MAKE OVER INTO Goon THEATERS.—A tradition exists among actors and managers that a church converted intoa theater hever succeeds, and many instances which might be cited would seem to sustain it. Here, in Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities theaters have been engrafted on churches. and hardly any one of them has flourished. Som> of them might do well for a season or two, but soon or late they would experience financial dis- aster, The theater (in Broadway nearly oppo- site the New York hotel,) which was formeriy Dr. Osgood’s church of the Messiaa, 15 a striking: illustration of unluckiness. After it had been sold it was turned into a play-house, and ealied Lucy Rushton’s theater; but it was speedily closed for want of patronage. Then it passed into other hands, receiving a new name. and again succumbed to adverse fortune.

Yesterday the District Commissioners tssued twenty-one commissions as special policemen to watchmen in the Treasury department. The purpose is to give these Watchmen the same powers for arrest as are granted the police. END OF THE DEAD-LOCK AT THE TREASURY. The District Commissioners stated this morn- ing that all differences between the District au- thorities and the United States Treasury de- partment have been adjusted. The First Con- | troller is satisfied that the manner of rendering accounts heretofore—namely: every quarter—ts the legal and correct way, and the requisition | withheld by that department will be honored toalay, The other matter as to holding the ; Commissioners individually responsible as dis- | bursing officers of the United States, is In statuo quo, and probably a legal opinion of the Attor- ney General will have to determine it. This, however, does not affect the dead-lock. 5 Controller Porter to-day granted the Com- missioners a requisition tor $353,000, He Says the whole subject will be adjusted in a short ume amicably to both sides, BIDS FOR BUNKS for the new workhouse were opened to-day, as follows: C. hneider & Sons, $1,444 32: White & Bro., $1 6.
