CINCINNATI, O., May 9.-The great muaica]

rains Of the past two days, and the drenching
storms Of to-day, have rendered it impossible to
give the open air musical fete, and so, in place
OF it, concert will be given in the Exposition

evening: The programme for the concert has
been e1tempor1zed from the weeks music, so
that no novelty Will attach to- it. The chorus has
also dwindled down, so that only light music
can be performed. Financially, the festival
has been 80 far q success that no

The Pardon of brown.

SO far IL is impossible TO obtain any Of
ficial statement OF the reasons and infiu-
,nces which led President GRAST to pardon
BRows, the repeater. The pardon was an
offence against morality and deceucy. The
pretence has been set up that ii was asked
for by men of respectabiity in Peunsyl-
vania, and that President GRANT was de-
ceivcd about the nature OF the crime which
BRowN had committed. But whenever
application has been made to the Attorney
General for copies OF any papers filed in
BRowN's favor, the answer has been fiat
refusal.
Finally the House of Representatives
adopted n resolution directing the Attor-
ney-Genernl TO furnish the desired infor-
nation; and as this call was not complied
with before the adjournment. the Hon.
SAMUEL J. RANDALL. u member OF the
House, waited upon Mr.. WILLIAMS ycster-
day and asked TO see the documents. He
was told in reply that he could not see
them; that the President was not rrSponsi-
ble To Congress for the exercise Of the
pardonng power; and that no member
had any OIL, ial right 10 inquire into such
n subject
Mr.. RANDALL proposes next to address
himself To Gen. GRANT, especially as tho
latter has said that he IL anxious that the
petition for pardon and the NAMES OF those
who signed il should be made public for
his own vindicatiOn. He evidently has
some apprehension of the truth that
whatever his constitutional rights may he
as regards Congress, hcis responsible to the
people for the WY he uses any of the
powers intrusted 10 hun. No matter how
the Attornoy-Gcncial may state the legal
view of the case, the President viii do wcll
to furnish the papers to the public without
further DELAY.

procure legislation which will do for ships
and the sailors what the Factory acts, the
Workshop acts and the Mines Regulation
acts have done for artisans and miners.
Under the existing laws there is nothing
to prevent owners from sending rotten
and unsafe vessels to sea. A notoriously
unseaworthy ship may go to the bottom
In smooth sea carrying all her crew down
with her, and there is no provision for any
inquiry into the particulars of the case,
no provision for punishing the avaricious
owners. But a sailor who is lnvcigled into
shipping for voyage on such n vessel, If
he declines TO fulil his agreement after
discovering the unsafe character of the

rifce himself as IA voluntary offering to

II was shown In the Erie investigation
the other day that some time in the year
1872 WILLIAM NJ. TWEED drew from the
Erie Railway Company some $l3l, eco for
what was called legal expenses incurred
at Albany prior to March "A, 1871, these
expenses being, as there is every reason To
believe, mainly bribe money paid to mem
berst of the Legislature.
IL il remarkable that this committee
which has been exploring the affairs OF
the Erie Company, having stumbled upon
the testimony respecting TWEED, have not
summoned him before them, and appa-
rently have no intent on of doing so. All
men can see, not only from this proceed
ing but from that of the other commit
tee appointed especially to investigate
TwEED's transactions, that tho Republican
majority in this Legislature dare not take
HIM in hand. He has told them that eff
he was pushed, some one would get hurt;"
and upon this menace Legislature elected
professcdly in tho interest Of reform has
not the courage to deal with this notorious
robber OF the public money and corrlpter
of legislation.

terposed in every form for that purpose,
and when MI. ROOSEVELT first attempted
10 get the floor and bring out the facts of

who had been lying in wait, sprang to his

Mr.. STARkwEArHER strives to break the
force of the proof against him by claiming
to have had the cooperation OF Ell

That is true, and he might have added that
this same Mr.. ELDREDGE occupies the re-
lation to his committee and to this whole

Now they are 81 Iging chorus of homage
TO STARKwEATHER. lie, too, is of the
saintly stuff, and u victim Of persecution.
IL he was wise he would ask to be saved
from such friends whose praise pIovokes
suspicion and confirms distrust. like his
colleague, Mr.. KELLOGG, thee is little
doubt that STARKwEATIIER has grown rich.
That is the rule i'll Congress now. AL
though he is too shrewd to he Ostentatious,
wealth will assert ITS authority, and Mr..
