Varieties Theatre.

Rip Yam Wlnlcle, Asa TreaciaYd, and
"Bob Acres" three as unlike characters rs
can be conceived, and all admirably per-
sOnated, if not almost created anew by JEFF
ferson. Go and see the "Rivais" tonight
and see Jefferson as Bob if you would enjoy
with crowded house the ludicrous tfepi-
dstion of the greatest coward in all good
old Enlish comedy.
The usual matinee will be given to-day,
upon which occasion "Rosedale" will be
presented with Mr.. Floyd as Eliot Gray
and Mrs. Gomersal as Rose.
Academy OF Music
The variety company appeared in a CAPT
tai programme last night, aud Kept the
audience in lively humor to the close. All
have their friends among the audience.
The Clinetop sisters, Billy Emerson, Dele
hanty and Hengler, the acrobats: Miles.
Leah aud ST. Clair, and Add Ryman have
all made numerous friends, who greet their
appearance nightly with loud applause.
The usual matinee takes place to-day at
noon.
St. Charles Theatre.
The people who were SO fortunate as to
be present at the st. Charles last night
enjoyed dramatic treat that does not
occur to every man who goes to theatre.
Mr.. Ferrest's Macbeth is justly celebrated
as unsurpassed by that of any actor now
living. And there arc those who pronounce
him superior to any man who has lived in
the nineteenth century. His elocution is
one Of bis greatest excellenoes, although
his gestures are we'll timed and appropriate.
Barton Hill enacted Macd,lg in capital
sss77!==. The other nartz were mainly we'll
sustained. We are glad to hear il reported
that Mr.. Forrest will appear five nights
more.
Academy or Music.
The Academy was well filed again last
night by the friends Of the old favOrites who
have recently returned to the city. The
variety programme was very excellent, and
well performed.
Anes' HZuseum.
The Crescent City museum on st. Charles
street, opposite the hotel, is open day and
evening, and is supplied with innumerable
cufiosities worth seeing. Do not fail to
step in aad take look at the museum.

UNITY or THE REpuBLInAN PARTY

From all parts Of the state we receive
the most encouraging words. The Repub-
lican party is Hnit, and will have no
enemy in the approaching contest but the
old foe it has warred against from its very
birth. Sensible men who at first hesitated
to give the state ticket a cordial support
are new casting away their prejudioes,
looking only at the principles involved in
the issue, and coming up to the support Of
the ticket with all their political, military,
and social strength. Nothing was more
natural in the nomination Of a state and
congressional ticket than that few Jealous
Republicans should feel aggrieved because
their own choice was not that Of the party.
It Is the common experience OF all cliques,
factions, and parties. Being impossible in
the nature Of things to satisfy every one, it
was, perhaps, also impossible to select the
best talent in The state for party standard
bearers.
Talent is not always active and agrees
i've, and it not nnfrequently trusts too
much to its native dignity to bring 1t into
notice and popular appreciation. II is 10
to be regretted that some of our best men
whose aspirations were we'll known, but
whose exertions did mot keep pace with
them, could not have been nominated.
Few men have greatness thrust upon them;
most men have to achieve Il, and the expe-
riencc Of the Republican party in Louisi-
ana Is ike that of the same party in other
states; the men who have built up the party
are in the majority Of instances the ones
who are put forward for the aufrages Of the
people.
Acting IS 3 unit the party is certain Of COM
pletc success. The question, also, 10 teo great
q one 70 be confined altogether to local state
politics. Il Is to be remembered that the
defeat 81 the reconstruction policy in Loui-
siaaa will seriously embarass congress and
leopard the success Of the national party at
he polls next November Let "a, there
fore, sink all party differences let US be
patriots Ia heart as well as By word 81
mouth let u unlte as one man, a. one
will, as one uAconqusrable force, and 4
brilliant future viii be before us as a state
and as a aaiiom
