Tue LATE CONCERT.-We took occasion
last week to enter cur protest against a GER
tain song cnpts sined in the programme pre-
seuted al the recent base ball concert given
in this place. but SO far were from impu-
ting to Mr. Kerr any unworthy motives in
selecting said song. that we refrained from
mentioning HIS name in our remarks regard
ing it. Mr.. K. is too much Of gentleman
not to respect the feelings If others, no mat
ter how widely he may differ with them on
any sui jet. and We express the general
opinion when we say that his error in this
instance was one Of the head ard not Of the
heart. Ne feel sure that Mr. X. thanks us
for what We said last wetk, as il has afford
ed him the opportunity to place himself
fright on the record, ;" which be does very
satisfactorily in the following brief note:

We agree with the remarks of the New

kept more socially they should not be kept
at all. That paper says that "Ne1c York

it may be said of any city and town. A
