whoIesaIe CIothlng store. .

We yesterday dropped into Stebbens,
Towne 6 Co.'s wholesale clothing store,
No. 1,Gwynne Block, corner of Town and
Third streets, and found their establish
ment fitted up in a most superb manner.
The first and second stories are fitted up
for jobbing rooms, and are new filled with
the best goods, and the best ready-made
clothing found in any establishment in the
State. The third story is used for manu-
featuring purposes, with the latest and
most approved machinery for that purpose.
Messrs. Stebbens, Towne & Co, are
agents for the sale of goods manufactured
by the ColumbusIWoolen Manufacturing
Company, which, for texture, firmness of
body and fast colors will compare favora-
bly, with the manufacture of any other es-
tablishment in this, or any other country.
They invite the city and country trade to
examine their stock.

P,Ire,s NEW building.

We learn from the Cincinnati Commercial
that the merchants having failed to take
the site of Plke's Opera House for the new
Exchange, Mr. Pike will go to work at once
to rebuild. He will not put up an Opera
House, however, but cover the same ground
with splendid structure, repeating the
Opera House front, and dividing the build
Ing into, stores and offices. A very
strong force will be employed, aud it is
expected the new Opera House building
with the part of the Opera House omitted)
will be completed this summer.

miss R1itsch,s Musical exhibition


Miss Mitsch,s Musical Exhibition
Mlss Leontina Mitsch, who has been
teaching music in our city for year or
more past, gave an exhibition last evening
at Ambos Hall, of the progress made by
her pupils. The Hall was well filled by a
large assembly of ladies and gentlemen,
every seat being crowded. The exercises
consisted of musical performances on the
pano-one of Knabe's, furnished by John
Seltzer-though several pieces of vocal
music were interspersed, which were en-
coredl with much enthusiasm by the au-
dlence.
The performances surpassed tho expecta-
tions we formed when we saw the youthful
amateurs collected imam ante-room before
the concert opened They were chiefly
young misses, several of whom were only
eight or nine years of age. Few of them
had been under Miss Mitsch's tuition more
than four quarters, and many Of them but
single quarter. Yet the grace, skill and
ease, with which they touched the instru-
ment, and rendered some of the most diff
cult pieces, would have done credit to older
and more practlced amateurs:
To do full justice to the exhibition 1t
would be necessary to copy the entire pro-
gramme, consisting Of twenty-six different
pieces, with a suitable commentator of
each youthful performer. But we have not
room for such an extended notice, had we
the requisite qualifications for making it.
We mustIthcrefore, be content with bare
mention of some of the pieces that struck
our ear as particularly entitled to COM
mendation, and seemed to be received with
special favor by the audience.
Among these were the Overture from
Tampa, by Katy Mithoff; Elfin Waltz and
Mozart's little Piece, by Eugene Clock;
Sturm Polka, by Maria Burkley; La Soll-
tude-composed by Mack, by Frankie
White; Fantasia Brilliante, Martha-by
Oesten, by Caroline Weiss; Fairy Frolic,
brilliant dance by Hewett, by
Clara Bancroft; Mocking Bird--composed
by Hoffman, by Mr.. Fred. Miller.
The highest compliment that can be paid
to Miss Mitsch as teacher of music was
paid by the manner in which the exhibi-
bition passed off last night, and the appro-
baton and applause with which 1t was re-
ceived by the audience. The pupils ex-
celled in elasticity and delicacy of touch,
in correctness and accuracy in keeping
time, and, above all, in clearness and force
of expression, which is the soul and life of
music.
The performances were alike creditable
to, and praiseworthy in both teacher and
pupils.

Present Status OF Freedmen in
Georgia.

By virtue of an act of the late Legisla-
ture of Georgia, freedmen are made capable
of purchasing, holding, selling and Inherit
ing property OF every description OF suing
and being sued; and are made competent
witnesses in the courts of this State.
This liberal policy towards race of peo-
pie who recently, instead of possessing the
rights enumerated, were held as property,
evinces a magnanimity on the part of our
Legislators which is truly admirable. When
it is considered that most of our present
Lawmakers we're once the masters of the
freedmen whom they have cnfranchised,
and that they have never received nor eX-
pect to receive cent by way OF remunera-
tion for their losses, this act of liberality
should commend its authors and the peo-
pie, who have approved it, to the highest
respect and confidence of the good OF the
country. 1t is an earnest to the negro of a
course of Justice and humanity; it is
an incentive to his advancement in every
thing that may ennoble his character and
contribute to his usefulness and happiness.
But three things are denied the freedmen
in Georgia, that are necessary so constitute
him a complete citizen. The right of suf-
frage; eligibility to Office, and competency
as Juror. The beneficial exercises of these
privileges requires degree OF intelligence
which he has not yet attained. The former
may at no very distant period be conferred
upon him, but the best interests of the cOun-
try, as we'll as that of the negro, require
that in his present state he should not be
invested with privilege that designing and
corrupt men would certainly control for
evil purposes, through the medium of his
ignorance and his passions.
The rights of holding Office and serving
as Jurors involve not only the question of
political but social equality. Until the
sleopard can change his spots and the
Ethiopian his skin," the African race in
our midst may not expect any admission of
this unnatural assumption of their misguid-
ed friends. We may add, consistently with
truth, that the negro of the South would
feel that he had brought upon himself dis
honor, instead of accomplishing for himself
real benefit, if he should be forced beyond
his sphere into positions of social equality
with white men of the country. They feel
the distinction which nature has made,
and it is very seldom that any can be found
who desire to resist this law of their be-
ihggor to murmur at its practical enforce
ment. 9tsIti

Hon. John A. bingham.

This Republican Representative in Con-
gress from Ohio, is deservedly classed as a
Radical, who is as much the friend ofthe
Negro as anybody who makes professions
to that effect, He, too, wants to make
."'treason odious;" but he could not secure
the assent OF his conscience and Judgment
to vote for the Civil Rights bill infamy.
That was something too much for even
him; but DELANo, who had a fit of conser-
.vatism few days ago, did vote for it.

The civil rights law, which Is about to
take effect, will, as lawyers generally state,
Axeeute ITSELF through the Federal courts,
in like manner with the fugitive slave law.
The President will have nothing to do with
its execution. except in the appointment OF
Uuited States district judges. Some OF
these are already appointed: others will be
in the course of the year. The judges will
appoint their aids, and will see that they DO
nOt appoint improper persons. The Pres
fdent must take care that he does not Sc
Iect men for judges who would abuse theif
powerto speculate, like United States cot
ton agents, upon the necessities or appre-
:. hcnsi0ns of the citizens Of the States where
the law is to be executed.
hgb The first section Of the law goes into eff
feet at once, declaring who are citizens OF
q the United States. This law will remain in
force, Of course, until it is either repealed
or pronounced by the United States SUI
preme Court to be unconstitutional, neith-
er Of which contingencies are likely to rise
EFxefy sOon.' However, the case will be made
lin Indiana or Illinois, under their State
J laws, which prohibit the immigration OF
negroes into those States, or their residence
there. But these State laws. will, no doubt
be so modified as to comply with the Fed
