IT appears to be pretty generally un-
dcrstood that an extensive raid upon
the public Treasury has been organized
in the North, and that the lobbyists
will appear in Washington in full force
as soon as Congress assemblies. The
Nc1C York Tribune states that plans
for the appropriation of S70O,OOO,OOO
to improper purposes are already ma
tured, and everyone of them can com
mand the support of considerable
body in the National Legislature. "
The Tribune has not much confidence
in the integrity of Congress, for it
adds: we may as well open our eyes
to the possibility that by a shrewd sys-
TEN of log-rolling almost any of these
Jobs may be pushed through"

THE Cincinnati Commercial does not
think the members Of the incoming
Congress arefar advancedin science
or tradc-or whatever else it may be
called-of finance. 1t says: 1--WE wish
that, before the opening Of the next
session Of Congress, every member
could be put into a training school for
the purpose Of receiving instruction in
the elementary principles of finance.
Not one in twenty of them could at
this time stand an examinationonthese
elementary principles, and probablynot
ten in the whole body, Senate and
House, could show anything like pro-
ficiency in their financial studies"

Ii is asserted that the papers on the
Virginius would not constitute a valid
defense as to its National character. 1t
is manifestly true, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that the murder Of all the
men on board of her puts out of the
way some witnesses who might have
shed some light upon the nature of her
mission.

GERRITT SMITHS philanthropy has
taken a new turn. He has written a
letter in which he takes strong ground
against granting State or Government
aid to public schools. He urges that
the school be left, Ike the church, in

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says: The
majority for Taylor, the Democratic
and Farmer Grange candidate for Gov
cTnor Of Wisconsin, is more than 15,-
600. This is a splendid result for a
State which gave over $4,000 majority
last year for President Is there any
body who is foolish enough to suppose
that this does not mean a revolution,
and was alone accomplished by stay-at-
home Republicans?

The always interesting service OF or

TOLEDO, O., Oct. II, 1873,
Editor Rutland Herald Our city
has been the scene of more than Ordin-
airy excitement and commotion during
the week. The cause is apparent. Tues
day was our annual election day, We'd
nesday and Thursday the reunion of the
Grand Army of the Tennessee. Of the
election, little can now be said; the re-
turns are not as yet fully in. The indi-
cations warrant the assertion that the
State is Democratic. Our county, Lucas,
is strongly Republican The legislature
is conceded to the Democrats, thus as
surfing Democratic U. 8. Senator. Allen,
Democratic candidate for governor, is
probably elected by a small majority.
The result is surprising to all. The rea-
son of defeat is attributed to the fact
that a smaller vote was polled than in
former years.
The reunion of the Grand Army of
Tennessee was a magnificent AFFAIR.
This society has been formed for seven
years, and there seems to be no deminu-
alton of enthusiasm, but rather grad
ually increasing interest is manifested.
The number in attendance this year
was unusually large. At the meeting
ing Wednesday evening Gen. Sherman
presided. Upon the front seats on the
stage we noticed Generals Giant, Sher-
iden, Custar, Pope, VanVlett, Babcock,
Myer Belknap, Gov. Noyes, Gov. Bag
ley of Michigan, etc.
Gen. John A. Logan, United States
senator from Illinois, delivered the an
nual Grafton
Remarks were made by nearly all the
distinguished men in attendance. ..
The large opera house was filed to
its utmost capacity. The entrance of
the President was greeted by deafening
cheers. ...,.s .s........-.. s..,.- ..s.,i.s...

A GRAND sUcCEss=-oLoslNG EXERCISES
... REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, ETo. j.,
The convention closed Friday evening,
Oct. 18th, by grand concert, 1t was
attended by large and appreciative au-
dience, and was success. The pro-
gramme was rich and varied, ana the
rendering of church music, and the four
part songs, was excellent, receiving
hearty applause for the fine effects
''The Sea" "The Fairy" and Gallant
Ship" from the ''Morning Star, were
particularly worthy of mention The
Italian trio (Te Sol quest AnimaD sung
by Miss Mason, Mr.. Foster, and Mr..
Sawyer, was loudly eneored, as was also
Mr. Fosters song, "Over the Billows
Affair."" which was sung witt. great power
and expression. ..'., s..
Prof. Mietzke was called and respond
ed with a piano solo, which was finely
executed and warmly applauded.
Miss Hattie L. Mason of Keene; N.
H., and a pupil Of Mr. Fosters, sang
"Longing,7 a song of Willard, IN SPLEEN
did voice, and her rendering was one. of
the finest efforts of the evening. Miss
Nellie Weston was heartily applauded..
Mr.. Hale, of North-Springfeld, and Mrs.
Dr. Putnam, of Ludlow, sang duet en-
titled "'Nlr and Mrs. Williams, 2 with
striking yet natural expression: and eff
feet, as. attested by the very significant
applause Of the audience. Mile Brousil
. was on the programme for three pieces.
Her first was the. '1lyyinfh Concerto, en-
poredi her second; .'t'The Last Rose of
Summer, was responds. to an encore
by the Carnival OF Venice which was
also -encored.; her last was -"The Bird on
the Tree, which received the same
treatment from the audience, as. the 9th
ers. She plays. the Yielin with marvel
lous skill ard can have but few equals.
Her reputation was well sustained.
AS whole, the concert is pronounced
by some of our musical judges to be the
best which has ever been held in Lud-
low. Great praise should be awarded to
Prof Foster for his untiring zeal and
efficiency in contributing to the musical
culture of the class, and also to ensure
success to the enterprise. His elocution-
airy instruction must be of great value to
public speakers as well as singers, and
associations will do well to employ lis
services in conventions. We hope.to
see. linn again ia Ludlow on. afuture
day. 2. ,;..st "

Miss Hattie nj. .Smith of Ludlow, as she

Miss Hattie nj. Smith of Ludlow, as she
was not present to aid the convention
by her talent. l will simply say that
her absence is attributable to no want of
interest on her part, but being in Boston
under the tutorship of musical instruc-
tors, it was hardly thought advisable for
her to leave. She is under the instru-
mental instruction of Mr. Frederic Bos-
ovitz, and vocal culture of Mrs.J. Fl.
Lorg.
The committee on nominations report
ed through Mr.. Pratt of Ludlow, for the
officers of the ensuing year: President,
E. w. Smith, Ludlow; list Vice-Presi-
dent, A B. Hall, North Springfield; I'd

The report was adopted.
The committee on resolutions reported
through Mr.. Savage of Mt. Holly, chair
man, the following resolutions:
Whereas. The Black River Musical
Association has enjoyed its annual feast
of song, therefore,
ReSOJ0ed, That the convention consid-
ers its success mainly due to it's conduct
or, Prof. Geo. W. Foster, and CRATE
fully appreciate his efficient labors in
its behalf, regretting that larger num-
Der of the friends of music have not been
present to profit his by instruction.
Res0JUe8, That we recognize the su-
perior ability of the pianist, Prof. Geo.
A. Meitzke, and consider him an artist
of whom the musical public of Vermont
may Justly be proud.
Res0IDed, That the thanks of the con-
ventiOn are hereby rendered to Mr.. HOl
den for the use of his piano; to Mr..
Sherman for the use of his Estey organ;
to DR.. Blood for the organ accompani-
ment; to the sOloists who have added so
largely to the interest and profit of the
occasion, and to the Central Vermont
K. r. Co for its courtesy of half fare.
ReSOJUed, That the convention feels
greatly indebted to MI Bertha Brousil
IOI hCI hIhALCoo III idNOIIIiS VIC hhdi
concert with her genius and skill, as
evinced in the delightful melodies which
vibrate from her violin; also to Mr., J.
Q. Hoyt, her accompanyist.
ResOIUed, That the board of directors
are entitled to a certain amount of credit
for the work done; but the success of
any convention cannot be assured with
out persistent efforts by the officers in
charge
