AMATIU ENTERTAINMENT. rrMar Uveal BmmIm a. The Amateurs will give a rendition of Catherine Howard next Friday evening. We confidently expect this to be ono or the best entertainments ever given by them. They have been carefully rehearsing tho play, and they have spared no effort or expense to havo the accessories just what they ought to be. Largo additions have been made to the scenery expressly fur this play, and magnificent cos tumes from St. Louis have boon hired for the ocoaslon, whleh represent fully the court fashions of England three hundred years ago.

Editor lltrald: Like yourselves, doubtless, I am experiencing pro fouad suspense and anxious solicitude concerning the presidential situation. Some evil disposed Radical leaders will leave no means untried to defeat the will of the people at expressed at tbe polls, showing a change since 1872, of more than a million votes I Grant got about 700,000 majority ; now Til don has nearly 400.000. This verdlet ought to make the administration tremble like the hand. writing on the wall. We are in the midst of a real crisis. I can recall none auch in bis tory. The time between this and the 4lh of March Is pregnant with mighty evonts of good or ovll. The respon sibilities of this epoch may not bo comprehended in their full inagnl tudo. They Invoko all tho wisdom that has come down through the sounding ages or human government and divine Inspiration. rasslou,now, may ruin the best hopes for genera tlous to come. Truth may again be forcod to veil hor charms; returning justice may hide her scales; the sword may leap from Its scabbard ; the fires of revolution may be rekindled; lib erty may be Imprisoned ; famine may plaguo the land all leaving wldo sproad ruin as a herltago to our pos terity. Tho duty of true cltizonshlp requires no submission to permanent wrong, but it domauds that every proper means should bo tried to avert auch calamities. I pray that the so ber thought of the pooplo will vindi cate the right, preserve tho peace and secure justice The manhood of the country should spurn any degrading adjustment; It cannot afford to take a step backwards, Tho result should bo In keeping with the dignity aud as plratioiis of freemen. I have seen but few papers of late, but I cannot bellovo that tho flagrant abuses of power in the late elections will escape tho condemnation of the more patriotic aud prudont men of tho North. Tho discontents previ ously engendered among those peo plo by maladministration havo been quietly but ominously heightened by this climax ol military encroachments on the reserved rights of tbe states. Tho thinking meu of all parties and sections roollzo that the blow given to tho contested states wounds tho self-government of all. If the worst comes to the worst, aud tho Radical leadors should persist in tho attempt to secure the succession by foul means, I would, as a last rosorl, were I Samuel J. Tllden, march at the head or tho Reform legion of Now York to tho capital, and demand, In tho name ot tho ballot box, in the namo of popular government and con stltutlonal liberty aud peace, that justico, bo done" aud call ou tho peo ple to support it by open meetings aud public expression. Bold, judi cious action may check usurpation on the one hand and prevent revolu tion on the other. The elements of a mixed conflict aro astir In tho under current of thegoueral industrial sit uation. The fanners compelled to retrench their expon.es, tho mechan ics to stint their families, and thou sands of laborers to beg or starve, they witness with Indignation the niHguificaut profusion of tho capital, tho degradation of the public service, and aro convinced that the gains which should have been mostly theirs have gouo to tho favorites of a cor rupt and dcpotlc chief magistrate into the pockets of rlugsters aud troasury plunderers. It Is well that these sentiments have obtained out. side of the ex-Coufederacy. To that people the situation Is peculiar. Un successful war and alien domination havo not so much tamed tbo spirit of Iho southern peoplo as their good faith and acceptance of reunion has In flueuccd forboarance.Jwhlch may cease lo bo a virtue. Under all the circum stances they must needs bo calm and1 self possessed. Even with them, aftor cloven years of unprecedented trials and magnanimous submission, at times hunted down liko criminals, Imprisoned by thousands, abandoned: to the meroy of tavaie'nearoea. tha boldness of final disoatr mav teach their oppressors how to pause. Their rignteoua indignation must bo now in a volcanic atate. They were nrom. Ised bread and have been starved. Woe after woe hat been Inflicted unon them. Thero it no parallel to the Intelligent patience, heroic solf-doulal and sublime fortltudo of those people since the war. But ther are human. and the tocsin of war once sounded In the north they will rally at one man for their household rods. An erun lion will follow spreading the red-hot lava or ood't retribution over the land of their foes I Great manage ment it requlrod to restrain an out burst from all these sources of flood aud storm. Some Neptuno must be at tho helm, tome Jupiter must com mand. Are Hendricks and Tlldou equal to the task ? Will they savo tho ship? I do hope it! Theup'sand down's of the Cavaliers aud Round heads, thu Catholics, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and Puritans, preced ing tho Restoration, ought to bo a solomu warning to our countrymen now. We cau have it In our power In the not remote futuro to assume the leadership among tho nations on tho high-road to universal emancipa tion aud to that highest civilization forecast In the scriptures : "Peace on earth and good will anionic men." We should work for the best and pre pare tor the worst. C. M. B. Tburmomd. ITUART.
