THE TRACE NEGOTIATIONS. ‘Tye Paris correspondent of the Times telegraphs the following :—The Porte’s frst reply to tne Powers is a flead letter, The Porte’s second reply is now officially known, I believe, and this reply has been com- municated to me, Its important points are regards ing the armistice and the administration of the Christian provinces. The Porte refuses to accept the term armistice, because it can- not recognize Servia as a belligerent, but consents to a suspension of hostilities, the duration not to be fixed, provided the Servian army shall not meanwhile be reinforced by foreigners. As to the second point, the Porte accepts the proposal of Yhe Powers in principle, but proposes to give ull ita provinces the same liberties without distinction. The Porte considers it absolutely ruinous to introduce different treatment into tho pro- winces, It is willing to place the reforms under the collective guarantee of Europe. In short, the Porte says, ‘‘Either you wish [ should jake my place among civilized States and are willing to consolidate me by giving all my subjects the same laws, privileges aud security or you per- sist im exaggerating division and antagonism because you only wish to y, BOt prevent, my festruction. Ifthe latter is the case I prefer t> itruggle now at the risk of perishing, rather than ro- sign myself to a slower but inevitable death."’ ‘A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Con- Btantinople reports that an armistice for one month bas been agreed to.

In connection with the conflicting reports relative to the Captain Generalship of Cuba the correspondent of the Standard at Madrid, writing to that journal unger date of October 3, explains that General Martinez-Cam- pos was summoned to Madrid on the 2d of October in consequence of the receipt by the government of news of the recent capture of Las Tunas by the Cuban insurgents, THE CONDITIONS, General Martinez-Campvs conferred with the War Minister and Sefior Canovas del Castillo, the Prime Minister, and stated the terms on which bo alone was willing to assume the Captain Generalsbip. These terms included a draft of 15,000 men trom the Spanish army, to be shipped before November, im addition to the 25,000 already under orders. He alro demanded more artillery, and dwelt upon the necessity of a rig- orous and effective blockade to be eniorced by martial law. He further demanded full and entire powor to deal with all questions of reform and taxation without appeal. WHY THEY OBJECT. A Cabinet Council to which these terms were sub- mitted raised several objections because of the beavy expense, The moderado party particularly do not ap- prove of General Martinez-Campos leaving Spain, be- cause they desiro him to become Premier in place of Canovas del Castillo, This cause and tho intrigues of General Jovellar’s friends are the principal obstacles which stilt prevent General Martinez-Campos’ appoint- ment. The partisans of Canovas del Castillo are pro- portionately anxious to send General Campos to Cuba, PURTHER CONFIRMATION. A Reuter tolegram from Madrid, dated yesterday, says:—"The rumor of Genoral Jovellar’s resignation of the Captain Generalship of Cuba is coutradicied.”’ NO MOKE VOLUNTEERS FOR CUBA.

Loxpox, Oct. 9, 1876. The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the British corn trade during the past weck, says the amount of moisture in tho North bas again been excessive; har- vesting consequently proceeds very slowly. Such cereals ng have been carried in inan unsatisfactory conditiom are likely tosuffer further detriment io stack, In tho midlands a considerable quantity of beans Is yet unsecured, carting baving been ontirciy stopped by the continuous rain fall. In Ireland the weather has been bettcr and the cereal barvest is now fairly over. Asitas been impossible to thresh freely of lato the supplies of wheat at the principal marke have again been light, and tho bulk in a damp and in- ferior condition. Such qualities only have been sala- ble atadecline of a shilling por quarter; even then the trado has been slack. The week’s imports of foreign wheat into London have again been light, Itis noticeable that thore were no arrivals from the United States or Canada, The imports for the first five weeks of the coreal year were 3,031,842 cwt., against 7,840,733 cwt. for the corresponding period last year. These facts enforce the opinion that unless America and Russia ship much more freely than of late prices must rise further in order to attract the necessary supplies from abroad, The more sericus aspect of the Eastern question for some days has per- haps somewhat influenced buyers. Kussia’s going to war would doubtiess cause considerable excitement in the grain trade, as short shipments of red wheat trom America and elsewhere render the Russian supply for the time being our main reliance. The local trade 1s almost unchanged, buyers and sellers alixe awaiting political events, There were very limited arrivals of floating cargoes at ail the ports of cali during the pa: week. Red wheats bavo consequently firmly main- tained prices; white advanced a shilling per quarter, Maize, with continued large shipments ‘rom America, ruled quiet and unchanged, RACING IN ENGLAND.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasniscton, Oct, 9, 1876. THE HAWAIIAN TREATY AWD 1TS KFFECT—DE- CISIONS ON APPEAL FROM THE COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS AT BOSTON, The Treasury Department has received and con- eldered sundry app from decisions of the Collector of Customs at Boston assessing duty on sugars im- Ported to that port subsequently to the act carrying into effect the treaty between the United States and Hawalian Islands providing for the free entry of cor- tain products of those islands, including sugar, on a reciprocity basis. The :mportations to which the ap- peals refer are respectively trom the Domiaican Repub- lie and from Porto Rico, and the claim for free entry is based upon treaty stipulations with the respective countries [rom which the importations are made to the eflect that no higher or other duty shall be imposed on the products thereof than are or shall be imposed on like articles the product of any other forcign country. The claim of the appellants 18 rejected for roasous— First—The privilege of importing, free of duty, cer- tain products of the Hawaiian Islands, is based upon a reciprocal privilege of like character with reference to certain products the United 51 tho products of either country entitled to the ts of such reci- procity being specifically enumerated. No such enum- eration 1s found in either of the existing treaties with St. Domingo and Spain, nor is the department in possession of any information, official or otherwise, which enables it to determine, in case tt shoula deci to admit any particular product of either of those countries now dutiable to free entry, to what extent or under What conditions, and as to what products of the United States such privilege would be reciprocated by them or either of them, Hence there would be no reasonable ground of certainty that such reciprocity would exist, and the duties on the importations io question might be waived without any corresponding Lenefit to the citizens or government of the United States. Second—The treaty stipulations upon whieh such claim is based may, perbaps, be cot i to mako it optional with the respective governments to take steps for the establishment of a system of reciprocity simi- Jar to that now exisiing between the Hawaiian lalanas and the United States, but cannot, in the opinion of the department, be so construed a3 to justily the as- sumption that ‘such system is by operation of law already established, Third—The products of the Hawaiian Island: mitted free, not by reason of the treaty alone, out by virtue of the act of Congress passed expressly for the purpose of carrying into effect aud prescribing the con- ditions under which only it could become operative, and nothing is contained im the act which would justily the department in extending tho privileges of aid treaty to importations from any uther country. Another point made by the appellants is that under section 9 of the drst article of the Constitution of the United States tho port of Boston Is ontitled to all the advantages and benefit given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to any port of the United States, The provision of the constitution referred to 1s as fol- lows:— No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another. i This point is overruled by the department leaving the constitutional question, it any be involved, for adjudication by the proper tribunal, and the appel- jants must consequently be remitted to their legal remedy or to Congress for any reliefin the premises to which they may still deem themselves entitled. THE UNVEILING OF THE STATUE OF GENERAL M’ PHERSON.

GOVERNOR EEMPER AND THB INVITATION OF THR CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONERS—REPLY OF THE GOVERNOR—HE DECLINES TO ISSUE A PROCLAMATION FOR AN OFFICIAL VISIT. Ricuxosn, Oct. 9, 1876. Governor Kemper to-day responded to the invita- tion of the Contennial Comm ners to name a Vir- ginia day and have areception. He declined to issuo his proclamation for that purpose as was desired. He professes to be in favor of restoring peaco and propa- gating fraternal good will over our common country, and states that in his last message ho recommended an appropriation, which the Legislature refused to vote, He cannot believo that it would now be right to assist im the indirect application from this State of some millions of dollars to an object substan- tially the same, or cognate to the same, for which the Legisiature refused a direct appropriation of a few thousands, He suggests that to fall into the scheme would be but to diminish unduly the means of Vir- ginia in order ‘to augment your eomparative abund- ance,” In conclusion, he says:—‘Morcover, while ch @ proclamation as you suggest seems to be war- ranted by usage in some of the States, it would be nota- ble im Virginia a8 extra official and without authority, and it would contravene rules and limitations which here for a hundred years have been heid inviolable in i declining to participate officially ia the teunial exercises. m content to know that neither my sence Nor absence affects any interstate or inter- onal or political reiations or interests. Neverthe- loss Lhold myself ftreeto change any of my conclu. sions whenever is becomes proper to do so. You inform me it is proposed that the chief executive officers of allthe states and Territories shall meet together in Philadelphia before the close ot the Cen- tennial, and that such representatives of all the States other than Virginia are expected to be present. In that improbabte event 1 would not be willing that ex- ceptional absence on the part of Virginia should cause her to be misunderstood or should mar the complete- ness of such an occasion, Let no man do Virginia the wrong to suppose that she measures the vaiue of the Centennial of estimates current events by any selfish or merely material standard. 1¢ is true that, passing through a period of ombarrassment, she recognizes the obligation as one of ‘amount importance to enforce the stcrnest economy in order to pay her debt and vindicate her plighted faith; yet Virginia is no step behind her foremost sis- ters in advancing the progress, tho peace, and tue lib- erties of a Union ‘now constitutionally indissoluble, With rogretful composure, without abating her kuown spirit of conciliation, ahe bebolds the untimely sec- animosities aua reproaches which, provoked by nG act of hers, tend to mar the hoblest design of the Centennial celebration. Ali the world knows that no iaggard heart inspires Virginia. Her absence from Philadelphia shail speak tor her with not less significance than her presence. Standing be- side her own ancient bearthstone, scarred, afflicted, poor, but with her brow uplifiod, with pure and un- jaitering faith and with unbroken pride, Virginia contennial greetings of affection to all her sister To Massachusetts sho gives greeting in the name of her son who first unsheathed his sword on Cambridge common as leader of the armies of the Revolution, She greets Philadeipbig, the cradle of independence, the birthplace of American liberty, to which a Virginia statesman gave the grandest of its historig glory, and, im the voice and spirit ot a hundred years ago, she speaks for a Union of patriotic and’ heroic hearts for ourcommon liberties, for a government deriving its just powors from the consent o1 the governed, for equal impartial justice to all States and men, and ll that for the support of these prin- a firm reliance on divine Provideoce, wo mutually plodge to cach other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor, yours, respectfully, These are the sentim sentiments of the people are exhibited by the very great number of Virginians who havo attended and aro how attending tho Centennial, No over State, in pro- portion to wealth and white population, has Jone bet- ler in that particular respect.

The concertstuck for piano, or rather, troduction and allegro appassionato for piano and orchestra of Schumann, that ‘musical soer who turns bis ight within,” was played by Mme. Schiilor with that conscientious care and graceful execution thut dis- tingaishes the lady among piani But with the nature of tho great romanticist of the piano, she holds no communion. The elevated and lovely meaning; the combination of natreté und passion; tho wildly imaginative world contained in the work—all were a sealed book to Mine. Schiller, The symphonic poem of Charles Saint-Saens “Phea- ton” is a very charming work. Tho, short, brilliant and disastrous career of tne son of Phapus, in bis first and only chariot race, is set forth in measures that, without being complex or imbued with the mys- Ucism of the pew school, are full of conprehensive unity of thought and sk: o offective in their instru mental combinations, © worthy of the fame of one of the most popular French composers ot the prosent day. ‘The next concert takes place on Wed- Desday evening, CLARA MORRIS IN ‘‘CONSCIENCE” BROOKLYN THEATRE. Last night began tho second regular season at the Brooklyn Theatre, The successful play of ‘Con- science,” by Messra. Lancaster and Mag- nus, originally produced at the Union Square Theatro, was brought out with the scenory expressly painted for it in New York, The au- dience was large, fashionable, enthusiastic, and the play was applauded throaghout, Miss Clara Morris being called before the curtain at tho end of nearly every act. Little change has been mado in ‘Consctenc: its faults remain tho samo, its merits are morg conspicu- ous, It is a good play, with,» theme artistically treated, and, as the first play of the authors, who bave interwoven thcir work admirably, it deserves tar more praise than the plays of many more experienced dramatists, There is a conscience in the drama which at THE must be admired. It is not a claptrap play, but one which sincorely endeavors to carry out « strong idoa The incidental failures of the treatment of the subject, only partially interrupt the fundamental success, The fauits of the play aro the references to Wall street specula- tions, and the want of concentration in some of the acts, The authors condescend too much. Thcy bave notontirely trusted to the public's intelligence; vot still we consider “*Couscience”’ one of the best of re@éat American plays. . ‘The character of Constance was originaliy created for Miss Ciara Morris, but was first acted by Miss Kate Claxton, whose porformance at the Union Square ‘Theatre was charming. ‘Comparisons ure odorous," Dut sometimes thoy are necessary. Clara Morris will now probably mako this part her own, yet all her ability wil not destroy — the remembrance of Miss Claxtofi’s success. In all the passionate, electric, tragic elements of the character Clara Morris is undoubtedly tho superior, In the scenes alter the murder of the father of Constance she was always good, and oceasion- ally great. Her exits, hor entrances, her meetings, her farewells, her grief and love and hate, all were finely conceived and splendidly expressed, In the strength of the character she made a great hit, but she failed in tts simplicity, There is too much artifice in the art of thie actress, and it needs passion to disguise it. There is something false in her assumption of girlish dreaminess, which 18 felt, bat whieu it is hard to analyze. In the earlier scenes of the play she was not natural, but artificial In tenderness ry pathos and beauty we think Miss Kato Ciax- ton yet unequalled in this die, but she has not the power of Clara Morris, nor her astounding power of making a tiger-leap upon a dramatic situa- lion, The diflerence is that of the blonde and the brunette, tho white rose of Plantagenet and the red rose of, Lancaster. Wo may admire both ladies tor merits very dissimilar. Tho cast of *‘Conscience,’”? in Brooklyn, differed greatly from that of New York. Mr. H. & Murdoch played Eustace Lawton, the part which Mr, Charles Thorne, originally assumed, and played it powerfully, This is a young. actor, who is not of the modern society, school, in which emotion is always subdued; but of \ae older school, in which an actor was expected to boldly ex- press motion rather than suppress it, His fault was that of too much melodrama, but there was so much reality and oneray in his acting, the last act being eapo- cially fine, that he surprised the audience. Mr. Stevenson played his original part, Cyril, pleasantly but weakly, and im the prison sceno was’ especially deficient in forco, Judge Van Court was: capisally rendered by Mr. John Pi je, one of the original actors of the play, avery dry, quaint performance of Dr. Mordaunt was given by Mr. E, Lamb, Mrs Farren was admirable Tabitha, Mr. Phillips an ex- cellent Mr, Harewood and the rest of the cast was admirable, BARNUM'S BIG SHOW. P. T. Barnum’s Centennial show, comprising a first class circus performance, a fine menagerie, a remark- able collection of naturai curioéities and some pecu- liar mechanical contrivances, opened last evening at Gilmore’s Garden. The attendance was simply im- mense, for there was not oven standing room left in the amphitheatre portion when the performance be, gan, Tho features of the circus programme include dashing and adroit feats in bareback horsemanship by Messrs, Lowande and Fish, startling pole and tub balancing by the Javanese Satsuma and little All Right, amd the unique and clever acrobatic tricks by the Carlos. To these are added tho dashing pad riding of Mile, Watsom and a host of difl- i interestingacts. Tne trained auimals are well ng, and tho entire programme affords a very joyable evening’s amusement Tho per- formance passed of with considerable éclat, ana the thousands of spectators aesembied in the garden ap- peared to find both pleasure and profit in what they xaw, Tho tattooed Greek Costentonus was @ great at traction, and his novel wearing apparel was voted a perfect fit by ali who saw it, Judging trom the success attained last evening Mr. Barnum has eatered upon another prosperous metropolitan season. GERMANIA THEATRE, ‘Air Castles’ was repeated last evening toa mod- crately filled but highly amused audience. The most effective scone in this roaring farce is that in the second act, in which Fraulein Cottrell impersonates the moon- struck stage lover. To-morrow evening “Emtia Gal- Joui,” the celebrated classical drama by Lessing, will bo given. It 1s expected that this series of represen- tations, which to-morrow evoning’s performance will inaugurate, will be welcome to the cultivated German pablic, woon's MUSEUM, “Round the Clock’? was produced here last night with a powerful cast. The play is no stranger to the New York boards and occupied the public attention for along season when first produced. The scone is laid in New York, and, as tho plot develops, the andionce 43 treated to an interesting series of metropolitan sights, many ot them very faith(ul reproductions of toe orgivals, When the play first pro- duced Harry fill was brought on the stage, bis tines being, ‘Horder, gentiomen, horder!” and his ‘“pusiness’”’ tho same as ob his saloon in Houston street. Tho management hete, having tailed te engage Harry, have found an aeceptavie substitute for that live Wonder in the persons of Goss and Joe Cobura, Who give an exhibition of the manly art in the scene whch is laid in Harry Hill’s saloon Centennial visitors who have not the time or money to see tho clepbant while in town and are anxious to-do s0 may find a visit tv Wood’s instructive and profitabie, OLYMPIC THBATRE. A varied and brilliant programme was given at this Popular resort last night, Asketch entitled ‘‘Hamiet Gone Mad" opened tho performance, which couciuded with the drama of ‘Jonathan Bradford.” The Intermediate part of the programme introduced thirteen star artisis, among otbers Mr. Harry Ken- nedy, who produced halt an hour of genuine fun | by his amusing perlormances in ventriloquism. Lure line, whose Wonderful teav ou Satarday night of re- maining submerged 1 ink of water ior inree min- utes and fourteen seconds has caused so much com- ment, was also among the artists mentioned The ST er Deing eold, the heating process having she was able to remain under only two minutes thirty seconds last 4, The heating arrangements will be perlected to-lay, and it ts expected that to- ve she will repeat her performance of Saturday jast. KELLY & LEON'S MINSTRELS. At this dyspepsia-cure establishment the programme last night was very fattening A long programme gon- erally produces a longing among the audience for what comes last, but the long programme here last night, as intimated, bad a broadening effect, and the end, eferred, was quite unwelcome. The though long Only Leon sang “Kissing im the Twilight,’ Kuwia Lester thimbled the banjo and JW, Morton sang “Cranky u,"’ his own production; Quinee, ndrews, Lester {' Larridge were “Four Flats,” Edwin Kelly and were "The Two Doves,” the Clarke Brothers en- mM y Serious Afar? and “sir Dan 8’ was given by the entire company. Grorge za ballad and “The Two Off-uns’? concluded the programme, responded to ap encore HITCHCOCK'S THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. This cosey and attractive house continues to afford 4 great accommodation tothe inhabitants of the east side of the city. The management presented yerter- day evening a very exciting drama, entitiod “sitting Ball; or, Death of Custer,’? in which somo of the prominent events of our late campaign in the Indian country are brought prominently torward in a manner weil calculated to impress the audience with a vivid sense of the situation and the sufferings which our soldiers endured. The HxkALD correspondents who accompanied the troops receive a duo share of civilan glory. The stage recital of the circumstances which attended tho death of Mr. Mark Kellogg brougbt tears to the eyes of the sensitive. The company is @ strong and talented one, and the acting was applauded constantly. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC XOTES, Mr. Leonard Grover, of Chicago, is in this city on managerial business.
