ton is good-and calculated to create and foster a
taste for music and that of a high order. AS a
Musical Festival it will be something like Barnum's
Museums big humbug-though the instrumental
part will be good undoubtedly, for that will consist
of selections well known and executed by those whose
lives are given to music and who could not very well
make mistakes. Your correspondent felt the music
within him, when the choruses began to practice last
March. So he marched boldly to headquarters and
invested one dollar in a ticket and book. and since
then has been a continual attendant at the Friday
evening rehearsals at Bumstead Hall, which you very
likely know is simply a basement of Music Hall.
There are four of these choruses in Boston, aside
from the almost numberless regular societies. Each
of them contains eight hundred members, and when
the music was learned succeeded in making consider
able noise. The leaders have been Mr.. Carl Zerrahn,
probably the best in the United States, Mr.. Whitney,
not far behind the former, Mr.. Southland, and Z. ).
Gilmore himself, who makes one think OF one OF
sP1nch's - recent caric1tures on Brother Jonathan
riding with his claims for indirect damages TO
Geneva, on his horse "Bunkum." Gilmore is
worthy of admiration, for he must be a man Of IN
limited brass, or self assurance to undertake such q
stupendous affair az this jubilee. Perhaps he is a
genius-at any rate that is what he has been called,
out of Boston. When the choruses first began 10
sing the music some sad work was made, and poor
Zerrahn was sadly tried at times, but had a never
failing fund OF humor to expend on our poor singing.
It is a decidedly interesting sight to look around upon
the chorus-who ELL to its utmost capacity the some
what limited room. The seats are in a semicircle,
bass and tenor at either end-facing each other, alto
next the bass, and sopranos between them and the
tenOrs. Most Of the singers are young, but here
and there is a gray head. They are evidently from
all classes of society. but particularly from the work.
ing portion of the community, who evidently fully
enjoy the opportunity to cultivate music under a
good leader, aside from the delight ~ of going home

no small consideration. But of course your CORES
pendent did nothing of the kind, having the dignity

THE truth is beginning to come out.
Aletter from Washington gives some
curious facts, the Interpretation Of which
seems obvious enough. Until recently
the appropriation for United States
Courts have been about five hundred
thousand dollars a year. For the year
ending June 80, 1872, however, Presi-
dent Grant asked and obtained an APP
preparation of no less than two millions,
and by a deficiency bin in May last he
got an allowance of an additional mil
lion, which has all been expended as
we learn from the acting First Control
Ter Of the Treasury, who gives notice to
our court officers that the money is all
gone, and their unsettled accounts can
not be paid. Where it has gone we can
easily guess. Marshal Carlow took
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to North Carolina, instead Of the ten
thousand dollars which has usually suf-
feed for that State, and with that sum
be kept in pay during the cavass a per-
feet army Of deputy marshals and depu-
ty commissioners, who had nothing
whatever to do except to make Grant
voters. That's the way the money goes.

In THE EAST.
Fleming UnpOpUlar-Gains for the
Democratic Candidate.


From the Union and Americana
KNoXvILLE, Tenn, October 1.-You
| need place no confidence in the reports
! Of the Press and Herald in regard to the
I strength Of johnson OF Cheatham in
East Tennessee. Mr.. Fleming has lost
much Of his popularity by %espOusing the
cause Of johnson, and in aiding to dis
organize the Democratic party. BY his
reports as TO the strength of the two
candidates, he hopes to effect something
for the disOlganizers in Middle and West
Tennessee. He admits that Cheatham
is streng in Sullivan, Hawkins and
Hamblin counties, but Omits to state
that Monroe, Knox, Mejgs, Rhea, Nc
MINI, Polk and Hamilton viii give him
maiOrities Of the Democrats. Granger
viii do 50, and he will get a mOiety Of
the Democrats in all the rest of the
counties on this side Of the mountains.
The true Democracy Of East Tennessee
are for him, because he il the nominee
Of our State Convention. Mr.. johnson
is running to crafty personal feelings.
Il would have been well for his fame had
he retired 10 the quiet pursuits of domes-
tic life, instead Of trying 10 foist himself
upon an unwilling public as their repre-
sentative in Congress.
The meeting here on Saturday resulted.
in strengthening General Cheatham's
vote in this county, Notwithstanding the
statements Of the Press and Herald to
contrary. We feel confident that the
General will be triumphantly elected in
despite of the efforts Of the disOrganizers.
Fleming tries to ~disparage Cheatham
by saying that be is no orator, etc
The people know that he is a man Of
broad, capacious intellect, with great
administrative talent, and capable Of
doing good work in reformingt be abuses
which now prevail at Washington. The
people remember, that neither Wash
jefferson, Jackson, Macon or
Benjamin Franklin were orators, but
they were all useful members Of Con-
gress. Then let rs unite and sustain
our nominee, and show our political OPP
ponents that we are not going 70 throw
victory in their way by unwiseiy divid-
ing u force.
The truth is just as / have stated.
Mark my prediction: Chatham will
beat johnson in East Tennessee.

TIE adhesion of Mr.. Hassaurek, OF
Cincinnati, to the Liberal cause, inspires
the GRANTEES with apprehensions which
they are wholly unable to conceal, The
name of Mr.. Hassaurek is a tower Of
strength among the Germans of the
West, and the Cincinnati VoLksB1dtt, of
which be is the editor, carries with il
probably more influence even than Sen
ator Schurz's st. Louis journal. Aswas
anticipated, all the Ohio Germans seem
TO be following Mr.. Hassaurek's exam
pie, and the unanimity with which they
are declaring for Greeley and Brown is
attracting the anxious attention Of the
Radicals. They have all along been
claiming Ohio as sure for Grant, but now
openly express fears that this detection
will throw the vote of the State for the
Liberal candidates.

be less than fifteen thousand votes, and
if the gains continue at the present rate,
his majority over Johnson will be nearer

would not tolerate such political anon

prove disastrous through their vote.

down WITH INDEPENDENT.
We publish on our first page a letter
from an occasional correspondent who,
writing from PUrdy on the second in
slant, in regard TO the contest between
General Atkins and Colonel Travis,
saws the people Of the Seventh district
have turned their backs upon the latter,
who, a. an independent, they very
properly regard a disorgsnizer and ally
Of the Radicals. They are becoming
thoroughly aroused, just as they are in
all the other Congressional districts, and
are convinced it is their duty to defeat
INDEPENDENCE if they would he
free OF the clutches Of the Radical
party. We must maintain the
organization Of the Democratic party.
Without it we are all at sea, and he who
is sharpest at dirty work and political
trickery becomes the most successful
candidate. Under such circumstance #
would no longer be principles and abil-
ity, but craft, cunning and self-aggrau-
dizement at the expense Of communi-
ties. We do not say that all who are
independents now are Of this character,
but that INDEPENDENCE in any, if toler-
ated ~ the people, would eventually
lead to the ascendancy Of political bum
mers and disappointed ofice-seekers.
Andrew johnson has encouraged the
new crop Of independents who are
popping up everywhere, and for all
sorts Of positions and places, and we
hope the people of the whole State,
as those Of the Seventh district have
promised, will hold him to a strict ac-
cOuntabiuty by retiring him forever TO
private life. We are glad to know that
