THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1870.
MUSICAL. AH DRAMATIC.
"Jains nrsar" at the Academy of ftlufttc.
In Bplte of the previous disappointments, a largo
audience was Attracted last evening to the Academy
of Mnsio to see the performance of Julius Ccesar.
This noble play Is one of Shakespeare'! most
nature works, and It Is literally a crystallization of
history, No other writer than Shakespeare has ever
gone so to the bean of a great subject, and within
the limits of five btlef acts so reproduced an era In
history without crowding his personages and Inci
dents, and without omitting anything that la essen
tial. In Its outlines the tragedy of Julius Cmsar is
wonderfully true to history, and this very fidelity,
while It adds greatly to its Interest as
a closet play, interferes to some extent with Its
affect upon the stage. The death of "Caesar" Is appa
rently the natural climax of the tragedy, but the
men who assassinated khlm were no common
Intriguants and murderers, and It was necessary to
carry out the conspiracy to Its legitimate conoiuslon
In the death of "Brutus" and "Caasius." Thtspro-
nces the effect of an anticlimax, and yet the last
two acts are the ones that we would be least wllllnr
to lose, as they give ns the famous quarrel scene
between "Brutus" and "Casslus," with their recoa
clllatlon and the melancholy ending of their careers ;
and they serve also to exhibit the characters of the
two men more clearly than would have been possi
ble In the lnclpiency and progress of the conspi
racy, and to show how, with such leaders of a
great political revolution, It must of neces
sity fall. Another reason why the
play la not altogether satisfactory In representa
tion In the division of Interest between the leading
characters. "Julius Caesar" Is the nominal hero, but
Brutus" Is, with undoubted propriety, made the
most prominent figure. At the same time "Brutus"
Is to Borne extent a pasiive Instrument In the hauda
of other men, and "Casslus" is the active agent in
the conspiracy. Supplementary to these we have
the figure of "Marc Antony" delineated In Shake
epeare's most maBtcrly manner as the friend o
Csesar," and,"wlth "Octavlus," the avenger of his
death, while at the same time he Is playing with
equal boldness and skill a game that he hopes wl.l
enable him to grasp "CscsarV power.
The performance of Juliu Caesar at the Academy
of Music last evening, while It lacked some elements
of completeness, was exceptionally good. Mr. E. L.
Davenport represented "Brutus" as the gentleman,
scholar, and patriot that Shakespeare drew, and Mr.
Frank Mayo personated the fiery and less scrupulous
' 'Casslus" with much force, albeit he was at times
overcome by the temptations that the play holds out
for over-declamation. This is a fault that Mr. Mayo
is not commonly guilty of, and a further study of the
part must convince him that his personation will lose
nothing In power by being a trine more sub
dued in manner. Mr. McDonough, who assumed
the part of "Cassa" at short notice, invested It with
considerable humor, as was fitting, and with much
abominable elocution that Is open to no extenuation.
Mr. F. C. Bangs was a capable representative of
' 'Marc Antony," although his elegant delivery of the
oration over the body of "Caesar" was artificial
rather than natural. Mr. Charles Morton gave a fair
representation, and Mr. A. II. Davenport filled the
minor role of "Octavlus Caisar" satisfactorily. The
female characters In this play are of small import
ance, but what "Portia" and "Calphurnla" had to
do was well done by Madame l'onlsl and Miss Josle
Orton.

State Officers la Trouble
Inspector Charles C. Overbeck and Deputies Wil
liam Kncass and George T. Perry were arraigned
before Alderman McColgan at noon yesterday,
charged, on the oath of Joseph F. Slnnott, with
conspiring together with persons unknown, under
cover of their offices as Inspectors and deputy in
spectors of domestic distilled spirits, to extort
money wrongfully and illegally from the makers and
venders of domestic distilled spirits, and to oppress,
vex, and harass them In their business. Also, with
misdemeanor in office in marking domestic distilled
spirits as Inspected which they well knew were not
inspected, and charging and collecting the Inspec
tor's fees thereon, and In using their office as In
spectors for the purpose of extortion and for their
own private gains outside of the fees allowed by law.
Defendants waived a hearing, and entered ball In
the sum of jlSUQ each for their appearance at court.
A Nuisance Persons who have frequently
passed over Chesnut Street Bridge during the last
year nave no ciouut noticed, anu wm rememoer, me
fact that on the wharves immediately adjoining the
bridge large piles of borse manure were thrown
early in the fall of 1SG5, and have since lain there
exposed to every change of weather, and creating
a most unpleasant and unhealthy stench. The
amount has been changed at dltferent times, and
the pile has been several times stirred and worked
over, to Its greatly increased value, but also to its
greatly Increased disagreeableness. The atmosphere
has at times been almost unendurable on the
bridge, and quite perceptloly tainted at a distance of
two squares east or west, according to the wind, so
that the residents of West Philadelphia have been
much annoyed, and visitors to that portion of the
city often much disgusted.
To a statement of these facts the Board of Health,
or rather its officer, replied that "manure, In itself,
is not considered a nuisance" (or words to this
effect), and that Councils "have granted
the use of these wharves for this busi
ness." In other words, though the air is
filled wltn the foulest gases from decaying and
decayed manure ; though many of the citizens of
two whole wards are compelled to pass through this
atmosphere, or else to go far out of the way; and
though nine-tenths of the strangers who visit our
city from the North and West are brought to the
hotels over this bridge; in Bplte of these things the
Board of Health, charged with abating all nuisances,
Is powerless to abate this.
Manifestly, it should he attended to. If the nealth
Officer is powerless, the Councllmen of theJTwenty
fourth and Twenty-seventh wards have the chance
to remedy the evil and win the gratitude of the
people who hoped to find health and pure air in re
turn for the distance travelled every day in going to
antl from business. Should the abuse continue, our
city will only the longer be disgraced. The Board
of Health and our Councllmen should look to this
matter.
The Population op West Chester The census
returns from West Chester Bhow that that borough
has now a white population of 4708 and a colored
population of 903. In i860 the whites numbered
4196 and the colored 561, thus showing an increase
since that time of 612 whites and 34'! colored. The
present white population consists of 2021 males and
2686 females, and the colored or 895 males and 508
females. This is an increase of 12 per cent on the
white and 60 per cent, on the colored population for
the ten years. There are 677 persons of foreign
birth in the borough, and these consist of 255 males
and 822 females. There are 1103 dwellings and 1105
families, with an average of five persons to a
family.
At a meeting of the Trustees of the University of
Pennsjlvauia, held on Tuesday last, it was deter

have been adopted. It is designed to erect four
buildings at once on the ten acres, which will be
architectural ornaments to the city, and which will
probably be completed within two years.

It is now stated that the appointment of a

Wade is now here, but professes to know

MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
THB EFFECTS OF PEACE ON TUB MONEY MARKET.
The Economist believes it to be certain that if
there should be a sudden peace, and if any govern
ment were established iu Karls in which Europe felt
tolerable confidence, much money would leave
London, and what remained would rise in value.
And this for several reasons:
First. As it is, money would go to Tarls according
to all common exchange caluclations ; but in fact it
does not go because the ordinary basis of those cal
culations is at an end. Those calculations univer
sally assume that there is no danger from war or
civil commotion to the transit of bullion. Aud Just
now there is extreme danger. But If the war aud
commotion should cease, this exceptional variation
would be at an end, and money would flow from us
ftS u&u&l.
Second. There is a considerable sum of money
(though how large no one knows) sent here for secu
rity, because of the war and because of the revolu
tion in France. If. therefore, the war should on a
sudden cease, and if a fairly strong government
should arise in Paris, the reason why this money
was sent here would be over, and in a little while it
would be sure to leave us.
Third. We have been buying goods In France, In
cited more or less by the low prices there consequent
on the war. Some of the purchase-money is now
left here for safe custooy, but all would go at once
if France became as safe as usual, or at all like It.
Lastly, as soon as the war Is over, France oertalnly,
and perhaps Germany also, must begin to borrow
largely.
FEARS THAT TAKIS MAY BE BURNED.
The rail Mall Gazette says: "There is some rea
son to lear that Paris may be burned down by the
besieged even if she escapes the besiegers. There
are in that city vast stores of petroleum, alcohol,
aud other combustible agents to be used ill its de
fense. These stores are at present covered with a
thick layer of earth, welch might be a suiiicient pro
tection under ordinary circumstances, but to say no
thing of the possibility of a shell penetrating this
covering, the danger must be extreme of a general
explOHlou when we take into account the reckless
ness of desperate men who, lu their eagerness to
utilize every means at their disposal for the destrje
tlon of the enemy, are not likely to be careful
as to the safety either of themselves or the city tliey
are defending. Perhaps, as regards destruction of
property, the hideous waste of war has never in the
world's history been more forcibly illustrated than
in the mere possibility at present existing of Paris
being laid in rums."
TUB REVOLUTION.
The Saturday Review says that when the Empire
had been struck with sudden paralvsis it could, iu the
first Instance, have no successor but a Jtesublio.
The popular instinct feels an Inevitable attraction to
ward that form of government which is urist unlike
the one which has been disgracd; aud though
republicanism of the French type is smuuie
hardly distinguishable from despotism, tbe resem
blances lie deep down, while the dt-itincHoiis are all
on the surface. Nor can any one who desires to
see a constitutional inouareuj established In Franoe
regret that the exiteruneut should not have been
tried at this juncture. The first requisite of stable
government in France is that the real forces of the
country should be left to nod their natural level. Iu
lhftl this salutary process wm interrupted oy the
ptrkcud and Uyuastic ambition ol the Ute Emperor.

TIIE IMPERIAL EXILE.
lhe Emperor, and his Fnmilr Eaa-enle Loth
to Abdlcnte-Nnpoleon fhlecmatlo and Ite
slaned. A Paris correspondent of the London Tines gives
some interesting particulars rapectlBg the flight of
the imperial family :
The members of the Imperial Family were not all
equally happy in the manner of their exit. Princess
Mathilde was arrested on Sunday afternoon at Puys,
near Dieppe, and her luggage, amounting to no less
than 62 packages, was also taken into custody.
Prince Napoleon, whose return from Italy was lately
announced as Imminent, has probably changed bis
mind, and will remain at Turin or Moncallerl.
Princess Clot tide nobody has seemed disposed to
molest. She has always been exemplary In her con
duct and bearing, and has been respected accord
ingly. She left the Palais Royal at eight o'clock:
yesterday morning, having previously sent for the
captain and lieutenant of the National Uuard then
on duty, to whom she expressed her regret at
being obliged to quit Paris. She made a gracious
little speech, thanked them for their protec
tion, and shook them by the hand. of the de
parture of the Empress, all I can at present posi
tively tell you is that not one of the accounts as
yet given or It is correct, that there was great dif
ficulty Jn getting her away from the Tullertes,
which she did not leave till rather a dangerously
late hour on Sunday afternoon, and that Pletrl was
iiotin attendance upon her. Neither was she in
man's clothes, as it has been reported, and by many
believed. I can tell you also that she had a narrow
escape, for as she was driving away In a hack cab
Into which she got at some distance from the Tulle
rles, a small boy recognized her, and cried out,
"There Is the Empress." Fortunately no one was at
hand to hear, or the consequences might have been
dl agreeable. If the Empress had resigned her
power Id to the hands of the Chamber when news
came of MacAlahou's disaster and the Emperor's
surrender, I fully believe she would have been able
to go away as the Princess Clotllde did, without
concealment or molestation. She was not popular,
but neither can it be said she was particu
larly obnoxious. But she clung ti her
palace with pardonable tenacity, after every hop
was gone, and friendly violence had to be used at
last to get her away. Hne could not make up her
mind to the reverse of fortune, and to relinquish the
throne she fondly hoped would be her son's, and her
grief and regret are likely to be great and lasting.
Not so with the Kmperor. All the accounts here
received represent him as taking his downfall wltn
great philosophy. A French railway conductor
passed through Vervlers when the Emperor was
there, and was advised, as he was going straight to
Paris, to go and see him, and offer to take charge
of any commissions for his former capital. lie was
admitted, and found Napoleon In general's uniform,
surrounded by a number of other generals, among
them the Belgian Count ChazaL "V hat do they say
at Paris?" he asked. The conductor explaided that
he had left it before the last great events occurred.
The Emperor thanked him for his offer, said
he had no commissions, gave htm a tumbler of
champagne, and dismissed him. Tbe man de
scribed him as seeming quite composed and cheer
ful, and in vary good health. This reported phleg
matic indifference under misfortune has not made
a good impression here. The Government said the
Emperor "had been made prisoner In the struggle,"
Instead of which he reached the Prussian headquar
ters in an open carriage, surrounded by outriders,
and smoking' a cigarette. That eternal cigarette
exasperates the French. Old familiars of tbe Km
peror and of Louis Napoleon the exile are not In the
least surprised at his conduct, which they look upon
aa quite natural In a fatalist, which they maintain
he ras always been. "lie will not be at all un
happy," one ef them lately said; "he will enjoy life
spaiu, and will console himself by the reflection
that be bas had bis dav, and is even now far better
oir than as the needy expatriated Prince In London
lodgings."
The Standard publishes the following:
The accounts of the conduct aud state of the Em
press during the last few days of her husband's
reign are most touching. She is described as having
neither ate nor slept, but as working unremittingly
with the Ministers. Her constant cry was "Xe sonnet
pal a la iynastie, sonpez teulenient a la France." W
are also told that for days after the disaster of
Woerlh, the Kmperor sat silent and immovable. He
is said to have fought on foot from five A. M. till
three P. 11. on the fatal 1st September.
