think that there were other remedies much moro prac
uoable and eKpedent."
1t seems to us that Mr.. Stephens here re-
peats his old blunder, and that it is one which
threatens to be mischievous. Mr.. Stephens ID
1860 believed Secession rightful but inexpe-
dent. He now says the South (.is South) has
abandoned SecessiOn-that it is no longer re-
garded by her as practical remedy for Fed
eral abuses and usurpations. We accept this
statement rs true of course, so far as MI
Stephens is concerned. Others will speak tOr
themselves But consider:
/. The Federal Constitution, as originally
ratified, either authorized State Secession or 1t
did not. Mr.. Stephens says it did.
II. If it eper authorized that resort 1t n0w
authorizes it for no Amendment since adopted
has taken from the States the right to secede.
III. If the power to secede is reserved by the
States, certain of them may at any time see ut
to exercise it. The fact that Mr. Stephens IN
1860 did not deem such exercise expedent
did not prevent Georgia's secession then, and
may not at the next attempt
w. Should Georgia resolve to secede, she
will have Mr.. Stephens's assertion OF her right
to do so in black and white. Having seeded,
she will reassert her paramount authority, ana
command his acquiescence. Aud he will be con-
strained by his own proclaimed principles to
obey her then, as he did in 1860.
On the whole, we submit that Mr.. Stephens
should write as beseems q reconstructed
Unionist, OF mark his letters private" and
keep them so.
Mr.. Stephenss error is one. eminently prac-
teal. A good many men, who had been edu-
Gated at West Point by the Union for the
Union left her service in 1861 to lead the armies
raised to destroy her. Many of them, in
Guiding the most eminent, have recorded their
conviction that Secession was neither necessary
nor expedient yet even Gen. Lee felt con-
strained by such considerations as moved Mr..
Stephens to ego with his State"
Now we have no taste for digging up the
moldering bones of bygOne controversies
"Let the dead bury their dead" We do not
quarrel with those who thought and acted as
Mr.. Stephens or Gen. Lee did in 1s601G1, as to
the prOpriety of such action then. But we have
a country, a government, a Military and a Naval
service, with costly schools to match; and we
do most earnestly protest against commissioning
or training one more Military or Naval officer
who holds that a State may rightfully secede
from the Union, and call with authority on
her sons to follow her. The country has no
money to spare to educate soldiers whom an-
other power (or forty others) may command to
draw their swords against her. Let bygones
be bygones; but let us have clear under
standing and plain chart as to the future.

1t is announced that the Philharmonic So
ciety is making arrangements for grand
musical festival to be held in this city some
time next year. Enterprises of this sort are
among the best of the good results which we
trust will flow from the recent Jubilee in Bos-
ton. we presume there will be no attempt
either to rival or to initiate the great affair In
our sister city, for we cannot hope to surpass
it in its own line, and we shall only provoke
unfortunate comparisons if we try. But we can
have a festival of very different sort, one III
which the manufacture of popular enthusiasm
and the collection of enormous masses of peo-
pie, either as audience or as performers, shall
be entirely subservient to the interests of art
We can have q festival in which a series OF
the grandest works of the best composers shall
he presented, in whatever manner may best fit
their proper Interpretation, without regard to the
numbers required to take part in them. If we
do this we shall win the gratitude of all lovers
of art, and secure for New-YOrk a reputation
in which she is now very deficient. The profits
of the coming festival are to be devoted to the
erection of a grand music hall-furDished, we
devoutly hope, with a grand organ. For oldl-
nary musical performances the Academy and
Steinway Hall are sufficient; but evidently we
need something on a still larger scale for ex-
ceptional occasions; and as for an organ, there
is none in any public hall in NewY York except
the exasperating box of whistles at Steinway's.
