The grand matinee concert. at Odd Eel
lows Hall yesterday was the closing con
cert of Ole Bull in this city this season. Il
proved to be, what all might have antfci
pated, a rare musical entertainment. II
was grand in all things save numbers that
constitute an auditory commensurate with
the genius of Ole Bull as musician The
audience, though select and refined, was en-
tirely too small for the occasion.
Odd Fellows Hall should have been
thronged yesterday with the devotees of
music and genius. People are not per-
mitted to see and hear every day a Paginini
OF an Ole Bull; and when they have an op-
portunity to do so, they should embrace IT
The programme for the matinee embraced
very choice selection of vocal and instru-
mental music, all of which was given in the
most exquisite style by Ole Bull, Miss
Grazella Ridgeway, Signor Ferranti and
Mr. Joseph Hart Denck. In answer to an
encore that demanded recognition, Ole Bull
appeared and performed the popular air at

port as TO their disposition An acb to

referred to the Committee on Retrenchment

mends the passage Of this billy A bill rela-

gorably the bill foF the relief Of taxpayers.
On motions Of Senator Hunsaker the act
for the relief of J. N. Shawhan was taken
up under q suspension OF the rules and
finally passed. Senator Burch asked for

Senator Harris addressed the Senate in

has been equally unprecedented. Without
any Of the Official returns before them:
without any of the official data on which
alone their action could have been right
fully based, they have presumed to pro-
claim the results of the election. The
declaration by them of the votes cast
IN the different parishes is as purely
fanciful as if no election whatever
bad been held. They have arbitrarily re-
duced and increased the vote on one side or
the other in different parishes to suit their
purposes. In se~eral parishes, while re-
turning or ever adding to the votes for
their candidates, they have simply annihi-
lated, or stricken out entirely, the votes
cast for their opponents. Ia other parishes
they have, exactly reversed the returns,
giving to their candidates a majority which
had really been returned for their op-
ponents. They have not pretended to fur
nlsh the public with any statement of the
basis on which they proceeded, or the theory
on which they acted. S5Their whole conduct
is without any kind of reasonable explana-
ton. We submit to the people of the United
States that such proceedings reach point
at which the whole theory of popular gov
ernment IS reversed and 0verthrown. The
means by which such results have been
reached are enough to startle the public
mind, ,gbut the results themselves are not
less appalling.

which there is streak of good sense
We have seen in a recent number of a

the new line of steamers recently establish

The two steamers already built the Mime
sofa and Louisiana, are spoken of as among
the finest ships in the world. The former
Of these h3d left that port for this the dav
before the issue OF the paper we refer to and
consequently may soon be expected at our
wharf. The convenience thus afforded for
the direct importation Of fine Irish fabrics
and manufactures will be of great impor-
tance to our commercial interests and will
no doubt be profted by to the utmost
capacity of the line.
The immense quantities of corn and cot :
ton and other exports constantly calling an
influx of shipping to this port afford an op-
portunity for cheap importations almost
unknown IN the history of any other empo-
RUM. and New Orleans ought to know how
to profit by the circumstance. New York
can not import nearly so cheaply as this
city, and the problem always presents
itself as an uDanswerable one, why goods
can not be sold cheaper here than there.
