5 it si v?.Y onszons, From Our Own Corrttipondent. Nbw York, Fob. 21, 1870. Mr. Hweetr.er'n Funeral. ' - Tho remains of the dead journalist Mr. Henry E. Swootzor wore oa Saturday afternoon taken from his receat residence in Eiit Twentieth street, and conveyed to Dr. Adams' Prosbytorlan Church, Madison Square. Mr. SwooUor bad been a mombor of this church, and a largo num ber of his former friends were gathered there for the pnrpore of paying him the last sad honors. Among those present wore Mr. Man ton Marble, of the World; Dr. W. Chalmers, tV. C. Croly, T. M. Adams, E. Van Falkenbergh, E. Seymour, C. II. Woodruff, and E. Carpenter. Dr. Adams wisely did not prolong the sad ser vices to an undue length, his remarks being brief and limited to what he knew and be was well fitted to Judge of the prlvato character and spiritual attainments of tho deceased. Mr. Swcotzerwas a useful rath or than a brilliant journalist, belonging to that order which is In dispensable, and from the moro fact of bolng so, paradoxical as It may soem, havo duties to per form which never blazon themselves and rivet attention, but require to be transacted la quiot- noss and unobtruslveness. It was in this spirit that Mr. Bweetzer performed all that foil Into Lis hands. He was indoed noted for the con scientious and modost energy with which he transacted every business duty. Two Pozzllng Points. There are two puzzling points which New York finds It Impossible to maKe up its mind about. One is, What is relapsing fever? Tho other Is, Is Mr. Fcchtor a great actor? On thoso respective points tho doctors and tho critic equally disagree among themselves. For In stance, with reerard to relapslnit lover, one set of doctors assorts that it is an extremely old dis ease as old as those metaphysical hills which the good book terms everlasting, nnd which havu become proverblully expressive of intense an , tiquity. This set of doctors asserts that it was both caused and cured in this city twenty-five years ago; that It is confined to poor places and people, and that it is lingering but not a an gerous. Another bevy of wise men insists that It is something entirely new and Btartling, and that they have in the midst of them a pheno menon with which they know not what to do, Precisely this dilemma Mr. iochtcr creates among the critics, and, for the matter of that, among the public who have been to see him. In the columns of the Tribune Mr. Winter has as brilliantly blackguarded him as the gentle Willie could approach blackguarding any one In the World Mr. Wheeler poetically perspires over him on week days, and is suspected to be Identical with the "Nym Crinkle who, on Sunday, write a column of smart sententious eayings about everything, without committing himself about anything. Gossip lifts up her hands and eyes, and swears that the reason of Mr. Winter's "prejudice (as she t erms it) in favor of Booth's theatre, and against any other, is that hU wife happens to form one of the stock company at Booth's. As for my part, I don believe "no slch scandal." Only (this I will eay) theatrical critics ought not to have actresses for wives. That is not the way to write with perfect impartiality. George Francis Train lectured lost night at the Bowery Theatre. For some weeks ho has been preaching at the Tarn' many. It may bd tbut bis discourses were of too metaphysical, not to say heterodox charac' ter, for the pious residents of that locality; or it may be that Mr. Train's love for the masses has induced him to make himself a martyr (at the low price of one dollar per reserved seat), and gather nndcr his wing the Immoral chickens of Bowery, afflicted with the pip of poverty and ein. At any rate, he is to preach regularly at that establishment upon Suuday evenings for an indefinite period. Whatever else can be said against the Bowery management, it cannot '. juBtlybe accusod of inconsistency in its dis- comment of the relative capabilities and attrac tions of the stars it engages, and of the sorts of entertainment it aspires to give. One night you have Mace and Heenan, the next Sunday a private rehearsal of a new paBtomlme, and the Sunday after George Francis Train. Every one of them draws good houses. Mr. Ilartz the Illusionist, opens this morning a peculiar .. little establishment at No. 748 Broadway, lie calls It his Bijou Theatre, and the interior arrangements are supposed to be similar to those in the Parisian theatre of Robert Houdin, the celebrated French conjuror, to whom Hartz is Indebted for some of his magic and intelligence. Eartz manifestly Intends to work hard and make money, nis brother who is acting as his agent told me that they intend to keep their olllco open from eight in the morning until seven at night,for the manufacture and salo of every sort of mechanical appliance, besides giving a public nerformonce every evening. This is rather steady application, is It not? Axi Baba The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com pany have their line in successiui operation r 11 1 1 .

With a view to the prompt exten sion of the line through to the Ohio river, at or near the mouth of the tilg Sandy river, a further stretch of about 200 miles (pi wntcu extension a considerable portion has already tieen con Rtrnptedl. the company have decided to offer. through their financial agents, Messrs.

Tha mortiraire will cover all the obligations of the company, whose outstanding indebted ness consists of only 1,C88,757 in miscellaneous tuinriaiuinn nortiousof the old Virginia Central Railroad (which now forms a part of the Chesa peake and Ohio), and a sinaU obligation to the Statu of Viruima. for the payment of which provision has already been made in Virginia State bonds.

Tho brlof onera seattoa concludod on Satur day evening by the performance of The Mar- one of the most successful over given In this city, and it points a moral worth heeding to thooe inanagors wuo wonacringiy ask wny Philndolpbla will not patronize opora. This query is propounded by managers and aironts airain and again when thoy find their artists staging nlgbt after night to a beggarly array of empty benencs, aim wnen u is suggested mat tho public wlh to hear good slugora and works that have not been done to doath, thoy retort by asking whether tholr scalo of prices is not low enoiurh to compensate for the unsatisfactory quality of their performance. The fact is that there is an educated musical public In this city that will pay liberally' to hear irood oporas ren dered in good style by competent singers. This class of onera patrons not only wish to hoar good performances, but they also wish some variety, ana during tue last two seasons man agers have tilled the Academy and put money la tholr pockets by the production of such works as Lt Prophete, William Tell, ond The Marriage of .Figaro. These works the Eubilc know to be good, and as they had not eon performed for a number of years, there was a general desire to hear thorn and an interest in them id at woniu not nave been leu naa mcy been among the lint of operas that are presented in almost unvarying succession soupon after season until their very names boirin to bo bores. The Uorman troupe, aitnougn it aid not pro fess to bo a first-class one, attracted well-filled houses with The Magic Flute, Utradella, and La Dame Dlanche. for the reason we have men tioned; and lt may be considered an assured fact that any reasonably (rood opora company will make money in this city if it treats the public to standard works of merit that are not hackneyed. The following works, for instance, have, soino of thorn, never been performed bore. and others have been on the shelf for so long a time that they would be novelties to the majority of ODcra-firoers: Lucia di Lammernwor; La Uazza Ladra; II Lombardi; I J'witani; The lluavenots; Othello; Maria de Mohan; Semi- ramide: Czar and Zimmermann; Don Carlo; b'abuccu; La Cenerentola, and Pirata. This list might easily be exteuded indefinitely, but it will serve to show what the operatic managers do not attempt in the way oi pleasing the public. The company that closed its season on Satur day night succeeded because it is the strongest coinmtiatiou beiore me puonc. i wo or tne ieaa ins artists were suffering from severe indlsposl tion that interfered materially with the effect of their performances, but lu spite oi tbls tne en' tortainments were ot a most satisfactory char acter, and the three immense audiences that were attracted by The Marriage of Figaro indi cated very plainly in what muuner the approba- tlon and greenbacks ot tho public can be secured. Madame Parepa-Rosa was unable to prolong hor season because of tho previous en gagement oi tne Acaaemy ior tne present ween; but it Is understood tnat sue will retnrn shortly, and place her admirers under additional obliga tion to her by producing Weber's Oberon and Mozart's Don Giovanni.. The first named of these works has never been done here, and there is no doubt that lt will make a great hit. We are glad to see by a curd from the mom bcrs of the Kichings troupe that there is no in tention of disbanding at present, and that tholr performances have not been failures, as was re presented. Mrs. Bernard has worked hard to establish English opera; she is a conscientious artiBt and a moft estimable lady, and the failure of her enterprise at this day would bo a disaster that her many friends In this city would deeply deplore. We have said nothing about tho rumor of failure, hitherto preferring to wait for some authoritative announcement before discussing the subject, and we are well pleased at the prompt contradiction contained in the card re ferred to.

Mr. Butler (Mass.), from the Reconstruction Com mittee, reported back the Senate bill removing po litical disabilities from between four and five hun dred persons In various States. Some eight of the persons embraced had been elected to orftoe In Mississippi, and If this bill were not passed they would be disqualified. Mr, Whittemore offered as an amendment the llonse bill embracing about two thousand names. Mr. Cox inquired of Mr. Whittemore whether there was any principle stated In the bill on which these names were reported? Mr. Whittemore reulied that there was not. Mr. Cox Is lt proposed to attach to the original bill or to the amendment any system of amnesty through the courts or otherwise? Mr. whittemore Not at all ; that Is in a separata bill. Mr. Cox I will never vote for a measure picking out men bv name. I want a general amnesty. Mr. Butler (Mass.) said that no man In the House was more anxious than himself to get up a general bill to remove disabilities. Such a bill had been re ported, and he would press lt at the earliest possible moment.
