THE rejection of Surgeon Abadie seems rather
hard, He had served In the army thirty years,
ard was full surgeon when the new grade OF
medical purveyor was made. for the necessities
of the late war. For this office he (as likewise
Surgeon Sutherland) was selected, in compli-
ment to his merit and long experience, and,
accepting it, the vacancy he left in the surgeons
list was filled. But now the Senate has rejected
his nomination for promotion in the army as
assistant medical purveyor. That seems harsh
return for thirty years OF service 1t is Offering
promotion to take away ones livelihood, rais-
ing the higher to let the fall be greater. The
Senate acted on full knowledge, however, OF
these facts, they being set forth in special
letter of Recommendation from General Grant,
and a note from Secretary Stanton, printed
together with the nomination.-Armyd and NGUy

character are so popular with the publlc2 In
some recent exhibitions, we have been aston

THE ORAToRIo OF "ST. PAUL" will be pre-.
sented to the public on Friday evening next, at
the Academy of Music. on the occasion of the
third and last concert of the "Handel and
Haydn Society during the present season.
This grand composition by Mendelssohn will
undoubtedly be rendered in the most effective
and attractive manner. The solo parts will be
taken by Mrs. II. NJ. Smith, and Mr. j. f. Ru-
dolphsen, of Boston, and Mr.. George Simpson, of
New York. The mere announcement of these
well-known names is a sufficient guarantee
that the score of ST. Paul will be interpreted in
a conscientious and artistic style. But not less
attractive will be the grand choruses by the
three hundred efficient voices of the Handel
and Haydn" while the Instrumentation will
be assigned to a powerful orchestra Of forty
pieces. We feel safe in predicting that the
whole affair will be conducted in manner that
will still urther increase the reputation OF the
Society under whose auspices it is to transpire.
The same oratorlo will be repeated at a
matinee on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
when those who are unable to procure tickets
for Friday evenings performance, will be
afforded an opportunity Of enjoying the rare
musical ent ertainment.

HReefing SaiIs.1

WE make room elsewhere in our paper for
well. written communication from CORES
pondent who in many respects has sound
ideas on the necessities of the situation in the
business world, and who expresses his views
clearly and with no little force. He COM
mends our opposition to the proposed eight
hour law, and we will pass at once to that
part of his letter which treats of warning
we published few days since in regard to
possible panic. In the first place, we did not
intend our advice to capitalists to reef their
sails to apply exclusively to fancy spectators.
We intended that it should be our deliberate
advice to great majority of all the men who
are actively engaged in manufacture, and all
the other producing industries of our coun-
try. And we think our correspondent will
agree with us if he looks a little more closely
al the sentence of which he complains. The
Objectionable paragraph reads:-
'We have breakers ahead and, like wise seamen
we advise every to reef his sails, and be pre-
pared for any possible emergency We do not think
that financial panic is imminent, but IL Is possole
and the surest way 10 not only avoid its occurrence
but also to be safe should 1t is TO act the part
dictated by prudence and be prepared for Its coming
Now, we really do not see anything in this
to which any one can take exception. We do
not advise the capitalists to stoptheir mills, and
let their hands stand, as our correspondent
apparently thinks. We advise them to take
a course which is the most likely to avert
such catastrophe. We do not say drop
anchor; we say, reef your sails. We do not
say, stop your Mills we say, donot rashly run
vour mills to their utmost, accumulate a
large stock which you will not be able to
carry until a better day, and which will sink
YOU completely, but do the very thing which
our correspondent himself advises. Decrease
your wages, run slowly along so as TO Keep
your hands out of want and wait until the
threatened storm is past.
Our correspondent quotes the case OF gen
tlemen with hundreds OfthOusands, who are en-
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-04-24

gagged in the iron trade, and who can afford
to have a product, which will not be in
jured by waiting, accumulate, without danger
of their having to sacrifice to prevent ruin.
The employers, as a rule, would not be able
to run at full time for year. and keep all
their products for better market. To have
that much unavailable capital would be their
ruin. They must sell as they make, or they
will fail. win our correspondent say that
when we advise such manufacturers to ''reef
their sails" and be careful, that we advise
them to injure their employees ? On the con
trary, we say to them, avoid "crash by
timely discretion" Better for the hands that
they should have reduced wages than that in
such panic as 1857 they should be thrown
entirely out of work. Such course is the
'surest way to avoid the occurrence of panic,
and be safe should it occur"
