three of tba New York directors. J. W,
Thompson wat elected president, John

that the aflaira of the company hare been
managed with prudence) and energy. A

folly exonerates Mr . Corode. Tbe Utter
refused to make the appointment (though
for the son of a friend) until the applicant
should have acquired a residence la his
(Corodt's) district, Tbe witness further
testified that Covodo had no knowledge of

doubt that If Mr. O. bad-learned the fact be
would have withdrawn the appointment.

portant testimony It appears that at soon
at tt came to the knowledge of the War Do
partment that membere of Congress had ap
pointed cadets who were non-residents of
thel districts, tbe opinions of the Jndge
Advocate ueneral and of tbe Attorney Gen
eral were obtained upon tbe legality of such
appoint ntenli. The decision of both these
law cflleert was that a minor cannot gain a
residence apart from the residence of hit
parents or guardians, sud. that tbt appoint
mentafacadst whohad lived a few days,
weeks or months la a district for the pur
pose of being appointed from such district
It clearly Illegal. Oenerat Bchrlver reported
to the Becretary of War that all such ap
pointments heretofore made having been
thus decided to be contrary to law tbe cadets
la bis opinion, were no longer entitled to
iinihtr tUeea at the Academr. The
then Secretary of War, General Hawllot,
decldtd, nowever, not looismiaa me cm eta
thus Illegally appointed, holding that" the
blame rested not with them, but with tbe
membere of Congress Appointing them, who
eer tilled that they were duly qualified under
the law. A new form of nomination waa
then prepared by the War Department, to
bo signed by membere of Congress, making
dcalguAtlous, In which the following occurs i
' lie haa been an actual bona fiJt resident
of tha district for yeara and months,
and la believed by me, upon due Inquiry, to
be qualified for appointment la tjtrf re
spect, The form of acceptance by tbe
cadet wat at the time modified so aa to In
elude a certificate of tbe time of hUresi
dence in the district from whlsh appoint ad.
These oew regulations are applicable to the
class to be appointed this year.

tbla theatre to-night, opening In her specially
of "Lady Audley't BccreL" 8 ha will t
supported by Mr. J. C. UcColInm, who la
known hero at a careful and patot-Uklng
actor. Also, It la laid tbat an efficient stock

bat he-etofora been Tcry stcccisfal In this
city, and wo tee do reason why the tbould
not be equally to now,
Wall'i Opsba HouiB. The Chapman
Slaters, with the Infant Bishop, commence a
series of performances at Wall's to-night
They open la the burlesque entitled "The
Forty Thieves, or Striking Oil la Jam," and
the performance will conclade with the
roaring farce, "Wanted 1,000 Milliners,"
with Bishop aa Madame Yanderpantt. The
Foster Brothers will execute the grotesque
quadrilles which a short lime ago caused to
much merriment by the Clodocbe troupe,
Mr. Wm. Withers, well known aa a muatcUn
or acknowledged ability, wUl lead the or
chestra, and good music may be expected.
Those wbo deslro to spvnd a pleasant eve
ning should certainly look In upon the little
ladles who are spoken of above.
Lircolx Hall, It Is unnecessary to call
attention to tbe Oratorio of tbe Menlah,
which will be given to-night at Lincoln nail
by the Fhllharmonto'Soclety. A quartette
from the English Opera Troupe, composed
of Madame rare pa-Rosa, Mrs. Beguln,
Messy, Nordhotm and Iawrenee hat been
engaged, and it may be aafely asserted that
the aolot will be given In a manner which
haa seldom been surpassed. The chorus
will number one hundred voices, and the
long practice had daring the past winter
haa fitted the members to effectually render
the grand choruses of thts Oratorio. An
orchestra of thirty pieces haa been aecured,
comprising the best musicians of the District
and Baltimore. Tba entire entertain me tit
will be under tbe control of Dr. J. P. Caul
field, the efficient leader of the Philharmonic
Soslcty. We understand that nearly all the
seats hare already been secured, and It be
hooves those who have neglected to obtain
tickets to lose no time In to doing.

Alexandria aad Vfelalt,
From the AlexandrU Oautttot Saturday
we clip the following news Items t
The rrrular monthly meetlnr of tbe Fair
fax Vigilance Society wat held on the 3d
Inst. The reports of the officers abow the
society to be In a prosperous and flourishing
condition, and IU salutary influence U shown
by tbe gratifying fact, that no member of
me society oaa aanerea ioei or property oy
tblevlnr depredators stoce the organisation
of tbe society, two yeara ago. Officers were
elected to aerve the ensuing three months aa

Mr. Daly, the sexton, says he will hereafter
enforce.
A sryxeb rough aud tumble fight occurred
late yesterday evening between two young
men on King street, between Fayette and
Payne, during which one of tbe parties waa
badly hurt.
Tub market this morning was tolerably
supplied, Tbe butchers had good meats,
but tbe price of beef (best pieces 25 cents per
pound) la ahead of the capabilities of house
keepers generally. Mutton and veal, 19 to
90 cents per pound. Butter, fresh, 43 to CO
cents perpound. Eggs, 93 to 30 cents per
dosen. vegetables scarce, bnt without
change In prices. Poultry scarce and high.
Tbe fish benches were tolerably supplied
with pike, perch, Ac, at from 30 to 50 oenta
per bunch.
Tna City Council expended for the poor
of the city daring tbe fiscal year coding
March 1, 1570, 16,303 00, of which amount
$871 07 waa for medicines. In tbe tcat end
ing MArch l,i8CD,tbe medicines for the poor
cost only B173.
Wa lbabb from the bead of the Caoadlaa
Ministry that It Is not the Intention of tbe
Dominion authorities to Issue aoy license to
American fishermen daring the ensuing sea
son and, further, that it la Intended lo lake
slepa "to protect tbe rights of Canadian
fishermen In CanadUn waters." The decl-
clalon may lead to aerlous consequences,
Tbe Interpretation of treaty stipulations by
wuicu Americana avrecscioaca irota memoes
valuable fisheries, la too absurd and offen
sive to be acquiesced In Quietly. If rigidly
enforced now It will probably lead to trouble.
Tbe colonial pretention will la some In
stances be disregarded, and an attempt to
enforce It will provoke collisions. Oar neigh
bors should move cautiously la tbe matter.
Tbe fishery question Is full of explosive ma
terials, and the merest accident may produce

Tbe Decline let .atd.
On Friday last the Gold Room la New York
waa la a condition of excitement only tor'
passed by the great September frensy.
The cause of all this excitement waa a
tumble la gold, occasioned by the announce
meal from the statistical bureau at Wash
ington that the da! An co of trAde against tha
United Butea for the last six months was
but a little over $2,000,000, and which was
followed by the sUtement tbat Mrrltaut
well wontd Interfere lo prevent a farther de
cline, and this, again, by a contradiction of
the Utter statement. Gold fell on the first
announcement to IH and went up again
to lit;; later In the day, bnt fell off a trifle
on Saturday.
Tbe rapid decline which hat taken place
within a abort time haa led financial men to
look forward to a resumption of spede pay
menu aa an event net far distant, ladetd,
In many cttlss amall dealers have already
commenced paying in specie, but this Is
looked upon as, B abrdwd advertising dodge.
It Is, howevr, whispered In Wall street that
the Chemical Bank la about to resume, axd
other banks are getting their affairs In a
condition o be ready to meet the emergency
should one or two lead off.
There teem to he a general feeling
throughout the country that wo are nearer
a rernrnptloaof specie payment than even
the present premium on gold would lndl
cite, and this feeling In Itself may do much
to lead to tuch a result,
Tha causes assigned for. the rapid decline
la gold are a confidence In the administra
tion of General Grant abroad, which haa
created a Large demaod for American secur
ities, and tbe large crops of cotton aad
breadstuffs, whloh awetl our exports aod re
lieve the country of any drain of tbe pre
clous mi tela.
It Is telegraphed from New York that
"the near approach of gold to par causes a
disinclination on the part of aome members
of the gold room to pay their d ues. Several
expulsions from the gold room are talked
of."
This may be considered as a straw lndl
eitlsg the direction of tbe current.
The rapid fall will no doubt cause finan
cial embarrassment, and perhapa lead to tbo
suspension of a number of houses holding
gooda Imported al higher figures, built haa
reached to low a figure now It it thought by
many that the country would be as well off,

fore Congress which ask that certain ex-
coorearaiee auau nave alt political disabili

both Improper and objectionable. If oae j

to Its Place In the Union mar consist not
alone In certain partial enactments, but In
such general legislation as aball convince the
Southern people tbat tbe era of good feeling

and not by aliens of the North whose Ideas

of sending " carpet-baggers " to Congress
has not thus far been successful i It it only
E roper that a RepresenUUre should be what
la title Implies, aud not exactly the reverse
of tbat.
Up to tho close of the rebellion the Im
mense coramercUl. agricultural, mlnlnir.
and man u fat luring possibilities of the South
were aimoei unxnown ana euogciner unap
preciated. But since, by the mischance of

compelled to develop their natural resources.
It haa been ascertained that the wealth of
tbetr country la almost Inestimable. To
properlydevelop It they mast bavo not only
fall political rlghU and aclf-cboaen repre
sentatives, but tbey must be assisted by
Northern caplul and labor. There must be
esUbllsbed between tbe two lately confllct
lnr sections a nnltr of fraternal fcellnir. as
there Is of material Interests. The Issues
over which the battle was fought hare dis
appeared, and the vlctorr was so conclusive
and thorough tbat the North can best afford
toelvetoiu late enemy tne most eenercras
concessions. We, therefore, hope that Mr,
Bare hard's bill may pass, rMiaJtlp'tla In
