Senator johnson spoke at length IN
the United States Senate on Monday iast,
the resolutioa endorsing the acton Of the
President in regard to Louisiana affairs
being befnre that body His arraignment
OF Grant and Sheridan was done up"
in Andy's best style and will make a
profound impression upon the public
mind. All the available space in the
Senate chamber and IN the galleries was
filed by those who were anxious 10 hear
he Senator from Tennessee. The occa-
zion will be remember among the re-
markable events in the history of the
Senate, and viii! be referred t. in com
ing years as ne now refer to ''W ebste r s
reply to Hayne, the best efforts of Clay
in behalf OF the Union, or those of Cali
houn in advocacy Of the rights of the
States.
The gitttakirg prorensities Of Grant
came in for caschir rebuke from the
Senator, AID the effort on the part of the
Executive to provide comfurta bic places
for al his relations WAS not forgotten.
The inference is not difficult that johnson
thinks that rant deserves impeachme Mt
in the name of the people. AID that the
ends Of justice demand it.
The Senator closed his remarks with
an earnest and eloquent appeal in behalf
| OF the constitution AID an honest gov-
eminent, administered within the r.
quIrements Of that Instrument.
How s3atching Sever the speech of
Mr.. Johnson NAV seem, " hen we cun>id
er the subject matter Of it, the Coz clu,
sion is Irresistible that it was tempered
with fully as much moderution as was
allowable, That the vi~wS expressed in
it will be heartily endorsed by all who
! fe + the encroachmeuts of the military
upon the civil arm of the government, We
have no doubt That the course of Mr.
! JOhnsan in the Senate will give satizfuc~
! ton to those who 90 stuutIy aided
| him in the late canvass and t. 3 very
large majority of those who made earn
est tffurts to defeat HIM, We are equally
as sure = hat Tennessee has been heard
! from may now be confidently asserted.

The THsATRE.-There was q very good
audience at the Theatre last evening to wit
ness the amusing performances Of little Miss
Fay aud Mr.. John Templeton. The COM
pauy make no pretensions, but what they do
undertake they do most admirably. In fact,
it is the best company Of its kind and size
that Manager Powell has had at the Theatre
for two years.
Last nights entertainment consisted Of a
musical extravaganza, presented for the
second time in this city, entitled "Lucca'5
Farewell, "in which Fay bad abundant oppor-
tunity of displaying her many accomplish
ments. She assumed the character of LoreBa
Leiderkrantz,-a very familiar character, OF
course-whch only little Fay can sustain,
abounding 10 Dutch songs and dances and
then, afterwards, she is disguised as Pauline
Lucca, the great prima donna. But it Is
useless to sound Fay's praises. She is a
very attractive little creature, and will de-
light all the young folks when they see her
at the matiree on Saturday afternoon. She
is 10 her tenth year, having been born in
Florida in 1865.
The evenings entertainment concluded
with sensation comedy, in three acts. enti-
tied Scuba; or, The Fate of Captain Fry"
Fay did not take part 10 the after.piece, but
the three TempletoDs did; and most accept
ably did they render their parts. Dir. John
TemPleton, who is brimfull of life and fun,
exeelled himself, and acted Persimmon
Cracker, better Joke.Cracker-" from the
wire-grass and piney woods He kept the
house in roar OF laughter, and succeeded
in affording more enjoyment than any come
dian has been able to give in Richmond for
long time.
Tonight Fay will take her benefi', on
which occasion she will present 'Parepa-
Rosa," the balcony scene from Romeo and
Juliet" and "Little Bonanza"

Editors of the Dispatch: 1t was reported
at this office on the morning of the 21st that

was living when taken from the water; and,
as has been the custom for some time back,
the y-almshouse ambulance was called,
