Lieutenant General Sheridan, accompanied by General Rucker, Major George A. Forsythe and Colonel M. Sheridan of his stam, left here lust night for New Orleans, There is high oMcial authority for saying that General Sheridan does not go to New Orleans in obedience to any direct orders, but in compliance with the personal request of the President, who desires to have some one at that point in wiom he has implicit confidence to furnish him with truthful information; and of such rank that in case of anemergency he can act without special orders from Washing:on. General Sheridan was intending to go to Cuba ip a few weeks, and this trip South is only anticipating the time, for after a short stay in New Orleans he will gail for Cuba, | His immediate work in Louisiana “is to conserve | the peace, and he will not remove any oflicer or take any part in military affairs there unless it is absolutely necessary to accomplish that object.

A BECIPROCAL POSTAL TREATY FORMED WITH CANADA, It ts useful to have @ business man at the head Of the Post Office Department. The one event of a dull day here has been the conclusion of a postal treaty with the Canadian Dominion, by which sub- Btantially we get the use of the Canadian Post Ofice as completely as though it was our own, they of course enjoying like privileges, Under the treaty letters aud printed matter for any part of rates, and while letters will begin to be carried thus only from tue 1st of February, the carriage of newspapers will begin with the first day of the new year, whenthe newzate of two cents per pound for printed matter goes into effect in the United States. ‘the Assistant Postmaster General ofthe Dominion came to Washington at the re- negotiated here. it was laid before the Cabinet to-day and at once approved, and was signed this evening. It is estimated that under the new ar- rangement our government will lose not more than $20,000 per annum, while the convenience and tusiness interests of the people will be greatly advanced. It 1s possible that a similar ar- rangement will be perfected with Mexico alter a while, and the sea rate on ietters to Cuba is also to be lowered, The Postmaster General 1s also de- sirous to establish a weekly slow mati to England, under which @ three cent postage stamp would carry a letter irom any part of the United States to any part oj Great Britain and Ireland. Tne double rate would still be called for on letters sent by fast steamers, but the single rate would be a Saving and a conventence to thousands of the poorer people who have friends in the old country. Mr, Jewell thinks he can get a slow mail carried for $40 per ton, and that this would enable him to arrange for three cent ocean postage. WASHINGTON, Dec, 29, 1874. SHERIDAN’S MISSION TO NEW ORLEANS—GENERAL SHERMAN JGNORED 4ND SLIGHTED BY THE PRESIDENT. Considerabie comment 1s made among army officers here and those who are friends of tue army because General Sheridan has been selected to go to New Orleans instead of Genera: Sherman, 1t 1s | contended if army jurisdiction ts to be brought into requisition in Louisiana that it would be proper, under the Executive’s directions looking to military administration, to send the General of the Army there at once. This preference of General Sheridan and lack’of consul- tation with General Sherman puts the antagonism between the President and the General of the Army in no better light than tt was before. It is said that General Sherman has made up his mind to draw the lines at once, and, as he says pri- vately, ‘though they may even tighten on a Presi- dent.” THE CONNECTION OF PARSONS AND KING WITH THE PACIFIC MAIL SCANDAL—AMOUNT OF MONEY RECEIVED BY THE FORMER. It is pow pretty definitely ascertained by the Suo-Committee of Ways and Means that the amount received by Richard 8. Parsons from the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, while he was Marshal of the United States Supreme Court, was $93,000 instead of $15,000. Parsona pbeiore the holidays drew up a statement to the eifect that he had received at various times about $15,000, but withdrew the paper for correction, since which time he nas not volunteered to give any information on the subject whatever. ‘The case of | W. S. King, Postmaster of the House during the | Forty-secona Congress, 8 more flagrant. By the oath of office required of all officers of Congress he swore never to be interested in any claim or bill before Congress. The testimony before the Ways and Means Committee in New York created some excitement here to- day, because tt was at once remembered that William S. King; whois shown to have re «| Celved a large sum of mouey on a check of Irwin, wtestided before the Conimitiee, in February, 1873, that he. pad never received a dollar, directly or in- Girectly, for his services tn regard to the Pacific Mail subsidy, and also that he had hever expended any money on that account. Whatever may be the issue of the cuarges democratic members elect of the Forty-fourth Ccngress declare he never can hold his seat, having been elected to represent the Third Minnesota district in that Congress. It 1s asserted nere that if the committee follow up | the clew they have they will be able to discover where a number of checks went, and it is possible that when some revelations are made Irwin may be inclined to speak out more freely, in order to establish the innocence of some persons who may fall under. suspicion, and perhaps confirm the gulit o1 others. THE NEW SUPERVISING ARCHITECT—APPOINT- MENT OF¢ MR. WILLIAM A. POTTER TO sUC- CEED MR. MULLETT. Mr. William A. Potter, of New York, has ac+ cepted the position of Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, and will enter upon his duties on the 2d of January. This appointment will give satisiaction and pleasure to the friends of Mr. Potter. He is the son of the late Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, and a brother of Mr. Clarkson N, Potter, a member of Congress from New York. In his profession he is a man of excep- tional abilfty, and has achieved an enyiable repu- tation. He is the architect of the Berkshire Atheneum, Congregational church at Springfield, Mass, ; the Amherst College chapel and the Prince- ton Scientific School and Library, whioh: is consid- ered the best building for its purpose in the United States, Mr. Potter is a gentleman of spotless record and business life, and- ieentirely free from political prejudice. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. WASHINGTON, Dec; 29, 1874. CABINET CONSIDERATION OF THE CRISIS IN LOUISIANA. The Cabinet was 1m session to-day for nearly an hour and a half, Secretary Bristow was not pres- ent, the Treasury being represented by Assistant | Secretary Conant. The condition of affairs in Louisiana was the only subject of attention, be- yond several unimportant matters of routine pre- sented by the various heads of departments, At- torney General Williams made some remarks npon. the necessity, in hig opinion, of the government sustaining the Returning Board in its recent decision, The views of the Attorney General were fully set forth, and although the members of the Cabinet decline to give specific information regarding the statements presented by him, his opinions emphatically expressed both in public and private during the examination by and since the report ofthe Returning Board, are known to have been retferated in the Cabinet meeting to-day. Theseare that there is a necessity for the government sustaining the report of the Ke- turning Board at all nazards, and that {ts decision is right in law and in fact. These were asserted at some length. Other than the remarks of the At- torney General there was no discussion upon the | subject, and no decision of any character reacned, It is said in high oMmctal circles here, tuat the jorces of the War Department now in Louisiana are sufficient to preserve the public peave and dignity should their violation be theeateneu. FIRE IN FIRST AVENUE. Two alarms of fire were sounded in quick suc- cession at about half-past three o’clock yesterday aiternoon, They called the firemen and engines to the corner of East Thirty-sixth street and First avenue, A fire had been discovered in the stable at No. 401 Rast Thirty-sixtn street, which is owned by G.

LYCEUM THEATRY—‘‘MADAME L’ARCHIDUC.”’ The fertile brain of Offenbach, which has given tothe world such # vast quantity of sparkling music, is becoming exhausted as lar as or ginaity is concerned. He Gnds himseif compelled to fall back upon his oid works for materiais for new ones, Such wus the case in “La Princesse de Tré- bizonde” and was shown very plainly last nignt in the first representation in this country of his latest opera, ladame l’Archidac.” It is so full of reminiscences of “La Giande Duchesse” and “La Belie Héléne” that one would ve inclined to think that the scissors had been actively empio)ed in its composition, Yet there is one taking quality about Ofenvacn’s music at all times, it always fits exactly the wild nonsense of the librettist. We have already given a sketch of the Munchausen plot on which the opera is built. The first per- | lormance last evening at the Lyceum Theatre at- | tracted a very large audience, many musical and dramatic celebrities in art being present, the beautiful Mrs, Ruusby occupying one of tae boxes, ‘the opera was piaced on the stage iu the most lavish Manner, scenery, dresses and appointments giving evidence of liberality on the part of tne mavagement, Miss Hmily Soldene, in tne title ro, created ® more lavorabie impression thaa in any of her previous essays in te opéra vouge line.

Miss Rovson was a very fasciuating Captain Nor- tunato aud Mr, Marsbull made a decided hit as tue Archduke, a character evidently modeiled on thit ol General boum, There were many very coarse and indelicate expressions retained in the English version which might be omitted without injury to future representations of the opera, Notwithstanding the posictve merits, vocally and dramaticaily, of tue Soidene troupe, the works of the French opéra douse stage can- not successiuliy be tnterpreted in any language but the original. Then there are cockneyisius in the present version, which, however they may be well adapted for London, will not find savor in New York. The chorus and orchestra were ad- mirable and reflected much credit on tue ieader. “Madame |’Archiduc” will be given tuls evening for Miss Soldene’s benefit. ACADEMY OF MUSIC. The performance given last night at this house by the Germania Theatre Company for the benedt of the German Hospital and Dispensary was a magnificent success. Every part of the vase auditorium was filled by an _ enthusiastic audience, The piece selected for repre- sentation was the favorite five-act comedy “Ultimo,” which has won immense favor wita the German speaking portion of our citizens, The large audience were kept in a state of merrimeut during the whole evening, and the benefit, which | Was under the direction of Mr. Neuendoril, was a gratiying success, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES.

Admiral Dot, a quaint lurtie dwarf, was introduced to the occupants of the royal box, and presented his portrait to the mem- bers of the royal party, The first part o! the performance, after tue King entered, consisted Of @ horseback race between a number of lady jockeys, ‘This amused and tnter- ested His Majesty 80 much that he handed to tne Jair victor @ white rose, Which she bore around the course in triumph, During a temporary interim in the programme a cry Went up from the as- Sembicd audience, “King Kaiakana! King Kaia- Kuual’ His Majesty, wito bis usual politeness and goou nature, was very willing to recognize this call, and at Mr. Barnuns invitation accompanied hum around the Coursé 1a au open carriage in imu view of the thousauds assembied, who, with the Most enthusiastic cheers and app.ause, showed their appreciation of the royal visitor's courtesy. Daring this incident the vana played “Hail to the cme.” The Indian scene attracted tne King’s parucuiar attention, and at its close “Indian Charlie” was brought into the box and imtroduced to His Majesty, As the King 1s himseit an accom. Plisned horseman the races and -ieats of horse- manship particularly interested him, and he was frequent in nis applause and smiles during that part ol the performance, Mr. Barnum was very assiduous in his attentions to his royal guest. At the ciose Of the entertainment the party threaded its Way aMung Duinbers of gauzy vuilet giris to the “property” room, There the young ladies who had specially interested His Majesty were in- troduced. “The scene | was very amus- ing. The royal party made such a speedy: entry imto the mysterious regions of the properuiés that many comical sights were pre- sented. Every one thronged to get a look at the King, and that With an utter disregard of costume. Young wen dressed as oid women and old women as young men crowded the passayes through whico His Majesty passed, and in many cases a partial divestment oi scepic costume gave rise to many luuicrous etiects. ‘The King was extremely pete, with his visit to the App pdzomes Frow wre the party returned to the Winusor, where a deputation irom tne “‘vercle Francais de |’Har- monte” was in waiting, Ihe ‘Vercie” was repre- nted by M. Salmon and M. Flauraud, woo pre- sented to His Majesty an addiess, coupled with an invitation to the royal party to attend the masked ball at the Academy of Music on the 2ist of January next, The address was in French; bit as King Kalakaua is a Frencu scholar, no mterpreter was required. A Masenic deputation trom the Grand Master of the State of New York was then received, and as His Majesty is of high degree in the Masonic traternity, he has decided to attend a meeting oi the crait before leaving New York. ‘Tue members of this deputation were as 1ollows:—R. W. Courles koome, Grand Marshal; RW. James M. Austin, Grand Secretary, and R, W. Levi M. Gano, Graud Junior Warden. he King is desirous of making a BALLOON ASCENSION, and Mr. Donaldson, tne aeronaut, has invited His Majesty lo accompany bim on ab aerial journey. “It the terms oi my life insurance policy will not prevect it,” answered the King. “I snall be glad Lo take advantage Of your invitation.” As itis Majesty’s programme Will not allow sufficient time for ap aeronautic expedition in New York, it is probabie that tne first flue day during ws boston visit Will find him sailing above the ciouds, A the pe was received yesterday irom Mark Twain, apologizing for his inability to be present to welcume tbe King upon his visit to the “Gilded Age” last evening. Aninvitation was at the same time extended to the party to iuncn at Hartiord on Toursday, as guests o! Mr. Clements, As previous engagements had been made the in- vitation was courteously declined, AT THE PARK THEATRE, Shortly before eight o’clock the royal party left the Windsor Hotel for the Park Theatre, ‘They ar- rived there in ample time for the commencement of the play, which, a8 has been announced, was the “Gilded Age.” ‘The King was escorted into the theatre by Alderman McCafferty, who intro- duced His Majesty to Mr. Stuart. The house was crowded to excess, and as the entrance of the royal party was made mai st by the orchestra playing the Cuief,” the audience rose to their feet and signified their pleasure by @ Jong-continued round of applause. In the box with the King were Governors Dominis and Kapena, Lieatenant Totten, Aldermen Kehr and McCafferty and Assistant Alderman Brucks, During the performance the King trequently muni- | Jested his p easure by smiies and nods of approval. At the {ali of the curtain ob sve Lhird act the royal party adjourned to the green room, where they were entertained by the Management. Mrs. Ray- mond and Misé Gertrude Keiloga were presented othe King, Whea Cownel Mulverry Sellers was ntroduced he said, “Your Majesty, excuse appearance, I'm to be drunk in the next act.” The King, hoiding up & glass of sparkling cham- pagne, quickiy rerorted, “We will excuse the wa- ver.” “Then, periaps Your Majesty will not refuse a turnip; they won't care a cold, but turnips will keep away the plague.” At tue conclusion of the play the royal party were entertained at the Army and Navy Club, . Toe programme for to-day will be a quiet one, as our distinguished visitors, like other men, re- quire rest. A great deal of hard work has been | aone, The notable visit of the first crowned head to the United states 1s now drawing to a close, and it will perbaps bear iruits which to a superficial observer may not be at once apparent. The Ha- waiian Islands do not comprise a large extent of territory, nvr ts their population larger than that of the state of Delaware; but, as one of the King's suite mentioned to the representative of the HeRaLp, the island interests are naturally and indisputably American, and it may be safely stated that the foreign element resident in the Kingdom, regardless of national- ity, desire closer and freer commercial relations with the great Republic. A synopsis of the isiand views, relative to the proposed reciprocity treaty, has already appeared in the HERALD and has been approved of by one of the most prominent mem- bers of the Hawalian delegation. ‘To-morrow morning His Majesty will leave this city ior Boston, rematning @ tew hours at New Haven to visit Yale College and other objects of interest. There he will be the guest of the city, and preparations have been made to receive him. His stay at Boston will most probably be brief, and then the party will make @ visit to Niagara Falls, From there, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Lous will be visited, thence the Hawaiian monarch will return to San Francisco, en route for nis island home. At the Army and Navy Club His Majesty was re- ceived by Dr. McMilien, and the hospitality of tne clip was tendered to the royal party. Alter a half hour spent in social conversation the King played & game Ot billiards with General Nelson Davis, His Majesty proving the victor. Among the gentic- men presented were Generals Fry and Prince and Colonel Barstow. KING KALAKAUA'S MOVEMENTS. Boston, Dec. 29, 1874.
