MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, The dull monotony of the theatrical summer sea- son'in this city was slightly varied last week by a gentle ruffling of dramatic novelty at three or four of our princtpal theatres; but tnis was only the harbinger of the particularly brilliant constellation or dramatic “stars,” which, per announcements on flaming fposters, is to illumine the theatrical heavens in this vicinity during the present week. At Booth’s theatre Mr. Joseph Jefferson, one of the greatest ana most popular of American come- dians, this evening commences @ seven weeks’ en- gagement, appearing in his great spectalty of “Rip Van Winkle.”” The piece will be produced with all the adjuncts of new scenery and new costumes, and will furthermore enjoy the advantages of a strong cast— the best in many respects that it hasever before been favored with in this city. It is fully two years since Mr. Jefferson appeared before a New York au- dience in the character of the lazy, sleepy “Rup,’’ whose twenty years nap in the Catskills has been immortalized in story by Washington Irving, and served up to us in dramatic shape by Mr. Dion Bou- cicault. During that time Mr. Jefferson, it 1s almost needless to add, has not permitted himself to become clogged with the rust of indolence, nor even care- less with success, but has upon the contrary con- tinued to study to please, and since his last appear- ance in the metropolis has played a series of long and brilliant engagements ia the principal cities of the Union, everywhere drawing immense audiences and meeting with the hearty recognition -which his talents deserved. Mr. John E. Owens, another brilliant ‘‘star” of the American svage, makes his bow at Wallack’s theatre this evening for the first time before the playgoers of this city as John Unit in Mrs. Sidney F. Bateman’s American comedy of ‘‘Self.” This piece was frst brought out in this city by Mr. William Burton, in 1867, but, owing to the general depression of theatri- cal affairs at that time all over the country, the piece did not meet with any marked success and was withdrawn after a few representations, since which time it has never been revived in this vicinity. Since then, however, Mr. Owens, who purchased the sole right to the play, has achieved a briliiamt suc- cess in his impersonation of Jonn Unit, a self- opinionated old banker, in Cincinnati, St. Louis and other Western cities. The itselr is a satirical thrust, from first to last, at the fash- donable follies of the day, and is a brief story of the trials and tribulations of a family belonging to the “shoddy aristocracy.” For New Yorkers at least the piece possesses all the novelty of a new sensa- tion, and with such actors in the cast as Mr. John E. Owens, Mr. W. RK. Floyd, Mr. Oliver Dowd and B. T. Ringgold, and such actresses as Miss Annie De- land and Miss EMe Germon it will doubtless now prove an Immense attraction. At Niblo’s Garden the timely revival of Mr. Boucl- cault’s great sensational drama of “Arrab-ni ie”? will not by any means be the least attractive of the dramatic events of the evening. It 1s some five or six years since this drama was first produced at this establishment, and its revival now cannot fatl to prove beneficial in many respects to the. gene- ral public, and more _ particular; the patrons of this theatre, after nearly a three years’ surfeit of the short-skirted glories of ballet and bur- lesque. The drama will be brought out with all the accessories of new scenery and new costumes, the old stuff which was used in its representation years ago being in such a dilapidated condition as to pe entirely unfit for further service. The cast will be exceedingly strong, Mr. Dan Bryant being specially engaged to play the part of Shaun the Post, and Mr. Dominick Murray that of Feeny, the informer, a character that ne impersonated with such force and ability in London as to subject him night after night to the unqualified hisses of his auc ces, Misa Rose Eytinge assumes the rdle of Arrah, and Miss Josephine Fiddes that of Fanny Power. The Worrell Sisters—Sophie and Jennie—will tn- tgoduce their new operatic burlesque of “| Kn’? to the public for the first time this evening at Wood's Museum. Tbis burlesque was originally produced in London, but as performed by the Wor- Tall, Sisters will enjoy the advantages of a thorough ag and localization at be = 3 of Mr. min er, stage manager at the Museum. The'plece will be brought out with new scenery, new costumes, &c., and the vivacious sisters will be sup- ported te the full strength of the regular stock coi pany of the establishment. The afternoon programme at the Museum for the present week has likewise un- dergone @ change, and now presents sach attractions ¢ drama of “Peep-Show-Man” and the farce of “The Founding.” At the Grand Opera House ‘East Lynne” has been 5 revived “‘by request” for “five — only,”’ with Miss Lucilie Western in her it dual character of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine, her with the rest of the a a8 produced at this theatre some two weeks ago. next Saturday evening “Lucretia Borgia” ‘Handy Andy"—an ex ingly pow: erful but lil-assorted team—will be produced at this gorgeous establishment. The Olympte theatre stili rejoices in the dumb but mirth provoking antics and capers of “Hiccory Diceory-Fox,” and the graceful saitatorial gyrations of the high-kicking Kiralfys, What with the non- sense of the tomime and the “light fantastic’’ manceuvres of the corps de ballet, the large audiences are every night worked up toa fearful state of en- Joyable exciiement despite the hot weather. he Old Bowery this week offers the east side play- goers suficient inducements to prevent them from ‘subsiding into a state of dramatic drowsiness. The imdefatigabie Poole bas come to the rescue with a new drama, entitied; “Jerry Le Drew, the Jack Sheppard of America.” Miss Kate Fisher, who sus- tains the principal character in this new Sensation, will also personate Nan in “The Good For Nothing.’ Tony Pastor's Opera House, renovated, redecorated and otherwise improved, opens this evening for the regular season with many new attractions and an augmented company. A new drama, entitied “The Champion of Ireland, or the Dead Boxer,” witt be the principal ip vane a the evening's entertainmen: ‘The Central Park Garden continues to be throngs with the lovers of good music. For the present week an excellent programme 1% offered, and on Friday evening next, which occasion will mark the one hundredth concert this season, Mr. Theodore Thomas, the popalar leader of the orchestra, will take lis Grst benefit. At Hooley’s Opera House, Brookiyn, the custo- mary minstrel entertainment will be given during the Week, The minstrel troupe has been reinforced by the Butler pantomimic troupe, and bork together will probably prove sadicient to amuse the Whole of Brooklyu.

THE MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT RIOT. Six Men Killed=Nearly all the Arrested. (Rock Island, I1., (Jnly 29), correspondence Chicago Republican.) A horrible affray occurred on the steamer Dubuque after leaving this city this forenoon, which terminated in the kiiling of two negroes (deck hands) and one raftsman, and the badly wounding of two or three others. As near asican learn the trouble originated as follows:--Fifty raftamen came on board the boat at Davenport, and the clerk ordered two of the negro deck hands to stand guard at the gangway while he assortea the deck from the cabin passengers, and not to allow any one to pass without his permission. One of the raftemen tried to pass this guard and make his way to the cabin, when the deck hands ordered him back unui! his ticket was examined by the clerk. He, not liking this, commenced pitching into the deck hands, who re the beat of him, when the raftsmen, to the num- Of over one hundred, came to his rescue, stab- bing and beating the two deck hands until about dead, threw them into the river and made an assault on the rest of the deck crew, succeeding in killing three more of them and throwing their bodies into the river. Oneof the raftsmen was also killed in the mélée, making six in all killed. As soon a8 Hampton was reached Captain Rhodes landed the boat, when the raftsmen drove the deck crew ashore, injuring several of them with stones. As soon as {t was over they went aboard the boat and ordered the captain to proces up the river or they would burn his boat, He being in their power, and fearing they would carry their threat into exe- cution, headed the boat up stream, and tn the mean- time telegraphed to the Sheriff hers, who chartered an eXtra train_and left with a jarge force of men well armed, They overtook the boat at Clinton, and mene took possession of her and started for 8 city, ' On their arrival here there were 6,000 people on the river bank, together with the crew who were ‘riven off the boat, and with their and other por- tions of the crew's assistance (hey succeeded in re- cognizing forty-two of (he men, who were taken to Jail under a strong guard. A large force 18 posted about the jail and no further trouble is expected, ‘The city is full of raftsmen who cvme ashore; but an extra force of policemen has been stationed about the city, and itis thought all will be quiet tor the ight, “An examination will probably take plave to- morrow.

THE POLITICAL FIGHT IN TENNESSEE, Andy Johnson’s Prospects for the Senatorship. WASHINGTON, August 1, 1669, Another Heavy Reduction in the Debt. The public debt statement, to be published to- morrow, will show a further reduction of about $7,260,000, Additional Purchase of Five-Twenties. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has instructed the As- sistant Treasurer at New York to purchase $2,008,000 of ffve-twenties @ week during the month of Au- gust, the first purchase to be made Wednesday, August 4, These purchases are in addition to the purchase for the sinking fund of $1,000,000 of bonds on alternate weeks. Rumors Regarding ro For a few days there has been a rumor prevalent here that our government would soon grant bellige- rent rights to the Cubans, Some people pretended to be so positively informed on the subject as to be willing to risk all the money tn their possession on @ wager that Secretary Fish would concede belligerent rights within ten days. The prevalence of this rumor was due to the reported Cabinet discussion on the subject, but 1 am informed the matter has not been before the Cabinet for three or four weeks at least, and that not the slightest change in the policy of the administration has since then occurred. There is, therefore, no ground for the belief that our government will act favorably towards the Cubans within the short period mentioned. The simple truth is, the entire subject so far as our govern- ment is concerned remains unchanged. Taxing Government Bonds Held Abroad. The subject of taxing government bonds held by foreigners or people who reside abroad is now occupying the attention of some tnfluential mem- bors of Congress, and it is quite likely that at the next session a bill to secure that end will be Intro- duced in both Houses. The idea is that when coupons of such bonds held by parties residing - abroad are presented for payment the proposed tax can be deducted, and that such deduction is only equitable, considering the fact that all holders in this country are thus taxed while foreigners escape the burden entirely. ° The President’s Views on the Mississippi Cone test. A prominent conservative republican from Missis- sippl, who had an interview with the President on Thursday in regard to political affairs in that State, informed the President that the only desire of the conservative republicans was neutrality on the part of the administration in the approaching election. The President is represented as replying that he wished for the success of the party which would in good faith carry out the reconstruction acts, ratify the fifteenth article of amendment to the constitution of the United States and give protection to life and property in Mississippi. He wanted tw know whether the former enemies of the government were acting in good fath ijn their present professions of loyaity, and said that this would soon be ascertained in part by the action of the conservative. republicans in Virginia. If they were acting in good faith he would be glad to have not only the intelligence and Influence of that State, but of the South generally, in support of his admin- istration, The President inquired at what time the conservative republicans would nominate tneir can- didates, and when informed that 1t would probably be about the lst of September, he replied that ne would see what kind of a ticket they would put in the field, and his action would be influenced more or less by subsequent events and the course of affairs in the South. He added that he desired to sec the payment of the public debt secured, and the integ- rity and honor of the nation rendered inviolate, and when this was accomplished he would be satisfied. The Contest in Tennessee—Seuter’s Praspects. Mr. J. J. Noah, of Tennessee, arrived here last evening. He reports that Senter’s majority in the forthcoming gubernatorial contest will probably reach 40,000, being in excess of that of Grant and Colfax at the last election, He says that the course of Governor Boutwell and the Postmaster General in endorsing Stokes to the detriment of party interest ts universally de- nounced by a majority of the radical element of the State, who consider that Stokes should have been advised to withdraw in the early part of the cam- paign and agcept the United States Senatorship, which had been tendered to him at the time the nom- inating convention assembled. He represents Stokes as privately conducting his canvass in a manner peculiarly offensive to all Northern men, whom he denounces as carpet-baggers, and threatens to drive outof the State. These men comprise the ruling element of the liberal radical wing, and are nearly all ex-federal soldiers. Mr. Noah explains the position of Senator Brownlow on the franchise question as being one of no recent date and one which is in perfect accord with the various enact- ments of Congress. Stokes having always pitted himself unsuccessfully against Brownlow for his po- sitions as Governor and Senator, it is quite natural the Parson has no great amount of interest in his success, Governor Sentes proved his support of the Union by lingering months inside of prison walls, where he was incarcerated by the rebels for his Union sentiments at a pertod when Stokes, in his famous Duncan letter, was doing his best to encour- age secession, and offering his services in the Con- federate cause, With regard to the probability of @ democratic majority in the Legisiature, Mr. Noah contends that this by no means foreshadows the election of Andrew Johnson as as Senator Fowler's successor, although the ex-Pre- sident will undoubtedly make a vigorous effort to secure it, The probabilities are that many of the so-called democrats will return to tneir former places in the old line whig party, and consequently the balance of power will rest with the republicans. Mr. Emerson Etheridge will be a prominent contest- ant for the Senatorship, and is already being pressed with great vigor. He is now running for the State Senate, with a certainty of success, Whatever dis- astrous consequences result fo the republican party in Tennessee may be attributed to the selfish am- bition of Congressman Stokes, who, like Bottom, of Shakspearian fame, wants to play ail the parts, and will after this contest have to content himself with “roaring a8 gently asa sucking dove.” Mr. Noah has been participating in the canvass of Alabama and reports the probable success of five out of six of the republican nominees for Congress, the Hunts- ville district being the only one indoubt, In Missis- sippt he reports great strength in the Dent move- mont, which is daily on the increase, Clubs are being formed in the interest of his nomination, at the head of which are found men of high standing who have hitherto kept aloof from politics. It is not generally believed in Mississippi that the Prest- dent will interfere either personally or by the aid of the federal patronage tn favor of or against the success of this movement, Return of Governor Wella—A Rosy View of Political Matters in Virginia, Governor Wells reached Richmond to-day, having been absent since the result of the election became positively known.

The Governor was Waited upon by a few of his radical friends, to whose inquiries ag to whether there was anything to be hoped for from the action of the Presl- dent or Congress, he returned rather gloomy and despondent answers. He said he had not seen the President nor had he been to Washing- ton, but that the general tendency of optnioa among republicans in the Nortn was unfavorable to the recogn ition of the Walker party. He considers that the solution of pending questions in relation to Virginja would be arrived at by a refusal on the part of General Canby to issue his proclamation declaring the result of the election until the meeting of Con- Gress. He expressed the hope that Congress would then delay action until too late in the session, and that the réconstruction of the State under the Walker auspices would therefore be thrown over into the next session and thereby the present officials of the State government would be continued in control of atatrs, The Governor thus figures out on @ rather too Atberal scale Dis own official safety and that of his particuiar friends, Hedid not, however, appear to be either enthusiastic or quite as hopeful as his janguage seemed to indicate. This programme is now the only reliance of the defeated carpet-bag aspirants, and they will make every effort to have it carned out £o the letter, Heavy Steck Subscription to a Virginia Rail- road.

Letnk & Co., of Phitadelptia, offered to subscrioe, and did suoscribe, to $7,000,000 stock of the road; but, in consequence of the failure of the firm to com- ply with certain conditions required by. the presi- dent and directors of the road, the spbacription was annulled. These conditions were that the company required Leink & Co, to pay the debts of the com- pany, amounting to about $25,000, immediately, or to deposit in some institution in Danville an amount suMcient to pay the debts when duly audited. Leink & Co. alleged that their instructions would not allow them to do either, and 80 the whole matter dropped. The Exchan; f Bonds.

ANOTHER LAND JOB. A New Wry to Obtain Land Grants—A Rail- road Company Effects the Withdrawal of 115,000,000 Acres of Public Lands. P WASHINGTON, July 26, 1869. What a history might be written of the thousand large claims of different characters now pending in the Interior Department! It 13 seldom that the out- side world can obtain @ knowledge of the character of any, except from outside parties who are interest- ed and who will only state their side of the case, The people are led to believe that swindles of any great dimensions are only perpetrated on the government during the sessions of Congress and that during the recess the lobbyists and rings"? absent themselves from the city. Such, however, is not the case. The log rolling is done and tne bilis passed when Congress is in session to enable questions to be settled and payments to be made, when necessity for action in particular di- rections shall arise. Tous in an innocent dress many outrageous swindles are legalized by Congress and the President, without suspicion of thelr enor- mity. During the vacation of Congress the case is quietly worked up; the moncy is patd by an efficer duly authorized by a legal technicality, and pocketed by the fortunate jobber, who goes off chuckling to himself at his smartness. On the 27th of July, 1866, Congress passed the act granting lands and charter tothe Atlantic and Pa- cific Railway Company. A short section (the eigh- teenth) was smuggled into this act, and the same grants and franchises as were allowed the Atlantic and Pacific were extended to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of California. Let us see what they are. Under the provisions of an act of the California lature, entitied ‘An act to provide for the in- corporation of raliroad companies and the manage- ment of the affairs thereof, and other matters relating Fe ays! 3 approved May 20, 1861, the company was formed. By this law authority is given to any number of persons, not less than ten, being subscribers, &c., to adopt articles of association, wherein they are re- quired to state “the piace to and from which the pro road is to be constructed, the counties into and through which it is intended to pass, and the length a8 Rear as may be.’’ Authority ts also given by this law to change the route, provided the change does not avoid any point named in the articles of association. A map was duly filed, | the road as follows:—From some point on the Bay of San Francisco, in the State of California, through the counties of Santa Clara, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Tulare, Los Angelos and San Diego, to the town of San Diego, in said State, thence eastward, through the said county of San Diego, to the eastern line of said State of California, there to connect with a con- templated railroad from said eastern line of the State of California to the Mississippi river. Upon their complying with the law the company was legally granted a charter November 29, 1565, and appiica- tion was made to Congress within a month thereaf- ter for @ land grant, based upon the map of the above route. Ag stated the grant was smuggled through in the Atlantic and Pacitic act. And now the villany commenced, A_ visit to the designated sections develo; the fact that aiand grant upon that line would be of little value. At some points It would extend ten miles or more into the Pacific Ocean. Miles of other portions were either wholly takéh up by actual pre-emptors or Mexican grantees, and most of the balance extended through desert regions which could not benefit the company. The stockbolders, eleven in number, put their heads together and concocted a scheme, the partial success of which wili now be seen. Through the valleys in the eastern portion of the Siate a large amount of valuable lands lay unoccupied. To get possession of these and ignore the real grant ‘Was the consideration, but it could only be accom- pitshed by a desperate stroke of policy. A false map was prepared, papers, &c., drawn up, and. the ciaim for their grant flied in the Interior Depart- ment. Without examination of any kind, Secretary Browning, on the 19th of March, 1867, ordered with- drawn from the market, for the savisfaction of this Sak 7 of land stretching from josé ~to ~Fort Mohave, on the eastern border of the State, The withdrawal embraced a belt of country aixty miles in width by 600 in length, containing 5,' townships, or more than 115,000,000 acres of the most valuable ate ee was a surprise to everybody. e comps given no cine of a contemplated change of their Toute, and there was no law upon the statutes au- thorizing it. The wrong action was brought to the notice of Secretary Browning. On the 14th of Juty, 1868, he, in a lengthy decision given after a thorough examination, ordered a revocation of the with- drawal and that the lands be restored to market. ‘The following extract will show the light in whicn he regarded the swindie:— ‘The State law required the corporations to fix the place from and to which the proposed road was to be coonructery and the counties through which it was intended to pass. This was done—the starting point being from some point on the Bay of San Francisco, and the fret county through which it ta Clara. No authority is conferred to construct the road through counties to the north of it leaving out of view the fact that at th ‘4 railroad company, created by F the same 7, had then a railroad constructed and in ope! the narrow peninsula, which oxtends from Sen Jone to San Fran- cefurther than this, other portions of the route as designated do not conform to law. The line does not touch the counties of Ban Luis Obispo, Loe Angelos and San Diego. 1a fact the same does not go to within something like 150 miles of the town of Sao Diego, # point at which the road fs required to for nod from which ft isto aiart to the eastern line of the State, there to connect with the Atiantic and Pacific Raiload, Upon representation of General W. S. Rosecrans, a director, holding 720 shares of the stock, that, un. der the belief that the withdrawal was legal, they had incurred obligations in Making surveys, &c., amount- 000,000; that they had bulit eighty-two and that they did not know of any fetention to review the action of withdrawing the lands till too late to avert it, the Secretary,on August 20, 1868, suspended the revocation, to allow them to prepare and present additional evidence in the case. Acopy ofthe sworn annual report of the com- .pany—as required by law of Congress of June 25, 1868—was then torwarded to Secretary Browning. It was dated September 25, 1868, and brands the financial statement of General Kosecrans as entrely wrong, It says the company’s capital stock ts fixed at $1,800,000, of which only $72,000 had been paid in; that they “expected to have thirty miles of road — vetween San Jo: nd Gtiroy—bulit by next Apri” (1869), and that the actual cost of surveys, &c., Up to date had becg $1,520 60. It further statey Muat no other portion of the road was or in rune ning order; that no smeunts bet Chonda from or for shat imearred in or opsrating the same. It goes on to say that no surveys tad been made be- yond the thirty and that of @ paid-in capital of $72,000 they issued bonds amounting to 0D} was actually “the Omnibus Railroad bill; but the trick failed with the bill itself. un July 6 (instant), the whole subject was’ takem ‘Secretary of the Interior an® thoroughly examined.
