SAENGERFESTIVE.

ST. LOUIS, June IA large number of
the delegates of the differe Mt societies in at
tendance on the Saengerfest assembled at
the hall this morning and transacted some
business. Forty three societies were rep
resented. A motion to hold National
Saengerfestt every fifth year instead of every
Sc cond year was tabled. A motion to al
low each of the societies one delegate for
every twelve members instead OF two dele
gates for each society was adopted. CleVe-
land, O., was selected as the place for hold
ing the next Saenger'est.
Last Night.
Another tremendous audience greeted
the singers at Saeugerfest Hall tonight, al
though it was not so large as last night.
The programme was pleasantly varied by
the substitution Of separate society singing
for full chorus, and gave great satisfaction,
which was evinced by the heartiest ap-
plause.
The pieces sung by the separate societies
were: The Call, by Zellner, Cleveland
Mennerchor; Awake, by Necken, Crelia
Union of Cincinnati; o How Lovely is the
Spring, by Abt, BelleVille (Ill) Sanger
bund; Opening of Spring, by Abt, COlum-
bus (O.) MannerchOr; Adieu, by Shubert,
Louisville Leiderkranz. Mrs. Dexter gave
Ariette and VaIse, by Venzans, and Let the
Bright Seraphim, from the oratorio of
Sampson, by Haydn. Each piece was
encOred and rapturously applauded.
After the concert a torch light festival
was given at Schneider's garden, at which
there was a great crowd Of singers and cit
izens.I The festivities were kept up until a
very late hour. Tomorrow there will be
a grand picnic at the fair grounds which
will end the weeks entertainment.

THE excuse for substituting Wilson, ne
Colbaith, for Colfax on the Grant ticket
is, that such step became necessity to
counteract the influence of Summers
speech against Grant in the Eastern States.
1t appears that the eight States East of the
Delaware river-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey
cast 1O5 votes for Colfax, while Wilson re-
ceived only 81, giving Colfax majority of
43. 1t thus appears that Colfax was the
stronger man in the very section where
Wilson was relied upon to give the ticket
strength. This shows pretty conclusi7ely
that Colfax was sacrificed because he was
not satisfactory to Grant.

THE Hon. W. D. Kelley, of Pennsylva-

action of his party in the House of Repre-
sentatives in its disgraceful efforts to force
upon the country the "force bill" by it pas

session Of Congress. He said:

HOW GENERAL AMNESTY WAS DE
FEATED.

The Washington Patriot explains how
general amnesty was defeated, as follows:
"The second session of the FOrty-second
Congress has come to a close, but without
the passage of a bill for general amnesty.
This great measure for the pacifcation of
the country was ChOked off in the last
hours Of the session by Speaker Blaine.
We understand that during the last three
days Of the session he persistently refused
to recognize Mr.. Acker, of Pennsylvania,
who had prepared bill for the removal of
political disabilities, and to grant a general
amnesty to all political offenders in con-
nectiOn with the late war, and which be de-
sired to bring before the House. The
Speaker knew this, and hence his arbitrary
course in undertaking to prevent the bill
from being brought before the House for
action. a more bigh-handed exercise of
One-man power has probably never occur
red IN the annals of legislation.
"Early in the session a bill Of a similar
nature came within a few votes of the
necessary twO-thirds in the House, and the
Speaker thensleft the chair, and it is stated,
used his Personal influence with some of
the Radical members, to vote against it, and
IL ldLou ny q lew NOUeS' OOulu the Dlil
have come before the House the probabil-
ties are that il would have secured the
necessary twO-thirds vote and thus have
been passed By the House. But to Speaker
Blaine belongs the credit of defeating this
great measure in the late session of Con-
gress by arbitrary, one-man power. Let
the country know it."
The country shoG.d also know that
Speaker Blaine is a strong Grant partisan.
1t is thus that while Grant processes to be
in favor of general amnesty, bis friends
in Congress have defeated this measure.
Would they have thus acted if they had
supposed they would thereby have incurred
the displeasure of Grant?
