N despatch frear Raleigh, North. Carolina,
gives deplorable account of the suifsrings of
the people in that locality. The general pow
ersy that prevails among the community has
been rendered more calsmitous. thyough the
long continuance of severe weather. Women
and children nave frozen to death and starved
10 death, ana. the funds OF the Young Mems
Christian association. which have been used
to afford partial relief, are now exhausted. In
this terrible condition OF affsifs, we are told,
the masses hsve grown apathetic on political
questions and cry cut to Congress oaly 10 give
them chance to keep themselves aave and get
on their feet again. North, CaroliHa has been
less Affected by the war, probably, than any
other secession State except Texas. The story
told Of her present trials and SORROWS does not
present half the horrors that can be related Of
other States. Governors Patton has just been
IN Washington, not to talk about politics, bat
to beg eighty thousand dollars Of the govern
ment to save the poor, of Alabama from perish
ing through starvation. II our philanthropists
will only turn their eyes towards the Southern
States they will find objects Of charity eaough
without sending their money away Tor the re-
lief Of foreigners The people who are under
going these suferings have only their sfortune-
hunting politicians" aud party leaders to thank
for them. The men who brought starvation
and misery apon them are now iacitng them
TO reject the proposition held out by Congress
os q settlement Of their troubles. Temporary
relief may be obtained by leans from the gov
ernment or donations from the humane bu.
the people Of these afflicted States, IL they do
sire restored prosperity and happiness, mans.
take their political affairs into their own ha,.ds.
Let them reject the couusels Of their fortune
hunting politicians" and accept the Settlement
offered to them by the North. and, with cstab.
lshed peace aud security, they yfil soon share
in all the blessings enjoyed by the loyal
States.

Growth and Tendency Of Musical ~. IN Nsw
York.

erOwth ana Tendency oil Musical AAr' In N~W
York.
A few years ago the opera was all the rage
in New York; but since have lost the fine
artists and good management which stimulated
and cultivated the taste for operate perform
ances at that time, musical entertainments OF
another character have become fashionable.
The importation of inferior artists and bad
management had led our music-loving people
to look for amusement elsewhere than at the
opera. Fine music halls have sprung into ex-
istence, and our people 20 TO thenIto hear the
gems of the great composers and masters.
Concerts Of high order, in which the best
and most classical music may be heard, have
taken the place of the opera in great measure
and are fast superseding ii in the estimation
of the public. The way in which the enter
tainments at the Irving and Steinway Halls
are patronizcd and the failure of the opera
lately at one Of the large theatres show this to
be the case There is room for more of
these places, at least for another grand hall.
We should like to see the Chickering's, who
make the best pianos, show their enterprise in
erecting the finest and grandest hall in the
city, We are in no way exclusive, and faver
art and enterprise wherever it may be found;
still We think our native born citizens, where
they have the ability and means, should not
allow themselves to be eclipsed by foreigners
or rfOreign born citizens. Taste and cultivation
in music, as in other arts, are spreading
rapidly Before long we shall rival the classic
countries Of old Europe in this art, as we are
rivalling them in others. The erection of fine
misic halls contributes greatly to this result.
The crowds that attend those already referred
to show that . grsnder and more attractive
hail. in q suitable fecstion, would be more sue.
ocssfaL We recommeDd the eminent Ameri-
can, pianctorte manufacturers we have named
to- study the tendency and growth Of musical
taste in New York and to build the finest music
hall In the country

Tho Hon. Mr.. I.oan's Attack Upon tho
President.
The speech delivered in Congress on Mon
day last by Mr.. Loan, Of Missouri, In which
President johnson was directly charged with
completely in the assassination Of Abraham
Lincoln, was evidently. nothing but the attempt
Of radical politician, with more ambition,
than brains, to emulate the notoriety Of Bntler
and Stevens. In all legislative bodies weak
men are to be found who are restless under
the obscure position to which they are natu-
rally assigned. and who are prepared to 60 to
any length in order 70 create q sensation and
bring themselves into temporary notice. The
Missouri Congressman Is a specimen Of this
class but he would in all probability have
failed in attracting any attention III republican
Representative from this State had not raised
a point of order and denounced his balderdash
as disgraceful 10 the House and injurious to
abroad.
This border rufiianism in Congress- can.
damage no person except the radicals them--
selves. Everybody knows that the charge
made by Mr.. Loan is entirely unfounded aud
absurd. The abuse formerly heaped upon,
President johnson by the secessioniAts and
copperheads Tor the stern determination with
which he carried out the extreme sentence Of
the law upon the criminals who are repre-
sentcd ss his accomplices is only equallsd in
vindietiveness by the attacks now madr upon
him BY the ultra radicals. There IL probably
not one living man in the nation who seriously
belicves the accusation made by Mr.. Loan.
Bat that Is 90 reasoa why his disgraseful and
reckless language, altered on the foor Of Con-
gress, should be Suffered to pass nnpunished.
The Speaker decided that ho was in order, and
the House chose to lay an appeal from that de-
cision ON the table by large majority, thus
virtually sustaining the chair. although evad.
ing o direct vote upon the issue. But while
the license Of debate is wide, IL Is settled
parliamentary principle that member Is mol
to have privilege contra moren porlidmeaiorivm
| 20 exceed the bounds and limits Of his place
and duty. Whatever Is spoken in the House
| is subject to the censure OF the House. In the
case of Mr.. Loan the words used become the
more serious because they were deliberately
written and read from the manuscript, instead
| of being uttered in the inccnsidoratc heat o.
debate. He should be required TO produce
some evidence to show that he had reasonable
| grounds TO believe in the truth Of his charges
against the President Of the United States, and
| that they were not made in the spirit OF 9
reckless demagogue, without any foundation e
FEST upon, or receive the severe censure Of the
Hpgse: Mr.: na!c, yhc protested 50 strongly
against lhc assault upon the Executive, ant
who Is we'll known as an opponent Of Presdisen
| johnson, should introduce such resolution
aod put Il 10 a test vote without delay.

Yesterday Elections 10 the United States
senate.

Yesterday, Elections TO the United State.
sennSe.
| Our State Legislature yesterday, in pursu
| ance of the act OF Congress .ss to the time and
method, and Of the late republican caucus as
to the man, elected Hon. Roscoe Conkling to
the United States Senate for six years from the
4th of March next in the place Of Harris,
whose term expires The joint majority OF
Conkling was fifty-eight, strict party vote,
State Senator Henry c. Murphy being the
democratic nominee. Mr.. Conkling is radi-
cal but we guess the circumstance which
turned the scale In his favor against all other
radicals was that for some cause or other he
had become particularly obnoxious to the firm
Of Seward, Weed 4 Company. New York, at
all events, will have after the 4th of March at
least one Senator who can take hand in the
debates or that body, which is perhaps point
gained to the advantage of the State.
In the Pennsylva Legislature, under the
regulations aforesaid, the Hon. Simon Cameron,
republican, was elected to the Senate for six
years from the 4th Of March, in place OF the
incumbent, Mr.. Cowan, who has fallen through
in going over to the administration platform.
But "Old Thad Stevens" and Forncy have
also had their noses put out of shape in Came
ron's election. Cowan was too slow and Ste
vens was too fast, and SO the middle course
was adopted with Cameron.
In the Missouri Legislature the republican
caucus nominee, Charles d. Drake, decided
radical, received vote, including both houses,
Of liz to AZ for all others, including 81 votes
for General Francis p. Blair, Jr. Blair was
good fighting Union soldier during the war !;
but under the lead of the old gentleman Of
Silver Spring he has got on the wrong track
for radicalized Missouri. Drake, on the 4th
of March, takes the place of Senator Brown,
radical.
In Illinois Senator Trumbull, a moderate
76 against 33 for Dickey the democratic can
didate. The Union democracy went under in
1860, and in the last November election they
were buried under an adverse popular ma
jority Of nearly sixty thousand.
There were several ballots in the Kentucky
Legislature to elect United States Senator in
place Of Garrett Davis whose term expires on
tue ftu VI uuTCu. Iuo ldSt vOVc, CUublniuS
that Of the two houses, is thus classified
For Powell, democrat, =; Pratt, Union, Al !;
Davis, conservative, "a; Harding, Is; Hise,
democrat, 81 Randall, Union, 81. As we under
stxnd it these. Union men mean the supporters
mainly of President J0hnson's policy, those
set down as democrats represent the returned
rebel element, and the conservatives are "arf
an-azf" administration and half REBEL
The result will be the election Of one Of the
Unioncandidates Of the administration school
over. the Kentucky democrats and conserVs-
tives,. such as they are
As far as these Senatorial elections have
gone, including Connecticut, the radicals have
gained two, and, II they can get in Nebraska
and Colorado, they will be stronger in the
Senate Of the Fortieth Congress by five or six
than nlthey are in the Thirty-ninth.
