Great Musical Festival.

One of the greatest musical festivals
which has ever transpired in the west, en-
titled the German Sangeltest, was opened
yesterday in the city Of Chicago, and will
hold until Sunday evening This is the
sixteenth annual Festival and is upon a
more colossal scale, than any which has
preceded it. Delegations from various
musical Societies in the United States and
in Europe, are in attendance Germany
is represented by some of the most dis
tinguished musical characters for which it
country is noted. Besides the Rep resen-
tatives OF the Societies from abroad, mum
bering over fifteen hundred voices, there
IS an orchestra of one hundred and fifty
instruments composed of bands from Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, New York, sc.
The Chicago Journal speaks of this
great musical entertainment as follows:
"The programme is brilliant one, and the
occasion will unquestionably be one of the
greatest ever experienced in this country.
Few who have not heard it can realize the ex.
qulslte thrilling sensation produced by united
hundreds swelling into a full tide of choral
song. The effect is stupendous, there is
nothing in instrumental music which car
compare with ii no solemn roll of sanity
organ, no Gottschalk crash, smash dash, o,
sixty pianoes, no creaking and .groanino OF
six hundred philharmonic fiddlcs, can give
any idea OF what these glorious chants viii
be. Sweet, solemn, and sonorous, they vii
I'LL the ear with sweetest melody, and The
heart with holy emotions. These songs will
De for all who attend an era in lite never to
be forgotten, and those who do not attend viii

NATIONAL HORSE FAIR AT BELvIDERE.-Ar-
rangements have been made for holding
Grand National Horse Fair in Illinois, in the
town of BelVidere, on the LIST, End, Sd, and
4th days of July. Judging from the character
of the gentlemen who have charge of this
matter, and the liberal and extensive arrange
ments they have made, we are led to believe
that this will be an occasion of unusual in
terest and importance. The premiums will
be numerous and liberal, and will be paid in
money.
The owners of horses in Kenosha county
viii doubtless feel IN interest in the Fair, es-
pecially as the distance from here to Belyi-
dere is comparatively small.

MANuFAcTURE OF ICE.-The manufac
lure OF ice during hot weather, is no new
discovery 1t has been done both in this
country and in Europe for dozen or
more years past A New Orleans paper
states, that company lately formed in
that city is now producing twenty tons OF
ice per day, which is sold at three fourths
of cent per pound. This is said to be
one-half less than the people of that city
have heretofore paid for ice shipped from
the north.

RITUhLlsM.-It appears that ritualism
continues to be a disturbing element in
the EpiscopQ Church Several of the
Diocesan Conventions the present year
i'll the middle and eastern States, have
been agitated by this question: It would
seem from the action of these bodies,th that
ritualism is growing in strength In the
Western Diocese Of Pennsylvania, appli-
cation was made for the admission Of a
new church, and was objected to, on the
ground of alleged ritualistic
practices. The objection was over-ruled
by the Convention A Revered clergy
man in advocating the admission, is re-
ported as follows:
He recognized the Roman Church. Though
erring, and the Oriental Greek Church as
branches of the Episcopal Church-the HOLY
Catholic Church. He hoped to see a Union of
the branches: we could not expect to see the
Roman Church or the Oriental Church come
all the way to the Protestant Episcopal
Church of America.

DEMOCRACY ON CHAsE-The New
York FTeenan's Journal, an old establish
ed Democratic paper and of the Catholic
faith, discourses of Chase as follows:
"Mr. Chase certainly, ought to run for
President-but on his own hook, as a con
sistent Republican. The Democratic par
ty, this time, are in earnest in meaning to
have candidate inside their party. They
have been beaten often enough by trying
to get the vast Democratic party, at the
whistle OF the managers, to run for some
body because he a0asDt Democrat"
If Chase should be nominated by the
Democratic Convention. this fiery Demo
cratic sheet will probably meekly accept
him, and support what it now calls u
"Black Republican"

FREEDGANs' BUREAU bill for the
continuance of the Freedmans' Bureau,
one year from the first of July next, has
passed both Houses of Congress.
The bill directs the functions of the
Bureau shall be re-established where they
have been discontinued, if the Secretary
Of War shall deem proper and the same
officer shall have poweralso to discontinue
the Bureau in any state whenever the
same shall be again admitted and repre-
sented in Congress. The educational di-
vision Of the Bureau is not to be interfered
with until a provision for the education of
the blacks is made by the States indica-
ted
The Freedmans Bureau, has been a
necessary provision of the General Gov
eminent for the protection of the emanci-
pated colored people at the South also
for the establishment and maintenance of
educational institutions. Schools for the
colored people would have been an i'm
possibility, in a majority of cases, but for
the protection of the Freedmans Bureau.

Some Of the leading democrats. are now

Some of the leading democrats, are now
fully comprehending the situation, and
are making haste to secure the help of the
negro, in the emergency. The following
from the Chicago Tribune is in point
The New York World is generally
prompt in recognizing an accomplished
fact It does not believe that General
Jackson is the Democratic candidate for
President this year 1t is fullyaware that
fine war is ended, and that it was not III all
respects failure. Ithas learnt that seven
of the seeding States have been recon-
structed, and that they will be 49,. r.
stored to the Union within few weeks,
It does not propose to conduct the com
ing campaign on the issue of putting those
States out Of the Union again-not even
Alabama. 1t contents itself with ealing
the thing an outrage, and making the oest
of it. The World has also made the as
coyery that the negroes ofthe seven states,
and perhaps of the remaining three, are to
vote at the next Presidential election. So,
without more ado it calls on the Democ-
racy to pitch in and get as many negro
votes as possible 1t solicits Sambo and
Ponpey for their most sweet voices. 1t
says:
'.For our part, we do not yet see the
wisdom of letting the seventy electoral
votes 90 by default and turn the scale
against US. We had rather see Demo
cratic President elected by negro votes,
since. in spite of all we can do, vote the
negroes will, either for us or against US.
We need to bring over but small per
centaoe Of them to carry our. Southern
state A man may reasonably Obj ect to be-
inc soused into muddy mill-pond, and
is a fool if he does not struggle with all
his might against the attempt of a gang
of rufians to finglim in; but being in, he
is equally fool if he prefers to sink rath-
er than save his life by swimming in such
dirty water
So it appears that the contest is not to
be on the issue of preventing the negroes
from voting, after ALL On the contrary,
it is struggle to see which party shall
obtain the greater number Of negro votes
Two years hence it will be race to see
which shall do the most for educating the
blacks and securing to them honest wages
and decent protection. All the high
rhetoric concerning the white
mans government, negro supremacy, wa1
of races, etc, has disappeared, or if not
entirely hushed, will be so after the next
Presidential election.

WE SEE 1T STATED in an exchange pa
per, that by preconcerted movement,
our Democratic friends are more than
usually active in getting up Fourth of
July celebrations this year The reason
alledged is, that the sound of cannon
music, and demonstrations of popular joy,
may be construed as an expr ession of the
IJubllance Of the people, over the Demo
cratic National Convent ion, which assem-
bles in New York city on that day. We
are unwilling to assume such to be the
fact. But even if it were true it furnish
es no reason why Republicans should stand
aloof from an appropriate observance of
the day. There never was period in
our history, when the great doctrines of
the rights of all men, as proclaimed in
the Declaration of American Independence,
have become so fully to be realized as
now. For three quarters Of century the
great truth, that all men are created free
and equal, was every year read in the hear
ing of assembled thousands, throughout
the length and breadth Of the land, yet
never practically applied; millions were
enslaved and sold as cattle in the market.
The sentiment of "inalienable rights" was
secuted as a mere rhetorical flourish of
Thomas efferson.
But now the Declaration of Independ-
ence may be read, and its full import and
application to all without distinction may
be realized, as those who originally APP
pended their names to that instrument in
tended it should be. The signers Of that
document, no doubt anticipated the time
near at hand, when all men would stand
as equals before the law The consuma-
ton of their hopes was long delayed; but
it has come at last. Patriotic men will
delight more than ever, to hear the Declar-
alton of Independence read, and to com
memorate the achievements of our ReVolu-
tionary Fathers, be cause they now behold
the fulfillm ent Of the promises of 1776.

Corporal Punishment in School.

A Committee in the Massachusetts
Legislature last week, made an elaborate
report on the subject of corporal punish
ment in school. The report presents an
argument against fogging, supported by
the opinions of the most distinguished ed
ucational men in this country. The com
mittee state that Corporal punishments,
have been abolished in Prussia, Holland
Austria, France and in some parts Of this
country. The report Of the Massachusetts
Committee, was adopted in the House, but
rejected in the Senate The objection tax
en- In the Senate was that the allowing of
corporal punishment was necessary as a
threat, even if not practiced; and that
while the use of it, should be restrained
as much as possible, it should not be en-
tlrely taken away, as nothing else is equal
~ efhcaclous as last resort.
