,Lairt year, it may ; be remembered, Mr.
Wax/Amer produced; at Arch-street Theatre,
an amusing play called t 4 Our American, Cori
sin,,,! which had great , success,at, the time, and
is drawing good hems at this very time. He
,purchased this drama from the widow of the late
Jos._Smassz, an Ainerican actor.who had
made, a deeislediy favorable impression :at the
•Adelphi Theatre, in London, and had commis
sioned a playwright, named Mr. TOM Tama,
to write a,drama for him, in which a Yankee
visiting England should figure very extensive
ly., It will be understood, of course, that Mr.
,Sturess excelled in the, grotesque delineation
of what is called it Yankee character,"--;-aline
whieb,. whether natural or theatrical, was
wholly new to Mr. Toss T.trzoa. , According
ly, Mr. 8114.8111 gave him hints, ideas, dialect,
traits, and so ea, with which to build up the
part which he desired to perform. The • result
yea the amusing tinusitt'of " par AMerican
Cousin," In which the principal port is that of
Asa Treschard, a pretty hard Vermonter, with
a large heart in the , right place. Thousands,
in this city, who have seen Mr. J. S. Crams
play that character, will recognise the truth of
our description.
Mr. artanau, as a matter of course; paid
lir. Tow Tarims for this pliy, a manuscript
copy of Which was banded to him. Returning
to this country without having produced it In
England, Mr. Susan Limited - a imitable op
portunity of bringing it out in one of our
'large cities. Ere. that , arrived, Mr. Strauss
died; and among the' property which lie be
queathed to 1M widow was this play, em
phatically his own—first by the suggestions
andMforthation which'he gave Mr A lou TAT-
Loa, as to the construction of thli charaCter
et ales Treeehard, and secondly by - thi, mo*-
ney.he paid, for it. As already related, Mr.
Wenrarnar lought the Play from the Widow.

since the question was brought before a legal

•To us, who claim to have .101330 little know

The New Police Hill.
A final vote was taken in the Penneylvania
Senate yesterday upon the new police bill
which had been vetoed by Governor PACKER,
and as it did not obtain the requisite support
of two-thirds of the members present, it failed
to become a law. Tho vote, as might natu
..
rally have boon expected tinder the circum
stances, was a,strictly partisan ono.
' There can be no rational doubt that the good
of the community requires that our police force
should be permanent in its character. The
general change of policemen, consequent upon
every political revolution in our elections for
Mayor, is an unmitigated evil. The number
of applicants for these stations not unfre
quently reaches from seven to ten thousand
men, who neglect their usual avocations to
, engage in struggles for appointments, and in
nine cases out of ten are certain to be unsuc
' cessful ; and the new appointees, being unfit
, miller with their duties, make for a time but
poor conservators of the peace and guar
dians of the property of the city.
Those who, after acting as policemen for
trio years, and thus rendering their former
avocations distasteful, and becoming familiar
with many different phases of vice and crime
in tha discharge of their official duties—when
they find themselves suddenly thrown out of
office—are left in a truly - pitiable condition in
many instances, and are exposed to peculiar
temptations, which, if they have not a strong
sense of moral rectitude, are overpowering.
Besides, when from eight to ten thousand men
of either party are expectants of appointments
as policemen, and a band of eighteen thousand
offlee-seekers are thus induced to regard our
municipal elections as contest!, in which they
have - a deep personal interest, we must not be
astonished at the fierceness of the straggles
which ensue, or the frauds and iniquitous in-
strumentalities resorted' to to secure success.
But while the best interests of the city, as
well as of the great mass of the aspi
rants for places as policemen, would be
served by investing our police force With a
permanent character, in inaugurating this lin- I
portant reform, care should betaken to do jus
tice to all parties; and inasmuch as the politi
cal contests of the last ton years show that
Philadelphia is nearly equally divided between
the; Democratic party and the organizations
antagonistic to it, and inasmuch as there are a
number of good trained policemen of both
parties who have become familiar with their
duties under the opposition administrations of
COMSAT. and Maas, and under the Demo
cratic administration of Vans, it would be but
eat and fair, that a police force should be made
up of a nearly equal number of members of
each party, and that any new police board %id
may be organized should not be animated by
Proscriptive o partisan animosities, but bo as
equally balanced, politically, as possible.
The bill recently vetoed by the Governor
was grossly unjust to the Democratic party of
this city. The Legislature should have re•
membered that, white itiosimportant that our
police force should be brrested with a perma
nent character, the reform, to bo just and per
manent, should be fairly inaugurated.
Itali2n Opera.
Last night the Academy was crowded. &Went
ly Passion Week has not much effect on the musi
cal taste of the city. There was, however, curiosity
to compare all the lifarthae with this youngest of
all Manilas. The snore is entirely in Mlle Patti's
voice, but the style of music is not calculated to
display the qualities for which she is celebrated,
and by which she is indeed wonderful among
singers--her great facility. " The Last Rose of
Summer," of course, produced its usual effect, and
more so, as in the encore she repeated the romance
in English—an innovation not in atriot good taste,
but, of course, taking. As an English country girl
Adelina looked like Rude Red Riding Rood. She
acted with great eimplicity and ease. Martha hiss
been very fortunate In her representatives hero—
Johannson, Lagrange, Colson. Not only were these
ell great artists, but Martha was one of the best
parts of all these three cantatrioes, all finished ar
tists, all artiste and women of experience. It is,
therefore, not to be wondered at if Patti, pretty and
agreeable as she was, effaced none of the past me
mories. Brignoli woe warmly welcomed. The
enthusiasm of the evening was decidedly for Brig
non. Junco, though of course be sang the music
correctly, did not produce any particular effect in
pail which Posmea made so brilliant and in
which Banli was so excellent.
The opera was considerably curtailed, perhaps
judiciously for the singers, but the audience missed
the duet between the basso and tenet, and the
scene of the tenor in the last act—the opera, with
out it, being brought to a sudden and most abrupt
oonotaston.
About this evening's performances we have only
a few words to say. 3fadame,oolson, that the
roughly-reliable vocalist, who never disappoints
an audience, who is at once gifted and unpresu
ming, and who racily takes a dual and farewell
benefit, ought to, be strongly encouraged., Years
may elapse before we have a prima donna Ake

has never been made half enough of In this city—
and we shall not pause to inquire whether, and
why, the management have kept her bank, or why
the publics have not fallen into raptures about her,
aa they did to far inferior singers. Sho ought to
have a crowded home this evening, as a personal
not less than a professional tribute. The opera is
"The Sicilian Vespers," which is, gorgeous show
piece, and Madame Opleen will sustain the tele
of the Duchess, as before. We hike leaye to say
that, without in the slightest degree compromising
his dignity, Signor Brignoll might have shown his
respect for Madame Colson, by sustaining his for
mer character in this opera, which Signor Stigolli
will this evening take. His not doing so appears
a little ungracious. Stigelli, however, is a careful
and good singer, end the part will be oaf() with
him.

THE PRESS.7-PMLADELPMA,
WASHINGTON OORRE':PONDENOE.
Letter from • “Occamonol."
Correnvondenoe of The Prima
Wlettriratort, April 4,1880
When ,President Piercei returned from Europe,
he said to hie friends, that while he had greatly
enjoyed his trip he labored all the time under the
emberrassment of being an ex-President of the
United States at the early age of fifty-four.
Whereverhe went he marled the honor and dignity
of the °Moo with him, and ho was compelled to
foel that the eyes of all strangers and Americans
Abroad were steadily fixed upon him. There aro
many reasons against electing very young men to
the Presidency—quite as many, indeed, as are ad
mitted to operate spinet the election of very old
men. General class Is rapidly approaching hie
eightieth year, and yet he performs a vast amount
of labor, and is conscientious in the dlseliarge of
all his duties. Mr. Buobanan will, I think, be
sixty-seven or sixty-eight on the 234 of this April.
Age has dealt more heavily with him than with
moat men. It has left him a strong constitution,
but made hint irritable, peevish, and suspi
cions. Judge Douglas is the oldest young man
on the list. lie will forty-six on the 21st
of April, but his mTnd is a storehouse of
learning, statesmanship, and experience,. lie
has been in publio life more than a quarter of 'a
century, having begun his remarkable career just
as be entered manhood. Ile was' a county judge
when almost a boy, then a member of the Legisla
ture:then United States District Attorney, then a
judge of the Supreme Court, and from /844 to 1880
bus ()templed leading positions in both' brambles of
Congress. lie knows, to-day, more than most men
who survive to twice his age. Should he beehosen
President, however, he will not be fifty-one at the
expiration of his first tonal. Mr. l3reekinridge, who
has so many friends in your region and throughout
the country, in not yet thiriy.nine, and will , there
fore be about forty-four (should he ba chosen Pie
stunt), at the expiration of his four years. 'He la
bors under other disadvantages, as compared with
ledge Douglas. Ho has been but a short time in
public life, and (although one of tho luckiest men,
having just been chosen to the Unttod States Senate
for eixyears from the fourth of March next,) could
afford-to wait, enlarge his experience, and tike his
chances in the future, without discredit to himself
or loss to his country. There is more in this idea
of electing men who are too young to the Presi.
dency than appears at first sight, and those to whom
nu boon delegated the duty of nominating the De
mocratic candidate should not reject so prime &con
sideration.
On the mike° of things in Virginia, it would I
appear that Mr. Hunter is the favorite of the Old,
Dominion, and that Henry A. Wise, lately so bel
ligerent, has subsided without making Namely a
sign of protest Those, however, who think that
the gallant en,Governor will quietly surrender to
his rival and antagonist, misunderstand his en
tirely. He will not allow Mr. Hunter to carry off
the palm without a bold anti characteristic
struggle. Mr. Hunter Is among the moat timid
and irresolute of public men, and Henry A. Wise
among the most courageous and resolitto„ Hunter
has few or no claims upon the Northern POMO*.
orawy ; Wise has
,many. Hunter is censervative t,
except on the subject of slavery ; Wise aggres
sive and progressive at all times, and on all Jones.
Mark the predietion—the South never oan be waited
upon Hunter, and I believe it may be also safely
prophesied that tho internecine warfare ameng the
aspirants of that part of the Union will at last in
duce them to 'combine in favor of a Northern can
didate for the Presidenoy. " The Washington
Constituttott" is unquestionably for General Joo
Lane, of Oregon, and I think present appearances
clearly foreshadow that if the secessionists and Ad
ministrationiets cannot g et a Southern favorite,
they will ask the Northern Democracy to agree
upon General Lane, because he has gone to the ut
termost extreme against Douglas and his friends. In
this glance into the future, however, it must not be
forgotten that Mr. Buchanan is 'himself by nomeans
willing to give up the price without an effort. He
will be nada& with nothing less than a eompli
mentary vote from the united South, and if, while
this vote is being thrown, be could rally his Milo
holders, who aro in the Convention, to 4oln with
the Synth, the compliment might end in a sub.
stantial renomination.
By tke way, it is stated that the President is ex
ceedingly indignant that Mr. &hell, the collector
of New York, should have admitted, before the
Covode committee, that he sent thirty thousand
dollars into Pennsylvania in 1800. That there was
a large amount spent in that campaign by both
parties everybody knows, and in the coming aloe-
Son hundreds of thousands will be spent; in the
same way.. But Mr, Buchanan's ire was 'roused
lest the country would conclude that be had given
Mr. Scholl the important office of collector of Now
York bemuse he had raised this large fund.
4 number of persons holding contracts from the
Administration, as well as many who aro in office
under it, have taken ears to have themselves

themselves against the malice of the President, Or
the intrigues of his Cabinet. Nearly all the lead
