The announcement oomes from China that

?oght to mean that the French have captund
the city ; but if that were the faet, the dUpatch

Kew-York has ao many theatres already that
-whenever a new aM i? proposed tho publie
ia inclined to be iuciedulous about iUs
financial bucccss. .That i*. however, a matter
for the men who pttt up the money, and evi ry
"body certainly will be heartily glad if Mr.
lawrence Karrett's new wluiiie BBaaaada. But
does it ever suggest itself to the theatrical

?who declared that he would give no more work
to men who belonged to Socialiatic Bocieties.
The Union appointed a cotinnittee to reinon

effective, peruaps more eft'ective, to pass a reso

threatoned the pro?perity of ^orae of the
leading clubs have baaa adjusted, and the
League and the Ameriean Association have re
aumed Iriendly rilatious. We suggest to the
tnauagers of the l'olo Gronnds that, before the
eeason op'-ns, they Bhall alU-r the exits of their
grand stand so that in caso of panic or not a
Jew of the spectatora could get out alive. Loss
of lile and limb at basehall games should be
Btrictly conliued to the players.

of the imjHirtant rivera rising in that n gion,

| The death of Dr. Leopold Dararoaeh will bo
apainlulshock to the uiusic-loving publio of
Jsew-York. He had long been known a-s an
en.hiwastic and painstaking musician. Tho
Oratorio Societr and the Symphony Socicty
yoars agoshowed what he could do as an organ
izor aud conductor ; but it was only during the
preseut winter that hia work became lully ap
proc_4t4d by the publio. Thisappn-fiatiou was
due to the phenouienaJ Buccesa which ciowned
his work at the Metropolitan Opera House.
There ho won his well-dcsci ved laurel3. lt is
B aatisfaction to kj^w that Dr. Dainrosch lived
until he must bave felt that the great reputa
tion he deaired wa? firmly establishod. His
death, however, will be a aevere blow U> the

probably vote an Mr. Cleveland wiahee, and it
is imt prohable that either of them goold yet

one of thfl Boat earneat ptoteeliTc leadera, who
was afterward robbed of hia aeat hy Poino
cratie partisans. Ttms H'J membeifl of thfl m-xt
House, 70 Kcpublicana aml 19 Democrata,
roted to kill the llorriaon bill. To theea may
with coiitulei.ee he added, OB the cvidcnie
given iu the lctters puhlisheil, .r>l new I.cpubli
eausand 10 new Democrats, maki.ig 150 mi-in
bers whose position is deliuite'.y ascrtaim-il,
itither hy h-thr or by their previous votes. In
likemanner, 110 Democrata and 1 Bepablieaag
either voted for the Morrison bill, or have hy
h-tter siKiiiticd sympathy with it" uiins. There
remain 15 K.publicans, 45 Deinocrats, and 1
vacancy.
Hut it is to bc added tluit, flltboogh the posi?
tion of 00 new inenihera is yet to be detiuitcly
Baeertained, there is jrreat certainty tliat somo
of them will tirmly defeud the protective ays

Wadaworth of Kentucky, Hayden of Masaa

afiaaooii, WoodboiB of Nerada, Parqabar af
New-York, 1. 11. Taylor of Uhio, Scranton and
Hound of Pcnnsylvania, La Folhtte and Vau
Behaiek of Wisconsin ; and Mr. Gillillan of
Minnesota may lie added beciuse his letter
does not make it clear tluit he would not aet
with other memhi-rs from that Htat.i who voted
iitfainst killiiiK tho IforriflOn bill. In addition
to these, it may be observeil that amoiiK tlie
Deinocrats who are not reckoned on either sido
me Ifflflfln. Oreen aml Pideook of Kew-Jeney,
Beott of I'ennsylvanin, and the meiiibttr to be
ehoaen for tho XlXth District of that Htate,
Cok of Maryland, Croxton of Virginia, and
several others whose lelters do nol cleaily in
dicate their pf.sitions. There is no reason to
doubt Ihat at h-ast 12 of the Ilpuhlicans nained,
and aeveral of the Deinocrats, can bfl relied
upon to prevent miechicvoii-. nuddling with the
taiill.
It is to bo remembered that the Morrison bill
lacked only three votes of a eleai majority in
the House. Hut 11 DefBOOfBtfl voted Bgaiaal it,
und only 10 of Ihoflfl have been re-(th;cted.
Ul thfl BBW nieinhers, 10 Deinocrats an- knowu
lo be in sympathy with Mr. Kandall. There
would be great doubt whether thfl pioteclive
syst. in could |!)i- niaiiiUiiued, ttierelure, if it
were not for thfl fact that the Bepublieanfl have
olfOted ltO Of the IBemlBW Of the next House,
instead of only 1-0 ol the present House. The
macniioaal l.*.'ht made by that paity I.hs saved
thu iiulu.stiies of the eotuitry, in spite of tho
treachery of Free-Tiaders.
A PABTY WIIH A GUARDIAN.
This is a curious forin of self-government
which wo enjoy. Aa resjiects tlie llouso, it
?eegflfltobfl adjusted on the foilowing bggifll
the pgoplfl do the votinp, aud Mr. Kandall does
tho law-makinK. Under ordinary circuin
8(anc4's, tho majority of the nieinhers of thfl
House profess to du as they please, aml possihly
imatfino tlial Ihey really enjoy acertain measure
of ireedom and power. Hut when it coinc . to
an eineixency, what Mr. Kandall wanls the
party Ua* to do. Tho reat .look ou, whilo he
makes laws.
Thia haa becomo so notorious that a long
headed Democrat at WaflhtegtOB is ipiotod aa
aaying that Mr. Kaodall is going to CBOfgaaigfl
thu parties to suit hiinself. AccordiiiK Ui this
authority, Mr. Kandall lorusees that the free
tradu end of the party cannot succoed. "The
taiiflreformers," tiosays, u havealwaysoccupioi
? iiiogical givund. They havo beea. aa public
? and party men, afrald to state, and still rcoro
"afraid to discuas, Iheir loRical programme.
Mr. Randall is wise enough, he thiuks, to sce
that no snch sct of men ean prevall, or will ever
dare to go iuto a flght, or lo attempt tho work
of government without him.
This is uot very tlattcring to those who con
gtitute four-titths of tho Democratio party in
the House. But it is _ub.stantiall.y trim, never
IhalaaB, that tlie party as ft wholo does not
dare to nttetnpt legislution or government
withrtut Mr. Kandall a beneticeiit supcrviaion.
It puts itsclf into position to draw pay. and
