Heavy Snow on the Santa Fe Trail.
The weather has been unusually cold this
winter in the Western States and Territories.
The Santa Fe Journa/, of Nov. 21, says:
The Santa Fe coach came in yesterday,
having been detained by the heavy snows
on the route. The coach brought in oar
fellow-townsman, Major Jewett, and also
Colonel Collins and Messrs. 011endorf, Den
man and Spear, of New Mexico. Several
passengers stopped off at Council Grove to
rest from the fatigues of the long trip, until
the next coach. The passengers report snow.;
all the way from Santa Fe to Council Grove,
from eight to twelve inches in depth, and
the Arkansas was crossed upon the ice.
Scattered along the route from Fort Zarah,
west, are upward of twenty trains, bound
in by the snow, with their cattle dying daily
by cold and starvation. Of one train, with
one hundred and forty oxen, but forty are
left, and the teamsters are in many instances
leaving, and making their way to the set
tlements as they beat can. Heavy losses
and great suffering is resulting from attempt
ing to freight across.the plains so late in the
season.
The Indians on the route are nominally
peaceable, but the deserted trains of valuable
goods will be a strong temptation to renew
plunder by, them—possibly too strong to be
resisted.
THE CLAQUE IN PARIS.-Every theatre
in Paris has its own claque,. and every
claque has its own leader, who is practically
as much a leader as the leader of the orches
tra, and is professionally designated le chef
de la claque. The management deals with
the chef only, who employs his own assist
ants, and is responsible for them. These
assistants are continually changed and
badly paid, and vigorous measures are
adopted to secure their dillegence and punc
tuality. The chef, who is permanent,makes
a large income, and his cabriolet at the stage
door indicates the position he has acquired
in the theatre. His sources of income are
numerous and elastic. He is paid a regu
lar salary by the manager, and in
addition he levies black mail on the
artistes. Every artiste must pay him. No
pay, no applause; and as the actor cannot
live • without applause, pay is inevitable.
The usual mode is to enter into a contract
for a month. The minimum fee fora month,
from the poorest and most obscure perscin in
the theatre, may be set down at fifty francs.
The mardmum has no ,limit. It mounts
according to the ambition or the means of
the actor. As much as five hundred francs
have been known 'to be paid fora single
night's applause. =Thee ordinary month's
contract does not cover all occasions. When
a new play is brought out, or a stock play
is reprcxinced, each of the actors is per
sonally waited upon for instructions as to
the particular passages at which they desire
applatu3e, and fees are charged' accordingly.
ST. DOMINGO.
Another Revolution—Downfall of Ca
bral---Baez in Power—Melo
dramatic Scene in ..the
Dominican Con
gress, &c.
ITrom to•day'e New York Herald.]
Further news has been received from St.
Domingo, reporting another revolution
there under very peculiar circumstances.
The last news was that Cabral had peaco
ably succeeded Pimentel.
On the 16th of October, a party of insur
gents entered Azua, and proclaimed Baszias
the President. A numberof the people of
tho province of Seibo joined them, and they
proceeded toward the capital with cries of
'Long live Baezli ' and "Death to Cabral!"
They evidently had confederates in the
government; for, at the critical moment,
a curious scene took place in the Supreme .
Congress, which was in session deliberating
on the question of the emission of ' paper
money. A "mysterious man," armed with
a cutlass, entered suddenly and, despite all
protests, exclaimed:
"General Cabral, are you in favor of
peace?" •
"With all my heart," was the response.
"Well, then," said the stranger, "I am an
emissary of the revolutionary chief, who
will be here in less than two hours;" and
then raising his voice, he exclaimed, "Long
live General Baez, President of the Domini
can republic !"
As these words resounded through the
hall a scene of utter confusion ensued. The
ministers abandonbd their seats and in ter
ror sought protection in the houses of the
French, Italian and English Consuls. Ca
bral, however, appeared in public and de
clared that if the popular :voice and welfare
demanded the rule of Baez he would gladly
give his consent. The popular feeling now
turned in favor of Cabral, and he •retained
power for several weeks. •
The mysterious man who had frightened
the Congress soon appeared again. He
proved to be General Pedro Guillermo, and
manage so as to have himself appointed
Dictator until Baez should arrive. An
election was held on the 14th of December
by the Constitutional Assembly unani
mously appointing Buenaventura Baez
President of the Dominican republic.
Cabral has accepted a Military position
under the government, of which Guillermo,
the mysterious man, is the practical head.

New Jersey Matters.
A NOVEL LAW Surr.—An interesting case
is about to be determined at the February
term of the Court of Chancery, in New
Jersey. The facts in the case are these:
Under the last call of the President (Dec.
19, 1864), for three hundred thousand men,
the quota of the North Ward of the city of
Camden was one hundred and twenty-four
men. To raise these men, a drafted men's
association was formed, and the City Coun
cil voted four hundred dollars for each
drafted man. Thomas McKean and Samuel
B. Garrison, citizens of Camden,volunteered
their services to free the Ward from draft,
and assisted in raising a very considerable
sum of money. After the quota was filled,
there remained a surplus fund of $3,950.
This sum properly belonged to the drafted
men who had filled the quota.
Butby a resolution surreptitiously passed
Messrs. McKeen and Garrison pretended to
claim the amount of money ($3,950) for the
purpose of establishing a Dispensary. The
drafted men do not object to the Dispensary
but they object to the use of their money;
the surplus which properly' belongs to each
drafted man pro. rata, being used to establish
any institution in the organization of which
they have no voice. The case will be argued
before Chancellor Green, a very able lawyer.
Some of the drafted men are in necessitous
circumstances and some few of them have
died, leaving their families dependent upon
the city. The case creates much interest
=tong our citizens. James M. Scovel and
George S. Woodhall, Esgrs., represent the
drafted men, and A. Browning and Wm. D.
Cooper, Esgrs., represent McKean and Gar
rison.
ANOTILEE CONVENIENCE —Since the com
pletion of the large Ferry Depot, at the foot
of Federal street, the platform for the West
Jersey trains has been extended down , to
the south side of the ferry. Passengers
have now but a few feet to walk to reach
the boat. Capt. Frazee, the Superintendent
of the ferry, has evinced no ordinary talent
in the perfect arrangements made. Conye
nience of access and economy of space, are
blended with beauty of finish, all looking
to the comfort of travelers.
GoT OFF SAFELY.—On Saturday last the
schooner Armenia Bartlett, Capt. Bartlett,
which was driven ashore in 'a heavy gale at
Atlantic City, a fevr days before, was got off
in a safe condition by, Japhet , Townsend,
wreckmaster. It was loaded with coal;
from Georgetown, D. C., and about 175 tons
bad to be thrown overboard. The schooner
was then taken into Egg Harbor, but little
damaged.
Mks DAILY EVENING BULLETIN; ~I3 I IILA.DELPRIA., FRIDAY,:JANUARY
BOY PROWNED.-A. few days. since, Wil
liam Ashbrook, a son of John C Eastlaelt,
Esq:, who ‘ resides near Carpenter's Land '
ing, Gloucester county, was drowned in the
Pine Mill Pond., He, in company with
several others, was on the ice, when it
broke, 'and he went under. All efforts to
save him were fruitless. His body was re
covered about an hour afterwards. De
ceased was in his thirteenth year.
CHIME or BELLS.-St. Mary's Church, at
Burlington, is to have , a chime of bells.
The congregation and officers of that church
have sent to London for a set, and they were
shipped on the 22d of December. It is the
i
try
inteL ion of those having the matter in
charge, to pl ce them in proper position, so
that their me peals may ring out on the
22d of February.
BURGLARS - rx BORDENTOWN.—Thieves
and burglars have again tommenced opera
tions in Bordentown. A night or two ago
they made an unsuccessful attempt to rob,
by breaking into the newspaper office and
barber shop in that place. What ever fin
duced them to go into the newspaper office
is a mystery, but in the barber shop they
might have obtained a "little soap."
RAIIICOCAS M. E. Cirunou.—The members
connected with the Sabbath School of the
M. E. Church, at Rancocas , held a very in
teresting exhibition last evening, and will
repeat the same this evening, for the pur
pose of advancing the interests of that al
ready flourishing school. •

FIRE IN THE TWENTIETH WARD—THREE
MEN BURNED.—Last evening, about half
past eight o'clock a fire broke out in a four
storied brick structure at the southwest cor
ner of Franklin street and Girard avenue,
owned by Thomas L. Price and occupied
in the basement, first and second stories by
Jacob Rech, wheelwright, and the third
story by H. Price, chairmaker. The flames
originated on the first floor, which was used
for painting wagons. There were a large
number of wagons in the apartment and
they were more or less damaged. The fire
ran up the staircase to the third story,
but was extinguished before any great
headway had been gained. The whole loss
is estimated at $3,000.
• Charles Schwartz, a painter employed in
the establishment, was badly burned about
the face and hands by his clothes taking
fire. He was conveyed to his residence, No.
1313 Randolph street. Two other workmen
were slightly burned.

COURTS.
SUPREME CounT—Chief Justice Wood
ward, and Justices Thompson, Strong and

cluded this morning, and the Court ad
journed at an early hour.
OYER AND TRantrsrEE—Judges Allison
and Ludlow. The ease of Jefferson Spanier,
charged with the murder of Patrick Con
cannon, was concluded yesterdayafternoon.
After ie Commonwealth had closed its tes
timony, the Counsel for the prisoner pro
posed thatthe case should end without any
evidence for the defence, if the Court would
consent to a verdict of guilty of manslaugh
ter. The verdict as suggested was taken.
This morning the entire session was taken
up in the effort to secure a jury in the case
of John Conner, charged with the murder
of a boy named Fitzpatrick, on the night of
October 3lst, 1865, at a public house, Darby
road, near the Blue Bell. A party of young
men were enioying themselves, when the
-
prisoner in company with others, entered,
created a disturbance, and then when about
to leave, discharged a pistol into the crowd,
killing the boy. Conner was afterwards
arrested while crossing the Gray's Ferry
Bridge, disguised by the addition of false
whiskers to his face. A jury had not been
obtained when our report closed.
Death of the Rev. Dr. Contraings.
The Roman Catholic Church of this coun
try has suffered a great loss by the death of
the Rev. Dr. J. W. Cummings, the well
known and popular pastor of St. Stephen's
Church in this city, who died at his resi
dence in East Twenty-ninth street, at an
early hour yesterday morning. Dr. Cum
mings has published several works, one of
which, "Italian Legends," was issued seve
ral years ago; another, "Spiritual Pro
gress," in 1561. The influence of Dr. Cum
mings in his church and his social standing
in this community were very high. He
took a leading part in all the Catholic
movements of his diocese, but at the same
time remained on the best of terms in social
life with his Protestant fellow-citizens. In
this respect, indeed, he had few, if any,
equals among the priests of his church.
He was generally regarded as one of the
greatest Roman Catholic scholars of the
country, and he was, therefore, often ap
plied to for authentic information on Ro
man Catholic subjects.—N. Y. Trtbune.
