 ED. NEWS My attention having been late ly called to an article in your paper which criticised the concert of the ''Sherlocke Fam ily," have made inquiry as to whether or no the criticism was founded on the opinion of any number of the persons present, and learn that such was not the case. The people with whom have spoken concerning the concert-and they are many-expressed I themselves as thoroughly pleased with it, and many have spoken Of their wish to hear them again. 'R." may be a musician of great talent; am not, therefore my own judgment would be worth less, and I only found my opinion of the musical ability of the Sher. ! lockes on the statements of others. Among other criticisms it has been my privilege to see that of the "American Art Journal '' which on it's title page claims to be devoted to critical review of ''Music, art, literature and the music trades," and published in New York city. This journal, in touching on the debut of the Sherlocke family at Cooper h. stitute, says, "Ihey made their debut at Coop ca Institute on Thursday night in Mme. Michels' third musical and literary recital, with gratifying success" And again, "The Sherlocke family have sufficient talent to make them very popular" etc. With all due respect to ''R," cannot avoid the impress sion that perhaps the critic of this journal is as well up in music as the NEWS musical critic resident Tn Lakeyille. I make this statement simply because it seems to me no more than fair that party dependent on the,r reputation for their living should not have that reputation unfairly or unjustly assailed. do not imagine that R" intended wilfully to wrong these people, but thlnk that it was thoughtlessly done, and suggest that in fu- ture when attempting to give the sentiment of the public, more care should be taken to ascertain that sentiment. Finally let me ad- wise you, MT. Editor, if opportunity be yours and the people generally who have read "R's." statement and mine. to go and hear the Sherlockes, and judge between us.

Fighting ovor a Cotton Claim.

r. w. Baldwin, as solicitor for Mr. Wood
ward, William II. Baldwin, jr., and others,
yesterday obtained n restraining order against
Gilbert Moyor TO prevent his transferring or
disposing of a treasury draft dated July 81,
1880, for 81, 1920. The bill sets forth that
during the year 1870 , aud prior thereto,
the plaintiffs were doing business in Baltimore,
Nd, under the firm name of Woodward, Bald :
win & Co., buying and selling cotton. Prior
TO the year 1863 they employed Emit Meyer
and sent him to tho city of Memphis, Tenn,
as their agent, to purchase cotton, to be sent
TO Baltimore. He did purchase large guam
tity Of cotton, aud paid large sums of money
to the United States rs taxes. In 1864 Meyer
formed copartnership with the plaintiffs, for
the purpose Of buying and selling dry goods
and raw cotton in the city of Memphis.
They charge that portion Of the taxes was
illegally paid, and Emit Meyer filed claim
against the government prior TO the year 1870
asking that tho amount be refunded, and
placed tho claim in the hands of Gilbert
Meyer of this District for collection. The
claim has been allowed, and draft for tho
payment thereof LAS boon issued aud delivered
to Mcgcr. The plaintiffs further charge that
Meyer died in the year 1875, that all tho cot
ton purchased by him WAS for the COM
plainants, that the illegal tax was paid from
their funds, and upon settlement of the ac-
counts Meyer was found indebted to them,
aud which has never been satisfied. They
therefore charge that this draft equitably be.
