strated THAI It was not adequate to accommo-
date all who sought to gain entrance. The
building was filed to Its utmost capacity.
while many were disappointed in being un.
able 10 obtain admttance. On the outside of
the building, in its near vicinity, multitude
of not less than five thousand persons had as
sembled to hear the music, nor were they dis
appointed, for through the many open win
dows of the vast ediflce the volumes Of harmo-
az floated out upon the night air, producing a
grander and more beautiful effect for the en-
joyment of those outside than those inside the
hall The orchestra on this occasion number
ed about one hundred and fifty performers,
who rendered the instrumental portion OF
the exercises in manner to gain much ap-
plause from the audience.
An increased interest was manifested IN the
concert of Thursday evening, from the fact
that the body OF singers was to be much larger
than on Wednesday evening" and that this was
the first opportunity Of hearing the foreign
singing societies. It is scarcely necessary to
say thattheir singing gave great satisfaction.
The Chicago societies especially distinguished
themselves; yet it is the general impression
that none of the societies dn attendance this
year will gain 30 many laurels as the 6rpheus
of Cincinnati.
There will be grand concerts on Friday and
Saturday evenings, and the festivities of the
occasion will close with a monster picnic on
Sunday. The Fest has been grand success
in every respect, and the vast number OF Ger
mans in attendance have had week of genR-
inc fatherland bliss.

what injured by the long drought in May, the
heads being considerably dwarfed. but the
grains are large and plump, and not having
Been damaged by rust or blight of any kind,

of the farm and plantation has been much re-
tarded of late by continued and almost every

suit, has serious hold upon the crop. We have
heard of cotton being piouShed up and the

prospect of successful cultivation OF the for-
mer. The crop generally does not promise

season prove unfavorable, the aggregate pro-

area of land in cultivation Is larger. The corn

hrevails of drought In July, which would

TIE GRATITUDE OF REPUBLICS
A Broken-down and Neglected Ameri-
can General.
The New York correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial writes

The New York correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial writes:
The cable dispatch from France, about the
of Fort Sumter fame, Is almost tragical, In
view of his physicians direction for a change
of climate as the only means of saving his life.
General Anderson was broken in health, If not
In heart, when he was compelled to leave New
York year ago. He was unable to pay his
very moderate expenses here out OF the petty
income allowed him by Congress, after his re-
for the purpose of living as economically as
possible, In some small town Of Germany or
France. He lost his property during the
war, and though he tried hard to get
some remuneration for it from Congress, he
failed. He was greatly discouraged by
this, and also at the way In which his
patriotic services at the opening of the
war were sighted, Before leaving here, he
offered his private library for sale, as means
Of meeting the expenses of his family on
their passage to Europe. There were in this
library many valuable books of military and
scientific kind, for which he hoped to obtain
good prices. But though els friends of the
press called attention. to the sale, he realized
very little from 1t, few of the books bringing
one-quarter Of their cost or value. He lett
here poor man, shattered In constitution,
and with an income so small that he had very
hard work to cover the necessary expenses OF
his family. He has been living tor some time
past in an humble way at the French town Of
Tours, from which we now receive the reports
OF his dangerous illness. It seems strange
that some Of the rich men Of New York, who
have lately raised large sums of money to
keep the families of Stanton and Rawlins,
after Stanton and Rawlins were dead, have
not make up patriotic fund in the name of
Robert Anderson, while he Is yet alive. There
has been no secret about his poverty or about
the insufficiency of his income, and the rea-
sons for his going abroad have been repeatedly
published In the newspapers.

The BEETHOVEN CENTENNIAL.-The Beetho-
ven centennial festival at New York is thing
of the past, but the Tribune is following it up
with caustic criticism. 1t says:
In pecuniary sense, the festival must have
been disastrous. In an artistic sense, despite
some excellent performances to which we
have done full justice, from time to time, it
has also been bad failure. A Beethoven fes-
tival it has not been in any sense Of the word.
During the whole eleven concerts only two
compositions by Beethoven have been played,
and both were played badly. There has been
very little classical music of any kind. The
musical portion of the community has conse-
quently Viewed the enterprise with dlsfavor,
and the intelligent and cultivated classes Of
the city have looked upon it asa huge hum
bug. The exaggerations, not to Say false pre-
tences. OF the advertisements were too fla
grant to be excused. The blunders and con-
fusion in the management were too obvious to
escape notice, and too annoying to be borne
with patience.

WASHINGTON, June %.
Amos T. Akerman, Of Georgia, was con-
Armed today as,Attorney-G General, without OBJ

The revenue from customs for the week
ending June Is, was three and quarter mil

VIM. W. Bell was nominated Us collector for
the third district Of Mississippi.
The viceroy of India at Bombay and the

graphic connection between the two coun-
tries.
SENATE.
The Senate Committe on Foreign Affairs
Cuba resolutions substantially proclaim belllge-
rent lights to Cubans, and reassert the Mon
roe doctrine. Sumner made the report. 1t
demands immediate emancipation of slaves,
and exacts other conditions from Spain. They
cause much excitement and some astonish-
ment.
Casserly objected to the immediate ccnsid-
Grafton Of the Cuban resell utions.
Sumner replied that they had been carefully
considered in committee.
Howard thought they might as well vete on
the question now.
Casserly persisting in his objection, the mat
ter goes over.
The Chinese Labor bill was postponed on ac-
count Of the illness of Casserly, who desires to
amend 1t. In the course Of the debate the dis
position to Interfere with Chinese contracts
was quite strong. %
The Tax bin was resumed, but there was no
action. Adjourned.
The Senate are considering the Southern
Pacific Railroad In session tonight. The Free
montinterest are quite hopeful.
-Assss HOUSE. .
The House, after q long debate on the ap-
portionment bill, referred 1t to the Judiciary
Committee-95 to IS. This action Is regarded
as equivalent to defeat for this session, as the
Judiciary Committee stands number ten on
the committees to be called. and 1t is not like
ly that it win be reached. The vote was Sec
tional, not party-the Southern and Western
members opposing the reference, with some
few exceptions.
The Georgia bill heretofore telegraphed has
been 1eported. Dawes offered substitute In
effect recognizing the fact that Georgia had
ratified the several amendments to the con-
stitution, was entitled to representation. and
was authorized to organize the militia for her
defence. Other amendments were offered.
Farnsworth and Beck accused Butler of bad
faith In partially obeying the majority Of the
committee. It wassgreed that the previous
question should be seconded at 2 O'Clock to-
morrow.
