The New York Tribune, CONNIE ting upon
the abstract Of General Scott's forthcoming
message, published in The DAILY NEWS, says
r.ssEoyernor Scott's message to. the new Leg
islature Of South Carolina is q model OF wise
and generous statesmanship. Its recommen-
dstion that the Legislature abolish all political
disabilities, so that every citizen may vote and
{ hold Office, notwithstanding his prominence in
the late rebellion, is the dictate Of naked good
sense, but Of that good sense true courage is
vital ingredient. Let the present Legislature
proclaim and Enact universal amnesty, and it
wiIfbe wholly impossible for the minority ever
! toaubYert impartial suffrage. South Carolina
is fairly on the highroadt to lasting peace, and
for this much credit is due to Governor Scott
IA few weeks since London had one of the
largest musical festivals ever given. The me-
tropolis could not furnish singers in sufficient
numbers, and almost every large town in Eng
land where there is choral society was dram
upon. These several bands were separately
trained and only came together as grand
chorus on Friday before the festival. The
great choir reached over thirty-fve hundred,
! and the orchestra consisted Of five hundred
performers. The festival was given in the
Crystal Palace, which had been 80 arranged as
to accommodate an audience Of thirty thou
sand persons. The performances were wholly
Of Hanaers compositions, the oratorios Of the
xsMsssiahn end 'sIsrael in Egypt" being given
in fun, together with selections from si1 other
oratorios. The soloists included all the best
opera and oratorio singers now in London,
Miss Kellogg being one OF the number.
The Anglican Church, while claiming to
!. be the only religious organization entitled to
respect in Great Britain, does not treat the
lower orders of the clergy in way calculated
to support the dignity Of the establishment.
For instance, in the Guardian there recently
appeared an advertisement headed "A Curate
and his sister wanted" and then proceeding
s.the curats to assist the rector, the sister to
be daily goYerness to the rector's chi ildren; the
: curate in time to take part in educating the
children; the stipend at first to be according
TO the qualifications and experience OF the
sister" This method Of treating an assistant
clergyman as hireling will do more to break
down the Established Church than all the
efforts Of Gladstone to regulate the Irish
Church. OF this result many good church
men are conscious, and are now complaining
that curates are advertised for without any re-
gard for their spiritual calling. Wanted, o
gardener and his wife, or q footman and house
maid. appear in the same columns in which a
.situation is offered to curate and his sister.
The great German Schutzenfest in New
York, now in progress in Jones' Woods, began
on Saturday last, and will be kept up the whole
OF this week. These great festivals are pecu'
4iarity of the German people. They gather by
thousands and engage in their favorite sports
enjoy themselves to the full withou
allowing their sociableness to degenerate
into riot, and disperse in good humo
to meet again harmoniously. As New
York contemporary puts it, ''they have com
passed the mystery OF getting merry with
out getting drunk, and free fight is not one
of those blessings of perfect liberty for which
they are ever signing in philosophy and song
The particular gathering nov taking place III
New York is very interesting. Germans IRON
the Fatherland are there with Germans IRON
almost every State in the Union, to compete
