very large audience attended last evening the
complimentary concert given by the Church Music
Association to their conductor Mr.. G. E. H0rsey.
There were four popular artlsts-Mrs. Gulager,
Miss Hennie and Messrs. Leggat and Remmertz-
and quite goodly array in the line or chorus and
orchestra. The programme consisted entirely OF
Mr.. Horsley's works, comprising cantata
founded on Milton's "Comus,n overture ECU
terpe and a bridal cantata. The first was the
most ambitious OF the three. The style Is rather
trivial Tor sucn an inspiring subject and remi-
niscences OF other composers are thick as leaves
IN Vallambrosa. Yet Mr.. HOrsley evidences, at
least study OF and acquaintance with the divine
art IN which he has cast his lot and although his
ideas are not always original, and do NOT tend to
inspire confidence in him as composer, vet his
musical education seems sufficient to enable him
to steer his course clear OF absolute mistakes. This
is an important point In his favor. The chorus

The Grand Traverse Herald places
itself on the record as decidedly opposed
to the Grange movement, and gives the
following reasons for its opposition.
"First-It is exclusive. If we right
ly understand the matter only farmers
are admitted. We see no reason why
this should be 50. The evils which the
order seek to remedy affect others as
well as farmers, and in many cases quite
as seriously.
"Second-lt is secret organization,
and VIC hold, as we ever have held, that
secret political organizations are unsafe
aud ought not to be encouraged. We
know we shall be told this is not a polit
ical organization. But if it is not polt
zeal it is powerless. The evils which il
seeks to cure are political evils-they
must be removed by the law.making anc
the law-executing power.
"Third-The order is already, il
several States, largely in the hands O
cast.of and broken-down politicians
This is not true, probably, of the order
in this State at the present time, but i
is true in other places.
Fourth the really meritoriou
reforms sought by the order can b
more speedily and thoroughly secured
through the agency of the Republican
party than through any other organiza
tion."

rum between the city and country press;
but, nevertheless, would not complain if
q proper discrimination were made
But, to do the work which costs, and
which the city press imposes upon the
mails by wholesale, for nothing, while
the work which involves no added ex-
pense, and which affects the country
press in large measure, is burdened with
the whole postal charge, is an instance
of discrimination in favor of wealthy
and powerful interest against one less
favorable circumstanced, which, we SUBJ
NIT, ought not to continue. We doubt,
indeed, if this discrimination can be
done away, in practice, by any means
less sweeping than restoration of the
privilege of free local circulation, un.
less a resort is had to an increase OF
postage on papers sent to a distance
a measure which we do not see any signs
of our city contemporaries being willing
to consent to.

We are willing they should rest in peace
in the silent grave, We would not IN
wade the sacred right which belongs to
humsn nature to mourn the loss of near
and dear friends, but the less said OF the
nobility of the cause which sought to
perpetuate human slavery the better. If
Wade Hampton aud men of his stamp
desire to restore the former prosperity
of the South they must abandon history
and 90 to work in some more profitable
field. History will take care OF itself,
but Southern prosperity needs strong
arms and brave hearts to fully develop
it.
The rebellion and the organized blum.
der which it lnaugurated were fatal
mistakes. To correct the evils which
those mistakes entailed upon the nation
should be the part of wisdom and true
manhood To sit amid the ruins Of the
past and bewail the stern DEGREES OF a
righteous fate can neither restore the
dead to life nor raise the hopes that
were buried in their graves. The past
is beyond recall, except as Its lessons
remain with us to stand as sign-boards
to instruct the rising generation to avoid
those errors which brought ruin on the
generations of the past. The South has
suffered sufficiently for the mistakes OF
the rebellion without the further inhic-
ton of this Southern Historical Society
What it needs to-day is less history
and more tolerance. 1t needs to eman
cipate itself from those public enemies
who are feeding upon the prejudices Of
a dead past 1t needs more OF that pro
gressive spirit which seeks to redeem The
past by improving the present. 1t needs
enlightenment, not from the Wade
HamptoDs, but from the books of expe
rience. It's possibilities are great, it
future bright with promise, and it re
mains for its true friends to say whethe
the ful6llment will be equal to the ex
pectation. If its people wish to vindi
cate the truths of history the best wa.
to accomplish it will be to bury its self
imposed historians and allow the natura
development of its resources to speal
for itself.

From the Weston Democrat. ....
ANOTHER PURIFIER.-Dana l.. Hub
bard, editor of the Wheeling Standard, is
another striking illustration of the ten
dencv of thirds of feather to flock to-
gcther." Protesting to publish a neutral
paper, he takes advantage of his position
to villify the Democratic party, and en-
deavors TO defend the corrupt practices
of the Radical brethren.
Now. how about this? In 1870 or
1871. Dana l.. Hubbard returned to
Wheeling from New York. By loud
professions of intense devotion to Demo
cratic principles, and a tender of his SER
vices to do anything the party might re-
uuire he forced himself cOnSpicuOusIy
before the people; and as Il reward for
his services. he was made Clerk OF the
Municipal Court of Wheeling, an office
which pays from $1,000 to $1,000 per
year.
A short time ago this man Hubbard,
casting to the winds his obligations Of
honor. gratitude and faithtulncss to the
people who had honored him, turned his
paper from its course as. aneutral or IN
dependent organ, into a violent oppoScr
of everything right decent or Demo-
cratic.
We suffer no pangs of SORROW at the
rccrcancy Of this gentleman-rather do
we rejoice that we know now exactly,
where to put him. He has been seeking
Il vast wilderness wherein to rest, and
has found it in the Civil Rights Bill and
tn" arms of the Republican, party. He
is an "indcpcndent "a ''middle-man -

iicrs" be- - regarded, and the Democratic
party will be stronger and frmcr for
their loss.

We heard delegate 10 the recent
Radical Convention in this city, state
that in the present campaign, national
issues would be kept on the back ground,
and the fight must be waged on State
issues only. five mistake not, this was
also the sum and substance of the adj
dress of Ex-Governor Stevenson, the
President of the Convention.
Now We can very readily understand
why the Radicals are afraid to meet the
vast catalogue of offences and corrup-
tions of which, as national party, they
have been guilty; but We cannot under
stand upon what possible ground they
can hope TO wage contest for u seat in
