locum tenens and atterrted te; much, When they get the speech in full of Senator Sumuer on Johnson's Alabama treaty, however, they will only begin to comprehend the American view of English neutrality and belligerent tights, and the folly of Johnson. General Grant’s Appointmente—“ Let Have Peace.” “Let us have peace” is the motto of Gen- eral Grant. It is a good motto—yea, it is glorious and sublime. We all want peace; but for all that, on the Cuba question and the Alabama claims there is a smell of gunpowder which to Young America fs positively re- freshing. In fact, the great mass of this peo- ple no more want peace now at any price with John Bull or the Spaniard than they wanted it on such terms with Jeff Davis. The peace which General Grant wants is peace among ourselves, peace between the two late belli- gerent sections, peace in the South, peace be- tween whites and blacks, peace with the wo- men’s rights women, peace with Congress and the office-seekers, no matier who the office- holders may be or what may be their claims, services or usefulness, or what may become of them. A general clearing out will at all events settle this business, and so a general clearing out is going on. “The new broom sweeps clean”—almost too clean, We have never had anything like it before, nor behind either. Rotation in office as established under General Jackson was to rotate the adherents of the defeated party out and the victors in, on the rule that “to the victors belong the spoils.” Now the new law of rotation sweeps out Grant men, Johnson men and Seymour men, radicals, con- servatives and copperheads; and good services, experience and qualifications seem to go for littie or nothing with the persons going out or the parties coming in. Crippled Union soldiers, with the followers of Andy Johnson, and rebel confederates and peace democrats, and help- Jess women by the score, are carted off to the guillotine and sacrificed to a sum total of two or three hundred every day. The grand idea with General Grant, they say, is to clear out everything and to fill every place with some new appointment, so that when there is not an office left to squabble about he will surely “have peace.” The House of Representatives is the mill which first grinds out the applications; then they are assorted and divided among the heads of the several departments; then they are passed over to the President, and thea, as we have heard it confidentially whispered, in cases where there are several applicants for the same office, with Congressional papers and backers, the President puts the names in a hat, from which the first one drawn is sent up to the Senate. It is done by lottery. By this process a startling catalogue of all sorts of appointments—good, bad and indifferent—is sent up every day, and, with an occasional sop to this, that and the other Senator, they are confirmed as if they were run through by a steam engine. The office-seekers are astounded at this rapid work, and every day, a heavy batch of places being disposed of, every day a heavy detachment of’ disappointed car- pet-bagzers, cursing and swearing, evacuaic Washington, This likewise is a now thing; but in clearing out these fellows it begins to look like “peace” around the White House, Occasionally, however, in some nomination the President treads upon the corns of a high and mighty Senator, and then there isa speck of war. Take tho case of Senator Ross, His candidate for postmaster of Lawrence, Kan- sas, did not happen to be the first pull from the hat, and so Ross went up to the White House and roundly lectured the head of the nation for presuming to ignore ‘the man of Ross,” and finally told the astonished fountain of patronage to go to Halifax. Nor was this all, for when Grant’s man for said post office was sent into the Senate Ross aaid, “This is not my nan, and I demand his rejection ;” and he was rejected. Senator Brownlow made the same demand, with the same rosult. The personal wishes, therefore, of any republican Senator, even if ‘one of the immortal seven,” are a law of the Senate which the President must respect in reference to any special office, although no such requisition can be found in the new Tenure of Oflice law. How is all this to end? ~=We cannot conjeo- ture; but, after all, if does not look much like “peace.” So far as the soveral factions, sections and races which make up the repub- lican party are concerned, thoy have no right to complain, For instance, a radical is made Secretary of the Treasury, a conservative Secretary of State, a reconstructed rebel general is made Governor of Now Mexico, Dumerons women are made postm sters, as they aro officially called, an Indian is made Commissioner of Indian Affairs, a nigger is made Minister to Hayti, and another Minister to Liberia. A Ohi- naman or two as Consuls to the Central Flowery Kingdom would make tho thing com- plete inrogard (o races—white, yellow, rod and bisck. Still we cannot positively say that all this will give us peace in rogard to the spoils, or in the matter of retrenchment, econ- omy or reform, The soreheads threaten a mutiny inthe camp, aud some of the lucky ones ona reconsideration have been thrown out, Upon the whole, in the proportion which the candidates bear to the offices will be the disappointments and wrath in the party lines. Unless, therefore, Genoral Grant shall in tho interval sirike for a higher gamo than the division of the spoils, tho results of the coming fall elections, we fear, will not bo very flatter- ing to tho administration and its new and ewoeping law of rotation, Us A New Ponnrwoar Hew.—The Chicago Republican rejoices that the little town of Galena, lil., has given to the world tho Presi- dont of the United States, the Secretary of War, the Minister to France, the Assistant Secretary of Legation at Paris, the Consul to Lahaina, and a number of United Siates mar- shals and other public officers all the way to California, There was a time when the high- est aspiration of the chief in the above list waa to be mayor of that little town of Galena.

NEW YORK HER D, TUBSDAY, APRIL 20, 1869—QUADRUPLE SHEET. Rossini’s Masa. On the 29th of A pril Rossini’s Petite Messe Solenneie—as the illustrious composer chose to name his latest masterpiece, which he must have felt confident everybo dy else would call Grandc—will be performed at the Academy of Music for the first time in America, There can be no doubt that it will create in this coun- try a sensation equal to that created by it in Paria, London and other great European cities, Composed by Rossini at Passy during the summer of 1863, and in his seventy-second year, it combines the ardor of his youth with the strength of his manhood and the maturity of his old age. It was applauded by a few privileged auditors, among whom were Auber, Meyerbeer, Ambroise Thomas, and other distinguished representatives of the fore- most ranks of intelligence and culture, when it was first given at a private rehearsal in Paris in 1864, with the help only of a harmo- nium and two pianos. Happily the maestro lived long enough to add to this work the advantages of complete orchestration. Before his death he consented to leave it to Mr. Maurice Strakosch as a musical bequest to the world. Mr. Maurice Strakosch having trans- ferred to his brother, Mr. Max Strakosch, the charge of producing the mass in Awerica, Miss Kellogg, assisted by Mile. Testa, Signor Boetti and Signor Antonucci, will appear in it. Our favorite American prima donna will thus enjoy a fine opportunity to justify the flattering opinion which Rossini himself bestowed upon her when he expressed his gratification at learning that she was to be a chief interpreter of the work to the American public, Rossini’s ** Petite Messe Solennelle” is pro- nounced by competent critics to be far superior to his famous “‘Stabat Muter.” It richly com- pensates the world for the ‘‘sublime idler’s” silence of thirty years, Composed of eleven numbers, to which two were atterwards added, and including the ‘Kyrie’ (A minor), the “Christe” (C minor), the “Gloria in Ex- celsis,” the ‘‘Gratias” (A major), the ‘Domine Deus,” the incomparable fugue (F major), in which the musical skeleton of the scholastic fugue is miraculously endowed with flesh, blood and glowing life; the ‘‘Credo,” the “*Crucifixus,” the ‘‘Resurrexit,” the ‘‘Sanc- tus,” which is devoted to voices alone, and the “Agnus Dei,” Rossini’s Mass is throughout, according to the unanimous and unexaggerated verdict -of the French critics, ‘admirable, splendid, immense, full of fire, color and faith.” For the production of this mass in America as well as in Europe a vast scheme has been organized, one noticeable feature of which is the aid to be contributed in each principal city by its local musical celebrities, Here in New York Mr. Max Strakosch might find in the Philharmonic Society alone ample materials for efficient co-operation, The scale on which the mass has been and is to be ren- dered on both continents is unprecedented in the history of music. Fair of the Caban Ladies’ Relief Associ- ation, The recent concerts of the Cuban Ladies’ Relief Association have proved so remarkably successful and private gifts havo poured into its treasury 60 freely that the project has beea started of holding a fair ona grand scale in behalf of the sick and wounded of the patriot army of Cuba, The hope is reasonably enter- tained that this fair, which itis proposed to hold at an early date, will be a great success. Many prominent mereantilo houses as well as private citizens of wealth and high social posi- tion have already intimated their readiness to co-operate in this praiseworthy movement. The American publio never fails to act with commendable liberality when properly appealed to in behalf of suffering humanity. It is alto- gether within the province of unofficial circles in our New York socicty to manifest sympathy with the struggles of the Cuban patriots against odious Spauish tyranny. The neutrality of the United States government is not at all compro- mised by such manifestations of sympathy. But {t behooves the managers of the projected Cuban fair to see to it that its proceeds shall be sacredly devoted to its avowed objects alone, If this shall bo done we shall not regret the approbation which we gladly accord to the proposed fair of the Cuban Ladies’ Relief As- sociation, We eincerely bope that the fair will surpass in its resulta the expectations of its most sanguine projectors.
