MUSICAL CONCERT.

tute on Friday evening last, was attended by
number of the patrons and friends of the in
stitution, and afforded pleasant depression
from the monotony of business life. 1t was
merely an impromptu exhibition, arranged
by the accomplished instructor in music,
Miss Sue Lowry, for the two-fold object of
affording the patrons of the institution an op-
portunity of observing what progress had been
made by the young ladies in this department,
at the end of a half session as it also fulfilled
principle of successful instruction, by incl
ting spirit of emulation among the pupils
for creditable performance. In both partic-
ulars we regarded it as pleasant success.
The pupils in instrumental music, numbering
some thirteen young Misses, each performed
a number of exercises at the piano, with rare
skill, ease and confidence, for so short "a train
ing in the divine art. Musical experts spoke
in high praise of the performance; and the
admirable time observed in the execution of
several difficult pieces, reflected equal credit
upon pupils and instructor. The friends of
the institute may feel assured that this de.
partment is under the care of an accomplished
and persevering mistress of the art.
Miss Lula Lowry sang, with splendid ef-
feet, from Donizetti, and Tempest of the
Heart" from II 1rovatore, by Verdi
Professor Hubbard, the indefatigable prin-
cipal, with the accomplished corps of assis.
tants under his charge, is doing brave work
in the cause of education in our midst, and
deserves he will no doubt receive-the
we'll done of the community.

CHARLEsToE, Sept. 1s.-The executive commit
tee Of independent Republicans, who bolted the
nomination Of Chamberlain on the ground of his

during the Scott and Moses administration. have
issued call for Al independent Republican con-
vention, to meet in Charleston October to nomi-

One Of the largest mass meetings Of colored Re
puhlicans ever held in Charleston took place ut
the City Hall last night, and vas addressed BY
Congressman Ransier and others.
The following resolutions were adopted with
great unanimity:
Chamberlain for Governor means q continuance
Of the corruption by which the three last admin
istrations, Of two Of which u. II. Chamberlain was
attorney general, have ruined our people and dis-
RssolSed. That We do hereby pledge ourselves

COLUMBIA, S. O., Sept. 1s.-We assure Repub-

where that the nomination Of Hon. d. H. Cham
berlain for Governor means earnest and thorough
reform in the government Of South Carolina, all
statements to the contrary notwithstanding. His
high character, integrity and capacity to serve
the State secured his nomination without sIcom-
promise or corruption, and against the most dss-
perate combinations. The reported disaifeetim
Of Republicans is Insignificant and not occasioned
by doubts Of the sincerity Of Mr.. Chamberlain or
his supporters in their efforts for reform. The
Orr-romlinson boilers Of 1879 are warm support
ers Of Mr.. Chamberlain. The friends 'of honest
