"One has abandoned it because its
advocates disagreed among themselves;
another has dropped it because it has
run into politics, still another has with

peace of the Church; some would be-re-
spectacle people have separated from it
because it stands directly in the pathway

when they found that its principles re

The ConcertM MONDAY Night

The concert of Monday night was a very brilliant
one Indeed. Our favorte PARoDI charmed her au
ditors much as ever. Her greatest triumph of
the evening was in the excerpt from Mende Isohn's
'st. Paul.: "Jerusalem, thou that killest the
Prophets In that she gave not only a grand
display of the power of her voice; but indica.
ton OF her great power actress, and especial
ly as a tragic actress. The Jerusalem of Parodi
will long ring in the ears of those who properly
appreciated that exquisite Fci formance. All her
peces were executed with her wonted spirit and
brliancy; but her reproduction of the variations
OF Hummel," at an encore, was one of those deli
cious souvenirs of some of her former concerts
that excited the especial delight Of her old admir-
ers.
Miss MAY gained friends as the concert proceed
ed. Her manner and her person go far to win ap-
rlause. Her voice is very sweet; aud though there
is not that power and facility in rapidly ascending
and descending Passages that We find in the voices
OF some more practiced prima donnas, still this
may be acquired in the practice she has now en-
Tered upon in public performances Her voice is
mellIfluous and her notes accurate, and she is des
tined to increase very much her present extensive
popularity among her countrymen as An accom-.
piished American cantatrice.
The male vocalists had quite a triumph--especial.
iy BARILL1. LABocErTA, the tenor, has 6Ie voice,
and uses 1t we'll, singing with expression and
skill; but his manner is impassive and not very
prepossessing. BARILLI is all life; and is really
one of the best of baritones. The famous song Of
"Figaro," from the Barber of Seville, was sung by
him III a manner We have never heard excelled il
equalled The Duet Of these gentlemen, and the
trio in which Parodi took part with them, were
exquisitely sung.
Young PATTI is capital v.olinist. He is an ar
tst Of great accomplishment for bis years. and will

ment. The whole concert was one of the finest

Cost OF Obtaining Office

Bribery and corruption have become SO much
part and parcel OF elections lin New York, that
one Of the papers of that city is able to publish
estimates which approximate the cost of obtain.
ing any particular office. 1t is said that ten
thousand dollars have bee paid for q nomination
to the Mayoralty, and like sum for that to the
Street Commissionership. In addition to the exs
pense of securing the nomination, the candidates
must pay for the banners, music, torchlght pro-
cessons. speakers, platform, artillery discharges,
sky rockets, roman candles, &c. In short, accord
ing to this New York Journal it costs 81, 900 to be
elected Coroner; 81, 900 member Of Common Coun-
Gil: 5000 Congress; $4,000 Street Commissioner
or Sheriff. $1,000 Mayor; and on, in proper
ton to the estimated value of the post, or Of chat
may be made ont Of ii, for the nominal salaries OF
New York officers are not, in general as great as
the outlay which Is necessary to obtain them, and
the successful aspirant often reimburses himself,
with interest, from the public crib.
1t appears that independently of the candidates
for State offices and for Congress, there are in New
York, sixty four candidates for county offices,
whose aggregate outlay, to secure election, is
about quarter million Of dollars. The expendi.
ture for both State and Federal tickets is down
at half million This is very pure and pro-
missing state of political affairs in the etropois
of this young Republic.
