty sympathy. The play for the occasion is mot s Joundling, although & new one, it having been tenderly nursed by its parents, Philip Firmin and J. @. Johnstone, who think it will soon be able to “run’’ alone. It is called “The Shamrock,” and {s rebellious, and, therefore, patriotic. Major James Haggerty, who has hitherto made the comedy of politics bis study, will make his bow before the footlights for the first time on ‘this occasion. The ladies are all talented, and among the minor male parts are some whose appearavce is looked forward to with peculiar relish, “Brass” has pleased the public, as it should do for Mr. Rowe never acted with more spirit and humor than he does as Waifton Stray, and the play is full of good things, the story ts interesting and the charac- ‘ters are well contrasted and effective. The young cler- gyman is a singularly comic person, and capitally acted by Mr. Frank Langley, who might however make the part more natural by giving ita little more self-conceit and vapidity, A decidodly good performance is that of Balance, by Mr. Cyri Searle, The situation in the third act, where Stray deceives the Admiral and escapes from the chamber, 1s most laughable It bas been callod improbable, but 1s not more so than the story Tony Lampkin telis in “She Stoops to Conquer” of how he drove his mother in a coach around the back yard and persuaded her she had gone fifty miles, There must bea certain license granted to the comic drama- tist, for if the stage is only to give us commonplace events it would soon lose its interest, A good comedy must deal with exceptional events, for the odd and the ,Unnsual are its only reasons for existing. ‘Brass’, will be played every evening, and there will be a mati- née on Washington's Birthday. ‘The death of Charlotte Cushman has elicited anumber of beautifal and thorougnly appreciative tributes from the press, not only in New York and Boston, put in all tho principal cities, Her own profession will nodoubt, at a fitting time, pay the bonors due to the memory of the great tragedienne, Mr. Barrett’s touching letter, which wo printed yesterday, spoke for handreds of his com- panions, The estate of Miss Cushman is valued at $600,000. This is a very large sum to accumulate by Personal offorts on the stage without resorting to the- atrical management, but it must be considered that for many years Miss Cushman has not played for less than $500 a night, and that she sometimes received more. | The disposition of her estate is as yet, of course, un- known, She has an adopted son and nephew, Mr. Ed- ward Merriam, who was with her in ber last moments. The following sketch of her nearest relatives is given by the Boston Traveller: — Of Miss Cushman’s immediate family Charles alone remains. Her brother August was thrown from a horse and killed several years ago. Her sister Susan married a well known London chemist named Mus- pratt, by whom she had several children, one of who & son, Charlotte adopted, and all of whom she cared f with a sistor’s loving caro, Her mother died elgnt ys ago. Of the children of Mr, Cushman by his first one married Mr. James Weld, a prominent baker; otoer married a Mr, Eaton, and a third Mr. Riddell, Mr. Weld’s wife and Mr. Eaton afterward dying, Mr. Weld married his sist law, Mrs, Eaton. Charles, Miss Cushman’s brother, next to her in years, is ap officer of one of the larger insurance companies of London. CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN. THE EFFECT OF THR DEATH IN THIS cITY— THE NKW YORK ACTORS AND THE FUNERAL— FLORAL OFFERINGS, When the nows was received in New York that the dramatic world had lost one of its great lights in the person of the much lamented Charlotte Cushman, Mr. Jarrett, one of the enterprising lessees of Booth’s Theatre, telegraphed to Manager Orlando Tompkins to learn when the funeral would take place, in order, if | the time should render it possible, to engage a special train and convey Messrs. Barrett, Bangs, Davenport | and the entire company to Boston, in order that they might assist at the mournful ceremony. The answer, | however, being Monday (instead of to-day) prevented the company from carrying out this happy thought, as their doing so would interfere with to-morrow night’s engagements, THE PLORAL OFFERINGS, At the establishment of Messrs, Welterle & Bebus, florists, Broadway, thore were finished two magnificent | floral offerings as tributes of respect to the memory ot the deceased actress. One of these is the offering of Messrs. Jarrettand Palmer. It consists of a bed of white roses, measuring four feet long by two and a half feet wide. From the centre of this rises a green floral column, surmounted by a crown of variegated flowers, on the top of which crown there is a beautifully worked cross to the purest of white flowers. In the centre of the lilly white bed are the words, “Ware ikee well’’ worked in delicate tinted violets, Mr. Lawrence Barrett sends a delicate memento, = It 16 a large, circular shaped, moss-covered basket, out of the centre of which rises a sheaf of wheat, bound round with a gold band and the whole is thoughtfully entwined with autumn leaves. This is intended to con- vey the beautiful idea that the departed actress had reached the rich autumn ofa well-spent life, and had been harvested into the lap of eternity by the hand of Time, Mr. Joseph H. Tooker, who left here last night for Bos- ton, carries with him these tokens of respect for the lost star of the American stage, as also an appropriate offering of his own’ to the genius of Charlotte Cushman, itn the form of @ laurel crown, bound with a simple tie of white satin ribbon, What token could better typify a man’s esteem and regard for a departed and much ad- mired country woman? Refore sending the floral offerings away they wére photographed at 0'Neil’s Broadway studio. ‘The flag on Booth’s Theatre was huif-mast high al yesterday afternoon. ‘The funeral of the late Charlotte Cushman will take place at King’s chapel, Boston, at twelve o'clock noon, on Monday. The Cushman School Bullding, named for the deceased, will be draped in mourning and the school will attend the funeral in « body. CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN ESTATE. .

The noon meeting yesterday had an attendance of about 5,000, The meeting opencd with the singing of the 116th hyma— Come, Thon fount of every blessing. Rov. Mr. McAllister presided, and, after the singing, he offered an earnest prayer. The 117th hymn was then sung. Mr. McAllister rose and sai “You are probably aware that our brethren who are accustomed to lead us in these meetings are to-day taking their customary | Saturday rest, Gladly do we concede it to them, and, | instead of deploring their absence, wo should pray that God will endow them with grace from on bigh and at them for the morrow’s work.

OBITUARY. JUDGE ELBERT HERRING. The death of Judge Elbert Herring, which took place on Wednesday, at his residence, in this city, was 4 quiet termination of a remarkable career. If Judge Herring had lived till next July he would have been ninety-nine years old. He was born on the 8th of July, 1777. His recollection ran back to the time of the Revolution, He recalled to a correspondent of the Hmnap iast April his recollection of a baggage wagon belonging to the Revo- Jution that went through the town in which he lived. He came to this city ag a ehild, and lived here continu- ously from 1790 till the time of his death. When he | first remembered New York it was built up only so far | as Ann street, All beyond that was open country. Our | wealthy citizens lived in Wallstreot, The old Bridewell stood where the City Hall Park now im The first Mayor, whose term of office he remembered, was James Duane, who was chosen in 1784 and retired in 1789. The population of the city was then not more than 25,000, and most of the houses were but wo stories high; very fow were three stories. Where the Henatp office now stands was a suburb, and the prin- cipal theatre was on John street. His recollection of the best actors was of Hallam and Hutchinson. Which of the Hallams attracted tho attention of the young law student is not known, but it 1s supposed it was A. M, Hallam, Jr., who first made bis appearance in 1795, The richest man in New York at that time was Mr. Desbrosses, for Mr, Astor was quietly living at the outset of his mercantile career, and had not become known as the possessor of the stupendous fortune which has become one of the institutions of the country. Judge Herring studied law with Judge Samuel-Jones, after having been educated in Princeton College. Tho President of Princeton at that time was John Witherspoon, the sturdy old Presbyterian divine, who signed tho Declaration of Independence, tho descendant of John Knox and one of the fathers ot Preabyterianism in America A ifying compli- ment was paid to Judge Herring in later days of his life by the visit of the graduates of inceton Coll to him as the oldest surviving graduate-of any colleg in the count Judge Herring took an active part in litics at the time when Aaron Barr and Alexander milton controlied fortunes of the State, The Judge was admitted to the Bar in 1799, He wasa friend of amilton, and alway: ke of him as “Colonel” Ham: ton, Burr he and carried to the grave the resentment of those earlier days. His especial friend ‘nd political colaborer was Do Witt Clinton, whom he knowledged to be the greatest man known to New York. “He hada recollection of Washington asa lad. He said that one day walking on Pearl streot, with a schoolmate, Washington was seen to cross the street, walking alone, He crossed the street with his friend, followed bim down Pearl street as fur a3 Broadway and along Broadway to a bouse near the Battery. This was the only tume he remembered seeing the Father of his Country. He was chosen to be Judge of the Marine Court in 1805, and also in 1817. His friends of the Court were Jobn Wells, his cousin, —Samuol Jones and William Jobnson, The ’ celebratod Charles 0’Conor was a student in his office, while James P. Allaire, afterward the distinguished engineer, was an errand boy at $60 a When he first came to New York he lived in ‘ater street. After hones | as Judge of the Court and Rogister of the coumty he was appointed the first Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and was at the head of the Indian Bureau for several years. Alter retiring from this place Judge Herring continued in private lite until his death. can Herring bad vivid recollections of the French Revolution. He remembered the im- pression made upon him by the execution of the King and Marie Antoinette. He was sixteen years old at t! tume of these events. He was fond of repeating the deep impressions that these sad scenes made upon the country and the interest excited here by the mse of Napoleon. He recalled the whole of Napoleon's career from the first Soa aie in Italy to the close, He never visited Europe, but when Moreau came to this country in 1802, after the failure of the Pichegru conspiracy, Judge Herring made bis acquaintance, and it was the custom for thom to go down hunting in Long Island together. Moreau he spoke of as havin, been an exceedingly interesting map. He remember also Joseph Bonaparte, when the latter lived in New Jersey. He know Thomas Paine when he was ending | his days in poverty at New Rochell He watched the growth of Byron’s muse, and was fond of ropeating the pe few nara made upon this country by the brilliant and erratic career of the illustrious poet. He remem- bered the first steamer that sailed up the Hudson under command of Commodore Wiswall. The chan; that took place in public life, especially in New York, during his career were marvellous. He found the city with w pulation of a little more than Swtaly. thousand, and Jett it approaching a million. These changes in popu- Jation were small when compared with the social and material chaoges in other respects, New York, auring its earlier days, was little more than a small Dutch settlement, with quaint people and strange fashions, and everybody who could afford it dressed in broadcloth and very few in homespun garments. They | were very honest people, he said, in those days, little given to cheating. He knew Andrew Jackson well, and it is believed it was from the latter he received bis first appoiatment as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He spoke of Jackson 4s a man given to bursts of temper, but whose passion was frequently the result of calcula- tion? and not tho real, genuine impulse of anger. When he lived im Washington he was on intimate terms with | jel Webéter, who was his junior in years, but yet | whom he survived nearly a quarter of a century. ‘I'he | world and its responsibilities had long passed away from Judge Herring, and the last twenty years of bis | life were really spent in silence. He took little interes! in modern events, but when questions of eircumstances fifty or sixty years old were brought up bis mind ac- cepted and discussed them with avidity. He was more familiar with the politics ot America at the time of Jet- ferson and Jackson than during the period since inter- vening. De Witt Clinton was more present to him as an actual positive leader than Lincoln, Seward or Chase. Modern events only interested him so far as they in- volved people whom he knew, or questions which led to personal interest, His mind—and probaby It is the case of all minds in old age—showed an indisposition to grapple with any events that came to him after he was seventy or eighty years old. COUNTESS DE BEAUMONT. Meleting de La Bouniniéte, Countess of Beaumont, died in this city yesterday from the effects of a heavy cold, contracted while in Europe. She was the daughter of James B, Stouvenel, an old French rosi- dent of New York, and wife of Maurice de La Bonni- niére, Count de Beaumont, who dropped dead in the street at Quebec, Canada, a short timo since, Sho was thirty-three years of age and leaves no issue. The funeral takes place from the French church, Twonty- second street, u@ar Fifth avenue, on Monday, at one o’elock. M. PATIN, OF THE FRENCH ACADEMY.
