HAYDEN's MASS in b fat, upon which the
mass society, under the direction of Mr.. Den.
nett, has been engaged for some time, was per-
formed last evening at the residence of Bishop
Bacon. This society is composed of about 20
of our first vocalists, all of whom we believe
are pupils of Mr.. bennett, which fact Is no
faint compliment to his teaching.
The voices are all young and fresh, very pure
in quality and show great deal of cultivation,
and tiroir fidelity of -1eo,.tian and haanty of
expression, gave unmistakable evidence of the
diligence and skill with which they have stud
led this grand composition.
For several years this society has brought
out during the winter months one or more Of
these great works, although this is the first time
this one has been produced in Portland, and to
our ear it contains some Of the finest gems in
music, among which may be mentioned the
Gratias Agtmus (quartette); Et Lscarnatas
(sextette) and the Benedictus tquartette). In
the sextettc the effect of the three female
voices is.very fine. All the concerted pieces as
the performance was grand and impressive.
Mr.. Libby, the organist of the church accom-
panies the performers admirably.
This mass is to be performed at midnight and
at half past ten the ensuing forenoon, Christ.
mas day. at the Catholic chapel.
About fifty invited guests were present last
evening to listen to the rehearsal The spacious
rooms of the Bishop are well adapted for music
of this character.

AN EXTRAORDINARILY AFFAIR. - Whoever
has any acquaintance with the newspaper
world need not be told shat Mr.. Samuel
Bowles of the Springfield Republican is one
of the most accomplished editors in America.
A strange and almost unprecedented adyen-
ture befei this gentleman in New York Tues
day. He was seized while standing in tle hall
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, dragged TO car
riage, hsrried TO Ludlow street Jail, wbsre he
was refused the privilege Of seeing his friends
or holding any communication with the out
side world. The prosecution upon which he
was arrested was one instituted by the notori-
GUS Erie conspirator, james Fisle, ir., and the
warrant was issued by the equally notorious
Judge McCunn. The occasion of the pro.
ceedings was the publication OF an article in
the Republican in which the life and charac-
ter of Fiske were portrayed in pretty lively
colors. This should be q warning to all news
paper men. The rascals of the Erie corpora
ton are ornnipotent and woe to the man who
exposes their yiilainy.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

FsLlOlC-clizens oftle General assembly:
Upon your assembling to enter
again upon the duty of Legislating for
the welfare Of the people of Ohio, the
Governor is required by the COnstitu-
tion to communicate to you the con-
dition of the State, and to recon
mend such measures as he shall deem
expedient- The reports OF the Execu-
tive officers of the State, and of the
heads of the State institutions, are re-
quired by law to be made to the Gov
ernor on or before the Goth day of
November of each year. Since that
date, sufficient time has not elapsed
for the publication of the reports, and
/ shall therefore not be able at the
opening of your present session to lay
before you a detailed exposition of the
affairs of the various departments Of
the State government. 1t will be my
purpose in this communication to in
Vite your attention to brief sugges-
tions In relation to some measures
which are deemed important, and
which may be considered and acted
upon, if you think it advisable, in adj
vance of the publication of the official
reports.
The financial affairs of the State
government are in a satisfactory con-
dition. The balance in the Treasury
on the 18th of November, 1867, was
$677, 990.76; the receipts during the
last fiscal year were $4,347, ,4S4.S2; max

WHIrE--In 1867 when state after
state voted to retain the word white
in their various constitutions the
copperhead democracy assumed for
granted that that forever settled the
question. 1t seems their forever is q
short one, for at the presidential cleo
tion the other day this very question
was at issue In Iowa and Minnesota,
and in both cases it was decided to
expunge the word white from their
constitutions by decided majorities.
This conservative party, as it some
times calls itself, must learn that the
world moves-that reforms never ad-
vance backward.-MdSSiLLon Ind.
