IN " Il " u
The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsTEEN
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be the
Ultima Thule Of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
a musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others,
at the celebrated Werld's Fair. 1t is but JUS.
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, after this, they are entitled to the motto,
may29.

The National Inteligencer says Tho ad-

Congress IS the first issue to be gained by the
Conservatives. Without that nothing This
effected the Radicals will at once lose their
two-third power in both Houses, and become
incapable of further mischief. Then, also, will
be commenced system of commercial and
financial reform, by which the tendency OF the
country to ruin will be checked. The tyraIrnl-
cal and irritating legislation of Congress against
the Southern States will be stopped. This,
now 50 promising, may, indeed, be sui ject to
some i'm pediments Worst of all would be
what we do not apprehend- course on the
part of the South that serves to afford any
reasonable excuse for the continuance OF their
present oppressive system, and for an ultimate
resort to measures by which confscatlon and
negro suffrage will be eyacted, by military
force, from the South. 1t will hardly be ex-
pectea that every Conservative organ IN the
North, or every newspaper in the South, will
at once approve of all that the Convention has
done but that all will ultimately unite to
favor the great object Of restoration is conf

The Baltimore Gazette says -'Wh ilc some
of the leading Richmond journals reluctantly
accept the Philadelphia platform, others indig-
nantly reject it, They quote from the Resolu-
tons and Address propositions and statements
which they say arc offensive to the Southern
people, and arc, moreover, not true in point
Of fact It cannot be denied that there is great
force in these objections, but it is not worth
while, in our Judgment, to urge them at this
critical coDjuncture.
The Gazette contends, in which we concur,
that while the South, may and does object to
several Of the assertions and propositions in
the Address and Resolutions, it should, never
theless, acquiesce in the general results of the
Convenion's deliberations.

The True Political Policy.
rEron, +bn Baltimore Gazette.


tits manifest that the South has, at present,
nothing to expect but the inauguration OF the
Confessional or the Presidential policy. The
one in defiance of the Constitution and the
rights of the people, looks to the disfranchise-
mcnt of thousands of the whites and the en-
reimbursement Of the blacks in the South, and
to the establishment Of such Government Bu-
rcaux in that section as will enable Northern
radicals to rule and represent it., The other
contemplatcs the restoration Of The Constltu-
ton, the instant recognition of the clear rights
of the Southern people, and opens a way that
leads clearly and quickly towards order, law and
civil liberty. Now, we have changed none of
our convictions concerning the cause or the con-
duct of the war, nor have We altered any OF
the deliberate opinions we have formed in ref
erence to many individuals, of whom not few
were in the Philadelphia Convention. Nor is
it necessary that we, or any other Southern
man, should make any retraction or apology
before he can consistently and honestly labor
for the success of the work which that Conven-
ton has inaugurated. We live in new time
and are confronted with rev issues, and moth
ing short Of madness could now prevent the
South and the Democratic party, from dong
their uttermost to secure speedy and over
wheIming triumph for the candidates who stand
on the Philadelphia platform.

The Washington Chronicle says: The an
nouncemcDt which has appeared in several pa
pcrs to the effect that Maj. Gen. O. 0. Howard
had issued an order directing that the issue Of
rations to both whites and freedmen, by
the bureau officers, be discontinued, is in
correct, as no such order has yet been
promulgated It is probable, however, that
General Howard may find it necessary to
issue such an order for the protection of the
Government,as soon as the crops Of the South
are 50 far advanced as to afford the poor the
requisite means of support.
