The Governor has. deelared the principle of the State interfering: With local legislation babe a bad one; yet, if what a prominent Philadelphia Senator sepia be true, his Excellency did not, a few • weeks ago, look at the affeliin that light. Ho then! called en this Senator, and, after stating that he•had not been treated fairly by the Philadel phia, delegation (who, it pow appears, never ' consulted him, with reference to the measure), pleaded that he might have , the privilege of naming two • of . the Commission ers. ,This was • denied him, 'and: it is now said that he repaired to the. ExecU tive chamber, and then and there dictated the major portion of his message. The first im; pulse of the more Indiscreet of the Republcans, after hearing the documeht read yesterday,Waa to asSert that the Governor lied been influenced in the Course he took by the corruption f und,- which was known to have been raised in Phil adelphia by confiscating the January warrants; 'of the police force, amounting in the aggre gate to over 860,00 0. • This the Demochey in a quiet way encouraged, and, for • a time,,this little scheme succeeded. THE ' CtiAlicat, OF CORRUPTION - WITHDRAWN.. But now that calmness rules, the members have been , able 'to look at the matter in an other light, and those who were rash enough to make the bold assertion of corruption against the Executive, have consented .to' Withdraw the charge. ' .It is 'now belieVed tat, this was a ruse on the part of the Democratic' members who were in charge of the fund to. close the eyes of the public and the police men, and by which .they would be enabled to pocket the entire sum of money which wasto be devoted to the killing of the bill. DISAFFECTION IN THE DEMOCRATIC RANKS. It is said, and by some of the lesser lights in the Democratic ranks,that there was •actually no desire on the part of the chief manipnla tom to stifle the bill in either House, but that it was to be allowed to go to the Governor for the-express purpose of making the -victims in Philadelphia seethe necessity- of increasing the fund; and certain it is, that since it was a foregone conclusion `that the bill must pass the House these *60,000 weie added. TILE DEMOCRATS POCKET THE CORRUPTION - , FUND. Your correspondent is pretty well satisfied that a higher power than this means of cor-, ruption induced the Governorto veto the a nd,from what has transpired to•clay,that sev eral of the men who were sent here by the Democracy of Philadelphia have pocketed the entire proceeds. All' those who are near the Governor, in official positions. believe this to be the true state - of the case, and a disaf fected individual has boldly proclaimed it on the streets of Harrisburg. Such betrayal of trust should be exposed, and it really becomes the duty of the policemen of Philadelphia to, assist the Legislative Investigating Committee in unearthing the matter. THE sCHOEPPE can.. ; The.veto of the bill which empowered the Supreme Court to review the testimony in the ease' of. Dr. Paul Sehoeppe; who his been-con victed of poisoning Miss Steinnecke,has taken no one here by surprise, as it was definitely known that the Governor would not girellis approval before the measure was introduced. He has frequently asserted that this doomed Man has had the full benefit of the law, and that he has been adjudged guilty, and that nothing remains for him to do but to see the law executed. Under the preju dice that • prevails against SchuePPe here, it is a surprise that he has survived so long.' It is well known that the Attorney- General did not interfere until the last moment, and that at that time the opiniou of a majority of the Supreine Court had been - obtained upon the. question of allowing the &Immo. hence, the difficulty which occurred on Monday last, prior to proceeding . with the argument. -It is hoped by the enemies of Dr. Schoeppe that the Court 'will refuse to grant his prayer, and that then the Governor will, as be stated in a recent inter. view, have nothing else to do than to re-issue the death warrant. While there is a strong . undercurrent of influence setting against the interest of Dr. Schoeppe, it should be added that nothing has yet been developed to shake the confidence of his friends in the righteoesness of his cause or in i their belief that he cannot be executed, n the_ presence of the unanswerable arguments Which have been urged in his behalf. Your correspondent may add that the despatch, dated from . Harrisburg, on 'Thursday last, to the Erening Telegrapl4, in reference to Dr. Schoeppe, clid not emanate, so far as he can ascertain, from any of the 'usual newspaper sources, and has all the appearance of having been prepared for the purpose of prejudicing some important sentiment :n Philadelphia. THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION A FIZZLE. There seems to be no question as to the final diSposition of the investigation which is now being held with reference to the management of the State Treasury for ten years past. • Several unsuccessful attempts were made during the week to continue the testimony. A majority of the Committee have decided to call • the State Treasurers in the inverse order, and not to call General Irwin, who is next in order, until Mr. Mackey is done with. As this gentleman has had a herculeae task of making a r lot of tabular statements showing the ,monthly condition of the Treasury, since his induction placed upon' him by the Committee, h 4 has been una ble to appear this week,bnt has stated that he will be ready, ,en Tuesday . next. The minor -ity of the Committee, Messrs. White and Brooke, have endeavored to have the interim occupied by the other State Treasurers being 'placed upon the stand, bfit they have failed. There is no doubt at all that Messrs. Irwin,Remble,McGratli and Moore will posi tively :refuse to. answer all' questions with reference to the dispositien of the funds during their regime, and this will virtually put a stop to all proceedings. The public would . be greatly' benefited by Mr. Mackey being forced to state' what constituted the Treasury when he took posaession, but as many, of 'our shining , rolitical . lights, both Democratic and 'Republican, would be put in a decidedly unenviable - posltion, before their constituency,, it is reasonable to suppose that this' :AS it is justly termed, "smelling" coin 'mitiee will not press;.any_ such questioliS. :Mark the word—this . affair be white washed:" anti.the miblic left iri 'dark - peas 6.4 to the operations of those who have handled,the money bags: • ; • - 0 yin f litta,. asa i k:ssmo eatiadra elan OPENiNC STEEETs.

In the particular case to w hich allur.lon was made; in your last liar risbufg correi , pondeuee, be says, that he be- Jitves the jury •to have awarded at least $B,OOO damages too much,and he feels satisfied that the Court will set aside the verdict. TII/9 MINING BILL. , The bill with reference the protection of operators in - the coal mines throughout the State is still in the hands of the Senate Com mittee, who have had many meetings on the subject. The owners and the miners have been'ably repriisented :by counsel, and there has been so much disparity as to their views that the committee has been Unable to agree upon a report. The'matter has. been referred temporarily to the opposing counsel for action; but they, like the committee, have as yet not been ale to come to any mutual, understand ing. ' PAUL. The English opera season began most auspiciously last might with an exceptionably fine performance at a noble opera, and an immense audience composed of very enthu siastic people. Ten or twelve years have passed mace The Marriage of Figaro" was pro duced in this city, and the'reason of thispro longed delay is to be found in the fact that very few of • the companies which have ap ,peared in the Academy during that time have possessed force enough and ability enough to do it justice. For its proper presentation the opera requires an unusual number ofood voices; two soprani of large compass and flexi: bilitv, one contralto, one baritone, one tenor, two bassos and some good voices in the sub ordinate parts. These requirements are ful filled in a most satisfactory manner by the.. Parepa-Rosa company, and to it belongs the honor of a performance which was not only worthy of the high character of the. music, but will rank the best given in this city for many years past. The opera deserves the best efforts of the best artists. The substructure of comedy upon which the music is built, demands consider able histrionic skill for its just interpretation. It is a drama of intrigue; ingenious, amusing, and perplexed.' The situations are very strik ing, and they are so nicely contrived that the successive scenes form &series of most agree able surprises, of which the lively rascal " Figaro, the amorous page, the rakish " Count," the quick-witted Susannah," and the distressed " Countess" are, the victims as well as the authors. The music of this opera is of the most exquisite description. In some particulars the work may may fairly claim the • foremost rank among operatic 'Compositions. It contains three or tour airs which are rec ognized as among the best ever written by anybody for the stage; the Fong "Thought cannot reach," or "Vox the supete ;" the aria " Hope had never more brightly fluttered," or "Dove sons ;" and the 80:1 4 3' " Divinest moments" or "Vieni non tardar." Besides these, the opera is rich in concerted music, which is its own evidence of the transcendent genies of its author. The letter duet in the third act, the duet between the "Count" and " Susanna" in the beginning of the same act, the eicquisite trio in the second act between the " Count," the " Countess " and "Susanna," and the finale of the third act, are among the brightest flowers in the bouquet. Bpt the most glorious of all the music is the finale of the secondact. It begins with a tenderly beautiful duet be tween the " Count" and his wife; a third voice is added, them a fourth, audit proceeds through the changes of trio, quartette, quintette, until seven voices join in, the delicious harmony, carrying as many themes, differing in senti ment, and expressing diverse and opposite sentiments, from the comedy a "Fi g aro" to the anguish of - the forlorn wife, but all woven together into a matchless fabric of ha.rmony, decked with finely-contrasted colas, and fill ing the senses with rapture. This is the crown ing triumph of the master-hand that yenned the work. It is sufficient of itself to give last ing fame to the' composer and his work. The instrumentation is a worthy accompaniment of the vocal score. It is full of line effects, and of most elegant and elaborate writing. Under the able direction of Mr. Rosa, the orchestra last night acquitted itself of a difficult task in a very creditable manner. To the vocal performance • we must accord even warmer praise. Madame Rosa proved 1)y her personation of "Susanna" that she po sesses very conSiderable comic power. She played • with spirit, intelligence and real hcatty good humor, and she sang the music superbly. If we might make any . complaint, it. would be that she did not infuse enougifpa.sz sion into the love song,: " Divinest monienM," in the Last act: Her execution was absolutely faithless, but her manner was hardly so intense and earnest as to express fully the ferrid sen timent of the music and the words. Miss Ilersee's performance was . delightful. She played with much more ease and grace than upon her last appearance here, and her charm ing voice seemed to have gained in sweetnev anti ilexibility..The beautiful song with which, the second act opens was given with tender est feeling, and it did not receive halt•aS much applause as it deserved, both from its intrinsic - 'beauty; - and from the manner in which it was sung. The aria "Hope had never" also gained new beauty from the sym pathetic singing of this charming artist. Mrs.' Seguin appeased as the iia.ge, anti played the part bewitchingly. It I'ol to her to sing cipe of the prettiest songs, "Thought cannot reach thee," and she was completely equal to the &mawd upon her fine voice. • We observe with regret that oue of the morning papers accuses Mrs. Seguin of a want of be coming modesty in her costume. Simplejus bee to this excellent lady requires that we should. 'flay that in the opinion of the larger nortion other most fastidious audience,.her ilresa.wasnot only tasteful and beautiful,but al together so decorous and proper that a thought of any impropriety in its construction or ar rangement did not once present itself. It is right thatthis should be said, for Mrs. Seguin is not only a good artist, but a modest and es timable woman, who will be deeply planed at such a charge us this. • • Mr. Campbell's " Figaro" is Open to just this objection : that it lacks that vivacity, that. intense quickness, that mercurial character which belongs to this personage. Mr. Camp bell is hardly a first-rate actor at any time.bnt in this part, which demands peculiar lightness and celerity of motion, he is almost wholly unequal to the occasion. But he sang the music splendidly, and at no time was his per formance in this respect . better than in the lively song, "'Then away, for the bright vision" or "Non pin andrai far fallone." Mr . Lawrence's r'; personation of the " Count" was capital, Like Miss Houma,. this gentle man has: improved greatly. in his method during his absence. He played gracefully and intelligently, and sang admirably irell. Alto gether, the performance was worthy 'of the enthusiasm Of the audience. It was so good that We think it Will be advisable to have it repeated , once or twice' next week.

"Tile Marriage of Figaro." to its several Items the properjustice wa4, done. The chief attraction was the fine trio (in.

'lt is a work entirely new to our mu - Meal public, and Mr. Wolfsohn is tabs thanked for this, its Bust production: it is a noble compoiltion, full of beautiful ideas, worked out with the ,skilful hand of' a master. The merit of originality , may not be disputed,and it is, in all rerpect4, a 'most valaable addition to the repertoire of classical" ,pnusio. It is needless to say that - Messrs. Wolfsohn, Hopta and Herinig played it, as it should be 'played.' Mr.' Woltbehtf's other performances were the lovely . nocturne (in .1.) flat) and itllegro vivace (G flat major) of .Chopin ; with Master Barili (a' pupil),, the Rondo (C major) for two pianos, and with Mr. Hennig, the Polonat.se for piano and 'cello, of the same , cotriposer ; the matinee, so far as the pinno was concerned, being a Chopin re. cite). These all rank among the fin< inspi rations of the composer, and were interpreted ,by Mr. Wolfaolin withrare delicacy and-feel ing. The performance of Master Barili made a most favorable impression, and gave promise of his future great excellence as, an artist. Mr. Itopta's solo was a Rereuße of De%riot, a charming inorceatt, remarkably well 'played. Mr. Ilennig.'s Adagio and Mazurka of Schu bert, • would have ,been delightful, without the Mazurka. This is an awkward, difficult movement for the instrument, and the perfor mer was not, evidently, quite equal to it. The first part, as intimated, was exquisitely repro duced. We are glad tO notice the large attend ance 'at these fine concerts, and the abiding in terest manifested in them. The earnest and sacrifibing efforts of years made by Mr. Wolf sohn are beginning,.at" last, to be recognized and rewarded.. The next matinee will be given on March 11th.

The Havana correspondent of the World has a lotto! , upon -the- condition, of allitirs. in Cuba. After describing the funeral of the edi tor Castanon, who was murdered by Cubans at Key West, he says : It was feared by many, and expected by more, that the funeral ceremonies would be followed -by attacks upon Cubans on the part of the most lawlessly disposed of the angry Spaniards, and I regret to say that the fears have been realized and the expectations fat. lllltd. in the cemetery, while Senor Casta non's body was being walled-up in its assigned ,niche (here the Spaniards of, wealth bury their dead in huge walls perforated for the par pose)crary Cuban began a harangue against, the •Spaniards,and . Would at once have been killed had not several gentlemen, who knew he was .demented,• Interfered in his behalf, and ob tained that instead of being killed he should be sent to prison. • At dark of the same day two Cubans were arrested near the Plaza de Armes, accused of having spoken disparagingly of Senor Castanon, add of having also used seditious language. A crowd of volunteers quickly gathered around them, and would have at once murdered them had not a number of regular officers and policemen opposed them, and with some difficulty escorted the 'men to prison. The Avengers of Castanon. These were cases in which the desire for, blood was checked, but other eases ROOD af forded compensation to the battled volunteers. A number of these, arms inban_d, self-ap pointed avengers of Senor Castanon, peram bulated the streets to. a late hour at night "seek- • ing for and finding opportunities , to perform deeds of blood. • - Nine Victims Murdered. The number of victims for the night, as far - as I can ascertain, atuounts to nine, though sonie reports place it at thirteen. The weitth - er was bad, and this fact and the prudential' ac tion.of the Cubans in ,remaining within doors almost in mass, no doubt made the oppottU nities of the volunteers limited - ones and pre cluded the number of victims froni being •greater. • , One Victim an American Citizen. And now, it is my painful duty to annotate° that' among the murdered men of Wednesday night (for to'all law and order' loving , persons the bloody deeds of the volunteers, were neth i.ag.lfq4li than murders) is inchided au Ameri can citizen, Mr. Vincent Daumy, of Florida. ThiS gentleman came to Havana on the same steamer that brought over the remains of tiefior Castanon—the Lavaca—on business. Sev eral friends and acquaintances of his, aware that be was rin Key West when' the editor of the Voz de Cuba was killed, very naturally asked hiM for particulars, andin reply he told them, it seems, a tale - greatly at variance with the Spanish published reports, and furnished them acouple of copies of 27 Republlcano, the Cuban paper at hey.W est, containing the Cuban account of the killing. Unfortunately for Mr. Datimy some Spanish loyalist heard his tale and reported it to the volunteers. From that moment be was a doomed man. At about 9.30 P. M., whilst walking with a friend on San Jose - .street; between 13elascoin and Gervasio, be was attacked by a number of armed volunteers, and, in a most shameful, cowardly, and inhuman manner, was put to death. . No Arrests whatever have thus far been made of the mur derers, nor in fact of any of the murderers of Wednesday night. A Chinaman only has been arrested for one of the murders—that of an old man on Calzada del Monte—the autho rities pretending that in this case at, least the murder was not for political motives: The Prensa is the only journal that has as yet even alluded to the killing of Mr. Danmy, and this, too, without mentioning his , name, or stating that he was an American. It says he wits killed for having used improper and unbe coming language (haberse eepresado en terrninas imam:vacates); and I hear that many volun-, teers are charging that he also stated that Seilor Castanon only received, what. he richly deserved. Murders at Matanzas. It is noValone in 'Havana that, deeds of vio lence have followed the killing of Sailor Cas- tatton. In 31atanzas, too, the Spanish volan teers made the murder the cause for attacks; upon Cubans, in which several of these lest are reported to have been sacrificed to the Spanish exasperation: (iii Wednesday' Morn ing several thousands of armed yolunteers as sembled around the prison, in 'which were• confined a number of political prisoners, and savagely clamored for their blood in avenge ment of that of Seilor Castanon.- Governor Burriel firmly refused the demand, and at once telegraphed to Captain-General =Roala4 for instruttions, and promptly received the following well-titned answer =.= To the Governor of Afatanyis: The law of re taliation, of itself unjust, gives a sad idea of tho character of <those who employ it.
