From Our dm Correspondent.
Nbw York, Anjr. 19, 1870.
Quite To Complimentary
The misfortune of being too complimentary Is
illustrated In the dissatisfaction which Mr.
Wells, Commissioner of the Emigration Depart
mcnt, Castle Garden, has given to Mr. Richard
O'Gorman, President of the Commission of Emi
gration. Mr. Wells went to Wallack's Theatre,
and saw Mr. Emmet perform there the part of
'Fritz" in Our Cousin German. Thereupon
Mr. Wells wrote to his friend Mr. Gayler, the
dramatic carpenter who glued the play
together, a note which highljr praised Mr. Em
met's performance, and whici expressed the
praise In exceedingly unique syntax. Mr. Gayler
affirms that this note was written in simple good
ness of heart (It was scarcely written In goodness
of grammar), and that Mr. Wells had no idea
that Mr. Gayler intended to use it as a public
advertisement. However, Mr. Gayler did "that
same." He printed the note as a theatrical
advertisement in all the newspapers, and con
gratulated himself upon having performed an
exceedingly business-liko feat. A certain Sun
day newspaper, however, whoa dramatic editor
probably pretends to write better English than
most theatrical critics, pounced upon Mr.
Wells' published note and mercilessly criticized
the terms in which it was coached. This pro
ceeding evoked an excited visit from Mr. Gay
ler, who said, with feeling, that he was supremely
indifferent to whatever the newspapers saw fit
to say about his play, but that he thought it was
a shabby affulr to criticize in public a private
note written by one gentleman to another. And
Mr. Gayler would have been probably right
tat for a trifling incongruity, which was
that, by publishing Mr. Wells' note, he not only
had made it cease to be private, but had implied
also that he published it with Mr. Wells' con
sent, since it is Incredible that one gentleman
would publish a private note written to him by
another gentleman, without having first ob
tained that other gentleman's consent. How
ever, it seems that the publication of Mr. Wells'
innocent and awkward little note threatens to
be productive oi worse consequences to him
than those Implied in a passing newspaper criti
cism. Mr. O'Gorman is said to have, in strong
terms, denounced to the Board Mr. Wells' com
munication, and the matter has been referred to
the Ward's Island Committee for it to decide
whether the writing of such a note does not
warrant Mr. Wells' dismissal from ofllce. If
this report be strictly true, it is Mr. O'Gorman
aud not Mr. Wells who is placed in a ridiculous
light. The question is altogether too trivial to
deserve 6uch prominency. Mr. Well9 probably
wrote the note Inconsiderately, and therefore
worded it rather awkwardly; but at least he
wrote it out of pure good nature, and simply to
oblige his friend Gayler. On the other hand,
Gayler and Emmet (are wo not all wur-rums,
with an eye to business ?) were intent on using
every lawful means to render the season suc
cessful. Hence the publication of the letter, and
all the subsequent scandal.
Nldewalk Speculation 4galn.
For the present the sidewalk speculators are
defeated. In deciding the question which they
and the mnnagers have been fighting over a
great deal of niceness is required. That the
ticket-speculators are a nuisance no one will
teny, except perhaps those rare beings who
always neglect to secure seats and do not object
to pay two or three times the price that is asked
for them at the box -ofllce. Neither is it to be
denied that, during the first three nights of the
present season, they behaved so outrageously as
to forfeit all the sympathy that the public might
otherwise have felt for them. They made our
country cousins their peculiar prey, and when
the wretched dupes returned to the sidewalk
boiling wirii rage over their unsuccessful
attempts to pass the ticket-taker,' the specula
tors gloated over them, and advised them to sue the
theatre as the only means ot obtaining satisfac
tion. On the other hand it is well known that
in former days some of the theatres used to em
ploy just such men ns these for the express
purpose of selling tickets on the sidewalk and
at the entrance to the theatre. The object, of
course, was to put a factitious value upon
the seats and to create a factitious interest in
the performance. At that lime, however, Booth's
Theatre was not In existence, and Niblo's was
in hands different from those in which it now is.
It Is possible,- therefore, that the proprietors of
neither of these places have ever abetted the
practice which they are now seeking to destroy.
In favor of the ticket-speculators it may like
wise be urged that a man has a right to do what
he pleases with a ticket which he has paid for,
even to sell it in public on the sidewalk if he is
so disposed. These and various other points
will hare to be weighed and decided
when the question shall come before a court.
Meanwhile public sympathy goes with the
theatrical managers. The annoyance of being
obliged to apply at the box-oflice at an early
hour and at an early date in order to seenre
good seats is compensated for by the feeling of
security and perfect satisfaction which such an
arrangement gives, and an appreciation of this
fact may be quite sufficient to destroy, at least
for the time, the business of sidewalk ticket
speculation. Free-WIU and Neceetiltv ninonc Hie Police.
It has been suggested that one reason why so
many criminals are not arrested is that the
present system of metropolitan police rules
reduces every police officer to a machine, and
takes away from him all liberty of action. For
Instance, there is a long set of tedious rules
which every policeman is presumed to be ac
quainted with, and to obey to the letter without
regard to the dictates of his own discretion. It
I read the spirit of these rules aright, he is as
sumed to possess no judgment, no common
sense, no intelligent imagination, and the rules
are Intended to serve his turn instead of the pro
cesses of reasoning. The system of fines is
severe, and is rigorously adhered to. With
much truth it is said by one who has had many
years' experience in the police department of
this cltv, that a New York police omcer is com
pelled to walk his post as though he was
an automaton and not a thinking being. He
Is required to keep moving at a regular pace, and
within a given time to walk over the whole of his
beat. He is allowed no latitude of time within
which to track any one who looks suspicious,
and If he fails to perform his round within the
specified time he is either fined or dismissed
So perfectly Is the stupidity of these rules
appreciated bv the criminal classes, that the
burglar or the murderer can, actually time them-
. selves so as to elude his eye and ear. ihey
know when to calculate upon hU appearing at
any particular point Included In his beat. In
other words, in prescribing rule for the police
force, the doctrine of necessity Is substituted
for that of free-will. The M. P. Is allowed
' almost no opportunity for exercising discretion
and assuming responsibility. Of course, if it
were suddenly given him, corresponding abuses
wou'J, all at ome, U suOicicutly appai eut It
ajam. oue a to the expediency of the change.
But does not experience show that the errors
which a man makes when he thinks for him
self are less dangerous than the evils he falls to
detect or remove while acting blindly as the in
strument of others ? I think so ; and I think
that until the New York police are granted a
more responsible liberty of action, murderers
will continue to enshroud themselves in as sue
cessful a mystery as that which conceals the
murderer of Mr. Nathan. Alt Baba.

The Walnvt will open this evening with
Boucicault's drama of The Flying Scud, which

An Elegant and Scbstantial Improvement.
Mr. J. E. Gould, the well-known Piano Dealer, No.
923 Chesnut street, has just completed an extensive
and elegant addition and improvement to his already
ample warerooms. The rapidly Increasing sales of
George Steek & Co.'s and Haines Bros.' Pianos, and
the popular Mason & Hamlin (Boston) Cabinet Or
gans, have compelled an enlargement of facilities,
which comprises the entire second-story front of the
building now occupied by him. This upper apart
ment has been litted up with exquisite taste: its
waUs papered deep blue, with parallel gold stripes
at Intervals of several feet ; while a row of support
ing white pillars adds a substantial effect to the
etmemble. Customers enter the new wareroorn
through a wide and newly Improvised doorwav on
the first floor, and passing np a short and convenient
stairway find themselves In the midst of a splendid
stock of Instruments, whose general style and finish
ore seen to great advantage in the brilliant sunlight
that streams Into the spacious windows. The aioug
tic effect of the elegant new apartment has also been
wen carea ior: ami, in snort, no expense has been
spared to make the entire establishment equal, if
not superior, to anything of the kind in this country.
An immense stock of personally selected instru
ments will be constantly offered at nearly the same
as in old times.
Millions of Bottles of Mrs. Winslow's Sooth
ing BvR0p are sold and used with never-falling suc
cess. It is an old and well-tried remedy, and has
stood the test of years. It relieves the child from
pa'n, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind
colic, softens the gums, and, by giving rest and
health to the child, comforts the mother.
Phalon's "Vitalia," although transparent and
colorless, will darken gray hair to the exact shade it
wore before it began to fade! Among the triumphs
of toilet chemistry It stands pre-eminent. It is clear

household word."

Mr. William W. Cassidy, the jeweller at No. 8
Soath Second street, has one of the largest and most
attractive stocks of all kinds of Jewelry and Silver
ware In the city. He has also on hand a fine assort
ment of fine American Western Watches. Those
who purchase at this store at the present time are
certain to get the worth of their money.

Paris, Aug. 20 The Figaro of this morning,
quoting the superb tribute in the Afoniteur Uni

of newspaper correspondents, says: The
public keeps an acconnt of the administrative
Insults and outrages to which they have been

London, Aug. 30. The Dublin Nation accuses
the British Ministry and the press ef hostility
to France. The Irishman says, "If ever the sun
of victory should shine again on the drooping
standards of the Emperor after this storm of
war. be will be bound by every sacred tie to
pay England for her titter abase and malignity
for which he is her debtor now."
Ramor. tof Another Battle.
Paris. Aug. 20 Noon, Nothing has yet been
received from the front. There are rumors of
an engagement between Marshal Canrobert and
Prince Frederick Charles; also that the Prince
Royal has penetrated France as far as Vitry le
Francais, nineteen miles southeast of Chalons,
and had an engagement with the forces under
Marshal MacMahon.
Condition of Affairs at C'hnlona.
Advices from Chalons are encouraging and
show the presence there of a large and well-
appointed force, which, combining with that of
Marshal Bazaine, must effect much. Marshal
Bazaine, whose retreat the Prussians say they
kave stopped, is, on the contrary, in a position
enabling him to support the French either at
Metz or Verdun, according to circumstances.
He still keeps his plans and movements pro
foundly secret.
The ReqnUltlon. on the French People.
The "Gaulois" publishes a letter from Lune-
ville to-day, relating te excessive requisitions on
the French by the army of the Prince Royal.
Derxands beyond the power of the inhabitants to
meet are harshly insisted upon, and many need
less acts are committed, sucn as the people will
take deadly revenge for should the Prussians be
forced to retreat.
The Forest, or Boulecne and Vlnceanen.
It is now assured that the forests of Bou
logne and Vincennes will only be cut down in
oase of the loss of a battle in Champagne (near
Chalons), which will render the march on Paris
possible by the enemy.

Paris, Aug. 20 The 1'resse to-day has the
following relative to the movements of the Em
peror: Since the Emperor left Metz on the
14th, he ana ms suite nave traversed an tne vil
lages where combats have taken place since the
battles around Metz oegan. ue was at Longue
vllle on the 14th and Gravelotte on the 15th.
In the latter neighborhood the Prussians were
hidden at several points, and the Emperor had
barely passed through when sharp fighting
commenced. Several French regiments had to
be detailed to protect him on his way.
The next'daywe passed through Conflans,
breakfasted at Etain, and slept at Verdun. Only
a few moments after he left Etaln the Prussian
etat-major breakfasted at the same place. On
his way from Verdun to Chalons the Emperor
passed in plain view of the enemy's pickets. To
day he is at Rheims.
The Uola de Boulogne.
London, Aug. 20. The news of the destruc
tion of the Bols de Boulogne and Vincennes it
confirmed. The people protested, but it was
declared a military necessity for the defense of
the city, and to afford a clean sweep and view.
Count de Palikao decided on this in the Council
of Ministers to-day.
