THE CONCERT concert on Fri
hay evening last, by amateurs of this city.
under the direction of Mrs. G. Y. Hooper,
was "A complete success so far as the partic-
pants were concerned, but owing to bad
weather there was not very large audience
ia Attendance. The Overture was rendered
superbly by the Jackson Silver Cornet
Band. There is not a superior band in the
State to this, and Jackson may well be
proud of it. The young gentlemen who
compose it deserve great credit for the
high state Of excellence TO which they have
attained by constant practice and hard
study. "The Grand GalOp de Concert" by
Mr.. and Miss Bloom, I'll Trarantore," by
Mr. Bloom, Midsummer Nights Dream"
bv Miss Bloom, and LA Cracovieorue," by
Miss Cooper-all upon the piano-were very
finely rendered and were much appreciated
by the audience as manifested by frequent
applause. Mrs Hooper's rendition of "Ah!
I've Sighed to Rest Me-" Lost Rose OF
sumner" "Caviliue," and 81 Love NV
Love-" but added new iaurels to those
already won by her superb voice. The
sioux Chiefs Daughter" aud "Mother and
Poet" a, read by Miss CoorPender, in pathos
of voice and impressivencss of style. were
worthy Of a professional elocutionist. The
Cornet Solo, by Mr.. 1. Schwartz, and PRO

and Juljenue, did credit not only to
themselves but also to the band OF which
they are members, My Grandfather's

The foregoing communication from
Hon. c. Z. Hooker, is published with
great pleasure. Our immediate distin-
guished Representative is entirely mis-
taken if he supposes that The CLARION
was unaware of his introduction of bill
in regard to the above subject. cit has
been our pleasure to forward him the"
CLARION regularly, and if he had mo
ticed" the Daily issue of February 18th,
1878, ID page, 1st editorial column, he
"would have observed" that the fact was
conspicuously announced in the paper
of that date His letter attests the
profound interest we have displayed in
the subject and we could not have for
gotten a matter in reference to which we
had taken so much pains to enlighten
the public, our vigilant Representative
included. Certainly our language in
The CLARION of the 1st of January,
instant, ought not have implied to our
distinguished Representative and other
attentive readers, that a measure of the
kind had not been introduced. On the
contrary, we said that ''the passage of
'some such bill would supply much
needed want of the federal government,
&c" 1t was a reminder of the impor-
lance of passing the measure, and we
respectfully submit to our able Repre-
sentative that it was a timely reminder.
He saws the bill was introduced on the
llth Of February, 1878. Nearly year
had passed and nothing had been done.
We had not seen the subject even so
much as mentioned subsequently in the
Congressional Record" which our oblig-
irg representative had kindly sent us
Though it may have been) and we
ventured to think that an allusion to a
matter Of so much Importance to the
federal government in the despatch of
its business, and to our citizens locally,
would not be amiss. The present session
was fast running out. 1t will expire on
the 4th of March. The next Con
gress will not meet until De
cember +; making nearly two years
from the time of its introduction, and
We submit, that life is too short and
the age We live in is too progressive to
stand upon the order of doing an impor-
tant thing in that way. As to the details
of the bill: far be it from us to claim for
the mere form suggested by us, "merits'
superior to those of the one introduced
by our distinguished Representative.
Any such presumption is precluded by our
language, for we said 'tsome such biz
as that; and certainly the one which has
been sleeping since its introduction BY
our able Representative on the 18th OF
February, 1878, is embraced in the terms
only we think if it be the judgement OF
Congress that the government should
erect building in Jackson for the trans
action of its business, it will not make
the donation of spot of ground on
which to construct it, sine qua non:
but that is minor point. The ground
will be donated if necessary. What We
are urging is the passage" of bill to
construct the building, and making the
necessary appropriation. Our worthy
Representative, remembering that in g
few weeks the curtain will drop forever
upon the 45th Congress. will concur with
US that
II il were done, when It's done,
II were well, il were done Quickly.
