An JSEH ENTS.
The Vocal rocicty's Concert.


There never has been such week OF
music In this city as the present one. The Han
del and Havdon Society, Theodore Thomass Or
chestra, with Rubinstfn, Mills and Mason Club,
the Mendessohn Glee Club, and the Vocal So
ciety ATe all In the field. The madrigal con-
cert Of this latter organization was given last
evening at Stoinway Hail, and the counter at
fractions did not In the least diminish the at
tendance.
Each concert Of this society seems better than
its predecessors, and none have ever been ore
reploto with enjoyable compositions than this
last one. Morley, Mendes,ohn, Macfarren, Los
lie, Lachner and Gado were among the COM
posers represented. Mendclssohn's superb set
ting Of the psalm, Judge me, God" was
the most grand and solemn Of all the
pieces sung; Henry Ieslle's sx-part mad
risl "rhinc Eycs Bright" the most gra-
cious and tender; John Bencts madrRal,
IAN Creatures now arc Merry minded" the
most Intricate, learned, and elaborate; and
Nacfarrens four-part song, "Hark, hark, the
Lark" the most delicate, and perhaps on the
whole the most pleasing. This was sung by
Miss Dccbo, Miss Finch, Mr.. bush, and Mr..
Aiken, an uneXceptionable quartotte. In
deed, Miss Beebe has rare qualities a. a quar-
tette singer. There are many vocalists with
larger, richer, and wei.;htier voices but few
and perfection Of style.
The madrigals eyinced all those qualities that
we have so often had occasion 20 praise. The
results OF Mr. Mosenthals indomitable dfill are
fully realized when the moment of public per-
formance comes, and he now seems to have
brought this organization as far in that direction
as It can well go. They have done the best that
there Il 20 be done In the wpy OF madrigals and
part songs. Has not the time come when they
are prepared to advance a step further and
cupy higher ground2 The presence OF the
Handel and Haydn Society painfully reminds
us that we In this great city arc without an
organza ion capable Of giving the great works
OF the masters of choral composition. Some
time such IA society must be built up, and Just
such admirable singers as belong To this vocal
society would form lts most fitting nucleus
From such foundation what a noble and hon
orable structure might be reared II would be
a pity to lose the delightful madrigals
but on the whole. would not the gain both to
the public AMI to the society itself more than
compensate We simply suggest the subject

Gen. Butler for Governor,

The Journals of Massachusetts report
that Gen. B. +. BUTLER announces that he
will be a candidate for Governor of that
state ut the coming election in November
next We hope this report is well found
cd, and that nothing will interfere with
BuTLER's executing his purpose. Above
all II Is to be desired that no suueamish-
ness among the members of tn, Republi-
can party may be suffered TO prevent his
receiving the regular nomination. Let
him run as the orthodox GRANT Republi-
can, Credit Mobilier, Dack-Day candidate; (;
and IL there is any doubt ns to the proper
device for his banners, let them bear q
bundle Of spoons on one side and sack of
back pay OIL the other.
Gen. BUTLER is prominently the repre-
sentative man of the Administration. He
not only Illustrates its principle, bu; he has
more influence with its Executive than
any other person. by all means let him
bc run for Governor Of Massachusetts,, and
LET the people of that ancient and honored
Commonwealth determine by their votes
whether they are for or against him AMI
the system he incarnates.

INTEREsT ON DEPOSITS.

An Eastern paper laments that the
most alarming feature Of our financial
troubles does not arise from the WORTH
lessness OF the currency and Of our bank
ing system, or the pure speculation
which preys upon the vitals of legiti'
mate business but that there has been
almost everywhere 50 terrible devel-
opment OF that dishonesty which de7
stroys all faith in human nature. and
makes sad havoc of credit, the neces'
sary element in all business transac-
tions. Bank sitter bank. public and
private, has been shown to have been
robbed by those who were placed in
charge of them. Financial trusts have
been betrayed. These things have been
CLOSED over by the tender name Of de-
falcation, and the moral obliquity
from which they arise is entirely lost
sight OF.
Making haste to be rich brings a
curse with it now, as it did OF old. Now,
as thousands Of years ago, the love OF
money is the root of all evil; and that
inordinate greed is part and parcel OF
the system Of finance prevailing in this
country. The custom followed by some
banks Of paying interest on deposits
helps to nourish the appetite for gain
and makes it pervsde all classes and
conditions of men. But lew banks oil
discount can safely promise interest to
depositors on call. To reimburse them
selves they must make hazardous loans,
while the bank or banker that simply
receives deposits in the old fashioned
way having no interest to pay, has the
pick and choice of good paper; for if
none such ls offered, the money simply
lies idle in his vault and costs him
nothing.
Modern notions are very often falses
" called modern improvements, but
the more rapidly we all get back to the
sound old fashioned system of banking
business and plain living, the sooner
we will be rid OF rogues in public life
and IN financial circles, and the sooner
will we get rid OF false notions OF many
sorts.
