PRCSTITUTTON-THE FIRST VETO.
ALBANY, Jan. 23.-The Committee on Privi-
legcs and Elections met this evening and heard the evil
dencc OF the inspectors poll clerks of the dsfran
chsed district the Sixteenth Ward regarding the re-
srecive votes Of Messrs. TwOmbly and Carey for AS
sembymen. II viii be remembered that the voters Of
this district dsfranchsed because Mr.. Terhune Re
publican Supervisor of Election under the United
states law, rendered slight assistance in count
ing the votes. The testimony tonight proved con-
clusively that Mr.. Twomby's majority in the
district 90. The other disfranehised district
is the XXth Of the Ninth Ward in which Mr.. Twombly
received 81 majority The pretext here is that Of
inspectors Republican, went out for o few moments
between the counting of the votes for Congressman and
Assemblymen In neither is there any doubt what
to the will Of the voters Of the respective districts
The action ofthe Board OF County Canvasscr in reject
ing the districts and returning MI Carey, Is without
parallel for efrontery Nevertheless, the Assembly
Committee who were appointed expressly to whtewash
this affair will undoubtedly report in favor Of Carey
Whether the Democratic majority in the Assembly viii
prove to equally interruptions is somewhat
doubtful. The Committee hold another meeting tomor
afternoon.

Some of the small politicians of ONO have
been greatly exercised because Gov Hayes has not seen
fit 10 call special election for Congressman to Ill the
vacancy caused the resignation of the Hon Robert C.
SchencB recently appointed Minister to England In
discussing the matter The Toledo Blade very senSiby
remarks:

Schenck. GOV. Hayes has simply used the discretion
which the law gives him, with good common sense. nc
very properly concludes that no practical or SC0d result

The election IN the district would cost large amount
OF money and put mileage both ways, and per

elamorous audiences and stirring UP in such severely
critical communities Boston perfect fever Of musical
enthusiasm His triumph in Of these distant cen
er of culture has been truly wonderful He has given
by concerts OF orchestral music and the interest Of
tbc public has seemed ineXhauSble In Boston, II we
remember Alright he gave eight symphony concerts in
single week and the Music Hall-he largest han in the
ctv-was constantly thronged Every part of the United
states has been quick TO realize what New-York
unite understood-that Theodore Thomas commands an
orchestra Of which any city in the world might be proud.
and that he is rendering more brilliant service to the
cause Of true art than any other musician or asy musical
organization this continent That such man should
have been driven into the provinces for recognition
which the metropolis withheld, is shameful and humii
stjDg Circumstance Still beginning TO open our
eyes and fortunately before il is too late. 1t is the pub
lie custom not 10 honor true artist until he is dead.
MI Thomas luckily is not dead; he is only absent He
