The CONCERT LAST EVENING. - Professor
Wallach's concert at City Hall last evening,
was very well attended, although the hall was
not densely packed as we had expected, when,
ia addition to Prof. Walach, those other pop
ular artists were announced to appear. We
cannot say that we were ever more highly
pleased with musical entertainment than
with that given last evening. The whole was
capital. Of the music on the harmonica, we
can say that it was very pleasing indeed. Some
passages rendered on this instrument were
surprisingly sweet and distinct. Mrs Hall
and Miss Barton are each destined to achieve
an epviable reputation in their profession, and
they certainly bear favorable comparison
with any OF the foreign celebrities that have
ever visited our shores. Mr.. Barnabee is re-
al genius. He can laugh as easy as cry, and
cry as easy as laugh. We heard remark by a
lady that she wanted his photograph but the
word "album" was not mentioned-a eompli-
ment. His voice is very strong and remarka-
bly, musical.e Mr.. T. P. Ryder, as pianist, is
a splendid performer, and after his rendition of
/" Revere " was twice encored; the last time
he performed the wonderful accomplishing nt
of playing two different pieces at the same
time MIR. Macdonald has very rich tenor
voice. and with Mrs. Barton in !" Una notte
Venezia,' it harmonized beautifully. The
combination, altogether, is a very fine one, and
each performer was applauded in a manner
that showed they were appreciated, and led us
to believe that Portland people are not so diff
fcult in this respect as ACCUSATIONS would in
dictate. May we be favored with another visit
from them. E ~.

RECONSTRUCTION ON THR PEABODY PLAN
DR.. Seers, to whom was entrusted the distri-
button of the Peabody fund for the encourage
ment Of education in the South, is actively at
work. The whole sum is to be used to encour-
age local effort, and not as q naked gratuity
Any Southern community that will raise a
sum for the support Of schools is to receive
fourth of such sum in addition from the Pea
body fund. Especial encouragement is to be
given to normal schools, SO as to get common
schools thoroughly established as part of the
educational system of the South. .., d..
D. When Mr.. Peabody, who is undoubtedly a
conservative and afiliates with politicians Of
the Robert @. Winthrop class, first instituted
this great charity, there may have been very
"a slight feeling of chagrin among Northern peo-
pie, because he did not recognize that part Of
the country which gave him birth, in the most
generous donation which he made on this side
ofthe Atlantic. But whatever may have been
his motives or the political or social consider
atoms which determined his action in the
matter, time and reflection will show that his
benevolence could have been exhibited in no
other way which would have been of so much
value even to the North. A common school
and as well sustained as those at the North
would in short time bring the whole popula-
ton into complete accord with the rest of the
country so far as a sentiment of nationality
and patriotism is concerned. Rebellions
would heneeforth become an impossibility
and illiberal institutions an abomination. A
sehoolmaster in a village would be better than
company ofinfantry as stimulant for loyal
sentiment. For the present the educational
movement which gains an impetus from Mr..
i' Peabody's gift is valuable auxiliary Of mill
tary government; but it will ultimately become
q a complete and pleasant alternative for it. In
England Mr.. Peabody's benevolence is recog-
nized and rewarded In Characteristic man
ner. Instead of seconding his efforts for the
amelioration of the hardships of the poor the
wealthy classes see nothing better to do than to
erect costly statue to the philanthropist.
But in America it is to be hoped that the
cause of education at the South may be SO ad-
Sanced by donations supplemented to that Of
Mr.. Peabody that a whole people redeemed
from ignorance and its attendant ills will be
an enduring monument of the hberality Of his
views and the kindness of his heart

THE NEW MINISTER TO WAsHrNaToN.--The
following letter appeared in the London News
of the 4th of January: 4.....
t The Times has renewed its attack on the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Thornton as Minister at
Washington, and recommends the substitution
OF parliamentary lord, mentioning several of
eminence. Mr.. Thornton has been appointed
as the ablest man in the diplomatic service at
Lord Stanley's disposal, and the question thus
raised by the Times is the important one.
whether diplomacy ought to be governed by
the ordinary rules OF promotion subject to fit
ness, or whether it ought to be open to parlia-
mentary ambition. Before this question is de-
cided adversely to Mr.. Thornton's mission to
Washington, let us recollect that diplomacy as
service 20 governed has given us Lord STRAIT
Hamilton at ST. Petersburg, Sir James Hud-
son at Florence and Turin, Lord Cowley at
Paris, Sir Henry Bulwer and Lord Lyons at
Washington, and Lord Clarendon himself at
Madrid. Contrast these men at those posts
with what parliamentary appointments have
done in Lord Normandy at Paris and Flor
ence, in Lord Ashburton and his scapitula-
ton at Washington, in Mr.. Shiel in italy,
The balance, submit is largely in favor of
adhering to diplomacy as service, and against
matte positions. But we don't know il is said,
Mr.. Thornton. Of course, a man compelled to
pass his life in the service of the state in dis
tant countries can't be as well known as man
VINO occupies prominent position in party
and parliamentary lite at home. But when
we see man, without influence and uncon-
nected with great families, steadily promoted
in his profession by a succession of foreign
minister's as opportunities arise; when we see
that man esteemed and appreciated in the coun-
tries in which he has resided, both by natives
and English; when we see that his reputation
has travelled before him to the country to
which he is now accredited, we may be toler-
ably certain that he owes his promotion in his
profession to his own merits and capacity, and
that he is competent man. -. ~ I

GENERAL HANCOCK AND LoNGsTREET.-A

The annual meeting of the Portland (horse)
Railroad Company took place yesterday after
noon. The report of the Treasurer, NJ. G.
Falmer, Esq, was presented and accepted
The Treasurer's report shows that while he
has received S50,417 50 for the year 1867 he has
paid ont S5275O42, and there was Jan. /, 1868,
unpaid bills To the amount Of s., 22o21, show
ing deficiency of about $4,000, A part of
this Is accounted for By having hay and grain
on hand to the amount of $2.85075. .-.-a---
In his concluding remarks Mr.. Palmer the
Treasurer, says: "The falling off of more than
$4,000 in receipts from passengers for the year
will, without doubt, be attributed to the rise in
fares, but closer examination will hardly al
low that such is the case-for during the first
three months of the year the receipts were
S23oO.0O less than the same three months last
year; and theasu6iect of raising fares was not
mentioned until August. think the real
cause may be found in the fact that in the ear
ly part of the year the travelling was unfavor-
able for our business, and the stringenvy in the
money market later in the season induced ma
ny to use their own means of locOmotion.-
While the success of the Road is far below our
wishes and hopes, we will not forget that when
this enterprise was started it was looked upon
as doubtful experiment at least. And no &c,
compared with other enterprises started at
about the same time and since, we may con-
slider ourselves fortunate that our funds are
invested in this Company rather than in the
"Dirigo ms. Co.." New York and Portland
Steam Packet Co, ""Shovel Company" DRY
Dock Co" "Farnsworth Wooden Company"
"Paper Company" or many Others to say
nothing of OIL coal and copper companies too
numerous to mention-for while some of the
companies have entirely played out we have
the full amount of our investment left in our
road bed and track, real estate aud personal
property. IS DAB9 a17''~
The real cause OF want of better success is
almost entirely attributable to the high price
OF feed, a subject beyond the control of your
officers. The difference in the price of hay and
grain makes difference of dividend on the
stock. This contingency is partly provided
against for another year. The Superintendent
has purchased nearly years stock of excel
lent hay at prices ranging from $1S to$20 per.
ton, and should grain fall in the same pro-
portion YOU may reasonably expect the next
report to be more favorable" @ al

Political Notes.

The Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says the statement that
Generals Grant and Sherman have advised
Mr.. Stanton to resign is incorrect. Neither
Of them have been asked for any advice, and
they are not the men to tender it masked.
The Post Office Department spent about a..
100000 more than 1t earned last year. The ex-
tension of the mail service into the Southern
States was the chiif cause of the deficiency.
Anna Dickinson has selected Chief Justice
Chase as her candidate for President. b.Ia,
'The venerable Frank Blair" gives up Grant.
He tells his friends that she once had great
confidence in General Grant, but that he had
been mistaken in the man, as he regarded
Grant now to be fully commits to the for
tunes Of the Radical party" . .. ~
