10 ON THE ICE, DILATORY PREPARATIONS AT CENTRAL PARE— THE BROOKLYNITES ALREADY ENJOYING THE SPORT—BRILLIANT SEASON ANTICIPATED. The prospects for the coming skating season were generally discussed yesterday and the evident revival of enthusiasm among lovers of the bracing and bealth- ful exercise commented upon. A tour of the various ponds in this city and Brooklyn yesterday euowed that the gcason can no Jonger be spoken of as “com. ing,” but ts actually now in progress, and bids fair to be the most brilliant experienced for many years, AT CENTRAL VA Atthe commencement of last week the outlook for the skating season on the Central Park ponds was poor indeed. There wes no money im the public treasury applied for the winter recreation of the people, and without money there would be noskating. The diffi. culty was at length overcome and the funds provided, und yesterday a jorce of carpenters and other workmen were busily employed in the Central Park in getting the temporary buildings in order. The houses are put together in sections and at the end of each season are taken down and stored away for the next. By this arrangement economy is secured and time saved in their erection It is thought that by the end of the week everytni will be ready for the full and free induigence of the skaters. Everything this Centennial has been done ona large scale, and why may not skating be en- tered on the catalogue fora first prize in the skating records? It is not uureasonabie to expect that, at least, the average thirty-four day season will be reached. SKATING IN BROOKLYN, There are in the City hurches strong evidences on every hand of @ revival of interest in the beaithful and exhilarating sport of skating, and there is every reason to believe that the cutters of pigeon wings wil | enjoy themselves during the present winter us they have not done since the noble exercise began to de- thine in popular favor, eight or ten years ago, ‘The Brooklyn belles and beaux were thea reckoned among the most gracciul and expert skat- ora in the coustry, aud that city was one of tho first to build and equip a handsome tivk for the accommodation of those who loved to en- Joy the sport, sheltered from the rude winds which Irequently sweep tho outdoor ponds. The recent ca- lamity will, no doubt, indirectly help to make skating popular during this winter, inasmuch as a very large number of young ladies will be fearful of trust- ing themselves within other such traps as the Brooklyn Theatre while the memory of the dis- aster 1s fresh in their minds, anu will, consequently, with their escorts, spend under tue stars und in the wholesome, bracing winter air many an evening which would otherwise be passed in? the suiting aud perni- cigus atmosphere of some ill ventilated place of amuse- ment, Besidesa rink and the extensive lakes at Pros- pect Park, upon whici a!) are tree to glide when the re will safely bear their weight, the Brcoklynites bave two large and well kept shects of ice, upon the Capito- live and Union Base Ball grounds respectively, which ure flooded at the first approach of frost, The Weather continued so warm during November and tue tirst week of the present month that the proprietors had grown despondeat, aud given up watching fur the Spproach of King Frost, who was overdue us long as due distinguished captive, William st. Tweed, was when the Franklin arrived, So that when bis frigid Toyalty arrived u few days ago they were rather taken by surprise, and were not ready to receive him in a tiyle such ug their previous preparations would seem te warrant, The truth is that when the thermometer Went down with such a rush on Thursday just the thoughts of every one in the churehly city waro lastened upon the horritic scone being enacted umoug the smoking ruins of the fil-tated theatre, and which seemed to develop fresh burrors every hour. The Uapitoline Pond, however, hoisted its flag on Thursday, and was patronized by those who had spirit euough to shake off the uppressive yloom suiliciently to veck reliet in their javorite exercise. ‘be weather has continued so favorable since that day that # splen- did surface ts now ovlained—one which — wil dety the warm sun of sovers) ‘thawing’ days, should they come. Jay the pond named was well pa- trouized e proportion of the visitors Ddeing lad: ening 1 wus illuminated, ana despite the s: Hi ot snow, was crowded throughout the evening, The Union poad was in splen- did order yesterday morning, Its gates were thrown open al an variy hour, aud the attendance during the day and evening was very large, AT PROSPNCT PARK. The largest and finest skatiog ponds on Long Island are those of Prospect Park, ‘ihese are ceretuily kept dy the officials uud are usualy the first to be thrown open to the public. This season, however, they aro not ready, owing to the ‘face that’ come time since the authorities decided to tear down the ‘oue story plain bourded house on the edge of the lake, devoted to the accommodation of the boatmen in sum mer and given over tothe use of skaters in winter, and to erect 1n its stead a new und more tastelul struc- ture to serve the same ends, The old building was pulled down and work begun upon the new one, but it bag not yet been comp , and the Park missioners bave issued strict orders to allow one to sxate there uutil the house shall havo been finished, The large Ike, however, is now bemg cleared, and will Ve opened temporarily to the public on Wednesday, When the building sball be fisted the small lake will ve putin order, will have to retire to it, as the large lake ts roserved for the use of ice boats, base ball, curling, &. There will be a gaie of base bull pluyed there on Saturday afternoon, and there will probabiy be several curling matches this week. UNION POND. This pond has for many year: of resort tor the William-burgers, it being located just ‘within the borders of the Eusterr District. It was opened tothe public yesterday, and the attendance was such as to justily the expectation that the present Feason will be one of the most brilliant aud successiul experienced for many yeurs. Every pi “ation bits been made to render the sport as enjoyable as possible by rendering the conditious Urst class in every respect, Rnd there 1s no doubt the public will repay the cost by a hearty patronage. CAPITOLINE LAKE. The skating on this well-known lake ts excellent and bas been for more than a week. The attenvance is quite ni cuatly of ladiea. This 1s al- ways the tirst Jake in tu for skating, owing bo the ut wot being more than from twerve to filten tnebes ucep An the deepest part. Consequently a bigger risk cau be tuken, as the smaliest child that uses skates could mot get drowned if it were to break through, THE RINK. The Rink on Clermont avenue on the Hill, which bas ot been used tor the purpose for which it was erected during the past twi 13 being altered to serve its original purpose this winter. ‘Ihe floors which were been iaid down during iis occupancy as a summer gar- den, asa prize ring, atemple tor Moody and Sankey and’a politica! wigwam, have been removed, and a glit- Jering sheet of ice will Suon take its place. Ou the whole, brooklyn offers great advantages to the lovers of skating, aud the sport will tind as many followers and its higuer jorms as brilliant exponents Shere as th any city iu the Unio: en a prominent placo SKATING IN THE PARKS, To tux Epirox ov tux Hyraip: As the weather, but pot the Park funds, {a favorable for skating this winter, I think that the following plan ‘Would succeed very well in getting money tor the om- loyment of men to attend to the pond:—Suppose all jew York skaters should make a voluntary subscrip- tion to be sent to you and to be used exélusivel the pond.

AMUSEMENTS, EDWIN BOOTH aS OTHBLLO. “Othello” was played last night at the Lyceum Theatro before a very well pleased audience, It is one of the most dificult of all Shakespeare's pla: “{lamlet’? might be said to play itself, so rich 1 it in philosophy and poetry, but “Othello” is full of pas- sion, and illustrates frequently the celebrated step from the sudlime tv the ridiculous, Othello is not generally considered one of the best of Mr, Edwin Booth’s personations, yet it has been greatly improved recently. It is original, powertul, full of delicacy, and he makes the great point of ex- pressing love rather than hate. Many Othellos make | the mistake of subordinating their love to their jeal- ousy. Mr, Booth does not, The passion of | Othello surpasses even that of Romeo, and ; it is probably the most profound emo. | tional tragedy that Skakespearo ever wrote. Mr, Booth has greatly Improved his personation, It has more breadth and power than it possessed in for- ter years. Inthe third act he was particularly fine. | The exquisite soliloquy, “Ub, now forever farewell the tranquil mind!” was beautilully read, and contrasted powerfully with the subsequent reaction against lugo, which the tragedian gave with intense power, The fittn et, Which 13 in Itself a tragedy, was mugnificently | acted, and the new effects which Mr, Booth intro | duced were enthusiastically received. He was called before the curtain again and again, To-night he will appear as Lago, The performance was generally good, Mr. Frederic Robinson gave u very spirited representation of lugo, which was only injured by excessive force, and Mr. Hardie gratified us with a photograph of the serious phases of Cassio’s character, Miss Clara Jennings was a very agreeable Desdemona, and Emilia was effec- tively rendered by Miss Jennie Carroll. STEINWAY HALL, An entertainment was given in bebalf of the sufferers from the Brook!yn Theatre fire last evening at Stein- way Hall, The foliowing was the programme:— 1.

GERMANIA THEATRE, “Der Zigeuner” (Tbe Gipsy) and “Heinrich Teine’” Were che two comedies presentod last evening at tne Germania Theatre, Heinrich Heine” affords a vivid picture of certain repulsive social phases of German liftewhich are as true of the Vatterland of to-day as they were tilty years ago, The rich Jewish baoker still looks down upon the poor impractical struggling poet quite as much as Heine’s uncle despised his genius cf a nephew. Mels’ comedy introduces, be- sides, Some original and intensely comical characters, such as Hirsch, the Jewish chiropodist and lottery agent, Mr. Freeman played this part with wo realism and truth worthy of the highest praise, The cupidity, cunning and dry hawor ot the caustic, coretous, money-grabbing Jew were never more laaghwbly and strikingly portrayed. Herr Radelburg, who essayed the part of Heine, is usually a good ut he suffered'from a sickly, mawkish style ch suggested only the silliness and pot tho natural grandeur of the poet. “AR MATTERS. THE SEARURY COLLECTION. There was placed on exhibition at the Kurtz Gallery, yesterday, asmuil bat valuable collection of pictures preparatory to their sale at public auction, There are in all some eighty pictures, the majority belong- ing to Mr, Charles Seabury, of Boston, and some tew to Mr. Wollf, of New York, There are very few poor pictures in this collection, and there are somo remarkable ones.

M. T. HUNTER. OPINION OF THE EMINENT VIRGINIA STATES- MAN—HE HOLDS THE RIGHT OF CONGRESS TO GO BEHIND THE RETURNS TO BE CLEAR AND INDISPUTABLE, Ricumonp, Dee. 9, 1876. To tue Eprtor or Tue Heraup:— Five or six days ago 1 received a letter from your correspondent asking my opinion as to the duties of the two houses of Congress 1m counting the electoral votes for President. 1 was much engaged at the time, and having been long out of the political world I thought it best to leave it to others more actively engaged in Politics to discuss these questions, and not to withdraw my attention from other matters which engage me just now. But the question is becoming so important and portentous that it bas occurred to me this morn- ing that no good citizen should witbhotd his opinion on this subject if asked If ‘the beginning of the end” has not already occurred in tho outrage on popalar rights which has been recently committed by the President and other officials in three of the weaker States, it is time that the lovers of pop- ular sovereignty and our old form of government wero uniting to interpose for the defence of the Union aud the right of the people to govern themselves and elect their own President. How this can be preserved without the right of Congress to go behind the returns of Presidential electors and ascertain the number of votes, aud how cast in the recent election, 1 do not wellsee, If it bo the duty of Congress to “count” the votes given lor President, they certainly must have the power to ascertain those whom they are to count; and how are they to do this unless hey have the power to go behing whe re- turns? It is the exclusive interest of the State to know if the voters were qualified, but The whole people of the United Stutes ure interested to know how many votes were cast and to what per- sons given, for there are facts which touch the ques- tion of the election of the President, who is the officer of all, Who so fit to examine into those questions, if doubtiul, as the Congress who are the united repre- sentatives of the whole people? How elseare the peo- ple to be mude certuin as to the nian truly elected to that most important of all these oilices? A POWEH If NOT GIVEN IN TERMS TO i sthere be uo mode of re these results unless there be power in Congress to go Letind the returns the inference is uot only fair but necessary that such a power 18 to bo implied. ‘fo make this implication equal to the exigency itis Tequisite; ub to Vest this power in "Con. gress, which represents the whole peuple in Umes of deep popular excitement, or of utter corrup- tion in a Stale, a strong temptation to retorn this vuio Jalsely might exist in a particular State, when, as ab present, # sing’e electoral vole might change the char- acter of the President and of Executive policy. Times may be apprehended when there might be danger of a | Slate yieding to sucha temptation if the opportunity were given ib With power in tue Congress to detect aod preveut it If the power does not exist now in Congress there 18 none to prevent or check such an abuse If the State were to counive at it, To learn the quewtion of time in this matter uuder the supreme Control of the representatives of the whole peopie, ibe constitution provides that ‘the Congress may veter- mine the Lime of choosing the electors and the duy of giving their votes, wuich day shall be the same throughout the United States” (fourth section, secoud article), ‘A WIDE SCOPK OF CONGRRSSIONAL POWERS. But that Congress may pass guch laws ag suall ena. Die 18 to count the vote of the Presidential electors 1s plain from the provision that it may make all laws which are necessary und proper for carrying mio exe- cution the foregoing powers and all other powers vested by the constitution tn the government of the United, States, or in auy department or ollico thereol. Jt may pot only pass all laws necessary or proper to execute the granted powers, but pass such ay may bo necessary to discharge a granted duty or necessarily supplementary to execute a function where the grant ig not of itself complete in terins. Under this power Congress may make the laws which are necessary to enuble tt “to count the vote.” As all the States are interested in counting truly the vote for President, so that duty and the cans necessary to discharge it ought to be confided to the Congress of the whole. The place of ‘casting’? the vote for the Sta and perhaps @ manner” of doing it, most peculiarly concerns the State itself, to whom, perhaps, it would be proper to confide those duties, but to ascertain who are legally chosen us elec- tors 1s the peculiar duty of Congress, which cannot be executed unless tt has THE RIGHT TO GO BRMIND THE RKCORDS. T hold, there ore, that itis not only their right but their duty, if it be necessary to do 50; if that be neces- sary to enable them to know who are entitied to cast tho votes tor s’resident. Tho bighest of all rights which a Logigiatare pussesses is to provide against a archy, it, without such action, it would ensue, Could’ anything be more likely to lead to this than a contested Presideutial election without the means to settle it truly and justly? = If the right of eeli-detonce, to protect your lite, be a law of nature, is not the right to defend the life of society, the existence of u State, still more un- doubied? For ali these reasons I believe the right of Congress to go behind the records is indisputable, and do wot think it necessary to investigate the question as tu the existence of the joint rule which some seem to think so important. The right of Cong to go ‘behind the records” to ascertain whom they are to count I hold to be indisputable and founded upon higher considerations than those of rule. It is a question which touches tho peace and existence of the country which the constitution itself afurds the means of deciding. Very respectfully, RM. T. HUNTER, THE PRESIDENTIAL BETTING. ‘The excitement among those iuterested, following the announcement that Morrissey & Co, had *‘deciared off” all pools bought at their place on the genoral result of the Presidential election, still continues, Not alone 18 the feverish condition of the betting pulse observed at the pool marts in this city, but in hotels and the scores of other places where the fraternity are wont to daily congregate, the subject 1s warmiy discussed, As to the right of Morrissey & Co. to take the step they have, there are many opinions, Betting men are, human, and, therefore, a little seltish, 80 those who are getting the best of the bargain by the decision in question feel very jubilant, while others denounce it in unmeasured terms, A tour yesterday afternoon among those who make this sort of specula- tion a means of livelihood, and those of a sporting turn of mind who “like to bo 4 little interested” in every event of chance, gave the curious-minded an idea of the feeling in the c: MORRISSKY & CO.’S ACTION DENOUNCED. Said one prominent betting individual who generally has the tside track of every good thing, “Why, by what right do Morrissey & Co, assume to become tho judges in this matter? Who gives the pool selier the authority to take such a stand? Itisatunny thing, and there can be no other rexgon to my inind than they were forced to do it to protect themseives from serious losses. Never to the history of pooling in this country have partics thus holding money in trust dared to commit such a high handed outrage. The proper authorities at Washington mast decide this matter, aud my saad will be lost or won by that de- cision. THE OTHER POOL SELLERS. Such is the sample of the poo! room talk, take it for What it 18 worth. As for the influence which Morris. sey & Co.’s action will have upon the Jobnsous and Kelly, Bliss & Co. the otuer large poul 6 wo a yet dificult to determine, From excellent authority, these firms are inawn unpleasant predicament. All reports tothe contrary nowwith- standing, at least ono of the firms “cannot see by what authority Morrissey & Co. have decided how the money deposited in trust with them shall go.” Nor coaid the samo individual tmagine why “they coliect the two per cent commission when bets are ‘declared off.” Not until the decision of Morrissey & Co. had a single one of the buyers called upon him to dis. cuss the question of drawing bismoney, But since then they have bad numerous calis upon the suby and threats of suits come thick and fast, Thus tt held there must be trouble when the 4.h of March comes, Unless all bets are, meanwhile, “of,” u holder of a winning ticket will want his money, and he must be paid, “But, suppose,’’ continued the pool- seller, “the !oser also comes in with fis card aud says, ‘Give me that,’ then something like the lollow- ing must occur :— “What will I do that for?” ‘Why, Morrissey & Co. deciared all bets off, and you I. sh 5 at’s the way it will work, and the same annoy- axce will be experienced trom Maine to Calitoroia, mark my words.’?

DEATH OF THE BURGLAR SHOT BY YOUNG GREACEAN—HE REFUSED TO INFORM ON HIS CONFEDERATES, The burglar who was shot while robbing the house of Mr. John Greacean, at Rye, Westehester county, about mianight on Saturday, and who subsequently gave his name as George Keiser, died in White Plains Jail on Sunday evening after suffering intense agony from his wounds, He resolutely refused to the last to state who his confederates were or to divulge anything that might lead to his own identity. While sinking rapidly on Sunday afternoon he sent for Deputy Sheriff Craig, and told bim be could find several pawn tickets by ripping the lining of his (Keiser’s) ves. Among the tickets found was ove which represented a coat pawned May 22 for $4 50, also one of a shawl pledged at Simpson’s, in the Bowery, on December 2 tor $6. On being asked by the Deputy Sheriff to state to whom thege articles belonged, the dying man only re- plied by a shake of the bead to intimate that he re- fused to tell, At bis request Rev. Father SPElroy was called in, and from him the dying man received the last rites of the Church, He died almost immediately afterward. Among the effects found on the deceased were a silver bunting caso watch, baving the letters “M. M engraved on the front case; a patty knife, such as is used by glaziers, and what is believed to have been used by the deceased in opening window sashes; also a postal card ‘bearing the printed designation of a Ger- man association 1» New York, The card was partially torn, aud was addressed to “‘— Loenberg,” in this city, THE INQUEST. At the Coroner’s inquest the principal witness was Edward J. Greacean, who shot the burglar, and whose testimony mainly corroborated the xccount of the aflair us published in the Hxnatv last Sunday, It also appeared from the evideuce that the house of Mr, Greacean bad been entered in the bight time by burglars some months ago, when pistol shots were exchanged with toe intruders, who suc- ceeded in making good tueir escape. ‘This was tho reason why young Mr. Greacean hud concluded to keep a loaded shot gun near bis bed at night. A verdict of justifiable king was promptly rendered t In response to a telegrain sent by Sher: penter to acting Superintendent Jilks yesterday afternoon an oflicer was sent (roi Police Headquarters to White Piains for the purpose of ideatitying, If pos- sible, the dead burglar; but the detective jailed to recogmiza the remains It 1s confidently believed, however, that the deceased, who bad lost bis right eye, was'a thief who had Jormerly Qyured in the Six- teenth ward.
