* NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET, ————— eee 4 io loo! daring intruder steps in and takes al! the wind out of his sails, MADAME FEROREA-LEOENES on pes Proches’ d variations evel r than on a ers indeed, # very remarkable voice, and uses it with rare effect. In one of the variations she makes @ Jump of two octaves with- out any nt effort. If she could only harmon- ize and end the registers of her voice she would be a perfect artist. But to come to the grand feature of the concert, the FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE PRUSSIAN BAND. When this apeNcoking body of musicians emerged from the depths beneath the stage, and their seariet plumes appeared in the middle aisle, between the serried ranks of the chorus, a wild cheer went up from 10,000 throats, and the band took their sta- tions in front of the stage amid enthusiasm not inferior to that which greeted Godfrey and his men. Heinrich Saro, the leader, @ tail soldierly lookin, specimen of a Prussian grenadier, firm as a roc and erect asa pillar, then took the baton. The se- lection was a fantasia by Wieprecht, founded on themes from the “Prophete.”” It is rather Wagner- ish in character, and very long and elaborate. It gave @ favorable opportunity of testing the power of the band, and was most admtrably played. With- out possessing that beautiful rich tone of the British Grenadiers band, the Prussians displayed an intl- mate acquaintance with every detall of the music, = expression and singleness of purpose that made THEIR PERFORMANCE ABSOLUTELY DRLIGHTFUL. German players are invariably addicted to re- garding quantity as the first element of tone, and Uiereby they cannot remove from their playing that harshness of tone which is supposed to be unavoid- able in brass instruments, Godfrey's Band is the only one I ever heard, with the exception of the Austrian Imperial Band, that can give a veivety richness of tone to everything they play. A tornado of cheers brought the Prussians forward again, and this time they paid their respects to Weber, a8 Godfrey did the day be- fore, by piaying the overture to “Oberon.” An- other encore introduced a fantasia on “L’Africaine,” which was superbly rendered, Heller’s German Hymn was next given by the chords, orchestra and the eae pana and oe ced trate es omliment by a spi rendition of ‘The Koa, White aiid Brug? 2" "Yankee Doodle, ‘The chorus and audtened Became couvuised with ex- THE PEACE JUBILEE.

Better than this, there was a larger assemblage of the common people, each of whom paid a five-dollar Dill for admittance, and the presence of whom warrants a belief that the Jubilee is becoming pecuniarily popular. On Monday there could not | have been more than 7,000 people, beside the chorus, who occupied seats in the Coliseum, Yosterday there was an addition of fifty per cent to | that number and to-day the audience was increased threefold. Reckoning from this basis, as the Yankees say, if the audiences continue to multiply for a few days there will be agreat jam in Boston before the close of the week. Really, there is getting to be a great dea) of enthusiasm about this Boston Jubilee. Leaving altogether out of the question the facts that It is an advertising speculation; that the grinding of sundry individual axes 1s the principal business of a part of the Board of Managers; that Maany of the geese in authority are endeavoring to feather their own nests at the expense of anybody who has feathers to spare, and that Boston, in its endeavors to excel its previous endeavors in a musical way, has, practically speaking, “slopped ever.” There can be little doubt that, con- sidering results as they are presented to-day, ‘this self-same international series of concerts, which Rave been villifed so extensively and with such Mttle effect, will ultimately result in a grand suc- cess for those who contrived and are carrying out {ts objects, as well as affording infinite satisfaction Wo the general public. The audience of to-day was Peesessed of far more accurate anf com- prehensive knowledge of music, perhaps, than that of any of its predecessors this week. The Germans, as everybody knows, is a musical nation in every sense of the word. When listening to the rendition ofthe music of “der Vaterland” performed by their fellow countrymen they are enthusiastic to a re- Markable degree. Some of the instruments, how- ever, have fallen into disgrace. The poor drum, with all its rotundity and imposing dimensions, is one of them, and now there is no one tn Boston “so poor as to do it rever- ence.” What will be done with it, is a question much easier propounded than answered. ‘One proposition strikes me as original, if not_prac- toate that is, to make a trotting P at course of it and to invite the best horses in New gland, on some off day of the Jubilee, to enter for mile heats, best three in five; a prize pumpkin and a purse and eome Boston crackers for the second horse, which #econd horse, by the way, has not yet been entered. THE AUDIENCE. ‘The audience to-day, as has been intimated, was y composed of the German element; in’ fact not only all the Teutonic Bostonians were assem- bled, bat others from New York and other distant = were present as large delegations of the | man tribe. Their special enthusiasm over the various features of the programme was very marked, and the balance of the audi- ence could not well refrain from joining an the general plaudits. During tne intervals between the first and second parts the lager beer | department was a special attraction, and thou- sands of glasses of that invigorating bevera, jwenched the thirst of not only the exuberant | Succhman, but of the descendants and rep- | reventatives of ail the acknowledged civilized ations of the world.

After the overwheiming success of Godfrey yes- terday, and the frantic enthusiasm with which ‘they were received, the chief interest of to-day’s concert centered in the German Band, Kaiser | Franz Grenadier regiment, from Berlin, As | ‘was predicted yesterday, the international spirit is now fully ’ aroused, and as | each pand will appear their countrymen will | | Mock in vast numbers to hear them and give them a hearty welcome. Such is the case to-day. The Germans were out instrong force, and the guaileries, which were almost empty on the first two days, Pooh, A gladdening sight, being pretty weil ied. The music commenced with that glorious old choral A STRONG FORTRESS 18 OUR GOD, the same with which the jubilee of 1869 began. The | stardy oid hymn of Luther rolled out its majestic measures with more grandeur and soleimnity than | ever, and througit the Coliseum and out on tie spacious ground adjoining swept the tidal wave of twenty thousand voices, thrilling every heart, hushing even the shrill whistle of an Albany train | as it shot past towards the depot, and booming ou the wings of the wind, announcing far and wide | that the third concert of the jubilee had begun. THE OVERTURE TO “TANNUAUSER.” Closely following came the noble overture to | “Tannhausen,”’ which was played by the full or- chestra of 1,000 musicians. The effect of the strings in the florid and beautiful figure that frames the Pilgrims’ Chorus at the end of the overture was surpassingly grand, on account of the immense body of tone and the evenness of the ensemble. The winit Anstruments are very weak in this orchestra and are all but submerged in the ocean of sound ground them. Gilmore conducted this work with commendable skill and judgment. The oratorio choruses in the programme, in which Zerrahn | wielded the vaton, had too much of the psalm. einging odor about it. It may be necessary, with uch an unwieldiy mass of singers and players, to take as slow a temps as possible; but it spoils the work and turns Hande! and Mendelssohn into caut- ‘mg preachers.

One very beautiful feature of this @dvert was the “Pizzicato Poika,” by Strauss, played by the entire body of strings, and led, of course, by the composer. The irrepressible “Anvil Chorus” was given, as it is likely its absence from the programme would create a riot. a riot. ‘To-morrow is to be devoted to La Belle France, and ifthe Garde Republicaine Band retain any of the spirit of the old Garde Imperiale Dan Godfrey will have to look out for his laurels, The immortal “Marsellaise” will be given ina style such as only may be heard on the eve of a revolution in Paris. The chorus seem to settle down to work with earnestness, and there is a marked improvement every day in this department. The altos are par- ticularly worthy of praise. To-night the Germans are in great glee over the success of their compat- riots, and the lager flows unceasingly, To-morrow will be the ROR CG the French band, and the enthusiasm will probably be still greater, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

A Grand Conglomeration at Baton Rouge—Pinch- backites, Kelloggites, Billingitee—Conelusion to Bury the Hatchet and Shout Lustily for Grant—The Proceedings Yesterday. Baton Rovar, La., June 10, 1872. Upwards of three thousand people scddenly preei- Ppitated into this little town has given it quite a holi- day appearance. Three or four boats arrived from New Orleans yesterday loaded down with social equality, and the night was spent in eaucusing and canvassing. The distinguished citizens consequently looked a@ little jaded this morning, but stil! boiled over cheerfully with politics and patriotism, As most of the delegates camo on duplicate and = tripiicate, owing to the many frac- tional differences existing, the morning was spent in perfecting a compromise. All the gubernatorial candidates were early on hand, and established separate headquarters. Kellogg, with his Custom House friends, occupies tempora- rily a fine private residence; Billings ditto, while Pinchback (both colored) and Flanders entertain on their steamboats, Strong delegations of democrats and one of reformers are also in the fleld. Tne former endeavor to secure the nomination of a negro ticket; the latter to bargain for a few ofices, Jt was early evident that money was being freely used, and the active agency of many old demo- cratic _wire-pullers indicated the struggle to be a desperate one. Up to this morning Billings was b iar (8® strongey candidate, with Pinchback as his principal contest bet during the day Kellogg and ders succeeded in effecusg A. ~ FUSION OF ALL CONFLICTING INTHI except Pinchback against Billings.

When the regular Convention assembled the Billings peo- ple were furious with disappointment, and joudly threatened to unite on Pinchback to defeat Kel- loge. Of course the nomination of a colored man for Governor is gener y regarded as securing a defeat, and 1s deprecated by all but soreheads, GRANT EULOGIZED AND WARMOTH DENOUNCED, The regular Convention assembled at the theatre at noon. The room is spacious, and as none but delegates are admitted the intense heat 1s not 80 severely felt. The hall is ornamented with mot- toes eulogistic of Grant and denunciatory of War- moth, who evidently has but few friends left among the gororee people, The first two hours were spent in effecting a temporary organization. The Con- vention is composed of whites and blacks, in equal roportion, and is very orderly. On baliot- hh for temporary Chairman T. T. Allayn, cocored, was elected by a large major- ity over E, W. Robinson, The result of the contest ia supposed to be indicative of Billings’ defeat, and securing the gubernatorial nomination to Wiliam Pitt Kellogg. Mr. Allayn, on being conducted to the chair, made a characteristic address, which ‘was greeted with uproarious yells and cheers, His allusion to Grant called forth a perfect tempest of applause. PINCHBACK'S BACK UP, During the afternoon considerable excitement prevailed, The negroes took alarm on observing that only two oe were on the Kellogg ticket, and a diversion tn favor of Billings resulted. Pinch- back also kicked in the traces and talked in a hos- tile manner to the coalition. The Convention met at eight o’clock and received reports of commit- tees without much objection. Those on credentials Saxioe nthe time prevented the transaction of any more business to-night, and the Convention there- one squared itself for an oratorical tournament, which seems to be a favorite African pastime. A committee was despatched IN QUEST OF THE VARIOUS CANDIDATES for office, with the intention of putting them through their facings, a brass band on hand enliven- ing the interval which elapsed before the commit- tee returned, bearing in triumph Measrs.

MYSTIC PARK RACES, A Large and Brilliant Assemblage on the Grounds—The Horses Taking Part — The Prizos—The First Race Won by Rosalind, the Second Rage by Goldsmith Maid. Boston, Jane 19, 1872, The Mystic races were continued at the park of that name to-day. The track was in excellent con dition, a8 was evident from the time made by the horses in the 2:24 class yesterday, and fast time was anticipated from the celebrated mares Goldsmith Maid and Lucy, Indeed, their fame as trotters was sufficiently powerful to draw a very large attendance of people from the city and the surrounding towns, the steam and horse cars bringing: their full complement of people, while large numbers reached the Park by thelr own con- veyances. The occasion was remarkable in conse- quence of the excellent trotting of Goldsmith Maid, she making the best time on record—2:164— r tine at Milwaukee a quarter of ‘THE FIRST RACE Was for horses that never beat 2:40, for a purse Of $1,000, of which the first horse was to receive $600, the second horse was to receive $300 and the third $100, First Heat.—Stuyverson had the pole, Coroner K. second, Brock third, Morris fourth, May Bee fifth and Rosalind outside. On getting the word the pole horse broke and went to the rear. Of the others Brock, Morris and Coroner K. had a lively turn for the lead, which was finally taken by the Coroner, Brock next to him. The latter soon fell back a trifle, and Morris went into close company with Coroner K. Rosalind placed herself third just after passing the quarter, and the other two went head and head for a considerable distance, Coroner K. drew away a trifle from Nettie Morris, but was soon after forced toa break; he was soon caught down, however, and Kept his lead to the distance, where he made another break, which lasted until he crossed the score, over which he was beaten by Morris @ neck, Time, 2;8034.

Earle, who is one of the foremost. men from the Eastern shore of the State, known as | the nest of the dyed-in-the-wool democracy, was chosen Chairman, and made an able speech in favor of Greeley, which was loudly applauded, and it was evident from the start that his views were those of nine-tenths of the democracy of the State.

Some little dissatisfaction was created on this account, but it was all quieted when the full delegation was an- nounced, and it was known that nota single man | who was not known to be for Greeley had been chosen. P. F. Thomas says that the reason why strong resolutions in favor of the endorsement of Greeley were not adopted was because the leaders of the | Greeley movement here thought it best not to dic- tate the terms or manner of that endorsement to the National Convention. The entire delegation, both at large and district, is perhaps the ablest that has ever been sent from the State to a national political gathering. Montgomery Blair, ex-Governor Philip, Frank Thomas, Robert Fowler and A, Leo Knott are the delegates at large, and many of the district deje- gates are of equal prominence and ability. MINNESOTA.

The Maid was the first to appear, and as the elder Doble opened her out up and down the stretch she was greeted with applause from the spectators in the Grand Stand. Lucy was similarly honored, and after a few moments’ preliminary work they were called up for the First Heat.—Lucy won the pole and had a length the best of the send-off when the word was given At the lower turn the Maid quarter in thirty-six seconds, they went like a doubie team, the Maid making one break, but it did not cost her any ground. ‘The half was made in 1:10, and daylight was first seen tween them, as the Maid drew away from Lucy.

A Long Rigmarole Over the Course of Procedure. The Governar’s Action in the MeCunn Case Critieised by Counsel, aia Argument for and Against Postpone- ment of the Trials. ALBANY, June 19, 1872, After roll call this morning, to which twenty Senators responded, the Clerk read the answer of Judge Prindle to the charges preferred against him. He denies all the charges made. A lengthy discus- sion followed between Senators as to the time when the trial of Judge Prindle should proceed, but it was finally resolved, on motion of Senator D. P. Wood, that the trial be set down for Wednesday, June 26, at four o'clock P. M. M’OUNN’S CASH.

The testi- competent committee of the Assembly, and was competent. Senator Murphy thought the request of counsel for Judge McCunn that the testimony be taken over again was reasonable, and ought to be granted. Part of the printed testimony taken by the Asse’ bly committee could probably be used. A LONG DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, ‘Involving the question whether th alread open the testimony taken before the Assembly Commit- tee of the Judiciary should be used. Another point raised by the counsel for Judge McCunn was that there was a preliminary question which they wished to submit to the Senate for its decision—a question of jurisdiction, That question would be argued by Judge Selden, and for the purpose of securing his services a delay of one week was asked, Senator Murphy moved that the case of Judge McCunn be postponed for one week. following vote :— Yeas—Meswrs.

McCunn, but whether the consti- | tution should be followed and respected. The case of Judge Smith, which the Senate propose to follow, is not the present case. Counse’ to read at length from the Smith case. The Governor passed upon the case, assumed the facts submitted to be true, and called upon ; the birt accused to prove his innocence. It had been decided by the Supreme Court ot | the State that before aman could be put on trial he must first be indicted by some party. It is not enough that certain parties shall bring charges against @ man, and that the Governor, without ex- amination, shall transmit the charges to the Sen- ate. An elective officer cannot be removed without afulland fair hearing.” The Constitution guaran- | ties that before an elective oMcer be put on trial That course was foliowed IN THE CASE OF JUDGE PRINDLE, in which the Governor heard counsel on both sides. In the present case (the McCunn case) the Gov ernor has not recommended a removal. The volu- minous charges were transmitted by him to the Senate on the same day Cg were submitted to him, and before he could possibly have given them an examination. Counsel then read from the Revised Statutes, and cited an opinion of Judge Bronson to prove that the removal of an elective officer could not oceur without the recommendation of the Go: ernor, In this case the Governor gives no intim: ton that Judge McCunn ought to be removed. Judge Van Cott replied, contending that the criti- cism passed on the Governor's recommendation was purely a verbal one. The Governor was not bound in absolute terms to recommend removal. The constitution did not so direc’. The Governor, instead of looking at the mere letter of the consti- | tution, had regard to its spint. In the Prindie case the Goyernor’s recommendation is of a quail- Hed ¢) rp er. aa nciusion of the Judge's argument the Senate took @ recess until four 0 4 The weather here is by Dee MS hot, and this fact, coupled with pressing is rate on the part of some Senators, lead to the belief that the session will not be a lengthy one, and that possibly & sub-committee may be appointed to take the evi- dence and report to the Senat Evening Session. On reassembling A. C, Davis, of counsel sor re- spondent, said in the few remarks he was about to make he was taking upon himself a responsibility and duty which he had not anticipated. This being Sellen to present to the Senate; but that gentie- man was unavoidably absent. Nevertheless, it be- ing @ Ma! important question, he would be doing @ great injustice to his client if he did not do the best he could with it, and he would, in the outset, ask the Senate to look at this question the same as if Judge McCunn were not here at all; a no one in particular were here, whatever the decision may be, it fixes a precedent for all time, What, he asked, does the constitutiondictate to you in such a case this?

Counsel said he had been unable to find a single case of this kind in which the Governor, in his communication to the Senate, had not said he | had heard and examined, and therefore recom~- mended removal and cited the recent cases of ‘ SMITH, PRINDLE AND CURTIS. In this case of Judge McCunn what does the Gov- ernor say? Not that he had found anything against him in his official course, but that the Assembly, having asked him to send tiese charges to the | Senate, he had done so; in other words, that the | Assembly had sent this batch of papers to him, He, | simply to get thre load of lis shoulders, had sent them to the Senate, with the recommendation that they be examined. This is very different from hia | following the provision of tue constitution and say- | Ing to you, “Ihave examincd these papers, have heard the case, and recommend you to remove Judge McCunn.” Counsel sald he couid not see how the Senate could give one moment's attention to this case, coming before it as it did. As to poecedente, he said the Senate could not dnd a single case in which the Governor has not said he has had at least a hearing in the case before aend- ing it to the Senate.

This enraged General Aguero, who assumed to be in full command of the Stewart and all on board, which resulted ina difficulty between the captain of the Stewart and General Aguero. The facts becoming known to the Vice Consul, he decided not to clear the ship until he could further investigate: matters, Whereupon a portion of the crew remain- ing threatened the life of Captain Pennell, and the Vice Congul was obliged to cal! upon the Prefect for military force to restore order on board, but be- fore his request was granted by the Prefect the United States steamship Wyoming came into port, and at the request of the Vice Consul a force was immediately sent by Commander Davis to board. the Stewart.
