Instructions in Vocal Music.

Mr.. G. w. BARTLETT, who has had a
class in this place taking lessons in Vocal
Music, concluded his session Of l6 lessons
on last evening We believe that Mr.. B.
has given general satisfaction 10 all those
who attended his school, as we have heard
many Of his scholars speak Of him and HE
instructions in terms Of high commentator.
We have frequently attended Mr.. Bartlett's
school, and were surprised as well as graft.
fed to sec the rapid progress his students
made; many parts Of Music which at frs,
appeared to them difficult were, by his mode
Of teaching, rendered perfectly plain and
easy. MI. Bartlett is gentleman of fine
talents, and certainly understands Music
better than any teacher we have ever met
with, as he differs from the most Of teachers
IN one very essential point, that Of learning
hIs scholars TO speak their words plain and
distinct and to pay particular attention to
ihe stops
Mr.. Bartlett, during his sojourn here, also
instructed the children in music, and it was
uuly gratifying to attend and hear those
iule ones, from years old up to twelve,
sing various tunes correctly.

CONVENTION.
"WILLIAM G. BROWNLUW
July lGh, 1915.

We stated explicitly, in our article few DAYS
since, thai we dill not desire 10 be forced into
discussion Of Ibis question al this lime. Our 81
lence had been msconslruei, and we determined
that doubt as 10 our position should BE- removed.
Some OF our co.emporaries requested that we
should speak out. We Cid so, calmly and disras-
sionately stating some Of the most prominent Or
jeciions We had 10 The present Constitution, and
giving few reasons, why, in orr opinion, il should
he amended. We did mol engage in lie combat
between the Times and the Wing, nor did we!c-
sire, ty any means, 10 draw The fire VI The Times
from The Wing upon ourselves. We may re-
sumo The subject upon some subsequent and more
fitting occasion, and. in spirit OF difference for
the opinions Of others and for the conflicting in
,ere>is involved, We shall advance such views rs
We deem expedient In The meantime, we tender
our columns freely 10 these who desire 10 discuss
The question: whether ot il OF against il, hoping

our correspondents, and thai moderation may be

PUBLIC MORALS.

| All will, we trust, admit that We are not rsrU
bitter parizans; and particularly that we interfere
but little with lie right OF cur political opponents TO
make their own selection Of candidates. That is
question, entirely within their own CONTROL
But there is one recent nomination, which, we
confess has mortified US not little. We regard
il as a direct assault upon public morals, upon
all rules Of proprie,y and decency. We allude
TO The nomination Of the notorious William G..
Brownlow of Tie Jouesborough (Tenn.) Wing,
as the Wing candidate for Congress. 1t is un-
necessary 10 eXpatiate upon his repulsvc quail
ties. They are we'll known 10 the whole Union
In the political excitement OF last year, he was
allowed BIZ the Wings of this city 10 address them
in the Club House, in The broad light OF midday
bu, before he had concluded his violent attacks,
his own parry associates were disguised with
him. He is now nominated as The candidate
Of a respectable party for The honorable post Of
Congress His editorial writings and speeches
are filled with The most disgusting personal abuse
and deuacton. There ale none TOO pure 10 es-
cape his poisoned arrows His odors assault
upon The memory of Gen Jackson, was enough
10 open the eyes Of the biuerest parlizans 10 his
offensive character. To sustain our position, we
quote single sentence: "Aller life OF eighty
long years. spent in the indulgence Of the most BIZ

tence of Andrew Jackson terminated al his resi-.

qualification Of political triumph, will have The
pleasure Of rebuking an insult upon public mo-
rails and social virtue.
II is the duty of The press, with lis great inAu-

not long be KEEP. sacred, il the press should give

TIE MAILS.

To pat in a clear ishl q subject on which there
is much discussion, We give an extract Of an ar
icc from The Union, which proves thai lie Post
Master General is actively and inellgenlly doing
his duty 10 the country and 10 his Department.
Speaking ol the refusal OF The Philadelphia, VIII
mingion and Baltimore Rail Road Company TO
come into terms the Union says:
eve understand the Postmaster General i'm
medaely despatched that active and efficient Off
Ger, Maj. Hobbie, 10 lie North, 10 adjust lie diff
icuy with that company, or 10 make new ar
rangemcntS with some other company, Tor lie
speedy transmission Of the mail; bu that 70 ar
rangrment has yet been completed The Philade-
phia company sill refusing 10 take The mai! al
lie lines specified in The new schedule, without
additional compensation, though they have ielu-
cei their demand from twenty thousand dollars
10 seven thousand FIVE hundred dollars. This the
Postmaster General does mol feel himself Al lihcr-
y 10 paw, as tie company now receives the maxi
mum allowed by law-lt is probable h.t some
arrangement will be made with The State road 81
Pennsylvania, BY Columbia and York, or with
the steamboat routes across the bay, for The trans
mission of The mails; by which il is hoped that
the Postmaster General may lie enabled TO avoid
The exorbitant demands Of The company having
control Of The rood between Philadelphia and Bal
timore.
"No arrangement with the Pennsylvania road,
or with the steamboat lines across the bay, can I've
made, that will give the speed 10 The mails desir-
ed By the Postmaster General, and required by
The public interests, and which should be given
the country by The Philadelphia company.
al is hoped however, that some arrangement
may be soon completed with some other compa
ny, that will expedite the mail on This great and
important line, and meet the expectation and Just
demands Of The public If it should not do SO,
still We trust that The course OF the Postmaster
General will meet The appreciation CT the public.
We are sure it would not have justified him in
yielding 10 the eYorbitant deman S OF The Pha-
delphia and Baltimore Railroad Company-espc-
cially atths time, when lbe cheap postage sys-
lem itself may depend upon tie economy with
which the affairs Of the department may be ad-
