ETPECTs OF INATrENTION.

The Senate this morning, in that inattention
70 business which sometimes charactcrizes the
wisest bodies, passed an amendment to pend
ing bill in relation to tow boats on the Missis-
sippi river the effect Of which would have
been to have suspended all laws providing that
all steamboats, should carry the usual safe
guards against explosions of steam boilers. The
mistake was soon discovered and the amend

noise-making elements on the stage
legitimately belonging to the Jubilee
were combined to give Il powerful
effect to the Handel chorus, " See, the
Conquering Hero Comes" The grand
old piece was magnificently rendered,
but only received slight applause and
no demand for an encore. The less
conquering hero the better seemed
the prevailing impression of that au-
dience. rssG @4s4 Slss
The third piece on the programme
was an original song written for the
occasion by Nine. Rudersdroff, who
also composed its music and sang it.
It's title was, "Homage to Columbia"
The music of the song was good, dra-
matte, and when supported 10y the
English Grenadier Guards, under Dan
Godfrey's leadership, sounded SPLEEN
didly; but Nine. Rudersdrotf did not
sing it well. To reach the huge au-
dience she exerted herself beyond her
powers, constantly sang falsely and
with decidedly unpleasing tone.
Notwithstanding these defects, how
ever, the auditors and chorus were so
well pleased with the melody that an
encore was demanded and given.-

A, Cool Greeting for Grant at the
Boston Jubilee,

Into the presence of this great au-
dience, mp the center aisle marched
General Grant and his crowd. People
stood up to see him, climbed upon the
seats, craned their necks and stared.
That was all. A violent effort to get
up an enthusiastic scene was made by
some sleek gentlemen in tall black
hats who where posted near the Gen.
ter door ut which he entered. They
swung their hats, jumped and yelled
= to start 4 thunder of applause, but
the Thunder didn't come. The effort
died out within forty feet of the door,
without awakening the faintest re-
Spouse from the multitude, and in as
thorough silence as it is possible for SO
enormous and uncomfortable % null
titutle to maintain, Grant and his
crowd marched forward to their seats.
The number present is variously es-
timated from sixty to eighty thou
sand, including chorus. Yet all his
applause came from the parties men
: toned. He should be thankful that
he got so much without having the

the response. "Well you come back
here the day Horace Greeley comes
to the Jubilee, and see if they are"
1t is simple truth to state that such
was the sentiment echoed in all parts
of the building.
When. che Presidential party were
seated i'm u reserved place in the CEN
ter of the house, they were found to

A Boston correspondent of the Til
bune asserts of Henry Wilson that
"he has done more than any other
man to lower the standard of political
morality i'll Massachusetts,, and reduce
to system the manipulation of eau
cuses. SO that few designing men
could control the popular will" His
intense and mercenary Knownotling-
ism is also urged against him as de-
cidedly vulnerable point, at which he
will be successfully assailed to an ex-
tent which he would tremble to APP
prehend.
