the pleasure of visiting in company
with j. IL. Collins, Esq the Children ;
Home, now being constructed by the
Commissioners of this county. The

forces. or will do so when completed, an
abundant supply OF good spring water
into the building. The spring is dis
tant some 800 or 400 yards from the
building. The location is cXcellent, and
from what we can learn rs To the plans
for the building, it will bc not only sub
Stautial i'm construction, but will be fine
in appearance. Mr.. NoSt, of this city, Is
experimenting the construction of the
building, and in his absence Mr.. James

On Thursday night, while Mrs. Smith,
who resides on Eighteenth street, be-
tween Wood and Mccullough, was at
tending the wedding OF her son, some
one entered her house and ransacked it
thoroughly. Drawers were pulled out
and bureaus and wardrobeS rummaged
through, but the only thing taken
was revolver, the property OF man
boarding there.
Early yesterday morning, the house
of a man named Felber, living near the
Cathedral was entered, but before any
thing could be taken the thief became
frightened and took himself off. No
clue in either case.

The Doddridge Concert.


ever seen between the walls OF the Opera
House thronged the building last night
on the occasion of the FIFTH Annual
Concert of the DOddridge Music School.
Not only was every seat taken down
stairs and standing room at premium,
but the gallery contained much finer
audience than generally graCes that
abode of the gods. The large assem-
blage was in the extreme compliment
tary to the school and is credit to the
musical taste Of the city.
Shortly after eight o'clock the curtain
rose and disclosed two pianos upon the
neatly set stage-a Steinway grand and
Knabe square grand. The concert
opened with a solo and chorus, the
former by Miss Lottie letters and the
latter by the class. The audience quick
~ showed its appreciation OF the good
start by the most liberal applause.
Misses Lizzie Cooper and Mamie Kim
berland came next with Il piano duo,
entitled "Les Danes de Seville The
little ladies showed marked proficiency
i'm musical direction, and ut the close
were warmly applauded.
"Under the Walnut Tree, a vocal
solo, was very well sung by LYDIA lr-
win, another diminative lady, and the
tribute OF applause was just and gen.
erOus.
Miss Laura Baggs then played piano
solo, "Graziella." Her comely appear
ance and neat execution at once won
the favor OF the audience.
The next exercise was piano SEX
tette, Rustic Reel, by six little mites
of humanity, ranging in size from stick
OF candy 10 q piece OF chalk. 80 well
did they play that the audience de-
mandcd a repetition, which was given.
The names of the miniature musicians
were: Flora Polack, Lydia McMechen,
Lizzie Crawford, Jessie BaChman, En-
ma CASTOR and Nelson Vance.
Miss Lee Hcrvey, in pure, though
rather low voice, sang bliss, all Rap
ture Past Excellng." Her pleasing APP
pearance and manner, and her sweet
voice were well received, and she sang
again in response to a spirited encore.
A well-played piano quartette,
"Marche Triomphale," by Misses Julia
Rhodes, Louise Helwig, Ella Hervey
and Sue Crumbacker, was followed by
two-pano Duet by Miss Adelia and Au-
gusta Pollock, which was warmly APP
plauded.
Miss Lottie LETTERS sang very sweetly
a song called Joyous Life" after which
another small sextette climbed upon the
piano stools, and soon the delightful
and familiar notes of "Mendelssohn's
Wedding March" fell upon the ear The
players acquitted themselves admirably.
They were Lydia Irwin, Sallie Whitta-
ker, Carrie Anderson, Blanch Pollack,
Virginia Gibson and Lizzie Cooper.
Misses Sallie and Cloyd Duyal per-
formed piano Duet entitled "Mazour
ka DIES TraineauX," in very creditable
way.
Miss Adelia Polack sang a sweet little
ballad, asking "Why Are Roses Red"
and was warmly cncorel at the close.
\ piano quartette, Themes from Luz
cretia Borgia," by Misses Sallie Whitta-
ker. Ella Hcrvey, Gertie Amrine and
Edith Scott, and a solo, "Yaukee Doc
de-" by Miss Lee IIervey, both well
played and applauded, brought the per
Torrance to the aiterpiece This was
cantata called "A Half Hour in Fairy

ones. The characters were:

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-05-08

Much interest centers about the bill
to prevent military Interference at cleo
tions, which passed the house at such
railroad speed on Tuesday. 1t is a
measure designed by the shrewdest OF
the democratic longheads to obyiate
the objections Of the president TO SRI
ders'' on appropriation bills, and to
achieve just rs much politically, as il
the army appropriation bill had passed.
Upon careful examination it is found
that the bill is not by any back
down on the part of the democracy. 1t
goes further than the sixth section OF
the army appropriation bill. This opin-
ion is endorsed by the Washington Post
the recognized democratic organ, which
declares that in fact instead of being q
retreat it Is an advance.
In the senate the bill will be warmly
opposed by the leading republicans,
Messrs. Edmunds, Conkling and Ali.
son having already begun the prepare.
ton of speeches against it. All repub.
licans agree that the bill is drawn ny
with the skill of an Edmunds, and hard
study is required to understand Its
scope.

SUNSET Cox doffed his clown suit
long enough TO present q real good res
olution in the house on Tuesday.
Whether he did so by mistake, as De
La Matyr did in presenting the billion
dollar bill, we don't know. But in the
absence Of proof to the contrary, we
must think that Sunset enjoyed a gen.
uine lucid interval. This resolution
related to slavery in Cuba. The pre-
amble recites the fact that the Spanish
government promised the freedom of
slaves in all her colonies when peace
was restored, but that she failed utter
ly to do SO. Then follows a resolution
THAT the president be requested to in
sist on the emancipation of slaves in
Cuba, and to take such measures, In

SELF CONVICTED.

That love feast of a labor convention
in Vicksburg was given to some re-
markable deliverances. While anxious
to put upon the black man all of the
blame for leaving the south, it grew
suddenly conscience stricken and admit
ted that errors had been committed by
whites rs well as blacks. This admis-
sion is something worth holding a con-
vention for. Usually, the whites down
south consider themselves sovereign of
the soil, and you remember the legal
maxim: 1.-THE sovereign can do no
wrong"
The resolutions adopted declare that
''the colored race is constitutionally
and legally on a plane of absolute legal
equality with the whites, and shall be
accorded practical enjoyment of the
civil and political rights thus guaran-
teed. That consequently the members
of this convention pledge themselves to
use their power and influence to pro-
tect negroes against danger at the polls,
from frauds, intimidation or bulldozing
on the part of the whites. Elections
shall be fair, free and FULL"
Here this convention admits that the
negroes have been grossly wronged in
the past; they have been denied the
rights guaranteed them by the constitu-
ton; they have been intimidated and
bulldozed at the polls; elections in the
south have not been fair, free and
full" 1t must be remembered that
these resolution were drawn up and sub
mitted and adopted by white men. The
negroes did not vote. In what light, then,
do they place our democratic contem-
poraries in the north who have all
along vehemently denied that the me-
gro of the south was being wrongedf
Here we find the best evidence to prove
the narrowing tales of outrage that per-
enially arise from the south.
1t will not do to urge that these res
olutions do not affirm the commission
Of wrong in the past. Then why prom
Use for the better? Why say that ''the
members of this convention pledge
themselves to use their power and in
fiuence to protect negroes against dan
ger" etc.? The south stands convict
ed on its own confession in the open
court of the people. To make the CON
viction stronger it is only necessary to
say that similar resolutions in a con-
vention held in any northern state
would be gratuitous nonsense. In the
north the negroes have always had theiI
rights and it is unnecessary to pledge
them. In the south their rights have
always been denied, often with blood
shed, and it is vitality necessary that
pledges for the better be made in order
to retain the wealth producers of that
region. AS an endorser Of republican
charges, and as a means of disprovine
democratic denials, the Vicksburg con
vention was a success.

strange if the principal requirement for
u position on the force is not a good
set of incisors. Adjective Of that city
finding both hands otherwise engaged,
gripped with his teeth q prisoner who
IA trying to escape. The malefactor
cried out loudly in pain and immediate
ly consented to go wherever he was
wanted. Quite ingenious, we should
say, and the officer is entitled to some
substantial recognition.

said was to initiate currency. Hayes
was overruled on his veto of the silver
bill, but carried his points against the
Chinese bill and the bill to have a spec
ial term of the United States court to
try timber depredators III Mississip-
pi. There is but one instance where
a president vetoed a bill repeating q
law and that was Tyler who pocketed a
bill to repeal a section of the public
land bill.

The national colored conference
met in Nashville on Tuesday. 1t was
called before the exodus began for the
purpose of considering the condition of
blacks in the south. In opening the
meeting the president disclaimed
political intention whatever on the part
OF the conference. 1t was the sense of
the delegates that by properly repre-
senting the grievances of the blacks to
the leading whites of the south, mat
ters could be amicably arranged to the
satisfaction of both races.
