WM. S. PEROT. Trea. 4111 MAY. led& froyhati N. W. eon Sixth and Master eto Iti THE course of the comment made by this paper upon the first performance of Tangled Threads, at the Arch Street Theatre, the very objectionable interview in the first act between "I)argle" and "Fanny" was severely censured. The a/taut:at, rather than the language, was offensive. The actor (Mr. Everly) was con strained by the absolute requirements of the part; and, in some slight degree, by the language, to give the scene the character it bore. It would be unjust, in view of this fact, and in view of the actual arrangement of the original play as it ex ists in manuscript, to attach the blame to the actor, which should belong entirely to the author. THE THEATRES.— Mr. John Brougham ap peared at the Walnut last evening in his drama, The Lottery of Life, which will be repeated to night. While this play bas been shorn of its most objectionable features, it is still of such a low grade that Mr. Brougham cannot hope to attract audiences of a very intellectual character. We liope that during his engagement he will appear in some of those personauons in which he has teen wont to excite the enthusiasm of his admi rers in days past. "The great Morlacchi" did not appear at the Chestnut last . night, according to announcement, but the management are entitled to entire exoneration from blame. Great clan :era, like Other great artists are apt to be careless about their obligations; genius of the legs like genius of the soul is inclined to eccentricity. It may be regarded as nearly certain that Morlacchi will appear in the Black Crook this evening. Miss Fanny 'B. Price will appear in Tangled Threads at the Arch to-night. The drama The Poor Noldenula will also 'be given. A varied perfor mance is announced at the American. ELEVENTH STREET.OPERA HOUSE.—fin attrac tive performance will be given , at this , popular place of amusement. The Impeachment Trial will be given, with the most accomplished.paem bers of the company in the parts; a burlescrue on Tangled Threads is also announced, together with other burlesques, farces, singing by Cameron and the company, negro eontiealities, and a mul titude of other good things. CONCERT HALL.—This evenin at Concert Hall a panorama will be exhibited descriptive - ;of:a journey through the Holy Land, Egypt, Syria and Turkey. The pictures are of the handsomest description, and are painted from photographs and sketches taken especially for this purpose. An eloquent speaker will deliver the descriptive lecture. TUE NEW WEST.—This Tuesday evening Major Calhoun, who has just returned from an extended tour in the far west, will deliver a lecture upon the above theme, at, Green Rill Hall. corner of Seventeenth and Poplar streets.

A Convention at the Corners to Nom inate a County Ticket—Hoar Joe iilsler Perverted the Resolution Usually Adopted at such conven• %lons, POW DI7I6,CONFEDIIIT X ROADS, (Wick is in the State uv Kentneky, April 26, 1868.—There never will be peace or anything like it at the Corners till that disturber Joe Bigler, and his faithful adherent, alder and abetter Pollock . , are shot or otherwise killed. In the olden time, afore the inoggerashen nv the Ablishen era, we hed a short way •uv disposin uv eieb. It wuz a maxim in the South that ther could be, peeve only where ther wnz a perfeck yoonanimity uv sentiment and to bring about that onenis of Idees—that delitefal con cord wick wuz so desirable—we were in the habit nv shootin or hangin the most stubborn nv those wick didn't agree with the majority, and tarrin and featherin those who were yet accessible to Kentucky reason. By vlggerusly persooin this. course the minorities in this vicinity wuz kept tollobly small and controllable. Why these cusses havent bin so treated passes my compre hension. Our Convensbun to nominate candidates for county offices wnz held yesterday. I wnz cheer man nv course, for I now okkupy that posishen (since it wnz discovered that Capt. McPelter kin rite he hez bin Eiekretary), and I felt a sinkin sensashen when I saw that cuss Bigler and that other cues Pollock enter the door. Deekin Pogrom, ez he saw em, bled over. Rising to his feet, the venerable -old patriark ex claimed In a voice tremulous with emoshun, wat in thunder he wuz there for. "Josef, hey yoo a rite to set in a Dimocratit convenshun, holdin, ez•yoo do, opinyuns the re verse or Dimocratic ?" "Deekin," returned this Bigler, "I carry in my body Fedral lead—l , wuz under the Contedrit nag in sixty battles, skirmishes and skedaddles. I hey a certifikit to that effeck from the late lamented John Morgan. That certifikit wood admit me to a seat in any Diuiocratic Convenshun in the North—shel it not be sufficient here in Kentucky? Alars, the Profit is not without honor save in his own Cross Roads." And Josef let on he wept, when Pollock oaten ta E•buslv handed him a pocket bandkercher. "Ef I held any hetrodox views I hey repented or cm, tne and Pollock, and we perpose to vote for all yet resoloosbens, like frisky lambs wat is glad to get back to the troo fold. Don't we, Pol lock ?" "Certin, we do. The Convenshun may go on and count us in ez troo converts Irom Abilishen; which, in view of the fact that my store hez bin set on fire twict becoz of my awful opinions, I may be sed to be litraily a brand pluckt from the burnin. Go on." Findin they wuz bound to stay, we went on. The first thiLg in order wuz the adopehen uv re ,mlooshens, ez follows: I. We resolved we bed the utmost confidence in Androo Johnson, President uv the Yoonited Mates. pervided he wuzu't impeached; of he wuz, then we shood hey the privilege uv considrin him worthy uv confidence or not, ez the circumstances uv the case shood warrant. 2. That the Congrisuy the Yoonite.d States wuz unconstitoosbnel body, with vvuz persistently endeavriu td break up the Government uv the l'oonited States, with we wuz ez persistently t•trivin to save. 3. That the only hope uv Yoonun lay in the displacement uv sich traitors ez Grant, Sumner and Stevens, and the puttin their in places sich gileless patriots ez Breckenndge, Brite, Vallan dygum, et al. 4. That the thanks uv the Democracy is due the people Tr: the South for their forbearance in not rising to sweep the radical faction from the face of the earth. ' At this pint Big,ler arose. He wanted to know cf this coavenshen stylin itself Democratic, wuz agoin to be satisfied with them resoloash ent? - He called for the readin uv the regler one, without which no Democratic platform wuz com plete. He referred to the one dedicatin this Gov ernment forever to white men. "Here it is," he ecti : Restdeed, That this Government wnz established by white men, and that white men will keep it intact for white men and their posterityforever. "I demand, ez a white man, sed this Bigler, "that this resolooslitin be added. Let every white man, every proud Caucashen, who believes in race, say 'aye,' and with emphabis." And every one nv em hollered out "aye" with all their mite. "Good!" sed Bigler, "good. White men and their posterity! wat a noble sentiment. Bay, 'aye' to my resolooshun agin." And they yelled "aye" agin. "Now Pollock, brother in the troo faitlinesvly baptized, will you open the door? Its better to be a doorkeeper in the house uv Democracy than to dwell in the tents of Ablishnism. Open the door." Wich Pollock did,and then entered—wat! Good Heavens! A HUNDRED MULATTO, QUADROON AND OCTOROON :imams—TWO BY TWO "Wat does this mean ?" shrieked I "Who are them ?" gasped Deekin Pogrom. "H-11 !" Bed Issaker Gavitt profanely. "They are the posterity referred to in my reso looshen. 'This Government wuz established by white men and shel be preserved for white men and their posterity,' I think it read. These are the posterity. There may be a few here who wood be barred out on the score fly bein the pos terity of white women, but these are excepshuns. I shoot] hey inclooded white women in my reso looshun. The majority nv those here, ez yoo kin easily determine by their color, are the pos terity nv white men. They are not pure black. Here is every shade from the subdood yallor of mulatto up to the almost White uv him who hez only a sixteenth part nigger blood in his veins. UV course they will take seats and assist us in nominatin the ticket with called us together." "Uv course they won't!" roared Deekin Po gram. "I will never set in a convenahen with niggers—never! never!! never ! I !" "Very good. If this is the yoonanimns deci sion, we won't nominate any ticket I take the responsibility uv bustin this Convenshen. But, oh, Deekin! wat a goin back on yoor prin ciples! Dare yoo deny that these shades, these modified mokcs, are the posterity uv white men? Deekin, should you cast yoor beamin eye over this assemblage, wood ent it rest parentally and lovinly onto yoor own posterity? Oh, Deekin, of yoo go back on the resoloosben which yoo yoonanimonely voted for, don't, I beg nv yoo, go back onto nacher. Don't desert yoor childrin.. Don't turn a deaf ear to the pleading nv nacher, or a blind eye to,her sup plications. Hannibal Pogrom, go and beg yoor father to permit yoo, his posterity, skarcely blacker than he and a cusaid site handsomer, to mix in this yore caucus." The Deekin indignantly left the room, and I follered soot, wick eggsample wuz follered by all uv us. Bigler and Pollock remained and nomi nated a ticket uv these half-bleached cusses, making it up entirely nv the Pogrom, Gavitt and Punt niggers, ez these namea s they sed,hed weight in the county! Who will deliver us from these two bodies nv death. PETROLEUM V. NASRY, P. M., (Wish Is Postmaster.)

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. 1H WOMAN'S CLUB IN NEW TURK. At the second regular meeting of the" Woman's Club," which took place yesterday at Delmonl co's, the following inaugural remarks wore made by the President, Miss Alice, Cary, who presided in person for the first time: Ladies: As it will not be expected of me to 'make speeches very often. hereafter, I think I may presume on your indulgence if I take advan tage of this one opportunity. Permit me, then, in the first place, to thank you for the honor you have done me in assigning me the President's chair. Why I should have been chosen, when there are so many among you greatly more com petent to fill the position, I am at a loss to under stand; unless, indeed, it be owing to the fact that I am to most of you a stranger, andyour imagi nations have clothed me with qualifies not my due. This you would soon discover for your selves; I mention it only to bespeak your for bearance, though in this regard I ventured almost to anticipate your lenity, inasmuch as you all know how untrained to business habits, how ignorant of rules of order, and how unused to executive management most women are. If I take my seat, therefore, without confidence, it is not without the hope of attaining, through your generous kindness and encouragement, to better things. "A woman's club ! Who ever beard of the like ! What do women want of a club? Have you any alms or. objects ?" These are questions which have been propounded to me day after day since this project was set afoot; by gentlemen, of course. And I have answered, that, in our humble way, we were striving to imitate their example. You have your exclusive clubs, I have said, and why should not we have ours? What is so promotive of your interests cannot be detrimental to us; and that vox find these reunions helpful to yourselves, and bene ficial to society,.we cannot doubt. You gentlemen profess to be our representa tives-- to represent us better than we could pos sibly represent ourselves—therefore, we argue, it cannot be that you are attracted by grand rooms, fine furniture, luxurious dinners and suppers,ex pensive wines and cigars, the bandying of poor jests, or the excitement of the gaming table. Such dishonoring suspicions as these arc not to be entertained for a moment. ' Of our own knowledge, I have said, we are not able to determine what special agencies you em ploy for your advantage and ours in your de liberative assemblies, for it has not been thought best for our interests that se should even sit at dour tables, let alone share your .councils; and oubtless ' therefore, In our blindness and igno rance we have made some pitiful mistakes. In the first place, we have "tipped the tea-pot." This is a hard saying—the head and front of the charges brought against us, and we cannot but acknowledge its justice and its force. We are, In fact, weighed down with shame and humilia tion, and impelled, while we are about it, to make full and free confession of all our wild and guilty phantasies. We have then, to begin at the beginning,proposed the inculcation of deeper and broader ideas among women—proposed to teach them to think for themselves, and get their opin ions at first hand, not so much because it is their right as because it is their duty. We have also proposed to open out new avenues of employment to women—to make them less dependent and less burdensome —to lift them out of unwomanly self-distrust and disqualifying diffidence into womanly self-respect and self-knowledge. To teach them to make all work honorable, by each doing the share that falls to her, or that she may work out to herself agreeably to her own special aptitude, cheerfully and faithfully—not going down to it but bringing it up to her. We have proposed to enter our protest against all idle gossip, against all demor alizing and wicked waste of time; also, against the follies and the tyrannies of fashion, against all external impositions and disabilities; in short, against each and everything that opposes the full development and use of the faculties conferred upon us by our Creator. We have proposed tqb lessen the antagonisms existing at present between men and women by the use of every rightful means in our power; by standing upon our divine warranty and saying and doing what we are able to say and do, with out asking leave and without suffering hinder- • ance. Not for the exclusive good of our own sex, for we bold that there is no exclusive, and no separate good—what injures my brother in jures me, and what injures me, injurei him, if he could but be made to know it; it injures him whether or not he, is made to know it. Such, I have said, are some of our objects and aims. We do not pretend as yet, to have carefully digested plans and clearly de fined courses. We are as children feeliti n r , our way m the dark, for it must be remembered that it is not yet half a century since the free schools, even in the most enlightened portions of our country, were first opened to girls. How then, should you expect of us the fulness of wisdom which you for whole centuries have been gath ering from schools, colleges, and the exclusive knowledge and management of affairs. We admit our short-comings, but we do feel, gentlemen, that in spite of them an honest, earn est and unostentatious effort toward broader cul ture and nobler life, is entitled to a heartier and more, sympathetic recognition than we have as yet received from you anywhere; even our representatives here at - home, the leaders of the New York press, have failed in that magna nimity which we have been accustomed to attri bute to them. I If we could have foreseen the sneers and sikr-- casms with which we have been met, they' - of themselves would have constituted all-sufficient reasons for the establishment of this woman's club ; as it is, they have established a strong im pulse towards' its continuance and final per petuity. But, hales, these sneers and sarcasms are, after all, but so many acknowledgments of our power, and should and will stimulate us to braver assertion, to more persistent effort toward thorough and harmonious organization; and con cert and harmony aro all that we need to make this enterprise, ultimately, a great power for good. Indeed, with such women as have already enrolled their names on our list, I, for my part, cannot believe failure possible. Some of us cannot hope to see great results, for our feet are already on the down-hill side of life, the shadows aro lengthening behind us and ga thering•before us, and ere long they will meet and close, and the- pacet4 that have known us know us no more. But if, when our poor work is done, any of those who come after us shall and in it some hint of usefulness toward nobler lives, and better and more enduring work, we, for our selves; rest content. Miss Cary's remarks were warmly applauded by the ladies of the club, of whom there were in all about forty present. A lunch was partaken of, after which, certain business was transacted which we are requested not to publish. Hereaf ter, ladies wishing to join the club must be pro posed and balloted for as in men's clubs. Many of the ladies present were young and distin guished, and some of the toilets were superb. A Sensation In Pittsburgh—Discovery of a !Missing Dian. [From the Pitt burgh Gazette of May 4th.] The sudden and mysterious disappearance of Mr. Anthony Freyvoegle, a well-known mer chant of this city, some three months since, has at last been partially explained by the finding of his body floating in the Ohio river. The manner and cause of his death, however, still is, and, in all probability, Will forever remain a mystery. The circumstances connected with. his disap pearance have been eo extensively commented upon by,the public press that our reader are all doubtless familiar with them, and we will not, therefOre, enter Leto details regarding it. On Tuesday, January 21st, at about eight o'clock In the evening, he left some' acquaintan ces on paitOrld alley and started for home. Not the el teat peculiarity in his demeanor or in 'the elrc lencee attending him was noticed. After that-:. until Friday evening last, noth ing was ason'or hesid of him. Every effort was Plias Alice te►r Hakes a Speech [From the N. Y. World of to-day. run WOMAN'S CLUB. made to solve the mystery; rewards were offered, detectives endeavored to find traces of him; his friends and family left no means untried to find I the lost ono, but their untiring efforts were of no avail, and no explanation whatever could be given,of the affair. About four o'clock on Friday afternoon Jacob and John Lashell and John Hughes, while en gaged in pumping' out a fiat-boat at Lashell's Landing, opposite Sewickley, discovered the dead body of a man floating in the river near by, which they at once secured. and notified Coroner Clawson by telegraph, stating in the despatch that the body was believed to be that of Anthony Freyvoegle. Saturday morn ing the body was removed from the water and examined, when unmistakable evi dence of its being that of Mr. Freyvoegle was found. The deceased was dressed in vest, pants, shirt and boots, the coat and hat being gone. The clothing was readily identified and one of the boots bore the patch spoken of in the first ac count of his disappearance. In the pockets of the pants and vest were found Dopers which rendered the identification complete. All bore the name of "Anthony Freyvoegle." Large }ire in Booton--$75.000 Loss. (From the Boehm Herald of the 4th Ind.) Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the premises of the Boston Milling and Manufacturing Company, located on Eagle street, East Boston. These works cover a considerable surface of ground, and are used in grinding and preparing ,bones for manuring purposes. The works com prised several two-story wooden buildings, and they were all nestled so closely together that the fire leaped from one to the other with ease and rapidity, and a second alarm called over a por tion of the fire department from tie city proper; but in spite of the labors of the firemen the Barnes raged for nearly two hours, and the work of de struction was very - nearly complete. In the buildings was a large amount of valua-_ ble, machinery, which was heated afid broken and rendered comparatively useless. There was also a considerable quantity of manufactured stock on band which was ruined by fire and water. The total loss Is estimated at $75,000,and there was an insurance, we understand, of up wards of $lO.OOO on the property. A branch of the same company's works,in the same neighbor hood, was badly damaged by fire a few months ago. The origin of the fir. last night is unknown. MUSICAL. CAnt. WOLFSOHN'S BEETHOVEN MATINEES.—On Friday next the tenth and last of this series, will be given. That concerts of such a high order of merit, appealing, of course, to a small fraction of lie great public for appreciation and support, should be sustained during the past season of com mercial depression and stagnation, is an evidence that the concert giver and his sub,;^..eist Of In pretadon possess claims of no ordinary charac ter. Many persons, even some of musical culti vation- and refined rtaste, find three Beethoven Sonatas at one sitting a rather heavy meal of high-art pabulum for comfortable digestion, and it is only when well rendered by agile fingers and matured intelligence - that the body and mind can find refreshment withottt fatigue. There is a world of thought in these works of Beethoven—mme or less clear to the easy-going amateur who only seeks a merely sensuous enjoy ment: but those whose aspirations are of a higher character, love to truce out the mental working of the composer, as he wanders through fields and forests, across mountains and valleys, giving lull play to his iniugination In the poesy and fantasy which so characterized his country and day. To such an attempted analysis of the Sonata, opus lot, in B lint, may not prove uninteresting even if imperfect from its necessarily confined limits. This Sonata was dedicated by Beetho ven to his friend and patron, the Archduke Ro clolph, of Austria, Cardinal and Prince-Bishop of Olmutz. It was composed in 1818 and originally published by Artoria and Company, who, in their advertisement in the Wiener Zeitung, oeSeptem ber 15, 1819, speak of it in glowing terms of praise, and prefer it to all other of his creations not alone in reference to its rich and abundant fancy, but also for its artistic perfection and sus tained style. This Sonata is not the most beautiful; it is simply among Sonatas what the Symphony with chorus is among Symphonies. It is of equal strength; it is overwhelming , sublime, and des perate in its difficulties. It is hard to measure such a work by the prescribed limits of the Son ata form. It is an ode of Pindar; a hymn of Tyrteus, found again on the lyre of Beethoven. Ills cotemporaries, Viennese and others, did not signal this mighty ship which bore Caesar and his misfortune; its great sails were flying a long dis tance beyond the horizon of their intelligence. A thorough analysis of the Allegro might well form the subject for a book of itself, so immense a conception is it, so rich in a thousand details of which the execution transcends the means of ac tion of the piano. It might be supposed to be long to a Heroic Symphony for the piano. The second part of the _4 Ilegro presents a IllyTtO tiro which has the effect of a prayer, an address, or harangue before engaging in the Battle of the Giants which is in question here. This impulsive and exciting episode breathes somewhat the Ruth and heroism of K irner's Prayer Before Battle. This Allegro, the most astonishing, perhaps, of all the Allegros among the Sonatas, could not have been under stood if the way for it had not been prepared by the other Sonatas which have preceded it, the most considerable of which are so many terraces which this colossus overlooks. The Scher:o is quite a picture of fancy—it is a poem by itself, a sonata. The diversity of styles, and the mechanical resources which it demands make it a study for pianists of the first rank. The Adagio, a grand maw with variations yet grander. The style for variation could go no further. There is a curious fact connected with this movement. Ferdinand Ries had been charged by Beethoven to sell in London the manuscript of the sonata. When there ho received a letter from the composer begging him to add two notes to the adagio, la and do sharp. Ries was greatly surprised that he should have to add two notes to a composition of this stamp, entirely finished since more than six months, and which seemed to preclude the possibility of the least change. The effect was however marvellout. The trio notes, la and do sharp, now form the first meas ure of the adagio, and are, so to speak, two steps leading to the door of the sepulchre. Beethoven had aimed so high in the first allegro that no other resource of style remained for the finale but the fugue. "Beethoven," says ono of his most ardent admirers, "was not the man for fu gue, and he was never less at home than in this nightntare—rudis indigestague moles!" Mr. Wolfsohn, in this last of his concerts, will he assisted by Mr. Theo. Haboltuan, the well. known German tenor, and our talented towns man, Mr. Wm. Stoll, Jr., a virtuoso on the violin, of great fulfilment, but of larger promise. The variety of the programme will make this one of the most pleasant entertainments of the series, which will thus close with brilliant eclat. RICIIINGS OPERA. TROUPE.—Linda di Cha mounix was produced at the Academy of Music last night to a moderately largo audience. This evening, in accordance with general request, Wallace's charming opera, Maritana, will beer formed and and for the last time. The cast will in clude lilies Illebitiga_, Mrs. 'Seguin, and Messrs Campbell, Castle, reakea and Arnold. The house is always well filled when this opera is announced, and there is, even reason to believe the audience will be unusually large to-night. To morrow evening Mr. Wm. Cattle, the popular tenor of the company, will have a benefit, when The Bohemian Girl will be presented in splendid style. It Is hardly necessary to urge Mr. Castle's claims upon the musical public. He ranks rem high as an artist and is deservedly a favorite with the public. A new+ prima tionna,Mlss Edith Abell, will make her first appearance in this perform ance. E Z..MI THERSTON.
