:ghe Concert on Friday Night.

We had the pleasure on Friday
night of attending the concert
Fip the courthouse in behalf Of the
Baptist church, by. the renowned
songstress Madam Isabelle McCol-
|och Brignoli, assisted by a number
of the Abbeville ladies and gentle
men. The occasion, like that OF
the concert o few weeks since, was
one of rare interest, and attracted
a large audience. Madam Brig
noli as a matter of course was
the star of the evening, aud her
efforts were received with unbound
ed enthusiasm, and ropturous ap.
plause. Our people enjoyed for
the second time the opportunity OF
greeting one of the queens of the
operate stage, and sighifying their
appreciation of the triumps Of mu-
steal genius. 'sCasta Diva" "Katll-
leen Mavournecn," and other choice
airs, evoked all the powers of the
matchless voice, and called forth
the highest triumphs of the divine
art. Madam 3. was we'll sustained
by the Misses Calhoun, Norwood
and MCGOWAN, who performed very
skillfully a number of attractive
pieces. The amateur string band.
consisting of Messrs. B. L. Jones
on the violin, and Messrs. j. N.
Dodson and j. w. Trowbridge on
the flute, and Mr. J. W. Fowler on
the base violin, added very much
to the attractions of the evening.
The pieces were well rendered, and
enthusiastically encored. The fol.
lowing was the programme of en-.
ercises, which was however supple
mented by a number Of other
pieces, which were presented in
the course of the entertainment.

POLITICAL.

The Democrats and Liberal Republicans
OF Wisconsin have united in a call for State
Convention to nominate an independent State
ticket.
Senators Logan and Wright, ex-senator
Harlan, and Representatives Palmer and Orr
are announced to take the stump for the Re-
publican ticket in Iowa.
The Hon. ID. w. Gooch has been selected
by the Massachusetts, Republican Central
Committee to preside over the Convention
at Worcester on Sept. 10.
According to The Missouri Republican,
this is what is the matter with the party from
whose ranks it has withdrawn: "The Dem
ocratic party has lost it" place in the affec-
tons of the people, not because much of its
record is not stainless and glorious; not be.
cause many of its ideas are not based uron
recognized truths not because its member.
ship does not embrace a fair proportion of
the best citizens-but because it has chained
itself to defunct issues for which the masses
care TO more than for last years almanac.
Enlightened and liberalized Democrats NAV
well exclaim with the Apostle: who shall
deliver us from the body of this death?' But
of the leaders and too many of the rank and
file we fear it must be said They are Joined

MR.. DlNGLEYS POPULARITY.

The Waterville Mail, which is not an
avowed party paper, and speaks its opin-
ions very independently, regards the nom
ination of Mr.. Dingley as wise. 1t says
1.-The nomination of Mr.. Dingley by the
republicans promises to be a bond of
union and good faith in that party. His
election by very large majority is not
even questioned by any class of oppon-
ents. Indeed it looks plain that if it were
not for the disgraceful circumstances by
which the great democratic party has
come to this last stage of it's ruin, the
rank and file men would be glad to for
sake their leaders, and quietly fall in with
the republicans at the approaching cleo
ton. The only thing in the way is the
hue-and-cry raised everywhere by the
recklessness of Congress. This really
takes no party character; and if it did the
republicans are more unanimous in con-
demning it than the democrats. Mr..
Dingley has evidently been growing in
popularity ever since his nomination; for
no man among our party leaders can show
more carefully made and correct politi-
cal record and we can see no hope cf a
better time than the present for such dem
ocrats as have become satisfied that the
old issues are extinct, to fall into the re-
publican ranks and claim their share in
its interests"

ASSUMING THE SOUTHERN DEBT.

ASSUMING THE SOUTHERN DEBT.
The republicans were ridiculed last year
by the democrats for maintaining that the
election of Mr.. Greeley to the Presidency,
supported as he was by the democracy
north and south, would be long step in
the direction of bringing the government
to assume the debts of the States that re-
belled. Such scheme it was said was
preposterous, and had never been and
never would be seriously thought of by
anybody.
Now we find that the scheme is really
atoot, and is to be urged upon the coming
Congress, il the movers in it do not lose
courage before the session begins While
the republicans have the control OF the ma
tional administration and Congress, this
monstrous burden can neyeribe fastened
upon the government, but were the
democratic party in power the project
would succeed. The strength of the
democracy is in the South. Its lead
ers are there, and they will shape and
control its policy, Of which the assump-
tlon OF the debt will be leading feature.
Mr.. Greeley as President would have been
entirely in their hands as much as anv dem.
ocrat. Considering the position he occu.
