ASTORIA SUBSCRIPTION CONCERT.

The second concert OF the SUBS ,riptiOn series al
the Astoria which was given last evening. was
less brilliant occasion the eye, than the rst
II was more numerousy attended. and the
floor OF the ballroom fully occupied. 10 the
ear however Il neither so brilliant nor so en-
ioyable as the first concert. Ii was made notable
however by the participation OF Messrs. fsaye
and Pugno the latter making his first appearance
in this country a pianist. Mr.. Ysaye played the
Saint-Saans concerto In which he first disclosed
his remarkable gifts as violinist to this com
munity two years ago. The fire and victorious
sweep Of that performance. its potent and vitaliZ
ing qualities that seemed 10 set aglow the con-
cer,o that has really little OF the divine spark
in f. are we'll remembered. There was much OF
them reprod iced last evening out there was Also
not a little that was lacking. IL was not per-
formance that altogether did credit 10 the great
artist His reputation, for instance was never
made nor helped by playing so soveniy rs that
which he d,snlaved in some OF the passage-Work OF
tho 6rs+ and last movements. There was another
drawback r. the performance. in that the orcnes-
trail accompaniment was at times ha'''hs' anu

SELECTIONS FROM THE NAIL
EMERsoNs WORK FOR FREEDOM

HIS SPLENDID EuLoGy on SAMUEL. HoAR AID
HIS HEROIC ERRAND To CHARLESTON.
To the + litor OF The Tribune
Sir: In his complete vndcation of Emerson
in to-days Tribune for which every scholar
must thank him) Senator Hoars modesty pre-
vented him from even alluding to one OF the
most signal proofs Of the vigilant and patriotic
interest which the Sage Of Concord took in the
great politics and the great politicians OF his
epoch-makng day. l allude to that masterpiece
Of discriminating and inspiring eulogy his death
notice of the illustrious herald Of freedom, the
father Of the present Senator Hoar, Samuei
Hoar. 1t was printed in The Atlantic Month
ly" about November. 1859, think in the FIRST
vigor of the manly Ash, which the magazine
was making for liberty, while yet most North
err publications were dumb dogs before the
slave power. though The Tribune then. no more
than now, bowed its knee that thrift might fol-
low fawning."
1t might be remembered that South Carolina
in her arrogance had seized and cast into COM
mon Jail. with an insult and oppression, on the
false pretence that he was a slave, a free col
ored citizen OF Massachusetts. who had gone into
Charleston on lawful business.
Other negotiations having failed, Massacnu-
setts. then ever. watchful Of the rights OF her
citizens and res0ute 10 maintain them. calleu
upon Samuel Hoar. an aged and eminent law
yer. 10 proceed 10 Charleston as her agent, and
by all legal means endeavor to secure the re-
lease Of the innocent prisoner 1t was no COM
mon errand, and demanded common man
For South Carolina. not only by her moi and
her demagogues and her first citizens, but also
by her constituted authorities insisted upon
holding the prisoner. and threatened dire VEN
geance upon any who should so much az attempt
his release And in those days South Carolina
mobs were sudden and fierce her authorities
were slow. and supine. and blind, and her courts
were deaf and dumb In the cause OF liberty.
But the hour and the man met. Samuel Hoar,
at the risk of his lberty-nay, at the imminent,
deadly peril Of his ife-obeyed the call OF his
state and demanded the release OF the inno-
cent victim in Charleston itself-one man
against a state: one man against all the citizens
Of the State In their chief city. His errand
failed. but his deed lived. and will live while
freedom lasts or liberty has lovers.
All this and how much more, and how much
better. Emerson rehearsed in his matchless eu-
logy upon the hero 1t glows like fire, and
shines like a flame. TO vindicate at once the
transcendent genius and the all-daring patriot
ism OF the seer and the poet whose lines i'm

TILITY To Mr. Low

TlLITY TO Mr.. Low.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 70 me II does not explain at all; it simply
makes more clear to my mind the outlines OF an In
tensey selfish and hypocritcal personality. Mr
Platt cannot even comprehend Seth Low, no more
than darkness comprehend light. To Brooklyn
Republicans II is the height Of absurdity for man
like Platt to attack like Seth Low with the
expectation Of convincing them that he is right!
lie makes however, one important admission
He preferred Democratic triumph TO seeing Seth
Low In the chair of Mayor Thisrs his statement
Now let him solace himself with this declaration
from lifelong Republican: So long as there Is a
Democratic Mayor this great city. so long Will
one hundred thousand Republicans In II vote IN
State and municipal contests against every candi-
date wearing the collar of Thomas c. Plat: II the
Republicans want victory in thl; State let them re-
tire this incompetent leader who openly declares
tina. he has wrought this desolation which has
come upon U.s.
AS sure as there s sun In the heavens. so surely
will everything political in this city In the future
that bears the touch OF Thomas c. Patt be smitten
