THE NEW VARIETIES.

Il is worthy of note that this Times is
right on one point at least. The new
theatre on Canal street is private specu-
lat;on. it is true. and the gentlemen who
are putting their money into 1t are fully
authorized and empowered to curtail the
audience of anything but standing room,
or to elevate the stage and auditorium
into the fourth story back if they so elect
to do; but as theatres are places Of public
entertainment, the public and the press
have a right to criticise the matter, and
to declare thnt they will not commend
such limited accommodations. And
herein i, where the Times is right. that it
declares the intention of the Variety
Association 70 BE- a great mistake in put
ting the new theatre i'll the
second story. while the ground
floor is to be used as club
room. That is. we indorse the assertion
of the Times TO the extent that the choicest
part of the new theatre should be sur
rendered to the public if the public is to
support it. We assert nothing as to the
final disposition in this matter except this,
that the theatre should be favored and not
the clubroom. Not having seen the
designs, nor being at all welded to any
particular plan. we still insist that it will
be great mistake if the new theatre does
not consult the interests of the public
rather than the pleasures of its builders,
in the manner of its constructions. We
do not demand theatre stage on a level
with the street, nor do we declare in favor
Of stage in the second story. but what
we do demand, on behalf of the public. is
a well-constructed, safe and convenient
theatre, and if we do not get this, we
shall exercise our own freedom Of criticism
and say that the association has spoilt
good thing.
The Times is simply right in calling
the attention of the association to the fact
that a great mistake will be made if the
new theatre is not what the public can
approve and patronize heartily and fully
Any neglect Of the people will be resented
by studied neglect. 1t is not right in
saying that elevation will mar the thea
tire. We rather prefer it as tending to a
better atmosphere and to freedom from
street music. The club can put its rooms
on the ground floor if it will give us an
accessible auditorium at the head Of a
gradual rise Of ten feet. But give us
good theatre, or else we shall quarrel for
something and to some purpose.

SCHOOL CIRCULAR.

lhe State Superintendent of Public
Education announces in a circular the
amount of undrawn appointments OF
the school fund due to each parish, with
the rather discourleing qualification that
no apportionment for the quarter ending
March can be made in consequence of
the heavy deductions to tax collectors
having absorbed the residue Of the fund.
We do not fully understand this question.
We had supposed thai deductions to tax
collectors were made on the assessment
rolls in consequence of inability to col
lcct, but here we find total OF Sl6f, 1861
cash in the treasury deducted to tax col
lectors under some law of which the pub
lie at large know but little or nothing
NJ. Conway's circular throws no light
upon the subject, and we are left to draw
upon the only remaining resource-the
presumption that everything is quite as 1t
should be

HOW ABOUT BEEF?

The gentlemen who constituted the
slaughterhouse monopoly in Algiers, and
the other gentlemen who constituted the
close corporation known as the Butchers
Benevolent Association, below the bar
racks, Notwithstanding that the latter
always said that the former did not
know ANYTHING about the business, have
at last collided in friendship and COM
bined in interest The men who were
not butchers have withdrawn i'll favor Of
Mr.. Cavaroc, who is a genuine dissecter
of the bovine race, especially on Caron-
delet street. The business Of supplying
us now with our daily steaks and chops is
tremendously arranged and happily
blended in one fraternal association, and
the trade of killing mild-eyed calves and
innocent-looking sheep will hereafter be
conducted, in the face of the law, at the
Crescent City Slaughterhouse in Alsiers,
or at the Cavaroc place below the bar
racks.
This is lovely. and shows summer
weather for the butchers. But what about
the people? Where is the voice of lamen-
tation now that used to arise so regularly
in the courts and at the breakfast table,
about this dreadful law which impeded
two amendments to the American consti-
tuition, and trampled under foot the rights
I Of the people? Is itless violation Of the

GOOD SIGN IN TEXAS.

Governor Davis. of Texas. can comptl-
ment himself upon one fact which is re-
ported from Huntsville, but about which
there does not seem to be much remark.
Five prominent citizens We're arrested
tried, convicted and sentenced topay each
one hundred dollars fine for assisting NJ
the escape of prisoner from a civil
officer. Two Of the parties acted mega
lively by refusing to answer the call OF the
officer, and three engaged in releasing the
prisoner because he had been arrested
for maltreating negroes. We say that
this is a credit to Governor Davis and
for two reasons First. 1t strikes AT
passive lawiessness as well as active v!o-
lencc: and it was quietly done III well
settled community upon the Men who set
themselves up rs a little better than their
neichbors. because of their social stand
ing and their exemption from ordinary
politicnl anteccdents. If Governor DAVIS
can organize machinery that Will work
this manner of effective reconstruction IN
communities by making punishment GER
tain either for doing or countenancinS
lawlessness it will be the greatest work
that can be done for Texas. And if it is
being done in Huntsville without noise,
perhaps it is being done elsewhere; and
if it is, the law and the Governor are
both worthy Of orr highest praise. Texas
is settled by a sensible class of people.
but they want to be taught that it is to
their interest to respect, and to see that
others respect, the law. If it is bad
one repeal it, and if it is good one en-
force it. And until this is done the
blessings Of peace will not be revealed to
them, nor will the rose blossom i'll full
fragrance for them.

work that is authorized to be done at such
an immense cost, it is better it should not
be done. This is the reason why the
REPUBLICAN has been disposed to question
the prosecution of the work by the Mexi-
can Gulf Ship Canal Company; and Ii
the Tines really holds the interest of the
city paramount to the interest OF lndl-
viduals who are endeavoring to secure

DRAINAGE.

The Times says the REPUBLICAN objects
to the drainage bill enacted at the last
session Of the Legislature, on the ground
OF the inutility of surface drainage, and
accuses it OF indulging in ''senseless
jargon about underground sewerage as
the only practical and beneficial mode of
draining this city"
The subject is too vital to permit Of
diversion in the way of bandying words.
This city has long suffered in it's CONNER
cial and sanitary interests from want of an
efficient syetem of drainage. The sub
iect is not a new one. Surface drainage
has already cost millions Of dollars in this
city without accomplishing the full ends
to be obtained from ali adequate system
of drainage, such as has been adopted in
other large cities. Engineering skill has
overcome similar difficulties in other
cities. and it is believed it can do it here,
providing it is invited and encouraged to
do it. The passage Of new law upon
the subject of drainage authorizing the
Mississippi and Mexican Gulf Ship
Canal Company to excavate drainage
canals and build protection levees within
the present limits of New Orleans and
Carrollton at the rate of one dollar per
cubic yard for the digging of said canals
and building of said levess, involves an
amount of money, it is believed, that
should relieve this city effectually from
inundation; and ualess there is some
guaranty that this will, be the result Of the

organic law of the land that the Slaugh-
terhouse monopoly is supported by both
the legal creation and the private corpora

Slaughterhouse and the Benevolent
Butchers repair the infracted constitution
and restore the rights of man that were
impinged upon? Are the people secure
now in a free enjoyment of those sacred
and ;nalienable privileges whica were so
eloquently deplored as extinct by our
greatest legal luminaries: We are very
deeply interested in this matter, and our
stock of questions has not given out; bnt

ON CARONpELET STREET.

Yesterday wa, decidedly the llvellest
dav of the season in Carondelet street.
The street was in state of extraordinary
agitation from an early hour in the morn
ing. and nothing was talked of but the
upward movement in Slaughterhouse.
The partisans OF other stocks could
scarcely get in word eagewise, and II
they tried to talk of anything else than
the topic of the hour they were consigned
Immediately to the realms Of boredom.
The stock opened on Il rising market, and
was seen at once to be very bnoyant.
Those who were so lucky as to get III
early, and secure a hundred shares or so
below $40 were able to sell out at a hand
some profit before night Several hum
bred shares changed hands, but there
were many more buyers than sellers
Holders who had stuck to the stock

looked satisfied and congratulated them
selves on their sagacity, not thinking,

the same kind of calculations, showing
how easily they could have made them
selves rich, if they had only purchased at
