TIE AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CHARTER-Ihe
publication by US yesterday Of the amendment to
cur city charter, passed by both Breaches Of the
Legislature, was a piece of news to large num-
Der of our city readers. They seem not to have
heard of the amendments Lefore, and good deal Of
dissatisfaction was expressed with that portion
which abolishes the Common Council Quite a
number Of Councilman were greatly surprised to
learn yesterday morning that they had been legis-
lated out Of office at the expiration of their pres
eut term, and they are not at all satisfied with
-this uncercmonIous taking of.
These amen dments were the subject of an in
formal discussion in the Board Of Aldermen last
night and while some Of them met with approval
the members generally appeared opposed 10 the alb
clifton OF the Common Council They regard that
as a very useful and necessary branch of the legs-
dative branch Of the city government. The pres
eut organisation Of that department appears to be
growing more and more in favor with the people.
It was announced that Joint Committee had been
appointed some time since by the two branches Of
the City Council to take into consideration and re
mort what amendments of the city charter were ne
cessary and that with the view of giving this Com
mittee an opportunity to carry out the object OF
their appointment the Senator from this comfy
Mr.. TRnmLE) would be requested to have the vote
adopting the amendments reconsidercd, and the
amendments laid upon the table for the present
Mr.. East who offered the amendments in the House
of Representatives cheerfully agrees to this course
The Committee Of the City Council viii then have
time to investigate the matter and consult with tn,
citizens. and report such amendments as are desired
in ample time to have them adopted by the Legs
lature as en- amendment to some bill

WAsHNGroS, Feb. "A number of Democrats
who are here from Kansas. have conferred with the
Southern Democrats in Congress, and propose to
advocate the admission of Kansas into the Union
with the Wyandotte Constitution, changing the
boundaries so as TO include Pixies Peak and pOr-
ton Of Nebraska south of the Platte River, the
change to be submitted to vote Of the people of
Kansas and when ratified to be admitted q State
by the proclamation of tie President
Hon Marcus J. PARROT, Gen. POmerOy, Judge
Army, and other Republicans are here from Kansas,
on the admission of Kansas under the Wyandotte
Constitution without any alteration COnstitu-
ton being already ratified by two thirds of the cit-
zens of the Territory.
The question Of population viii not be urged, as
Judge Petit of Kansas, has said he is confident
that there are one hundred thousand inhabitants,
which comes up fully to the requirements Of the
English bill.
It's also proposed by the Democratic Senator's to
resist the organization Of any Territories. They
want to attach Dacotah and the region round about
it. to Nebraska, while Utah and the Territories
south of Kansas, are to be annexed to New Mexico,
and follow its fortunes To tins it is objected, that,
having received slavery in New Mexico by law, this
immense territory should not be brought under the
same enactment, which might secure it to slavery
forever.

TIE PHILHARMONIC SOCHTT.-We desire our read
ers attention to the card Of this Society in another
column. Their plans Of operation viii, it appears,
Je stated in a circular to be shortly published at
present it is only necessary to state that they are
DESTROYS of extending their field Of action in such
way as to secure for Nashville permanent resources
for musical entertainments Of high order, indie
pendent Of artists from abroad To do this requires
an amount Of expenditure greater than it is reason
able TO expect should fan exclusively on the shout
ders 9f the few gentlemen who are at present sus-
tanning the enterprise. In what way this is propos-
ed to be done the circular viii state. Suffice it for
the present to say,
FIRST, that this is no begging scheme; no asking
Of money for nothing; they propose to give full
equivalent in the way Of admission to their concerts
for every dollar that they receive.
Next though the standing of tie gentlemen en-
gagged in it should give sufficient assurance Of this
it win not be supposed that they ask, or willing
to receive anything in remuneration for the enter
tainments they give. All funds which may come
into their hands viii be expended in giving the
highest possible character to their musical efforts
In aword, it is desired to organize and render
available in united action, the large amount Of mu-
steal talent which exists among US, but is fritered
away for the want of due stimulus to its cultiya-
ton and lost to all worthy purposes by the absence
of that combination through which alone the high
est order Of musical compositions become practi-
cable.
We think are warranted in saying that, even
apart from the interest attaching to the noble art
which is thus TO be cherished and promoted among
us the moral value of refined and intellectual re-
creation, unassocsted with anything vicious or de-
grading in its tendency is SUCH that all who IN
terested in the wellbeng Of society, whether gifted
with musical taste or not, should heartily desire
the success of this association To suppose that so
ciety can be prevailed upon to do without reerea-
tion is simply absurd. Can there then be a more
momentous object for exertion than that Of estab-
lisning provision for amusement, whose tendency
is ennobling and elevating, rather than corruptng
or debasing.
