THEATRIOALS.

TIE excitement throughout the city, aud the
dread entertained by families of molestation ON
their way TO and from the theater. have prevented
great many frequenters OF the Varieties and the
Academy from attending the usual performances.
The audiences are slender, but il is not at all
owing to the want of talent among the actors In
those excellent establishments.
At the Vsrieties Camille. or La Dame dttr ca
meVids was repeated with the same powerful
cast The lady who personated the "Queen Of
Flowers" performed her part as well, probably,
as Matilda Heron in her palmy days. The other
roles were very good. The dance Of Theresa
was really beautiful. tits hard to decide whether
Theresa at the Varieties. or Sohlke at the Acade-
my, is entitled to the palm. Ii is many years
since the Varieties has offered so many attractions.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.


Governor SCOTS Address.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 2s.-dovernor Scott has is.
sued the following proclamation
To the Citizens Of South Carolina
Feuo,c-C -Citizens - The numerous complaints
made 10 this department Of murders aud outrages
committed by wicked and ipconsderate persons,
excited by intense party feG,ng, made IL my duty
10 issue the late proclamation, calling upon all
good and true men, without re5peot to political
predilectiop, to unite in demonstration to dis
countenauce and denounce lawlessness and vio-
lepce, and In an effort to recover and maintain the
good name that has heretofore been the heritage
end the pride of our belovGd State.
II is now my pleasing duty to congratulate
you upon the beneficial results that have en-.
sued from the admirable and well timed address
of Gen. Hampton and the executive committee
of the Democratic party. Ia honest and impress
sive terms they have called upon the people to
support the laws, to preserve peace and to de-
nounce these crimes which have so recently been
committed in some pcrtionc OF our State. These
patriotic counsels cannot fail of haying q wide
and wholesome influence iD.inoderating the vehe.
mence of feeling OF those 20 whom they are au-
fhoritatiyely addressed, while they have queted
the apprehension and conclsted the respect aud
good will Of their political opponent.
This is certainly just cause Of congratulatlon
20 every well wisher Of the State and 1t gives me
unfeigned pleasure to acknowledge it, and to
earnestly invoke the cooperation of every men,
Der of the Republican party in reciprocating to
fhe fullest extent the pacific policy so admirably
inculcated by the Democratic leaders. Let acri-
monious and irritating discussions be avoided,
and appeals be made TO the intelligence and rea-
Hon and not to the fears or passions Of the com.
munity.
Differ we may in political sentiments, II is the
dictate alike of wisdom and patriotism for all to
appeal to and confde in the efficacy of peaceful
remedies for political evils actual or supposed.
Let "bear and forbear" be our maxim, and so
shall the peace, prosperity and honor of our be.
loved state be maintained and perpetuated, and
her time-honored escatcheon will be preserved
unsued aud undlmmed, in all its original purity
and luster.

THE ST. BERNARD TROUBLES.
Further Particulars and Incidents,

1t is now ascerta,ned that Pablo Feliu alone
was killed. When ths negroes. numbering some
four or five hundred, surrounded the house, he
ordered his wife to load his guns, and young
apprentice to load those Of his SON, while they
were to shoot. he and his son shot sone twenty.
five or thirty shots. killing and wounding, it is
presumed, several Of the blood thirsty bcsiegers.
When he saw that everything was lost, he told
the apprentice to take his two young children and
hide them in the canes. THIS was done heroic.
ally by the young man, whose name is Raoul
Jupas, scarcely aged Is years.
After further defense, he ordered his wife to es.
cape with her babe. She in endesvoring to do 30
was pushed back several times into the flames
She finally succeeded in making her escape. Ow-
ing to the cries of the babe, which could not be
suppressed in the canes, she was again caught by
the mereiless negroes and forced back to the
burning house. She said to them: "You have
killed my husband and my children (she thinking
that the others had been massacred), you have
burned my house, then kill me now and be done
with it," The negroes replied: "No. We will
take you back to the house and burn you in it with
your husband and children. Give US the keys"
They took her back to the house, and as it was
by that time all in flames, and as they were intent
on securing their plunder and heard OF the ap-
prosch of the whites, she again escaped. and is
now safe with her sister. who is severely wounded
in the head.
The charred bodies found next morning are
supposed to be that of Pablo Feliu and some
negroes whom he killed before succumbing him.
self. He was a very brave man, and is reported
to have died fighting heroically aud graspng his
gun.
The son of our felow-citizen, Major John S.
Tuly, was living with his grandmother. about
quarter of a mile from the scene of murder. The
family were compelled to flee for protection. and
the poor child, some four years old, was in the
road all night with his grandmother and others on
their way to this city.
Major Tully saw his son yesterday; he Is safe
and in good health. Our friend must certainly
have been laboriDg under painful state of mind
and anxiety as to the safety of his son. We con-
graduate Major Tully on the pleasure he had Of
receiving his child in his arms. How many sins
will the Radical party have to account for,
At present every ything is quiet in st. Bernard !;
but the houses of the whites are without women
or children, the white men. who are reported to
have acted very bravey, alone remaining.

THE POLICE.
Gen. Steedman Declines the Mayors
appointment rs Chief Of Police.
Thomas e. Adams Directed to Resume
His Duties as Chief.

All other subjects of local interest or import
ance completely lost themselves yesterday in the
alengrossing topic relative to the organization
Of an effective police. The city was quiet through.
out the day, comparatively few arrests being re.
corded. During the morning Gen. Steedman, who
was busily occupied at police headquarters in
regulating the details of bis force, was officially
notified by message from the mayor, of his ap-
pointment as chief Of police under the provisions
of the old regime, restored by the councils reso-
luton Of the previous day. The general stating
that he would take the matter under considers-
ton and reply with all due promptitude, at once
consulted with General Rousseau, at military
headqusrters and upon returning from the intsr-
view, declined the appointment rendered by the
mayor. Later in the afternoon, about five O'Clock,
the large number of persons who had ell day been
around the premises, having nearly all dispersed,
General Steedman placed in the hands of Mr..
McDuff, president of the Police Board, his written
resignation. Meanwhile Col. Thomas e. Adams,
who, in the summer of 1867, was removed by mill.
tary order of Gen. Sheridan, from the Office of
chief of police, had been placed in possession of
the following communication:
MAYoRALrY OF NEW ORLEANs,l
City Hall, Oct. 20, 1865.
Thos z Adams, Chief of Police:
You are hereby ordered to immediately resume
the duties of your Office as chief of police in and
for the city Of New Orleans, and report to me as
soon as possible the force under your command,
end the disposition you have made TO preserve the
peace and order of the city.
JNo. R. CONWAY, Mayor.
Upon receiving this order, Col. Adams repaired
to the police headquarters, and there remained
until the arrival of Special Officer Cain, whom
Gen. Steedmsn had left in charge. When Mr..
Cain came in, Col. Adams showed him the mayors
order, and informed him that he had come to take
possession. Mr.. Cain replied that. having been
left in charge by Gen. Steedman, he felt no
authority to relinquish the office, except to his
superior officer. He stated at the same time, his
perfect willingness to recognize the mayors order,
but deferred any action pending Gen. Steedman's
return. Col Adams then withdrew.
About hslfpast o'clock Gen. Steedman and Col.
Adams met in the police Office. The latter pre-
sented The mayors order, and offered to take pos
session. Gen. Steedmsn, in reply, declined at
that time to transfer the Office, and Col. Adams
again withdrew. Gen. Steedman then again left
the Office in charge of Special Officer Cain for the
night, and thus at present matters remain. Fifty
four new men were added yesterday to the force
which now numbers four hundred and seventy
eight in all.
