WHAT a magnificent Ku-Klux out
rage the murder of Mr.. TYNDALE, late
Secretary OF State in Illinois, would
have been, if it had occurred south OF
the Ohio river! A story Of dastardly
assassination as well attested and as
certainly true as this would be hailed
with delight by the Radical press, if its
locality were fixed in any Of the late re-
bellious States. The army Of the Uni
ted States would be set in motion,
county laid waste, and dozen or more
innocent victims of court, organized
to convict" would attest by their death
the promptitude and energy OF the
President in enforcing the laws.
That crimes are committed in the
Southern States we do not pretend to
deny; but we do deny that they are
more frequent than in the North or
demand Federal interference for their re
preston. The administration OF justice
may be as safely lett to State law and
State officers in Mississippi or Kentucky
as in Illinois, and we can see no more ne.
cessity for quartering troops in Florida
because a prominent gentleman was re-
Gently murdered there, than there is for
sending a detachment Of soldiers to
Springfield to endeayor to ferret out the
assassin OF Mr.. TYNDALE. Ia fact,
the circumstances Of the murder Of j..
q. DICKINSON, Of Maine, in Florida, a
lew weeks ago. N those of the recent
tragedy in Springfield were remarkably
similar. But the former was paraded
before Congress and throughout the
Northern States as Ku Klux outrage
while to the latter no political signili
canoe will be attached. 1t is this man,
ifest unfairness, this disposition to deal
unequally with the several States, that
gives to Federal legislation much of its
oppressive character, and decpens the
discomfort Of the people ~ - ~

THE passage of a bill in the OHIO
Senate making provision for the pay
ment OF "the MORGAN raid claims re-
ouires a two-thirds vote and only a
majority can be obtained. The raiders
therefore vote against and prevent the
passage OF the general appropriation
bill, unless it provides for the payment
of their claims, and are trying to com
pei the Senate to pass the raid bill or stop
the machine. The Legislature has re
solved to adjourn to-day; but it is said
that Governor HAYES will order an in

make the necessary appropriations.

GRAND CONCERT AT ST. STEPHENS
CHURCH.

This magnificent temple was crowded last night.
on the occasion OF truly entertaining and artistic
concert given by the following artists:-Mlss Jenny
Busk, soprano; Miss Clara Perl, contralto Miss
Alma Krause, soprano; Signor Lefranc, tenor; Sig
nor Coletu, bass with an orchestra under the
direction OF Mr.. II. B. Danforth. The programme
consisted Of selections from Verdi Flotow, Rossni,
Mercadante, Meyerbeer, Rode, Auber, Halevy,
Braga Donizetti, Herold ana Marschner.
The only defect In the concert was the orchestra,
which was OF the usual execrable pattern. Miss
Jenny Busk had fine opportunity to display the
wonderful agility in execution for which her voice
is so well known in the difficult and trying vara-
tions by Rode Her voice Is Of that light, peary.
bird like quality that has made some OF our
American prime donne the first favorites in
Europe, and its cultivation is OF the high
est order. She sings with the most perfect
ease ninging or fortti,1, roulades, &C., without
compass, extending almost to the rarely accessible
g with which Carl0tta Patti sometimes astOnlshes
her hearers. Miss Busk has been favorlte with the
public everywhere she mas appeared and we are glad
the future. In the "Quls est HONOR OF Rossini
the rich, full, sympathetic contralto voice
Of Clara Perl harmonized beautifully with Miss
Busk's birdlike tones, and in Braga's angels
Serenade' Miss Perl showed the skill and feeling OF
Q true artist. Miss Krause also deserves much
praise for her satisfactory rendering OF airs from
exception Of slight hoarseness, was in
superb voice, and his glorious tones rang
through the church like those OF trumpet.
He sang an aria from LA Juive,n LA mia letit-
zian and the celebrated duet from "Poluto, with
Miss Krause. COletIl also sang with all his old fire
the best OF his repertoire "lnfelice.n In fine the
concert was genuine success. # we except the
that had dsagreeable habit OF playing
out OF tune.
