WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ,1866 OM CIVIC INAIJOVE&L. For the first time in eight years the reins of our city government have changed hands. After a career which has placed him high on the list of our public men, and deep in the regards and esteem of our citizens, Mr. Henry,retires to private life, and Morton McMichael reigns in his stead. As journalists, we feel proud that our craft is thus repre sented in one of its most distinguished members. As citizens, we, feel the deep est interest in the success of our new ad ministration, and Mr. McMichael's in augural address to Select and Common Councils is well calculated,o inspire the confidence that the honor which his predecessor has conferred upon his high office will be fully maintained by our new chief magistrate. Mayor McMichael, after paying a just compliment to the retiring Mayor, pass es on to point out the responsibilities which devolve upon the Executive and Legislative branches of the City Go vernment. He dwells, in eloquent terms, - upon the vast resources, the un rivaled advantages, the future possibil ties of Philadelphia. He reminds us of a cardinal truth, which too many of our citizens have been slow to receive; when he says: "It must ,likewise be admitted that, in 'recent years, whether it be from the over caution inspired by the failure of suc cessive experiments, or from a deficiency in combined and concentrated effort, or from some inexplicable cause, we have not made instant or sufficient use of the natural supe ribrities of our position. While we deliberate, it not unfrerptently happens that others ac' and thus we "Lase the good we oft might win Mai By fearing to attempt." The Inaugural goes on to portray the present condition and future prpspects of our country in its industrial relations and the position which Philadelphia should occupy in the general advance ment of our national prosperity. It declares that "As a manufacturing centre,' in the variety, excellence and cheapness of her productions; in her immense and well regulated establishments; in the educated Skill and the prosperous lives of her work ing classes, she has distanced competition." Mr. McMichael proceeds to indicate . what he and his immediate hearers have to do with promoting these desired results. He maps out a most compre hensive range of official responsibilities when he says: "By perfecting, to the extent of our authority, whatever measures may be cal , cnlated to enhance the wholesomeness of the city, and the comforts of its inhabitants; by carrying to the furthest boundaries of its built.up 'portions the blessings of abundant light and pure water; by, making; inter course: between its broadly separated sec tions inexpensive and frequent; by a rigid enforcement of all provision 4 intended to ma,intain, the public tranquility and protect thepersons and property of the citizens; by a faithful discharge of our duty in these and similar particulars, we shall help forward the grander movements which lie beyond our province." And to these Isesponsibilities he pledges himself and seeks to _commit Cquncils when he concludes:: his admirable ad ilres in this impressive language • "And gentlemen,while in yoursphere,you achieve what is useful and advance what if ornamental; and I, in mine, so.farf as the agencies I am provided with, enable ;me to do so, compel an impartial obseivance: of the laws, then if, through any' supinen;e BB or neglect, which I will not allow myself to ap prehend, Philadelphia fails to yeach that lofty station to which she is entitled, before the tri bunal of our consciences .we shall,. stand acquitted of all complicity." These are not' empty words; bu t the expression of true and Lofty pur, Poses. Our new Mayor is a man who has been actuated, in all his • life, by a proper. and ;worthy, anibition. He is - tnost thoroughly loyal to Philadelphia, and Seeks her honor and prosperity, as well as his g own. enterappon the Mayoralty when it has been rape!' to a high standard of dignity and import ance by his predeceisor, and - his, count lesafrienfls look to hini; conflflently, to - vindicate the wisdom of their choice. There , is a single phrase 4n the In augural which we did not like.: After referring in'glowing terms to the results which mpg flow from a development of - the resources of Philadelphia Mr. McMichael says: "It is true; gentlemen . •:. that Mr:daily neither you nor myself . can do much immediately to promote this desirable consummation." If the Mayor and Councils of ‘Philidelphia.can do;anil they assuredly ein,tltO things re ,counted'in the passage Which:We have quotedabove, they can, "do -much im mediately-to promote this desirable con summation " There'rs a growing determination on the part of our people, and we rejoice at it, to hold our public servants to a stricter performance of their fullest duty.' •I'he • have been evils, in some departrnentsO ki our civil government, which havegrownli by. the ,impunity which has attendediti them, until public attention is tho- .. • roughly aroused. There has beeri much corrupticin, much • wasteful extrava gance, much tampering with crime and complicity with criminals. - From the police officer up, through nearly all the intermediate grades of office, > to' the mosthnportant and responsible positions, there has been a degree of carelessness in the discharge of duty, of disregard of public opinion, and a depreciation of the standards of official integrity, which has reached a point where it must soon begin to work its own 'cure. The masses of our citiens are very jealous of the honor and peace of our city. Wth our onerous taxation comes an incr ing determination to have the full worth of Our ,large expenditures, in a faithful, honest, upright, fearless discharge of official duties. The people desire to see law administered more for the protec tion of the peaceful and innocent, and less as a screen for the lawless and criminal. The people will go heartily with those public servants who go farthest in pressing the laws to their extremest construction in maintaining the order, quiet and safety of our com munity. They will not be satisfied with anything less than this. And we look to our new Mayor, whom we gladly welcome to his honorable post, and to whom we desire to give all the aid and encouragement we can control, so to administer his office as to make it most efficient to the ends for which it is cre ated, and to set such an example of patriotic devotion to duty and fearless fidelity to his responsibilities, as will compel all those who need the lesson, to take it to heart. THE HAND•SHAIIING NUISANCE. It is a very per thing for people to pay respect to distinguished patriots and high officials; but there is no reason why this should always be , done by shaking their hands. President Johnson, on New Year's day, had his right hand wrung by some thou sands of people. The consequence was thatthe hand and arm were, by even ing, badly swollen and inflamed, and he has not yet entirely reecoverd from the infliction. Those who have witnessed a public reception of any distinguished character must have observed what a cruel ordeal it is; and they must also have remarked that many of the men presented are not Satisfied with slightly pressing the.hand, but seize it with a rough grasp and wring it half a dozen or a dozen times. There have even been cases in which it was suspected that there was a design to dislocate or otherwise disable the arm of the person by whom the reception was given. It is time this thing was reformed. Hand-shaking at public re ceptions,where large numbers of persons are presented, should be discontinued altogether; or else the persons meant to be honored should be provided with a false arm, which would not feel the rough treatment of a promiscuous crowd. The custom is a republican one, and in that respect is not to be com plained of. But when people abuse the privilege and put the President of the Uniteu States in bodily pain for days, it ,ought to be forbidden. We hope Presi dent Johnson will forbid it at his next general reception. WESTERN VIEW OF THE TARIFF In an article on the subject of Protec tion of Home Manufactures, the Chicago Republican takes the ground that the people of the West should favor an ade quate tariff. It alludes to reports that certain representatives in Congress from that section have resolved to oppose any alterations in the tariff which will secure home manufactures 'Against foreign competition, and adds: "Here in the West, manufactures are rapidly springing up, and the farmers are inter ested in their prosperity and develop ment almost as much as those who are directly concerned in them. We appre hend, accordingly, that any Western representative who votes against such dtities upon foreign wares as will save from destruction our own infant iron, mills, woollen mills, flax mills, cotton mills, and the like, will find himself condemned by his constituents." We rejoice to see so unequivocal an expression of sentiment from so influ ential a quarter. The West has 'here tofore, to some extent, misapprehended its true interests in the matter of Piotection, and it is time that sound, healthy and comprehensive views should bp held Airougliout that wok and rapidly gr*ffig and strengthening section of the Republic. AMIJEIERILENTh. Tai ITALIAN OPERA.—There was the best paying audiencelait evening at the Academy offlusic that has ever been there except on the occasion of the (visit of the Prince of. Wales. The receipts were over six thou hal:10011=S. The family circle and amphitheatre were as MoWdell as,werc the lower parts of the douse, and hundreds of, paeotui had to stand. , ; Illeyerbeer's 'Posthumous opera, rAfricaine, was the occasion - ottlds'eXtraordinary gathering. "His name, ettlecialif:litiaclaid to a new opera, always brings out our tmusidial , popnlation, poor as welt as rich, and last evening the ruunoof the opera probably attracted the AmericanS of ,4flitcan descent, for tho, colored depart- Ment of the:amphitheatre was filled with well4ressed and well-behaved people: A t first hearing , of any opera is Masatisfitstory, and esnecialli,of lo ng one by an selentific audlngenious al comp:mm.4l.s Meyerbeer. But eitfiicatrie,tzt'spite-of its let gth and the long enteactes,interested the audi ence last night; and all the mere fiaportant scenes gave unqualified 'delight. We are not ready to put it in the 'same rank as Itobert, Les' Huguenots and Le THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, WEDNERAT,,,JANTURY 3, 1866: "7 • .EtopifPte, but it it is eq , al to Dinorall,and superior to ILTPitad'u' lord, an , this notwithatainliii the diffi cult material for which the composer wrote; for the story vi theAfricains is improbable and singularly de ficient In interest and in dramatic Sllantitiiii. 1 WPOIOI'.nOt attempt a review., Of the -*nate, but only allude to a few points. . The shOrtorchestral pre ludeht written most ingeniously`and is full of graceful melediefragMents. The first act,which ins been called Weak, impressed us mostfavorably, the finale, a good part - 01 which is in unison, being particularly fine. In the second act there is a good scene bettieen "Sellka" (ltinte. Carozzi-Zucchi) and "Nelusko" (Benin% and ,therfinale, , ,Of tills act is a grand compositton. The ref set, which is on board ship, has , nothing par-: t -ularly striking as music, except a solo for Nelusko, • ~ fMething in the veinof the "Piff-paff" of Lea Hugue_ 1' p€ 4. whichtllellitti sings most admirably. The fourth latt,a is distingmahed by a grand duo between ' "Sellka' And "Vasco" (Mazzoleni) which, in a musical point of .'. etscis almost worthy to be compared to' the great ~,:.411,5fetpuirlots,but the situation is less dramatic. 6 r t,act contains a long and finely conceived sce 'Or "Selika," which was most effectively sung andtitel , l,by lime. Carozzi-Zucchi. 01 co 4e.oiere are many other noticeable numbers lii the oPera, which can be better appreciated on a fur ther hereetid.' There are fine choruses and some good ballernithile:.;.Thi, style of last night's performance was worthynialhpraise. lime. Carrozzi-Zucchi's rich full voice, excellent method and admirable acting gave the best effect i.o . ,the',rille of "Selika." Mine. Boiusio was equally good asl.lnez.'" her handsome face and figure, fresh, well-trained voice and gracefuLintelligent acting being all that ,colald be desired in the part of Inez. Signor Mazzoleil, as "Vascci.di Gama," sang superbly sad actectwith great intensity and with the manly dignity for which he is noted above all the tenors we have beard. Signor Belllni, in the important part of "Nelusito," acted and sang remarkably' well; and Sig nor Antonucci was equally good as "Don Pedro." The minor parts were also well sustained. The orchestra and chorus were worthy of all praise. Although the perfoi mance was not over until after midnight, the audience showed no signs of weariness, and the ap_ plause was frequent and hearty. We hope the Afri cains will be repeated before the compony leaves us. This evening Donizetti's popular opera of Poliuto (The Martyrs) . will be played, strongly cast: Signor massimji Ant, the excellent tenor, will make Ins first appearance this Season. i ' The companies of the three theatres appear this at eracion at the Chestnat for the benefit of the Actors' Art Union. At the same theatre this evening "The Sleeping Beauty" and the successful new comedletta of "Caught at Last," by Mr. Woolf, will be given. At the Walnut and Arch last night's bills will be repeated.
