MRS. Cones CoNCERT.-We invite atten.
tion to the advertisement of this very at
tractive musical entertainment, which takes
place at the Virginia Hall, on Ninth street,
tomorrow Tuesday night A very good
opportunity is now offered to our fellow
citizens to show their regard for our own
musical talent, native and adopted. As
everybody who is to take part on this oc-
casion belongs to Richmond, and we belong
to it and to old Virginia in heart and soul,
and in everything else that can bind one to
ones Commonwealth, we enter into it cor
daily, and shall certainly endeavor to be
there, and hereby invite all our neighbors,
friends, and fellow-citizens to initiate our
example. The profits of this concert will
not travel away to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, but will abide here
and do good. As Mrs. Cones perform
ances have heretofore been confined to
private circles and some modest occasions
when she sang for the benefit of benevo-
lent schemes, all who have not heard her
are assured that Nature has endowed this
lady with rare powers of song, which have
been long and assiduously cultivated. We
are glad that an opportunity will now be
afforded the public to enjoy those strains
that have heretofore been restricted to a
narrower circle and as the occasion which
calls her forth is peculiar, they will pro-
badly not soon have the same privilege
There are others Of musical merit and
modest worth who are not often heard; and,
upon the whole, such list of performers
as will, with those parts of the entertain.
ment not mentioned in the advertisement
insure the satisfaction and delight of the
audience. We hope it will be as large al
we are confident it will be we'll pleased.

which one Wardwell Is q prominent men,
Der, held . meeting in this city during
last week, at which the name Of Yankee
was proposed for membership. The afore-

from so doing by the bystanders, who
called for the question; and the nominee
was admitted into the league by vote Of
9 to 3.

The Case of Mr.. Thomas.

The credentials of Mr.. Philip f. Thomas, Sena-
tor elect from Maryland, were presented in the
Senate yesterday whereupon a spirited debate
sprnng up, covering the entire ground of that
gentlemans eligibility to a seat. The fact
that the Legislature by which he was chosen
was itself elected in good part by illegal votes,
was brought to the attention of the Senate,
as also was the letter of Mr.. Thomas resigning
the Office of Secretary of the Treasury under
President Buchanan, on account of the at
tempt to reinforce Fort Sumter, and in which
he denied entirely the power of coercion by
the general Government. A recent speech Of
Mr.. Thomas, in which he stigmatized the
Senate as a body of men who always had been
and were now traitors to the Union, was also
brought to notice. The Senate adjourned
without coming to a vote upon the motion to
refer the credentials to a committee.
We suppose there is no doubt in the mind
of any intelligent man who has studied the
case that Thomas gave all the aid and COM
fort to the Rebels he could, without actually
participating in the Rebellion. If he did, or
if his election was corrupted by the tram
plng under foot of the laws of his State, ex-
Guiding Rebels from the polls, the case is GER
tainly one which requires the careful atten-
tion of the Senate. 1t has been a favOrite
idea of President Johnson's that Congress
could protect itself from disloyal members by
simply refusing their admission, and telling
/ their constituents to send up better material
! Perhaps better case for trying the expert
! ment will not occur than this of Mr.. Thomas

The English Reform Bill.

The Government of Great Britain introduced
yesterday, so the telegraph informed us, a
Reform bill considerably enlarging the num-
Der of those enjoying the right of suffrage.
The right is now proposed to be conferred upon
rate-paying householders of ten years resi-
dence, to men paying one pound yearly taxes,
or having thirty pounds in a savings bank or
fifty pounds in the funds, and to all members
of the learned professions and graduates of
the universities. The bill also provides for
a ffteen-pound franchise in the counties.
This, of course, is a very long way from
manhood suffrage as advocated by John Bright
and the advanced Liberals generally. 1t fol-
lows strictly, however, in the line of reform
precedents in England, which are for the
ruling classes to hold ON to their exclusive
power just as long as possible, and then to
yield just as little as they can. This is the
essence of conservative philosophy with
regard to the subject of reform. Whether
this kind of strategy is going to prove as sue
cesstul in the future as it has in the past
may well be doubted. The masses of the
English people are becoming daily more intelli-
gent, more conscious of their power, and
more clamorOus for their rights. The teach
ings of such men as Mill and Bright are per-
meating the popular mind. The trade orga-
nizations are showing the people their power
when combined, and are familiarizing them
with organized action. A point may soon be
reached-perhaps has already been reached
where the opening of the gates of the citadel
of aristOcratic power ever so slightly shall
prove the signal for such a simultaneous rush
of the masses as shall overwhelm the keepers.
force wide open the doors, and fairly carry
the ancient fortress by storm.
