Tho spncious auditorinm was packed to overflowing, ovon the alsles and every inch of standing-room boing oc- cupled, and hundreds had to go awsy unablo to got in, This brilliant audienco, numbering 1,600 pooplo, was gathorod togother to Lear Boothoven's Fifth SBymphony and Behu- monw's “ Paradiso snd the Por,” and his fact of itself speaks volumes ifor the musical {nste of Chicago—tunt so vast sn audionco sbould turn out to lsten to the works of two such mesters, and that it should havo grooted g0 enthusinstically ‘musio 18 govere &8 that contained in Schumsun's work.

Undor such pircumstances, sud cspecially covsidering the Taot that the Club could have but ono rohenreal with tho orchestrs, and that its conductor was therefora laboring under unusual responsibility, its performance wns slmply remarkable, and gives ovidonco of tho suporior disoipline and JArill which this organization, young s it is, hns already reached. The difileultics of this work have always oper- stod ngninst its porformauce, and it bas beon given but fow timos sinco it was written. In this country it hns never been given boforo in public, 8o that the crodit of its flist performanca hore balongs to the Apollo Club. As it is unfa- miliar, s sketeh of the musio will intoreating : Schumaun was s student of great literary as woll ae musical ability, and, boing constantly on the lookout for somo now_at-form, was stiracl- ©d by tho logend of tho Po 0 told in * Lalla Taokh,” inakmno as it combined tho Christinn iden of ropentanco with tho Oriantal idoa of Taradiso, and thus furnished hiny & wido ecopo Tor hie genius. Tho work opens with a hort - etrumental introduction which lends into o quasi-recitative for alto ‘(* One Norn at Qate of Eden ™). oftor which follows a boau- tiful arin for the Peri (“How Blest Hoom to Mo"), oxpressing tho longing for that Paradisofrom which sho had Leeu bavished.

The bill reported by tho Post-Offico Commit- teo in vagard {o tho distribution of publio doeu- ments, come up as s apecial ordor, and Mr, ‘WOODFORD ratsod & question of considerntion, romarking that ho wanted action on the subject of tho 944,000,000 resorves, and that it was the question of public printiug'and franking on tho one side, and National finances on tho other. Tho Houso decidod by s vory docided majority to proceed with the bill to provide for the distri- bution of public documents printed by suthority of Congress, and of soods furnished by tho Ag- ricultural Dopartment ; for tho froe oxcharige of newspapers botwoon publishers, nnd for tho fras trensmission of weokly newspapors by mail with- in tho county whoro Q-mhliuhed. Mr, HALE SN. .) asked Mr. Packor, who reportod the bill, to allow him to offer a substi- tuto, simply ropealing the law which abolished tho franking priviloge. Mr, PACKER declined, Mr. GARFIELD raigeda point of order wheth- er the bill should not bo first considered in Com- mitteo of the Whole, for it cortainly involved tho expenditure of mouey, T'he SPEAKER replied that the point would have baon gaod lied not tha Iouse, by & suspen- gion of tho rules, ovorruled that point. Mr. PACKER wont on to spesk in support of the bill. o stated that thore weranow intho document-rooms of tho House and Senate some 206,000 volumes of valuablo public documonts, folded and ready for transportation, besides pemphlots, Postage on these booka and docu-~ monts would be about $122,060, but if not dis- tributed freo through the mails they would bo i wont by oxpress. Tho bill only applied to Congreys the ssme _ priuciple =~ undor whicl thoe vorious Executivo dopart- wonts woro now allowed for postage by .lieving special stamps furnishod them, snd which were furnished up to the 8th of Soptom- ber, 1878, to the nomiunl valuo of $1,180,478, . In tho Treasury Dopartment those epecial stamps wore furniehod to 678 persons all over the country, and he thought it safo to say that thay were used by ton times that number of per- | sona. Mr, HUBLBUT asked Mr. Packer whether iliero had been any diminution In the exponso of trunsporting tho mails since tho abolition of the franking priviloge. Mr. PACKER sai ho bolioved not. Mr. KASSON oxplained that no new contraots for tho trausportation of the mails hnd been made sinco that timo, Mr, PACKER stnted that thecost of mail trans- portation for tho year preceding the abolition of fho franking privilogo was nonrly $2,000,000 loss than the estimatod oxponses for tho current year, and nearly 22,000,000 loes than tho esti- maotes furnished for tho fiseal yonr. Bomo of that increaso waa attributablo to tho oxtension of postal ronds, but it was clear that nothing hgdxll)ean saved by tho abolition of the franking privilego. Mr. CANNON, momber of tho Post-Offica Committeo, addrossed tho House in advocacy of of the bill. He belisved tho provisions of the bill wero right, and belioving so, ho had back- bone enough to advocate itatb tho risk of in- curring newspapor_criticism. —He had been in- formod that five-sixths of all tho mail matter of tho country consistod of newspapers snd periodicals, Without action, the Fouse took a recess till 7:30, The eveniug session will bo for the con- sidoration of tho bill fo rovise tho statutes, i POLITICAL. .
