sundax.school Concert.

The Sunday-school concert on Jefferson
street to aid in paying for an organ for the
North Nashville Baptist Mission, the other
evening, was very successful, every seat
being filed with an appreciative aud de-
lighted listener. The programme was rich
in sacred and miscellaneous pieces, and I'M
der the direction of Mr.. and Mrs. Ashford,
was carried out with more than usual ener-
gy and skill. The children sung in good
time, and gave evidence of the superior
training of their Superintendent, Mr.. Ash
ford. The entertainment was enlivened by
the singing, also, of Prof. Hindle and his
wife. Mrs. Hindle's sweet voice was parti-
cularly admired. The quartette "Greeting
Glee,' sung by Messrs. Ashford and Hindle
and Mrs. Ashford-all Of the same family
was enthusiastically received by the large
audience present. The same may be said
of "The Nice Young Man," by Prof.
Hindle. The Holy Friar was finely execut-
ed by Mr.. Ashford, and only needed the
gown and cowl to make the picture OF a
high fed. comfortable, rubicund, jolly monk
complete and irresistible. The concert in
conclusion, was well planned and well car
ried out, making one of the most pleasant
evening entertainments that we have ever
attended. We hope thu it may not be
long before the accomplished musicians who
gave it, will give us another OF the same
kind

HOUSE.
Southern Claims.

The House proceeded to act on private
bills reported from the Committee on
Claims, the day being specially assigned
that business.
Among bills reported by the Committee on
Claims, and passed by the House, was one
making appropriations for judgment claims
allowed by Southern Claims Commissions.
The bill contains appropriations for 308
persons, ranging from $l2 up to S65,O00.
Most of the amounts are for sums under one
thousand dollars, and the aggregate is
S349,394.
Mr.. Blair, of Michigan, Chairman of
the Committee, stated in reply to Mr..
Garfield and others, that the awards were
made solely for stores and supplies taken by
the army. No allowance was mace for
loss, or destruction or occupation of prop
erty, or incidental or consequent al damages.
Another bill which gave rise to a consid-
cradle discussion as being a test in case
of voting large drains on the Treasury,
was the Senate bill to pay $4,000 dollars to
DIR. J. Milton Best, Of Paducah, Ky. as
compensation for the destruction of his
dwelling house, and contents by the United
States Troops under order Ofthe command
ing General. The bill passed.

and Bardstown Turnpike Company passed.
Consular and Diplomatic.
Mr.. Swami made a report from the Con-
ference Committee on the Consular and
Diplomatic Appropriation bill. The only
important point Of difference between the
two Houses was as to the Central Ameri-
can mission, and that was compromised by
an arrangement that there shall be but one
Minister to the Central American Republics
after June, 1873. The report was agreed
to.
The Adj0urnment Question.
A long discussion occurred on the mes
sage from the Senate asking the return of
the resolution for final adjournment on the
29th of May. Without action on the
message, the House took up the regular
order of business from the Committee on
Claims.
Somewhat Novel.
A bill to pay Conner, representative from
Texas, two thousand dollars for expenses
for defending his right to his seat in the
forty first Congress, gave rise to long dis
cussion, it being claimed aud denied that
this was an unusual proposition and would
be establishing dangerous precedent. The
bill passed; yeas II, nays 81.
A committee was ordered on the steam
boat bill and Messrs. Negley, CoDger and
HambletOn were appointed. The House
then at A:40 P. n. adjourned.

Baggage Smashing.
