Generar ButLer does not seem to have yet mace up his mind in the choice of a party, In aspeech at North Adams a few evenings ago he declared that he did not ask for support as a republican, or a democrat, or a nationalist, or a greenbacker, or a workingman, but as a re- former to purify the State government.

At New Orleans aud Memphis the situation is very bad and there is no indication of « change for the better. The former city sends an appeal for help to the Chambers of Commerce all over the country, which we have no doubt will be generously an- swered, The authorities at Washington will, it is to be hoped, put forth every effort possible to relieve the distress of the suftering communities, Whatever action they may take will assuredly ve indorsed by Congress.

Tomorrow the same condi- tions are likely to prevail, followed toward night by increasing cloudiness and threatening indicat: NE Business Prospects. The two officers of the national govern- ment who should be best qualitied to Speak with authority on the subject have quite ré- cently made confident predictions that the long night of commercial and industrial distress approaches its end and that the country is in the bright dawn of a new era of prosperity. We refer, of course, to the sanguine hopes expressed by Secretary Sherman in his speech at Mansfield and to the envouraging expectations put forth by President Hayes in his elaborate address on the fair grounds near St. Paul. The President has spoken in an equally hopeful tone in most of his minor speeches during his present trip to the Northwest. We be- lieve that there is a great deal to justify the anticipations of the President and Sec- retary of the Treasury respecting the imme- diate business ‘uture, although we might take exception to some of the reasons as- signed by the President for his opinion, The President deals too much with mere history and has a fecble grasp on the facts of the immediate situation. He parades the steady reduction of the public debt since the close of the war; but inasmuch as that reduction has continued during the five years since the panic it is no more an argument for a brisk re- vival of business this year than it would have been last year or the preceding year. The same remark will apply to his demonstration that the annual interest on the national debt is steadily decreasing, that a smaller proportion of the debt is held abroad and that our exports are in excess of our imports. We have been moving steadily in all these directions for the last three years ; but Mr. Hayes does not inform the country why a brilliant business revival should come in at just this stage of a long and pretty uniform experiment, We do not dispute the soundness of Mr. Hayes’ opin- ion, but the sufficiency of his reasons. We, too, believe that business has passed the lowest point of stagnation and is certain to improve, although we expect no sud- den and brilliant rebound. The moderate and stable prosperity which pfobably awaits us will come like the slow starting of a heavy train of cars after it has been brought toa dead stop. The reasons assigned by President Hayes for expecting a general and immediate re- vival of business are really sound reasons for expecting the perfect success of the re- sumption of specie payments. We have no doubt that when resumption comes in January next it will, to borrow one of Mr. Lincoin’s phrases, ‘‘come to stay.” In this view President Hayes’ statistical exhibits are important. He showed in detail that we «we selling a great deal more to foreigners than we are buying of them. It thence follows that the coin of the country will not be drained away to discharge mercantile balances. Mr. Hayes also repeats the striking and most gratify- ing statement of Secretary Sherman in his Mansfield speech that the amount of our national bonds held abroad has been re- duced within a few years from eight. hun- dred or a thousand million dollars to a point between two hundred ard two hun- dred and fifty millions. It hence follows that the coin of the country cannot be drained away in large amounts to pay the interest due to foreign bondholders, It follows as a necessary business con- sequence that the only demand for coin, after resumption will be merely for domestic uses. For the inter. nal business of the country our people pre- fer paper to coin, as, indeed, ail modern communities do, so far as their currency laws permit. In England, where no bank notes are permitted below the denomina- tion of five pounds, there is a large employ- ment of specie in daily transactions; but it is only by prohibiting small notes that coin can be kept in circulation. Since our one, two and five dollar greenbacks and bank notes are not to be prohibited, they are cer- tain to keep coin out of circulation when the paper currency is at par. It is true, ine deed, that if the paper currency should be at ever so small a discount it would be presented for redemption, but just as soon as a diminution of its amount should bring it to par with coin not another dollar of paper would be offered for redemption, and the people would exercise their hubitual preference for paper money, which is lighter and more conven- ient. We believe that no banker or mer- chant is of the opinion that the Treasury will need to redeem fifty millions of green- backs, or even halt of that sum, to secure their {ull eyuivalence with coin. Now, as the only demand for coin will be merely what will suffice to bring the puper currency to par—an amount so small as to be a mere bagatelle—there is no apparent possibility of the resumption experiment proving a failure. Having this solid and well-grounded as- surance that resumption next year will be a success we may dismiss the anxieties which accompany that worst pest of business—an unstuble and fluctuating currency. There may be other causes of doubt and misgiv- ing, but this great and disturbing one is practically eliminated from the situation. We are as reasonably certain of this now as we shall be next January, when the Resump- tion law goes into effect, or as we shall be during any month of the year 1879. The country does not yet appreciate the greatness and importance of this already assured result. From the moment it is ac- complished all interests will be enlisted on the side of permanence and stability. The business even of the present year is con- ducted on what is substantially a specie basis, and everything is adjusting itself to that standard. Next year, after resump- tion by law, the country will have put it- self under heavy bonds to adhere to the metallic standard of value. The reason is soobvious that it needs but the barest state- ment to carry conviction toallminds, After resumption is once fully established a suspension of specie payments would arrest the wheels of business and cause another great panic, Our business classes know too well what is implied in a panic. The dis. turbance of confidence, the destruction of credit, the throwing of all business relations out of gear implied in a panic, are an evil which no business community will consent to suffer twice within a period W YORK HERALD, ee egies of six or seven years. A commercial panic is a greater evil than a foreign war. All classes of citizens know how slowly and painfully business recovers from the pros- trating shock of a panic, and they will be in no haste to invite a new one after what they have suffered since 1873. If resump- tion could have been fought off and pre- vented a new panic would not have ensued; buta suspension of specie payments after re- sumption would inevitably produce another commercial shock. ‘A’burnt child dreads the fire;’ nobody is going to try to throw everything into disturbance and confusion after the re-establishment of business on a specie basis, Once re-established specie payments cannot be suspended without a general crash, and the country knows too well what a panic means to desire another. We therefore repeat our conviction that the currency craze will die out on the success- ful resumption of specie payments. With a sound and stable currency the business of the country will gradually revive and each year will be an improvement on its prede- cessor. The United Pipe Lines Explain. Statements about the difficulty between petroleum producers and transporters have heretofore come principally from well own- ers and dealers, but to-day we give the ver- sion of the United Pipe Lines, presenting it, according to request, in the exact lan- guage of the officers of the company. ‘he company claims that it works indepen- dently of the Standard Oil Company ; that it ships according to order, favoring no one producer above another, the supplying of cars being the duty of the buyer and not of the Pipe Lines, and that the complaiat that oil has to be sold at two and one-half per cent below market rates would not exist were the well owners to provide sufficient tank- age for their oil instead of crowding it through the pipes to the company’s tanks at shipping points. The charge of over-produc- tion is again made ; but the question natur- ally arises, Why cannot buyers outside the protecting lines of the Standard Company obtain cars when they want them? For the transportation of any staple of steady pro- duction, like petroleum, railway companies are glad to build an adequate number of cars, particularly when there is no one to compete with them in price and carrying facilities, It is useless to talk of over-pro- ducticn while bond fide buyers want oil for which they cannot get transportation, It would seem, too, that the Pipe Lines, if really an independent organization, would itself erect additional tankage facilities at shipping points, as it monopolizes the piping business and can charge what it pleases. For the reasons stated above, as well as for others which have been sug- gested, it will seem to many readers that the explanations made through our corre- spondent do not explain as fully as is necessary to a refutation of the charge of | favoritism, Thermometrical Indications, That great middle degree of comfortable temperature which lies somewhere between the Arctic Circle and the Equator moved yesterday from Coney Island to New York. When the philosopher Buckle affirmed the existence of a fixed and invariable rule of human conduct we suspect he had the thermometer in his mind’s eye By a simple arrangement of this ingenious in- strament any observer may sit in his parlor and know every phase of the seasons and every kink of the fashions as minutely as though he walked the streets and summered at the watering places. Instead of the terms ‘summer heat,” ‘blood heat,” “zero,” &c., his instrament would indicate “straw hats and linen pantaloons,” or “fur coats, hot lemonade and skates.” By long practice and experience the student could tell to a nicety the day when seaside visit- ors and oyster stews came due, the right moment to discard white hats and ice cream, and even when to announce the prevalence of a suicidal mania, a lecturing season, or a mayoralty canvass. Of course there must be delicate and in- genious modifications of this theory in practice, This is a world of compromise, The crowds which may have been driven to the city from Saratoga and Long Branch by the cold weather of yesterday will be apt to be driven to Coney Island by the warm weather of next week. Coney Island is near and cheaply reached and respectable. The visitors who have fled from Saratoga or Newport have fled for the season, but Coney Isiand can claim back its own in less than an hour. It may be necessary to adapt the thermometrical system to another fact. Fifty degrees in the shade need not be taken infallibly to mean that the streets of this city may remain dirty because the danger of epidémic disease is past. We trust that instead of relaxing the energies of the Street Cleaning Bureau (charitably supposing that they have some energies to be relaxed, which is not altogether ap- parent) the cool weather of autumn may brace them toa vigorous effort. The peo- ple of New York would be gratified to see the streets thoroughly clean before the coming of the winter snows. Theatrical Prospects. Our reports upon the stage have this morning the special meril of variety. Mr. Neuendorff explains the difference between playing to Germans and to Americans, and tells of his new répertoire and company. Miss Genevieve Ward chats appreciatively of her success and her treatinent by the public, and has a good word even tor the critics. The interviews are varied by an interesting letter from the well known actor and dramatic author, Harry Watkins, upon the rights of actors and authors, and the need for a dramatic authors’ association. Finally we have some strong though pathetic words from those stout pillars of the legiti- mate drama, Messrs. Birch, Wambold and Backus, of the San Francisco Minstrels, This famous trio propose to revive “Julius Cwsar,” and snatch the laurels heretofore worn by Davenport, Barrett and Bangs; yet the debt of honor which the profession owes them seems not to have restrained Messrs. Wallack, Boucicault, Fiske and others from ‘adapting’ for their own houses the minstrels’ original productions, without giving a single word of credit. Itisto pbe hoped, however, that the aggrieved drama- tists will have a great run with their new ‘Deed of Blood, or the Mysterious Meat Axe” (strictly legitimate), before the adapt- ers can lay thievish hands upon it. Opera a Permanency in America, It is a curious fact that the star of Italian opera has almost, from the birth of the musical drama, taken its way steadily west- ward. Up tothe sixteenth century Italian opera was unknown even in its native land. Then the first known work by Zarlino was represented in Venice, followed in 1600 by the pastoral opera, ‘‘Dafne,” by Rinuccini and Peri, performed for the first time in Flor- ence. Many years passed before Gluck, inspired by the example of Peri, gratted upon ‘the stubborn soil of Germany the melodic growths of the sunny Italian clime. Although in marked opposition to the simpler and severer ecclesiastical music of Germany the new form of composition found many admirers and gradually won its way tom permanent position. Mozart, Weber, Beethoven, Meyerbecr and Wagner brought fresh and thrifty grafts to the ten- der slip planted by Gluck, and the new growths flourished with undying vigor. France, ever quick to accept any inno- vation enhancing its store of amusement, gavea willing ear to the Italian melodies, and in 1646 Cardinal Mazarin imported Italian opera into Paris. For twenty-tour years it held the first place in the hearts of music loving Parisians. In 1672 Lulli founded the national French opera, and for a time the native plant was encouraged to the neglect of the original Italian, Not until nearly half a century had elapsed did the more ma- terinl Britons offer encouragement to the new music drama. But in 1706 a hybrid work with English words to Italian music was represented in London, and four years later ‘‘Almahide,” wholly in Ital- ian, was performed at the Haymarket Thea- tre—a locality still memorable in the oper- atic world from its long association with Mr. Mapleson’s managerial career. By a singular coincidence Handel established himself in London during the memorable year of the introduction of Italian opera in England (1710), His advent gave an enormous impetus to the growth of musical culture there, which the prolific genius of the composer fed unsparingly by the production of forty operas in as many years, twenty-six uf this number being in Italim. The waters of the broad At- lantic seemed “to offer an insurmount- able barrier to the continued march of ‘the music drama westward, and it was fully a century later before the glorious voice of the peerless Malibran opened the hearts of the matter-of-fact and rigid descendants of the Puritans to receive and enjoy the beauties of Italian opera. Her success, spite of her bald and uncon- genial surroundings, paved the way for European managers, and many of the great musical stars of the other world—Lind, Grisi, Mario, Salvi, Sontag and Bosio, among others, made itinerant tours, with varying success in our provinces. ‘The erection of the Academy of Music in this city, after the style of Continental models, may be termed the first serious ef- fort made in this country to afford to Italian opera a permanent home among us. Why, up to the present’ time, such at- tempts as have been made in this direction have been unsuccessful it is not difficult to determine. For eighteen years the times have been ‘‘out of joint,” and opera, like other enterprises, has keenly felt the baleful consequences of the civil war. Still, spite of the warped and unstable condition of affairs, it cannot for a moment be doubted that music has made wonderful progress in America within the past ten years. There have been no steps backward. Boston, the old time home of musical cul- ture, has retained its great choral society, has built the greatest organ in the country and has established two great conservatories for musical ingtruction in all its branches. Cincinnati, following in the wake of the modern Athens, and emulating the prowess of Cincinnatus of old, has, within the short space of three years, come to the front in the musical field, with the greatest music room in the country, a grand choral soci- ety, superior to Boston's famed chorus, and is now about to open a conservatory upon a grand scale, ied by the maestro whom our metropolis has delighted to honor as a great MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1878.—TRIPLE SHHET. leader, The time is ripe for the metropolis itself to do something more than chimerical post-mortem experiments after the manner of the late Mr. Wood. In other fields of progress metropolitan enterprise and capi- tal have not been lacking. In music there should be no longer a lack of those viyify- ing elements which have made New York the mercantile centre of the country. Our lofty Academy, not unworthy to be named with similar temples in Continental capitals, stands ready for a new régime which will make Italian opera no longer an ephemeral show. The directors are willing to make every reasonable sacrifice to insure permanent results. A London manager of mature experience is willing, at enormous risk and expense, to offer to our public the opera of the Continent in all its complete- ness. Is Barkis—the public—willing? The ‘to be or not to be” of Italian opera a8 a permanency in this country hangs on the tate of Mr. Mapleson’s season here. The field is clear. Nothing, it would seem, but inexcusable supineness on the part of our public can militate against the material success of the new enterprise, the signifi- cance of which, in its relation to the future of opera in this country, cannot be overesti- mated. A New Annoyance for Liquor Dealers, Js honest human endcayor to be forever hampered by heartless iaw? A day or two ago every thirsty soul was made glad by the announcement of ex-Judge Ditten- hoefer's discovery that a barroom could be- come an apothecary’s shop without any change of the stock in trade, and that bar- keepers could be transformed into pre- scription clerks in the twinkling of an eye. But alas! the meddlesome finger of the law spares not even the healing art. Ac- cording to statute the proprietor of an es- tablishment in which medicines are sold in the city of New York must have received a diploma from some regularly constituted college of medicine or pharmacy, and pre- seription clerks must have graduated as physicians, or served an apprenticeship of at least two years in some drug store. Fortunately, however, for the thirsty and the quenchers of thirst, this law, like all others, is provided with a loop- hole of escape. Persons not regularly qualified as preseription clerks may com- pound or sell medicines under the super- vision of the proprietor. Now let each dealer take unto himself a partner from among the unemployed physiciaus in the city, and the provisions of the law will be complied with, while the tormenting Dis- trict Attorney and intolerable temperance people will have nothing to do butto gnash their teeth in impotent rage. Too much care cannot be used in complying with the requirements of the law ; for if death results from any prescription that can be traced to & source not entirely regular the offence will be a felony and the offender subjected toa fine of fromone to five thousend dol- lars, or imprisonment for from two to four years, or both. Considering the quality of most liquor—medicine, we mean—sold in New York, and its damaging effect upon human life, it behooves the dealers either to comply carefully with the law or to promptly and greatly improve the quality of their stock. The War in the East, How deep seated are the troubles that attend the present attempt to restore tran- quillity in the countries that were lately called European Turkey is startlingly shown by the butchery of Mehemet Ali. His crime was that he would not take part in the efforts to aid the resistance to Aus- tria. It is only the most imperative popu- lar impulse—an impulse that moves with the common consent if not with the will of the whole country—that can thus flagrantly override all the considerations that would have ordinarily procured respect for a soldier like Mehemet Ali at the hands of a warlike people, and in a dis- trict that owns allegiance to the sovereigns whose armies he has com- manded. That he was an adventurer was no prejudice to him in a land of adventu- rers, and that he was not an Ottoman would not have weakened his case amid Greeks and Slavs; but he would not move with the popular will against the common enemy, and he was resolute to do his duty toward his government in an honest effort to further the. obligations taken under the ‘Treaty of Berlin. His massacre for these reasons will be instructive to Europe, and not without effect at Constan- tinople. In its latter aspect it will operate in defeat of the treaty. It will warn other officers sent to the Adriatic countries to go warily. None of them will provoke a repe- tition in his own case of the fate of Mehemet Ali, and as the Turkish government has neither the energy nor the force to repress acts of this nature in the country where it occurred the consequence will be the prac- tical removal of all obstacles to a support of the war against Austria, Turkish officials will connive at what they know they can- not control and even help or pretend to help in a case where it is dangerous to be neutral. By this process the moral assent of their own authorities will be given to the fierce endeavors of the mountaineers to resist the attempt to turn them over to a new lord. Austria, finding herself at war with the people of the whole mountain region and troubled with the discontents of the Hungarians at home, has no brilliant prospect, and cannot be congratulated thus far upon her position as the cat’s-paw of the anti-Russian interests in the Eastern settlement.
