SoIREE MUSICALE AT THE CINCINNATI FEMALE
SEMTNARY.-The Euterpean Society, of the
above-named Institute, gave their friends a
musical entertainment in the Chapel of the
Seminary on the corner ofSeventh and Mound
streets, on Saturday evening. There was
very little variety in the programme, selected
principally from Haydn's Oratorio of the
| Creation, which production, we think, won
derfully overrated, and at least a century
behind age as worl, of art. Every thing,
with one Or two exceptions, was heavy and
spiritless, but this was no fault of ,.c rer.
formers; for the execution of the whole wa
highly creditable to the mos'cal profcicn.v
of both the Society and is ils uctors.
Righini's splendid cloIGe, The Lord ia
Great, was finely sung, the parts alrbcing givon
with promptness and precision. The duet from,
Stabat Mater by couple of worry sweet voice
repaid us for what we had heard before, while
the delicious soprano that sung in the trio and
chorus. The Heavens are Telling" miracle
of clearness and quite sympathetic, was worthy
a solo in which its full beauty could have been
made manifest.
Mr.. Willie ms as an impressario does not i'm
press us favorably. He lacks elf-possession-
Kisses when he would have his orchestra play
piano, and counts the time in sylables loud
enough to be heard some distance. As a
teacher, however, he is very successful and if
we may judge from the class we heard on
Saturday night, will soon attain, if he has not
already, place in his profession which may
well be envied. The orchestra played their
part of the programme in excellent taste,
although occasionally the brass became too
blatant In brief, the performance of this
really excellent society gives decided promise
that in this department, as it has in every
other, the Seminary will soon take leading
position.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 30.--The War Depart
ment received heavy mail from Colonel
Johnston, commanding the forces in Utah.
Inc complication between the Federal and
judicial officers is fully explained, and his
course in responding TO the acquisitions made
upon him by tho Judiciarygwhich is n co-or-
dlnate branch Of the Government, is fully
sustained and justified.
IL appears that Governor Cumming was
acting under special Instructions from the
State Department., and directly opposite TO
the instructions of Colonel Johnston and the
Judicial officers.
The Cabinet to-day has the subject under
consideration. Colonel Johnston's dispatches
change the aspect of affairs there, and it is
not known what course the Administration
will pursue as between the Federal aud Judi
cial officers

ALLOWANCE OF WRIrs OF ERROR. - The
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas and the
Sheriff were notified Saturday that the Su-
premc Court of the State had granted writa of
error in the cases of James Burns, sentenced
to be executed ON the 9th inst, for the murder
of Michael Burke, and Charles Cook and Jo-
seph Setter, now in the penitentiary for the
murder of Kate Bureau. This matter is to be
determined at once, and if error be shown in
the past proceedings, the three criminals will
be granted new trials. The ground of the
granting of the writs is that Burns was not
convicted according to the evidence, and that
Judge Carter's charges to the jury were not
what they should have been.
