SUMNER THEATRICALs.-0ar old fellow. .townsman
and knight of the sock and buskin Mr. J. s. Char es,
has organized dramatic company and taken the
Varieties Theater, ia order that whatever ennui NAV
oppress the multndes of evening idlers may not be
laid to lack of public amusement. The Varieties,
in warm weather, is the best ventilated and coolest
OF all our public resorts, and Mr. Charles, being able
to offer course Of light pleasant theatricals has
been wise enough to secure it for his purpose
The first performance was given last evening. to
very respectable summer audience and with perfect
success. Mr.. Charles, and another favorite in this
community, Mrs. A. l. Menken, appeared at the head
of the company, aud in several comic pieces afforded
the velest satisfaction. In fact, the performances
were received with a marked gusto, which we were
at no loss to attribute, partly to their good quality,
and partly to the natural appetite for theatricas,
which has had nothing to feed upon for some time
past. Warm as the night was, we found the theater
quite as cool as any other place in which the evening
crowds are wont to congregate; and we therefore
take pleasure in recommending the Varieties and the
summer company to all who would spend their eve
ming leisure pleasantly.
Tonight the bill is to consist of "The Little Trea.
sure" and "Lola Montez,n Mrs. Menken aud Mr..
Charles appearing in both pieces, and Mrs. NJ. sing
ing and dancing in the latter piece There will be
plenty of entertainment for all who CO. Mr.. j. M.
Weston is the gentlemanly Treasurer.

The Sun speaks rather too strongly, and somewhat
erroneously, according to our humble belief. We
don't think the independents at all hypocriticain
nor do We believe they are actuated by any other
than good motives, although we hold to the opinion
that they are laborng under extraordinary amount
Of selfdelusion. The independents are, certainly,
not using Major Beuregard as tooIv That is a
fixed solid, immutable fact-jus. as fixed, solid and
certain, as that Sdelsm has ruled this State with
rod OF iron for the last five six years and that it

elected II there are any tools in the case the in

how widely they may think otherwise at present. and

mark before the expiration of six months il they sue

undertaking. We look upon the whole affair as the
west and deepest political trick that ever originated
In the House, or in the rooms OF the Central
Committee on Exchange Alley, aided, abetted and
supported by telegraphic dispatches from head
quarters in Washington. II it triumphs it will
prove slide triumph to all practical intents
and purposes, although perhaps not apparent on
the surface and then those Democratic anti
slidellians who have unwittingly lent their inHn-
ence to the movement will find the ban Of ostra-
cism drawn around them still more closely than be-
fore, which has already amounted to something more
than exclusion from all Federal offices of honor and
emolument, and the Old Line Wings and others will
discover that they have enhanced the strength Of
their ancient and most dangerous political enemy.
