WALKING WITIH GOD. Mit, MOODY'S DIDLE LECTURR, The attendanco at the afternoon meeting in Farwell 1all was very large, every seat being vecupled and many belng compelled to gtand. Mr, Sankey was present to conduct the prolim- Inary song-servico; which was entered into with more than the. usual spirlt, and appearcd to rouse the audlenca to a high pitch of religlons forvor. Tho subject was, '* \Walking with God,"” ono on which Mr, Moady {8 pecullarly fitted to speak. An abstract of the lecture, which was ;mo of the most enjoyablo of the scries, fol- lows: The lecture was addressed to thoss who bad been born ot God. God came down and vislted mankind on sundry occasions after the fall of Adam, but men only walked with Him after they had been redcemed by the Blood. When they walked with God they hed great power, but as soon as thoy turned away they were fn troublo, bandn@ and_darkness. Jesus, we were told {n the Flrst Epistle of Peter, left us “an example that we should fol- low in His steps,” It was our duty to ltu(lg the Bible and lcarn what that example was, ani then to hasten and copy it. The great trouble was_that people did not read the Word for themeelves, hut wers guided by mintaters, who held differont views thercon.” The Biblo was the only zulde-book to lead us through this dark world to lifs eternal, and we ought to study it and lay its words to our hearts. In varfous nll.cu;! rticularly {n Leviticus, xxvi., men were enjolned to walk {n God's waye, In his dylng charge to the Elders, Joshua fin- pressed’ upon thom tho necessity of walking in all tod's ways. The reason there was g0 much troublu In the world was because they walked contrary to God. Now, no men who went con- trary to God's will cnuld have nn{ peace. Thoy might have prosperity, but they liad no peace with it. They might havo wcalth, but they would get mennuess with it. We must have contentnent with wealth {n order to enfoy It. He would just as Mef liave stones as gold it he conld not liave God's biessing with it. Noone could mako the way of salvation as beautiful and bright as God had made it. Did Liberal Christianity give usabetter way? Ile had not fonnd Liberal Christians rejolcing In the Lord; they had some darling which they wanted to retain. Mo hoped the day” would soon come when God's people wonld get thelr feet into_the old way. 'The world might cry out about Purltanlsm and narrow-minded- ncas, but let the world talk, The old way was the best. The way the old Puritans took was Dbetter than the Gerinan infldelity of the present day., It was_written, * No good thing will the Lord withhold from them that walk uprightly.” Was it not better to have such nymm‘se a8 that thau to turn away and follow our own devicesl Tut thero was onc thing a man had to do In order to walk with God, and that was to become separated from unbollovers. A Christian as- sociating with a sinner made God a party to the ain, just the samo as, If he walked down strect with a burglar, he would be liable to Lo arrested 88 party to that mnn's crime. Much of the miscry in Chleago was caused by the mixing up of Clirlstians with unbellcvers, Hardly a day possed but some woman came to him and told of difficulties beiween hersclf and her husband, Perhops the man was a drunkard, & blasphemer, or wanted to take the children out on Sundays, or it might be that ho scoffed at her prayers and religion. Al this troublo was owing to Christian women yoking with untelievers, A great many women did not Jike to be spoken to on thla subject, and said they would marry whom they pleased. But those womeu would have to take the conse- quences. Bome married unbellovers, they said, in the hope of dolng them some good. It was Letter to do that “before marrlage; if a man could not be won to Christ before marriage, thera would bo o mlfmy poor chance of dofng it afterwards, Still, it aiy one_had marrled an unbeliover, she must cling to him and not sepa- rate, The Bible did not rcach this di- vores busincss that was so prevalont n Chicago, e dld pot know what we were coming to, but he hoped that public sentiment would soon bocome g0 strong as to rule any one out of soclety who put away his wifo with- out n Bible cause, It was high time that thls helllsh business should be stopped. There was another polut to which he desired to call attention in this connection. o did not sco how Christians could belong to lodges. Many of the members scoffed at hrmlunuf' and they could vote on subjects that would ake bellevers party to something not right ir. the sight of God.” Ifedid not uxcogt temper- ance lodgess he would not yoke with an unbe- liever in anything, [Appliuse.] A man res- cued from Intempcrance by a soclety not work- ing on Gospel principlos was apt to boast about his abllity to reform himsclf, and such o man ‘was worse thon a drunkard, It true reform was wanted, there must be com- plets scparation from the world, But peopla night sng lic had a lodge in bis church. That was 80, but as soon as he dlscovered fta por- nicfous Influence bio cleaned them out ns he would n cage of unclean birds. This lodge got up o picnle, at which they allowed dancing and lept it up until midnight, and he was made & purty to'lt! ‘Tho reason why so many young ladies married drunkards aud unticlfevers was because of thelr Iznorance of the Bible. Thoy did not know thit Gud prohibited such unions, Teople dfd not kuow how many dark hours they would cscapo If thoy would but feed on the Word of God. Somo mizht object to his condemnatlon of sceret socletics and other lodg- cs ou the ground that many members belongcd to churches and might withdraw, Well, lio did not care sbout thelr withdrawnl; the quicker the dead formalists did leave the Clurch and make room for live Christlans tho hetter, If those men left they would probably return con- verted after awhile, Iut suppose the world Qfd Jeave them, could not they nfford to walk nloned 1t was a great deal better to be along and rl%hnvmn God, than to have tho world with them and bo wrong with God, After some remarks on the necessity of walking by faith, the speaker concluded With an urgent appeal to the sudience to separate themselves from tho world and cling to the Lord, THE TABERNACLE. TIE ADDRESS TO THE ERRING WOMEN, At half-past 7 the Tabernacle was full, but the stowaway procoss was continued until nearly 8, when the doors were reluctantly vlosed. Tho announcement that Mr. Moody would speak somo words of Christian counscl and comfort to tho fallon women of Chicago was the especial attractfon of the evening. ‘The cholr and the sudlence sang together for half an hour with gzeod efleet, whon Mr. Bankey entered and gave out the hywmn, “Ring the Bolls of Heaven, which was given with great spirit. ‘The eolo and chorus, * Rescue the Perishing,” was next sung, afterjwhich tho Ror. Dr. Mitehell offered prayer. Mr. Bankey then sang “The Ninety and Nine,” and Mr. Moody read the Scripture lesson from tho seventh chapter of Luke, begluning with tho thirty-sixth verso; being the account of the feast at tho house of Matthew the pub- .lican, at which the womaa that was a sinner washed His feet with tears and wiped them with tho balr of hor head. The followlng words were then sung by Mr, Bankey a9 a solo with much tenderncss and ex- pression: To tho hisll of the feast camo the sinful and falr; Sho beard 1n the clty that Jusua was there; H diny the splendor that blazod on tho boa: b‘fifi'ffi‘cki\‘y l:m‘ tat the fuel of the ln?rd. 4 o frown and the murmur wont round through them ail, onusu inhallowed shonld tread fn that hall; xll’x:lllul::u wald the poor would be objects miora As (bu: l‘:lil th of lior parfume shio shower'd on Ils ect.

TUB BEKMON, Mr. Muody announced as his text the fifth chapter of Luke, thirty-aecond verso: T came not to call tho righteons, but sinpers, to repentance, "This saylng of Chrlst, sald he, {s also men- tloned bI\: Mattliew and Mark; und when you find anything rccorded by scveral of the Evan- gelista you may know it {8 soructhing of great importance. Chriat had been cast out of Nuza- roth, and had come down to livo at Caper- vaum, Wwhere he found a publican by the pame 0f Matthow, and sald unto bim, “Fol- fow Met Matthew at once left all and followed Christ, and ho was so rejoiced that he made a great feast and luvited all tho publicans to his house to meet Lis now Master. But now wo fiud the Pharisces at their old rky con- plaining. — They found fuult with Christ tor re- celying sinners and for eatipg with publleans; and ghelr complaints were the occasivn of THE CHICAGO speaking the worda of the text: ¢ Then tho ecrihes and phariaces murmured against His dlsciples, saying, Why do ve eat with publi- canaand sfnnersl And Jesos answering, eafd unto them, They that , whole nced not s physiclan, “but they that are sick. I camo sol to call the rlgmeous‘ hut elnners to repentance.” That was Chriat's bus- Incss,—11is profession, as we might call it. At another time, whcn the people of a_Bamaritan town refused Him hospitallly, and James and John wanted to know if they should call for fira o come down from Heaven'and consume them, Jesus says, ** Yo know not what manner ul spiritye aro of. For thaSon of Man lanot como to destroy men's lives, but to save them.” Luke, Ix.) 55-50, Christ's mission is to save, and Ho will eave every sinner In this house to-night who s wiil- ing o be saved. Tt is only whena man waken up to the fact that he is sfck that he senda away for the doctor, He is disgusted If o physiclan comes o make him a professional call when there 1s nothing the matter with bln. Just so it 1a with sinuners who do not see tholr sin and dangar; but if there s a sinner hers Lo-night, no matter what the sin may be, who is sick of sin, the Ureat Physiclan {s here 1o heal you. 1remember one doy as I was going along the gtrect, [ saw posters, and handbllls, and dodg- era paated on walls, and fences, and curlstatics, ndvertising s patent medicine called pain-killer. I was very much disgusted, and safd it muat be somaquack medicine ;butalittlowhileafter Thad a headache and went {nto a drugstore and bought some of that very medicine. I hope there are a good manyalck peoplo hore to-night: the greater thosin tho greater the need of a 8arlor. £ Oncaon the boat, as wewere coming homaefrom Eurnpe, there was' 2 young oflicer who looked as if he were fnlmz todie. flc was full of plans for 1ife; had his gun ulongbnnrl talked of golng lnnting, but presently ho began to fafl rapldly, and at ‘Z"le first port wo mado he asked them io rend this dispateh: * Mother, I am renl afck.’! 8ome one ssked him if ho badn't better tell her to comoe and take care of him.. *No," sald he; ¢ she will come If you tell ber that.! Just 80 mau's need brings out the help of God. They charged Chriat with recciving sinners, and I ain told that the original word means looking out for thetn. Ah, that s just what the Lord GQod is doing; just what he came to do,—to look out Tor ai save the sick and the lost] Some one may Allf, “I am too much of asin- ner to come to Chirlst.,” Why, my frlend, you might just as well say *Iam too hungry to eat,! or I am too sick to havo a doctor," or %1 ain abeggar, and I will wait t{li I get some- thing before [ nsk anything.” There sn't any kind of sinner in Chicago but hasa representative_fn the Bible. There were the publicans; tho Jews thought them about ten degrees lower than any other people, and when thoy spoke of sinners they put the pub- Mean first,—** publicans and sinoers,! ‘hey wero the greatest villams that cver went un- hung, 1t was_thelr busincss to collect the taxes for the Roman Government, and when tho taxes were 8100,000they would collect $150,- 000, aud keop the dillerence themselves. If there was & poor wilow who could mnot pay the tax they would scll everything she hod to get tho money. Thelr money was not taken at tho temple; pricats would not speak to them; and tho com- mon people deapised them. They were almost ns bad as our rumsellers, They were lost, and therefore Christ cane to savo thiem. These arc the porsceutors, who will not suf- fer thelr wives and children to become Chris- tlans, who ridicule the religlon of Christ, and do atl in thelr power azalust | {usv. ns 8aul of Tarsus did, But Christ saved him, Thero{stho moralist, the pharisce, the hiardest kind of people to reach: they think {lu-y are whole and nced no thslchn, but Christ saved some of them_oven. Nicodemus was o Pharisce, and go was Joscph of Aramathea. But to-night I want to talk to anotlier nlm&— the fallen women. Tuo world seems to think that if o woman falls there s no hofim for her; but there ars such women fn the Bible whom Jesus sought out and saved, and I want to call Your attention to threo representative cases of this kind. Tho first is the one mentloned in the seventh chapter of Luke. 8he was awakened by the spirit of God, and when Jesus caing to that feast at the housc of ono of the Pharlsecs, sho mnuu{ied 10 pass the servant at_the door and to get Into the room where the Master, according to tho custom, reclined on a lounpe at table in stich n manner that Lis feet, instead of belng under tho table, rested on the lounge bebind. There were often o good many strange people following Christ, and when Ic weut toa feast there was no telling who might come in nlonfi with 1im, and eo I suppose this poor, sinfu woman managed to get lu along with the crowd. Bhelindon alabaster box full of preclousolntment, but her heart was full of contrition. Standing ‘Dbehind the Savior, she bathed His feet with her tears, and wiped them with her long black halr. Tho Pharasces argued that Jesus could not be a prophet, or He would not have suffered such n woman bo touch Him. Noneof theold prophets would have pushed lier away. But Jesus kuew what thoy wero thinking of~young mau, young woman, pharisce, God knows what you are thinking of—and e sald unto him, “8inner, thors ‘was acertaln man that “had two debtors; one of them owed him G50 pence and the other 5005 and when hey had nothlog to pay bho frankly forzave them both. " Now which of theso two will Iove him most1" Simon sald, “I sup pose ho to whom 6 forpave most.’ *‘Thou hast rightly udged,' says Christ;and then, after comparin) 01 nvlng attentlons with Simon’s neglect, e tells him that her sins, which were many, are all forglyen, And in order that the woman may get it rleht he turns around and says the same thing to her: **Thy sins are all forgiven.” Somo of you think you have some goodness of your own, that you have somecthing to pay. A good many einners think they cail pay about 75 cents on the dollar, and somo think they can pay 00 cents, and they hope to make up the other cent somehow. Others can’t pay tnore than 95 cents on the dollar. Nongc of theso arcin the way of being forglven; but when a einuer comes to understand thut hoean't pay one-tenthi of a mill, that he has sbsolutely nothing, and _comes to Christ for forgiveness, He 15 ready to forgive him oll, How Joyful thnt * woman must have ong out from the feast! Bho bad come rl to the feet of the Master and He saved her from all her sins. Aud you may all do the same s7ho hear me to-night; come to the feet of the Master and He witl' speak the word that will make you blessed, ‘Thero is ono thing § want you to notice. Wo haven't got the name of ln of theso three fallen women that Jesus saved. Poople some- times call soclotivs for tho reform of fallen women Magdalon Asylums, but there fsn'ta ht ad word In the Bible® sgalnst the charactor of AMary Magdalene in this respect. It fs true, shu had soven devils cast out of hor; she might have been maniac, but I don’t think she was oifallen woman, 1f she had been I don't think we should vver bave known her name, Christ will not tell thelr names; thoss lust women whom He suved may have o place In Ieaven without any one knowing of thelr former sin and shame. he next is o carclesa women, as perfectly Ins dlfferent, when she first meets tho Eavior, 08 any wowian here to-night, who has cotne to the Tabernacle merely out or curlosity. Mr, Moody ~ then related the scens of Christ t‘.\lkhv; with the woman of Samarin at Jacol's Woll, substantially as reportea In Tue TRIBUNE on A former vccasion, cancluding with the remark, * Just see what that careless wuman has donel 8he has believed on the Messiah hurselfy and brought 8 wholo town to aecept Him,» The Son of Godils not ashamed Lo talk with this fallen woman, and the result of it {3 that she and a great mauy others aro saved. Tho third case is that of the wuman men- tloned {n tho clghth chapter of the Gospel b{ John: Black, blacker, blackest! Vile, viler, vilestt ‘This woman waa taken fu the very act of adultery, and tho Pharlsocsbrouzht her to Chriet to ave what Ho would gay about her, The law of Moscs says those who are gulity of adultery shall be stoned to deatl, and they brought this poor fallen woman right hofore Him and des munded of ITim whether shio should be stoned. Tho woman herself was overwhelmed with shame; §4 was the first thns she had soen Unrll:l; it was her flrat sight of grace and truth, Jesus stooped down and wrote with bis fin. eron tho ground. I don't know what He wrote. erhinps with that same fluger that wrote the Ten Comtuandments bio wrote, “The law came by Moaes, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ,” ‘l’hau. pointiog at the Pharisces, sumu one of whom muy haye” been the first cause of that poor woman's ruin, he said, * Let him that is wl[‘huul s'n mmong you fral cast a stone at her, Then they laft Him, one by one Thero wasn't a man of themn that could throw astone at the sinner. They bad brought the woman for judgment, why dian’t they bring the man alsod “They dldu't kuow sbout that wo- man ay Jesus did, Perhaps she hado't any mother, and her step-mother had thrust her out au to tho street, Porhaps she had s drunk- en father who neglectod her, orled her fnto bad company; but” when Jesus lfted up Him- self and ‘asked the wowan where arc the ac- cusers, thtre wasn’t ono of them to be fouud. The woman expectod to be stoned to death, but fnstoad of that she fouud grace and truth. “Neither do I condemn thee; go aud sin no more."

TRINITY CHAPEL. 'DEDICATION OF A CIURCI AT MIGULAND PARK. Trinity Chapel is tho name of a pretty little cdifico just erccted by tho Eplscopalians of Highland Park. Tho membera of the soclety have been worshiping fn tho Baptist church of that suburb since being organized thres years ogo. In September last the present building was begun under rather discouraging clreum- stances, as the burdenhad to fall upon n very limited number of people. By the personal ex- crtions of sevcral gentiemen, especlally Messra, Hall and Cushmau, and through the assistance of tho city churches, particularly the ane nfter which the chapel has been named, the bullding was carried on to completiun, Yesterday the openling services were held, and umufih they were not in the form of arezular dedication, partook of the character of such uffairs, A sfiocm traln on the Chieago & Northwest~ ern Road left the Kinzle street depotat 10 o'clock promptly, convoylng o number of the Chieago clorgy and interested fricnds to High- land Park. At 1l o'clockn Isrge audience as- scmbled in tho chapel, Bishop McLaren con- ducted the scrvices, nssisted by the Rev, Ed- ward T, Sullivau, the Rey. Canon Knowles, the Rev, Canon Btreet, the Rov. Houry G. Perry, tho Rev. Dr. Cushman, the Rov. Dr. Hopkins, the Rev. L, Pl\rdcc} of Chicago; and the Rev. Mr. Conlb:mxih. of Waukeganj and the Rev. M. Smith, of Evanston. Tha singing was excellent, Imlnfi rendered by volunteers from IHighland Parkc and Trinity Church cholr, Chleago, Blshop McLaren’s sermon was taken from the followlng text: How amlable are !h{ taberpacles, O Lord of Tosts! My soul longoth, feo eren fainteth, for the cotirts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh cri- oth out for the living Qod,— Paaling, 0.1, The {dea of the sermon wss to show what made the Tubernacls attractive; not the archi- tecture, not she ritaal, not the intellectual char- acter of tho service, but the presence of God. Ou this firat occaslon of tholr meeting togother, how should they learn to percelve God, to cuiti- vate the faculty of sccing Him? One of the most melancholy indieations of the presont age was the lack of Teverence. It could be seen in the deportment of little children towards their elders, in the tendency of the people to rovaolt ngiuhm. government, in_the actions of peoply who attend church, When you cauter n vluace where devotees were ussombled to worship, ?'ou would find many people who svere unything but dovotees, Christians should labor to'cultivate more the perception of Chrlst. Thereforo they should never Jct thelr churchos for sccutar purposes, as ft detracted from the holy associntiona of the place. In order to still further prepare oursclves for cutering the sa- cred porrnls, wo should have a moment of silent prayer. ‘To rush Into tho church bastily from tho active pursult of business would tend to destroy the sanctity af the place, and would in- evitably Jead to & formal relizion. There wore other suggestions that he would make; among them, that the peopls should not scrutinize dress, and should not stare.at every new-comer fnto the church, The manuerin'which soma peoplo foined In the Te Deum was sutlicient to cause ancels to weep, Theysbould also Lo eareful, and not be too curious about the looks or acts of the clergymen.

The Buhnp closed with congratulatiog tho people of the congregation wpon the suwccessful infshing of the temple, andspoke of thediscourageinents attending Its orlgin. He besoght his hearers to have s decper sense of the respousibllities before themn, to look after thdr children and thelr familles, with an eyo to tyelr future and Licavenly welfare, A After”the offertory the audicnce was dis- misged, while tho wembers of the church re- mained to partake of the Communion, In the evening the Rov, Edwsrd ‘I Bullivan preachiod.

THE BEETIIOVEN CONCERT. ‘The Beethoven Soclety hss given two of Its pleasant chamber rcunions this season, but ita first public appearance before ita assoclate mem- bers waa made last evenlug at McCormick Hall, Tho audience was quite laree, showlog that the popular Intereat {n this Bociety has not waned, and the turnout of active mewmbers also speaks well for their own Interest in it. There were about 125 singers in the ranks, divided as fol- lows: sopranus, 85; altos, 25; tenors, 30; bassos, 5. Mr. Carl Wolfsohn still remalns at the helm, with as much enthusfasm and {ndustry as ever. The programme was one of extraordinary in- terest, alnce it embraced many noveltics, among them Rhicinberger's Cycle of Ballads known as the “*Toggenburg"* and Gade's dramatic poem, *Comala.” As these works are eatirely un- known here, » bricf statement of their general character will be of Interest. Rhbetoberger 18 almost s unkmown to our coucert-goers as his Ballad Cycle. A few of his minor insirumental compositions have been performed In solrves given by the students of the Musical College, but beyond these the name is almost new In our pro- gramme. His first composition was a threc- Ym maoss with organ accompaniment, per- ormed In 1840, Among his other works are the music to Calderon’s * Wonderful Magi- cian ' and Raimond's * Unfartunate Crown;" a Stabat Mater for solos, cliorus, and orchestra; ‘Wallensteln,” a gmxd lfmphonlc tone-ple- ture; “The Seven Ravens,” a romantic opera in three acts, Leslde plano worke, songs, and church-musie. The story of the Topsenburg Ballads, which sre linked together by acom- mon motlve, {s of somewhat the same charmcter ns that of * Comala.” It Is the latnent of the Knight of Toggenburg for his lady whomn his couseless Jealousy hos slam. It Lears the stamp of great origiuality, although there isat timefa simllarity of senti- ment between Rhcinberger and Schumann, and a distinct flavor of Mendelssohn in one number. The work is melodious and pleasing through- out, the music contalning a creat varlety of phases, from the most tender and soothing alrs 1o the lifellke and vigorous. It Js somewhal clegiac in {ts nature, and very dramatlc through- out, and affords a choral “society nmple op- portunities for musfeal eflect. Gode s hetter known here than Rhelnberger, and yet is com- paratively s atranger, Chicago coucert-woers have heard onc of his sympliouies, some minor ‘works for the strings, ani his “Ecl King » can- tata, but the latter isan unimportant work as compared with the vigorous tone-poem * Com- ala.” Its autograph title runs as follows: Comala, n Dramatic Pocm,after Osstan, set to Mausic for Boll, Chorus and Orchestra, by Niels W. Gade, op. 120 The arguinent, n8 given In the co) o1 which Is now belng fssucd serially in Dw(qh{" Journa: of Music, 1s as follows: Comala, the daughter of Sarno, King of Innis- tore, #o eaye tradition, cntertaived a violent pas. sion for Fingal, Kingof Morven. Fingal returned hier love; and Comnla, clad as s warrlor, followed hm in an expedition against Caracul, King of Lochlin, Op the day of battlc, on the shures of the Carun, Hingal leavea her on holght whence she can overloolk the fight, and promises, {f victo- rlous, to return at evening. Comala, full of anx- fous forcbodinge, awaits Fingal's return. Amfd the howliay of the storm, the spirits of the fathers appear to her, as they movs towand thie battle-Seld to conduct to thelr homnes the souls of the fallen; she 1imagines the battie lost, and Fiagal slaln, Overcome with grief, Comaladies, Féngalretunrns victorlous, with aongs of trizmph, and learna from her weeping maldens tho death of his beloved; la~ menting, he blds the bards praise her in song, and with her attendants to waft her departing soul with hymns 1o the abodes of the fathers, The work was produced for the first time under Gude's direction at Lefpziiy in 1843, where it made o sensation, the cowposer then being fu his 20th year. It contains some very fine male and female choruses, although they are at times very diflicult and make great demands upon the owers of the singers. It some passages also it s written very high, especially in the male chorusea. It Is almost equally divided between male and female choruses, Fingal alwuys ac- companying the former, and Cornala the Iatter, Bome of the male choruses are very powerful and stirring, requiring great deamatic power to give them requisite cxpression, while most of tbe female choruses are, on the otlier hand, written in a Iyznt, tender, and gentle veln. The musle seems, In great degree, to bo the quaint and characteristic strafn of the Northerners, 11+ lustratiug tho poetry of Osslun. 1t 18 in Gade's carlier st§le, when he drew largely from Scandi- navian sources, from which, however, he las now completely cmum:lpntml himself.” It has also 8 reminlscence of Mendelssobin, who first recogulzed the genius of Gade, but there is so much of Northern individuality {n his music that ft can hardly be called the work of an imltator, The *Comals,” although by far the mora difficalt of the two works, was the best {n performance, m\'lng [iflnclpul!‘[ to the defects in some of the solalsts In the “ Togrenburg,” In the * Comala " the solists—Mrs, "l hurston, Mra, Fox, Mrs, Balfour, nnd Mr. Bergstein—wero very effective. Mrs. Thurston delivered the re- citative and inusie of the title role with unusual vigor aud spirit, and with tnuch more dramatic expression thau she has cver displayed before. Her singing in all respects manifests great im- rovement over last scason, Mrs, Fox's sing- ng of the ballad *“From Lochlin Came to Battle” was a genuinely arttstie effort which was extremely creditable, The other sulo work was well done, and the chorus also dld lia work well, more cspecially in tho spirit choruses and tuo fiual number. “The balance of tho Boclety is more perfect than ever before, The sopraiios havo fullen off some, owing to the lack of Teading volees, but the other parts aro well sustained and ave fully up to their efforts of lnst scason, Tho remalning choral nuwmber was a settiug ol Mrs, Hemans' well-kiiown poom, “Tha §flwrlm Fathers,” b{ Mr, Fred- erick W, Root, which was exceflen! ly sung, and wll reflect credit upon Mr. Root o8 & composi- tion, Thoe working ;IS of the last verse In fugue form, feading to & well-sus- tained chorale, is particularly felle- {tous, aud the ecntiment of tha whole pocin bas been well Interpreted, It 18 an un- rretcnuuu: but carefully-written work which held {ts own, notwithstanding the daugerous lo- cality between the Comnaln ™ and the * Tog- geuburg,” The remaining vocal number wus tuat sutiqne gom of Hossl's, * Ab, rendinil quel cory” sung by Miss Ella White tn admirable B! la, with a string accompaniinent sct by Mr. E d{.

Why the I'eoplo of the Bonth Are Opposed to Tilden's Election—Nortbern Demnooratia Bewllderment and Anger. Dimateh to New York Graphie. Wasnixoroy, Dec. 11.—Thero {s a change in the political kaleldoscope, which fs flling Northern Demotrats hore with panio and In- dignation. It ia discovered that the Southern- ers are not unwilling that Rutherford B. Hayes should be the next President of the United Btates. It will havo been noticed that {t was the Bouthern members of the llouse who refused to follow Randall's lead In favor of fmpeaching the President. It will also be borne fomind that in tho Senate the bulkof the Bouthern Benators voted to sustain Vise-Frosts dent Ferry's ruling that the twenty-second joint rule of the last Congress was not in force. The full conscquence of this action of the Democrats In the Senate and House has not becn realized until to-day; and it {8 now reported that Mr, Tiiden privately says, ** The jiz Is up," and that all the Democrats can do s to creats as unpleas- ant an impression as possible concerning tha means by which Hayes will be tnade President. ‘The explanation of the position of the South- ern Representatives and Senators fs & very ob- vious one, 8hould Tiden b chosen, any effort ou bispart o help the South, and rid the South ern Btates of the carpet-baggers, would excits the anlmosity of the North. He would be un- ableto effect anything with a Republican ma- Jorlty In the Senate, ut‘] were Hayes alected ‘ith'the understanding that he should do the ’unr. thing by the South} that he would use his nfluence to” remove obuoxious Republican ofil- clals in the South; that he would give no coun- tenance to the carpet-baggers; that he would Elro a falr show to lending Southerners In'.the istribution of offices; that he would admit oue or more typleal Southerners to membership {n his Cabiuet, the South would then - be better off than it possibiy could be with Tilden, who would be bound hend and fuot, and could do nothiog Lo oasist them, The Southerners, It {8 sald, ed that thelr co-operation will make any Adminlstration odlous; that, were they to try and get justice done them by Tilden, It would g:‘flnme the lmulnnn of the North oand they would lose 13 tho subsequent clectlons, They know that, it Mr, Hayes DLelps themn much, it will exclte tho anger of hisown party, and ia time bejug his Administratfon into disrepute. But, they argue, by submitting to tho clection of Hayes with an “understanding, they cun secure a real wivantage by the removal “of the carpet-bag State Governmeuts, 88 well us get a Ludr shure of the offices, At the same time, a Repiblican Admninistration coming tnto power as this one does fs pretly sure to prove tharuin of the purty that upholds it. » Hence it s currently believed that, 'during the long vacation which fs shortly to oceur- there will be mno factlous oppositen to counting the votes ot any ot the Statcs—not even Oregon—for Jlaves and Wheeler; and that the Eouthern Scuaturs will give no countenance to any attempt to ratse the standard of civil war. Democrats hero from the North are bewll- dered at this sudden turn of affairs. They aro very angry, for in any event they will be loft out in thevold. 1t {8 now thought that the fu- terview of Col. Roberts with r. Huyes really meant something; that assurances were con- veyed to the S8outhern Democrats 80 as tosecury tatlr co-operation, or at least negative their op- position to the new Administration, Presldent Graat also conies in for his share of the anger of the Democrats. They now sa that he Ia a master of statecraft; that he * foof- cd themto the top of their bent.” Knowing that Hayes would be declared President he took wceasion to get off sume buncombe nbout the necessity of a falr count, which decelved papers like the New York Heruld, and even public men, into supposing that e would favor the election of Tilden. ter Hayes wos counted [n by the Louisiana and Florida vote, they say that Grant dcliberately undertool 1o humbug Abe Hewitty ond succeeded, for IHewitt, after that ~memorable inter- view, was really persuaded that the President waos on the Wade Hampton side of the contro- versy in S8outh Carolina. After sucking Hewitt dry and finding out what Wade Hampton ex- pected, they say Grant turned and showed him- self an ardént Chamberlalnite. The Democrats acknowledze that they have been outwitted and outintrigued st every point fu the great Presidentlal game. They were beaten in South Caroling, iz "Florida, in Louisi- ong, fn Washington, aud’ they ere pretty sure that - even their little diversion out " in Oregou will do them no good. Ithink lam safc In anoouncing that the carecr of Roscoe Conkling in public” life draws to aclose, Ill-health will probably be the ex cuse for giving up his career as a” Seuator, but 1t is known by bis friends that Mr. Cuuklug fecls keeuly the hampered positlon which he s put in by his meagre salary as a Senator. After puying necessary expenses, clerk-bire, and postase, e hos less than §3,0004 year—about as 1much, he anys, as he could make in two weeks naa lawyer, He wishes to re-enter the pro- {fession and to add to his personal posscssions, Were it not that there {s u Democratic Governor toappolnt & Senator in his place, ha would protmbly resizn at once. But hic may wait until the close of his term, In order to give the Re- &»'ubllmns n chanco to recaver tho State of New orit.
