"It's a shame,' cried one of the cory phees on the stage of Niblo's Oarden Theatre, alter 12 o'clock last Saturday night, as one of her sisters was paid off. "She only received IK) cents " "And she has worked o hard all the week," said another iuHin)er of the ballet. "Don't uiention the commonwealth to nie," echoed a masculiue voice from under the walls of Castle Wolfenstein. "If von do I'll kill vou." replied Mr. John Hammond, the efficient stage manager, who stood with his back to- ward the laboratory, of Ilertzog the TUack Crotk. Terhaps Mr. Hammond had worked harder aud received less in proirtion than any one on the stajre. Two hundred people wandered about the atage long after they were ready to leave, fcach one of the hallet held in her hand a green check, !eing a vouch er for her walary. 'It wotildnardly seem the ghost will walk this ev'nin','"' said one of the u ters, who waa anxious to get home, as he had an engagement to go a-tibhing on Sunday morning at 4 o'clock. During this time the Klralfy brothers -luireand IJoUsiy and Mr. Paxton aat busy at a table to the left of the stage under n great bnsh light. In the tirst slimming up of the evening's re ceipt, which had Itoen the largest of the week, there had been some mistake, necessitating a recounting. The Star refmrter stood at the top of Stalaet's grand staircase, talking to Mr. John Smith, who has lecn the Cerberus of Niblo's for over twelve years. There was general confusion all over the stage, but no noise. The younger members of the ballet were frisking alxmt, while the older ones were meditating it' their x.rt ion tit' the receipts w ould meet the week's hoard bill. At last the call of "Ready" was given, and every one rushed to the treasury-table and re ceived their last salary at "the Crook" as they culled it. The members then began to hlo out, jt beiue just 12: to Sunday Morning. The reorter met Mr. I aire Kirall'y as he was passim; out, aud asked hiai: "Hovv is everything " "It vas all right: everys..y vas paid, urU all aatLslied." "How alnut the week owes?" "i ii. it vas more one Sir, Statin week ll ll a half." A v ivacious-blonde, a member of the lallet, spoke up. suvim;: "Mr. Mill for. I. Mr. St rln's agent. a.sktsl us to continue our engagement. promising that he would pav us, n- up nallv. as we were altont to break altogether, the Kiralfy Urothers agreed to take the management on shares. Since then we have been doimr pretty fairlv, but someltodv sent word to the Kiral fvs that they had no right whatever to tlie premises, ami that if they attempt ed to continue the representation of the "Crook they would be turned out. "We intend lo take legal proceed imrs." interrupted another. "S'on see, Mr. Mulford promised to pav us Sat urday night, then ho said to-day .Sunday), and, as you see. he has again disappointed us. To-morrow we will see what is best to le done." - Th Kiralfy Brothers were found at the Hrand Central Hotel, and from them waa received the following particulars of their connection with the troupe : "We kept the honse running for the porpose solely of getttng money for the poor, starving girls, it is not true that we abandoned the couip.iny. The facts are these: Mr. Straiu hr still held responsible to the stewart estate for rent, etc., up to the 17th of Auyusxt by a written .co tract. Ho you aee it would le impossi ble to mak'eany arrangement to rent the theater, as Mr Strain, as the lessee, has the right to come back at any time and claim his rights. The reporter next sought Mr. Wil IlnBi A. Mulford, Jr., brvlness maiia irefof Mr. P. V. Strain. Mr. Mulford said : "I had hopes of running the house another week. I made an offer to Col. Dodire, but he would uot agree to mv terms; he wants ou a week. Would I continue the 'lllack Crook?' No ; not a bit of it. There has been too much trouble with these Frenchmen already. Why. the piece had uot been many weeks on when one of the Kiral fy said to Mr. Strain, Sr., that "they (the brothers) would not allow the cur-t-iTji to go up that night. Mr. Strain i ir m came to me ami sunt : w in, go nenina and see what is the matter.' 1 went le hlnd, and they told uie the customer would not let "the piece go on uuless he got more money. "I to rued in "anger, and said, "Take your things off; costume and ail. They let tho curtains go up then." "How altont the lease ; did Mr. Starin throw It up before It expired?" "No, he did not. It is a very pecu liar story. It was, like this: In the early part of August, 1ST, Mr. Stariug came to m and snltf, 'Rill, I am going to take Niblo's fianieu." The house then, you will remember, was run down very low. T was astonished, and said it would bs a bad speculation. He said he could getit for jJi-'VOO. It was a big reut, but he fhoiiKhthe would trv it. "I asked him for how long he would take It. He replied, till the 1st of May, 1X7!. Tbe terms of the lease were then handed toyoung Mr. Starin, who signed thorn. The blanks were not filled in until sometime after. A copy'of the lease was given to Mr. .Starin afttr it harrtteen ta running order. Tbe blanks were all filled in then. It read: 'From 17 August, 1X78, to 17 August, 17U.' " "liiil, Mr. Starin give np tbe Iteya and run ay, as has been rwp4jt"eu?" "Whv, no. Mr. 8tariu notified Col. Iodge In, the latter part of Aprils that bs was going to give up,tbe keys of the theater at the time-the understanding waa set for the 1st of May, 1H71. Mr. Starin got sick abet! of brain fever, and was attended bv I r. Pearson. On the SOtlv'of.AVrll, .Mr. Styles got the keys of the theater. On the 1st of May, Col. Dodge came to the theater ami askil for the keys and acoepted them." "Mr. Starin owes the corps de bal let one week's salary. Do? b Intend to pay it ?" i ' "As soon a Mr; Htaiin is nMer'to do any business, he will see that the ballet j fcrejiaidj all he oww them." . ( "Tliis 'RlaA-'k Crook' made money, I uid it not ? " i "Vets it did. Theorignal agreement was to put on Uie 'Black Crook' fornix weeks. Mr. Kiralfy was to reeive fWo a week. Mr. Starin found business so good that he gave to Mr. Kiralfy 166 additional w ithout being asked. This he did for six weeks. Air. Starin .lias given Mr. Kiralfy J? 1,000 over what aas agreed on. a "The rent w as fcVX); the Kiralfvs, 800; 'as, 1110; calcium lights, 170; ad vert is nr. rjno." "How Miueh money baa Mr. Starin matle during the season ?" "About f K7.000." Tl avrner. " I Correspondence of the Jiewa. There are some things legitimate andT some Illegitimate; tbe legitimate act la - 'intended for good, at least it rarely evsr does harm, while the iriegiriiiiata act never does good, is never intended for such a thing. Hence we say a legiti mate act is right and an illegitimate one is wrong. Yet some things are wrong and still legitimate, because there (s no law, except the moral law. to prevent it. This is often the case in the busi ness world; men for the sake of ipuii, will do things legitimate, and yet the immorality and demoralizing effect of the act, upon the ordinary course of business, are felt by all coming in con tact with it, as much as if itweredefiued by law, as illegitimate. There are pro prieties and improprieties, courtesies and rule that govern all honest busi ness men and commercial transactions, that all fair dealing men observe. But the 'Sharper, the land- f hark among men know no proprieties, expects no cour tesies and gives none, but relies upon the power of his money to cut his way to fortune, but never to fame. Jdke the highwayman, he seeks Jhe advantage, never consulting his conscience in the matter or caring how touch society or the ordinary course of business, may suffer by it; if he can make. It the pnly inquiry that enters his brain, lake the old man who, when his bora' was about to leave him. and make ais advent' into the world, said Jo him, "my sou make money, make il honestly If you ran, but tnairetl." This is tbe motto of the "sharper." If he can make it lionestly and squarely, nil riyhthrft if.pot, he in tends to mnke it. Everv coihmifnity has its troubles, and almost all are troubled with "sharpers." It is Said that the man who holds theltottle to his neighbor's lips, und makes him a drunkard, on trails society and hn manitv. and i in ilaiiger of hell Jire. But what tdiall wo s y ttfthe "sharper," whose leprous indueiice contaminates the w hole Tiinspm-rc anMind htm, and whose waolvt life poll tiled with sin? Forgetting uis duty to himself, to man, to his country and his liod, he' unhinges- the rules of trade, demorali zes a whole community, outrages soci ety and debases himself and humanity.

We learn that Mrs. Fushee, the blind Quaker Evangelist, closed her protrac ted meeting at Fiiendship Church, in New Hope township, Friday night. She was assisted by Elders B. B. Hol der, Jacob F.

We learn that Mrs. Fushee goes to La Grange next. Mr. CounsilS. Wooten, of LaGrange, has just returned from Durham, where he had been to dispose of a lot of his tobacco crop. He sold "1,1 "Vi pounds, and realized therefrom 8703.75, being an average of 2.;)0 per hundred, and it was not a good tobacco day either, and consequently two or three grades brought rather less than was generally expected. The railroad public reception room in Goldsltoro, is now about ready to be thrown ojten to the traveling public.

THE PRCS EXT ATTITI1IK OK THE OEMOCKATs I5T CO.MWRtHM. ' Mr. Hayes Seend tete t Teat Vet foreed ou m Reviweel Army Bill ' ttwote Democratic Opinions. Washington Post, May 13. The bogus President's veto message was received in the House yesterday in a very matter of fact raauner. Its char acter and general contents were known in advance, and no interest was exci ted by its presentation in official form. With a natural feeling of contempt for the fraudulent order, "tbe House fiist went on with the business before it, aud allowed the message to lay upon the table until it was convenient to take i up. It was finally read to a full House, and no demonstration of any kind was made until the portion proArssing a de Bire to co-operate with Congress in pre venting military interference with elections was reached; then the Demo crats indulged iu derisive laughter and contemptuous looks. To offset this the. Republicans begun to applaud- ai-fths' end of fvory paragraph, and kept this up uutilthe readiiur was concluded. It was a vry miid or lei of applause, however. It is rapidly becoming evi dent that there is n division among the Radical meinliers, which t'he many pro testations of harmony and satiafactiou cannot overcome. The more moderate of their numlter realize that their party has been driven too tar in defense ol bayo nets at the polls, and before this con test goes much farther these men are going to make themselves heard. The talw art leaders have kept down mur m a rings and complaints among their followers some of them at least by giving assurances that this veto would divide the Democrats. There were members of the majority, so said Rob eson, Garfield and others, who were growing tired of this warfare, and if Hayes could only be worked up to show a little more firmness and send in another veto, some of the Democrats would yield and vote to pass the appro priation bills pure and simple. It was upon this assumption that the Radicals introduced their army appropriation bill yesterday with a motion to pass it under a suspension of the rules. "There'll be Democrats enough to go with us to pass it," said the two sangu ine leaders of the majority. "They can't be held together after this second veto." A motion to adjourn was voted down ' by Democratic votes, aud this made the stalwarts supremely happy for the moment. "See that," "some of them said to their brethren, exultingly, "the break has come. They couldn't carry an adjournment." The bill w as read and a vote ordered. Then the Democrats to a niau voted against it, and the Radicals only caught the Greeubacker. Then the disappoint ment came, and the laugh was on the Democratic side. "Why did you vote against adjourn ment ? '" was asked of Mr. Clytner, one of the Democrats who voted that way. "We wanted to show the Republicans,' he replied, "that they never can pass an appropriation bill. We wanted to come riirht up to the scratch and not dodge, that's why we refused to ad journ." The demonstration of streugth and harmony by the majority con viced those Republicans who favored the approval of the Ladd bill that all pre tense of breaking the ranks of their op ponents is fraud, and thev have begun to express their dissatisfaction in loud terms. The Democratic members of the House, in talking of the veto message, pronounced it p i stuff," "weak, "trashy," and used other kindred terms to express uip. tied.' EwTug," when asked his opinion by the Post replied: "Oh, it's a weak demagogical document. The only wouder is that Hayes didn't quote from the Okolona States. That would have made the thing complete. There is nothing in it worth considering." Judge Buckner, of Missouri, said it was an evasion of every part of the question at issue, that Hayes must take the people of this country fools to sup pose the Ladd bill would prevent the execution of National laws ou election day. Col Muldrowr, of Mississippi, said the message was clap-trap aud was a weak attempt to make party capital. ' Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, said it was weak and feeble, and would be so read by the country. He waa satisfied that the issue had been made so dis tinct. Mr. Coffroth, of Pennsylvania, said: "Oh, pshaw; it's humbuggery. No body can be fooled with such trash as that. We ought to adjourn, as soon as we pass the legislative bill, and let the army do without any money until the people can control it. The people in my section insist that the Democrats shill stand firm." Hon. A. H. Stephens said the veto had defined the issue clearly and had given the Democratic party a great ad vantage if used wisely. A SOBTOF CHAOS. Koine Think this, and Nome Thiol that, and What the Result Will be Ao Han Knoweth. There are a number of Dcnocratic members of both -houses who 10-day openly expressed themselves ax in fa vor of atljouming the very instant the legislative, executive and judicial bill comes back with tbe veto it is sure to meet. But there are others equaly as numerous who would oppose any such course, and these believe there w ill be no loss of party prestige on that ac count. Some "favor making another ef fort to frame a bill which may meet the President's approval, in v iew of the re mark contained in the concluding sen tence of his message. There is a talk of holding another caucus after the veto message is voted on to-morrow. This afternoon, when Mr Deering moved to pass the army appropriation bill under the suspension of the rules, fif teen Democrats voted against the mo tion ( w hich was immediately made by Mr. Knott) to adjourn. Thi- was taken as an indication of a break in the Dem ocratic ranks, but this was not so. The Democrats who voted with the Repub licans against adjourning did so simply because thev preferred to vote down the bill at once. It was noticed that all the Greeubackers, with the exception of Mr. Ladd, voted to pass the bill under the suspension of the rules. Mr. Fel ton. of Georgia, voted for the passage of the bill, but through the remonstran ces of Mr. Alexander L Stephens he was indoel toehange his vote. It is too soon to premise w hat will now be done, any more than that the Senate will goon an conclude the consideration ofthe legislative bill. There is some sentiment among the I emocrats against passing any army bill, w hile on the other hand some of the members of tlie party assert that the army bid must be Eassed no matter what else is done. As ere.ofore outliued in this correspon dence, the probabilities are that under an v circumstauces the appropriations r will be passed, but in such shape that no money can oe usea ior me poniacat par poses ofthe Republican party with out a violation of law. Officials in close oeatrection with - tha President .make tbe assertion to-night that the admin istration has assurance from a number of Southern members sufficient to con stitute a majority with the Republi cans that the appropriations ahowld hot be witheld. While it is undoTot41x true that from the begining of the epo sion certain Southern members have expressed tbe nselvea o hi 3eetj it is liarouy likely that they have com municated auy assurances that they will separate themselves from their party associate. THE PLIANT PL'NY PHEtSIDE.Vr. At Fira he wo WUltasvn thev le4 JUKI aunm asMl Aftiun dm h i Backbone Cove In. Ale lira on d Dispatch - i There la nht a shadow of tloubt about the truth , of the statement, that time and asrain to Republican and Demo crats, Mr. Hayes announced his par Toose of siimimr the bill, because he' said he could find nothing in it objeo-1 ttonable. Conkiing. Chaudler A Urx had willed otherwise, and they knew ine presiueniiai material wiin wnjcu, thev had to deal. First, uious oaio statesmen, armed with packages of lets ters iroui leading western politicians, were read to him, in which dire results to the party of freedom and moral ideas were nredicted in the event the Ladd -Mil should become a law. Then Roao- son, with his most winning smiles. courted his Excellency for hours at the time, telling him in persuasive lan gtiiige that wise men change their minds, but fools never do. Then Kief- ler, McKinley, Fisher, Hawiey, Frye, Monroe, Conger, and others assured him, bv all their love for the adminis tration, that if he signed the bill he would sound the death-knell of the Re publican party and fasten the shackles upon all the loyal colored patriots of tlie South. Chandler and Conkiing bulldozed him. In this emergency Evarts deserted him, and Schurz and Key, for the support they gave, had as well have been stalwarts. This was too much for Ohio Republican human nature, and Kutherford K. yielded After this he was pliant in their hands as clav iu the hands of a potter, and at their dictation read and approved ot the speech of Edmunds. The message of course was prepared to suit the pur poses ot his advisers, and no wonder, when it was read to the House, Demo crats received parts of it with derisive laughter, and the stalwart Republicans with applause. WHAT WILL. THE DEMOCRATS NOW DO? This is the question which was this afternoon asked of every Democratic Senator and Republican w ho could be reached, and the answer generally was, "We will go into caucus and deter mine upon our policy." That seemed wise, but was not sufficient for news paper correspondents, and these, after diftieultv, ascertained that some were for passing, at the proper time, the appropriation bill as if the President had not vetoed the Ladd bill and the rea sons they gave for thisleourse were good. One said we must by our conduct disa buse the North ol the idea that the South is now controllings charged, the legislation ot Congress in its own inter est; aud another, that we are not re sponsible for the wrong and unjust acts of Mr. Hayes or his party, but we are lor our acts. Hence, because he has vetoed a righteous bill it will net justi fy us in withholding bread and meat from officers and men who have always reluctantly done the dirty work assign ed them in the South by their Radical snperior officers. A large number of others were for simply passing a reso lution continuing the present army, and legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation acts until the lstot Janu ary next, and they urged this course because it would postpone action on the appropriation bills named until they could consult their constituents aud come back prepared to act upon their advice and with their approval. But all these closed what thev had to say by remarking: th a t.tULOH wnaitt atpe to determine what is best to be m.Sk . 3 i ; i i l IBmef It is fortunate for the Democratic paHytheit' has how in the House and Senate such wise' men as I could easily enumerate, for it needs wisdom, pru dence, and sound judgment to control its actions. WHAT TS SAID OF THE VETO. The Democratic representatives are emphatically mad to-night, and while they say, a legal document, tbe mes sage is contemptible, they pronounce it a surewu electioneering paper ior me North. Those in favor of defeating the army appropriation bill are out spoken and aggressive, and will be so in cau cus, wnile the moderate Democrats aio quiet, but believe in the end their coun sels will prevail. It a final vote were leached to-morrow the bill would cer tainly be defeated. WHY RORIE WENT TO EA. The Old Man L'ingr HI Influence to Keep UrantOut of iolitie. Washington Telegram to the Cincinnati Commercial. ll is learned here from good authori ty that the day previous to the depar ture of Mr. Borie from Philadelphia to join Gen. Grant in Europe, for the pur pose of accompanying him on his trip through India, he had a conversation I w ith a personal friend as tothemuch ! talked of candidacy of Grant tor the Presidency. In this conversation Mr. I iiorie informed his friend that his ob ! ject in going abroad was mainly at the I earnest solicitation of several of Gen. I Grant's intimate friends in Philadel i phia. Who were alarmed at what, they termed the efforts of the politicians to put the General forward as a candidate for President in 180. Said Mr. Borie to his friend: "Under no circumstances should Gen. Grant permit his name to go before a political convention. He has had all the honors and renown that can be given to any American citizen, and if he were to run again for Presi dent and be defeated, even though he should be unfairly counted out by the two Democratic houses of Congress, he would live in history as a defeated can didate. All the discredit that attachod to Grant's administration was due to the politicians who were around him, and now these same men, wl'o did so much to bring discredit upon his ad ministration, are seeking to push him forward again as a candidate. It is the desire ofthe true friends ofthe General that he do not allow the use of his name again for the Presidency or any other , office." Between Two Lion.

THr tLTtrnjc labt ARRY IWTIIE " -CAPITOrU A Wovel or a Ahottt the Feaaale Of- , .Bee Bisker--teoroenttlt Vane. Special Correspondence of tbe News. W'ashinutojs, D. C, May 12th, 1870. The lonely and deserted appearance of the capitol building, for the last week, clearly indicates that even the army of female idlers and loafers who frequent the lobbies -and galleries of Congress are dosing intsrOwt in the deliberations otUhat body aad individual members. Memberaare becoming careless about their attendance; those who remain in tatflr seata out oC poll ten esa to listen to 'their colleagues cprosy i speeches, wear aa expression of -torture on their faces, .which clearly Indioafos thatthej would prefer being to. some place more oobge niai to thelji feeliug. For instance, the ladies reception, room affords a pleasant change from the hajl of bad, v.euUlbttiou and -boring. speecTies, where a large number of the members can be usually found, among the gay, beautiful and fascinating women, both young and old, ' who are constant frequenters of this de-' lightful quarter of die capitol.. It is a grand sight to the uninitiated to witness the scene in tliis room on a busy day. The fun usually commences about noon, or as soon as the doors excluding per sons from the floor of the House are closed and members are getting ready to attend to the nation's business. By the time they get fully to work THE FUMALHS HAVK ARRIVED in force and taken possession - of the South lobby and reception room, and commence sending in cards for mem bers. When the statesmen approach the door they find almost impossible to got through the vast crowd of fashionable dressed females clothed in silk, mohair and cashmere. To add to their person al charms, the millinery stores in search of fine head -gear, has been ransacked. and as a general thing a thick coat of bloom ol youth covers the fae. The females who make up this pleasant congressional circle may be classified about as follows: The female lobbiest. who is paid by some big corioration, is a daily attendant. The female office- seeker. The FEMALE OFFICE BROKER is one who gets persons into office,- and then live on a portion of the salary every mouth. Woiueu who keep first class boarding houses; women who have elegantly furnished rooms aud and would like to have one or two agreeable Congressmen to occupy their quarters, where they cau have all the comforts of home, help to grace this room with winning smiles; women who want to get Congressional influ ence to have their brothers or sons put on the floor as pages; women who want to travel and wish to get a letter to the chief ring-master of the Huntington or Tom Scott railroad combinations; women who want orders from member for flowers at the Botanical Garden, or books lrom the Congressional librar', many of which are never returned; women who want orders on the sta- tionry room for. fancy note and per fumed paper, scissors, visiting cards. hair oil and night-blooming cereua.J he worst of all (a be named is that class who are watching an opportunity to blackmail members and extort a month or two's salary which has . but recently been done, and those who deal in scaudle aud teddle out the gan grenous spots of men's character, who seek to induce Christian members to stray from the geod old paths of virtue and sobriety. Asa general thing but few "Josephs of eld tituo or George Washiugtous ever get into Congrew. The above is about the occupation of this vast number of female w ho are the daily visitors who occupy so much ofthe members precious time in trm la dies reception room ofthe capitol. Thin is one great drawback to needful legis lation. KEPRESKXTATIYfK VANCE, OF XOKTH CAROLINA, ,. delivered a splendid speech in the House last week. It was like everv- thing that Vance undertakes, he did it well. ins. arguments were solid and logical; his views were brood and lib eral, taking in the present situation of the country; showing, aa he did, that class legislation for the rich and noth ing for Uie poor was a dangerous move for any political party to persue. In re plying to Garfield s speech, in a pass ing way, he struck the Buckeye states man below the water line. He showed that the stalwart from Ohio was in favor of starving the nation bylnlmioal legis lation, by making the pjor poorer, and adding to the cotters of the rich. Vance is one of the hardest workers in Congress; be is always toiling either in or out of the Halls of Congress, for the good of his people. No truer or better man ever represented a brave and chiv alrous constituency than Robert B. Vance, of North Carolina. Ue is noted for his kindness, honesty and true sin cerity of purpose. His efficient and im partial dealing with all parties, as chair man of the Pateut Committee, for the past four years, has endeared him to the hearts of the incentive and scien tific portion of the people of the United States. , BEN.

His voice was. raised to its highest key, which went echoing through the Senate chamber like a small steam-whfstle, piercing every hole and crevice within the walls ofthe chamber.
