8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 18G8. MUSICAL AM) DRAMATIC Ernanl' at the Academy of Slnale. Lett evening Verdi's opera of Srrumi was presented at toe Academy of Moslo, with Miss Malta "E vire," Blgnor Boettl m "Ernal," Wgnor OrJandlol "Carlo Qulnto," and Slgaor Antonoeel m "Silvio. n In !uiy respecu the kst of Vsrdl's compositions, it wu executed throughout In admirable style, and reoelved by Ibe andlence with the Heartiest aoplause. Tbe flualeof the third aot especially was rendered so effectively that a repetition was lmpera lively demanded, even after the leading artiste ad e me before tbe curtain In response to the applause.

"Wolves at. H,,at tn0 Arcb. C lonel FitEfter a.11 new drama of Wclvrt at Boy was prod.aee4 last evening at the Arch Street T beat ve, vtVta all tho accompaniments f new soeoery, atattling sensation effects, plrltei actrng, and a a Immense auflienoe la an Immense utate r-entbuslasoa. Indeed, all that was mHjisary to make this performance the most nvecessful-ever given tn this city, was the dle'ii lout Ion among tbe audience of a few Slvaon bottles of tbe Colonel's fi pedal Carle d'or .trfetcn figured so prominently on the stage. If this feature should be Introduced la the future, -we hope that due notloe will be -given, so that -we may be hreere lo do honor to the oocaslon. Bcrloaaly.kowever, Wolvttot Bay was a suocess, and we think; 'that Col. Fit Jtgerutd Is to be 00 a graiulated on that fact as well as on his eaorts to create a distinctive American drama. As a pioneer In this field, who has to contend against many obstacles, his works are enimed to be Judged with a certain amount of lenlenoy, and to be considered very mach in the lWat of experiments. Fuvure playwrights may give u more elaborate and finished productions, when the way Is made clear for them, but Colone1 Fltaerald will still deserve a recogultlon of his aervioee even if his dramas should be doomed to perlfth In the abyss of time, and their names and titles be remembered only in tradition. At the same time, In Justice to the public, to the author, and to ourselves, we fuel It to be ouf duty to give our impressions of tne piece pro duced last evening, without partiality, and to point out what we consider Us weak p ilots. Woive at Bay Is In some respects superior to either of the other dramas given to tbe public by Colonel Fitzgerald. It Is more enter kttlnlua than Liyht at List and more carefully constructed than Tanjica Tnreua. The plot Is quite simple and not altogether novel, bnt tbe great bulk of the drama is mado up of a mass of extraneous mailer which has no direct connection with the main Issue. Indeed, this Irrelevancy of the substance to the subjeot is carried somewhat to an extreme, and in his tfforts to lntroduos a little of everything In order to gratify the tastes of everybody, the aotion Is delayed, tbe climaxes are woakened, and tbe play unnecessarily length ened, without any coirespoudlng advan tage being gained. Judicious pruning, each as usually follows a flrat performance, will make tne piece aot better. Thus, tbe scene in the third aot, where "Jaok Bomervllle" and "Tom Dolyer" get hilarious over a couple of bottles of Carle d or, was unne cessarily prolonged, until it became tantalizing to tbe andlence, most of whom were strongly convinced that tbe bottles were selected iroin tbe choice collection In the author's collar. Under tbe circumstances, the considerate aotion of "Tom Dolyer" in summoning each of tbe ladles to their chamber doors after they had retired for tbe night, In order to present a glass of the foaming beverage, is easily understood, although It bad no particular bearing on the plot. This feature, however, will probably be omitted In the future, unless, Indeed, the Colo nel Intends to keep the thing ap during the run of the play. In Wolves at Bay there is a dlsousslon of the labor question, and tbe main points of the plot turn upon a strike by the men engaged in "Mr. Drayton's" mill, under the leadership of a Villain, "John Llpp." who aspires to tbe hand of the rich man's daughter. This fellow not only instigates the men to strike, bat he plies them with liquor, and enoourages them to effeot the destruction or "Mr. Drayton" and "Arthur Levering" by catting away tbe celebrated trellis bridge on the Calawlssa Rallroad.so as to precipitate into the chasm the train of cars which Is bearing them with a party of soldiers, to the scene of strife. "Luoy Drayton" hears ot the plot and betakes herself to the bridge in the middle of the night, olluias upon it and waves a red lautern to stop the train. Tbe train la saved, but the locomotive is precipitated over the bioken bridge into the chasm, thus producing a grand sensation etl'eo1 for the concluding tableau of the fourth act. There Is considerable love-making, and the ingenuous manner in which the lovers 00 me to the point and make each other aware of their feelings is particularly charming. The idea of an amorous bachelor making advances to a not too reluctant widow while laboring under a c'am-f rliter indigestion, is certainly novel, if not elegant. Mr, Craig, who sustained tbe part of "Jack Bomervllle," acted only too well in this scene; and without wishing la any way to lu teriere with the effectiveness of the play or the enjoyment of any portion of the audlenoe, wo wonld suggest that a little less of this sort of thing would be in better taste. A good deal of base-ball talk Is woven into the dialogue; and aa this la a subject with which Colonel Fitz gerald is perfectly familiar, he has peppered the conversation of his representative base-balllst, 'Tom Dolyere," with all tbe slang terms of the game, to the huga delight of a large portion of the audience. Tbe distribution of the characters was as follows, and we may remark that they were generally performed In a creditable manner: 'Lucy Drayton " Mrs. Drew; "Arthur Lever ing." Mr. Barton Hill; "Mr. Drayton," Mr. Muckay; "Mr. Jack Komerville." Mr. Oralir; Tom Dolyee," MUs Fanny Davenport; "Mr. Leary." Mr. Hoyiler; "Jntio KnUev," Mr. Wal-Hi-; "John Mpp," Mr. Mnagher; James," Mr. Ohborue; "Mrs. llarmer Duly," Mrs. Clara F. Ustdei; "Miss Becky Homervllle." Mrs. Crease: 'Alary Kelsey," Miss 1'rloe. Wohei at Bay has been put upon the stage la tbe best style, with handsome new scenery, ap pointments, effects, etc The following scene are all good: Tbe west wing of Mr. Drayton's mansion In tbe valley of the CaUwIssa, by Hawthorne; The octagon room, by Hawthorne; The Osk Hall, y Fetters; and the valley with tbe trellis bridge over the chasm, by Fetters. At the conclusion or the third aot ''toot Dol yer" seats himself at the wlndow.aod appa rently goes to sleep while on guard. The flats are drawn back and a tableau la disclosed or "Lucy Drayton" on one aide with her red lan tern, and on the other a group or the strikers Tbe meaning of thta effect we are unable to comprehend. It may be a representation ot "Tom Dolyer'a" dream, but la this we acknow ledge our llabllitytobemlstaken. 01TY INTELLIGENCE. CITY CRIMINAL CALENDAR.

Wulle good fltn and sound policy alike require us to sir icily observe ex isting treaties so long as the Indians maintain like good faith, wbeu any lriie has violated lis treaty It should no longer be regarded us a na tion with which to treat, bat us a dependent uncivilized people, to be cared for, foil wuen neceseary, aud governed. It is manifest that any branch of the public service cannot be efllciently and economically managed by two departments of tbe Govern ment, ir tbe Interior Department can alone manege Indian affairs, aud tut s save tbe large expense or the army In the Indian oountry, very well. But if tbe army must be sept there for the protection of railroads and frontier set tlemeuts, why not require tbe army off! jers to aot aa Indian agents, and thus save alt the expeuee of tbe civilians employed. Besides, an aiiny officer has bis military reputation and commission at stake, and is subjeot to trial by court-martial f ir any mlscouduct in ottloe. Thus is a Horded the sirongrat possible security tbelUovernment can baveioran bouesl aduiiu lbtrailou of Indian afl'ilrs by oftioera ot tue army; while the civilian agent, being only a It mporary officer of tbe Government, and prac tically exempt from trial and punishment fur misconduct, gives the G overnment tbe least posblb'e security for honest admlulstratioa For the sake of economy to me Government, for the sake of more eOiulent protection to the frontier Battlements, and fur tun sake of Justice to tbe Indians, I recommend that the management ol Indian affairs be restored to the War Department, with authority to uiiUa regulations lor tbelr governmnul and for luelr protection against lawless whites.
