The Southwest Pass.

Daring the late bar blockade at this
point the action Of the T0wbOas Associa-
ton in the matter was such that, as soon
as the bar was clear, Major Howell decided
to send the dredge boats EssayOno and Nc
Alester around to Pascal 'Outre, and there
keep them until he had ship channel al
that point. This he feels confident of OBJ
tanning a. an early day, as will be seen
by referring TO his letter in the REPUBLICAN
a few days since. In the meantime, since
leaving the Southwest Pass the bar has
filled in from depth Of nineteen to that of
fifteen feet at high water.
This is serious state Of affairs, there be-
Minnesota on the bar, and several others
outside bound in. In fact the condition is
80 bad that several of our leading steam
ship agents waited upon Major Howell yes
terday for the purpose of obtaining the
temporary aid at least OF one of the dredge-
boats at the Southwest Pass. Ii 10 safe to
say that these gentlemen represented three
fourths Of the tonnage that comes to this
port yearly, and we are inclined to believe
that their request will be complied with
The suit of the meeting thus far obtained
was that could satisfactory arrangements
be made with the towboat association SO
that each might work in harmony, Major
Howell would be only too glad 60 aid our
suffering commerce. In this the associa-
tion have acquiesced and we hope to-day
to hear that one OF the boats is on her way
toward the Southwest Pass.
The situation of the steamship Minnesota
is q try ing one to those interested, she being
in very shoal water and having full com
plement Of passengers, whose complaints
are doubtless very wearing upon the ears
Of the captain.
The steamship Yasoo, from Philadelphia,
lies outside. bound in, drawing seventeen
feet six inches fore and aft. Captain Yorke,
her agent, has telegraphed to the owners to
know if they are inclined to bear the ex-
pense of lightering, az he eonsiders it too
great to take the responsibility upon him
self, and very little prospect of getting the
ship in for soiue time TO come.
10 times like these, when We need ten-
mage 80 badly, all interested should set
about to break down all existing feuds, and
work in harmony to accomplish the one
great eRd--encouragement to commerce.

NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1873.
Cancellation Of Ofscial Bonds.

Act No. IS OF 1873. approved on the
twenty4ixth Of March. is intended to do
away with unnecessary costs and expenses
in the canceling of official bonds. II au-
thorizes the Governor to annul, on applica-
ton any official bond given for an Office
which has been vacated, in case no objec-
ton thereto is filed in the office OF the Sec
retary of State within one hundred and
twenty days. The question having arisen
as to the retroactive character of the law,
the following correspondence ensued, from
which it will be seen that the new law will
not go into practical effect until ene hun
dred and twenty days from the date OF its
approval March l6, 1879. If between Aow
and the expiration of that term no objeo-
tions are filed in the Office OF the Secretary
of State, the Governor can cancel all OUT
standing bonds 5or expired Offices

Wednesday night last tho Varieties The
atre was the scene of quiet dramatic tri-
umph on the part of our oldest and leading
amateur dramatic club. We say quiet
triumph, for the play of "MerchsRt OF
Venice" 10 oar thinking, scarcely admits of
any efforts at making points OF straining
after stage effect. At the same time the
But few even Of our best theatres could
produce cas-! as strong as that which we
now append:
Mr. Joe Given as Duke OF Venice, G. II.

as Gratiano, b. H. Wilson as Salarno, G.

Miss Jennie Drew rs Jessica
Ar. Braughn in the first tive aets sp-
pesred depressed by severe cold, but in
the third act he recovered himself, and
throughout the remainder Of the piece dis
PLAYED a ferce OF delinestion and an artistic
conception Of the character Of Skylock that
deserves high commendation. Mr.. d. c.
Johnston Sssayed the difficult role ef
La4Rcelof Go65O. His characterization
evinced q constitutions study of the part,
and vas quite pleasing, particularly in this
regard thaS 1t was not oveIdone. Mr.
Cowan, as AntopsiO, and MIR. O'Nrill, ss
GratidHO, were noticeably good. MIR.
1hdyer amply sustained bis prestige as
BaSSdaiO, while AIR Given, as thr DAke Of
Vsa,Sce, ana Mr.. John Stumpf Jr., as Otd
GobbO, acted quite well.
Of the ladies, Miss Louisa Hawthorne,
as Por!S, showed herself leading lady Of
rare ability. Miss Srankie Mcclellan, as
NerisSa demonstrated that in securing her
serVIces ioT the sunmef OnP amateur clubs
have done wise thing. Mise Jennie Drew
deserves more shaa passing meRrton OF

Altogether, the performance was msst
Snjoyn bio. The club has yell sustained its
high reputation, and we venture 20 say that
there is u" one of tho xast audience of in
