Lodge, No. q Of L Q. O. F., before the war was
one Of tho most prosperous and efficient bcnevo-
lent organizations in this city; but losses during
the war, and tho very large number Of claimants
upon their bounty, have necessitated an extraord-
nary effort to repenish the treasury; and the ener-
gehc committee of arrangements, assisted BY the
entire lodge, succeeded in bringing together o
large audience, and we hope, also, a large amount
Of money. @ 5
The concert has been long on the tapis, and,
thanks to the unwearied efforts OF Professors
BERKHAn and O'NEALE, and their able corps Of
volunteer assistants, everything passed of re-
rnarkably we'll
The Orchestra, although renraaented by six in
struments only, was excellent every man being
master Of his instrument. There were two violins
one bass violin, flute, clarionet and piano. They

GAeemed to be lack Of voices, particularly in the
Sbass. The Duett, sung by Miss G. R. and Mrs.
Eas-MEeDELsoHN's Sch acoUt naeine Lieb' ergosse
fsslch"-was interpreted with much taste and great
strfistic execution. Miss s. did herself brilliant
credit in her Piano Solo, and, being loudly encored
obliged the audience with second piece.
The solo tMerry Birds" by GusnEnT (ssIch bit
Euch, lie6e VoegeIein"); q very pretty song, waa
admirably executed by Mrs. Carroll. and earned
ample plaudits. Prof. O'NEALE sang the Tenor
Solo (No. on the programme), and always favor
1te with the public, was encored, and gratified his
admirers with repetition Of the song. The duett
''Quet Nara, Quet Terra" sung by Mrs. c. and Mr.
F., was conscientiously rendered, and followed by
the concluding chorus, the popular s'Away, Away!"

D1sRERuTABlE CHARAcTEns.-Our city has been
infested, for long time, with set Of lazy worth
less colored idlers, who have no apparent means
OF support, but are to be seen dressed in fine
clothes and lounging around the street corners.
These characters, who represent only a very small
portion Of the colored class, well known to the
police authorities and have been frequently de-
tected in gambling and in cheating the honest
country negroes out of their bard earned money
Within the past few weeks number Of robberies
have occurred, but in every instance the perpetra-
tors have been discovered and committed to Jail.
They have all been recognized as belonging to tile
crowd OF loafng vagrants mentioned above; and
deeming it a wise precaution, several more of the
same gang were arrested on a suspicion Of being
implicated in the late robberies. : 5
II this charge should be unfounded they can be
committed for vagrancy, which will have the effect
OF Kidding the city Of their presence for time,
and OF putting o curb on their propensity for ac-
curing property unlawfully. The military au-
il needed, aid the ponce nthe way, but WILL
securing suspicious persons. Since the incarce-
ration OF the eleven or twelve captured on We'd
nesday, the city has been comparatively quiet. and
though robberies viii still continue, tie certainty
that the thieves viii be punished viii have whole
some effect in preventing the rapid increase Of
crime.
CLEANING BRrcKs.-The Burnt District was orna-
mented during the greater portion Of last wear by
crowds OF busy freedmen who could be seen seated
in the shadow Of an old wall industrouely engaged
in cleaning the burnt bricks and pling them neat
ly In rows ready for use. This employment was at
one time 80 common, and the number Of freedmen
so numerous, that many persons imagined that
the day OF reconstruction had indeed arrived. and
the raids made upon the old walls was only the be-
ginning Of the new era. Unfortunately their orin-
ions were erroneous, and their dreams Of sscloud-
capped towers and gorgeous palaces" have faded
sand left only the rack behind. The industrious
freedmen dropped off one by cne, and, before the
results OF their work could be seen and apprecia-
ted, there WAS scarcelv a 1al,orar aft +horrh -.
