Secretary Taft 13 much pleased with the reports con- eerning tho Louistana troubles which he has received from General Augur, He says these advices skow that the troubles are ut anend, All the despatches received Were read at the Cabinet meeting to-day und the course ef General Augur approved. Tho Secretary’s ordera to General Augur were to “keep within the constitution” and avoid any complication with the civil authorities. In fact, the Southern outrage business does not, go far, prosper here, and there 1s no disposition to encourage federal interference in the local affairs of the States. A good deal of remark is occasioned by the fact that while, according to Governor Kellogg, there are serious Gleturbanuces in Louisiana, so gruvo as to lead him to urgently demand federal interferoyce, he not onty re- Brune here, byt has with him, spending their time in * Washington, Wharton, the Adjutant General of tho Btate; Ayres, adeputy United States Marshal; the Clerk of the Metropol ten Police, a body which the Goveruor cin ase at will 1m any part of Louisiana, and Badger, tho Chivf of Police. These men, who all craw handsome ralaries, would be needed, if there were Feally gerious disturbancos 1n the State, to assist in ro- storing order. ‘They profer to remain here and ask the federal government for troops. It is quite probuble that iu an excited und unhappy condition of society, Such us cxists mm some counties of Louisiana, crimes will be committed by-both whites and blacks, leading 10 angry retaliation and to consequent disorder, but it the Governor and his subordinates were at their posts of duty they could easily enforce the laws ,ana would have the usgistance in so doing of all good citizens, MR. RIDDLE'S DEFENCE OF HIS SON-IN-LAW— AN OPEN LETTER FROM MR, GIBSON ON THE SUBJECT. Mr. A. M. Gibson, of the New York Sun, has written | ‘fan open letter to Mr. A. G. Riddle in auswer'to the one ‘written by the latter to Mr, Blaine, in which he (Mr. Gibson), in speaking of the manner and time in which ho received hie information from Mr. Knowlton, says:— Let ussce. I assert unequivocally that I never over- heard the story, but that Mr, Knowlton told it to me in substantially the form General Boynton gives it iu bis letter to you—not once or twice, but severay times—that he told it to me publicly in the presence of | ‘witnesses, and witbout sy sort of caution that it should | Dot be used. Morcover, I assert that he told it in the Same open, unrcsiricted manner to almost every other correspondent in Washington with whom he was uc- Quaintcd, It was with the knowledge that the story Wus nearly us common as @ barroom jest that I printed & Mere allusion to it on February 1, 1873 Had it been so profound a secret as you would tow have it be- Heved I would certainly have stated every fact and Circumetance connected with it at frst, and not have given a mere hipt to ES apy rival news gatherer on the seont. Now acile, if you can, these tacts with your theory thas Knowlton was enabled to come to me and conscientiously deny the story I had printed, because it was not strictly accurate, Your hypothesis is tenable in one way only, vamely—tbat my knuwl- edge of the facts and circumstances was confined to whut you assume from Boyn- ton’s statement I overheard ip Knowlton’s office. ‘foe truth is, as ae. ee who knows me will not doudt, that Mr. Knowlton could not have tinposed upon me in that way, In jus- lice to his memory, which 1s likely to suffer much at the hands of indiecreet defenders like yourself, 1 am bound to say that he attempted nothing of the kind, He came tw me with all the outward appearance of frankness and told me-that he was now satisfied that he had mistaken another man for Mr. Blaine. Seeing that 1 was sull pao va oil and knowing that having un- eurthed the Crédit Mobilier scandal, | was 1p hot pur- suit of all the pablic mon in any way concorned in that tic conspiracy to rob the government he entered to explanations to satisfy me that ho was not trying to deceive me, He sneceeded in convincing me that ho ‘was not only in exruest about testifying that Blaive Was notthe man he had seen iu Stewart & Riddlo's office, but he satisied me that he was nonestly desir- ous of remedying the wrong, tor the commission of which he kw very well ho was primarily responsible. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasutxatoy, May 19, 1876, SECRETARY BRISTOW AND THE MULE cLAIM— HIS REPLY TO A RECENT WASHINGTON LET- TER—EXPLANATION AND DENIAL OF ITS STATEMENTS—HOW THE MATTER 18 RE- GARDED BY THE COMMITTEE. General Bristow’s attention having been called to an editorial in the New York Hxrato of this date, making reference to a Weshington letter claiming to give new facts in regard to the mule case, says that us he has already appeared before a comm:ttec and made a full statement under oath concerning every feature of his connection with this case, and furnished the commit- tee With information in regard to the whereabouts and the character of all the papers in the case and the names of all partics to it, he is | perfectly content to leave every question which may arise in regard to his connection with the matter with ‘his commiitee. He has been informed that the record evidence, to which he called the attention of the com- mittee, has been mado a subject of searching examin. Ation, both by republicans and democrats, and as a re- bult of the investigation, so far as it has progressed, tltbough he has not been present, he has been assured by members of the committce that nothing whatever bas appeared in the testimony which requires any attention on his part, The commitieo #8 aware, ho says, that he holds himseif in readiness to appear at any hour and make full answer to any new features which may arise in the course of its investigation, From the record eVidenco, | which bas been placed in tne hands of tho committee, Wappears that in regard to the character of the claim the government gent its own attorneys into Kentucky and took full testimony on the spot in regard to every feature of it, and that, from first vo last, including the dissenting opinion of Chief Justice Drake, of the Court of Claims, the government made no claim whatever | that any traces of fraud, either in the preparation or | Prosecution of the claim, had been drs- } covered. Arrangements were in progress for taxing the testimony of General Thomas at the time of his sudden death. As tothe non-plead- ing of the statute of limitations, he says Judge Advo- cate Goneral Holt beid that under circumstances attending this case the government should not plead it, General Bristow says that, as Solicitor Goneral, ho | never had any correspondence with the Secrotary of War in reference to the question of pleading the | statute of limitations further than that the letter, origi- | nating In the Attorney Weneral’s office and not in lis | own ofiice, which was tliat of Solicitor General, passed through his office on its} way to the War Department while he was Wemporarily acting as Attorney General in the Absence of this latter officul. His office had nothing whatever to do with busin-ss before the Court of Claims. Asa mattor of fact the statute of limitations was pleaded and Was not withdrawn while be was in the department, and when done it was not upon any lication, either formally or informally, made by him. General Bristow says he never wrote any letter to the Attorney General's office asking that tho case { the confirmation of Indian agents which they pow en- | Office and position unknown to the charter); Lewis | double the amount obtained from the bank was a mere | their money for the benefit of strangers, while the fight not be sppealed to the Supreme Court, and there is no record of any such letter as stated in this Washingtog letter. The claim was not paid out of the wrong appropriation, nor did General Bristow have anything whatever to do with passing it through the Treasury Department after the court had awarded | payment, Ro says that there is not a single statement im the Washington letter that be will not meet at any moment and finally dispose of betore the committee having the matter in charge upon the least intimation from any member of the committee that an explanation of these new rumors and assertions is desired from him. THE JURISDICIION QUESTION—WHAT SECRETARY CHANDLER PROPOSES TO DO IN CASE OF AN AVFIRMATIVE DECISION BY THE EENATE— | ARGUMENT BY SENATOR HOWE. If the Senate skal! decide that it has jurisdiction, which continues to be the prevailing opinton here now, Secretary Chandler intends to recommend to the House the impeachment of Thomp=on, one of bis pre- deceseoragfwho was Sceretary of the \nteriur before the war. Whether this is a picce of humor or merely @ threat put forward in the interest of Mr, Belknap remains to be xeen; but it is said he 1s preparing the case from the records of the public documents and the investigation bad by Congress afterward, Tuls shows, be says, that Thompson, us Secretary of the Interior, abstracted more than $700,000 ef the public moneys in the best securities and exchanged them for the Individual notes of contractors, and that was the | ast the governmont ever hud of the immense sua virtually thus stolon from the public treasury. Secre- tury Chandler says that Mr, Thompson is now living and wealthy enough to be amply able to repay the amount to tho government and he should bo made to do it, ‘The Sevate was occupied in ita dviiberations upon the Belknap impeachment articles, listening to along argument from Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, wav took strong “round against holding jurisdiction, He spoke at great length, but not as effectively as »senator Conkling, who is regarded by many as. having made tire greatest legal and oratorical efort of his life upon thie subject, and he was congratulated by many Senators, The friends of ex-Secrotary Belknap believe that the Senate will hold that it has jurisdiction, After | the decision is reached by the Senate several Senators will print their arguments, it is said, by cousent, and distribute them for general mformation. THR INDIAN QUESTION—SMALL CHANCE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF THE INDIAN BUREAU—SENATORS ANXIOUS TO CONCILIATE THE RELIGIOUS BODIES AND PRESERVE THEIR PATRONAGE. Senator Allison, Chairman of the Senate Committco on Indian Affairs, states that he aoubts whether th bill transferring the Indian Bureau to the War Depart meat will pass the Senate. No canvass has beon made of the question 10 committes, as yet, and littic disposi- tion is feltto take up tho subject of a ctiange in the present status of the Indians, while strong objection is made against the jurisdiction of the army over them. | Searetary Obandler, while in the Senate, was very much in favor of it, but sinco he has become a member of the Cabinet he hus been called upon to coincide with the policy of tho adminetration, and is now inctined to the opinion that it would be dotrimental to the tuter- | ests of the Indians to have thom under contro! of the army. He says that “if tho object is to civilize the Indian ang@muke him self-sustaining ho had better be left under the present mapagement, with the co-opera- tion of the religious sects.”” Ho added that there were now 40,000 Indiaus who wore self-sustaining. Republi- can politicians believe that they can conciliate the support of various religious denominations by leaving | the management of Lodians in its present shape , and the recent utterance of the Methodist General Confer- ence at Baltimore has had an influence here, because tho republicans fear to alicnate the numerous religious | body represented by the Conference, Tho Senators are also disinclined to give up that shure of patronage in i Joy, and whieh is used largely tor political purposes, Tous, bet the desire to concitiate the religious | and philanth§ppic sentimont and the wish to savo i patronage, th@ poor Indian fs likely to vo left in tho | hands of thjeves, in spite of the remonstrance of | all who understand the Indian question and desire an | cbovest und needed reform. \ THE Te MAKE TUTTON COLLECTOR OF | AT "PurLADELPH. ~*~ There is a strong movement on foot to secure tho | appointment of Alexander P. Tutton o# Collector of \ the Port of Philadelphia in place of Seth A Comly. | ‘Thore are no charges of any kind against the latter, | and bis record at the Treasury Department is repre- | sented to bo excellent. Supervisor Tutton, however, | claims that bho has boen promised the place and his friends assert that he has fairly earned it. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuixatox, May 19, 1876, THE VREEDMAN'S BANK INVESTIGATION—SOATH- ING BRVIRW BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE BASCALITIES AND ROBBERIES OF THE BANK OFFICIALS—THE PSEUDO FRIENDS OF THE } COLORED MAN SHOWN IN THRIR TRUE COLoRs. The House committee investigating the affairs of the Freedman's Bank made their report to-day, in which they say that institation degenerated into a monstrous swindle and was, almost from the start, merely a scheme of selfishness under the guise of philanthropy, and, to its eonfiding victims, an tncor- porate body of iulse pretences, In addition tothe speculative rings tho District of Columbia govern- ment camein to hasten and profit by the work of spoliation. Its treasury was wholly unequal to the task of sustaining the magnificent expenditures of the Board of Public Works, presided over by H. D. Cooke and controlled by A. R. Shepherd. Some ox- | chequer mast be found to advance upon the depreciated bonds and worthless auditor’s certificates of tho Dis- trict or the contracts must til, and tho specalations of the pool and of Shepherd and his friends in out of the ‘way and unimproved town lots come togrief This | mass of putridity, tho District government, mow ab- horred of all men, and abandoned and repudiated even by the political authors of its being, was represented in the bank by no less than five of the high officers— namely, H. D. Cook, Goorge W. Bullock, Wiliam 8 Huntington, D. L. Eaton and Z, B. Rich- | ards, all of whom were, in one way or othor, concerued | in speculations more or less dependent for a successiul issue on sustaining.she contractors under the Board of Public Works and a tree use of the funds of the Freed- man’s Bank. They were. nigh in power, too, with tho dominant influences in Congress, as the fact that the legislation they asked was sanctiosed and ovtained fully demonstrates, Thus it was that without consult- ing the wishes or regarding the interests of those most concerned—the depositors—the vaults of the bank | were literally thrown open to unscrupulous greed and | rapacity; the wolves literally became the pastors of | the flock, and, without compunction or remorse, de- ‘voured the younglings commitied to their care. ‘The actual proof of improper conduct on the part of the officors and agents of the bank !s shown im the testimony, The Washington cabal, consisting of the president of the bank, D. L. Eaton; the cctuary, H. D. | Cooke; the chairman of the Finance Committee, Will- jam $, Huntington; the henchman of Cooxe and of the same commitice, 0. O. Howard, honorary trustee (an Clephane, of the Finance Committee, and a few more, enoogh to constitute a quorum of nine, and a majority of that, five, held high carnival over the freedmen’s hard-earned and sweat-stained earnings, which in an evil hour they had been cajolea into trusting them with for safe keeping and profitable investment. [t isin proof that the law requiring bonds and mvestments to be made exclumvely on government securities was violated, and the provision of the amended charter al- lowing the accoptance of real estate securives in delusion und a cheat, It opened the door tothe in- | numerable rascalities whieh quickly foilowed its | adoption, by which the freedinen wero swindied out of canting hypocrites who had deceived them under specious professions of regard for their race and who have undoubtedly, dircetly or indirectly, shared in the plander go unwhipped of justice, Hardly had it passed and been approved belore the office of the bank wags besieged by real estate agents and brokers, eager to serve their chenta by getting the largest accommoda- | tions upon the very smallest possible rity having the semblance of conformity with law. Messrs. Kii- bourn & Latta, the trubtees of the real estate puol, were there and were actually appointed appraisers for the ‘bank, whereby the unsecwly spectacle js presented of ers when compelled to allude to the rascal- ities of their predecessors in the management and control of the affairs or the bank. But the committee say the Vandenburg-Eaton “irregularity’’ ia small in actual criminality cow pared with the Seneca sandstone swindle, This bubble was a fancy stock gath- ble got up by H. D. Cooke, John L, Kidwell and H. H. Dodye, by which $42,000 of freedmen’s goou money was drawn oat on worthless securities. Every one of the survivors in this gross fraud und consviracy—viz.,. Henry D, Cooke, Lewis Clephat Hallett Kilvourne and J. 0. Evans—should be {ndicted, tried and pun- | ihed to the extent of the Liw, while those who are pecuniarily responsible should bo sued for the recovery of the money on good securities, consisting in part of $20,000 first mortgage bonds of fhe Maryland Freestone Mining and Manofacturing Company, of whieh the bank was robbed by the conspirators. The committe exeulpate Loroy Tuttle from actual criminality, although his name appears in the secret agreement which was the compact of fraud with Kil- vourn and Kvans, because he appears to have been only a@ weak and unsuspicious tool of his associates on the Qnanco committee of the bank, George W. Stickney, the assistant actuary, and, after Eaton, actuary of he bank, ts shown to have been not only privy to the ervoked transaction, bat the princl- Pal actor in othera, uf which a fraudulont conversion of ‘the funds to his owa private use is one, and for which he merits and should receive punishment. * Add to the steal perpetrated on the bank by the officers, and others through the conmivance of its officers, the act of forgery, us in the case of the Boston teller of the Washington branch, and the way the ireed- men’s money wont is not difficult of comprehension. Tho report was signed by Douglass, chairman; Brad- ford, 3t. Enger, Riddle, Hooker and Rainey, the last named colored. Mr. Frost agreed on all the main points, but dfsented from some of the argument. THE FEDERAL CFFICES IN LOUISIANA—ADPDI- TIONAL ZVIDENCE CONCERNING FRAUDS IN THE NEW ORLEANS CUSTOM HOUSE, The Committee on Federal Offices in Louisiana met again to-day. Hon. J. M. Wilson appeared as counsel for Collector Casey. G. W. Fergason continued his tes- timony and gaid that the duty on the cigare which were” admitted as guava jelly would amount to about $6,500,; while the guava jelly, being a trutt, would bo admitted’ free. He stated that he was mistaken in bis testimony » syosterday in saying that the duty ten cents per pound. It was classed’as a fruit, which ‘was admitted duty tree. About an hour was consumed in quostions and answers upon the evideace given by witness yesterday im regard to the importation of 140,000 cigars which were entered as 70,000, No important point was Drought out except that witness udmitted that most of ‘his information on that transaction was derived from other parties. Witness detailed the differont salarics he bad received and the method of payment, anda was asked if he know anything about‘any fraudulent pay rolls, and declined to answer, as it might criminate himself, Q Did you over sign anv payroll for more moncy than you received? ‘Witness declined to answer, on the ground that it | might criminate himself. Afler some explanation as to how far he might anawer without such crimination, he was advised that he might answer yes or no to the quostion of seotng fraudulont payrolls. He answered you. Q When did youever seo them? A. During the election 0f1874; fraudulent payrolls were made out in the Custom House and money drawn on them. Without completing this branch of the evidence the committee adjourned, CABINET SESSION—EARL DERBY'S NOTE CON- SIDERED—THE AMERICAN POSITION TO BE ADHERED TO—AFFAIRS ON THE RIO GRANDE. ‘The Cabinct was tn session to-day for more than two hours, and the moeting was of more than ordinary im- portance, inasmuch as the note just received frum Earl | Derby upon'the Winglow extradition case was tho sub- | ject of great attention. The document was read to the membors of the Cabinot by Secretary Fisn, and at the conclusion of the reading s general conversation ensued upon the subject matter of the communication. Secretary Fish will soon reply to Earl Derby; and, while it is not learned what the exact nature of the response from this gov- ernment will be, itcan nevertheless be said that the position already held will he adyered to. The tenor of the conversation to-day was of a character to indicate very clearly that the duty of this government hes in the abrogation of our extradition treaty with Grert Britain, though this may in some measure depend | upon the British note in reply to the next dospatch from the Secretary of State to Earl Derby. Secretary Robeson read a telegram to the Cabinet trom Captain Johnson, commanding the United States naval forces on the Rio Grando, saying that Matamoros: } had been handed over by its authorities to the castody of the German and American consuls, Socretary Bristow was detained at home to-day by sickness, and the Treasury Department was represented at the mecting by Assistant Seorctary Conant. With tbis exception all the members wero present, SENATOR BOOTH AND THE GREENBACK CON- VENTION—THE POINTS OF AGREEMENT BE- TWEEN ‘THEM. An acquaintance of Senator Booth’ asked him by telegraph from Indianapolis, yesterday, If he would no» cept the Greenback Convention”? nomination for the Presidency? He replied: — “No, hope my name will not be mentioned as a | candidate. *” The only information he has yet received of his nom- ination as Vice President is from the newspapera. Hoe says he doos not intend to pay any attention to it, not regarding it as a matter worth especial notice. He says thero are only two points of accord between his financial views and those of the Convention—namely, that United States legal tender notes should be sut- stituted for all the national bank notes, and that the easiest way to bring them up to the gold standard and to provide for their reaemption is through the inter- convertible 3-65 bond sysiem, which he has heretofure advocated, A GAS EXPLOSION IN THE CAPITOL—RSMPLOYES SERIOUSLY INJURED. A gas mi one of the lower rooms of the Senate wing of the Capitol exploded about three o'clock this afternoon, seriously injaring Jobm King, a carpenter, and L. B. Cutler, tho assistant superintendent of tie folding room, The explosion was heard throughout the building, and caused much excitement King is thought to be fatally injarcd and Cutler had a great portion of his clothing torn from his body, His injuries, though vory painful, are not fatal, The explosion was caused by one of the persons lighting @ match to dix- cuver the leak in the mam. ‘The convents of the room were blown in every direction and the doors were torn rom their fastenings, an attempt to serve two masters, a thing discounten- anced by the laws, deemed incompatible with strict business integrity and pronounced impossibie iu Serip- ture. ‘They and others like them, representing both borrowe! and lender, were practically given the keys of the vaulis, whose guardians, themselves stockholders or Partners in the companies, societies and speculating rings outside, winked at tho thinly disguised pecula” tions and complicently pocketed their share of the Plunder as though they had ndt sinned against the Probibition of any officer, trusteo or agent borrowing the money of the bank. Proot of actual fraud and dis- honesty is not wanting in the following instances :— J, V. W. Vandenburg was a pet of the District gov- ernment, as @ sert of protégé und favorite contractor for the grand public improvements planned and puto execution by the Board of Public Works, The report Says the securities on which Vandenburg borrowed mouey from the bank were uot worth tour certs a bushel as salable sécurities or as evidences of debt, The actuary of the bank himsolf, them D. L. Eaton, was persuaded to accept as a gra tuity irom Vandenburg a half interest im a $100,000 contract tor sewer pipe. Eaton put in po money of his own, tncurred no risk or responsibility and had no trouble about it except to sign receipts for bis share of the profits, But he used the influence of his position to pass Vandenburz’s paper at the bank counter, and the money thus obtained was used to carry out the contract in which he wag interested as a bene- ficwry. This may not be a steal; but as Vandenburg ‘still owes to the bank, according to the exhibit made by the books of that concern, $144,164 83, which, how- over, he disputes on the ground that some $40,000 or $90,000 of his securities have been disposed of and no credit giver bim (the rest being hardly worth a contest about), the treodmen depositors have the consola- ton of knowing that they have been fleeced by an ““rregularity,” to use the polite and exeulpa- tory phrase employed by the present Commission- LOUISVILLE RACES.

TOOKER’S BENEFIT AT BOOTR’S THEATRE. ‘The largest audience ever assembled in Booth’s Theatre, with the exception of that which attended the farewell of Charlotte Cushman, was that which compli- mented Mr, Joseph H. Tooker yesterday on the vcea- sion of his benefit Every part of the aouse was packed, and the receipts were $3,612 The perform- ances were very good. Miss Keilogg, Miss Ada Dyas, Miss Sara Jewett, and Messrs Barrett, Bangs, Daven- port, Rignold, Levick and the Girard grotesques ap- d of U 4 wlled for enthusiastically ade the following addregs:— : ks AND GENTLEMKN—It might possibly be con. sidered a discourteous act of on won did 1 fail te respond to the enthusiastic, well meant and com- piinentary call before the curtain that you have giv me. This is my first appearance on uny stage ina speaking part, and I know you will there/ore pardon me for clingibg #0 closely to the pluce of exit and refuge corner for the timorous. 1 beg to thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your attendance in such vast bumbers this afternoon on the occasion of my second aunual benelit, and to give expression to the hope that You are enjoying the entertainment I have been ep- abled to provide through the Kindness of my artist friends, and are as well pleased with it a8 T am with the returns of your substantial compliment just inade t¢ me by the treasurer of the theatre. “In every way | have been fortunate to-day, Une change of the date of my benetit taking me trom clouds and rain of yesterday to the blessed sunshine of to-day. and MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, This evening, at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, Mr. Jame Lowis will receive a beneilt, when the performance of ‘Pique’! will not be presented to allow of the appear- ance of Mr. Lewis in two characters, in “Charity” and Byron's new comedy of ‘Weak Womar.” The merite of this capiial comedian are so weil appreciated that # crowded house may be considered a certuinty, The nogotiations botween Mr. Page, of Niblo's, and Messrs, Strakosch have not as yet been brought to 4 satistactory conclusion. Maas Corlitt’s rehearsals for her forthcoming season of English opera at tho Acadomy ot Music have been frequent and severe, A great deal of joterest is mani- fested in the result of her venture, Mr. Henry Carter, tho talented organiSt of Trimty church, completed the twenty-cighth of a series of thirty organ concerts at Trinity church yesterday, Buch, Haydn and Mendelssobn being on the bill. \A leader of an orchestra at a summer garden ta Mable vo full into the mistake of neglecting a répertoire or not forming a musical library. Hence he is obliged to repeat the samo pioces night after night ad nauseam. Very discouraging reports have reached us from Philadelphia regarding summer concerts there, The recitals of Mr, J. N. Pattison at the Centennial Ex- position are, with the exception of Mr. Gilmore’s con- certs, the only regular musical performances on the grounds. Itis likely that after Sunday next ‘the fifty cents schedule of admission will be adhered to at Gilmore's Garden, The warm weather last ovening increased the attondance considerably. A few aovelties on the bill would be very desirable, as well as a change in the post of assistant conductor, Mr. Edward Lamb takes his annual benefit at the Brooklyn Theatre to-night, the attractions being Miss Charlotte Thompson and himself in ‘Maud Maller” and the barlesque of ‘Black Eyed Susan,” with Stuart Robeon as Captain Crosstree and Aliss Maud Harrison as Black Eyed Susan, Miss Harrison has mado» hit tn all she has done, and her Susan is a dechctous bit of burlesque comedy. The Dublin Theatre Royal witnesssed an extraord!- Bary scene on the n:gbt of Thursday, April 20, Mr, Richard M. Levey completed bis fiftieth year of an un- broken connection with the orchestra of the theatre, during nearly forty years of which timo he bas been ite first violin. There was an appropriate performance and a presentation on the stago to the veteran, whe seems wonderlully juvenile for such a career, many of the chief citizens boing members of the committee, One of the most amusing incidents of tho evening was Mr. Levoy’s telling how he had to change bis original paternal surname of O'Shaughnessy into the maternal one of Levey. He went to London to form part of the orchestra of the Haymarket Theatre while yet very young, and the manager ineisted on the chafige, declar- yg that no London sudience would stand an Irish fiadler with such an outlandish naweas O'Shaughnessy, “And now,” said the veteran, ‘‘thoy.have to tolerate 4aO'Shaughnessy fp the House af Commona.!” _ THE PELHAM COACH. Mr. Delancey Kane’s coach looked particularly bright and trim in the spring sunshine of yesterday morning as the guard winded his horn, and the inevitable group in front of the Hotel Brunswick displayed a covert dis- position to hail its departaro with a more enthusiastia ovation than propriety would suggest, Upon the box sat Mr. Kane manipulating tho reims and skiltully manwavring his horscs through tho vehicles which, oven at the early hour of half past ten o’clock, dotted the avenuo, Seated beside Mr. Kane was Henr; Harley, and the rest of the coach was occupied by ©. J. Cummings, E. A. Buck, 1, Iselin, W. Hubbell, H. M. Casy and J, C. Furman. Mrs, Roy and a number of Jadics were occupants of seats ia the volicle, Through the Park and out upon the boulevard rolled the usual sightseers hailing 3 pat on all aiong the road wih midday found it drawn up rius Hotel, at Petham. At four the drive homeward began, and, after passing tho route to the intense admiration of strollers in the Park and on the highways, the coach reached the Hotel Brunswick at precisely half-past tive o'clock P. M., wh juite a large crowd had therod’ to receive it. The sensation Mr. Kane's excursy wo Pelham are causing seems to indicate that their legitt- mato end is in a fair way to be accomplished, and that the interest in coaching which exists beyond the water is bowmg rapidly disseminated among the American people. SHOOTING AT GLEN DRAKE, The spring meeting of the American Rifle Associa- tion at Glen Drake range yesterday was very poorly attended, owing, doubtless, to a misunderstanding, arising out of the inevitable postponement on account of the weather, of the programme arranged for the preceding day. There wero Ailtcen entries for the All Comers’ match, the conditions of which were:— Distance, 200 yards; position, off hand; rifle, any within rules; military rifle allowed five points.

Shonnard, who presented it to the association with the under. standing that it be shot for at a future day on condi- tions to be tamed by himself, The second prize, » silver cruct stand, was carried off by Henry Grohman. + on the programme was a military match, off distance, similar to the foregoing, Ove shots witn militury rifles. This was won by Frederick Cookspeare, who scorea 21 out of a possible 25, The prize was « handsome gold mili A subscription match at the said distance and under cor. responding conditions with the two former followed, ‘The entries numbered oighteon.
