The 'IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT" IN THE
THEATRE.-Dion Bourcicault's new play, call
ed the "Octoroon, or Life in louisiana" has
excited very pretty quarrel among the pleas
ure-seekers and Unon.savers of New York
city. The story is that of young girl, slave
to her own father, who is sold after his death
to human devil, and takes poison to avert
her awful doom. There is abundance of side
playing in the drama, which renders it very
attractive. Mary Clemmer Ames, in one OF
her letters to the Utica Herald, says "the spirit
Of the drama is kind, even to gentleness 1t
does not contain word of randng. The dia-
logue is terse and of the highest order of com.
position The scenery, the appointments of
the house, to the minutest articles of furni
ture, are Photographic of southern land
scape, and of a southern home" Still the
play offended. 1t awakened sympathy upon
the wrong side. Agnes Robertson Bourcicault,
who performed the part of the Octoroon, SEN
sitive to public criticism, sent the following
letter to the management of the Winter Gar
den, where the play was produced, and of
which she is part proprietor =
"Io w. Stuart. Esq. :-Sir-I decline to ap-
pear any more in the 'Octoroon." l regret to
find that the piece has given offence to por-
ton of the public, and my part in it especially.
l receive continually letters threatening me
with violence, and when go on the stage do
SO in fear Of some outrage to myself or to my
husband. Therefore, beg to withdraw the
play. Yours, truly,
AGNES ROBERTSON BoURCIcAULT."
I'M
The play was recast and performed as
usual, of course to Overlooking houses.
Whereupon Mr.. Bourccault, the author, has
sued the lessee of the Garden, and others con-
cerned, for infringement of copyright, and
prayed for an injunction. The war is still
pending. The play was copyrighted on the
18th of December, and holds for twenty-eight
years. The penalty for violation of dramatic
copyright is 500 for the first night, and $50
for each subsequent night. Agnes Robertson
had received $1,000 for six performances in the
play, "but oppressed by the sense that she
was the object of just censure," she writes to
the Herald, "she could not consent to sell
her own selfesteem, and the good opinion
OF her friends at that or any price" Mean
while, it is said, the play is to be sufficiently
changed to avoid the penalty, and reproduced
at the Bowery, for the benefit of Chatham
street. and the promising youth who congre-
gate in that interesting locality

The GRAPES VERY SouR.-The political
enuchs" of the Boston Courier have very
bad luck in their searches for party. AT the
last election Ex-Governor Briggs was their
candidate for Governor. True, he had not &C.
cepted nominations but they supported him
in their accustomed style. But Gov. Briggs
would have nothing to do with their Union
meeting; and, it turns out, that he is a firm
Republican, always voting the Republican
ticket, excepting that, he Scratches" the name
of Gov. Banks. Thereupon the Courier treats
him in this style -

VIRGINIA.-The gallant citizens Of Virgin
ia, finding the anti duelling law oppressive, are
making strenuous effort to secure its repeal.
The law, as it now stands, is great discour-
agement to valor, and kind of standing re-
proach upon chivalry. What incentive to vir-
tue is left for young man, while it disqualifies
him for all civil or military distinction to re-
ceive, accept, or convey a challenge? 1t is
also thought to be very troublesome to be con-
tinually obliged to pass "acts of amnesty" re-
leasing from the rigor of the law gallant and
useful citizens who have fallen under its
ban. The oppressive bearing of the law was
illustrated by a little incident which lately
"went the rounds" to the effect that valiant
young man from Richmond, of good family, in
fact one of the bloods, was compelled, because
he was duellist, to serve as a private in the
ranks of the Virginia army, when it was sum-
moned to Charestown to see old Brown hung.
Such terrible valor ought not to be restrained
by oppressive enactments.

The LEGIsLATURE.-A lively discussion
took place in the Senate, Saturday morning,
on the resolve for paying the expenses of the
Webster statue Inauguration. Mr.. Branning
of Berkshire took occasion to endorse the anti
slavery sentiments avowed by Mr.. Webster at
different times, but denounced the doctrines he
advanced toward the close of his public life.
In the House, the liquor question came up
again, and the State Agent was authorized to
sell to city and town agents in other states.
During the discussion, Mr.. Nichols of Roxbury
obtained the floor, and Immediately yielded it
to Mr.. Spofford, who had already spoken.
Points OF order were raised, but the Speaker
ruled that Mr.. Spofford had right to the floor.
After very long and somewhat personal de-
bate, this decision was reversed by a vote of
&c to 95, and Mr. S. was declared by the
House to be out of order. BY large MAORI
ty, however, the rules were suspended, and
Mr.. S. had leave to speak ten minutes-a cour-
tesy which he saw fit to decline.
