man, at Holcombe Hall, on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings Of last week. were well at
tended, and passed of Very successfully, Il They
were the best entertainments that our people
have ever had the privilege Of listening to-
both with reference to the character of the Sc
lections and the rendering of the music; and
the appreciation shown by the audience dur
ing both evenings evidenced cultivated taste
that is highly creditable.
Mrs. Everest, Soprano, from St. Luke's p.
E. Church, Philadelphia, delighted the audi
ences by her singing. She has voice Of great
self-possessed, manner and natural style of
singing, demonstrated the fallacy of the i'm
preston so general among the masses that
classical music Tor, as they indifferently term
it, scientific or "operatic' music, is
necessarily composed of screeches, contortions
Mrs. Ashmead, Contralto, of the choir of
the cd Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia
(who filed Miss Young's place, she beng uil-
able to be present in consequences of illness),
has a voice of unusual depth and roundness,
and her singing was highly appreciated. Her
rendering of two or three solos was peculiarly
fine, and all were good. M qas s. IS! 80 =
Mr.. Tams, the Baritone, unaccountably fail
ed to put in his appearance, although having
positively promised to be present. Mrs. Ev-
crest and Mrs. Aslmead, however, filed in
the vacant portions of the programme to the
satisfaction of all present.
The violin solos of Mr.. ]. B. Barlow, of
Glover Hill, We're very attractive feature of
these concerts. We were not aware, until we
heard Mr.. Barlow on the above evenings, that
our county possessed violinist of such real
artistic ability. His performances were GER
tainly highly creditable. His rendering of
"The Last Rose of Summer was charming,
and was given with much feeling
The piano pieces for eight hands were a
novel feature. They We're skillfully perform
ed and quite pretty. We thank Mr.. Hoffman
for saving the audience the inliction of the
usual two-hand concert pieces, full of rumbling,
tumbing, pounding and noise, and remarkable
only for the absence of music in them.
The Orchestra and Chorus composed, with
but few exceptions, of home TALENT reflected
credit on Prof. Hoffman's ability as Conduc-
tor Much of the music was of a very difficult
character, and yet it was rendered with a pre-
cision and confidence which are not often ex-
celled. Gentlemen from abroad who were
present, and who were thoroughly competent
to'judge, expressed surpriseat the unexpected
display of musical ability by the Orchestra
and Chorus.
The space required for other matters will
not allow us to speak of the programme in
detail.
AT the close of the concert ON Thursday
evening, Rev. P. A.. Studdiford offered a series
of resolutions, commanding the concerts both
as to the class Of music and the skill displayed.

The Ohio Senate recently pa ssed
a bill to repeal all usury laws, ano
leave the rate of interest open with
out limit. The Legislature of Con-
necticut adopted that policy year
ago, and the nature of subsequent
experience there has been such. that
the Republican State Convention, a
few days since, unanimously made
this expression on the subject:
Whereas, Advantages has been taken
of the repeal of the usuary law by
the last Legislature, so as to oppress
borrowers of money by the charge
of excessive rates of interest; there
fore,
Resolred, That in the opinion o.
this convention the next Legislature
should enact usury law that shall
restrain the taking Of excessive rate.
of interest, and provide proper pen
alties for the violation of such law
While this may not be regarded a
conclusive on the subject, the sud
den change Of sentiment here indica
ted may properly be suggestive tc

contracts at ten per cent. interest
/ with such modification of the law;
as shall promote collections, ar
what Ohio wants. No regulation a

'rhe German has not yentured Q

The German has not ventured on
any general measure to prevent EN-
igration, but it is employing every
discuuragement to which it dares
resort. Not long ago a Jewish
teacher at Inowrazlaw, was Gned one
hundred thalers for acting as emf
grafton agent. 1t is probable the
poor man violated some technicality
of the law, but his business was the
real ground for persecution. Count
Gutenberg, Minister of the Interior

recently as to the caucus of increased
emigration among small propert,
holders, made it apparent that even
such seies of trlumphs rs the Ger

these trlumphs have been attended

The Shermans Case.
From the C.. Leader,

From the c. Leader.
Our telegraphic columns have
given the facts as far as developed,
relating to the statement made be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee
by one c. c. Colgate, Secretary of
the New York Stock Exchange,
charging Judge Charles T. Sherman
of this city with having demanded
by letters a fee of $4,000 from the
New York Stock Exchange, for al
legged services in securing certain
changes in the tax and tariff bill
which was amended by Congress in
June last. Judge Sherman. it will
be noticed, denies the accusation,
and requests leave to sppear before
the committee in his own defense.
Pending that defense, and until all
testimony is heard, we reserve all
comment so far as regards Judge
Sherman But with regard to Sena-
tor Sherman and General Garfield,
it is but just to say, first that the
| amendment to the tax and tariff law
repeating the tax on the borrowed
capital OF banks and bankers. was a
measure ofsuch palpable justice that
1t was adopted unanimously by both
Houses of Congress, and could have
needed no special or illicit influence
to secure its passage; secondly, 50
| far as General Garfield is conccxned.
the record shows that it was intro
duced into the House and passed
without being referred to Gen. Gar
fields committee at all, and that he
had nothing more to do with it than
any other member of the House who
voted on the measure. If it had
been referred to any House COM
mittee, it would have gone before
the Ways and Means Committee, OF
which Mr.. Dawes was chairman, and
of which Mr.. Garfield was not even
a member. More than this, General
Garfield distinctly and empathicaliy
denies ever having been approached
OF influenced by any one upon any
question relating to the bill. What
ever may be the result of the investi-
CATION so far as concerns the part
played by Judge Sherman, the i'm
piled charge that Senator Sherman.
the implied charge that Senator
Sherman and Mr.. Garfield were at
feeted by any undue influence to Sc
cure the abatement of the tax, is
thus far supported by single ray o.
evidence.

Italy has one soldier for every l54

annual cost of each one of these
soldiers is in Germany $40 francis ,

The Democracy of this county. at

The Democracy of this county. at
their convention last Saturday, nom-
mated j. D. Sears. for Delegate to
the Constitutional Convention. Two
years ago, Mr.. Sears could hardly
have received the support OF a cor
poral's guard for any public office,
from the Democracy and we cannot
but think that the party is to be con,
graduated for the progress it has
made as indicated bythis nomination.
While we strongly disapproved and
condemned the political course
of Mr.. Sears in the recent campaign,
we have no hesitation in saying that
his qualifications, for the position he
has been nominated, are unquestion-
ably of high order.
The nomination has been confer
red as reward for services rendered
the Democracy last fall, by Mr..
Sears, as Liberal Republican. And
when it is remembered that the Dem
'ocratic party in this county is stron G.
ly in the ascendency, that they ne ed
ed no aid from disaffected Repnbli-
cans, and especially when sew eral oi
their hitherto tried leads, qualified,
and undoubtedly ambitious for the
honor, are thus made tc, take back
reats. the honor thus conferred upon
Mr.. Sears, to the exc. ].usion of veter-
an Democrats. is Certainly very gen.
erous.
