C. T. Mitchell, B.W-Bar ding, O. P. Colvin, A. Titus, G. Weaver, C. B. Williams, W. Walker, Misses P. A. Transcend, A. Tiffany and V. V. Walker. The plot of the drama, as the title must indi cate, represents the direful effects which follow the youth in his descent in the luringscale of in- temperance, until he awakes at last and finds himself rapidly whirling in the maelstrom of drunkenness and crime. . The dark picture is finally relieved by the re demption of one who was on the brink of de struction, which casts agleam of joy, comfort and social happiness over a pitiful and revolt ing scene of want, misery and crime. We have not time or space, neither will it be expected that we shall give a stage criticism, and treat each character separately, but we can say that notwithstanding our mind had been wrought up to a very high degree of expectation, we' were, more than satisfied with the actual deliamastra. don, and we but repeat the universal opinion of others in connection with our own when 'we say that the characters were well selected, and remarkably well presented. a At the close of the performance on Wednes day evening, we miderstand that a very pleasant dancing party assembled at the Tarbell House, in which all who participated expressed themselves highly pleased.

The merits of the bill were generally and free ly discussed by a large urtmbi:t of those present, and there appeared to be a unani mous and emphatic opposition to it—nut a voice being raised in its favor. On mo tion of A. O.

In 1885 he came South and was made legal adviser of the South Carolina freedmen. Re was a delegate to the Reconstruction Convention, and Was afterwards elected to the State Senate. Wright Is quiet, well-behaved, and decidedly Intelligent, but neither his decency nor his little knowledge of the law caused his election to the highest judi cial position In the State.

The Radicals themselves, white and black, know that Whipper tanot , p4 tit credit the position which has been dragged dotvii to his level.

Grant's elevated patriotism, true republican principles, the general sense of the term, or of the honesty and kindness of heart His public career during the war and since has proved that. Nor is the President Incapable of learning statesmanship. He has a large nand of practical common sense, and common sense is the first quality of a states man. During the war be advanced In knowl edge by experience and showed himself compe tent for every emergency. Tbough he com menced as a colonel of a regiment, and bad nev er been in command of a larger force, he rose through his military genius and practical sense to the command of all the armies It is true the thundation of this brilliant military career was laid in a West Point education and some little service previously in the army; but with out genius or great ability lie never could have gained the victories be did gain or have carried' out that glorim% earapaign which close up the I war. Looking, then, at his great success as a I military man, we might hope for the display of uncommon talents In the administration o r t h e government. We find many exagmles in his tory of great commanders becomidg the first of statesmen. Cesar, the first Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington and others may be named as ex amples. We are aware that Omani Grant had no experience or training In civil alleirs till he attained, a short time since, the elesated posi tion he occupies—had never been even in a l ou d legislature or employed as a civil oftleer; but the same qualities of mind which di s ti ng ui s h e d him so much as a general might make him It great statesman were be to i apply with industry and ambition to civil affairs It s only neses eery, we believe, that he should Cut loose from the weak men and mere politicians that sue round him, trust to his own practical common sense and patriotic impulses, and act Independ ently for the good and glory of the country. General Grant's conduct at the close of the war, and for some time after, showed broad and correct views of national affairs and indicated ability for statesmanship. Immediately after the rebellion was suppressed be wished to see the Union restored at once and the sad memo ries of the war obliterated as soon as possible. It was evident he did not favor then, and for some time afterwards, the prolonged reconstruc tion agitation, proscription or the Southerners or the party political object of Congress in keep ing the question of reconstruction open. He had large and liberal views then. It will be remembered, too, how broadly national and pa triotic he was on the question of the French oc cupation of Mexico, when he boldly proposed to march an army across the Rio Grande to drive the French from American soil. In fact, on all questions both of a domestic and foreign character he was liberal, republican and Ameri can to the core. His heart is right, doubtless, but he has trusted to others when he should have followed his own Impulses, has suffered himself to be the tool of a faction when lie had the people with him and the power to carry out his own policy, and is now only drifting along as a few men direct bin, because he wishes to avoid trouble and to take things easy. Be seems to have lost in a measure his Independence and ambition einem he became President. None of General Grant's predecessors had the opportunity he has for accomplishing great things and acquiring fame. He is President when the republic is undergoing a great materi al, social and political revolution, partly as a re sult of the war arid partly from the wonderful developments of the age. The American re public, with its forty millions of intelligent and intensely active citizens, its boundless and varied resources and wonderful ituilre, holds the first position among nations, and is the one to whieh the people of all others are loolsing as the hope of the world Genera! Grant holds the helm of affairs just as we Mice commenced this new ens of progress and griVaiess. Will he comprehend this and the glorious opportunity before him? Instead of suflering blondl to be clogged In the mire of party politics, or to be controlled by weak aud narrow-minded politi cians, can he raise himself up to the grandeur of the occasion and high aspinitions of the nation'? Congress is weak and tossed about like a ship at sea without a rudder. It waists to be stcercd It needs a guiding hand. The dominant party that elected General Grant looks to the admin istration for maintaining its power, and would be glad to follow the President in any popular course he might mark out for himself Recon struction is about to be finished and will no longer be a political question. There remain the various questions pertaining to the national finances and taxation. With regard to these the President may do something beneficial to the country. He can cut down all expenditures of the departments to the lowest figures and this save millions a year. He can use his power to check the extravagance of Congress and by an improved system of taxation to lessen the burdens of the people. He can set his face against the national bank monopoly and the schemes in Congress now to Increase its enor mous power and profits at the expense of the public. There is abroad field In these and other purely domestic questions for distinguishing and making himself popular lint if he would arouse the sysmpathies of the people. if he would touch the popular heart, and make his adminis tration famous in history, he must do something to gratify national ambition. There is Cuba looking to us for practical sympathy and annex ation. This rich and most valuable island on the border of the republic, if annexed, would not only greatly enlarge the area of our domin ion and republican liberty, but would tend very much to revive our eocumeree and declining mercantile marine ; would incre a se the variety of our products, and would strengthen our pow er throughout the,American Continent, seas and islands.
