The THOMAS CONCEgTs.-NOtwithsta
the disagreeable weather last night, a large and
fashionable audience assembled at Lincoln Hall
to hear the second Thomas concert. The pro-
gramme was pleasing in its variety, and the
artistic execution was fully up to the standard
of this model orchestra. To hear q choice piece
of music played by even a good band and after
wards by this orchestra, is like new revelation
Of the power of harmony. Tonight is to be
devoted to the " Music Of the future" but it
would be well to intersperse q few pieces by
other composers than Wagner, so as to contrast
his style with others.
THE LOUISIANA QUESTION BEFORE THE
SENATE.-Ex-Gov. Pinchback, OF Louisiana,
arrived yesterday, and is at the Arlington. He
brought his credentials as Senator-elect for the

Senate by Senator West, and regularly filed.
The credentials of Messrs. Mcmillan and Raw,
elected respectively to succeed Senator Kellogg
in the present Congress by the Warmoth and
Kellogg legislatures, have arrived, and will also
be presented in the Senate. 1t will thus be seen
that the latter body is called upon to decide the
question as to which is the legal legislature of
the state OF Louisiana.
