MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

4 Handsome Street.-Porter street from
Ninth to Thirteenth is probably the most
beautiful thoroughiare in the city. This is
especially true OF its western side. Com
mencing at Ninth street there is the Taylor
mansion, next the beautiful new three-story
brick residence Of Mr.. j. Henry Patteson,
and after this the following, in the order
named: The handsome brick building
erected by Mayor Chiles, now owned and
occupied by Mr.. James W. Archer; the fine
frame dwelling Of Mrs. Snellings, occupied
by Rev. DR.. David B. Winfree, OF the Baptist
church; the brick residence OF Mr.. Walter
II. Cheatham, just completed, and in occu-
pancy the frame building at the corner OF
Twelfth street, owned by Mr.. Charles W..
Turner, and occupied by Misses Claiborne
and Addie H. Burnett. On the opposite
side of Twelfth street, on the same side, is
the brick residence owned and occupied by
DR.. S. L. Ingram; then the two handsome
brick buildings just constructed by MesSrs.
Harrison IL McCrary, one Of which is occu-
pied by Mr.. w. 5. Blankenship, the other
is untenanted; tile handsome brick dwell
ing owned and occupied by Mr.. Charles w.
Turner, completes the list Of noticeable
houses on the west side.
On the east side OF Porter street, and at
its intersection with Ninth street, is the
Methodist parsonage, very neat and COM
Portable frame building, occupied by Rev.
George G. Fandersice. Directly opposite
to this last named is the frame building
| owned by Mr.. Walter 8. Gill and occupied
by Major John b. Vaughan, master car.
builder OF the Richmond and Danville rail
road. This house has been recently thor
oughly retitted, and is, or. ornament to this
growing section. Just beyond this build
ing are the three framed residences occu
pied by eX-Councilman Thomas M. Fend
lev, eX-Councilman j. Robert Perduc, ant
City Treasurer Joseph w. Bronaugh, Jr
These are probably three Of the fines
wooden buildings in the city. They have
all modern conveniences, have been i'm
proved to meet the required grade in thu
streets, and have sidewalk and gutter ir
front OF them. Opposite to the last named
of the aforementioned houses Is the pretty
little church OF the Jealous Manchester Pres
byterians. On the next square is the fran,
residence Of the venerable and respected DR.
Sydenham Wake. The last house worthy
OF notice on the east side OF Porter street i
that of Councilman Ajax Gary. This last i
the oldest Of any herein mentioned, but con
stant Improvement gives it an appearance
rs handsome az any Of those to which atten
ton has been called. This house is also tn
headquarters OF our popular delegate in th
lower house OF the General Assembly, A. {
Attkisson, Commonwealth attorney for th
city.
Porter street is By no means the onl
pretty avenue in Manchester; in fact, s
rapid is the march OF improvement that i
4 short time what has been written Of foll
squares Of Porter street may be repeated
with additional commendation Of the who'll
city. Other improved localities will from
time to time receive needed attention.

THE CONCERT LAST N1GIIT.-Sotwith-
standing the inclement weather Of last
night there was 4 very full and fashionable
audience at Mozart Hall. The occasion was
Il complimentary testimonial to the profcS-
sional musicians OF the Mozart Association.
The programme as announced in yester-
days Dispatch was rendered in faultless
manner. Mrs. Reinhardt, Miss Swain, and
Messrs. Redford and Grant, were in fine
voice and added to their already established
reputation. The scene and area from II
TroYatore was rendered with fine effect.
In the first part, in response to an enthus-
astic encore, Miss Swain sang the ever
popular !" Last Rose Of Summer
The instrumental performers fairly dl-
vided the honors Of the evening with the
vocalists, and the concert was one OF the
most enjoyable of the season.
There was some little difficulty that pre-
vented one of the curtains from being
dropped and the scenes shifted clumsily,
but this was doubtless owing to the fact
that no experienced scene-Shifter was in
charge OF the stage.
Manager Wyatts corps OF ushers were,
as usual, very attentive; and the concert
may be regarded as a success in every par
ticular. But for the bad weather Mozart
Hall would have no doubt been filed; as it
was, many tickets not used were disposed OF.

Retrenchmem and Reform,.-The regular
meeting OF the City Council will be held
Friday night at Il O'Clock.
In addition to other matters OF import
ance the following will come up as ques-
tons Of privilege in the order named:
Mr.. Brooks's resolution reducing the sal
aryo the Mayor from S400 to 800 per an
mum.
The resolution of Mr.. A. Carey Gibbs re-
ducing all salaries received by city officials
and employees ten per cent. on the amount
now received the reductions in these sala-
ries to commence from July l, 1878.
Mr. Gibbs also offered resolution (Which
was adoptedl calling on the City Auditor
for O statement OF the names Of officials and
employees, with the amount received by
each, and a statement from the Superin-
tendent Of Maury Cemetery Of the receipts
and expenses OF said cemetery.
The last privileged question Is the ordi-
nance which provides "that on the streets
already guttered, or which may be hereafter
guttered, that sidewalks shal be laid, the
property-owners to pay for the bricks and
the city to pay for all other material and the
labor"
This ordinance, it is stated, is being
framed for the special benefit OF the resi-
QGULS Oi L HStiIA SLfSCt hfChaCJ.
Messrs. Brooks and John c. Batcheller are
the patrons OF this ordinance. Its passage
is strongly opposed by Messrs. &. c. Nc
Rae and II. s. Whitehead, the largest pro-
performers and Taxpayers In the Council.
With regard to the proposed reduction OF
salaries, it is not believed that much Gf any
thing) in the way Of retrenchment and re-
form will be attempted or accomplished

ence to public danger and private damage.
To refer this discretion to committee
would in two ways defeat the ends OF the
charter-first, by remitting to the discretion
OF few men matter which the Assembly
required to he considered by numerous
and differently constituted body: and Sec
ondly, by withdrawing a matter OF 1mpor-
tant public and private concern from an
official body, whose actions are deliberate
and public, to an agency whose actions are
presumably more hastv and private. The
guaranty. for the protection Of the neighbors
is almost destroyed, for while the Council
would be bound, morally, to require the
pulling down OF any framed house al
lowed by the committee, providing one
fourth OF the owners OF the square de-
manded it, yet the evil might be accom-
plished before the Council could act. The
square might be in ashes before the Council
felt disposed to interfere. Besides, it is not
fair. rs it seems to me, with all respect, to
hold out inducements to man to invest his
money by the favorable report OF commit
tee, when the body which appointed that
committee might find itself compelled
to destroy his property without compensa-
tion on 4 petition which would have been
filed in time to prevent him from mourning
any expense If the Council had retained
this subject where the Legislature placed it.
For these reasons / am Of opinion that
the resolution in question is forbidden by
the charter.

The Chair was about to proclaim Judge
Allen nominated, it seemed, when General
Anderson made the point that it required a
maiority of all the Conservative members Of
the House (80) to nominate.
Mr.. Coghll also sustained this point.
The Chair declared Judge Allen the nomi-
nee OF the party.
General Anderson said that he could not
feel himself bound by any such decision.
He asked for another ballot. He asserted
that there were names of Radicals still on
the roll.
General Echols Stated-amid much confu-
son-tbat he had Just seen Mr.. Hanger,
and that Mr.. Hanger. speaking for himself
personally, said he was content to let the
matter rest here. 1t was due, he thought
to Mr.. Hanger to say that much, whatever
course members might as matter OF prin-
ciple desire to take.
A motion to adjourn was then made aud
carried.
PERSONAL.
Judge Allen is about thirty-fve years Of
age, a graduate of the University, a lawyer
by profession, and was for Il time Judge Of
Shenandoah County Court. Hc was Il MEM
ber of the last House.
The gentlemen who supported Mr.. Han
ger, and who protest against the ruling OF
the chairman giving the nomination to
Judge. Allen, up to II O'Clock last night
had not determined what action they would
take.
