The large and handsome audience, Com
posed of the refined of the city, which
greeted last night the Choral Union in Its
primal!ve effort for public success was de
cidedly enouuraging, and doubtless, with
its native talent, conspired to the marked
vitality and attractiveness of the evenings
entertainment. Prof. Geo. W. Chase,

presided over and harmonized the long

The quartette, <fcc., passed with a uni
ty and smoothness which promises favor
ably, for the future. Mr. Stove Moore’s
fine tenor was noticed for its purity and
resonance of the tone.
Song—•‘Separation’’ Ac., Miss Bedell
sang this In a high ringing soprano voice,
and though obviously unaccustomed to
the admiring gaze of a vast audience suc
ceeded excellently.
“Boston Dip,” etc.—These, tho orches
tra, composed of Professor Chase, Mrs.
H; W. Battle, Carlisle Terry, Jno. John
son and George Chase, Jr., presented with
fine expression and effect.
Pilgrim Chorus —“One Gentle Heart,”
etc. Miss Terry, with a high but
delicate soprano, poured forth tho last
mentioned song with exquisite melody; In
this she was ably seconded by the Union
as chorus, which In method and tho con
ception of theoomposer, seem alike well
versed.
Song—“ Sing, sweet bird,” Ac.—Mrs.
Daniel’s voice, as it has always here
tofore been, was extraordinarily beautiful
In every note, from the rich and winning
mezzo-soprano tones In the lower register
to the most dazzling flights Into the upper
leger lines.
Solo, Duet, Trio, Ac.—The delightful
rondttlon of this song caused the audience
to enthualastlcaliyapplaud, and the three
retired on the honor of an “encore”—J. L,
Estes, Misses Helen Moore aud Ruth
Howard.
Operatic Burlesque. At this stage of
events, Matt O'Brien walked out with a
suavity which his wide stiff cravat and
Roscian style brought as a very natural
consequsnce. Ho succeeded admirably,
and so many were the boquets thrown
him that ho stumbled over them In retir
ing.
Solo and Chorus. Miss Annie Berry’s
fine soprano elicited much admiration and
applause.
"Descriptive songs" Ac., by Mary Kiv
lin, was delivered with much pathos by
her bealiful contralto tones, discovering
beauties never before dreamed of by her
audience.
“German Quadrille” Ac., was brought
forth In its primitive and entrancing
gaiety.
Chorus—“ Come Where Flowors” Ac.
This chorus was gracefully and pleasant
ly sung by the whole Union.
Quartette—"Sweot and low” was
changod for "Thou art gone from my
gazo,” and was sung In a perfect and even
mannor. Another substitution was made
lu tho programme, Mr. Matt O’Brien,
bringing with conventional humor “the
Dutch Justice.”
Tho ovening’s entertainment ended with
a solo and chorus—Mrs. Daniel and Cho
ral Union—at tho conclusion of which
thoy wero notified by the applause of the
audience, that they had achieved a well
earned and deserved'success.
In anew organization of this kind It
would be Impossible not to notice a few
defects, but we can candidly say that
those noticed by us were trival and with
praotlce oan be speedily overcome.
The membors who constitute the
chorus deserve much praiso for their well
kept and vigorous expressions.
With the success of last night, the
Union will be forced to give another oon
oert soon and we hope they will begin
soon to make preparation.
Cotton Transactions Light.
Yesterday was dull In ail departments
of the cotton business of Columbus. The
reoslpts from all sources were only thirty
bales and the shipments thirteen—only
one of which was transported from the
town, the other twelve having been
bought by tho Factories and delivered for
consumption. The sales In all the ware
houses only reached thirty bales—all
combining to make up a very light day’s
work for our cotton-dealing friends.
The stock yet remaining In store is now
less than 6,000 bales, and, unless ship
ments are more than usually sluggish, it
will be less than half that before the mid
dle of May. The stock now in store Is
mostly pretty liberally advanced on by
the factors; hence we may look for Its
early shipment. If the stock now in the
warehouses were converted Into money,
at say SSO per bale.lt would turn loose
some $300,000, to be distributed around for
summer use—aa amount of pocket-change
that wouldjbe very convenient to have to
fall back on, to case of a dull summer.

LETTER FROM H.tMHfgy. J.'
HARRIS COUNTY COURT—NORTH AND SOUTH
RAILROAD CASE, AC.
Hamilton, Oa., April 10,1877.
Editor Timm: Your correspondent ar
rived In this beautiful llttlo burg yester
day morning on the early N. A S. train,
and found quite a nuinbpr of the Harris
county people collected In the village to
attend the court, which Is In session tills
week. The Coluygfcis b£ IS*ilgprefMted
by Col. Sorter Ingram,
John Peabody, Esq., Capt. W. A. Little,
Jos. McNeil, Esq., Messrs. Bussell, T.
W. Grimes, Esq., Carey J. Thornton,
Esq., and MaJ.A. A. Dozier. From West
Point, wo notice Messrs. Blake Harris
and son; from LaGrange, Hon. A. H.
Cox; from Talbotton, J. F. Willis, Esq.,
and Judge Matthews, and from Geneva,
C. C. Calhoun.
The Court convened at 10 o’clock, with
his Honor, Judge Crawford, presiding.
Ojflfld Jury was one of
has ever dellv
erafinmdlclhe Jury fallow up Ills Instruc
tions tfie/ vf 111 jbkJfe' u forward step In
criterpiisi,. BuMlstry and morality. He
was rather severe on neglectful road com
missioners, and handled the Public School
questioa with gloves off. He congratu
lated the citizens that he was net forced
to "recommend that the Court House be
repaired,” as It had been well fixed up
since the October term of the Court. It
Is now well arranged, and In fact Is a
Urst-class Court-room.
The most Important caso on this docket
was disposed of this r. M., namely:
W. C. Cherry vs N .Jt, b. Railroad ; as
sumpsit and claim outeD, Involving about
$2,000. Judge Crawford having mWB
counsel in this case, CoL Blandford was
agreed upon to preside. After tho finest
effort wo have over heard by Col. Ingram
for plaintiff, the case was dismissed upon
the grounds that the road having fallen
Into the hands of the State by virtue of
Its mortgage the company was defunct
and could not lie sued. It created much
interest among tho lawyers as there
were nice points of law involved; the case
will be carrlod up. Col. Little for tho de

A numerously signed petition was being

that Hon. Albert H. Cox, thef- pride of

fied his willingness to do so. . -
From our intercourse with the people
yesterday, we are Indited to think the
majority are opposed to tho calling of a

there will boa change 'when they hear the

—ln the course of a recent lecture in
Pans regarding the uses of birds, an esti

by the robbery of a nest Containing five
eggs. During tho first month oach young
bird eats an average of about fifty-eight
flies or other insects in a day. The aggre
gate, multiplied by thirty, for the month
makes 7,500 Insects to every nest.
Every Insect eats dally from blossoms
and leaves an amount , equalling Its
weight until It reaches maturity. It was
calculated that In thirty days each insect
would damage thirty blossoms, and
ihereby destry thirty fruit*, and that
7,600 Insects would kill 225,000 fruits. It
will be well, therefore, for farmers’ sons
to reflect upon the damage done to their
patents by the wanton robbery of a single
nest.

ren and the State that for the flnt
time in three yearn the JCepublicann
have elected their candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
by the people," is cudenoe that it
Hue blase has not become dim, and
when the Trihutm takes to copying
that barbaric yawp, italics and all,
with silent approbation, we are at a
loss to decide whether It doesn't know
any better, or merely imagines that
its readers won’t know any better.
Says the Journal:
"The majority Is not large, to be sure,
bwt When we consider that two years ago
the Republican candidate for Governor
lacked 2,775 votes or an election, and last
year still fell short 2,888, we must say that
under the circumstance the result yester
day Is uncommonly satisfactory.”
The Journal does Dot say this year
the Republicans made a wholesale
eurrenderto the Prohibitionists, who
on both occasions mentioned devel
oped sufficient strength to defeat a
choice by the people. Or the five Re
publican nominees but one was not
supported by the Prohibitionists, so
that if we want to find out how things
are we must lump the Republican
and Temperance votes for Governor
in past year*. This is the showing
thus obtained.

If our Republican friends can find
anything •’uncommonly satisfacto
ry’’ in this they are welcome to It.
The fact is that the Republicans
fhliiyear had some little ramnyqaW
rels to impair their strength, wnile
the Ueihobiats, by a “still hunt” and
a wholesome qualification of voters
by payment of taxes at the last mo
ment, caught them napping and
came within an ace of winning. If
our Republican friends prefer it is
perhaps a fairer test, since the Demo
crats do not usually develop their full
strength at gubernatorial elections—
we will make the comparison with
the vote or last November:

ReaDsvii.i.e, Mass., Nov. 10, 1875.
Messrs. Metcalf £ Cos., London:
Gentlkkki—l must ask your par
don for my long silence, but since my
return to America, the wheel of for
tune has turned rather severely
against me. I have, by an accident,
lost my right arm, from which I am
still a great sufferer. The Boston
fire and the panic of 1873 caused the
stagnation of all business, and the
suspension of many firms indebted to
me for rents, from which I had a con
stant source of revenue, have either
caused them to throw up their lasses
or sue me for reduction of 75 per
cent. I hold in my safe to-day over
£300,000, or nearly $1,700,000, of pa
per, whioh has been protested, aud
the firms who gave it are asking for
an extepsion, which I compelled to
accede to. Thus you may be able to
form some idea of the annoyances I
have been put to since mv return. Of
the above, all isgood, but it will take
time to work it out. I will do every
thing to hasten an early settlement
with your firm, and assure you that
principal and interest will be the re
ward of your patience.
Mr. Webling, who is now the pro
prietor of the Illustrated Sporting
and Dramatic News, 48 Strand, Lon
don, not caring to wait for wonder
working time, began an action
against Eldridge for the recovery of
$618.23 gold, and the suit was tried
yesterday before Judge Aikerin the
Marine Court. The defendant, who
is in California, did not putin any
testimony, his counsel relying on
technical objections. Tho jury fouud
a verdict for the plaintiff in the full
amount claimed.
A Child Left on the Altar ol a Church.
From the Kansas City Times.
A few days since a young woman, car
rying a baby in her arms, entered one of
the churches ol this city. It was on a
week day, and the sexton was the only
one present. She requested him to go
and call the priest, sho wished to have
her child baptized. The priest came in.
conferred with her, and then retired to
don his vestmeuts prior to the bap
tism; reappeared and knelt before the al
tar. During his prayers he was dirturbed
by the crying of a child near him. He
glanced around, but not seeing it, still con
tinued at prayer. On arising from liis
knees he saw neither mbiher nor child,
but on a second observation, he discover,
ed the child lying partially concealed be
hind a piece of altar furnitnre, on the steps
of the altar. The mother was nowhere
to be seen, nor could any trace of her be
found. The priest at ouce placed the
child in charge of the Sisters, by whom
it was well cared for.

said : "Mamma, shall we have clothes
ready for us In heaven ?” and the
mother replied in the affirmative
The little one went away again to hfer
play, but soon came back in a
thoughtful mood with: "Well, mam
ma, I guess I’ll take my trunk of.
clothes along, to make sure!”
