politics can never make or unmake the

feeling, if cultivated, will break up the

Musical Event OF the Season.

After many futile effolts in recent years
It would seem at last that Richmond is in
a fair way to have one grand concert. un-
der the direction OF Theodore Thomas, and
bv his noble orchestra OF sixty musicians.
The manager OF that great and costly or
ganization was in Richmond yesterday,
and u number of prominent gentlemen
signed an agreement binding themselves
for ten tickets each. IL is expected to OBJ
tain fifty signatures to this paper. This
would guarantee half the risk incurred.
Mr.. Thomas's manager is willing to assume
the other half. II is proposed to fiji up the
Armory Hall with 1000 chairs, a stage,
and large sounding-5oard, ond make it
the scene of musical festival. Many Pc
tersburg citizens will attend, and also par
ties from other points. The date will be
Friday. December 7th. 1t Is desired that
all ladies aud gentlemen interested in
bringing this superb organization to Rich
mond will leave their names at Ramos x

The Lee MnnumCnf.

There will be no difficulty in getting the
Legislature to make proper provision for
the Virginia bonds held by the Lee llonu-
ment Associations, and TO that end suitable
bills should be prepared and presented.
There are three associations which col
lected funds to build in Richmond monu-
ment TO General Lee. Ii is necessary that
they should be unified. The consolidated
fund will then amount TO $4,000 or more,
according as the Legislature is liberal in
provision for the bonds held by the asso-
ciationS. The city Of Richmond can be
relied upon for what is equivalent to S10,-
coo more. With these sums the united
monument association may safely proceed
to secure plan and then to lay the corner
stone.
There has been so much delay in this
matter that the people who subscribed
their money for n monument will not
cheeriully hear OF any further excuse or
suggestion "to wait"
Get the bills ready; consolidate, pro-
cure plan, lay the corner-stone-go

Richmond and DanvilIe Railroad.
The visiting committee OF the Richmond
and Danville railrOad-Thomas ID. Neale,
ESQ, chairman-concluded their annual
inspection OF the system yesterday by a
trip over the York-River branch OF the
road. They express themselves highly
gratiiied with the condition Of the road,
and it is said will make very favorable
report TO the stockholders at their next an
nual meeting, showing that throughout its
entire length the system has greatly i'm
proved during the past twelve months.
Captain W. II. Green, the efficient and
courteous superintendent, accompanied
the committee yesterday, and rendered
their trip in every way comfortable and
pleasant. The extensive wharves at West
Point present busy scene with the inn
mcnse amount Of freight traffic that is con-
stantly going on there. They are being
used TO their utmost capacity, and the CON-
pany find they will have TO still further en-
large them TO meet the requirements OF the
increasing through southern traffic. Under
the management OF the general agent, Mr..
Adams, the most systematic precautions
have been taken to guard against fire, and
the company may feel almost secure from
anything like a repetition OF the losses they
have sustained in this way.
The cotton-cOmpress is a fine institution,
and is kept constantly at work preparing
