will be continued tomorrow The bill re-
ported appropriates over $i,000,000, and the
eager amendments that throng about II show
that this is only the beginning Of the demands.
The solid South cannot dip into the Treasury
to this extent without the aid of the Demo-
cratic North which has q reputation for econ
omy to sustain. II is scarcely likely this bill
will get through Congress
From Philadelphia Press:
Tho bill now before Congress for the i'm
provoment of tho Mississippi aud the protec-
ton of its alluvial lands approprates S3,57l,-
600 for the levees and S250,000 for the commits
soners salaries. 1t is conceded, however, that
this is merely an entering wedge of the con.
tempatcd system of improvement, which Will
cost at least $5OO0O,00O, besides the annual
sum necessary to keep up repairs. The con-
struction ring treat Captain CowDoN's scheme
with contempt, presumably because his propo-
sition calls for the expenditure Of only beg.
carly S95OOO0, and heartlcssly dcprves them
Of n good ten years job
We might continue these expressions OF
public opinion od infnitDm but there is no
need of it. The country begins to under
stand this concerted sectional action to drain
the Treasury for personal advantage in cases
where cupidity and bull-dozing are the rul-
ing motive power

THE sourH AND PLUMBER.

II Is manifest that the chief purpose of
the average Southern Bourbon is to get his
hand into the National Treasury under
some pretext There is no love Of country,
no respect for the Government, no regard
for right and justice, that rises superior to
the greed Of gain at the expense Of the Gov
ernment and the people, who are part of it.
The bold dash for Southern claims having
been repulsed, and their champions being
compelled TO Withdraw to repair
damages, the next thing in or
der was the scheme that had
millions in it, known as the Mississippi
leyee system, which was aspushed until the bot
tom fell out and had to be abandoned for
some other oontIiyance to plumber the Ma
tional Treasury. The Washington CORE
spondent of the New Orleans Times writes
tho following dispatch under date of Jan
uary %, and we give it to show the latest
expedent resorted TO for the purpose Of
bull-dozing the North into an appropriation

THE CUMMINGS, PENSION BILL.

ii may be n waste of time and raw ma
terial to argue further in support of our un-
rcluted allegation that the arrears of pen
sion act is measure of Republican origin,
and for the enactment of which the Repub-
lcan party is alone entitled TO credit but
we add to the record of proof a few facts
which may have escaped general observa-
ton The bill signed by the President, and
which is now known as the act in question,
was House bill No 1924. 1t was introduced,
as we have repeatedly explained by the
Hon. III. j. b. CUMMINGS, q Republican
member from Iowa, on the I'd day of April,
1873. On its passage in the House on the
10Th day Of June, 1873 it received the vote
of every Republican member, as il did the
vote of every Republican Senator on its
passage in the Senate January Is, 1879.
Every no vote in either House was q DEM
ocratic vote.
We give the negative vote in both Houses,
with the State from which The member
came and to show still more clearly the
special direction of antagonism we prefix
Il = to the name of every member who was
in the Confederate civil or military service
as shown by the Congressional Directory
Others than those so marked We're in the
Confederate service, but we conGne tho
designation TO. those only whose service is
distinctly stated, Here is the negative

The philharmonic Concert.

The Philharmonic Society gave the first of its
proposed series of concerts last evening at the Con-
gregational Church. The spacious auditorium of
the church was filed almost To overnowing with
the contributing membership of the society and
other lovers OF classical music. The programme
consisted of Rombcrg's cantata, Power of
Song" an unfinished oraorio by Mcndelssohn ent
tied Chrstus" and "The Crusaders" dramatic
cantatu 10y Gade. These works belong to the high
est order of orRtorio and Cantntu music and while
the undertaking of such programme was an am
bilious one considering the tender age of the reor-
ganized Philharmonic, their performance was cvi.
denty pleasing and satisfactory to the patrons of
the OCCASION The principal solos Incident to the
programme were rendered 10y Miss Clara Baker,
Mrs, L.. X. Camp, Mrs T.. $. Kimbnli, aud Mcssrs.
Knoop, Pearson, IICad, and Reed who
were generally in good voice, and gave adc.
quate pndcringS of their respective numbers.
The orchestra was exceptionally good probably
the most efficient ever formed in conjunction with
an amateur performance In this city. The conduc.
tors Drs. Cuulficld and Kmball won for
themselves distinguished honor, aud demon.
stratcd their fitness for the responsible and
nrduous duties imposed upon them.
Altogether the members-aCtive and contributing
of the society and the music-loylng public OF
Washington have good reason 10 congratulate
themselves upon the success Of this the first effort
of resident amateur talent to produce programme
of such excellence and magnitude We anticipate
with great interest the continuance of the series

GIVE us the offices, and the sCalawags are

There is candor about the above declar-
alton that challenges our admiration. 1t
suggests no new idea, but is confession
which is good for the soul. II is the old
cry, with variations and modern improve
ments. Before the war the cry was give
" us the power to shape the policy and con-
troll the destinics of this Government and
you can have peace-otherwise war The
power of the Government was conserved in
loyal hands, the war was met the Conieder-
ates were OyerthrOwn, and for Il period the
country enjoyed comparative peace. Now
the cry is, Give us the oflicesw And to
this might be added Pay our claims, let
us plunge our hands into the National
" Treasury up to our arm-pits. and we shall
be happy and contented." We apprehend
that this scheme will fail, as did the rebel
lion, for the reason that the power of this
Government is in sentiment and practice
averse to bestowing the "loaves and fishes
of office" or the payment Of Southern
" claims upon the hungry as considera-
lion for Southern good behavior. This Gov
ernment is in the hands of loyal men yet
and the greed of the South is likely to
keep it there.

WHEN Philadelphia, or Pennsylvania
one and the same thing politically
break loose on an oflice-hunting raid, the
result is an avalanche of applicants and u
torrent of intrigue. Just now there are two
important Pennsylvania vacancies to be
filed by Federal appointment, viz. the sue
cessions of Judge CADwALLADER and Di-
rector LINDERMAN. Hence the recent in
lluN in Washington OF numerous Philadel-
phia Republican politicians But there is
one thing to be commended about these
Pennsylvonia oilice-hunters, and that is that
when one of their number succeeds in his
efforts those who are unsuccessful rarely
suffer from prolonged attack of sore-head-
ism. In short, it is their habit, after a nat
ural cbulltion of growl Mt fist blush of
disappointment, to subsidc into n compla-
