The Third Congressional District
in Virginia.

Hon. J. Amber Smith, sitting member in
the House of Representatives from the Third
Congressional District in Virginia, had pub
licly signified his intention of retiring from
public life at the expiration of his present
term of office. Had he not done this it is
evident that his chances for denomination
and reelection (Which we understand he now
desires) would be very poor; for his letter
against the Civil-Rights Bill was just an i'll
advised action as might be expected from
mere novice. There is, then, no person
within the ranks Of the Republican party in
the Richmond District who would make SO
weak candidate as the present incumbent.
The colored politicians publicly and fearlessly
denounce his course, and the people applaud
the boldness and truth of their sentiments
For this we commend them. Now, let them
be consistent aud not dismissing one insult
able public servant, take for another Repre-
sentative, one whose politics on the matter
of Civil Rights are by no means sound.
Let us call attention to the position on
this subject of prospective, and the proba-
gress, from the same District.
At the recent celebration of the Fifteenth
Amendment, on the Goth, ult., at Richmond,
Rush Burgess Qor he is the happy man)
while advocating Civil Rights, so far as they
are applied to common carriers and juries,
took particular pains to denounce non-pros-
criptive schools as an attempt to force social
equality and as being injurious and destruct-
i've to the educational interests of both races
Now, as Mr.. Burgess is man of peculiar
temperament and peculiar impulses, never
deferring to the judgment or experience of
others. even when they are right, when he
announces himself as opposed to mixed
schools, he means no acquicscence in the
law if enacted, but like Senator Brownlow,
he intends a hostile opposition to the exc
cution of any law either directly or indirectly
abolishing what are known as separate
schools.
We shall be very much surprised if the
colored voters, who form nine-tenths Of the
Republican vote in that District, allow such
a man to be nominated-even though he has
some Government patronage at his back.
We should not be surprised even, if he is
nominated, to see such scratching of tickets,
or such staying away from the polls as to
cause his overwhelming defeat, or cores
pondingly diminished Republican vote.
In Virginia, where little can be hoped for
by State action, in favor Of non-proscriptive
schools, it is to be desired that only such Re-
pubicans be supported who are willing to car
ry on the great work, which the lamented
and martyred Sumner planned and fore
shadowed. CONSISTENCY.

only said: "I'hat's So"

Old Folks Concert.

We were the recipients of an invitation to
attend the Old Folks Concert, given by the
Pioneer Association, Of IIills,lale, ID. c.,
Tuesday evening of last week, and availng
ourselves of the same, we came back more
than compensated for our journey, by the
tcur organization. Nowhere in the District
of Columbia have we listened to such a corps
Of sweet singers as those composing this as
ISOLATION, which is under the leadership of
Hon. S. G.. Brown, assisted by VIM. J. Sim
mons, Esq, who furnished both vocal and
instrumental music.
Having arrived, as we thought, in good
time, we were surprised to find the school
house literally packed, leaving hardly stand
ing room. The villagers, both white and
colored, were in attendance from all sections.
The expressions ON all sides, at the close,
were those Of surprise at the superb render
ing of the various pieces.
"Gideen's Band" is the name taken by the
singers, and the harmony with which many
of the pieces were sung, recalled to our mind
the Jubilee singers of Fisk University.
The singing of the Misses Martha South
ern, Anna NJ. Brooks, Aurelia Raft, Addie
Uranium, Katie Brown, and Lucinda Young-
er, deserve especial mention for the easy and
mexceptionable manner with which they
sung their several solos and choruses.
The pieces called Denominational Quar-
rel, and "Cousin Jedediah," called out long
and hearty applause, and had to be repeated.
La these pieces Miss Sarah Smoot, by her
truly ancient style Of singing and acting,
won for herself complimentary remarks from
all sides. The gentlemen with their bass
voices, made the melodies complete.
To Messrs. Brown and Simmons, though,
all praise is due, and the several churches in
and around Washington will miss rich har-
vest financially, aud musical treat equal to
the Hampton singers, if they do not send
their Trustees to Mr.. Brown and insist upon
his engaging to sing with his band through
out the District.
This is the only organized band of Jubilee
singers in our District, and they are really
success. They have in Mr.. Simmons splen-
did instructor WHO gives gratuitously nearly
all his earnings, after his labors of teaching
in the day-school are over.
1t is fact worth mentioning, that this lit
tie village, composed almost exclusively OF
colored people, lately in bondage, have,
during the past winter, kept up several Or
CARNATIONS, such as Sunday-schools. Lyce-
ums, etc., furnishing to themselves and many
of the citizens Of Washinston, who have
visited therh, entertainment almost weekly,
and all of which are largely attended, even
in ipclepent weather. ~ ~ 81 -

The Reception of waverBy cub
The fashionable season IN this CITY was
brought to most fitting close by the brilliant
entertainment given by the gentlemen of the
"averly Club, at Marion's Hall, on Friday
evening last.
1t Is conceded on all hands that this was
the most complete and elegant affair ever
given in Washington.
The Club was fortunate in securing simply
the finest hall in the city, if not in the coun-
try for such purpose. The music was by
Donch and the supper by French; and when
this is said, all has been said necessary to
know that both were perfect of their kind.
The toilets of the ladies were superb. and
the gentlemen - bless their immaculate
bosoms never looked better. The assem-
blage was noted one brilliant and beauti-
iul women graced the affair with their pres
ence and grace, and honored men laid aside
Tor the time the responsibility of their cares
and entered most heartily into the pleasures
of the evening.
Among the very many ladies and gentle.
men known in society who were present, we
have only room to mention the genial presi-
dent OF the Waverly, Mr.. c. A. Fleetwood,
with his charming wife, Hon. Mr.. Ransier and
Hon. Mr.. Lynch and ladies', Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Washington, the Misses Downing Mr.. w. f.
Matthews; Miss c. T. Vogelsang, of Annap-
oils; Mrs. Henry Jakes Miss Theodosia Ly-

1t was grand success.
