TIE NEW VARIETIES,

IN accordance With suggestion which
first made its appearance in the REPuB-
L1cAS, the Varieties Association has Sc
lected a site on Canal street, between
Burgundy and Dalphine, for its new
theatre. The precise location is known as
one Of the Three Sisters, very i'm
posing building, which was originally
constructed for private residences, but
which never pursued its destiny, because
il was in a place which business demanded
should be devoted to something more posi-
tive than the soft dalliance Oh domestic
bliss. /. has never been profitable ven
ture We suppose, having failed first as
family altar, then as a grand hotel, and
thirdly as a business resort. It's construc
ton impairs its usefulness as one Of the
temples Of trade. Fortunately, one end
OF il has fallen into competent hands as a
restaurant, and now the other end Of il
has come 70 It's own by being adapted
as theatre. It IS surposable that between
these two stools the centre building viii
soon drop into line ard prove benefit to
the public and prof. TO is owner.
The particular building or section OF
the Three Sisters which has been
secured by the Varieties Association is
that one next to Christ Church, and run
ming back to an alley that connects with
Burgundy street, and to a vacant 10. that
fronts CustomhoUse street. It IS sus-
pected tina. the association vii secure
the vacant property, and thus give the
new theatre three outlets, one On Canal,
one on Burgundy and one on Custom
house street. It is also suspected that
the theatre itself viii be built On the rear
lot, something as Niblo's is constructed
Il New York, which is only reached after
going through the Metropolitan Hotel.
That is, the main entrance Will be through
the basement of the front building back
to the theatre proper in the rear. The
upper rooms Of the main architectural
adornment on Canal avenue Will furnish
club rooms and private apartments for
the association and the theatre; and if
that building never saw any suppers and
sights before, i. is in fair way to make

THE STEAMSHIP TENNESSEE.

Last summer the United States sloop-ot-
war Shenandoah was out sixty days from
Boston to Lisbon, and great uneasiness
was created in the public mind thereby.
1t frequently requires thirty days for sail
ING vessels to reach San Domingo from
New York by the nearest route, and even
when they prolong their voyages to greater
lengths of time the public does not 1eel
any considerable uneasiness. The steam
ship Tennessee is out thirty days, and her
voyage was by what is known as tie
sswindward channel" which is somewhat
longer than other routes. She would
have to arrive at her destination and the
news would have to return 20 Havana be-
fore we could hear Of it. This might con-
sumo ten or fifteen days more, according
to the character Of the dispatch boat. SO
that actually, counting ten Gays for the
news to reach Havana, we are Only allow
ing twenty days for the passage. This IS
not enough to Justify the slightest alarm
whatever, when We consider the cort1n-
gencies that might happen to delay the
vessel.
The Tennessee is a new vessel, and is
considered source Of pride to the navy.
Her commander, Captain William &.
Temple, was selected with strict regard TO
the important command entrusted to him,
being man of remarkable nerve and great
skill as a seaman, proved during the late
civil war in many instances. All the
subordinate officers are of the same select
order of men, and it may be assumed that
there was no hack of watchfrllness OF
ability in the management Of the vessel.
Under such circumstances We think that
there is no occasion for uneasiness as 20
the fate Of the Tennessee. She may have
impaired her engine, and been reduced to
the necessity Of using her sails; bu: even
this is not necessarily presumptlve from
the fact that she has not been heard from.

N THELEGTSIkTURE,

IN the Senate. yesterday morning, a
considerable portion Of the session was
occupied in discussing the bill for re-
moving distractions in Bayou Courta-
hleau, and improving the navigation
thereof. There was some rather dit1usive
debate but little opposition, the discus
sion relating chie1iy'to amendments. The
bill passed.
The next important matter was Senate
bill No. 81, introduced by Mr.. Ray, of
Ouachita, being the act ''to establish an
institution for the blind, and an industrial
home for the blind at Baton Rouge
The debate on this bill occupied con-
siderable time although the Senate was
greatly in its favor, the discussion arising
from the anxiety On the part OF Senators
to make the bill as perfect as possible. 1t
was this feeling that induced Senator
O'Hara to move for striking out in the
second section, the words OF sound mind
and good moral character, in order, as
the gentleman explained, to leave 60 pre-
text for excluding from the benefits Of the
institution persons of any class or condi-
ton. The principal amendment in the
bill was one in the second section, Ielat-
ing to the admissibility of pupils on ac-
count Of age. The amendment was Of
fered by Senator Raglan, and was adopted.
It opens the institution for blind persons
without restriction as to age. We are
Glad to find that Senator Raglan took the
same views as have been expressed in the
REPUBLICAN, about giving the lsylum for
the blind the widest scope in regard to
the ages Of those admitted. The bill
finally passed.
We noticed that the appropriate COM
mite, reported a bill IS substitute for the
two city park bills low before the Legis-
latuIe.
The Judiciary committee reported bill
providing tor the printing Of two thousand
copies Of the State laws, TWO hundred and
fifty copies OF Journal, debates and docu-
ments; also, five hundred copies Of the
annual reports. As we understood it, the
above copies are for distribution among
the various State and parish officials. The
movement is, We think, judiG.ous one;
for although it is an axiom tina: ignorance
of the law excuseth no man, it is not the
less duty Of those from whom the law
emanates to secure its due diffusion. more
especially among those whose duty it is
to enforce its provisions. In, fact, there
are few States where copies Of the laws
enacted are so sparsely distributed, even
where tLepopulation is less than in Loui-
siana.
Among other acts deserving especial

up for lost time now, for in its profound
recesses the wizard who makes and
moulds the enchantments Of the Mystic
Grew will hold his hidden artifcers.
The association is not a speculative
creature or else it would have invested
it's money in buying all the family of the
Three Sisters" which would have given
it control Of the surroundings ard APP
proaches to the theatre. The great OBJ
lection to the Academy and the St.
Charles is the character OF the houses
that exist in their neighborhood, and the
people that assemble thereaheuts. This
the association could cure if i possessed
the entire group CT "sisteFs," ard its
audiences would have been s.s much pro-
tecteG as was their old theatre on Gravier
street. L. is rot supposabla case that
the building On the river eide Of the
character should undergo change from
what it now is.
Now, if some enterprising citizen will
occupy the remaining SISTERS, and con-
vert them into an elegant billiard room, a
recherche supper room, and first class
bar room, something$stter the fashion Of
the Ttutro -Nacional in the City Of Mexico,
We shall have a place Of amusement that
the city OF New Orleans may proudly con-
graduate the association with.

TIE CEORPHNNING CASE.

Hon. John Cessna, OF Pennsylvania,
favors Us with a copy of lis speech, or
rather his personal explanation, made in
Congress ON the seventh Of February, rel
ative to tie assertion that he had cen
gineered'' the Chorpenning resolution
through Congress on the heel OF the ses-
sion. In the REPUBLICAN, Of yesterday,
reference was made to this matter, in
connection with some general remarks
upon the subject of Lasty legislation.
Our object then was to defend Mr.. Ores
well against charges that were untrue, for
he was accused Of doing what had never
been done. Mr.. Cessna not only relieves
the Postmaster indirectly, but he nurges
himself of all suspicion as to the honesty
of his action in securing the passage Of
the resolution upon which Mr.. Creswell
acted And since the Democratic papers
have agitated their readers with appre-
tensions about Chorpennings designs on
the treasury, probably they would do
common political honesty service if they
would review the Chorpennirg swindle
1t seems that the claim which has created
this Indignation against Postmaster
General Creswell has been Endorsed by
President Buchanan, Attorney General
Black, Hon William N. GwilIn, Andrew
jackson, and several other radicals Of
that stripe, and that the long delay in
its settlement was because Major Choir
penninr. who is citizen Of Pennsyl-
wanna, never pushed his claim at all,
but lett il to the care OF Mr. Black, who
is shining radical in the Democratic
household And even after the claim
was adjusted ty Mr.. Cre>well, and
when payment could have been de-
manded al any time, Chorpenning al
lowed it to rest in quiet oblivion sntil
Congress repealed the resolution and left
him without his money 1t is not the
usual proceeding Of swindlers in collect
ing their claims to allow the money to
cool II the treasury a moment after they
can lut their hands upon it.
NJ. Cessna clearly demonstrates his
own innocence Of having engineered
the measure. and he furnished evidence
that Postmaster Creswell acted in strict
accordance with the resolution and with
the previously ex. ressed opinions Of
Democratic officials in making the adjust
