Theodore Thomas Concerts.

The renowned and unequaled concert or
ganization of Theodore Thomas will give a
series of concerts at Odd Fellows Hail.
commencing Monday evening, the nine
teenth instant. 1t is the largest troupe
which has ever undertaken concert tour
either in this country or Europe. The fol
lowing is list of the instruments:
Twenty viol;ns, led by Mr.. B. Listemann;
five violas, four violoncellos, four double
basses, one harp, one piccOlo, two flutes, two
oboes, one corno Auglals, two clarionets,
two bassoons. four French horns, two trum-
pets, three trombones, one tuba, kettle
drums, side drum. bass drum, etc.
Miss Marie Krebs, who ranks among the
great pianists of the world, will also appear
at these concerts. She is but nineteen
years Of age-plays everything from mem
ory-all the we'll known concertos by the
great masters. the hravura pieces by List,
and the poetic etlusions by Chopin, Schu-
mann, etc. The programmes of these in
com parable concerts have been arranged
with a view to suit the tastes of all, as Mr..
Thomas does not adhere to one style of
music His aim is to pay tribute to all
which is good. and thus he has gained the
high and unique position of being the ere
ator and conductor of the best and most
versatile orchestra in the world.

The Louisiana Mails.

We have two special agents of the postof-
flee department in New Orleans at the pres
ent time one of whom is Mr.. Wharton, for
the State of Louisiana, and the other Mr..
MOrehouse, for three or four States. We
may venture the opinion that, however vigi-
liant and diligent these officers may be, they
are powerless to bring about celerity,
promptness, regularity and dispatch in our
local mail transportation until contractors
can'be found who will do what they under
take to for these local mails are impract-
cable, and contractors perform their duty or
not, just as they are inclined.
We reproduced yesterday morning ex-
tracts from the Opelousas Journal and
the Opelousas Courier complaining of the
inefficiency of the mail service there. Mr.
Wharton, special mail agent, had, on the
second instant, written and sent to the
Postotfice Department communication re-
lating to the mails referred to, in which
he mentioned the negligence and inditfer-
ence of mail contractors, and rightly at
tributed to them the blame for the inef.
fcient mail service.
The complaints from Opelousas are caused
by the failure of the mail contractor on the
bayou Teche to arrive at New Iberia on
time, thereby losing connection by stage.
The attention of the captains of the mail
boats has been called to this matter, and the
failures have been reported to the depart
ment at Washington. That exhausts the
authority or power of the special agent of
the postoffice here.
The fault in the mail service in Louisiana,
generally, is caused By the constant habit
contractors have of failing to comply with
their contracts, recklessly neglecting to ar
rive and depart on time. Sometimes, it is
true, these irregularities are owing to causes
beyond control, such as bad weather. worse
roads and low water but Oftener the delay
is caused on the rivers by overlooking the
boats with freight, and consequent inabil-
ity to make their mail landings.
Mr.. Wharton gives an assurance that he
will continue to investigate and report to
the Postotfice Department causes of mail
irregularities, and that he will not neglect
his official duties, or politically occupy the
time belonging to the government. however
he may be interested in Customhouse poll
tics. We may express the hope that he
will succeed in preventing postal irregular
tiles in Louisiana.

At the City Hall.

An attempt was made, some time since.
by the Administrator of Police, 10 remove
the shanties and rckety buildings ON the
levee front, used of late years as rendez-
vOus for disreputable characters, and where
the worst practices are engaged in. 1t
proved abOrtive, however, and the houses
still remain, receptacles of stolen property
and where robberies are perpetrated with
comparative impunity. What is to be done
to abate the nuisance, it is difficult to de-
termine unless, indeed, an ordinance of the
Council authorizes the removal of the
houses. But the right to pass such a reso-
luton is doubted, where permission has
been given to erect them. 1t is said that it
would lay the city liable for damages This,
however, can only apply to few places.
Many of the houses can show no contract
at all. The abatement of the nuisance, if
only in limited degree, would be beneficial.
The completion OF the present projected
canals will insure to the city the most thor
ough drainage facilities it has ever had.
The new canal, now in process Of construc-
ton, does not augment the nun Der of open
sewers, as many suppose, and, indeed, as
has been stated, but enables the Depart
ment of Improvements to close the Canal
street canal and the Galvez and Claiborne
street canals. This will give the residents
along the most beautiful thOroughtare in
the city a firm, solid road, and remove from
it the unsightly drain that SO greatly mars
its beauty.
As it is at present arranged the Claiborne
street canal is the only outlet for the sur
face water of the central portion of the
city. OF course its capacity is not equal to
the demand, and hence our frequent over
flows. The new canal will etfectually avoid
this evil.
1t is asserted that the Administrator of
Finance has nearly finished pay :ng appro-
priation certificates. 1t is a matter of some
regret that so many certificates Of indebted
ness are still out. They are mostly held
by poor men, who can not sustain the ruin
GUS discount exacted for brokerage.
The erection of the platform in front of
the City Hall for Mardi Gras has already
commenced
The main stand opposite the City Hall
will extend the entire front OF Lafayette
square, three hundred and fifty feet in
length, rising from the curbstone up over
the fence sixteen seats in height, and will
accommodate three thousand persons. I'm
mediately in front of the hail platform
will extend over the banquette to the gutter
for the accommodation of the Grand Duke
Alexis, the City Administrators, and others
Each side of this level platform will be a
series of raised seats

WASHINGTON.
Washington Treaty and Alabama Claims
Uniform Tobacco Tax-Phil Sheridan
at WashingtO4T:The Hornet Libeled-
Garrett Davis Out Of Danger.

WASHINGTON, February THE position
taken by gentlemen closely connected with
the administration of the government, is
that the British high commissioners per-
fectly understood the views OF the American
high commissioners in the negotiation of the
treaty of Washington, both from its terms
and its associations in the protocol, and
that therefore our government is altogether
justified in presenting the case as it has,
claiming consequential damages in case the
board of arbitrators shall not award a gross
sum in satisfaction of the SO called Ala
bama claims. This government is willing
to stand by the decision of the arbitrators.
1t is known that though the British com
missiOners had full power they frequently
consulted their home government, and
acted in accordance with its wishes in all
they did. 1t is officially asserted that if
the claim for consequential damages had
not been presented, and was not to be
passed upon, there might be a complaint by
the people of the United States that pro
vision was made for a partial settlement
only of the difference between the two
countries. Such claim was, therefore, pre-
sented for a full settlement in the interests
of peace, and to preclude future disputes.
This government bas not yet received
theItext of the letter from Lord Granville
to General Schenok and therefore cannot
take official action upon it. There is no prob
ability, whatever, that our government will
withdraw any part of its statement of the
case, but will leave the British government
to pursue its own course, or the tribunal OF
arbitrators to act in the premises according
to treaty stipulations. Nor is it likely that
our counsel will take any action in order to
accommodate the British government.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Doug
lass, before the Committee on Ways and
Means to-day, argued that uniform to-
bacco tax was in the interest of both the
government and manufacturers.
General Phil Sheridan is here.
The Hornet has been hbeled for viola
lation of the neutrality laws.

whether State or national, which discrimi-
nate against race or color by the use Of the

After some discussion, Mr.. Sumner, at the
request of friends of the bill, consented that
the section should be stricken out.
Mr.. Harlan objected to the striking out of
the section without vote.
Senate adjourned.
House.-The House voted to-day on the
amendments to the educational bill. Two
important amendments were adopted; one,
on motion of Mr.. Goodrich, of New York, to
distribute the fund ON the basis of illiteracy,
and the other, motion Of Mr.. Hersford, of
West Virginia, to the effect that the free
schools contemplated in the bill need not
necessarily he mixed schools" The last
was adopted by a vote of LA yeas to 80
nays.
The Republicans, in order to get rid of
the last amendment then turned in favor
of one of the substitutes which is not
-amendable, ana the question was at that
stage when the House adjourned. The
final vote will be taken tomorrow.
