Gfrardey’s Opera House—Rip Van Win kle To-Night. Girahdey’s Opera House.—Tradition hath it, we believe, that Shakspeare wrote the Merry Wives of Windsor at the express command of Queen Elizabeth. So much was Queen Bess delighted with the charac ter of FalstafF, in Henry IV, that she com manded the great dramatist to repeat him in another play, which should represent him as a “ devil of a fellow with the ladies.” Obedient to this high behest, Shakspeare produced the play which has, in this epoch, become inseparably associated with the genius of Mr. Hackett. The veteran ac tor, if possible, surpassed himself last eve ning, and kept the immense audience in a constant thrill of delight and merriment. His plunge into the buck-basket was lite rally prodigious and fairly convulsed the house. Mr. O’Neil, who is always pains taking and thorough, won new laurels in h's ren dition of Mr. Ford. Mr. Harry Wood, as Mr. Page, deserves equal commendation. The characters of Dr. Caius, Sir Hugh Evaus and Slender, by Messrs. Fannin, Parker and Ryan were well sustained, and contributed greatly to the success of the play. Miss La Fond, as Simple, had to perform a very different character from the wife of Hotspur, but she was, as ever, correct, gushing and natural. Pretty Miss Lillie Eldrldge, as Mrs. Ford, was received with great favor, and acquit ted herself, as she always does, with dis tinguished credit. Miss Lizzie Herbert, as Mrs. Page, seconded Miss Eldridge with becoming spirit. Miss Laura Alexander looked charming ly, aud was indeed a “ sweet Anne Page.” Mrs. Eldridge, as Dame Quickly, was the embodiment of a “ strong-minded female,” and pretty plainly demonstrated that if Dr. Caius was a humbug she was “ nothing of the sort.” The play was a great success, the audi ence was a noble one. Everybody ought to be satisfied. Rip Van Winkle is announced for this evening, and, of course, there will be a rush to sec it. Death of Judge Boozer—Hon. Lem uel Boozer, ol Lexington district, S. 0.. Judge of the Fifth Circuit of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions of South Carolina, died in Camden on Sunday evening last, where he had gone in the dis charge of hi« judicial duties. Judge Boozer was a native South Carolinian, having been born in Lexington district, in 1808, and, previous to the war, for several terms rep resented the people of Lexington in the General Assembly, first as a member of the House of Representatives, and then in the Senate of the State. His political affilia tions, since the war, have been with the Republican party, having been elected Lieutenant Governor, «c offiio President of the Senate, by that party, in 1868. Pen Lucy Schooi..— Special attention of parents and guardians is directed to the notification, in another column, that the seeoud half session of this school for boys, located at Wavcrly, near Baltimore, Md. f will begin on the sth of February. The reputation and scholarly attainments of the principal, Mr. R. M. Johnston, are widely 'known and appreciated in this section, and ihis success as an educator of youth univer sally conceded. The Fee Lucy School is nt»w in successful operation, and is entitled to t£e fullest confidence of those having children or wards' to educate. No boys who have £ecn in any college will be re ceived. Change of Bi.ue Ridge Railroad Route.— The Keowee Courier, published at Walhalla, S. C., says it is now well under stood that a better route can be found for the road than the old one. The new route commences near the depot, at this place, and intersects with the original line eighteen miles west of this point. By this arrange ment, the Stumphouse tunnels and the two intermediate ones can be avoided. Two miles in distance can be saved by the change, and the cost of the new route over the completion of the old one is about the same. Locally the proposed change of ii-oate will throw the track in or near town and with a change of depot. Savannah and Charleston Railroad —We understand, says the Savannah Be publica n , that this road is completed and ready for the cars, with the exception of about 6,000 feet of trestle work on this side of the Savannah river, which it will be im possible to construct in the present condi tion of the river; but the work will be done in a few days after that stream shall have resumed its normal proportions. A Shoe Thief.— Handy Bolton (colored) was before Justice Ells, yesterday morning, charged with the larceny of a pair of shoes from the store of H. Baum. After investi gation, it was developed that the accused was rather too Tumdji ip the disposition of merchandize belonging to other people, and he was consequently allowed to Mi on the public works for six months. Board of City Assessors.— The Board of City Assessors, appointed by the City Council, met yesterday morning and were sworn In, after which the Board adjourned to meet at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Their labors in adjusting the books and affixing *he valuation of property will, we under stand, require several segpions to perfect tthe duty assigned them. Got His Dander Up.—A friend (an old citizen) relates to us a conversation he had with a bitter Radical, one who formerly enjoyed the respect and the confidence of his fellow-citizens. Says our friend to him, *' How in the name of common sense could you ally yourself to these enemies of our people?” He replied that he hardly knew how it was himself; that he did not do so willingly, but after he joined the party he was so bitterly denounced that his “ dander riz,” and, right or wrong, he intended to win if he could. A lame ex cuse. The truth is, he has a malignant heart, and fiendish deeds and savage gloat ings over the misfortunes of a people who, in former years, built him up from poverty and obscurity, are his delight. A. T. Gray.— lt will be seen, by an ad vertisement in this day’s paper, that Mr. Gray, nothing daunted by a lull in the business season, has commenced anew campaign in the clothing line. Mr. Gray has a very large and well assorted stock of the finest ready-made articles of wear ing apparel. Indeed, he pays personal attention to the selection of goods, and never offers to the public anything but the very best that can be procured. At the same time, his prices are moderate and within the reach of all. With Mr. Gray is Mr. Frank Simmons, who is always on hand to make of customers illustrations of the “ glass of fashion and the moold of form.” Foundling. —On last Sunday morning some unknown person deposited an infant, apparently about two mouths old, In the portico of the Augusta Orphan Asylum, trusting its care to the benevolence of that institution. The Asylum is not designed as a depository for foundlings, but as a home for orphans, and in order to lead to the detec tion of the individual who has thus sad dled upon the institution the care of this little waif, Capt. Thomas H. Holleyman, Superintendent, offers SIOO reward for proof to conviction against the person so offending. River News.—The river, under the In fluence of the continuous .rain on Monday, has marked another rise of feet since 3 o’clock Monday afternoon—registering 17 feet at the toll bridge yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock, when it seemed to be about on a stand. The weather was settled, bright and clear, yesterday, indicating another respite from a freshet. The steamers San Antonio and Katie de parted yesterday morning. No arrivals. A Colored Runaway.—A dispatch was received by the Chief of Police, yesterday afternoon, from John Barnett (colored), at Kingsville, S. C., requesting the arrest of his son, Jesse Barnett, a youth of sixteen .years, who had run away, to come to Geor gia, and who was expected to arrive on the 5 o’clock, p. m., train. Even the young negroes seem to be tiring of Radical rule. Widening His Domain.—Gen. Terry has, by General Orders No. 7, issued at Atlanta, on Monday, so extended General Orders No. 1, creating a sub-district, as to bring under military espionage the counties of Oglethorpe and Elbert. What the Ogle thorpians and Elbertonians have done to merit this dram-head panacea does not ap pear. A Dray Collides with a Lamp Post.— Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, a blind colored drayman (we suppose he was blind, Itecause of his manner of driving) wheeled his cotton cart directly against the lamp post standing iu the centre of Jackson and Telfair streets, and shivered the lamp. Cause of the Murder.—A Nashville dis patch, of the 21st, states that information had been received there from North Ala bama, which states that the murderers of Granville and William Pillow publicly an nounced their crime, some days ago, and left the country. Family troubles seem to have been the cause of the murder. Recorder’s Court—Milledge Blain (colored) was arraigned yesterday morn ing, for violation of the 18th section. Plead guilty, aud slued $3 and cost, or six days on the chain gang. Jerry Shehan (colored) was arraigned on same charge. Case examined aud dismiss ed. TnEODORE C. Cone. —ln the Washing ton correspondence of the Savannah Neies, under date of the 18th Inst., mention is made of the arrival in Washington of The odore C. Cone, formerly of tnis city, and now an. eminent member of the New York Bar. Money in Charleston. —The Courier says money is reported easy iu New York and elsewhere; everywhere but iu Charles ton. Loans on the street last Saturday were made at one per cent, a month on approved collaterals, but the (banks are charging one and a half per cent, a month. Death of "a United States Officer.— Major George Burroughs, of the engineer corps of the United States army, but at tached to the oth Light House District, with headquarters at Charleston, died on Satur day night. Sale for Dealers.— Messrs. Day & Dick will have an attractive auction sale this morniug, designed especially for deal ers, at which great bargain? may be ex pected. ■mi ■ —™ Commodore .Josiah Tatnall has been elect ed Port Inspector of Savannah, an office recently created by the City Council. A DRAWING-ROOM CHAT. —file follow lug conversation took place in the dnwing room of a mansion on Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn one pleasant forenoon about ten days ago.— (Two ladies, Mrs. Morgnn and Mrs. Knight, bad just dropped in for a morning’s call on, Mrs. Rapelje, U}u lady of the house.) Mrs. M.—My dear Mrs- JJapelje, are yon sick ? Yon look quite delicate, Mrs. R.—No; not sick, exactly; but suffering from debility, and dreadfully nervous. Do yon know, I could cry this minute. Mrs. K.—Too much excitement, I’m afraid. Mrs. R.— Perhaps. Bnt what can one do ? In the gay seasop, one most give parties and attend them- Mrs. M.—J suppose M. fashion is law— more’s the pity. Bpt yon m»st something to tone vonr system, or yon’H break do^p. Mrs. R.—l hate medicine! Bpt yon shall prescribe for me. What wonld yon advise ? Mrs. M. —Well; I’ll tell yon my plan. When ever I’m nervous or hysterical, or have a headache, or am at all ont of sorts, I take a couple ol tablespoonfuls of Plantation Bit ters ond nr twice a day for a week or so, and it invariably brings jpe round. Mrs. K.—l do the tjiipg, with the same pleasant result, l have imphplt frith in that article. Mrs. R.—Well, ladies, on your recommenda tion, I’ll try it. “ Sea Moss Farine can be taken ioto the stomach of the most delicate, and is just the thing for invalids and all those desiring a light and delicate food.”—Post. jan»s-euwf ASK THE RECOVERED DYSPEPTICS, billions sufferers, victims of lever and ague, the mercurial diseased patients, how they re covered health, ebeertul spirits, and good ap- Sstlte. They will tell yon that Simmons' Liver egnlator was the remedy that relieved them from the very jaws of death. janss-d*cl BY TELEGRAPH. FROM ATLANTA. NO ORGANIZATIONS THE HOUSE. MORE ADJOURNMENTS ORDERED. A LITTLE MORE TIME NEEDED. MORE ORDERS TO BE ISSUED. THE HOUSE THEN TO ELECT SPEAKER. THE HOUBETO DECIDE ELIGIBILITY. THE RADICALS DISPIRITED. [Bpecial to the Constitutionalist. Atlanta, January 25. The Senate met and adjourned to 10 o’clock to-morrow. The House met at 10 o’clock, and. by or der of Bullock and Terry, again adjourned to 8, p. m. At 8, p. m., the House convened, pursu ant to adjournment, and was again pro rogued by Bnllock’s declaration, counter signed by Terry, to 10 o’clock to-morrow. Terry’s endorsement pretended that the time thus secured was necessary to the preparation of some orders, bat that these accomplished, the Speaker would then be elected without further delay. In the meantime the State exchequer, by this Provisional comedy, is leeched at the rate of $3,000 per diem. It is believed that Terry will simply give his opinion upon the eligibility of members against whom evidence has been heard by the military inquisition, leaving the House to decide thereupon. After the promulgation of Terry’s opin ion in the several cases, the House will or ganize, and afterwards make its decision. The Radicals are dispirited, and have another wigwaming to-night. [Associated Press Dispatches. WASHINGTON. Washington, January 25—Noon.—In the House, League Island was considered. In the Senate, the California whisky seizures was op. Robertson presented a huge bill, remov ing individual disabilities. Porter, on account of alleged bad record 4!or loyalty; Segar, on account of doubtful legality as Representative at Large; Booker and McKenzie, on account of seats beiug contested, will be retained by the Election Committee for further consideration. The balance of the Virginia delegation will be admitted upon their taking the usual oath. The Virginia Senators are not here, and there was no action regarding them. The Virginia bill is engrossed and is now in the Senate, waiting Colfax’s signature. Immediately upon its return it will go to the President. Virginia’.! admission will certainly be completed to-day, and if the President’s approval is returned in time, several of the Virginia Representatives will be seated to day. The weather continues very thick. C. B. Luck, of the Spotswood Hotel, is here, to Invite Prince Arthur, in behalf of the.citizens of Richmond, to visit that city. Mr. Luck visited Minister Thornton, and was informed that the Prince would go no furiher South now, bnt would probably visit the South before returning to Europe. Washington, January 25—P. M.—Rev enue to-day, $643,000. Coin in treasury, $54,000,000; currency, $5,000,000. The debt statement will show but a slight decrease. The President nominated Franz Saigel Assessor for the 6th New York District; Jas. H. Blackburn Marshal Middle Ten nessee. The Ways and Means Committee voted on admitting coal free. The vote stood : Yeas—Hooper, Allison, Maynard, Brooks —5; nays—Kelly, McCarthy, Blair, Schenck —4. It is apprehended that Maynard will change his rote. No more fifty eeuts fractional notes will he issued, on account of counterfeits in the Treasury. The Treasurer is preparing new designs. The Government sells one million of coin to-morrow, and buys one million of bonds Thursday. The Virginia Senators will be sworn in upon receipt of the President’s approval of the bill, unless some Senator objects, of which there is no present prospect, when the credentials go to the committee. The Elections Committee will hear Segar to-morrow on his claim to a seat as Repre sentative at Large f r om^ Virginia. To-day, in the case of Wallace v*. Simp lon, for action, the House indicated clearly a determination to refuse seats to minority candidates where majority candidates were ineligible. This is the first time the House lias snubbed its Elections Committee.— They reported in favor of Wallace. Simp son could not take the oath. It is expected the President willinform Congress early to-morrow of his approval of the Virginia bill. In Senate, the morning hour was occu pied with the California whisky seizures. No action. Sherman’s currency and gold note bill was resumed. Sumner called for the reading of his bill, aud offered it as a substitute. Sherman retorted that Sumner’s was a funding bill, and had no pretensions to the matter under consideration. The matter proposed by Sumner was now under con sideration by the Finance Committee. Discussion was continued to adjourn ment. To-day’s Tribune says : “ The House has adopted the Senate’s perverse action on the Virginia bill, without amendment. The terms on which, at length, Virginia is to be admitted, were yesterday set forth in our columns, and may be found again to-day embodied in the report of the proceedings. We do not- need to repeat that we deeply regret the result, finally attained at the end of these weary weeks of debate and recrimi nation. Congress prescribed certain terms for the admission of Virginia. The State complied to the fall with those terms. Con gress now prescribes fresh terms. This is punishing the treason of Virginia in 1861, by bad faith on the part of Congress in 1870. We do not believe such a course to be statesmanship or even sound party policy, and aggravating as is the wrong done Virginia, we believe she will suffer less from it in the end than will the party that has wrought it.” In she House, a bill dedicating agricultu ral lguds Qf California to homestead and pre-emption purposes passed- The Secretary of War was asked about the condition of the Nashville and De catur Railroad Company. A bill giving General Mower’s widow a pension of SSO per month meeting with ob jection, was withdrawn. The Bailee Canal survey expedition will be paid from the Tappropriafroß qf $40,000 made in 1866. League Island was discussed at great length. The House voted 103 to 73 that neither claifra&f sos the Fourtfl South Carolina District seat is entitled to admission, but, after much confusion and some excitement, the whole matter was tabled and recommit ted to the Elections Committee, for exami nation on its merits. The evening session was for debate only. LOUISIANA. New Orleans, January 25.—1n the Legislature, last night, at midnight, the Chattanooga Railroad bill passed the House after a sessiou of nearly twelve hoars of confusion and disorder. The Bulletin says it is doubtful if a more confused, excited and disorderly Legisla ture hus ever been seen on this continent or anywhere else. At another stage qf the proceedings, Mr- Lowell distinctly charged that there were members voting for the bill who had been paid to vote for it. The charge brought him a crowd of ex cited njewbers, ana to picture the scene of disorder at the ipojnent would besimpjy Impossible. A score were addressing the Chair and addressing Lowatl at the same moment, gesticulating in a menacing way, and one who raised his voice above the rest signified that Lowell was paid in the inter est Qf Cburfrs WQrffW. Tcnlay Wiltz asked leave to record his vote against the Chattanooga Railroad bill, a bill which he did not hesitate to pronounce as the most outrageous and villainous that was ever enacted by any deliberative as sembly. Citizens are holding a meeting this even ing, for the purpose of concerting measures to check the ruin and abuse of the credit of the State by the passage through the Legislature of unconstitutional measures, aud in the extravagant use of the money and credit of Louisiana. • The Government schooner Varina, sunk last week, has been raised. Joseph Murphy, a sailor, fell from the rigging of the British ship Assam Valley, to day, and was instantly killed. VIRGINIA. Richmond, January 25.—A salute of one hundred guns was fired in the Park at noon in honor of the admission of the State. About five thousand persons were present, two-thirds of whom were colored. National flags were raised on the Custom House ami the Capitol. Gov. Walker spoke a few minutes, congratulating the jteople on admission, and predicting a glo rious foture for Virginia. A colored Con servative and a number of colored Repub licans made political speeches, the burden of the latter being that, if the State did not follow the spirit of the reconstruction acts, she would be put back as a territory. Richmond, January 25—P. M.—Jeter Phillips, who was to have been hudg to day, for the murder of his wife, was re spited till February 25th. This is the ninth respite this prisoner has had, his case having been taken out of the hands of the State authorities under the reconstruction laws. Gov. Walker has commuted to imprison ment for life the sentence of David Craw-, ford(colored), condemned to death for rape on a white girl. After the occurrences stated in the noon dispatch, relative to the admission of the State, the colored people organized a polit ical meeting and kept up speeches till night, when they adjourned with cheers for the admission of the State. The guns used to-day were the same used in saluting the flag when the United States troops occupied the city in 1865. The offi cer commanding was a native of Richmond. The weather here has been so warm for a week that the trees are leafing. ALABAMA. Selma, January 25.—A large meetingof the citizens of Selma, irrespective of pirtyy was held to-night, to take into considera tion the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail road Bill, which recently passed the State Senate. Resolutions were unanimously adopted urging the extension of the pres ent law twelve months, it being wise, just and equal that the endorsement ol or loan of bonds by the State for more than sixteen thousand dollars a mile will.seriously im pair the credit of the State, and is in bad faith to those who have already invested in sach bonds, and to the bondholders of the State generally; and finally, that any special aid to one road more than another is unjnst, unequal, and violative of all sound policy and principle, if not of the very spirit of the bill of rights and the constitution of the State, and that we hereby express our utter condemnation of all such legislation. FOREIGN. Madrid, January 25.—The vote exclud ing Bourbons forever from the throne was rejected by yeas, 38; nays, 55. Paris, January 25.—The strike at La Creuzot has ended. MARINE NEWS.

JOHN BULL, MurorAOTUH* mm of .the oiluiatu Smith’s Tonic Syrupl FOR THE OURS OF AGUE AND FEVER » OR CHILLS AND FEVER. proprietor of thin celebrated medicine iunt ly claims for it a superiority over all ever offered to the public for the taf t, certain, speedy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testi mony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fall to cure, If the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain w cure, if its use Is continued in smaller doses for • week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially In difficult and long standing cases.— Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient however, require a cathartic medicine after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS wi be sufficient.

I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily nse lor some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by the ablest au thors that is so certain and speedy in Us effects. On the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it.— 1 am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the regnlar line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its combination. For my part, I shall make if a rule to use all and anv means to alleviate suffering human ity which 1 may be able to command—not hesi taring because some oi o more ingenious than myself may havn learned its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, I am by no means an advocate or snpporter of the thousands of wort hless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which hn man flesh is heir.

Faded or gray hair is soon restored Thin hair is thick ened, falling hair checked, and bald ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied aud decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor cau only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr, J. C. Ayer &.
