OBES ted EN feathers and put on their flercest war paint in honor of Old Hickory’s glorious victory; but now the day they then celebrated with so much enthusiasm is suffered to pass by with- outa solilary toxe» of remembrance or re- cognition, What is the meaning of all this? ‘Has the immortal Jackson ceased to be a patron gaint in the democratic calendar? ote New York ‘Theatres. Fora short time previous to Christmas and New Years the purchase of holiday gifts inter- fered somewhat with the habits of our theatre- goers, although during the holidays the little people joyously thronged the Olympic and the ¢ircus, and (he other places of dramatic enter- tainment were filled by the strangers within our gates, With the opening year the familiar faces of the Aaditucs of the different theatres are now to be recognized at each of their favorite resorts, The revival of business has quickened the circulation of money, and the monthly returas of the theatres will be largely augmented. It is but just to add that their usual attractions have boon largely increased. Moreover, the remarkable success of the brief Shakspeare revival not long ago at Niblo’s, and of the series of sterling old English comedies at Wallick’s, has encouraged some of the managers to provide for the unmistak- able demund of the public for the novel aad the “legitimate.” Wuile the spectacular mag- nificence of the “Black Crook” at Niblo’s, and the fascinations of English blondes at Wood’s, and the pantomime surprises of ‘Wee Willie Winkie” at the Olympic, and opéra bouffe, with its quartet of Silly, Aime, Persini and Monta- Tand, at the Grand Opera, and the ‘‘burlesques of burlesques” at Bryani’s and the San Fran- cisco Miustre!s and at Tony Pastor’s continue to draw crowded houses, and the other minor theatres are doubling their attractions, the taste of the most thongtfil belonging to the culti- vated classes has been consulted by the managers to whom we have alluded. The prodizious success of ‘‘Saratoga” at Daly’s—a sparkiing, mirthful and thoroughly American produciion—which, if it must be classed rather with the ‘‘folies dramatiques” lately so popular in Paris than with legitimate comedies, has, nevertheless, much in common with the best of them, must indi- cate alike to managers and playwrights what a rich dramatic mine may be opened here upon our native soil. Wallack himself might learn that, eagerly as the towa flocks to every new piece which he brings out with consummate skill and taste, something better is expected at his theatre than such an empty canvas in an exquisite frame as more than one of his recent importations trom London. With his excellent stock company he could unfailingly satisfy the most exacting by producing novel- ties of the highest quality. Yachtman as he is, why should not he carry more sail? It is rumored that Miss Glyn, the English tragédienne, whose personation of Cleopatra was applauded by so competent critics as Bul- wer Lytton and Charl’s Dickens, has made an engagement soon to appear at an uptown theatre. Maris Seebach has returned to New York and made her appearance at the Stadt Theater last evening. Last evening also Edwin Booth was welcomed home at his ewn theatre in the réle of Richelieu. A large and fashionable audience, which, it must be ad- mitied, seemed more critical than enthusiastic, was present. All admired the splendid setting of the finest of Bulwer Lytton’s plays. 4 is @afe to say that from the time when Macready and Miss Faucit appeared in it at its first representation in 1839 it has never been put upon the stage so magnificently. And alihongh the spectators rarely appeared to be thrilled by Mr. Booth’s presentation of the various phases of “a character worth dramatizing well”—an old statesman full of ambition, love for Franee, a deep sense of justice ; ‘adding to the craft of the fox touches of tenderness for his orphan ward; to sharp, worldly insight a dry humor and genial sympathy with youth, and to subtle wit a defiant courage, not to mention his amusing literary vanity—yet all agreed that the careful dramatic painting by the author was elaborately reproduced by the actor, and that Mr. Booth’s ‘‘Richelieu” must be ranked by his admirers as second only to his ‘‘Hamlet” or even to his ‘“fago.” With such attractions as we have thus briefly specified our opening theatrical year abounds in promise, And if it shall only bring to us Nilsson and the Italian opera it will long be memorable in the annals of otr New York stage. Comine Our ror tHe Demooracy.—Cassius M., Clay, ef Kentucky, who has filled consid- erable space in the history of the anti-slavery agitation in this country, and who is well kuewn. as the American Miuister at the Ceurt of St. Petersburg under the Lincoln administration, has renounced republicanism and come out flat-footed for the democracy. This he did in @ speeci: recenily delivered in Madison county, Kentucky. But what do the democracy of Kentucky need of new converts? Why don’t Cassius try his hand at making democratic proselytes in some down East State—say Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire or Massa- chusetts—where democratic converts are very much needed, and thereby answer an appeal many times before made io the same quarter— “Help us, Cassius, or we sink?” Sinavtar Casz oF PortmoaL DiseNtomn- MENT.—The Cincinnati Commercial states that “there is more talk of presenting Vailandigham as the democratic candidats for United States Senator from Ohio than is pleasing to the conservatives of the party.” The democracy of Ohio must be hard pressed for a candidate if they have to dig up a political fossil like Valiandigham, who has been so quiet lately that it was generally supposed he had been politically entombed forever, But there are ‘jumping jacks” in every parity who cannot be kept down, but pop up their heads when- ever there isan opening or a trap sprung. After all perhaps the much abused Vallandig- ham may be as honest and as available as most Ohio politicians of the democratic school.

Senator Sumner’s wish in regard to the cor- respondence between Mr. Motley and the State Department was gratified yesterday by the transmission of such correspondence to the Senate, It is published in our columns this morning, but whether Mr. Motley or his friends can derive any pleasure or advantage from seeing it in print is not very plain tous. The despatches from Mr. Secretary Fish, while preserving all the form of diplomatic polite- ness, place the recall of Mr. Motley on its true ground—a failure to conform to the instruc- tions of the Siate Department. The ordinary proceedings ef the Senate yes- terday were of an uninteresting character, being chiefly confined to the discussion of a bill codifying the laws in regard te the Mint, The propriety of making a charge for convert- ing bullion into coin was assailed by the Sena- tors from the Pacific slope, and finally a sort of compromise was reached in the reduction of that charge from one-half to three-tenths of one per cent, During the morning hour in the House a variety of propositions were introduced and referred to appropriate committces, Among them was a bill, introduced by Mr. Jenckes, to regulate the manner of making appointments in the public service. It is the same measure substantially as that which he bas been vaialy pressing on the Hous» for seme years past, except that it is confined to the regutation of appoiatments and makes no prevision as to the tenure of office. A resolution offered by Mr. Kellogz, of Connecticut, was adopted, instrueting the Committee of Ways and Means to report a bill repealing the income tax. The various propositions now pending before the two houses or their committees on the subject of ocean telegraphs were, on motion of Mr. Starkweather, referred to 9 select committee of five Senaters and aight ‘Fepresentatives, Subsequent to the adoption of the resolution Mr. Wood, who, as « member of the Commiltee on Fereign Affairs, had charge of that same subject, waked up to the meaning of the pro- position, and tried to have it reconsidered; but the deor was closed. Notice, however, was afierwards given by Mr. Banks, chairman of that committee, that he would at the first op- poriunity move to rescind the resolution; and so, for the time being, the sub- ject is suspended in the position of Mohammed's cofin. The Air-line Railroad bill, for a new road between Washington and this city, which, at last session, found its way to the Speaker’s table because it was not engrossed at the right moment, was revived by a motion to suspend the rules and pass it ; but before the readiag of the bill was finished the moraing hour expired, and the bill went over till Monday next. The remainder of the day was occupied in the attempt to take frem the Speaker's table and pass the Senate joint resolution for the appointment of commissioners to the republic of Dominica, This required a majority of two to one. It failed twice, the vote being, first, one hundred and twenty-one to sixty-twe, and the second time, one hundred and thir- teen to sixty-seven, neither being a two- thirds majority. The solid democratic vote in the negative was made effectual by the support, in the first instance, of seven republican members—Messrs, Ambler, Beatiy, Boyd, Finkelnburg, Hoar, Peters and Willard—who were reinforced in the second iastance by five other republicans—Messrs, Asper, Farnsworth, Fitch, Hawkins and Shanks. Under these repulses Mr. Orth, who had charge of tho matter, yielded his ex!reme position, which was to pass the joint resoln- tion witheut amendment and without discus- sion, and lowered his demand to a simple taking up of the meagure, opening it to amend- ment and permitting the discussion to go on until two o'clock to-day. With that modifica- tion of the eriginal demand the rules were suspended—one hundred and twenty-one to fifty-eight—and tie Senate joint reselution taken from the Speaker's table and brought before the House. Mr. Fernando Wood made asolemn speech against the measure, and the discussion is to go on for a couple of hours to-day at the rate of ten minutes’ allowance to each member. The only amend- ment permitted to be offered was one drawn by Mr. Amb'er, a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, declaring that the passage of the resolution is not to be held, understood or construed as committing Congress to the policy of annexing the republic of Dominica. The objection to this or to any other amend- ment is that it would require the matter to be sent back to the Senate, thereby necessitating the delay which it is so desirable to avoid. It may, therefore, be taken for granted that the amendment will be rejected, and that before the adjournment to-day the joint resolution | will bo pissed, a simple majority being all that is requisite, and sent to the President for his signature. No delay need be apprehended in’ that quarter, and within a day or two the com- missioners will be on board a United States vessel bound for the bay of Samana, Tne Irtse Exies,—Tammany is making great arrangements for the reception of the Fenian exiles, St. Patrick’s Day in the morn- ing will offer no parallel to the immense turn- out of enthusiastic Irishmen on the arrival of the Cuba next week to welcome the return of those who have suffered so long and so much for the cause of Irish independence. Large contributions are flowing into the fund for the reception, and the committee have very wisely decided to retain 8 large amount for distribu- tion to the exiles themselves after the recep- tion is over. It is well not to waste all in one or two days’ display. Give the unfortunate fel- lows not only a warm reception, but a good start in the life which they are to commence ever azain, after the death of three years’ im- prisonment, Toe Great Cuartry Batt at the Academy of Music this evening will be the most stylish affair of the season on a grand scale.

Tus Women’s Rigurers are to have a hear- ing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, when Miss Anthony, Mra. Wood- hull and several other prominent politicans of that sex will show that there is no need of a woman suffrage omendmeat because the women already have the right to vote. In that case we do not see why they need agitate the subject so much, How the Black Republican Trombone” Nibbleth at tho Municipal Cheese. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.—-Mat- thew, vil, 5, We heartily dislike and disapprove of per- sonal quarrels among newspaper people being ventilated in public. There is plenty of room in abig and growiog city and country like ours for respectable newspapers to obtain a hand- some living without baving recourse to per- sonal abuse of one another. This vituperation is not only ridiculous in itself, but is caleulated to impair the usefulness and influence as well as the pecuniary gains of every journal which shall allow itself to be engaged in such profit- less discussions. But as the black republican Zrombone in this city has made certain broad charges about the Herarp receiving subsidies from the clty gevernment we propose to show, while we deny in toto the T'rombone’s state- ments about the HEratp, that the 7’rombone itself, like a sleek black republican rat, has been quietly nibbling im a corner for the past three years generous slices from the rich municipal cheess, The following is an ab- stract from official records: — STATEMENT SHOWING THE AMOUNTS PAID THE TROM- BONE ASSOCIATION OR ADVERTISING FoR THE VANIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT DURING TUB YEARS 1868, 1560 AND 1s70. During the year 1863, 13,863 48 95 00 873 60 During the yeur 1869 During the year 1870. Total from city government.. Total from county, 1869. ‘Total from county, 1870 Grand total ....se0.seeeeseeees Thus it will be seen that while the Z'rom- bone bas been blowing its blasts upon its con- temporaries for receiving pay from the city government it has during the past three years pocketed the pretty little sum of over twenty- nine thousand dollars from the very sources itself pronounces venal and corrupt. Of this twenty-nine thoasand dollars the sum of $8,760 24 was disputed and disallowed by the democratic city government, and was obtained by the Z'rombone Association by being smug- gled into the tax levy of 1868—(see page 2,017, volume 2, laws of that year)—when the black republican 7'rombone’s political friends had control of the State Legislature. In other words, the sum of nearly nine thousand dollars was clandestinely secured at Albany by tie Z'rombone Association on a bill that the gov- ernment of the city of New York—which ought to have been and no doubt was properly posted in regard to the matter—had positively disallowed and ignored. Here is honesty with a vengeance! Here is strarghtforward- ness in a business transaction that would in former days have made a cracksman or high- wayman blush, but in these degenerate times only impels its perpetrator to cry ‘Mad dog” or “Step thief” against its neighbors. Lite- rally this is the Zrombone seeing the mote in its brother’s eye, heeding not the beam in its own. Now, so far as @e Heraxp is concerned, it is well knewn that we have refused this city advertising more than once, just as we did the advertising of the list of letters remaining in the Post Office. We were com- pelled to do this in cozsequence of the enormous pressure upon our columns of a more valuable class of advertisements. If the city government, or any other govern- ment, chooses to advertise in the Hrratp it must do so upon the scale we establish for all other advertisers. Could we be expected to show more favor to a rich city government like that under the control of Tammany than we do the poor chambermaids who fili eur space with better paying advertisements than any the city authorities have presented? We repeat, we do not care for the Corporation advertising. But, by reasen of having the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the city or country, we claim for the HeraLp a right to publish at its own regular rates advertisements of a public character that $1, 98 11,217 86 2,085 25 may require extensive dissemination. We hold that the official advertising organ of any government—local, State or national—should be that paper which has the most widely diffused circulation among the community who may be the most deeply in- terested in any particular advertisement. The whole swarm of papers, or weekly handbills, that publish the city advertising, and which only have an existence by being fed frem the public crib, and not from any merit of their own, should be swept away, and the Corpora- tion advertising given to one or two journals of commanding circulation and acknowledged standing. By this means the three or four hundred thousand dollars now uselessly ex- pended by the city for advertising would be saved and the taxpayers benefited accord- ingly. In the meantime, we caution the black republican Trombone and its discordant orchestra to be careful that before they begin to throw stones they do not live in glass houses themselves.

Oue of OR. HAYES F FOR SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. “New Yorx, Jan. 7, 1871, To tHe EDITOR or THE HERALD;— In response to the article in this day’s HeRaxp, in relation to a new Cabinet, I would respectfully sug- gest the name of Dr, Hayes, the Arctic explorer, for Secretary of the Navy instead of Ben Wade. { presume that under any government but ours ne would have been honored with a vecoming position ere this; but better now than to reserve all the honor for the funoral, as ig so often done, Jam aware that daring the war he had charge of one of the largest military hospitals: but the very emictent management thereof rather deserved the thanks of the nation than that he should be obliged for the office. No doubt his appointment would meet with general favor, and if the party in power at pre cut neglects hm let the democrats run him on their next Presidential or Gubernatorial ticket, if they wish to elect good men. At any rate, iet those be honored who devote their time anu risk their hives to obtain Knowledge which is so generally destrea, bat would never bo obtained but for such heroic characters, = A SEADER.
