THE GREAT GERMAN SAENGERFEST.

To the Editor of the WoRKISGMAN's ADVOCATE
THE GREAT GERMAN sAENGERFEsT.
The eleventh "Saengerfest," of the North
Eastern Saengerband was opened here on
last Saturday evening, by grand torch
light procession and public reception Of the
singing societies 10 Monument Square. The
German population turned out en- mdSse, and
the square was packed with Teuton!c mass,
and the air was filed with harmonious
sounds from thousands of voices addresses
in English and German and the song Of
welcome was sung with great effect. Along
the line Of procession the houses of German
people were beautifully decorated with ever
greens. Barnum's City Hotel made grand
play of Chinese lanterns and variegated
lights. The Eutaw-hesd- quarters Of the
New York " Leider Krau'z, was beauti-
fully illuminated.- The Concordia, "a
German club and opera house-was magni-
ticently decorated, having large transpa-
rency, representing Song, in part Of the
building, and display profuslon OF flags.
The blIlding was thrown open to the public
on this occasion.

the strangers were stopping we're open, and
in the evening there was grand concert at
the Maryland institute, given, by one thou
sand male and one thousand Rnale singers.
Notwithstanding the intense heat the large
hail OF the Institute was crowded to Its full
est capacity,
On Monday there was a grand parade,
consisting OF the militia, who were ordered
out BY the Governor, ard AL the singing as
sociations, together with the butchers and
tie bakers, the latter having on a wagon a
miniature oven, in which they were baking
pretzelS, and distributing them along the
line Of processiod. The Governor and staff
accompanied the procession, which passed la
review in front Of the ConcoTdia Hail.
The prize concerts at the Maryland lnsti-
tute. and the pic-nics at the "Shutzer
Park" occupied the remainder of the week.
The CITY put on its holiday attire, and the
festival vas apparently as much enjoyed by
our native citizens as it was by the German
population. .In all it's features it was
grand affair, and nothing occurred during
tue whole festival which could be construed
into a dissgreeable or disgraceful feature.
1t was mirth without drunkenness, and joy
without dissipation.

A Hint.


We learn from several Of our cQExespon-
dents that number Of the delegates to the
forthcoming Labor Congress have Leen in
structed to present the various views Of their
constituents upon this and that subject, and
80 far as the nature of their instructions
have been made public, We fail to 6nd little
if any semblance between any Of them.
Now, while no party disputes the right Of
any legally accredited delegate to present the
views Of his league or union, no matter what
they may be, we trust the privilege will not
be strained. Pain, practical legislation is
the grand des,deratum, and to this end tie
efforts Of every man should be directed.
NEW YORK, July 2O.-At an interview o-day
with the reporter of the Times at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, Mr. Koopmanschof importer Of
Chinese oolies, states that it was his intention
to import 100000 of these men during the
coming summer, and hire them ont at-from So
to $l2 per month and their keeping;
If Koopmanschof AND his abdstbrs are not
very careful, we are afraid there will be a
little coping" done flor the Chinese
Empire, and that too, before long.

'four years agoa tanner Of Dion, who had
affirmed that the French budget represented
in bank notes the hight of the steepe Of ST.

Poliece on a charge OF seditious language
In court, however, he maintained his asser
ton with vigor and was acquitted. The Judge
in fact evinced some shrewdness on the
occasion and admitted implicitly that the
accused was not in error. A thousand notes

The ELECTION.-rhe election yester-
day passed off quietly, although good
deal of activity was displayed by the
friends of the candidates. The vote
polled was not as large as was antici-
pated, and fell far short of the registra-
ton. The excitement upon the streets
early last evening was intense, but sub
sided greatly after the Island returns
came in. Large crowds collected upon
the street corners, at the club room, and
at the City Hall. A good many betting
transactions were current, the resort to
the money argument concluding many
disputes, which, in the absence of full
returns, could not otherwise be settled.
Owing to the unusual amount of split.
ting and scratching practiced by the
voters, there was great delay ia count
ing the ballots. Complete returns not
coming in until late hour, we close
this form without tkem, and refer our
readers to the first page for figures.
