THE sncrTN OPERA*
Tbc smutty opera has had its day. The
Etching Bulletin, not claiming to monopo
lise all the virtue and good ta9te of the Phila
delphia press, has, nevertheless, been com
pelled to bear its testimony alone against the
demoralizing indecencies of the style of
French operas which has been forced upon
the community daring the last two years.
It haß seemed, at times, an almost hopeless
task to stem the tide of growing familiarity
with the vulgarity and immodesty which was
first tolerated, then made fashionable in New
York, and then transplanted to this city to
contaminate the minds and hearts of the
youth ©f this community. But the principle
asserted in the opposition to the introduction
of thiß whole range of indecent drama
upon the respectable American stage
is one that was sure to vindicate itself,sooner
or later, and so it has come to pass that one
respectable journal after smother has come to
cat Bupport, until there is scarcely one
of the dally or Sunday papers that has not
come out in bold and telling denunciation of
what everybody now begins to see is an evil
and a nuisance not to he tolerated in decent
society. The one or two papers that under
took the special championship of French ob
scenity and Bmut already show that they feel
the influence of the turning tide, and when
opera bovffe comes to Pniladelphia again it
will either come with such decent modifica
tions as will secure a paying patronage, or it
will fißd the whole press occupying the posi
tion which the Evening Bulletin has hith
erto had the honor of maintaining alone.
The smutty opera-baa_had its day. As
Goldsmith cleverly remarks, “wit employed
in dressing up obscenity, is like the
art .USed in painting a corpse; it may be
thus rendered tolerab e, to one sense, but
fails not quickly to offend some other.’
Lively music, humorous situations, gracefal
attitudes and figures have painted the corpse
of French immorality, and cheated a decent
mihded public for awhile into patronizing
performances, such as have lately been made
common to Philadelphia audiences. Rsspeot
able gentlemen have taken their wives and
daughters night after night to witness scenes
and' sentiments and gestures and attitudes
upon the stage, until they have for
gotten to blush at what would have
outraged every standard of morals and every
Instinct of personal modesty, two years ago.
Bui the “corpse” has forced the recognition
of its own corruption upon the dullest senses
of the people, and the revolt is seen in the
united protest of the press, which speakß the
true eentiment of the people.
Again and again have the "honest critics of
the stage, both in America and in England,
joined iorces in driving the smutty opera and
drama from the stage. One hundred and
fifty years ago, the Spectator did the same
good Woife in reforming the indecencies of
the stage, in which the respectable press of
Philadelphia is now enlisted. Steele,
with his keen satire,writes: “If the audience
would but consider the difficulty of keeping
np a sprightly dialogue for five acta together,
they would allow a writer, when he wants
wit, and cannot please any otherwise, to help
it out with a little smuttiness.” And again,
In the same paper, he says: “If men of wit,
instead of this pitiful way of giving delight,
would turn their thoughts upon raising it
from such good natural impulses as are in the
audlfence, but are choked up by vice and lux
ury, they would not only please, but befriend
ns at the same time. Ail men of taste would
call a man of wit, who should turn his ambi
tion this way, a friend and benefactor to his
country; but I am at a loss what name they
would give him, who makes use of his capa
city for contrary purposes.”
Smutty opera will disappear from the re
spectable American stage the moment it
ceases to pay; and it will cease to pay as
soon as it ceases to be fashionable; and it
will ceasetto be fashionable as eoon as a few
fashionable family circles begin to reap the
bitter 1 harvest which they are now sowing for
themselves. The native modesty of young
girls or of young mea cannot be tampered
with, blunted, perverted with impunity; and
so it will come to pass, aod that at no distant
day, that such opera bouffe as has degraded
the standard of social morals, and offended
the good taste and refined feelings of the best
people of this and other communities, will be
hissed from the stage wbich it now pollutes
and disgraces.
However much opposition there iuay be in
England to liberal measures towards Ireland,
the Queen and royal family cannot be in*
oluded in it. Her Majesty has entered with
apparent earnestness into Mr. Gladstone's
project for the Disestablishment of the Irish
Proteßtant Church. Bhe has also, by way of
showing her interest in Ireland and her con
fidence in the people, just sent her third son,
Prince Arthur, to make a tour through the
island. The fact was not considered im
portant enough to be commuoisated by the
cable. Bnt the London papers announce
that on the Gth instant, the Prince, attended
by Major Elphinstone and suite, left Holy
head and arrived in Dublin, where he
had a very hearty welcome. A great
many fetes in honor of the visit
had been organised. Prince Arthur
is said to be a fins young man. He will be
ninetetffi on the Ist of May. If English roy
alty vfere to show itself more frequently in
Ireland*'the effect would undoubtedly be
good. .The present visit and the votiug in
the HCjOJße.of Commons on the Church bill,
are sure :to conciliate many malcontents. If
England bftd been as liberally disposed
towards Ireland twenty years ago, as she ;
seems to be now, Fedlantem would never
have been heard of. But Fenianism,or some
thing like it, seems to have been required to
bring about liberal treatment, and-ti\e enfran
chisement of the Irish by legitimate peacefal
measures : may be Set down as a Feniaa
victory that is even more honorable than
one that might have been won in a civil war.
From various parte of the country we have
rumors of the fitting out of expeditions to
Cuba in aid of the rebellion. It is very pos
sible that most of these stories, which ore
given in detail, are intended os blinds to dis
tract attention from the porta in woich assis
tance for Cuba really is being organized.
That such enterprises have been euccessftil
and are now preparing may be regarded as
entirely certain, and it is haTdly worth while
to attempt to disguise the fact that everybody
is glad of it. The duty of the government is
of course plain; and the administration in
tends, we seriously believe, to enforce the
neutrality laws to the best of its ability. But
it iB quite possible that United States officials
at different ports close their eyes upon many
occurrences which would excite them to
speedy action if their sympathies lay in an
other direction. We are sorry that the ad
ministration cannot fulfil the popular wish by
recognizing the belligerent rights of the rebels.
The present condition of the Alabama claims
controversy with England is given as the ex
cuse, and with considerable force; for our
recognition of Cuba would, in some measure,
weaken our position upon this question. The
wo cases are by no means entirely parallel,
but they are sufficiently like for England to
claim recognition of Cuba by us as a justifi
cation of her course towards the Southern
rebels.
If we cannot go to this extreme there are
at least two things that we can do in behalf
of the heroic islanders. We can deny to the
Spaniards the right-to procure munitions of
war here by the quantity, os they have done,
and we can eater our protest in the name of
humanity and civilization against the shock
ing barbarities practised by the Spanish troops
in Cuba. These have been so enormous, so
cruel and wicked and unnatural,as to demand
instant intervention on the part of the Ame
rican people. We have a right to do this,
and it is our duty. If the Spanish nation
cannot conquer this unarmed people without
recourse to barbarity—without butchering
men, women and children, in cold blood, it
ought to lose the island. It may be ques
tioned, Indeed, whether the Spaniards have
not,by these acts, forfeited their right to Cuba,
justified the rebellion, and demonstrated their
unfitness to rule any people.
Now that the contracts for cleaning the
streets have been awarded by the Board of
Health, we suggest that an inspector shall be
appointed to overlook the work and see that
it is properly done. Among the successful
bidders are persons who have been interested
in street-cleaning contracts in former-years,
and if their failures in the past are to be ac
cepted as an augury of their incapacity in the
future, the amount of scavenger work per
formed will be unpleasantly small. It will
lit) piofUulile to the city to have their opera
tions superintended by a trustworthy man.
Let the Board ol Health Belect some honest,
active and reliable person, known to the
members of the Board, and not a politician;
authorize him to make frequent inspections
of the various districts, and require him to
report every dereliction of duty on the part
of the contractors. He should have a fair
salary, because a good man cannot be pro
cured for a trifling sum, and because there
will be less temptation to wink at negligence
for the sake of a consideration. If such an
appointment is made, the contractors can be
spurred up to their work and we shall have a
clean city. If it is not, possibly we may be
as badly off as before, however sincerely the
members of the Board may desire a better
result
In the Senate yesterday, Senator Rosa
attempted to explain away the reported diffi
culty between him and the President. In the
course of his remarks he charged President
Grant with having removed certain good
Republicans from office in Kansas, simply
because they were the friends ol Ross; and
he declared that his confidence in the Presi
dent was shaken. The opinion of Ross can
not possibly be of consequence to President
Grant, nnder any circumstances; bnt his de
nunciation is deprived of any value in this
instance by the fact stated by Senator Pomeroy
that some of Ross’s “good Republicans” were
solid old Democrats while Andy Johnson was
in power, and that their virtue was assumed
suddenly after the election of Grant We
advise Rosa to subside. He may be a
wise man and a bold man, but if be under
takes to place himself in opposition to Grant
and the Republicm party, with the hope of
winning honor in the party, he will ascer
tain that he has undertaken an impossible
task.
It is reported that the French Atlantic
Cable Company have determined to land the
American end of their cable at Gape May.
It is possible that a better place could not
have been selected upon our coast. It is
within ready distance of the great seaport
(owns, a circumstance which may be a par
tial guarantee of liberal patronage, and it can
easily be reached by repairing parties in case
of accident. We do not perceive, however,
that aDy special advantages will accrue to
thiß city from its close vieinity to the termi
nus. Hew York, Baltimore and other cities
are not more distant by telegraph than we are,
and they will reap the benefits of this enter
prise quite as freely. When electricity formß
the copnection it is comparatively an indif
ferent matter where the cable is landed from
Maine or Florida. The only essential is that
it shall end upon American soil, so that a
foreign power Bhall not control our commu
nication with Europe in time of war.

And said, “Look here, nay friend, look here,

Ibo Bluing of ttie SL Lawrence.
[From tho Montreal Wltnwa, April IP.I
Tho long apprehended Hood Is upon os at last.
Since Saturday night tho river has risen bo high
as entirely to cover Commissioners street, flood
ing the warehouse basements thereon, also the
cellars of the Royal Insurance building. In St.
Paul street, near McQlll, the water is about a
foot deep, at the time wo write; but, as ts msual
on these occasions, It continues to flactuate.
The first intimation given of the rise was on
Saturday night about 12 o'clock, when a great
commotion was observed among the ice opposite
the city. This was caused by large quantities of
lee having broken loose from above tho bridge—
where there was a clear space of considerable
extent—and floated down against the masses
which blocked up the channel opposite the city.
Tbo waters continued to swell gradually during
yesterday till 5 o’clock, when there was a tem
porary subsidence of a few inches. Daring
last night it again began to rise, and
haß continued to do so at the rate of four
or five inches an hour. Yesterday tho
Seople inhabiting tho low-lying portions of
rifllntown were busily engaged In clearing their
cellars and lower floors of goods, which they re
a moved to tho second 11 at. At 9 o’clock this
morning the only portions of Qrifflntown
covered with water were those between lower
St. Joseph street and the railroad; also between
Bt. Joseph and Bonavonture streets, and like
wise some portions of Wellington and William
streets. In King street, and we believe also in
somo other streets, the pressure of the flood
in the sewers has caused them to burst. Tho
final rising of the river has come somewhat sud
denly at last, and the water is now at about one
foot'lowcr than the height to which it attained in
1865, and some two feet lowor than in 1861. The
surlace of the river presents a wild and ragged
aspect from the “shoves,” which have thrown it
up in different directions, and we await with
anxiety to see if it shall be piled yet higher,or by
getting vent below, tho ice Held move off, and in
a tew days leave tho navigation open.

[From the New York Herald of to-dayJ
Aran. 2u.—The offerings of money were much more
abtiiidant to-day and a good proportion of the loans on
rail were made at six per cent., especially where the col
laterals were government secorltiea Borrowers w«re in
no baste tojnske their engagements autil late fh the dar,
wbßh fact developed amore active Inquiry about half
past two o'clock; but the demand was fully sa isfied at
seven per cem„ and unemployed balances were again
freely ofTeriog at three o'clock. Discounts were easier,
and prime double nsmo acceptances sold at nine per
cent. Tl e quotable rate for coumerdal paper ienfae to
twelve >er cent. The banks are discounting more freely
for tbeir regular customers and report a steady increase
In ibe receipts of currency f -om the co ’ntry.
While the money market is thus drifting to the ease and
afcucdsnce of the spring and snmmer months there i« a
a ttrous speculative feeling in tbe gold market, based
upon the large extent of our foreign imports and the gov
ernmental polley of boarding sold. To-day the premium
n ee subjected to the continued disturbance produced by
tbe ar prehension of complications aririog out of the Cuban
and Ala* ama claims questions. As toe morning pro
greteed the speech ot Senator ChtndLr began to be
treated as fareit ol and the market yielded, but the heavy
co*i onu payments of tbe day. amoantlog to nearly h «lf a
mniton of dollare. created new approbensfon. especially
a* thu real scarcity of cold is very manifest. the batiks
boldicg less than eight n illior.s, and the premiam took
suotbrr upward turn at tho close. Tne European steamer
brought $lOO COu iu specie.
Losns f f caeb gold early in the fo enoen were made at
flat and 2 rer cent- for borrowing, with an exception at S

wioped conrlderable activity ia the l*»a*i m.trVet, and as

followirg is the report of the Gold Exchange Bank:
Gold cleared $97,666,000

Foreign exrharge was more active under a speculative
demand for bills, which, it is thought, will soon bo in
urgent request for payment of the coupons no
in every mail from Europe Tbe buying was doubtless
stimulated by the lower quotations for bonds in London,
although tbe foreign bankers are still shipping our secu
rities. The cnpt-ly if commercial bill* on the market is
very limited. Quotations today were made uoou a bash
of 109 for khort sight prime bankero’ sterling, tuS?» for the
same grade of eixty day bills and lC7 7 « for the best com

cosalp liom Washington—Sumner’s
Speech.
Washington telegrams to the Boston Journal
give the following:
‘ President Grant said on Monday to a personal
friend that he had read the able speech of Mr.
Bumneren the depredations committed by Anglo
rebel armed ships, three times, and that he now
saw the question in its true light. Instead of re
garding it as a mere bill of damages for the dep
redations committed by the Alabama and other
piratical vessels, some of the President’s
Cabinet are understood to regard Mr. Snmner’s
speech os a declaration that there can be no far
ther negotiations until Great Britain admits that
she acted badly; and consequently they express
the wish that the speech had been made, or
rather that it had not been published. Whether
this be true or not, it is evident that Mr. Sum
ner's original and forcible statements of what con
stitute ocean belligerency are indorsed almost
unanimously by the American people.
•‘A Mrs. Smith, from Ohio, was at the White
House on Monday, having in her possession the
sword carried by the Confederate General John
C. Breckinridge, prior to the capture of Selma,
Ala. The sword is encased in a handsome steel
scabbard, with gold bands, and bears on the side
a gold plate, with this inscription: ‘From Fin
ley’s and Bates’s brigades to General J. C. Breck
inridge, as a mark of esteem and admiration for
their much loved commander.’ The weapon was
captured by the eon of the lady having it in pos
session, a member of the Fourth Ohio Cavalry,
which made a raid on Selma and captured the
Bword in the bouse whore Breckinridge was
stopping. Breckinridge escaped from the back
door, leaving his sword upon the tablo."

and materials fnmlshed in the construction of a car
riage factory. Tbo defence denied that the plaintiff
furnlsked the money and material for the building.
On trial.
Qd.ikteb SyssioKfl—Judge Brewster.—This morn
ngi when the Grand Jury came into Court, Judge
Brewster addressed them and said that he had re
ceived a communication from the authorises In regard
to the present condition of the County Prison. Com
plaint was mads that the overcrowded condition of
some portions of the prison was due to commitments
for vagrancy, idle and disorderly conduct, tntoxica
lion and for misdemeanors, where the Bpeciflo offence
was not named in the commitment. In some cases
the parties are sent 10 prison for tne non-payment of
the ‘‘drunken fine,” and are retained longer than the
twenty-four hours mentioned in the law. These com
mitments imposed a very heavy harden npon thp
county in the increased expense of the institution for
the maintenance of what may bo called the surplus
population. It Is believed that in many cases these
uommltments are for the purpose of securing the
lungistreles’ and constables’ costs. The Judge
suggested that the Grand Jury visit the prison
and examine the records, and report to Court the
nnmher of caseß committed under'the circumstances
complained of. The Judge also suggested that the In
spectors were acting improperly In rcceiviug any pris
oner npon a commiimont which docs not indicate the
offence.
The jury then retired. „
Hugh Green, whojsq escape front the’ First District
siatlon-hoDse (jattsod an lnqulrv in regard to the action
of tbo tsmkoy, was pat an trial this murning, on one
of the charges preferred against him. It wUI be re
membered that he was re-arrcsted two days ago, and
this morning was pnt on trial, charged with assault
and battery upon a policeman. The case went to the
jury without any evidence by the defence, the only ex
cuse being that the officer was not In uniform at the
time of tbo assault. Verdict, guilty.
