EDITOR LEADER: In your yesterday morn
ing's edition, you venture q comment
touching the character of an Constitution
among US, known as the Varieties" You
call it, disgrace to the city a hot bed of
immortality aud vice a cage of unclean
birds." If it be not too bold 3 thing to dare
inquire concerning questionable conduct,
when its prOprietors assume q place in So
ciety q peg or two above the common fry,
pray how much better, in a moral point Of
view, are a set ofmen who give their names
to 8 petition for the purpose of reseuing
that Constitution" from merited extinction,
than the poor deluded dependents upon
public favor who earn their bread from a
use Of indrmities which are, like most any
thing else, valuable only as they are in de-
mand ? How could any set of individuals
dos thing of that kind without q positive
apotiue and what must have been the mo-
tive of those VINO signed that shameful Pc
tition2
Was it because they desired to vindicate
the rights of q citizen whom they believed
was suddenly deprived of his legitimate
business through an arbitrary exercise OF
municipal authority? Do you believe any
such thing? II SO, look over that list OF
names again and ask yourself which one oil
those individuals ever before exhibited such
a sudden, titilIsting, open desire Of main
| tanning private rights. Why should they
not have awaited the decision of the court I

RACE OF THR REINDEER AND PEARL.-The
race between the steamers Reindeer and
Pearl came off Thursday forenoon. This
contest of speed grew out of their race with
the Commodore Perry, in which they were
both beaten. The race was from Detroit to
Maiden, a distance of twenty miles. The
terms of the wager, $500, were these: Tie
Reindeer wss to start simultaneously with
the Pearl, from Detroit, and reach Maiden
two minutes before the Pearl. The result
Of the trial was that the Reindeer reached
Maiden one minute and forty seconds in
advanced of the Pearl, or twenty seconds be-
hind time. The wager was, therefore, won
by the latter.

THE "VAgIETIRs."-CARD OF EXPLANATION
FROM THOMAS JONES, JR.-We publish below
8 card from Thomas Jones, Jr., President
of the City Council, d~isavowing the apps-
rent sanction which he gave to the Frank
fort Street Varieties by signing q commu-
nicstion addressed to the Mayor endorsing
the character of the proprietor of that in
stitutiOn, snd explaining the circumstances
under which that signature was obtained.
Tho sooner the other signers of that COM
munication follow Mr.gJOnes' example, the
better for their reputation as citizens and
gentlemen.
EDITOR LEADER Having appended my
signature, q few days since, to 3 communi-
cation addressed to the Mayor, upon repre-
sensations that the place known as the
"Varieties" was to be opened under new
auspices, and the character Of "entertain-
ments" given there entirely chsnged,-that
is, all Objectionable features being removed,
and the sale of liquors on the premises pro-
hibited,-On this understanding, and with
the proposed execution of a bind by the
proprietor, based upon the above condi-
tons, there seemed to be no valid reason
for withholding the licence usually granted
1 ~ ~ BAhIpn Vi PuOAAC
But as I learn that it was supposed, from
the use of my name in the above cOnnee-
ton, that I favored the opening Of the
" Varieties" without such restrictions and
safeguards as would, in fact, transform its
alleged original character almost complete
ly. / may state that, a. a matter of public
duty, numerous complaints having been
made of the nature of the exhibitions there,
in company with another member of the
City Council, I once visited the "Vsrieties"
to ascertain, from personal observation, the
facts in the case. The place, as then con-
Quoted, seemed to me TO be immoral in all
its accessories and tendencies and to have
for its almost exclusive habitues that class
of our youth most susceptible TO evil inAu-
ences, together with a large representation
of thoroughly depraved "irreclaimRbles,"
whose presence alone would clearly indi
cate the low character of the "shOw."
Such a place of resort 1 cannot, ven by
implication, be supposed to endorse or sp-
prove of the only question in my mind
being whether, if rendered unObjecsionable,
a license could legally be refused.
But, if these conditions on which the pro-
posed r~e-openiDg of the "Varieties" was to
be based, lave not been complied with, 1
am convinced, from my own observation,
that its exhibitions" cannot but have a
most d~emoralizing effect upon those who
attend them, greater, perhaps, than can be
counterscted by all the educational, moral,
and religious agencies in the entire city (;
and 1 desire most distinctly to repudiate
or liberation for such hot beds of vice and
immortality
