In the City
_Councils last evening, Henry bamhert,
Esq., the City Controller, submitted a report, ac
companied by h statement of the real and personal
property, and funded and other debts of the city of
Pittsburgh.
The report states that the' members of the fire cum
panies claim that the iEterest the city in their ap
paratus is not so great as the statement sets forth,
and also announces that the assessments under the
new paving law would shortly be in the Treasurer's
hands fur collection. It is the opinion of the Con
troller, and also, we have been informed, of the Fi
nance Committee, that tne payment for paving must
be made in cash, inasmuch as the proceeds are sot
apart for the Sinking Fund. Instructions are asked
as-to whether the Treasurer shall be autnurigod to
receive warrants for paying tax, as unless Councils
order otherwise, the Controller announces that he
will instruct the Treasurer not to receive warrants
for paving obligations. It strikes us that the war
rant of the city, which is in faot.a sight check upon
her Triasurer, is in tact cash so far as the city is
concerned as a creditor. The city has no moral and
we think no legal right to say to the person who owes
a paving " You must pay cash into my Sinking
Fund, and get the cash fur my warrant wherever
you and we think if Councils try it on they
will find a small rebellion raised about their ears.
Mr. Latnbert'e statement is a valuable public—doeu
ment, and should be read by every tax payer. ft is
am first complete statement which has ever been laid
before the citizens of Pittsburgh of how uitieti the
city is worth and how much she owes. Mr. Lambert
has prepared it with great csrs, and in itself it is an
evidence of his peculiar c,,tupctonay to perform the
duties of Controller.

Drew - View of Pittsburgh, by W, C. W all
Oar talented follow townsman, W. C.
has Just finished a most capital picture, and ono
which cannot fail to add to his already high reputa
tion es an artist. It is a view of the city of Pitts
burgh, taken from a point on the Ohio, below Saw
Mill Run, and including the borough t.,f Manchester
and the scenery and surroundings of our city. It is
the most complete and charaeteristic view of Pitts
burgh which has yet Lean painted. The point of
view is such that the character and extent of our
city is most expressively given. In looking at it,
one sees that it is a portrait of an active, bustling,
hasy place; all the prineipal buildings and localities
are distinctly marked, and altogether Pittsburgh
itself is present upon the cancan. As a painting, it
is a most elaborately wrought and highly finished li
work of art. Mr. Wall, with the true modesty of
real talent, produces picture after picture of great
intrinsic merit_far superior in excellence to the
Irwin; of many who have obtainad more notoriety
than he has, bat who liavo not laid the foundation
for anything like the permanent reputation to which
he 18 entitled, and which such pictures as the ono of
which we are speaking cannot fail to secure him.
We hope every lover of art in Pittsburgh will care.
fully examine and criticise this new work front
Mr. Wall's pencil. It is no ordinary production, and
will bear study. It may be seen in Gillespie's win•
dew, on Wood street.

OUT cotemporarics—especially thosa in the 9011E3-
non lino---hare had a splendid nut to crack, arising
cut of a diCi,mlty between bliss Kimberly and some
portion of her company, which culminated in a
"strike" on Friday night, when Miss Cushman was
to play Meg Merrilles. As usual, there are two aides
to tho question, and the following statements of the
affair are authoritative and satisfactory :
With regard to the recent occurrence at the Pittsburgh
Theatre, It is proper that I should make the following
rief statement. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Friday,
the company assembled on the stage to see me, and thou
and there demanded from the management the fulithuent
et ci,nditions to which they had never agreed—ii hich con.
dill, 12.1 were declined,—at which they partitupturily refused
to play that evening, and loft the Theatre for their several
homes. I returned to the I ox-office, and there found toe
Mayor wishing to obtain seats for the evening I then and
there made known to him, ror the that time, the actien !ha
company had taken a few moments previous, and asked
him if they were not liable to arrest for conspiracy. He
expressed nu upinicu that they wore cc) liable, and, anew
bleat lawyer happeni - g in at the utemeut, the Mayor re
u.aiked, "Here's a getille,ou can tell you better than I
ca.." and this geutlenian 8,0 that it looked very strongly
like a char Case of ceasidracy. This accidental met.ting in
the Irx...flice with th Mayor, and this brief conversation,
was the c oly time IGLOO: him that day, with the exception of
the time whets Le cone to the box-Mike in the evening to
receive the mouey to be sutrusted t., him. I never sought
him at his dike, or in his box in.tlie evening, and I do not
know that he woe a Iced to do anything iu the matter hut
what any private citizen might htn•e been willing to have
dote.
. .
In mediately after the company left the Theatre, in the
afternoon, 1 again sought them, and arranged with them,
each separately, to play in the evening, I agreeing to pay
them the several sums they required, amounting in all to
$9l. Near the time for the curtain to go up, they were as
sembled iu the Green room, and demanded from me Mtn,
the payment of the sum promised, before they would go
upon the stage. I declined paying it, fur I could have no
assurance that they would perform after they hail got it—
but expressed a willingness to deposit the money with ai.y
responsible person The money In the Treasury belonged
to the audience, and I would not part with that money until
they had received what they had paid fur. I suggested to
thorn the name of Ilia May so a proper person to deposit
the money with, to which they assented; the Mayer, being
in the Theatre, was called on by the Treasurer, and the con
dition of things stated to him, at which ho kindly consented
to receive the money iu trust for the members of the com.
parry claiming it, giviug assurance that ho would nut pay it
ever indiscriminately, and not until we bad notified him
who wero mostly entitled to it.
This Is the last I saw of the Mayor or the money, and all
I hail to du with hint or the optimally iu the transaction.
The statement of Mrs. K. (Miss Kimberly) fully sets forth
what followed after.
do coriclusiou, I will simply present the fullowiug brief
statemobt of the accutuits of those members of the rompauy

Many of the above were members of the Company who
went to Youngstown to give performances, and required
assistance to leave there—which aid was rendered to the
amount of S4S 81. This sum to divided among ten of them
at $1 ha each, and Master Lewis and Mr. Bowes' child, $1 St
each; and ti use amounts aro charged to their accounts upon
salaries at that time fn arrears to them. The above are all
the parties with whom Bus honor Lad any dealings. The
Mayor's kind-hearted clemency iu paying the money en
trusted to him, Indiscriminately to those who claimed it,
has caused him to over-pay some, instead of paying it to
thee to whom it was due.
The total amount of balances now duo to the whole co.-
pray and employees of the theatre is sl3l,BB—this,
after a remarkably depressed winter,
. -u
in a season of eight
weeks, and disbursements that time amounting to
$18,042,52.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC
Lk:Roving that my business affaira possess very littte iu
Wrest for the general public, itud that they are not a proper
subj-ict for newspaper ,thicuisiOn, I am, nevertheless con
strained by the numerocia misstatements contained in tho
newspapers, to give a few brief facts in self defence.
my earliest Intimation of difficulty among the company
attached to the Pittsburgh Theatre was at a late hour on
Friday afternoon, but as that was apparently arranged, I
was much ourpiteedto find, at the time announced for the
performance, that some of the members had combined to
extort from me a compliance to demands insulting to my
integrity and unrecognized iu any contract between us.
Ou this 12th of the present month, though their names
wars ou the bills and. the performance duly announced for
the evening, certain members of the company dishonorably
lett mo, despite my wishes or any proposition in my power
to make to them. And this, toe, In violation of written
agreements between us binding either party to give one
w , ek's notice of their intention to dissolve their engag.-
unut. According to all theatrical usage, the breach of
such a specification entails upon the delinquent the (oriel-

lure of a week's salary. Ou the following Saturday, 1 vim
itod Youngstown, Ohio, at the invitation of Its citizens, to
give a recitation of "Hiawatha," and finding the shove re
ferred to portion of the company there, unable, as they
said, Lu pay their expenses, I assumed their bills, amount
Mg to nearly fifty dollars, and
,re-engaged them for the fol

from previous arrangements ur obligation between ue. The
public will therefore judge of my surprise and understand
my indignation, when atter acting but two nights, they de
manded their week's salary in advance, making their de.
termination known at a menial!, fatal to all interests. To
their unreasonable demands I mutt decidedly, and I think.
justifiably, refuLe.l to submit, for two reasons, viz; First
oil account of the dishonesty of their demand, and secondly,
fur lack of security that they would, fulfil their engagement.
I. consented, however, to deposit the total amount in trust.
to be puid over when their part of the contract should be
fulfilled. The next question was, who could be found to
entrust with the enormous sum of one hundred and thirty
lee dollars. Hie Honor, the Mayor, and faulty being in my
private bog, ho was sent for, and solicited sax private cit..-
can and not in his official capacity, to take charge of the,
Renult. Ile obliged ma by doing so. Still the eompauy

business his Ilunor certainly did not anticipate—''eight dol

sauce lea; while others in better' position, with more mod
esty and merit, were not obtaining justice. To this I
oh
jectr_d, disputing the trims of some, and more than ac
knowledging the demands of others. But upon the assu
rance of the Mayor that the manmentruged to him should
t go out of his hands until both parties were satisfied, the
interesting ceremony was permittrd to proceed till all seem
ed appeased.
Thu curtain rose—the play—Guy Munnering—proc Nits],
but at its close they again became clamorous. Now not Is,
sesurity.but for the money. hia Honor, .evidectly unmnsl
to such a pandinionia, was about to pay over the deposit,
when E. reminded him of his assurance that the money
should nut be paid over indiscriminately, but that ho shonbi
icluin it till Justice should be equally distributed among the
company and secured to myself—remindinghlm iu addition,
that if he parted then with the money, 7. had nu certainty
that they would fulfil the remnant of their engagement
He wan willing to take their word—(was not. du!eoedrot
acts of theirs forbade the belirf that I could trout hem iu
the luture. In vain did I protest. The Mayor oad over
the money, (Without receipt or voucher,) while I assured
him that if he paid certain 11U1119 to certain parties, it mutt
be on his own responsibility lie replied that ho "w..uld pay
them from his own purse, (or pocitet,) and he believed he

This, I regret exceedingly, tor though well meant, it hue
subjected me to the mortification of u eecund time closing
the The Are, while bills were out auueuncing a performance,
and has also deprived me of emu night's recc:pts aft. r th • en
tire, expenses were incurred 'and paid. Tu thew how the
Mayor was rewarded for his kinduesi and generous reliance
upon their word, I will rimply Mate that they, the neat
morning, resort d to the bar-ruum, and arranging their
plans, submitted their names to a card, for insertion ILI the
papery, announcing that they would not perform that even
ing, and thou calling ou the Mayor to express their willinz•
noes to fulfill their proud :es and appear, at the imam time
deputing the stage manager to call at the box office and
say that the company wore willing to play in the pieces and
parts they were cast for, bud no other, end also to elate, Ls
they had not been able to study those parts, (having receiv
ed then. only that morning) it would be utterly Impossible
to upp:ar respectably, leaving inn no alternative but to close
the Theatre, as I foroaw on the evening previous, I should
be compelled to do.
Without column:it ug on the facts above stated, and quite
wilting to leave the public to form their owl, Inferences, I
will merely add, that I took the Pittsburgh Theatre at a
1,10.11)11 when business of all kinds was depressed and par.
my zed—that I have taxed my time, energies, profeaaional
knowledge and private resources to au amount of nearly
three thousand dollars, to maintain It as a place of respecta
ble and ratiunal amusement, and to afford employment to
the weak, ventilating, misguided people whose desertions
have twice caused its premature close. This IA an effort I
shall maintain. Thu Theatre will soon be re.opencid. Mr.
Max Maretzek's Opera Troupe, from the Philadelphia and
Now York Academies of Sfuslc—the most celebrated and in
every way superior in attraction that ban appeared west of
the Allegheny
Mountalus—aud I certainly trust that in
future, to the Wetly
auucvauces of managerial life, I may
not be again compelled to add misrepresentation at the
halide of that great engine of universal information—the
public Press.

Its advantages over other Soaps are:—let. It la cheaper
to use, one pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 2J, Ralf the time need only be occupied in washing
when this Soap is used In place of other Soap. ad. Labor

when this Soap Is used, and hard or salt water answers
equally as well as soft. sth. Printers, Machinists, Painters
and others, find it fur superior to other Soaps. It speedily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink end dirt from the
hands, leaving the skin soft, and free tram chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of
the wash-board, the following directions should be followed :
For the washing of eight or ten of a family, take cue
pound of Soap, cut it into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about ten gallons of warm water; pour in the dissolved
Soap, and stir thoroughly. Let tl , em soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, anti rinse In warm water once, cold
water twice. A-very dirty wrist-band, or seam, or grease
vets, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the
clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing or
boiling. 'Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
