Tile ROTRRON SPIRIT

Doubtless The frankfort Ny.) Teoman cx-
presses the average sentiment OF Southern
Democracy in the remark that it Is preferable
that no Southern man should find his way to
the new Cabinet. The reasons given are, first.
that there Is no Southern Republican fitted
for the place and, second, that owing to
the lack of material in his own party,
General Garfield would feel compelled TO
clay violent hands upon some Democrat who
Knight be weak enough to make no resist
"ance" The YeOmdn says it has known of
such cases." and I" felt the ill effects upon our
Southern society,"" 1t is not believed that any
likelihood exists of General Garfeds ie-
peating the experiment of appointing a
Southern Democrat to his Cabinet. Even
the very moderate manifestation of solicitude
on that score in the above extract is unncccs-
sary. There are some experiments in politics
that never need to be repeated. And that not
SO much because they were Unsuccessful
as because of their perfect success in
demonstrating that it does not pay to
experiment any further in that direction.
That kind of an experiment was per-
formed ill the appointment of Judge Key.

| citation and kindness. 1t was not received az
such with cordial reciprocity and good feeling,
but was repealed with indignation a. an ATTEMPT
at proselytHing and a base effort to dclnoralize
the Southern Democracy.
The net result of this enterprise would seem
| TO be, upon tho face of it, the capture of one
| Democrat or "Old Line Whign and nothing
more. But q great deal more was ac-
complished in fact. That appointment
and the general tenor of the Southern
! policy brought out, in the manner of
their reception by those to whom these
friendly advances were made, some facts
of exceeding Importance to the Amer
lean people. They worked like the spear
of Ithuricl, revealing, in the party that
had been so bitterly complaining that It's
earnest desire for fraternal union was not met

uUSIO AND THE DRAMA.
THE PHILHARMONIC CLUB.


The fourth concert Of the present season of the
New-York Philharmonic Club was given at Chicken
ing Hall last night. The programme was as follows:
Y Yqo in u sharp Ia D." op Xaver scGarwcnEs
Quartet. in F. op. Al. Me- 2..........-..schumann
The pleasure which comes from hearing fine pro-
gramme of chamber music, performed in way that
gives at least large measure of satisfaction, was
enjoyed by at least 800 people on this occasion.
Chamber music had ITS origin in the desire to provide
pleasure for small and couaenialcirce, and though
its sphere has been widened since Haydn gave it
high artistic worth and dignity. its exclusveness
has not been taken away. Therefore the require
ments for its thorough appreciation differ from
those of other forms of musical entertainment. The
room should be small, the listeners lovers Of the
FORM the performers earnest artists. Two OF these
requirements at least. seemed to be met at the con-
cert last night. tor tn musicians did their work
with manifest love and sincerity. and the listeners
gave them the encouragement Of intelligent and
atiectionate appreciation.
The Mozart lartet and the Schumann piece no.
of the set of three dedicated by the to IBIS

welcomed az old friends The trio, in winch Mr..
Arnold and Mr. Werner had the assist ance of Richard

the PLAYERS were sufficient explanation ana excuse.

Mr. Henry Bergh, who ID never weary IN
well-doiug, elsewhere communicates to the
public the gratifying information that there
exists in this city an apparent college OF
dramatic art, which is organized for the
humane purpose of keeping stage-struck young
ladies off the boards. The condition OF the
local stage at this time is not such as to pre-
cude the possibility that the officers OF this
excellent institution may have, now and then
unfortunately relaxed their vigilance and al
lowed some of their pupils to escape from
their grasp, and bolt into the eye of The long
suffering public. But the mere fact that such
an fundamentally exists. and an earnest BODY
of men are actually engaged, with such ingenuity
anu conscientious strength of purpose as have
been given them, in Tending of young anna
teur actresses from the public attempt to dis
play talents which have not been given Them
is of itself encouraging. and lghtens some of
the foreboding with which the theatre-golng
man regards the future. Mr.. Bergh is probably
too modest in suggesting, as he does, that the
play which he has written, and which Is to be
acted in public by the students of this benev-
olent institution, is calculated to further its
ayowed and humane object of keeping worthy

Bonds Ordered Purchased.

NEW YORK, Feb. A.-The Post says: The
drain OF money from bank reserves in the
Treasury, where il will remain until paid out for
notes of banks giving up their circulation, has
serious effect on the money markets of the cOun-
try. unless the Treasury promptly releases the
surplus revenues. which now amount to about
Sl6,000 600. There are two ways for the Secretary
to do this First. by general purchase of bonds
Tor the sinking fund. and, second. TO give notice
that he will prepay SIS, eco of the IS which
have been called in for redemption on the Dist
day OF May. This latter mode Of relief the Secre-
tary has decided upon, the following dispatch
having been received by General Hillhouse of
the Sub-Treasnry, a little before noon.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. "A, 1881.
Assistant Treasurer, United states New York.
The Department will redeem bonds embraced
within the one hundred and first call upon their
with interest to the close OF presentations
JOIS SHERMAN, Secretary.
The per cent bonds which will be paid BY the
above order, are selling in the market at 81 0OL@
OGts. The Treasury VIII pay par for them and
accrued interest 10 date of presentation. This
accrued interest amounts to O.37. The price
million OF these bonds are now pledged
at Washington to secure bank note circulation
and il the hanks choose they can be presented
and the meney obtained for them at once The
only officially which will now be found will be
to get hold of these called bonds The effect OF
the news that the Treasury had come To the res
cue was electrical in the stock market. The mar
ket opened in a condition OF semi panic, and dur
ing the first hour and half prices fell ! TO per
cent. The change on the news noted was as sud
den as can be imagined. apd prices went back
like rubber strap which had been stretched and
one end suddenly released. The recovery ranged
from one to six points. and where there was
like "bull panic" there was sudden
change TO "bear panic
