"spheres." Mr.. Lincoln was a free
thinker, and now that the truth has
come out we presume the ortho'
dox 30 driveled over his remains
will hand him over to Hades.
The biography gives a full history OF
Lincolns love affairs; but these are de-
void of any especial interest other than
to prove the hero to have been some
what of triaer. No man is hero to
his own valet nor can he well be to ms
biographist. We confess to an increase
of interest il not positive liking, for the
memory of Lincoln since it has been
stripped of the false glamour thrown
around it by sycophants and bigots.
The Republican press, however is
startled into spasms at what is termed
the "cruel understanding and impu-
dence" of Mr.. Lamon in thus telling the
truth. Notwithstanding the howl raised
over it the biography places Mr. Lincoln
in a more favorable light before the
people of the South than he ever secured
heretofore.

The office Of coroner is to be filled at
the next meeting Of the County Court.
The Office is an important one on ac-
count Of its inquisitorial powers and
secret system Of holding inquests. II Is
nothing more than the grand jury system
"boiled down" to one man power, and
that power should be welded by man
having a thorough knowledge of law, 10
order to protect society from impertinent
and illegal investigations. Not long
since, in the investigation of homicide
case, the wife Of the slayer was COM
PEELED to appear before coroners jury
and give evidence against her husband,
a thing not admissible under the laws Of
Tennessee, but brought about owing to
the ignorance Of the coroner, on ques-
tons of evidence. 1t is oftentimes nee
essary to employ a physician TO make &
post mortem examination, yet a medical
man would make poor coroner because
he would possess no knowledge OF law
and would be at sea during the inyesti-
CATION Our County Court should ap-
point some young attorney as coroner,
one whose studies are all legal and
whose investigations will be thorough
and 10 accordance with the written and
unwritten laws of the land. There are
a score Of young gentlemen in this city
learned in the law-young men of ability
who would make the Office Of coroner
one of importance aud worthy Of respect
on account of its legal investigations
and correct decisions. Let one Of our
rising young lawyers be selected to this
important office.

PUBLIC CONCERTS.

Just now the atmosphere that en-
circles Bunker Hill and the Hub
is filed with music. The great
Jubilee attracts eighty thousand
strangers daily to the Coliseum. The
grand and beneficial effect of music on
humanity is apparent everywhere. 1t
subdues the fercest passions, and for a
time all classes of society breath the
same atmosphere and inhale the charm
ing sounds as they are carried forward on
the undulating air. Every Wednesday
evening our citizens are treated to music
in Court Square-the music OF Schuber'
Abt. Mendelssohn and other composers.
No wonder these concerts attract crowds
of men from the haunts of business. The
ladies turn out in force to listen to har-
monious sounds.
THAT strain again; It hath dying fall;
d. IL came DER my ear like the sweet
south,
Stealing and giving odour-
No being on earth, not even the low
est in the scale of human life, is imper-
yious to the powers of music. We are
certain no one attends the concerts and
goes away without feeling better for
having attended. The love of music is
innate in the human soul, and its echo
can be heard in every heart.

1 In to-day's issue of the LEDGER ap'
pears the card Of Major Richard B.
Somervill announcing him as a candi-
date for Congress, subject 10 the action
Of the Democratic Convention. 1t will
be seen that Major Somervill is alive to
the great issues of the hour, and recog-
nizes the absolute necessity Of joining
hands with the Liberal Republicans ia
order to elect Greeley and Brewn and
defeat Grant and Wilson'S movement
which, in the opinion Of all sensible men
and patriots, will save the country and
rescue it from the hands of the central
lied despotism now so powerful at WASH
ington. Major Someryill has host Of
friends in this city and Congressional
district who, recognizing his ability and
worth, will advocate his claims before
the people and give him earnest support
should he be so fortunate as to secare
the nomination. 1t is needless to sound
Major SomervilPs praises; his record is
most honorable, and he stands in the
front rank of candidates aspiring to the
position. Possessing a high order of
ability, strict integrity, being finished
scholar and q most genial and popular
gentleman, his strength before the people
must of necessity be recognized and
respected by those whose duty it will be
to select the Congressional nominee.
Should he be selected as the standards
bearer, it is well known that he will
carry the standard high above all selfish
or strict party considerations, and be-
come the representative man of the
people Of the district. We are certain
the interest of the people could be placed
in no safer or ADLER hands, and, should
he be the fortunate candidate, predict
his Congressional career will be such as
to reflect credit upon himself and meet
the unanimous approval of his constitu-
ents. Major Somervill is so well known
throughout the district that it is unnec-
essary to do aught else than to publish
the announcement appearing in another
column.

arHr HOOKS OF STEEL. .

The celebrated English and German
bands in attendance at the Boston Jubi-
lee were received with enthusiasm by
the people of the Hui" but the recep-
ton given to the band of the Garde Re-
pubIicaine Of Paris was tremendous
ovation, displaying that sympathy which
Americans feel for the land Of Lafayette,
now sister republic. The mere appa-
rition of the modest uniforms was sutfl-
Gent to evoke a universal responsive
cheer that must have satisfied every
Frenchman that the memory OF Lafay'
cite Is not forgotten in America. The
patriotic strains of the French band
found an echo in every heart, and carried
the hearers in Imagination back to the
time when France and Napoleon we're
talismanic words, signifying nothing but
victory and glory. There is something
magnetic about the French which is not
found in any other nation, and, although
the Britons and Germans met with a
deservedly cordial reception, the enthu-
siasm of the audience found still fuller
expression when the handsome, bronzed
faces of the French band fronted the
Coliseum, and their neutral uniforms
were distinguished filing down the GEN.
trail aisle. Cheer after cheer resounded
through the building, and it was several
minutes before sufficient quiet had been
secured to allow the leader, NJ. Paulus, an
opportunity to begin operations. TO no
country on earth is America more indebt'
ed than to France, who was our strong
ally in the days of the Revolution, and
that the French musicians should be re-
ceiyed with tremendous outburst Of en-
thusiasm is not surprising. France to-
day is young Republic, in the midst OF
the effete monarchies of Europe. She
has not only spurned imbecile Imperial
ism-she has rejected both branches of
Bourbonism, crushed the revolutionary
Communists, and she is moving onward
toward a brilliant destiny, and for all
this she deserves sympathy and honor
from America.

New YoRK, June 27.-Much interest

didates for the presidency increases
daily. The Governor, State Comptroller
and Attorney General have been ap-
pointed Inspectors Of the election Of di.

The Herald's special from Geneva
says the business of the court of arbi-
tration to-day will be the delivery of a
solemn declaration to the arbitrators.
The meeting on Tuesday so far facil-
itated matters that the present session
will doubtless enable the court to give
final decision. Both sides entertain alb.
solute confidence in the impartiality Of
the members of the tribunal. Sherman
remains here few days and then goes
to Berne. He visited General Dufour,
formerly commander-in-chief Of the Swiss
army, yesterday. Lieutenant Fred. D..
Grant is at Zermotto, in the canton Of
Valais, Switzerland. Mr.. Borie arrived
yesterday.
The World publishes dispatch from
Geneva to the effect that Bancroft,
Davis and the English agent leave
Geneva on Friday. To-day is to be the
all important day, when the fate of the
treaty will probably be sealed.
The eight-hour movement, notwith-
standing the severe check it has received
here from organizations of employers
against it, still continues; fresh access
sions to the movement is reported every
day. Upwards of four hundred cabinet
makers joined the strike yesterday.
1t is stated that James McHenry, a
noted English railroad official, and other
gentlemen who arrived from Europe on
Tuesday night, and who control over
$50, 100000 of Erie stock, are framing a
new board of directors, and that, in con-
junction with others in this city, they
have nearly completed plan that will
again revolutionize Erie The new plan

WASHINGTON.

\
WAsHrxoroy, June 27.-The State De-
partment yesterday received a long dis
patch from Bancroft Davis, at Geneva,
stating the exact situation of the claims
of the United States before the tribunal,
and announcing that at the meeting on
Tuesday he had submitted the instruc'
tons received on Monday, insisting upon
the arbitrators taking into consideration
all the claims presented by the United
States. The United States was willing
to accept as rule for the future that
the class of claims known as indirect
should not be regarded as claim against
Great Britain in the future, but this
principle failed of acceptance by Great
Britain; therefore the United States still
adhered to the language Of the case and
insisted upon the arbitrators disposing
of all questions raised. Lord Tenter-
den replied that his instructions com
PEELED him to dispute the statement Of
the American agent. The British Gov
eminent had acted upon the demand Of
the United States for the award Of sum
in gross, and had from the beginning
disputed their claim for money award
on account of indirect losses. II the
United States still insisted upon money
award for indefinite claims the British
Government would interpose the objec-
ton that the tribunal was not empowered
to decide anything but the amount due
by Great Britain to the United States
for violation of the neutrality laws
agreed upon in the sixth article Of the
treaty. He then asked an adjournment
until Thursday.
