Eur Andy Johnsow.?The most interesting
and the most handsomely conducted local fight
in all our reccnt elections was that iu Ten
vtetNtee for Congressman at Large between
Maynard, republican; Cheatham, regular
dettocrat, and ex-President Andy Johnson,
Independent democrat and expounder and
defender of the constitution. The official vote
of the State for Presidout is?for Groeley,
01,219; for Grant, 85,033; Greeley's major
ity, 8, 580. But while Maynard for Congress
man at Large got all the 0 rant vote, the Gree
ley vote was divided between Cheatham and
Johnson, so that Maynard beats Cheatham by
15,000 and Johnson by over 12,000. Thus
Johnson, we regret to say, between the two
great parties, falls to the ground; but still,
aud before long, we expect to hear his clarion
, voice again in defence of the constitution.

MB. GREELEY'S ILLNESS.
The Cruel Reports Concerning His
Alleged Inutnity?IVervouM Depression
the Cause of His 111 Health?A. Remlnis
cence of the Ball Ran Day*.
Vague rumors have been circulated for the past
two weeks to the effect that Mr. Greeley had become ;
insane. The loss or the election, the death of his
wife, and the taunts and abuse of partisan news
papers were credited as the cause of his aberration.
The rumors became so general that a two-cent daily
yesterday heartlessly intimated that Mr. Greeley was
not only Insane, but violent in his insanity, and
that he had been confined in an asylum at White
Plains in consequence, having first been refused
admission to Bloomiugdalc on account of the
strictures of the Tribune upon the management or
that institution. These rejiorts have produced
Such solicitude on the part or Mr. Greeley's friends
that a reporter or the Hkrai.ii was yesterday sent
to lavestigate the facts in regard to them. He
called upon
MR. ALTON .1. .JOHVSOV,
who has been for ten years a close friend of Mr.
Oreele.v, whose house Mr. Greeley has made his
home during his stay In the city, and under whose
roof Mrs. Greeley was tended and cared for in her
last illness. Mr. Johnson had not seen the pub
lished statement relative to the alleged insanity,
but he had been accosted by friends on the subject
and knew that the report was abroad.
"Mr. Greeley," said he, "is undoubtedly suffer
ing from
PK08THATI0N OF THK NBRTOU8 SYSTEM.
Mts wife was ill lor three weeks in my house,
.and daring the last two weeks of that time I
know that Mr. Greeley had not u single night's rest,
lie was ?t?ont her bedside continually, and caught
sleep only in naps and nods. This in itself was
enoagh to overthrow and disorganize his nervous
system, and when the election came, with its over
whelming disaster, the blow was severe enough to
t>end him. though it is far from breaking him."

"Then what can be the basis for this report of
insanity r?
"His illness and the feais <>f his phrsiclan, tio
doubt."
"What iioej liis physician fear "
"1 don't believe he fears anything now. The
worst is over. Time and quiet have done their
work, and the doctor thluks he is over the danger

tained by t tie physician at ope time, but that leor
is ovei now. A similar stroke befell him

"Von remember the 'On to Richmond' cry, that
the country chose to believe was the cause or the
advance or our army before It was ready to ad
vance. When the Hull Run defeat occurred, the
reaction that look place fell with a heavy weight
upoa the TriOiwe atul produced a terrible depres
sion upon Mr. Greeley. The cry arose, day after
di?y, that he was responsible for the defeat and the
Cvuwquettt death of so unity o[ vur sMivrs, ?nd U
wore npon htm terribly. Hp wm slA then for two
weeks, and hi* doctors feared that he ought ito

will oat ot this."
"And you say lie is not coullued to his bed t"
'?No, uot ai all. Uc was at my house until Thurs
day afternoon, and to a casual observer appeared
as hale and heart.v as he ever was, but the nervous
depression was visible to ine and to his friends, lie
went up the country on Thursday afternoon. I saw
a gentleman yesterday who saw litm on Saturday
and he says that Sir. Greeley was
AtTIVK A NO OBKKKKCL,
busy as usual and gradually recovering. I re
cclved a letter from tifm to-day, aud there's
nothing iu it that would indicate auy uberratiou of
mind." *
"Ihe published report this morning slated mat
he had been so violent at your house that three
meu were required to hold him."
"There's not a word of truth in it. n? was ua
usually quiet, aud that's why I mostly distrusted
his health."
"liumor also goes that he is confined or to be con
fined in an iusane asylum at White Plains."
"Well, it's a cruel report, and utterly false."
"Well, I'll bid you good day, Mr. Johnsou."
"Good day. 1 ant sorry that such rumors should
gain currency, but as tlie,\ have, 1 feel it is my duty
to put a stop to thciu so far as It is possible lor me
to do so."
V\ ith this explanation of Mr. Greeley's illness, it is
to bo hoped the cruel rumors will lose their point,
and that their prevalence has not already aggra
vated the llineas of the philosopher. White it has
been decided by the country that, he is uot the
choice for President, the co'intry is Unwilling to
do without his braiu and heart, and, defeated and
dejected as he is, he is yet dear to the whole people
as a philosopher and philanthropist.

which is nowadays no seldom ftn. " 00 0I" lHUn'''*
was brought out last evening tor IIk* flMt time ,n
many yearn, Mhs KenoR? appearing *n 1,10 l"le
riWe. The rest of the cam was as Pie"
rotto, Senorita Saua; t'arlo, Signor Y'izzani; x.n,?"
nlo, Signor Moriauii; Manhose, signor Kom'om,'
I'refctto, Signor Reiiia. The performance was- In
many degrees smoother tw an ennrmWe than the
majority of its predecessors, in such music Mis-i
Kellogg seems to Ite entirely at home and appears
to the best advantage. Iier first aria, "O Luce dl
Quest Anlma," the joyous outburst of a young
heart, was given with an effect that brought ,i
really enthusiastic encore, aud she was cal'ed be
lore the curtain at the end of the mud scene b.v an
expression of more real warmth than wiiai
an artist generally timls iu an Academy
audience. There were some notable excellences lit
other parts of the opera, especially In the duet
with Pierotto, "All I llel Dlstin." and it* the duet at
the begiuning of the second act with the Marquis
M-norita Sauz had a favorable opportunity <>t' dis
playing the sympathetic qualities of her contralto
voice, and she availed herselt of I he occasion. The
tenor gave more satisfaction than usual, and sang
his tlrst romance couimendably. Moriauii was also
in good voice, but in the scene where Antonio de
nounces his daughter he overacted It to such an
extent that he nnllitlcd the cfl'ect of the situation.
It i.s a pity that this opera, so intimately associated
with the names 01 I'ersianl, Jonny l.ind, Labordc,
l a Orange, (iaz/.aniga. Patti and Di Murska should
not be heard here more frequently. It is written
iu Donizetti's happiest vein, and sparkles iront be
ginning to end with delightful melodies. The story
is an interesting one, too, corresponding with one
of Miss .Maggie Mitchell's favorite characters, on
Wednesday erentug Madame l'aullne Lucca will
sing the ro/c of Leonora iu "La Kavorita" for the
lust time. Iler interpretation of the lift sceuo In
this opera is one to be remembered for a lifetime.
Th?? Nrw "Folly" *1 thr Operi*
HoiiMi
The production or "Hound Hie Clock" at th*
(irunU opera House last night was a success, ho far
as the number of the audience wan concerned, and
the reception aooorded to the piece was such a-? to
insure it a triumph also, in the ordinary meaning
of success. The word "folly" describes (he cha
racter of the piece better than the method adopted
by some people In paintlug a play which has uo
recognized place in the drama; which is to speak
of It as tot a comedy, nor a iarce, nor a drauia, nor
a tragedy, out a combluatlou of all, with tlie
requisites of none, and then coldly to damn it by .
observing that it is in four acta aud iu prose. 1 tits ,
method would give little Idea of what "llouud the ,
(flock" really Is, while the single word "folly" Is a
full description ol its Intent and purpose. The aim or
the piece is nut so much to Illustrate the danger- and
temptations of metropolitan life as to show what is
the thing that we are apt to call "lite'' in this cltj.
In this way it becomes a picture of the "institu
tions" of which good people hear, but which they
never see. Nothing of the kind has been attempt! it
since the production of "Tom and Jerry" halt a
century ago, which old playgoers will remember us
illustrative of all the noted places lit London when :
George IV. was Itegent and the leader in evei,\ j
frivolity. At that lime New York was not yet
a city in the s.'nse In which London and Paris ,
arc cities; and as the town rushed to see the town j
in London, so New York went to see the wonders ,
ol which we had only heard, "llound the Clock j
docs for this city what the dramatized version of j
Pierce Fgan's novels did tor London, aud the town i
seems once more determined upon seeing the town, j
The French play upon which this piece is found-d j
is little more than a foundation for the Incidents j
and adventures with which It abounds. We have
alreadv Indicated the thread of the story, which is
nothing more than a test in twelve hours ol who
shall have a fortune, which can only be obtained
by au unmarried person who was never engaged
and never in love, male relatives being pre- j
forred to females. The play opens with ,
the gathering of the relatives, most ot j
whom are disgusted with the content* of th^wiU, i
and the property Is about to mli'ulged to .n . sta
llardcastle (Miss Kmma Howson) when Joey I ill -
burn (Miss Kiln Delta), (he unsophisticated heir,
appears and claims the money. 'I he fortunes ? ,,
adventures of these two young people form t o
staple of the pioce, and while they are seeing Hit
town many strange places and slninge
exhibited. Broadway and Iwenty-thmt street, ,
Donovan's alley, in tlie l^ive Points, Muidoieis
l!ow and Harry Hill's, Lion Park, behind the seciies
at Nlblo's, and one or two other P'aies ol local
interest or repute, all enter Into the play.
one or the most startling situations Is the
mcue at the Lion l'ark hardens, In the
tirst act. but, as a whole, this act rails far below
aomc ol the other pictures in the piece. The acting
in this acl uh ih upt to l>e tlie disc on tirst nil?him, i
was imt HUttlcicntly toned down to meet the 1
ota New York audience. The Players, used to j
French burlesque, gave Us exti
lent in themselves, too much the charactor of
om'ra hmiQc acting. and consequently ?uuceeilra
ZlvSiieariratiirlng a caricature. In other parts .
oi t iie performance the ?*anie objection iiotkc^ I
ab ra nd ma red It both as an artistic represent^ j
lion and as a local picture Yet t was apparent |
from the area! oxecllcnce of the ? ?
which shows the "Black Crook J"'"/* |
Crosby street, side or Nlblo's that the whole may
be rounded and perfected so as to become excellent i
throughout. The scene Is novel in idep aud unique
in execution. It gives a much clearer notion of
how a piece Is managed than the scene In ' Agnes, ,
where something of the same kind Is attempted, .
andsatis?esthe desire which Is lelt in Sardou s |
plav lo see the audience ol which the special m i
hears ho much In the dressing room of the premiere
it ia half inclined to accept as the one
which paid tor orchestra stalls and parlor chairs,
or the acting little need be said. Mr. John
Krouirham as Killuobbln failed to do himseir jus
tice aud Mrs. John Wood as Juliana Tartar can do
better than in last night's performance. Lo'h
these artists will improve as the piece mellows
mid the others learn to appreciate more fully the
equabilities of their parts, which, In one or two i
characters at least, were exactly fitted to the act
ors, instead ol the actors fitting thcmBelves to the
parts. This is notably the case with Miss fclia
bleu who has only to be herself to
id.,v ' joev Lillyburn well. The same re- I
mark aiinlies In some degree to Mr.
Ketchum as lAwyer Oaddlgett, a part allien
he makes too exuberant even lor a subject for the
Bar Association. New York lawyers are wonderful
enough, b.it Mr. Ketchum's Oaddigott is a little
loo wonderful. Hut we cannot go Into details of
the acting ou a ftrst night, especially as the acting,
as well as the niece, must mellow before it can be
flUvandin ell gently criticised. It Is onlv neces
sary to add that the lovers rush into each other s
arms, and so make way for the grandl?
which we are presented with a view or 4if.
