TO the Editor Of the american Organ:
As President of the meeting, held in front of
the City Hall on Saturday evening last. I feel
called upon, through the medium of your press, to
stamp an article in the Mondays issue of the Star
as groundless and without the least foundation in
truth. Mr.. Walach in an editorial headed " The

its comments on Mr.. Brooks of South Carolina,
aud its sOeeping misrepresentation Of that gentle
mans case, in Dhich Mr.. Campbell il 80 soon TO
sic as judge" Every word of the above quotation
from the article alluded to Is false. Mr.. Campbell
did not once in his speech mention the name of
either Brooks or Sumner, or in the most remote
manner allude to the difficulty between that gen.
tlsmsn and Mr. Sumner. There are other por-

The NIGHTINGALEs.-0ur old familiar friends
were greeted last night by very fair house, con-
sidering the weather. George Kunkel was in fine

Mr.. Levi Brown gave us a new wrinkle on that
not usually popular instrument the ACCORDION, out
of which he has made everything that the keys
afford in playing on two instruments at once. We

the banjo.

VEIL AND vor OF Ir.-"The phaithless phan-
tom" in answer to our interrogatory of The 18th,
"who is commissioner Of the fourth ward" makes
what it doubtless considers glorious point on us,
in finding that the late Commissioner Is still the
Commissioner Now we apprehend, indeed, just
as we predicted, as it were that the pavement and
the bridge, have been washed away, though the
Commissioner it seems was not, by the Magruder
food, and that though we are shown to have
blessed him unawaies, it does not alter the fact
then published, that we had heard no complaint Of
him.
