SenrxorreLy, Fob, 18.—Tho Sonate Rallroad ‘Committoo met this aftornoon, to consider the Governor's mosssgo nominating tho Railroad and Warehouso Commissionors. Mr. Donshue was in the chalr, and the full Committeo prosent. The mossago wos read. Mr. Vorls moved not to cononr in the nominations, 1Mr. Dow moved to divide thg quostion, nnd lot ench tub siand on Ita own bottom. Mr, Voria spoke againat con- firmation on behalf of ninc-tonthsof his diatrict. The poople wore opposed to confirmation. Ho know it. Mr. Youngblood thought tho action of the Senato should bo cosxtensive with the sotion of tho Governor, and thoy had no right, under the law, to ddoide the quostion, Mr. Whit- ing said tho Committoo should bo hnrmonious. They had & harmonions conntlmoxfiy who be- 1loved them indopondont of party. ‘Llioy should report back without rocommendation and leave it to tho Senate, That would bo thomost ro- spootful thing to do. Ho was froo to say ho ‘wag in favor of rn{uufln tho nominations, Mr. “Yoris bolinved if. his motion provailod tho Gov- rernor would withdraw tho nomes and send in o mowsot. Mr, Henry inquired what ground the gontloman had for saying the pooplo woro 1‘\’1‘; .posed to the nomineca of the Goveraar. . ‘-Eoflu drow tho conclusion from iho potitions gont in, and from conversation with his constitu-~ exsta. Ono of tho nomincos, ho bolieved, was ther bost man in- tho Stato for the placo. T&qfloaum was taken upon dividing the vota orf tho nominoes, and it wa3 carried. RMr, Whiting movod to take up Mr. Robinson first, Ar. Bonry belicyed ho roprosonted a larger farming community than auy man in tho Bonato, and would be guidad by the voico of his con- tituents. Ho had not hoard of a single farmor opposed to Mr, Robinson. ‘- Thoy wors 10 favor of . Thoy had ot hesrd much of Mosara.. Stillwell and McOros, but they had known Br. Tobinson ail his 1ifo, and he had a constiluency of 04000 standlog ot his bnok in favor of and demanding Robin- son, Ho had scon malignant aspersions in some papers sgainst” Robinson which ho knew to bo unfmn and, whon ho saw the samo pu%t}rs .denouncing Stillyoll as a raflrond man and Mo- ‘Cren 88 o warohouse man, he doubted the truth .of the statomonts, and ho could not seo o singlo -walid objoction to any of tho nominsos, Thoy .ghould lay aside projudicos, and vote for men ‘£imply on their qualifications, Thore was s par- doct furore of oxcitoment sweeping over tho «ounry, and ho was sorry todeo mon in high places, whose names ho could not mention, ‘urging their constituents to_ tear up the rail- :roada. Mr, Robinson waa choson as the first ‘yictim $0 be immolated on tho altar. Was ‘hoe not & farmor? He had most of ‘his intercst ip_ land, He thirty "five tons of hay and othor produco. Mo could %;-b ship becauso of high tariffs on_railroads. Rom the orrtire district in which he lived not & singlo volco hod como againat these mon, al- though he had vwritton to ascortain their viows, Govomor Bevoridge know moro of tho men he ointod than onteldars, who had no means of Judging. Ho had 200 Jotbers from hisdistrictin- doraing the nominecs. . N Br, Whiting nuid It Wa'g 06 & QUORLION 88 to swhat theso mon had not dono, bnt what thoyl: dono. What racord bad thess mon mado in tho railroadzquestion? Ho had_ nothing ogainst the men personally. Ho was willing they should be Ponitentisry Commissioners or Notaries Publio, but thoy waro not tho men tho paoplo wanted to oxecuto tho law against rail- o, Thoy wore chosen simply for Y‘ouziunl rensons, Tho rpilrond question was tho now wine, and thoy should not put new wine into old ‘bottles, beosuso it would be bad for the bottles, ‘M. Robinson was not a soldior in tho causo, I +vas gaid ho did not understand the law or follow 2he suit now in progress. They wantod a man vho was o goldier in tho causo, Mr. Yagor eaid he would like to kmow who <hat was, Mr. Whiting did not ssy. - 2Mr, Youngbloodunderstood that Robinson was wiswyor, o nico young man, but hoknowno amoro of railronds than he (Youngblood). There ere twenty Republicans in Southorn Iiinois ~who werc better mon, Ho was chosen because he was an active politiclan, He might bo o far- mex, ‘but ho know he was’ now trying to gota & ratlroad bujlf to his own town, The voto to rejoot Mr. Robinson prevailed—9 to 5, asfollows : Yeu—Smlgrd.k ngtmx,mflt:rgf. ]NIchnuan, Voris, 1 urke, Gommings, Steele.

An attompt to ndjourn was beaton. Mr, Sanford moved that the Chairman be in- «structod to recommend that tho Senato adviso and consent to the confirmation of DcCren, sud ‘that it do not advise and _consent to the nomina- tions of Btillwoll and Rtobinson, The (;:muon provailed, ahd tho meoting ad- ourned. : b night beforo tho battle is boing spent canvassing the situation eud speculating upon: the dsue E)-morrmv.‘ Tho action of tho Rail- road Committoe justifies the praphecy of some that the entire Board il bo confirmed, except Biillvoll aud Robinson, If the samo paoportion of voton arocast in the Bendto as in the Com- mitteo thia oSternoon, McOren will go throug h ensily; but thora £8 no tolling what will bo the Tosult of tho figuriug botweon now and tho time of voting.

L —_——— AMUSEMENTS, THE BECOND THOMAH CONGERT, Mr, Thomas aud his musfoal retinue must havo folt ns though they had gona into a now oity to givo thoir socond * Btar ™ concert, They found o ball, in the Union Park Church, ns ad- mirablo in nll its arrangomonta a3 if it had beon built for their purposo, aud another lnrgo sudionco composed of outirely differont people, who could claim common cltizonship, howover, in tholr manifost apprecintion of good musie, If Mr. Thomns: wns surprised at finding anothor 1largo olty in & quarter which ho mnot yot ponotrated, tho poo- ple of tho West Division must have folt themsclves perticularly complimontod by tho solection of ono of the most classical programmos that haa yob boon prosonted in Chi- ongo. If thoy set storo by a musical roputation, thoy ean senrcoly havo ovorlooked this, The concert opened with the introduction to tho third’ nct of “Moedos,” by Cherubinl, The muslo is of that description to recall the oldon timos of classical soirecs, which we rosd about in tho history of court lifo, and which wo ocon- sionally soo piotured In old ongravings. Tho style iz dramatio, but iis offects aro obtained according to tho Iaw of climax, worked up on strings and roods, and withibut the masslvonoss of tho modern dramatio school. In immodinte contrast with the lattor, it is rathor to bo admired for what appoars now ns uniquoe qualities than for any striking brilliancy, It 1aoks tho fascination of gonius which Beothovdn oxorts, and which waa to bo folt in tho succeed- ing number of the {evening, tho—adagio and acherzo from tho Fourth Bymphony. Itisintho Boothovon symphonies, aftor all, that tho most oxquisite playing is hoard from Thomss' 'band, for it ia with this music that its loader is in fall porsonal accord. . Tho Beethoven solec- tions of Inat evoning aro fiot o familiar hero as gome others, but thoir graco and beauty muat hovo improgsed many minds that havo faroto fore folt & blank at the mention of tho old mas- tor's name, Sohumann's ** Manfred” ovorturo was tho noxt orchostral picco, with tho poculinr sadness and sombroness suited to its theme, and 80 woll oxpressed by the composor. Tho geloctions from Wagner's ¢ TFlying Duteh- man"” wore partioularly intorcsting to thoso who happened to know the cir- cumstoncos nndor which the music of this opera was writton. It waa in Paris, whoro Wagnor, thon obsoure and impecunious, had beon oking out an irksome existonce by copying musie. Ho had skatohed the plan of tio & i‘lv—- ing Dutchman," and submitted it to the Director of tho Opera, The plan suited, but tho com- poser was unknown ; 8o the subject was turned ovor to a popular composer of the day. When ‘Wagner eard of this, be robelled, stopped copying music, resumed com- posing for the firet Himo_ in g:m, sot Limself to work at tho *Flying utchman,” comploted the opors, flow away to Gormany, and there succeeded in having it pro- duced firat. The namoe of tho other mau is for- Eotwn. Tho music—so much of it ns was eard lnst night—has tho originality of Wagner, but is devold of the bold effosts which he pro- duced lator, and has some of tho crudonoss of o pon that had long beon idlo. - Tho soles of the evoning wore & Chopin con- cerio in T minor, with I«flhclla and allegro vivaco movemonts, played by Mchlig ; Mondelssohn's “Venotian Gondolior,' sung by Mr, Osgaod ; ud & *Bouvenir do Huydn," o violin fantasy by Loonnrd, which M, Bernhiard Listemann playod with his customary thoroughmess. The popu- larity of 'i:lano- loying was again illustrated by the domand of an encore from MNiss Molilig. Tho lady cortainly desorved the complimont for tho admirable manner in which sho executed tho concerto. It wna her plnylnfi, more than tho thomo itself, that rondered tho first moveniont attrastivo. Sl it is rather romarkable that a piano golo should seoure 80 much enthusiasm ‘in the facoof a wholo orchestra. In responso to tho encore Miga Moblg playod on impron in by chubort, which was & charming aonq of sontimont with~ out words, According to 1us habit, Mr. Thomas dismisaod tho audionce in o good humor with o Btranes waltz and tho protty overturo to * Mig- non. The matines which is to bo given to-day in the Union Park Oburch will offer o good sclection of ll‘gm and pleasant musio, including the protty air and tte by Bach; tho ‘‘Amaryllis” of Louls . Schubert’s’ “Hungarian March,” ond the overture to “A Night in Graunds.” Mohlig and Mr. Osgood appear, and Mr. Oharles Hemmann p]nys & golo on the violoncollo. To-night's - programme is remarkable ng an exact repotition of the very firet concert given by Mr, Thomns in old Farwell ‘Hall. Wo pro- dict that it will draw out . at lonst ton times ag many peoplo 28 upon tho occasion of its firat flrnannlmon, when the Chicago people did not now what they wero missing by staying away.

Fackeltanz, No. 1, In AGADEA Tha play of “ John Garth” was prosented 1ast winter for tho first timo in Chicago, It is ono of the bost that Mr. Brougliam, who is o oninl gentlemon, and an ingenious playwright, a8 given to the world. Tho charnctors aro dis- tinctly outlined, tho movement is likely, the sit- ations aro good, and the intarcst culminates at the mnutud placos, All that it wants for its suc- cosaful reprosentation is good scenie illustration and compatont persons to fill the principal and subordinato parts. As played at tho Academy of Muslo Inat evening it was not entirely lacking in these ossontinl particulars, Miss Annio Firmin, who comes to us for the first timo thig sonson with tho prestige of n corlain degreo of success on the Pacific slope, played Hester Deer- ham. The character is a Btrong ono, and ro- ;}“‘t“ vigorous and decided handling. Miss irmin _soems to have for it somo of tho requisite qualifications, & good porson, & graceful manner, au exprossive faco, o plensant, nlflxonfih not rosonnnt voleo, and considorable intonsity in tolling places.

Blio pleased withont _ entircly satistying, BSho suuported principally by Mr, Jnck, who playod Joln Garlh, and Mr. J. A, Horno as Paulo Berettl. DMr. Jack is s most_caroful and consciontious actor, cool, colm, colleated, thoroughly familiar with hia businoss, and baving the power to render him- solt improssive, as_much porhaps becanso of his flno stature andimperturbablo manner ag” by any emotional or magnetic power. Ho ig n good notor without lnylni,' claim to fimntunnu, or oven to romarksble ability. Mr, Horno was not ospecinlly good as the low villain Berelli, but in the moro elegant and humorous scones ho oxcited considerablo laughtor, in whick thoso npon tho stago with him could not forbearto participate. ~ Miss Ada Gilman lacked the force necossary to the portrayal of so fiua and individual a ‘role ns that of Alinnfe Garth. or good looks bacame tho picco and tho situa- tion—that waa all, Mr, Wobator wag lacku- dalgfenl, The gubordinato parts wore not so well dono ns to roquiro oritical comment, Tho sotting of the play was good, althougl wo think - the managoment” might spare tho publio tho too frequent ropotitions of cortain plecos of gconory.
