aii woo aiienaea tne concert on
Friday night must hare been im
pressed by the perfect rendering of
the attractive programme. There
wai not a blot to mar the delight of
the evening. All expressed pleasure
at Seeing Dr. KurBteiner wield his
baton again in public, and it is a mat
ter or regret that he does not do so
mote frequently. When we look back
several years, and the memories of
the' excellent Philharmonic Society
looms up in our vision, we feel a deep
regret that it seems to be disbanded.
In a talk the other day about the
society with its director. Dr. A. Kur
steiner, he expressed himself as hear
tily sorry that there seems to be so lit
tle enthusiasm about the musical art
in Our community. He savs that the la
dies have asked him repeatedly why he
does not resurrect the Society and his
answer was Decause ne naa no sup
port among tne young men, who did
not appear to be imbued with ' any
oesire iqr tne arc ox music.
He says he has tried all possible
lueuu n? rorive tne oia araor, tne oia
interest i m Philharmonic matters.
among the young men, but was either
received with a cold shoulder or
sent away with empty promises. iThe
Doctor say-s the fact is that the young
men of Raleigh, who are the leaders
in society, and who control society
matters, are themselves either i not
musically inclined, or would think
it a waste of time to spend a
few moments of their busy: life
in musical recreation. And : yet
iney would certainly fand in such
musical i circle very pleasant i and
agreeable companions. The ladies
would certainly encourage them in
their efforts to revive Raleigh again
in musical matters.
Look at the reallv ereat thin pa
"TWbich hare been
accomplished at Pe
tersburg, Va. The citizens there not
only have built a splendid Music
Hall, but every year in May they have
a musical festival, which certainly
has never been surpassed by any
city in jthe South. Why should
not . Raleigh follow the exam
ple 'and j make herself prominent in
matters pertaining to art and social
culture? ; for certainly music enters
into bur most cherished abodes, the
hearthstpne and the church.
We were not surprised at the dis
couragement of Dr. Kursteiner, to
whom we must give credit for earnest
efforts to raise the standard of music
m our community, and we would be
pleased to give him all the assistance
in our power in forming a new music
al nucleus. Why do our young men
not besti? themselves and come man
fully to the front and help the good
work on again T
We hope our city will soon beein
to feel some pride in the matter, and
that it will be sufficiently well defined
to manifest itself in its good results.

Raleigh seems to see and admit the
great importance of industrial enter
prise, but for some reason nothing is
done to give the thing a boom and
Sut it on foot All admit the splen
id facilities which exist here : for
building !up a great manufacturing
mart, and, yet there seems to be no
disposition to take advantage of the
situation,; or if there is it does not
manifest itself with sufficient strength
to accomplish any thing. The
time, haji arrived, however, when
the necessity for Raleigh to ; do
something in this direction is impera
tive. One of the foremost business
men of the city was heard a day or
two ago to give a view of the matter
in an entirely new phase. He stated
tnat ne nad had occasion to observe
that the many small stores which are
constantly springing up on the out
skirts of! the city and in suburban
communities surrounding the city are
becoming a very serious element in
drawing business from the city and
that unless something is resorted to to
bring in other business to reoair the
lo8s,our business interests must suffer.
It is hot desired to check in any way the
Dusmess wnicn is thus developing
around us, but to place in our midst in-
uuouiBo wiuvu win insure tne soiia
and healthful prosperity of the city
for all time. The fact above referred
to is only another strong argument
in favor pf manufacturing enterprises
for Kaleigh, and the reasons are al
ready numerous enough and weighty
enough for all to see that no further
delay should be permitted.

commenced the work of grading yes
terday morning at a point in Grant
township, Pender county, and I will
push forward in the direction of New

took the field and will make a survey
of the lie to New Berne by way of
Stone Bay and Jacksonville. The
line will be permanently located as
rapiaiy as possmiy, an l as soon as
the directors can have a meeting to
get matters in proper shape, it is pro
posed to push the road to completion
without : delay. A meeting of the
board of directors will be held Mon
day in this city.
The business men of the city were
pretty unanimous yesterday in ex
pressing it as their opinion and desire
that the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley
Railroad should be completed from
Fayetteyille to this city by the first
of January next.
The Messenger was reliably in
formed yesterday that this company
would begin operations right away.
Mr. Roger Atkinson, the chief engi
neer, itis understood, will take the

of engineers will make a permanent

House calendar.
The House then resumed as a spe
cial order the consideration of the
Pacifio Railroad telegraph bill.
Mr. White, of New York, took the
floor la opposition to the measure.
He thought that all remedial legisla
tion should "make the punishment fit
the crime," and that before lumber
ing up the statutes with voluminous
enactments legislators should assure
themselves that those enactments
would have the desired effect. He
then proceeded with a legal argument
in which he contended that under the
terms of the contract between the Un
ion Pacific Company and the Western
Union Company, a vested right had
been created which could not under
a decision of the Supreme Court in
the Union Pacifio sinking fund case
be interfered with by Congressional
action.
Mr. White said in conclusion that
he was here to protest againBt an
archic, communistic legislation, which
would seek to legislate away the
pronertv of a man. acauired honorably
T A '
and honestly, under the forms of
law.
Mr. Symes, of Colorado, said that
the purpose of the bill was merely
to compel subskiied railroads to com
ply with, the conditions and provisions
of the grants creating them. The con
tracts between the Union and Central
Pacifio Railroad Company and the
Western Union Telegraph Company
were void ab initio and no lawyer in
America knew it better than the gen
tleman : from New York (Mr.
White). They were at the time
they were made and they
still were in direct violation
of express provisions of the statutes
and the grants creating the Pacifio
railroad and telegraph companies
were in Violation of public policy and
against public law. There were nu
merous authorities to show that all
pooling contracts with certain limita
tions, were void, and no contract could
be enforced if its conditions were
against the general good. The con
tracts tinder consideration nad Deen
made with an intention of defeating
every substantial requirement of the
grants. After Jay Gould with his
ring had conducted the Union Pacific
as long as he could make anything
out of it he had walked off, leaving
the company bankrupt and taking
with him among the assets the tele
graphic lines with which he levied
discriminating tribute from the peo
ple west of the Missouri river.
Mr. Uockery, ol Missouri, said that
under the granting acts the Pacifio
companies were required to con
struct not only railroad lines
but also a telegraph line. Instead
of doing this they had assumed
to divest themselves of their obligation
by contract with the Western Union
Telegraph Company, conferring upon
that company the exclusive right of
way along the railroad lines. The
acts of Congress requiring that the
telegraph lines along the Pacifio rail
roads should receive all business
without discrimination were nullified
by this unlawful contract with the
Western Union Company. Upon
these unlawful contracts the gentle
man from New York (Mr. White) had
erected a superstructure of vested
rights. The very language of the
contracts showed that the railroad
companies knew that they had no
right to enter into them.
Mr. White offered his substitute,
which was rejected without division,
and the bill was passed yeas 197,
nays 4, (Messrs. Bliss, Ketcham, Mer-
riman and White of New York.)
Mr. Bland moved : that the House
adjourn and this motion being de
feated, in order to prevent requests
for unanimous consent he demanded
the regular order.
The Speaker pro tern announced
the regular order to be the further
consideration of the bill to provide
for the issue of circulating notes to
national bank associations, and as
this was a bill which Mr. Bland has
uniformly opposed a laugh was
raised ; against him that he should
have unwittingly brought it before
the House. But he accomplished his
object and the 'House at 4 A5 ad
journed.

Greeley. There were representatives
present of the veteran associations of
the 51st New York, 5th Rhode Is

meeting was to ascertain if a suffi
