ACADEMY OF MusIc--THE THIRD PHILHAR-
MoNIc CONCERT.
There was nothing lacking at the third concert of
the Philharmonic Society the element of now
city to render it altogether brilliant. There a
large and sympathetic audience in attendance there
two soloists whose performances were well
calculated to pique curiosity, and there was varied
and well arranged programme Of classical
music. The orchestra did better work than
at the rehearsal. It's playing of the schu-
mann symphony in fat somewhat
rough and at times monotonous as in the third
movement where the possible to the express
sion of the "Nicht Schnell' not always found.
but the conceptions of the composer clearly and
vigorously interpreted and for work so full OF i'm
agnatve fancies the performance was all that could
reasonably be expected. In the List concerto in
fiat the orchestra played mmeasuraby better than at
the rehearsal. and the marked difference in the effect
compared with the rehearsal to be
noted in the genuine excitement which the
performance aroused in the audience. Bargel's
"Prometheus'' overture given with abundant
spirit and with conscientious care in detail
worthy of all praise. Mrs. Anna Granger Dow gave
feeling and dramatic breadth that the warm
recognition of the audience. The symmetry of the
artists performance was somewhat marred by the
unduly ponderous playing of the basses in the
compartments. In the second part Mrs. Dow gave
tue Mozart AIR. sung at the rehearsal with artistic
delicacy and finish and brilliant rendering of
schuberts well known "Ungeduld." the latter in
place of the Mendelssohn song printed upon the pro-
gramme. Mr.. Franz Rummel has never previously
showed such abandon he brought to his
playing of the Liszt concerto. Although appar-
entity of delicate physique he seems to be
full of muscular strength and nerve power.
The pianist's effort received with enthusiasm,
and he was obliged to add to the programme a noe
turne by Chopin which formed delicate contrast
to the exciting Liszt number The programme was
especially commendable in one regard that of its ju-
dicious length, consuming precisely two hours in
its performance classical concert of this kind
should never exceed this limit, the heavier the
pabulum the more difficult is the digestion.
In respects the concert event,ul,
in that it fully established the position Of the two
sooists who had before been heard under different
auspices, but who had received the critical
judgment of that final tribunal of artists, the Phil
harmonic audience. II Mr.. Ncuendorf and the
mittee will keep in mind the fact that select

city and subject to a first mortgage of $4,000

chase a second mortgage for 81, 3o0 and that he
occupied the premises for about six months
only, and then abandoned them. taking the furni-
turc &c. away. and failing TO pay the interest the
first mortgage; that the premises sold by the
sheriff on q foreclosure of that mortgage. and the
amount realized but $4,000: aud that the balance
of the mortgage and of the second mortgage still
remained unpaid. IL was alleged in the afii-
davt that ut the time OF the purchase Mr.. Ran
kin represented that he was making money in
OF the play called rhe Danites, for which he paid
according to his statement, $4,000 or 10000; that
he has no other moneys In property, and that he in
tended never to pay this indebtedness. and fraudu-
lently removed these properties, &C.. from out tho
Jurisdiction of the Court II being announced that at
the expiration of his engagement Of one week. now

ced that IL the defendant had any tangible property

A YACHTING REVIVAL.

Those of our citizens who take lively IN
| terest in aquatic sports are to be eongratu-
| lated on the brilliant prospect OF enjoyment
| before them for the present yachting season.
| There was q time when the clubs OF this
CITY owned one of the finest sloop yacht
fleets to be found in America. 1t seems that
during the past few years more general in
| terest has been awakened In the noble sport
of yacht racing, and that Its more enthusi-
| astic patrons have fully succeeded In making
| # a pastime worthy of the cumulative pride Of
hundreds of our best citizens.
! The yachting season opened last year I'M
der very suspicious circumstances, and the
sport then promised, among all our summer
amusements, to occupy the most prominent
place In popular favor The exploits OF some
of The new boats In the fleet then kindled an
| enthusiasm which extended from beyond the
yacht club circles among thousands OF our
people, who were wont to discuss the respec-
tive merits Of this or that craft with an inter-
est akin to the pride Of ownership, or with q
| like zeal to that manifested by the hackers Of
| their specially favorite horses In four mile
| heat between some champions OF the turf.
| The renewed interest In yacht racing was,
| however. lost with the interest in almost
every other pleasure, after the appearance OF
the epidemic here.
But with the opening Of the present season
we are glad to witness the indications OF q
new yachting revival. The membership OF
| the Southern Yacht Club has been increased
to four hundred names, while wonderful in
terest and harmony Of purpose is manifested
| throtphoIt the organization.
The laurels won by one Of the favorite boats
last year seem to be In jeopardy now, as two
of the fastest sloop yachts of America have
lately gIided into the waters Of Lake Pont-
chartrain The last arrival is a craft which
shows the record of many victories, and, her
fame hath It,, that she has never sustained q
single defeat. Her coming here has caused a
sensation among yachting circles. But she
will have to struggle hard to keep her un-
blemished score, as there are other boats here
Of almost matchless speed; while skillfu
amateur navigators of the Gulf coast, from
Mobile to Galveston, are gathering to man
them for the grand regatta which comes OIL
on May 26. A day OF glorious sport fs theI
anticipated, and one which Is expected tt
| mark d HeR epoch in the history OF yachting
in the South.
We congratulate the members Of the South,
ern Yacht Club on their famous acquisitions
to the fleet OF racers, and our citizens gen
orally on the prospect of some pleasureabie
diversion. II we had our way we would wish
all the yachts that enter to win in this race
as well as In all others of the summer. But
we fear that we will eventually be seduced
into betting on the boat with comparatively
the best model and the biggest mainsail

The administration has pledged itself TO
Sherman. Hayes, SO the Enquirer declares,
finds that bis course In vetoing the army bill
has strengthened the stalwarts and helped to
prepare the presidential chair for Grant.
The administration will therefore make an
earnest effort to get rid Of the question Of
troops at the polls and call the attention OF
the country to the great questions Of finance.
III the latter are properly agtated, Hayes
thinks that 1t will land his friend Sherman In

The Democratic majority in Congress have
ancient presidents as well as modern in
stances to sustain their position concerning
the withholding Of supplies until the freedom
Of elections Is guaranteed. The great histo.
rian Macaulay says that "the policy which
the parliamentary assemblies Of Europe ought
TO have adopted was to take their stand
firmly on their constitutional right to give or
withhold money, and resolutely TO refuse
funds for the support of the armies, till ample
securities had been provided against despot-

Europe in former times failed to do, the Dem
ocratic majority in the present Congress Is
determined to do. They intend to stand upon
their constitutional rights and force the re-
peal Of obnoxious laws. In doing this they
will have q vast majority Of the people at
