WAUKEGAN, May 1a.--Ihe Old Folks' concert
took place, at Phoenix Hall on Friday night Il
was conducted by DR.. R. ". .Clatkson IN a fault
less manner. He was indeed the star Of TIE
evening, and as such ahone forth in ill his brill
tancy. The singing Of Home, Sweet Home !,
BY Mrs. Durfee was particularly well rendered,
and won Eaptnrous applause from the audience.
All the performers did themselves much credit,
and practically illustrated that Waukegan pos
sesses an abundance Of home talent. The affair
was also financial success, and, such being the
case, repetition wauld perhaps not be asking
too much. Come, ye; old, folks, don't grow
weary in Well- doing; make known your fnten-
ton Of ere long repeating the performance. and

Ex-senator Brownlow and the
great third termer, ex-Postmaster
Bard, two men above all others up-
suspected of any superfous tender
hess towards "unreconciled rebels, "
unite in condemning the attempt to
make martyr or Jefferson Davis.
Mr.. BrownlOw says that while Mr..
Davis was the nominal head of the
rebellion, he was in reality its great
est weakness and that so unpopular
was he at the close of the war that
but for his incarceration in Fortress
Monroe he would have been hated
and despised by the Southern people.
AS for the bugbear of his return to
the United States Senate if his dis
abilities are removes, Mr.. Brownlow
says the step would be the death knell
of the Democratic party, and he does
not believe in standing in the way of
that.

HOME INTERESTS.
WORK FOR OUR M. Q.

In the multitude of things needed,
things that might have been, and
ought to be in or near Martinsburg,
we are led now in these depressing
times to turn our thoughts with great
hope to our memper of Congress
Mr.. Faulkner. He has age, expe-
rience and opportunity; has been very
highly honored and is evidently hold
ing forth the idea that he intends to
do much during his service to adj
vance the material interests of West
Virginia. Whilst we look forward
to the result of his labors generally,
we desire specially to call his atten-
tion and to invoke his aid in building
up Martinsburg. Whilst he has lived
in Martinsburg he has served three
terms in Congress, and represented
the country for four years at Paris,
the head-centre Of manufactures, en-
terprise and thrift of the world, and
whilst he always obtained great credit
as an improvement man, still, it is
astonishing that the records, either
written or unwritten, bear no testi-
mony for the inception of any enter
prise in his native town. No-not
one. Now this is all wrong. A man
of Mr.. Faulkner's genius, culture
and energy cannot stay in legislative
halls six years, or withstand the vices
and pomp of a French court four
years without coming in contact with
good deal of capital seeking invest
ment, that might be utilized and
made profitable to investors by the
building of manufactures and other
enterprises of internal improvements
at Martinsburg. Operators in man
ufactories and stock companies gray.
itate to Washington from all over the
country, and if our representative in
connection with his general duties as
an M. c., never before thought in
this connection of his special duties
as a citizen, we pray him on behalf of
all the people of Berkeley to do so
now. There are plenty of men who
find time in the midst of important
duties to keep watchful eye upon
such affairs, and who make urgent
effort to direct capital to special To-
cations. Cannot Mr.. Faulkner do
the same.
We venture the assertion that men
can be found with not near Mr.. F.'s
experience, to say nothing of ability,
who will manage during one term of
service in Congress to establish two,
if not three, manufactures in Mar
ti1sburg, with outside capital, that
will.be of incalculable advantage to
the people of the whole county. We
trust our representative will not con-
slider these remarks as being tine
tured with acerbity, for such is not
the intention. They are made be-
cause the times demand them, and
because they are true and logical and
we trust they will be so accepted and
that they may stir up some action or
scheme that will honor the represen-
tative the people have so often hon
ored, and be of Unreasonable useful
ness to all our people.

Il CHRONIC LIAR.

1t is an admitted fact that no re-
spectacle man in this county, where
old Buzfuz is known, would accept
as truth anything coming from him,
of which they had any doubts. He
has never been known to utter a
truth where lie would serve his
purpose. Without principle, charae.
ter, good morals, or the single attri-
butte ola gentleman-having nothing
to gain and nothing to loose-it is
hardly to be wondered at that out of
his added brain and foul lips there
can issue nothing but filth and un-
cleanness. A moral wreck and cast
a-away, embittered by the pangs of a
guilty conscience, a wasted life and
neglected opportunities, it is perhaps
natural for such perverted nature
to seek to drag others to his own lev
ell that misery may be to some extent
ameliorated by company. Neither
is it to be wondered at that such a
creature would for small consider
alton sell himself to those who put a
dog-collar around his neck and bid
him bark or be silent at pleasure.
This old falsifier has asserted and
re-asserted that the writer hereof, a
member of the Democratic State Ex-
ecutive Committee, was instrument
tai, with our vote and influence at
the last meeting of the Committee,
in fixing Charleston as the place for
holding the State Convention. 1t
was not our intention to satisfy him
with any explanation. And we only
allude to it now, in Difference to the
wishes of several personal friends,
who, satisfied of the lying charges of
old BuZfuZ, desire us to pin it down
on him. We now state that we were
not with the Committee at it's meet
ing when the place of holding the
Convention was fixed, had nothing
to do with the location, and knew
nothing of it's action in this regard
until we saw it in the published pro-
ceedings of the meeting of Commit
tee a day or two afterwards. Old
Buzfuz made a great blow; he gloat-
ed over what he supposed was a
crushing discovery. We, several
years ago, characterized him in fit
ting language, and as he quietly
pocketed the charges we then made,
nothing he can now utter, in the way
of abuse and blackguardism, can or
ought to elicit notice so long as he
remains quietly under the smart of
the flashing we then gave him.
In another column we pub
lish letter from Col. w. p. Thomp-
son, of Parkersburg, member of the
Democratic State Elk. Committee,
and who attended the last meeting
of the Committee, and was present
when the place for holding the Con-
vention was selected. His letter will
dispose of the charges of old Buzfuz,
and show what reckless and unmit-
igated liar he is. If there is any one
who can be induced to believe any
thing he says after this, we don't en-
Wy them either their association or
confidence. We hope old Buzfuz
will lose no time in writing up his
promised history of the affair of To-
eating the Convention at Charles
ton. When he is through, or be-
fore, we propose to give history of
BuZfuz-which we promise shall be
''mighty interesting readin'."

THE tide is rapidly drifting in ia
vor of Hon. Allan G. Thurman as
the next Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. He is to-day the
ablest, purest, most sagacious and
popular man in the Democratic par
ty, and his availability is being rec
ognized by the managers. They be-
gin to see that if Thurman cannot be
elected, it is simply foolish to expect
to succeed with any other man. His
record on the financial question
makes him decidedly the most avail
able man that can be put forward
in the hope of carrying New York
and Ohio. He would be entirely sat-
isfactory to the hard money men of
New York, and less Objectionable
to the paper money men of Ohio
than any other man who would be
at all satisfactory to New York and
the Eastern States. Senator Thur
man has maintained a position on the
currency question which is by no
means extreme, and more easily rec
oncilable to the lizards" and "softs"
than that of any other man who has
been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the Democratic nomi-
nation. 1t is conceded that Cover
nor Tilden is virtually out of the con-
test, and that the fight has about mar
rowed down to Thurman and Hend-
ricks, both Western men, and both
able and popular. In this contest
