" III san, inferior in ability. The refusal of MIR.

represented in the Western dispatches. His sole
reason WAS that which he referred to in his pub

sagenents which rendered it inconsistent
70 accept an appointment by the Department OF

Tas THEODORE THOMAS CONCERT, LAST EVENING
The audience at the Opera House, last ever.
ing may fairly be called large one, the orches
tfa aud orchestra circle being very nearly full
while probably fifty, wiser than tho rest chos,
the balcony, where they had by far the best op
portnnity OF really enjoying the music
altogether there were about eight hundred
N tho house, and this is larger number proba.
bly, than ever before welcomed one OF these
concerts. At Institute Hall. it ia true, they
once or twice drew quito crowded houses. bnt
the capacity OF that hal, with the stage enlarged.
(as had been done for the Thorn ~ orchestra ! Is
less than eight hundred.
In its general characteristics, the concert WAS
what we have learned to expect from the organ
4ation headed by this now famous conductor.
The execution WAS admirable--precise, spirited,
aud with the fullest artistic finish. The pro.
gramme Afforded charming variety, the works
Of the greatest composer having been
drawn on for some OF their fin
sat pieces. Perhaps the most generally
plcaslng were the selections from dluck, giving
6rst tho "Chorus OF Happy Spirits" and then in
tharp contrast to ts smooth and delicious mea-
tires, the harsh and wild shrieks of the nDance
" Furies.' The conclusion, the overture to
lsmpa WAS also very fine.
There was universal expression OF gratiaca-
ton with the singing OF Madame Sterling. Her
voice s very soft and melodious, and she uses it
with extraordinary absence of apparent eff
fort. After the aria in the first part
OF the programme, she simply acknow.
Iedged the encore, but the hearty ap.
panse, after her ballad When the Tide
Comes in" brought her back to add cradle
song which peculiarly displayed the merit of her
execution, and added to the pleasure of the au-
dence.

The New York Tribune, to-day. has a long ar
ticle to the effect that VIM M. Tweed is in or
near that city. watching the condition Of Chas.

Ring suits, and that finding that gentleman in a
supposed dying condition, Tweed left his prison
and hid.
1t is not believed by any of the Sherir's Of
hcers that he has gone distance OF thirty hours

awaits the conclusion Of Mr.. 0'Conors illness.
He will return if Mr.. O'Conor survives and is
willing to continue the negotiations which
would return not only Tweed's plunder, but also

H'i .st BALTIMORE, Dec. IA.
At the regular weekly meeting Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal preachers Of this city, yesterday,
the principal subject of conversation was the
recent reported utterances of Bishop HAyen ut
the preachers meeting in Boston, in relation to
the re- election Of President Grant for the third
term. paper was presented for the considers-
ton Of the Meeting declaring that the utteran-
ces OF Bishop Haven were simply his individual
opinions and did not in any way commit, the
Methodist denomination, and that the reported
utterances were regarded as improper and out
OF place, since the Methodist Church does not
take part i'll politics or propose to do so.
Several ministers called attention to the fact
that the exact words Of Bishop Haven were not
known, and that whatever he did say was in Che
course OF his giving an account to- the Boston
preachers' meeting of his field, OF lAbor in the
South, and his Impressions Of jig prospects.
Speeches, of which the burden WAS desire to
do no injustice to Bishop Haven. and At the
same time a hope that the Methodist church
might not be placed in 9 wrong position by inju-
dicious utferances Of any of its members, were
made by Revs. Myers, France. Davis, Price,
Carroll, Edwards and others, and finally the pa
per was withdrawn baE 'st9e i31n.- et77
Dr. VIM. s. Edwards read paper in which he
showed that Methodism in Baltimore had not

..Ano.hcr Democratic Blunder."
from our oien Correspondent.

The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald telegraphs, last night =
The Democrats in Congress continue to play
into the hands of their adversaries. Like the
Bourbons, whom they are 30 often named after,
they ''never Tlearn anything and never forget
anything" For example, Senator Merrimop, Of
North Carolina, very quietly introduced bill
to-day to repeal section 4,7l6 of the Revised
Statutes Those who were curious enough to
refer to the paragraph found that it WAS sec
ton of the Pension law which provides that z" no
money on account of pensions shall be paid to
any person or to the widow, children or heirs
of any deceased person who, in any manner vol
unfairly engaged in or aided or abetted the late
rebellion, against the authority Of the United
States" The introduction of this bill is about
on par, if it is not good deal worse, than the
blunder OF the Louisiana resolution. The DEM
ocrats have put their foot in it twice within a
SING week
