swarms in them the first two or three days OF
tho session. Still. there are enough Congress-
men here to give the place familiar look and
enough OF the lobby to mako tho place familiar
to Congressman. For many C5ngressmen. who
supported Roachs subsidy last summer. the ap-

all the signs look to a business session. the
carly introduction Of appropriation bills. their

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
MR.. WHITES ORGAN CONCERTS.

Mr.. John White, the orRanist of st. PatTicks,
eaye yesterday afternoon the fret OF 8 series OF
ak organ concerts which no intended giving at that
Cathedral. It was In some respects most inter
esting concert. Mr.. White had, by some excel
lent work last year, gained for himself On
snvable posltion among the organists OF New-York;
b programmes had as rule, been selected with singu
lar discretion and he'd been admirably interpreted aud
he had in every way proved himself an artist OF the st
rank Therefore TIE FIRST Of the concerts which he an
pounced for this season became event OF decided n
terest, because organ-musie proper Is not thlng
which the organists OF our great churches take
much concern for, while II does indisputa-
bly, exercise a most important influence on
the taste OF the public not only regards organ-muse
itself but st further regards church music OF every
sort 1t is almost impossible that an organist who I'M
derstands and appreciates the beauties OF thoroughly
good and pure organ-music should allow the
choir Of which he lie master TO sing trash,
aud therefore Il Is important that such
man. when he shows a disposition TO make use OF
the best class Of music at the organ should feel that that
mart OF the public which cares for what it listens to on
each Sunday while It may not in every respect ndorse
his selections or his rendering OF them does OF least
acknowledge their excellence, and its respect for the
player who presents them. mr. Whites concert yester-
day showed work in the right direction Several Of the
numbers on his programme were excellent There was
the A minor Prelude and Fugue Of Bach,
Trio and Cannon by Merkel and Thieles Giro
mato Fantasia aud Fugue Besides these there we're
several nOvedes-amOng them a couple of Morceaux
d'Egise," BY Danela, for organ and violin. with the
violin part not very well played by Dir. Raboeh,
Benedietus from Liszts Krennugs Messe.' With the
violin obIgato even worse played than the former one
by the same viohnist, aud Sonata Pastorale,
by Rbenberger, which was eharmingly played by
Mr.. White, and which was in itself most
delightful composition, full Of the poetry Of green heds
and pleasant woods yet stdent graceful but
never weak The Sonata by stche, SAUL" a sort Of
symphonic tne painting, a thoroughly interesting
work. modelled what after the great Reubke Sonata,
though not all its equal far at least rs could be
Judged by a single hearing 1t bold and original
bat II lacked great musical control OF his subject
which Reubke shows and perhaps. too, ms genius The
next Of these concerts will be given the day after to-
morrow at half past g. when a most interesting pro-
eramme VIII be rendered. containing, among other
things RheiDborger Sonata, RhapsOdie BY st. saGns,
and the variations in A fiat by Thiee.

FEDERAL OFFICERS IN NETWORK.


40 CHANGES Al PREsENT-MR. oGDEN's ADMINS
TRAIoN NOT APPRovED-THE PRESIDENT AND
MR. CONKLING.
lFRoM TIE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE !
WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-It is now pretty well
settled that no important changes among the Fed
eral officers in New-York State will be made before
the November election. Architect Ogden, who has
charge of the new Government Building at Albany,
will undoubtedly be removed, but not for political
reasons The recent investigation Of Mr.. Ogdens
management, ordered by the Treasury De-
partment, failed To disclose any dishonest
practices in which he himself has been engaged,
but it did show a lOoseness Of administration under
which Government property was disappearing. The
Secretary of the Treasury will take pains TO have
il understood that Mr.. Ogden is to be removed for
cause and not because he is identified with any
particular faction of the Republican party, or was
appointed on anybOdys recommendation.
The other changes that have been talked of in
Albany and other parts Of the State will not
be made at present, il at ALL An active
Republican from New-York State, who called
on tho President Just before his departure for
the West, referred in conversation to the
rumors of wholesale removals of Federal officers
in the State, and expressed the hope that nothing
would be done that would look like q on Sena-
tor COnkling or his friends. The gentleman said
that he was not a COnking man, and would prefer
the election of some other Republican in his place,
but he did not believe that the President of the
United States had any right to interfere IN favor of
one faction in tho Republican party IN NeW-YOrk,
or against another He had been opposed 20 IL when
General Grant made war on Ex-Governor FentOn's
friends. aud he opposed to it now. The Presi-
dent replied that he agreed perfectly with what the
gentleman had said, aud that he was determined to
know nothing of factional contests in the Republi
can party.
Referring 10 the report that be was anxious TO
prevent MFR. Conkling's reelection. the President
said that he was a Republican in politics and had
never seen the time vet when he would not prefer
the election OF any respectable Republican 10 an im
portant office 10 that of any Democrat. He denied
that the Administration was labOrlug for the defeat
of Mr Conklng, or that any of its removals or APP
pointments in New-YOrk City or State had that end
