Mr. Schleicher, of Texas, who lies at the point of death to-night, will be a serious loss to the House, for he was one of its ablest members. He camo here first as a member of the Forty-fourth Con- ress, utterly unknown, but very quickly at- tracted attention as a man of a singularly clear head and sound ideas on finance and other subjects, and though he was modest und unobtrusive in the House and had against him a somewhat unwieldy body, being next to Senator Davis, of Mlinois, the heaviest man in Congress, he rapidiy gained respect and influence which placed him among the leading men of the House and made his opinions valued by the best men of both sides. He was a German by birth, a university bred man, a civil engineer by profession and had been engaged.on several European railroads before he went to Texas in the year 1847. He lived many years on the Texan gress. THE ARMY BILL—OPPOSITION INCREASING.

QUABANTINE AT 8ST, JOSEPH. J.D. McGill was recalled, and testified concerning the quarantine at #t. Joseph. The negroea thought the quarantine was established to keep them from holding their convention, but the witness did not think this was its purpose. Lucien Bland recalled. He testified that he signed adcommunicatiag requesting the deputy sheriff not to arrest Walker and other colored men oh the ground that they bad not and would not excite a rising among the negroes. NEGROES suoT. J. R. Loscey, of Tensas, testified that he was ono of the posse of Sheriff Register summoned to dis- perso negroes whom, it was rumored, were massing at Boss’ place for the purpose of attacking Water- ‘proof; Register had about forty armed men; on the why we heard that the negroes had massed and that firing had commenced, between thom and our advanced guard of two men; an order was then given to advance and fire; the firing was down in the direction of where the negroes were supposed to be massed; the negroca were in their quarters, and when we fired one ‘volley they dispersed saw no firing by negroes, but understood they iad fired befoae we advanced; two or threes negrocs were wounded; don’t think any were killed: they were not fired at when they dispersed; only one volley was fired; the Boss place is four miles irom Waterproof; the event occurred three or tour days after the Fair- fax affair; none of the posse were hurt. DRIVEN FROM HOME. Frank Watson (colored) was the next witness. He lived eight miles from Waterproof, and was told by a democratic triend that the place was getting too hot for him; that he had better clear out; he ran away, leaving his partly gathered crop to take care of it- self; that-day there were fifty or sixty armed men from Onachita in Waterproof; saw them =. a fope around, a negro boy's neck ase he would not answer a question they asked him; took to the woods, being told that the crowd wanted him; there were four negroes in the woods, hiding; hid for nine days, and then went to Plaqne- mines. Witness then said:—‘Don't intend to go back, because I don’t think it would be exactly safe; as I never did anything to be driven away for, I feel, now that Ihave testified against them, it would be worse than before,” Mrs. Alice Blouat, of Natchitoches (colored), corro- borated tho statemente of her husband, given on the first day,as to the attack on their house and the arrest of her husband by white porsons, INTIMIDATION.

ENRAGED HISTRIONS. —nenthe ‘There was as mad a oct of histrions as ever trod the boards in the Gaiety Theatro, in Hariem, the other night, when it was alleged that the manager had flown with the holiday shekels and that the financial outlook was exceedingly depressing. For several weeks tho houses have been crowded, and the attacnés felt confident thet their salarics were secure. On Saturday they agxombled in force and stalked into the greenroom, radiant with ploasing expectahcy, Tho manager was not there, but his represontative was, aud no shade of doubt impaired the confi- dence of the gathering. There was & new turn to affairs, however, when a young man appeared on the seene and pro jed to read # note from Manager Prudy, which was by no means of a cheerful charac- ter, The tenor of it was that he was unavoidably absent, that the pleasure of meeting his attachés wes deniod him on that oceasion, and woull be for some time to come, in consequence of finan- cial cmberrassments, which he had not an- ticipated.

Joaquin Baldomero Espartero, Duke de la Victoria, Marshal and at one time Regent of Spain, whose death is announced by a cable despatch from Madrid, was born on February 27, 1792, at Grangtula, in the ¢ of La Mancha, in a district included in the Province of Ciudad Real, according to the modern topography of Spain. His father was a car- riage maker, ana Joaquin was one of nine children. He was a youth of delicate constitution,’ and was given for that reason un ¢ducation adapted to pre- pare him for some occupation less laborious than his father's He was taught Latin by a priest of his na- tive village, and in 1806 was sent to the neighboring city of Almagro, where he studied two years in the university which then existed there, In 1808 he went to Andalusia with an elder brother, and there, in the ,city of Seville, entered the infantry regiment of Ciudad Real as a common soldier; but in the next year he was transferred to the battalion Sagrado of tho University of Toledo, which was mostly mide up of students from the city, Upon the invasion of Andalusia by the French the Central Junta took refuge in Cadiz, gnd the Sagrado battalion went with it. Soon after a military school was es- tablished in Cadiz, into which Espaftero obtained admission, There he studied engineering, fortifica- tion and the elements of military science generally, as titen taught, In 1814 he was appointed sub-lieu- tenant in the infantry regiment of the Province of Soria, and at the close of the war in the Peninsula remained with his regiment in garrison at Madrid. In 1815 Spain was in, trouble with her provinces in South America. Revolution was well nigh generalized, and vigorous leaders, of whom Bolivar was the most famous, inspired the struggle for independence. An expeditiom to suppress in- surrection was sent .from Spain under General Morillo, and the regiment of Extremadura, to which Espartero was attached, formed part of it. Espartero’s regiment arrived at Lima in September, 1815, He was a captain at the end of his first cam- paign, and received a battalion in 1817 as a reward for services in seventeen actions. He was mado a colonel in 1820 and a brigadier in 1822, and served as chief of the general staff. In 1824 he was sent home with despatches and made but a short stay. His voyage, out on bis return to South America was stormy and long, and while he was still at sea Bolivar gained the victory of Ayacucho, December 9, 1824, by which an irretrievable loss was inflicted on the royalists. With a force of ovor 9,000 men they were totally routed by 5,000 Peruvians, and Laserna, the Viceroy and Spanish commander, was taken prisoner, On the next day the remainder of the Spanish army was surrendered, and Laserna signed a.capitulation by whigh the Peruvians came into pos- session of all the Spanish posts and munitions of war. This battlé practically ence of the province, and the royalist gencrals sailed for Spain. Ignorant of all this, Edpartero landed: at Quilea in May, 1625, and fell into the hands of the Perayians, by’ whom he was thrown into prison. He made his escape, however, and reuched Spain at the end of November in the saine year. It is said that he utilized various opportunities while in Peru to secure for himself a considerablo fortune. He was stationed at Logrofio upon his return, und while there married the daughter of arich citizen named Santa Cruz. Espertero declared in 1832, upon the abolition of the Salic law by Ferdinand VIL, in favor of the succes- sion of the Princess Isabella, and upon the death of the King, September 2, 1833, offe1 to march with his regiment against the provinces which had risen for Don Carlos, He was made commander of the Province: of Biscay and Heutenant general. In 1836 he eld the chief command, in the absence of Cordova, ot the army destiued to cover Madrid and save the city from an attempt of the Carlists to carry it by a coup de main. For this exploit ho was created General- in-Chief of the Army of the North, Viceroy of Navarre and Captain General of the Basque Provinces. In 1837 he sat in the Constituent Cortes and contributed to the fall of the Calatiava Ministry. In 1837 he saved Madrid for a second time, drove Don Carlos and his forces across the Ebro, carried by storm t heights of Lucana and compelled the Carlists raixe the sicge of Bilbao. In recognition of these successes he was made Count of Lucena. He re- frained from pushing further at that time his opera- tions against the enemy, apparently from a percep- tion of the imminent necessity of uring what he shad glready gained. He add’ himself to. the labor of establivhing disci: maintaining order in the distritts for.this was compelled to resort to vi re ERs ‘ures ‘at Pas ‘luna and Miranda. For farthet ex- ploits against the Carliste in 1830 he received the title of Duke of Victory, and was made a grandee of Spain of the first class. "He concluded with Maroto the con- vention’ of Bergara, by which Don Carlos was com- pelled to leave Spain, and the only Carlist of note who then kept the field was Cabrera. Espartero was at that moment practically the domi- nant man of his country, If in the present political distraction of parties at Madrid with an active enemy in the North some capablo soldier should Appear at the head of the Spanish armies who should crush the Carlists in battle after battle and hunt them from one hiding place to another till they became con- temptible fugitives; and if this man were known to hold rationally liberal principles, but to temper always his views of political needs by the dictates ot sound patriotism, we can see how he must inevitably stand out as the foremost Spaniard of the time, And it was in analagous cireum- starices that the pre-eminence of Expartero was recognized. His whim was law if he chose ito assert it. His aide de camp, Linage, had publicly insulted the Secretary of War, but for him the commander asked @ general's commission. It was given, and Narvaez resigned. That trial of strength was one incident of a couflict between the Ministry and the liberals, of whom Espartero was = recognized head. Another incident wasa government measure for the restriction of certain privileges en- joyed by municipalities. Upon the pessage of that measure insurrections occurred everywhere, and the Ministry was driven from power. Fspartero had just given the finishing blow to Carlism by crushin; Cabrera, and the general acclaim called him to Madri as President of anew M nistry, and the Regent rec- ognized the necessity. Espartero came to power as an upholder of the constitution of 1837, Spanish politics were then ab- soluti moderados, progressistas and exaltados. ‘The moderados were conservatives, the progressistas liberal, the exaltados radicals, and the absolutistas were the reactionary believers in the absolute sov- erignty by divine right. Espartero was regarded as us # radical, but the radical or those days would be reactionary in presence of the radical of our own time; and, in fact, the name which the party has ten- aciously maintained in Spain is now ri ined as the designation of a party.that lags so far behind the radicalisin ot to-day that it belicves in a constitu- tional monarchy. Espartero was, therefore, in the front of the liberal movement, and Queen Christina, who had governed as Regent for eight years, recog: nizing that » Minister forced upom» her by a political movement she hed” vored to restrain was a dictator thinly veiled in constitutional drapery, resigned and Jeft the coun try. Espartero was in'the following year (1841) ap- pointed Regent during the minority of the Queen. He governed for two years, and in that period get the example—the first that Spain kad sewn for ‘a long yr ar—of a sound, vigorous and honest aitiinis- tration. Intrigue and insurrection were, however, constantly on foot; but with au equal hand the Re- gent repressed the extremities of radicaliem and the endeavors of the partisans of Queen Christina, “But the opposition parties formed a coalition and de- manded in the Cortes .an anunesty for all political offences, Espartero obstinately and injuaictously refused his assent, and the country rose against him, ay two years before it risen in his favor. A provisional government, com- posed of Lopez, Labellera and Serrano, de- clared Expartero’ a traitor to his cquntry and deprived him of all mis dignitios; and Narvaez, at the head of the principal body of insurgents, ‘hed on Madrid, which he eutered without resistance in July. In the same month Expartero enibarked for England. In Uctober of the same year the Cortez declared the Queen of age and a new ministry was formed, with Narvacz as President, and tor the succeeding years palace intrigue was more powertul than political rinciple in the detern:ination of all points of policy. rtero.resided in London until December, 1, when, in consequence of the accession to power of & progressista ministry, the decree which declared him ‘a traitor was repealed’ and he returned to Spain, He resumed his seat in the ‘Senate, but shortly after re- tired to his home at Logrofio aud lived in absolute retirement for six years. In 1854 another insurrection broke out—an expres- sion of the gencral discontent of the country at bad government and extrav: it expenditure of the ‘sreasury and other public ments. At length » crisis was reached, in 1863, when Eapartero was dis- wed, and insurrections broke out in Madrid, Bar- gorse. In these disturbances he took no pai 1857, resigning his position ax Sena- tor, retired to ‘ate lite, he was recalled to Madri: n Isabella and in binot. He was then either unable or unwilling to unite the conflicting elements with which he hid to deal, After the revolu- tion of 1868, which ended in theexpulsion of Queen Isa- bella, General Expartero gave a hearty adhemon tothe provisional government of Spain, although he took no active part in the stirring events of the period. In the month of May, 1869, during the Cortes debate on the subject of the propriety of monarchieal form of gover it, & member Legislature, Sefior Garido, suggested that Espartero should be chosen King of Spain. ‘The proposal was uot favorably received by the Cortes, The republi- can sentiment prevailed. It was alleged that the aged warrior felt wounded in his pride by the event— some persons alleged that he wag. vastly disap. pointea—and since that moment has beon scarcely mentioned amid the contradictory reports whiel have reached us from Madrid. In February, 1875, he wave in his adhesion to King Alfonso and retired to his homo at Lugrofo, in the north of red the independ-, ime in ‘the army, and to | where he remained until | AMUSEMENTS. ITALIAN OPERA—‘‘MARTHA”—BOOTH'S THEATRE. Lady Henrietta as Marfa Lita ‘ancy el Plunket Tristano. Notwithstanding the incle last evening Booth’s ‘Theatre was well filled with a Trilliant and appreciative audience, a fact showing that when good opera is given and good artists ap- pear the public are always ready to respond, ‘The attraction of the present occasion was twofold. First, not a little curiosity has been manifested concerning the newly announerd pritga donna, Mlle. Litt, and second, “Martha” is one of those popular operas that rarely fails to draw a throng of musical people, Many years have pasked since Flotow sent forth this bundle of catching melodies, but in the meantime they have been sung and ployed all over the civilized world. They are every day whistled by the street arabs, hummed at the club, pounded ont of pianos, soundod on hurdy-gurdys and millions of people without knowing the source are uncon- erpetuating the beautiful themes thet were t a suspicion of their longevity in quiet composer, Bosic Nilsson, Albani, Titiens, Carl Formes, Mario, G lini, and scores of other artists have taken part in opera, and there is no reason to doubt that whenever it ix presented ax excellently as last night it will continue to draw intelligent and admiring audiences, The beauty of “Martha” largely consists in the fact that it affords truly artistic and enjoyable work to every artist on and off the stage, from the humblest chorus singer aud orchestral member to the chief representatives of the plot. The burden of the opera last night rested on Mile, Litta, ™ Lonise Cary, Mr. Westberg and. Mr, L. G. ( and it is due to each and all of these artists to say that they invested it with an intercst that made it thoroughly weleome and lett little room for criticism that is not, intended to be hypercritical, Miss Litta, while nervous at the outset and clearly exhibiting the want of stage traimng and the absence of con- fidence that ‘attaches to long experience behind the tootlights, nevertheless gives promise of a great future. She has a pure, fresh, limpid yojce, that goes as straight to ihe buit’s-cyo of a difficult note an one of dude Gildersleeve's rifle balls at Creed- moor, If Gerster had not preceded -her x0 recently, and if we were not familiar with the phenomenal notes of di Mureka, Litta would unquestionably be the subject of superiative phrases in the way of praise. But she has no reason to fear for her future, She ix modest, intelligent, will eventually learn to act as well as sing and will atways find an American audience everywhere promptly ‘generous to recognize the true art ot which sho is one of our _ native exponents. Her rendition of the “Lust Rose of Sumy of her vi all_parts quartet, tha "" fully exhibited the fine qualities . the song calling ror an encore, but in the opera, whether in solo, duo or trating quality of her notes was everywht ible and a subject of favora- dle comment. “Miss Louise Cary as Nancy has sung in the part so many times that it is almost like sec- ond nature to her, but she owes it to herself to be careful in her wating and not aliow her coquettishness tobe overdone. — There were tines last evening when her rollicking fun interfered with the enjoyment of the music and made her more @ central figure than Miss Cary usually assumes to be. It is not necessary to add that she sang’ bedutifully. Sho always does so. There are s0 many gems in “Martha” that it would require much space to give description to them all: but among the most attractive were the “Chi mi dira,”” by Gotts- chalk; + “Il tuostral nel Isnciar,” by Miss c “M'appari .tutt’ amor,” by, Westberg, and ‘the quintet, “Ah! che’ a me perdoni.” Plinkett, as personated by Mr. Gottschalk, was a fairly acted charucter, but the artist has many predecessors from whom he could advantageously fake lessons, The voice of Mr. Westberg is thin, but pleasing.. He sings with ease, grace and correctness, and, in'a light opera, is @ desirable acquisition. Audience ana artists before the close of the opers warmed to the work and the result was not a little genuine enthusiasm, which found vent in frequent recalls. Taken all in all, Martha” was admirably presented, and Mr. Strakosch has reason to congratu- Inte himself.that he has achieved another success. Owing to the continued indisposition of Miss Kel- logg “Lucia” will be given this evening instead of “Ballo in Muschera,” ‘The friends of the prima donna, however, need not feel alarmed, as she will probably be in condition to sing next week. "PARK THEATRE—‘‘ROBINSON CRUSOE.” There was a'good house at this theatre last night, notwithstanding the storm and the uninvitin: state of the weather, to witness the burlesque of “K n Crusoe.” The piece 18 given with » good cast—the characters sustained by the male members of the company being quite as capably played as those represented by the females—something unusual in burlesque presentations. Miss Marie Williaws played the title role, and gare it with ‘that spirit 0% mischievous jollity and fun which Pe on audience. Her Jani dnet with Wi ny ine Mr. Maflin) was heartily cncored. Mlle. Rosean,as Potiy Hopkins, 1ooked swevtly, dressed nicely and sang fairty well. Mr.-C. H. , as Tim Cox, was exceedingly funny in needs Poo also in this acting, and Mr. Gill, as F ay. gave as good @ resentation of Friday as has yet been witnessed on the burlesque stage. The singing, dancing, comic situations, scenery and the fun which strung itself out throughout the burlesque appeared to mect with the approval of the audience.
