The CONCERT, ToNIGHT.-From what we
learn Of the preparations made for grand vocal
and instrumental concert by Joslyn's Cornet
Band complimentary to Mr.. George Kendall, d-
rector, we judge that no lover of music will expe.
rienee any disappointment tonight. Such attrac-
tons have seldom, if ever, been presented to the
music-loyng citizens of Worcester in a concert of
this kind, and we trust that there will be a gen.
eral turnout. We learn that the celebrated
"Marselaise" will be performed in the course f
the evening, with drum and trumpet ObIigato,
which will of course make the echoes OF Mechan
les Hall as they were never before. The concert
will commence at half.past seven O'clock, and the
tickets are only one dime.

The Late Elections.

The result OF the recent elections in three Of
the New England Ststes-New Hampshire, Con-
nsS,icut. and Rhode Islsud-all occurring since
the introduction Of the Leeompton swindle into
the national councils at Washington, and the
making Of the sanction of that villainy a test Of
party orthodoxy by the Administration, should
be suffi .isnt to satisfy the most ardent Buahsn'
an man that a fatal bluuder committed. when
the President and his advisers sought, at the
beck of the slave power, to make SO Infamous

party. But all to no purpose In spite OF the
maledictions and threats Of Secretary Toucey,

ing at Groton Junction. Among the speakers
was the venerable Benjamin Dix Of Littleton, Of
whom the Courant says:
"He is man, ninety.six years Of age, whose
fresh, hale countenance 1t was good to SEED

perience dates from period previous to the Rev.
olution, to which he attributed the rise of intem.
perauce in New England. Before the war, there
was no drinking scarcely, except cider, which was
raised among farmers to the extent Of from five
to fifteen barrels year The soldiers, however,
drew gill OF spirits a day, and when coming
home on furlough, or by discharge, they were
welcomed with such stuff as their new appetite
delighted in. From 1900 to 1910, intempei ahce

The New YORK HERALD's ADv1oB.-The
New York Herald, which has been by far the
most influential sheet enlisted in behalf of the
Lecompton constitution, now says:
"As the destiny Of Kanzas will be precisely the
same under an act, or in default Of any act Of adj
mission, and as the only remaining consideration
TO every peace maker now is the speedest posi-
BILE removal OF TINS bone OF contention from Con
gress, why should not the majority of the Senate
recede, or at least permit the Crittenden bill to
go through by default It is not necessary that
any administration member should vote for the
bill. The absence of eight or ten Lecompton
men when the vote is taken will answer the pur-
pose"

Col. BENToN's LAST WORK Accounts from
Washington agree that Col. Benton is suffering
from a malignant disease, which will soon prove
fatal. The New York Day Book, in recent
notice of the veteran Senator, speaks thus:
"NoMing daunted by his disease. however, he
works on with the enthusiasm of youth and
the devotion OF patriot He has evidently set
his heart and soul upon CON plotting the great
work upon which he is now engaged, and if a few
months more are spared to HIM he will have sue
ceeded in accomplishing it. One hundred vol.
umes of useless lumber reduced to fifteen, which
embrace all that is really worth perusing in mat.
ter of general interest, is labor which few men
at his advanced age would have dared to have
undertaken. 1t is almost matter OF surprise
that some action has not been taken by Congress
to give national Importance to this work. II
any books are to be purchased, wo do not see
where work Of such enduring value and Of such
national importance, could be found as this one
besides, the act would be gratifying compliment
to the heroic old Senator, who. in the closing
hours of his arduous life, would doubtless con-
slider it the greatest honor that could be bestowed
upon him."
