MamneschOr.

We are glad to announce that
Prof. Meininger has already organ
ICED his Manneschor and that prac-
Using will commence as soon as the
music is procured. This is simply
an arrangement for practising cho-
rus singing with male voices only,
1t is a good arrangement male
singers have usually less knowledge
of music than lady vocalists, and it
is well, therefore, that they should
have some separate practise, if they
purpose ultimately singing in con-
cert with the other sex, which ought
to be their object, for we hold with
the Bible that it is not good for man
to be alone-Or woman either-in
music any more than i'm the more
serious affairs of life. For all that.
they get along better together after
a little separate practise.
The class already numbers thirty,
though the list has only been open
two or three days.

Tnc ItaIian ana Reggie Contract.

Cincinnati Tobacco Journal.
Contrary to the expectations of
MANY the whole italian contract
was awarded on Saturday, June 3,
and. the probabilities are, at low
prices. The contract for $4,000, 600
kilos, or about 10000 hogsheads of
Kentucky tobacco of the crops of
1879 and 1878, and the successful bid
der was Matthias, whose New York
agent is the Aberheim firm.s The
type quantities are is per cent. tirst
grade. so per cent. second grade and
"a per cent. third grade, One-half
is TO be delivered between Septem-
Der and November l, 1880, and the
residue in FEBRUARY and March. 1t
is supposed that the Matthias inter
est controls abaut 1000 hOgsheads at
present, but it is obvious that there
must be some lively scratching
around to fill the contract at the
times and with the grades specified:
The contracting firm, in going short
of the market to the extent of 1000
hogshead of styles which are proDa-
bly selling at S. to 50 at present, and
in limited supply, have displayed
considerable courage which IS the
moreconspicuous as they preferred
to take the whole contract instead
OF only part. The contract was
devisible into allotments of tenths.

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
The civil Service Plank.

Our readers will think that we
ought, by this time, to have some
thing to say about the platform
adopted by the republicans at Chi
cagO. 1t is an unsavOry task to
analyze it, and we take it in INSTALL
ments. To do Justice to the whole
of that stupendOus mass of preten-
tious hypocrisy in one paper, would
be too much for the patience of the
most persevering reader, to say
nothing of the power of endurance
of the editor.
SO we will take it in installments,
and, as a specimen brick, by which
the style of the house may he esti-
mated, we will begin this week on
the civil service plank of that
precious piece Of radical carpentry.
Here it is;

THE Illinois delegates to Cincin-
natl are reported by the Chicago
Tribune, after personal interviews,
to stand as follows
Twenty-three delegates favor Sey-
mOur either as first or second choice;
ten favor Davis; nine favor Morri-
son eight favor Tilden while
Palmer has FIVE, and Hendricks and
English two each. The instructions
to vote as unit will not at all affect
the personal preferences of these
delegates. 1t is well understood
that should Tilden decline and Sey-
mOur not be nominated by acclama-
ton, the delegates will not observe
unit Instruction.

CoNaREss adiourned ON Wednes.

CONGRESS adjourned on Wednes-
day, after a months fruitless strug-
gle between the democrats, who
desired to effect necessary legisla-
ton, and the republicans, who inter
posed every obstacle to prevent it.
The assistant marshal bill, which
could not be resisted in congress,
was vetoed by the president. Bills
for regulating the electoral count
and for modifying the tariff were
defeated by filibustering. So the
radicals retain in their hands all
that could be retained for promoting
fraud in elections, and go before
the nation with that for their re-
cord. 1t is we'll that the unavail-
ing struggle has ceased in congress,
to be renewed before the people.

WE call attention to the cards of
Messrs. w. A. Settle and G. Wenz-
Ter. We were not unpF0mred for
hearing of an advance in ice, as all
the northern papers were predicting
an ice famine at the close of last
winter. We have no doubt that
the step taken by Mr.. Settle is one
that he was compelled by circum-
stances to take.

WE cut the following from the
Tobacco Leaf. 1t means, in plain
English, that if Mr.. TiIden is not
nominated he and his friends will
work against the democratic party
and play into the hands of the re-
publicans. This has been intimat-
ed, in a hundred different ways, for
many day from that quarter, and
it is the one consideration that has
turned us against him. No party
can have either it's own respect, or
that of the nation, which submits
to the dictatiOn of these rule or ruin
candidates. In that respect there is
no difference between Mr.. Tilden
and John Kelly, except that Tilden
is a candidate for the presidency
and Kelly is not. There would be
just as much reason in calling upon
the party to nominate John Kelly,
for fear he should work against it,
as to do the same for Mr.. Tilden:
1t is equally clear that if Mr.. Tilden's
nomination will not heal the breech, Mr..
Bayard nor any other candidate champion
ed by John Kelly as a com promise man,
can succeed. MIR. Tilden and his New York
friends, who have stood by him in working
so much for the country and party, will not
abandon the principles for eXpediency. Mr..
Tilden and the New York democracy can
no more be ignored by the convention, than
can John Kelly. True to the principle they
have sustained, they cannot, in self-reSpect,
abandon it to the enemy. In other words,
the democracy cannot carry New York
without Mr.. Tilden's help. If his aggress-
tics have become "a thing of scorn to the
democracy, then it cannot ask for, nor ex-
pect Mr.. Tlden's help. In other words, the
democracy may abandon these great lead
ing principles, but Mr.. Tilden cannot.
