seventeen pages of musical news, re-
views, and choice art items, every line
of which is readable, and we should say,
inraluaJle to all musicians. This alone is
we'll worth years subscription, which
is only 81. The publishers, however,
do not stop here, for, in additionto the
above, each number contains four pieces
of choice neu music by the best ,oriters in
America, thus giving a select library of
new music at such low rate that even
the poorest may indulge in what has
hitherto been considered luxury.
The music in the Review is of the best,
as the following select list will testify,
all of which has appeared within its
pages during the last six montls;-
MORA O'Neal," "Katy McFerran,"
"You've been a friend to me- and
"Kiss me goodbye, darling" all by
WILL. S. HAYS; s'Good-bye, but come

The House Of Representatives have added
two specifications to the impeachment arti-
cles-both on motion Of B. f. Butler. This
refined gentleman accuses the President of
unbecoming conduct while Swinging round
the circles" and charges him with having
once denounced Congress as an unconstitu-
tional body. If the farce could possibly have
been made broader than it was, this proceed
ing would make it too ludicrous to be borne.
The idea of impeaching and deposing a Presi-
dent ON Buffers allegation Of ungentlemanly
conduct, and for the expression Of legal
opinion, could have occurred only to the vim
dictive and shameless partisans who control
the Republican party. On such theory as
that no man in the world could hold the Office
of President for day if he happened to dis
agree with Congress in political opinion.

Judge Underwood, of Virginia, is president
of the carpet-bag convention. judge of the
United States District Court, and United
States senator elect This combination of
functions and duties may be rather incon-
gruous; but il is not beyond the ability of
patriot like This deserving citizen. To be a
judge, conventioner, and supposititious
senator is something extraordinary, to be
sure; but at the same time, admirable. when
We consider the merit of the recipient Of these
distinguished honors. There is one point,
however, which seems to require explanation.
As a politician and conventioner, Judge
Underwood denies that Virginia is in the
Union; but. nevertheless, he is in the habit
of ranking documents as United States sena-
tor. This is precedent for the other sena-
tors and representatives from the Southern
States, who have been excluded from Con-
gress. Why should they not have the same
rights as Underwood, unless that they are
"rebels" and he is carpet-bag patriot
