HE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CENTENNIAL BOARD OF FINANCE—A DECISION IN FAVOR OF THE GOVERNMENT. * The tollowing decision was rendered im the Supreme Court of the United States to-day:— . Eyster, Assistaut Treasurer, &0,, ve. The Centennial Board of Fiaance—Appea! from the Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvanta.—Tho sing! question in this.case was whether, in the distribution of moneys remaining iu tho hands of tho Board at tho dlose of the affairs of tho corporation, as provided for In the act of sune, 2872, + appropriation of 61,600,000 made by Congress in February, 1876, must de paid into the Troasury before any division of assots je made among the stockholders in satusfaction and Gischargo of the capita: stock. The Court hold it to be apparent that tho object of Congress in all its legis- lation with reference to tho Contonnial Exhibition was to enable the poople of the United Statos to commemo- rate tho completion of the first century of their na- Mor xistence by an exhibition im which the people ofthe whole country should participate, and which had the Sanction of the government. The object, theretore, was nation; but until, tho act of ap- propriation it was expooted that the entire expense should be borne by the people without assistance from Congress. The previous acts only provided the necesvary organizations wader the auspices of the government, Tho act of 1876 appropriated money, to be paid back under certain circumstances, and tho ace cpptance of the money by the Bourd of Finance Creatod a hability to repay it By the act of 187% the asseta of the corporation were to be divided among theistockbolders only after the payment of all labil- ites, and, unless the contract entered into otherwise Provides, it is clear the United States must be paid in full before the stocknolders can claim distribation Among themee!ves, Alter a lengthy examination of tue statute the Court came to tho conclusion that if the net receipts ure to bo treated as the net profits of tbe Exhibition there 1s no difficulty ja the way of a construction in favor of the United States Tho act of 1876 requires the pay- ment of debts, and thon the rcimburgemont of the United States before the distribution of profits to stockholders, Not a word was sald about restoring capital There was no intention In the act of 1876 to change the order of distribution as provided by that of 1872, except by giving a preference to other liabili- Wes over that of the United States, The terms used Aro identical, and the statutes are rehevea from all discrepancies, without violence to the language of either, The decree of the Circuit Court is reversed, with directions to enter a docree directing the payment of the $1,500,000 into the Treasury before any division of remaining assets among the stockholders. The Chief Justice dotivered the opinion. ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, The resident to-day appointed Alonzo Bell Assistant Secretary of the Interior.

We sup- pose Mr, McCullough has added ‘*Richelieu” to bis répertoire uot because he found in himself the materials for the part, but because every Sspiring tragedian «on the = English-speaking Stage bas presented the public with more or less care- ful studies of this great Fronehman as seen througs the somewhat distorting spectacies of the late Lord Lytton, Mel!:fuous—jndeed, over-noneyed lines, pic- tureaqu® situations, a clever but easily read plot and the fuscination of the lofty central character make up a play that in good hands always | proves attractive, but whose shortcoming of groatn Wwe can painfully measure by putting the Wolsey of Shakespeare besides the Richelicu of “the man who weurs the atays."’ The scorntul opithet of Tennyson | indeed could be as fitly applied to bis works af to the man. Beneath his pen the | subticty of the great Cardinai became artifice, and hence, while describing tho actions of Richelieu, he comes nearer in reality to # sketch of another mous Cardinal, but xmaller m nzarin, Little im common with such ® character hus the virile genius of John McCullough. ence in the two oponing acts we saw actor siruggting unsuccessfully with tue mini niceties of Huiwer. It resulted in an unevenness which Was Only saved from being patchwork by the long training of the player. Thus Richelieu was one moment @ foebio old man of ninety and the next @ halo man of sixty, Ripe manhood was straggling with the tricks of the dramatist, snd chany- ing the years iustead of the mood of the character. Tt must vot be imagined tat at any time McCullough touchea the edge of mediocrity; but be bas another decade W pase and another school of art to study betore he in the Richelieu of Bulwer—a tement which tempts usto hope that ho way not herealter waste his timo in studying a branch of art which 18 unreul, however necessary it has been deemed these thirty years. With the third act came a gratetul change. As the acttou rose in intensity Mr. MeCutlough rose with it, and reaching forth ous of bis proper nature ‘grasped the real Richelieu aud gavo Q series Of powerful picturca which swept the wheezy trickster of the tirst two acts out of sight and was not lost upon the house, In the fourth uct, where the Cardinal comes to lite to find bimsalt defled and humili- ated, when, invoking sacred thunders, ho draws @ charmed ring about the girl who socks his protection from the King, every word and gosture was instinet with majesty and force. Tho magnetism of the man had found vent, and the spell which brought Baradas to his knees was keenly felt by every soul in the audience, The tifth act, recording Richeleu’s tri- umph, was well sustuned, but again at times Mevullough was soon wrestling with the unreal. It | ia, unfortuuately, a performance which cannot be noted as @ triumph throughout, but which, nevertheless, is magnilicent in the most exacting parta. Where limited talent, perfecting the minutest details, might have constructed a pretty mosaic McCullough was not secn to the best advantage, but in the opportunities which only broad genius can make tts own bis success was only measured by his endeavor. The support was generally efficient, the Do Mauprat of Mr. F. B. Warde, which 1s not unfamiliar to Now York, being particularly so. Mr, E. K. Collicr’s Baradas was fair and the Francois of Mr, Wiille Seymour e nest and patural, ‘the Julie de Mortemar of Miss was acceptable good looks, flue cos tumes and gentle grace helping her, even when tho part soared a littie beyond her hbistrionic capabilities 80 as developed, “Richelieg” will ve repeated this evening, and to- morrow expotns, Mr. McUullough will appear as Richard IL. THE NEW BROADWAY THEATRE. “The Mechanic's Daughter; or, the Curse of Drink,”? isavery temperate temperance drama, which in its mild and wholesome tnfluence rosombies gin and milk. Tho plot is lotricate, and as difficult to analyze as a cocktail, There is a flavor of whiskey, bitters, lemon peel and absinthe, and the ingredients are admirably mixed by the dramatist, The play is different from the celebrated drama ot ‘The Drunkard,” in which tragedy was pro- dominate, and contains more mirth than sorrow. Tho characters may be classod either as drunkards, vil- latins, temperunce lecturers, heroes ur heroines, One of the illustrations of the curse of drink isa sceno ereib a betrayed young woman leups into the river and is followed by her sister, who risks her life to wave her, who is followea by the drunken mechanic, who, though opposed to water, Jumps in to save them both, and who is followed by one of the heroes, who undertakes to save the three, a dificult task, in which ho, of course, succeeds, Ihe appreciation of the curse of drink was shown by the fuct that between the acts large numbers of the audience went out tn search of rout beer, soda water and gin; n boring barrooms were uil deserte: either they or the theatres must am'a shouts of approval {rom tho gulleries, The au- dience was invited to join in this festive ceremony, but respecttuily retused. ‘The actiug was good, an much of the scenery effective and new.
