THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY. MAY 15, 1878 U The Oincinnati Festival Opens with a Successful Con- cert. gix Thousand Persons Seated In Front of the Great Organ. The Iuge Chorus Capers Grandly Through Saw-Filing Cliro~ matics. Hme. Pnppenhdim in Fino Voice, and the Orchestra in Good Shape. Trinmphant Receptlon of Mr. Spring. er by the Great Audience. Sublime Exaltatlon of Every Citizen of Cincinnati. ftpecial Dixpateh to The Tridune, C1xCrsNATE 0., May 18.—The firat dayof the festival closes upon & declded popular success, and althouzh from a musical standpoint the popttiar appreciation has been put toa severe tost, the enthusiasm las not been confined to the ball. The whole city is in & musical whirl, agltato et accelerando. For any ons to question any detall of the festival woutd be heresy. Strangers have poured in all day, until the hotels swarm with them, and they will be packed away to-night like sardines. The entire cty out to the bills {s decorated, and the main streets ara superbly dressed with the gay colors of bunting, evergrecns, and flowers, presenting A PECULIARLY PICTURESQUE APPEARANCE, and relfsving the sombre smoky fronts in a very lively way. Many of the prominent musicians {n the country are here, and Chicago fs liberally represented. Tha result Is that music {s the one theme of talk on the street-corners, in the Innumerable beer-halls, and in the hotel-corri- dors. Even the hotel-waiters aro Inclined to wrangle with each other over the respoctive merits of the classics and tho musicof the fature, and if one wished to raise a mob fn the city hs might do 8o hy n pyblic expression of doubt asto the esthetic qunlitics of tho hall or the musical vir- taeof the big organ. Tho atmosphere Is so HIGHLY CIHARGED WITH MUSIC that a spark might sct it off. Tho wholo city is given up to it, and everything clseisabandoned, Next week It may return to pork and whisky, but this weok ft will fiddle and sing. As the programmo for the concert this even- ing was a long one,—~the threo num- bers, Gluck's *Alceste,” Binger's Cantata, and the **Erolca Bympliony," requring about sn hour each,—the performance was set for 7 o'clock, but long before that time the multituae commenced streaming in through the imposing vestibule. This vestibulo is one of the chiarms of the hall, not only for its great size, bat for the good taste which charactorizes 1t fo embellishment and design. A8 YOU STEP INTO TIE IALL the firat viow {s somewhat dlsappoluting—not In fis proportions, which are noble and grand, or in its outlines, which are brond and majestic, but In its color, which s the natural tint of the wood, and which meets your cyc at every turn, unrelleved by even an indieation of any other color, It {s 50 ncutral and sombre 18 to be monotonous. The organ docs not afford much rellef. Thoe clegant carvinga are lost In tho distance, and oue-third of the case 1s burfed behind the chorus-chalrs, so that, with {ts straight, squarae front, without any of those majestic projections and colossal figures that characterizo the Doston organ, it looks squantty, and loses tha crodlt of the immense proportions and massivo dignity that really belong to it. IT 18 A GKAND INSTRUMENT, but neither the patlent work of the falr hands that carved {ts panels, nor tho colossal work of the bullders who constructed fts intricate and vast {nterlor, ahow thelr real character. The effect of color {n tho hall, however, 18 a mers matter of {ndividual taste, and the offcct of the organ wlll bo improved when the chairs aro re- moved. They do not conceal tho fact that Cin, cinoat! haa the most clegant musie ball in the country, and tho most comploto and convenfent fosllfts equipments ang surroundings. With is additional hall on tlie upper floor, which s aa elegant room of ftsell, its spactous and well- trranged corridors, promenades, ante-rooms, dressing-rooms, and offlces, it is FERPECTLY ADATTED TO THE PURPOSE for which ft will bo used. Though the peoplo commenced coming carly, it was about half- Past 7 o'clock when Mr. Thomas took tho batou and mado his opening bow to an audience of fully 6,000 pcople, Though there were several delaysin the performance of the * Alceste,” owing to the nolsc occasioned by late comers, tbue marring the continuity, the work made a deep fprossion, both by its simplicity and its strength, and by the steaainess of its drumatic progress, which Is never once Ioterrupted by mere vocal skyrocketing or superlluous garnlture. It ls legitinate and bealthy fn tho best sense of the terins, and the chorus recelved very hearty applausoe for the n- telligence of conception and skill of perform. 8acy which thoy dlsplased. The sololsts wera MUE. PAYIENUEL, Mis Cranch, Miss Heckle, Messrs. Adams, Bwltach, Tugliapletro, Waitney, and Remmertz. Mme. Vappenbclm had the really serious work fn torce Inteusely dramatic arins with rocita- Uve, which sh ir without score. With the ¢xceptions of some chauges on the phrasing which were not Injudiclously made, she deliy- ered ber trylng work consclontiously, and at times with some very strong touches of dramatic Dower. Tho other sololats hiad bul® little to do, Mr. Adams baving the wost Jmportant arla, which he gave with cxcellent effect. A fr “Jubitante Chorus® brought the work to & cloee, and fts performance may ho set down as Asuccess that argues woll for the wholo fos- tival. The * Alcesta ™ was followed by TUB DEDICATION CENEMONIES, which conslated of the dellvery of the keys to tbo Trustees, sccompauled with brief speoclics from Mr, Dexter, Mr, Longworth, and Mr. Boringer, Although the Iattcr's voico was en- tirely Inaudible, tho sudlenco gave him an ¢nthuslastic ovation, sud the ladies of the charus pelted the old gentloman whth bouquets.

Tho performance closed with the *Eroica Bymphony,” hnt at too late sn hour for purposcs of comment, TOO EARLY. To the TWeslern Associaled Fracs. Cincinxatr, 0., May 14.—The early hour g o'clack) Hixed for the opening concert of the estival proved too carly for the chorus, or- chestra, or sudience, and it was twenty minutes Jater, when, with a densely packed auditorium, Theodoro Thomnas made "his appearance upon the stage followed by the soloists, With Jow how in response to the applause, he turned to tho _orchestrs, = move his baton,and with the first uote of scencs from Glu * Alceste," the third musical fes. tival was begun. This performance brought into play the tollowing sololsts: Mme. Pappen- heim, Miss Cranch, Miss Ileckle, Mr. Adams, Mr. Pritach,Mr. 1Hompeon, Siznar Tazlaplstra, Mr. Reinmertz, and Mr. Wmmnz, besides the tullchorusand orchestra, While the performance was very fine, it gave sufiicient test of the acoustic qualities of the hall when filled to re- moye any doubts of thelr perfection. The brief Intermission whicl followed was interruptod by THE APPEATIANCE OF MR. BPRINOE: accompanied by Mr, Jullus Dexter, aud fol- lowed by members of the Festival Asso- clation. “As the audience caught sight of the little prucesssion moving across the stage, handkerchiefs —were waved and a spontancous outburst of cheers filed the building, while a shower of bouqucts fell nround tho gentleman who has done so much to pernctuate the cause of music {n this city. e acknowledged the manilfestations of the sudiencs with aslight bhow and wave of the hand, and secated himeclf, possibly the happicst man in tho whole aasembly, Brlef addresses were made by Measrs, Dexter and Longworth, but when tho vencrable Mr. 8pringer nrusc. the applauso was deafening and long-continued. The ** Festival Ode," the music of which was composed by Mr. Otto Sing- e, who han for severul years been drilling the chorus, clozed the first part of the evening per- formance. It brought ot A 5OLO ON THE GREAT ORGAN, the first sounds from the fmmensa Instrument which had been heard during the even- fng, and which commanded the close attentlon of thu audience. The last por- tion of tho evening's cntertainment consiated of Beethoven's **Erolca 8ymphony," composed in relerence to Napoléon Bonaparte, aud ine tended as a musical portralt of the great sole dier. This clused the first evening's programme of the festival, which alrcady gives cvidence of surpassing its predecessors in every respect. - - e m— POLITICAL. PIENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS, Saectal Dispateh to The Tribune. Hannisncna, Pa. May 14.—~The clans have gathered for the Republicau Convention which mcets to-morrow to nowminate candidates for Governor, Lleutcnant Governor, Supreme Judge, and Sccretary of Internal Affairs. The delegates find, however, immedlately on ar- rival, that Senator Cameron's marriage has not interfered to present his active futercst in poil- tics, and that he has mado up a full ticket to save any trouble. Tho most prominent candi- dotes for Governor have been Henry M. Hogt, Galusha A. Grow, John P, Wickersham, E. T, Fitler, and Gen, Beaver, Mr. Comeron's candidnte s Hoyt, and Iloyc will be the nominco " boyond peradventure. Grow, around whom the obpposition to Cameron has centercd, will be placated by an offer of the place of Lisatenaut-Gavernor, and, although his {ricnds say he will decline, there is the best reason for belicving that ho will nc- cept. Btone, who bas led for the second place, aud who would havo had it but for the Urow aiversion, will be provided forns Becretary of Internal 'Affairs, and Sterrett, of Allegheny, will be named for Bupreme Judze, Thero is a difference of opiniun as to the platform.

Beeretary Gorham, of the United States Senate, Is here urglug tho passage of resolu- tlons oppusing the Potter resolutions, but this has not been determined upon.

THE CITY-HALL. Interest of the City in the Court- House Square, Some Early History on That Inter~ esting Subject. Dating the Jast two wecks rerolutions have been Introduced In the Connty Board,—one offer- ing to pay the rity for the basement which it hre out in on the Court-1lonss Sqnare, and the other claiming that the city had no right at all on that aqgnare, and that {t anght to pick up Its traps and march off. The object of these twa resolutions is the same, 1t to throw the constenction of the svest half of the building into the hands of the County Rinz, A little aver a yearsgo, while the city was atiit In doubt as to what it wonld do, oe when it wonld do it, It was suggested that the county should bulld the west half on the city's ac- count and lease It to it until the city was able to pay forit. This proposition might have been ac- cepted, 1f It had not been insiated, as one of the conditlonsof the arrangement, that the County Hoard should let the contracte. There was aring 1n the Caounctl then which wanted to have Its fin- gees {o the letting of the contracts, and it refused. ‘The people in the County Board, however, are as anzlons to do it as they wera then, soas o give another Job to Walker. It Is now claimed that the county will nced both the enst and the west half, and that It onght to erect and occupy the entire structure, Itia clatmed that the city has no rights on the gronnd—that it inust be made to move off, and that then the county will go on and let to ‘Walker the contract for building the west half, and 1o Bexton the contract for bullding the dome. Bince the point will bo ralwed that the city has no lezal righta on the Court-House Square, and that tho county cannot give it any, itfa weil 1o sec what THE EXACT TATUS of hoth partles fa, In 18510 contract was made betweenthe elty and county by which the two contributed In un- equal proportions ta the erection of = Conrts Moure, the city occupsing so many rooms and the county #o ;many. s 1858 8 aupplemental contract was made, Anolher nro:r waa put upon the build- ing, which waa then divided hetween the two par. ties, tlic city having eight twenty-firsta and the connty thirtecn twenty-firsts, Matters ran along in thia way unti} 1808, when the new wings wers Dbuilt, nnd wheu the city paid $50,00010 the county, tn_conslderation of “which it acquired a £l hnlf of the ol building except the bascment. At that time—during 1867 snd 1808—the question was rajsed thit the city had no rights in the prop. erty, and the matter was referred to o special committee of the Itoard of Supervisors. That Committee got an opinion on the sabject from Jomes P’ Hoot. which presenta conclsely THE CASE ON BEIIALF OF TIIR COUNTT.

THE OTHER SIDE. ‘This opinion was submitted to the Councll, and referred by it to 8, A. Irvin, who was then Cor. poration Uounsel, ‘That gentlewan, while admit- tho trath of the facta atated by 3ir. loot, could not concar in s law. The contract made Letween the city and county in 1851 and 1858 pro- vides for the .pervetual occupancy by the city of certain portions of the Cusri-House In cansidera- tibn of its paylng s certain proportion uf the cost of the etructure. The question was whethicr the Doard of Bupervisors were suthurized to take auch contracta. Aa the State granted a pubiic square to tne county tosfd It inthe crection of public bulldings, Mr. Irvin could not ece how these contracts violated ft. They were to be leases. and the Interest of the clty thereunder way nothing more nor lees than a leasehold interest. The conslderation thercfor paid by the \‘.ll{ was appropriated and used in the bulding and enlarge- uient of the Conrt-Ilause, and tha grant made was therefore not violated or diverted., As regards the act of 1851, he holds that ita object is simply to prevent tho sale of the public . TLIs the Legtslature iss undertaken to ys: by dedicating it {0 public uses uste, ana_by fornidding it being sold, mo yaged, fucumbered, or conveycd. he arrange- ment ' between tha city and not coofllct with the nor can any of the the = second pection mililate against the valldity of the ¢ity’s rights under the cuntracts, unless it be the word, *‘ocumberec.” Bal the object of the Legislature in ceing that word was only tu brevent bolh the Corporate authioritles of the counly and eity from doing anything that would divert it from, or interfere with, tho public uses to which it had been deaicated. The occu- pancy by the city of o part of the Court-Huuse is in harmony with the dedication of the aquare to pablic uses, and not such an Incumurance as wan contemplated by the Le; tore, for the act wea simply a probibition of its ssle and use for private purjioses, The cause which led to the pasaage of the Act was & proporition to sell one-half of the square and cover the remainder with public bulidings. To prevent this the act was paseed, and immediately ofter its paveage the .nrt. con- fract was entered into, ‘That the construction given the nct by the parti time of its passaze. The construction w, the county had the authority to grant, and the city ;‘l’ take, & perpetusl leasehofd intercet in the Court- ouse. ‘The third section only provides that nothing in tho sct sball be 30 constraed as to prevent the luca- tion of county bulldings on flock:8. The sutnor of the act put that in simply toabviate any possiblo misconstruction of the purpose snd object of the sct. Mr, Trvin was, therefore, of the opinion that tho contracta between the county and city conferred on tue Iatter & perpetual leaseliold tnierest in and to anch parts of tie Coart- Hone were thereoy set spart, to-wit: that those contracts wereanthortzed b‘{ the E“m from the city to the county; that they did not violate any of the provisions of theact of 1851; and thst what wmignt thercafter be doue in relation to the use and occupancy of the Court-House or the sonarc must be by mutaal sgreement between the city and county. NOTWITHSTANDING ML, ROOT'S OPINION, THE CITY AND COUNTY MADE ANOTHER CONTRACT, by which provision was made for the arectlon of 1tho east and west wings, and the exact shuring of tho uld edifice. This arrsngement remalned un- altercd until after the ire, Then In 1872 another contract was drawn up, —the one which 18 now in Htigation, —which provides that the clty shall have -,wumclnnl intereet In the Mllu.“ for the purposo of erecting a City-Hall, which shall be of uniform destgn, eic.. with the county's structure, If it was fllcgal for the County Hoard to make the contract which it did with the city in 1851, it was illegal for {¢ to muke & contract in 1872, for nothing was dona between 1851 and 1872 to repeal the law of 1851, or to give powers to County Ioanls or ltoards of ‘Buperrisrs broad enough to repeal that special act. If that Isw Is susceptible of the meaning given to it by Mr, Root, the city is A trespasser on the square, and must move off whencver the County Buard ro orders {t, Dut it will require something beyond a vote of the County Board 10 de this. Ax will ba seen from Mr. Irvin's opinion, the views of Jawyers differed on this polnt in 1867, And it will be very difticalt to ‘-cnunaa the pevple of Chicago thatine Cliv- 11all fa 1o be moved to any olher poiut, especiaily since it was provided In th by which the mon« eys oxpended on the canal” were refunded to' the city that a certaln proportion of that sum was to q replacing m bridges and in rehollding pubdlic boildings on their orlginal sites, it being well known at the timo tnat thisprovislon'fn refereuce to original_sites was put In ta stop the agitation regarding the re. moval of the L'Ilrlllll futhe West Side.
