Opening OF the Varieties Theater.

AT an early hour last evening the streets,
alleyways and other places of popular resort
in the neighborhood of the Varieties, were
crowded with an expeotant throng, the usual
swarm of pretty women who grace the enter
tainments of this theater began to ascend the
staircase, and the general appearance of the
building decidedly recalled the entertainments
of the past season. The rising of the curtain,
after slzi1lful prelude Of the orchestra,
under Carlo Patti, completed the charm
of associations, and the serious business, or
entertainment of the evening, now began. It
was the representation of that most epigra-
matte Of English plays, the ''school for Scan
dal, in which every line almost is witticism,
and in which, the glitter, and ornament, and
sparkle are 50 plentiful as to become almost
wearisome. It is play which tests the
knowledge of polite society on the part of an
actor which requires careful costume and
studied manners; and, in which any ignorance
Of the proprieties would be fatal to the suc-
cess Of the play In each Of these requisites
the company fulfilled the expectations of the
public. u
Mi. Floyd as Charles Surface, was d lively,
rattling dashing young man about town, rep
resenting the Irish rather than the English
prodigal Of a past generation, but always sus-
tanning the role of the hero of the play, and
carrying the. audience along with him. Mr.
Jas. Garden as the hypocritieal brother Joseph
sul5ace was an able set-off, and we do not
remember courteous polished drawing-r DOM
villain, whose manners pleased us more. So
far as we had an opportunity Of judging we
were unquaIifedly pleased with disappearance
Mr.. Radcliffe as Hoses displayed a very eff |
feotive get-up, and Mr.. Pearson as Sir Oliyer
attracted BY his brusque, hearty and earnest
style, as much attention as any Of the de-
bataats. We heard Mr.. Brady complimented
by good critics as Sir Peter Ieazle, and Mrs.
Taylor gives evidence Of being an actress of
much talent. We shall not stop at this
late hour to speak Of such welI known
fayorites as Mrs. Chanfrau Messrs. Fiske. |
Davenport and Parsloe, each of whom was
loudly applauded on their first appearance.
To conclude what we have to say, the decora-
tions, earpeting, etc, for which, we believe,
Mr. St Germaine deserves the credit, added
much to the appearance of the building, and
the general character Of the opening perform
ance was such as to fill us with lively anti
cipations for the future of Mr. Floyd's new

RADICAL DECEpr1oNs,

The New York Tribune tries to convince
the public that there is something in the
actual or constitutional system of representa-
ton which works injustice towards voters. in
the Northern States as compared with voters
in the Southern States. In order to arrive at
this conclusion it is necessary to subyert the
vel established theory of representation, and
to assume that members Of Congress repre-
sent nobody except those who vote for them.
H this were true, it would follow that in no
State ale the people represented but only
that portion Of the people on whom the RIGHT
Of suffrage is conferred that is to say, AZ "
general rule, the white male citizens over the
age Of twenty ty-one years. Either the people
Of State, as an aggregate. are'unreprese
or the term people embraces but limited
portion Of the population women, minors.
and aliens being excluded
But the term people never has been under
stood IN this, sense, neither has it ever before
been held that a Legislative body represents
only those who actually vote for its members.
The Constitution declares that Estates shall
be entitled to SO many representatives, accord
9s1se eaeeAA Hoursi RoJttlbllou IL Goes not say
that States shall be entitled to SO many repre-.
sentatiyes according to the number of their
voters
But, in order. to influence sectional rage
and to excite sectional ambition, the Tribune
and its ao-laborers assume that in theory
only voters are represented in Congress, and
not the States, Or the people of the States :;
and hence, that yoter.in the South has more
power and influence than voter in the North.
The Tribune has the audacity to declare that
the congressional amendment provides for an
app6rtionment based on voting population,
which, 50 far from being true is directly the
reverse of the truth
The Amendment distinctly declares that
shall be based on total popu-
lation; but it couples this principle with an
expedient by which the Southern States
are to be cajoled or coerced into granting the
right Of suffrage to negroes. That is to saw
as long as negroes are not permitted to vote
is to be diminished in the pro-
portion which the excluded class bears to the
whole population Propositions to base
ON the number of qualified
electors were introduced, but were rejected.
TWAS seen that rule of this kind would lead
to perplexing fluctuations in the relative rep
