PROSPECT OF A CLOSE AND EXCITED CONTEST TO-DAY—PROBABILITY OF THE ELECTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, (Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, | Newrort, R, L., April 3, 1877. Rhode Island's election for Governor takes place to- morrow and it will, without doubt, be the most excit- ing contest which has occurred for many years, The republican candidate 1s General Charles Collins Van Zandt, of Newport, and his democratic competitor is J.B. Barnaby, of Providence. Mr. Barnaby is rich and the registry taxes of the democrats are well paid up, an unusual thing in this Tepublican State. The republicans thought their cun- Gidate could be elected without any difficulty, honce they gave but little attention to the carly stages of the campaign, They did not think It nocessary even to pay up the registry taxes to apy great oxtent, being lea into a trap by the democrats, who caused it to be gen- erally understood that thoy did pot intend to put out money, as they saw no chanco of electing their ticket. ‘Tho inst. day for paying — taxes came, and ut a late hour $10,000 democratic taxes were oaid. This created no little excitement among the republicans, The liquor element has ‘worked heartily with the democrats, The fact that Genoral Van Zandt received the nomination at both the republican and probibitory conventions is, how- ever, a greathelpto him. He is a man of scholarly attainments, with a dignity of bearing which would do honor to the State should he be elected, MAJORITIES CLAIMED. It claimed that Providence county will give at least 2,000 majority for Barnaby, and should this expec! tion be realized there is scarcely any prospect at all for the success of the republican ticket. Newport county ‘Will give the republicans a majority of about 1,000, FEDERAL OFVIGIALS IN THE ELECTION. The fact that the Providence Postmaster was chair- man of the Republican Convention and bas been ac- * vo in the campaingn has done mach to disgust repub- hiean voters. In speaking of this matter the Providence Press (republican) of this evening says:—“ Tho lesson of the campaign will not be lost; and that lesson is that the Postmaster in politics is out of piace and must be rebuked Oy the voice of the peoplo when other means hay itslustrates the need of an immediate reform in party management, It calls for the ing of federal officials to their proper dutics, ing the management of elections to the people.” HAYES’ POLICY IN THE CONTEST, ‘Tho same paper adds:—‘‘The success of the revolt ‘would mean that President Hayes’ opinions bave taken @ strong hola on Rhode Island republicans, and that they mean to oppose any assault upon those principles, even when made in President Hayes’ name,’ THE PROBABILITIES. “General Van Zandt claims his election to-night by a small majority, say 2,000, Democrats are equally con- fident of electing their candidate. Mr, Van Zandt Dolieves that Gor or = Lippitt is =—susing bis influence for the defeat of Van Zandt. It 18.2 well known fact that Van Zandt was the cause of Lippitt’s defeat two years ago, and that the latter bas always held it against bim.

[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. } Wasuixeton, April 3, 1877, A private despatch from New Orleans received hero this evening and communicated.to the President shows in some detail the condition of things which the Louis- jana Commission will find when 1t arrives, WHO RECOGNIZE NICHOLLS, The Nicholis Supreme Court has full possession of all Its records, i recognized by the whole Bar and has rendered hundreds of decisions, affecting all classes of the community. Of the eighteen District Judges in the parishes twelve have recognized Nicholls; ot eighteen district attorneys thirteen recognize Nicholls, Louisiana has fifty-seven parishes; in forty-three of these the parish judges, clerks, recorders, sherifls and police jurors, or supervisors, have qualified under Nicholls; in five parishes one-half the officers elected have qualitted under Nicholls; in nine parishes the officers baye not yet qualified under Nicholls but are recognized by him as actually elected. In tho city of New Orleans the mayor and city council, the entire police force, all tho district, criminal and police courts, coroners, justices of tho peace and constables, district attorneys, civil and criminal, sheriffs, recorders ot mortgages, barbor mastérs, port wardens, board of health, board of char- ity, the hospital administration, board of hay and flour inspectors, all recognise and act under the Nicholls: government. THY PACKARD PRETENSION. No Packard appointee is exercising any official function outside the St, Louis Hotel, which is used as a State House, No official claiming to be elected any- where in the State exercises any functions except those recognized by Nicholls as elected; none but the Nicholls tax collectors are collecting a dollar of tax anywhere in the State, It is thus literally true that the so called Packard governmont has no existence out- side of the St, Louis Hotel, and the Packard Legislature loses. members faster than their places can bo filled. They do not seat men fast enough to make good tho desertions, Many members have gone home, leaving Packard, but not joining Nicholls now, because parti- san influences aro brought to bear on them, THE COLORED OFFICIALS, Two hundred and thirty-one colored officials in the different parishes havo qualified under Nicholls, and twenty-one colored men have been appointed to various offices by Governor Nicholls. The colored people are rapidly acknowledging Nicholls, and a colored Senator, Allain, Joined the Nicholls Senate to-day and made a powortul speech advocating traternity between the white and colored people of the State, expressing his conviction that Governor Nicholls would fully pro- tect the rights of the colored people. THE NICHOLLS HOUSE, In the Nicholls House of Representatives only seven are needed to make a quorum of Returning Board members. Tho Senato has alresdy such ao quorum, and the President is requested to repeat the order of March 2 by President Grant, m which case, and without moving a soldier from his present station, it is assorted that the Packard Legis. laturo would almost immediately molt away and disap- pear, as the members still adhering to it do so only because of the supposed moral support Packard has from the President, Upon the motion of the Nicholls Attorney General, all the prisoners charged with treason for enlisting In Packard’s militia havo been discharged with a lecture not to repeat the offence, They were mostly poor and ignorant colored men with families to support, ‘ FERLING AMONG THE PROPLE, With this condition of things the commission can have but little to decide, but it 1s easy to account for the excitement of the peoplo over its coming. It is not probable that the people of any Northern Stato would sit down quietly under such a condition of affairs, where a sham government seizes the State House and possessing no authority and exercising no function of governmont outside of that building, 1s yet protected in its usurpation by the moral and physical support of the federal government, DEPARTURE OF THE LOUISIANA COMMISSION— THE PRESIDENT'S INSTRUCTIONS, WasuixaTon, April 3, 1877.

In my opinion there does not now exist in that State such domestic violence as is comtemplated by the constita- tion as the ground upon which the military power of the national governmeut may be invoked tor the detenge of the State.

Under these circum- stances in this confidence I now deem it proper to take action in accordance with the principles an- nounced when [ entered upon the duties of the Presi- dency.

All the Republican officials, from Secretary of Stato to Superintendent of Education, who occupy the offices in the Staie House, express the opinion that tho removal of the troops in no way impairs their title to their respective offices, As at present advised, it is their intention to hold on to the offices to which they claim to have been elected, and Hampton having pledgea himself to use no force, leaves them, they think, in peaceable possession of those oMfces until legally deprived of them, This thoy aver cannot be done as tho Supreme Court is at present constituted, STATUS OF THE COURT, There aro only two justices, and one of these, the colored Justice (Wright), they claim, is with them, leaving a divided court, The Legislature must be con- voned and its legal membership defined before a Chief Justice can be elected, and, under these circumstances, the republican offlcials claim they will stick’? until legally ousted, ‘There is a certain stiffness among these officials that indicates the end is not yet.

Mayor Cunningham deciared that so far as the repub- lican party in South Carolina was concerned be con- sidered that the establishment of the Hampton govern- ment would effectually terminate its existence; that it-had already become broken down from internal excesses and that the placing of all the election machinery in the bands of the democrats would comp) demoralize the republicans, and it would be an utior impossibility for them to carry an election in the future, His advice to all bis coustitu- ents Was Lo accept the situation, fall into line aud go to work to burid up the prosperity of tho State, GOOD POK TUE COLORKD PEOPLE. Hurley, one of the Hayes electors, declares that the olection of Hampton is the best thing possible for tne colored people, as the conservatives can and will do more for them than any other political party has jone.

Oakey Hall, took a walk In fyde Park yesteraay, He was dressed in an ordinary morning suit, and Was accompanied by a middle aged Jady."” : The Wasbington correspondent of the Heranp tele- grapbs that there is no trash in the roport that the Suto Dopartment fas instructed Mr. Piorrepont, our Minister in London, to ascertain if Mr, Oakey Hall is england, THE RING SUTTA, Nothing new came to light yesterday in relation to the Ring suits or the proposed compromise, and, if the statements of those who should know mos ors are to be accepted as true, both ar | charm the soai, AMUSEMENTS, DIF WALEURE AT THE ACADEMY. According to our promise of yesterday we give to- day an extended notice of this opera, which it wis then impossible justly to prepare. The opera com- mences with a brief preluse curiously founded on a pedal point, Orst on the violins, then on two drums, and intended to be descriptive of a storm in the forest, The curtain rises duriwg this and reveals the interior of Hunding’s hut. Immediately atter the rise of the curtain, Sieginund, wounded, weaponiess ‘md weary, enters, and aftera glauce around, seeing RO one, stretches himself ou the skin beture the fre to 1 rest, Before going any further it imight be as well to hint to Mr, Bischoff (who played Siegmund, and whose costume was otherwise excellent) that tho old Norse- men did not wear sandals with bigh heels to them—:! fact, history has never made mention of so remarkable @ foot covering as being in use among any people ex- cept stage people. Sieglinde (Mme, Cantssa) enters from the iuner room afew moments after Siegmund has laid down, At her appearance the music in the orchestra tukes on a character of tender grace, which is a Sitting introauc- ton to the scoue about to follow. Passages of extreme beauty are hero, Tako for example the music fo her exclamation, ‘Noch schwiilt ihm der Athem’? (there is still breath in him), the exquisite phrase for the violoncello—atterward used with great effect during the love scone at the end of the act—when Stegmund drinks the | water she gives him, the music while he drinks the horn of mead after causing Siegliode first to touch it with ber lips,and the mauner in which the ‘cello phrase before inentioned is binted at aud worked in | during the whole scene, ‘Tho appearance of Hunding | (Mr Blum) upon the scene iutroduces 4 rough and savage element which is tmmo- diaiely perceptibie in the orchestra, Siegmund’s account of — lumself occurring = 8000 after Hunding’s entrance is @ fine and dramatic piece of revitaiion massively, bUL ROL BOisily, aecompanied by most wonderiul work in the orchestra In his suc- | ceeding sviiloquy, When alone on the stage, the loving ‘cello phrage already noticed, which accompanies his Meation of Siegiinde, swells by tmperceptile degrees into a wild und exciting passage as ho crieg out for the sword Which his lather said he should receive when in sore heed, On Sieglinde’s return, after having given her husband a siceping potion, she Lirst tells the story of the sword ina recitative, mach of which is almost without accotapaniment, and im the course of which, when she mentions the strange man who drove the sword toto the tree, we bear the same “Wotan mo- tive’ that we beard when Siegmund mentioned bis father. And then follows a love scene which in beauty | And passion surpasses oven the chamber scene tu “Lohengru.’? Tne love song that we Kuow +o well— thanks to Thomas—is 0: the commencement of a scene which, working little by — litte to its climax, holds the auditor — spell-bound and ip a state of constantly jucreasiug excitement anul the curtain tallson the Hight of Siegmund and Sieg- linde, The second act introduces us to Wotan (Sr Prensser) and Brunnuilde (Mme, Pappenheim), and in- troduces us, too, with an introduction that 1s pearly. as wild a8 the “WalkGren Raitt’? ta the next act. The scene is among mountains, The action vf the first part of (his act rather lags, Wown bids Briunbilde yo and defend Siegmund in hi coming combat with Hunding, which she joyfully starts to do, nying us she goes the wild warery peculiar to the Walktre” and very promigently given by (bo brass in the subsequent *Wailkuren Rit’? As she disap. pears Fricka (Mine, Listner) enters, She, in a series of recitations, which can only ve. rendered interesting by adramatic delivery, forces Wotan to reverse bis de- cision as to the coming combat and to punish the When lover of Stegmmund and Sieglinde by the death of the former, Tuis long scene between Fricka and Woian is the least interesting iu tue operu, though ligutened by many beautilul passages in the orchestra; aud be tween Wotin’s singing badly out of tune and Fricka’s semi-inaudibilily apd slage awkwardness, the tardy action of the scene was not much enlivened by tne pertormers, After Fricka’s exit occurs a long’ duet between Wotan and Granonilde in which she pleads hard for the life of Siegmund. This duet is ull of beautics A remarkable effect 1 the orchestra 18 at tho end of this duet, just alter Wotan’s exit, when as Brunnbilde, taking up hor arms, complains that carrying them with aa unwillicg heart they feel weighty—-the wildly joyous cry of the Walkure is made to sound mournful by a slight change of harmony and a peculiar instrumentabon, As Brana- hilde enters the cave to procure her horse, Siegmund and Stegiinde enter in their ilight from Hunding’s house. At their appearance the lofiy and devoted character of the music changes to a color of tender, but rather sensual love, a color which it preserves as an undertone through all the succeeding scene be- tween the two. Sieglinde’s balf crazed vision of the pursuing hounds is recited to music of a Most intensely dramatic character, music that at once slirs and yet chills the blood of the listener. As Sioglinde, over excited, faints and fuils in Stegmund’s arms, Brismnhiide reappears leading the horse by the bridle, The horse on this occasion Was nota Very woll trained brute, or indeed at snimal, unless thoroughly used to tn business iy .iwe a nuisance On the stage. The scene borween Brinnuilde and Siegmund commences quietly with her avnouncoment of bis coming death and tne giving him bis invitation to Walhalla From this comparatively quiet commencement Wagner works up his climax to the end of the act, Siegmund asks whom he shall mect at Walhalla, and his questions, each scta little higber than the one precediug, and her answers accompanied by fragments of the various ‘motives’? belonging to those tv whoin she refers. Upon learning that Sieglinde wilt not ace company bim to Walhalla, Siegmuud ts anxious to kill her voo, that they may not be separated. Touched by this devotion Brunubilde, in a passage which ts really the climax of the act, prom: to disobey her father (Wotun) and to spare bis (Siegmund’s) life, From here to tho end of tho act all ts bustieand exctte- ment. Hunding is heard in the distance. Siegmund rushes to meet him. Steglinde, left alone, wakes ter- rified to see thacombat between Hunding and Sieg- mund going on uvon the mountains. Brunnbilde appears, shielding Siegmund, and Wotan, suddenly ap- pearing, touches Stegmund’s sword with uis spear; the sword breaks, and Hunding kills him! Brauenunhilde territied at her father’s appearance against her, rushes off, carrying with her Sieglinde, and Wotan, having (uitilled the clattus of luw and justice in permit. ting Ue Killing of Siegmund, now executes yengeanco by killing Hunding, Toremember any of the music accompanying this action is impossivle. It is as wild, as burried, as excited as the action itself, and culmi- Rates in 4 pertoct whirlwind in the orchestra as tho curtain falls, ‘The third act openg with tho Walkueren rite, of which nothing need be said, except that the work takes on an entirely new color from the introduction of voices. ‘the eigit Walkueren deserve credit for getting through the most difficult music of the opera in @ manner which was more than respectable. Only once was there really a miss, and more than once ex- tremely difficult pieces were wellsung. The sierop ticon effects, “attempting to picture the arrival through the air of the different Walkueren, were not a success, After the Watkucre are assembled = Brueoniiide onters hastily with Sieglinde, for whose sulety she pleads in passionate phrases of each in turn the use of her horse. All rofuse, rom fear of Wotan, Siegiinde then in a five number requests Bruennhilae to kill her, that sbe may rejoin Siegmund; but Bruennh ovis ner live, jor she shail bear the hero Siegirid, Hearing this prophecy Siegiinde is now anx- fous to be saved. To render her safety pus- sible, Bruennhilda desires to remain and bravo the wrath of Wotan, while Siegiinde flees to a wood in which she will be safe. Scarcely hus Siegliende gone whon Wotan appears, furious and seeking Bluenn- hilde, The otber Walkueren hide ber benind them and plead for her, butin vain, From here to the end of the opera the hearer 1s surrounded and bewildered by an endiess ssion of fresh beautics, both in the volcos and the orchestra. The act finds its ending and tit- ting climax in the fire music, when Wotan, after inflicting upon Brucnnhild the sleep which shall hod her until a mortal shall awake her, calls apon “Loge,” the fire god, to surround her with a circle of flames, so that none but a hero who knows no tear may dare ap- proach her. Here again was a number which we knew from Thomas’ playing; but all these familar numbers ecame a new revelation 1p their proper surroundings of scenery and dramatic action, It is to be hoped that wo may again hear tho “Waikuere” after this company return from their travels. Yhe hard work—the work of learning and rehearsing tho oper 18 over, and the expensive work scenery and costumes, which are good, w ceptions. [twill therefore be easy to favor us with more performances, and two hearings of a work of this magnitude are very tusufficient, There is tak of this company adding the ‘Fidelio’? of Beethoven to | their réperioire. | THE TELEPHONE AT THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY, The telephone surprised and charmed the large wu- dience which listened to tts magic strains atthe Brook: | lyn Academy of Music last evening.
