TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1872.

GEN. ETHAN ALLEN, the grand-son of the old Revolutionary hero, was on the 12th iust., re-elected Chairman of the Liberal Republican National Convention, in the city of New York. On taking the chair he made a speech, of which the following are the concluding paragraphs

Horace Greeley for more than a quarter oT a conturv has been a prominent public target, but "no one has ever yet ventured to assail the purity of his private life. On vital principles he has differed from thousands of his fellow-citizens, as was his right to do, but he has never been other than a frank and a manly opponent. Foremost in every good deed of public importance, the champion of reform whenever and wherever proposed, the poople trust him because tliey know that his impulses are honest. Himseli a man of toil, he has by untiring energy mounted the ladder of private and political eminence, but he has never despised the steps by which he climbed. Mr. Greeley turns instinctively to the poor and the oppressed, because he is largely endowed with charity, and his hand has ever been ready to oxccute the promptings of his heart. One of the boldest public men our country has ever produced, he has dared to do exactly what he has thought necessary at the time, and to leave the consequences to take care of themselves. The honest man who takes right, not policv, for his guide must often find himself at" war with his warmest friend, and such a man is Horace Greeley. One of the most zealous advocates of the war, no sooner had Lee surrendered his sword, than, ranging himself on tho side of clemency and humanity, he demanded in his first editorial "magnanimity in triumph."

In the Democratic party we have an ally whom we welcome to our side in this contest for good government. The grandest evidence that this nation has ever given in its history of the capacity of the people for self-government is contained in this action of the Democratic party. Three millions of electors voluntarily taking tboir stand on a new and progressive platform, and following the lead of a lifelong antagonist, proclaim their allegiance to principles, not to men. To follow the former leaders of the Democracy and the older issues of the party for no higher reason than to perpetuate the organization would be to become slaves to a mere name. So long as the term "Democracy" represented distinct issues worth battling for it was reasonable for that party to battle alone but when the Liberal Republicans adopted a platform which, as a code of political morals, they could accept, it was no disgrace, but, on the contrary, it was in the highest degree patriotic "to forget self in their devotion to principle and this is exactly what tho Democracy has done. The Democratic party, with its former powers of fifty years of victory, are eager with us Liberal Republicans to clasp hands, "across the bloody chasm" which has too long divided the North and the South, and welcoming them to our field in the same patriotic spirit which prompts their action, we hail them now and hereafter as brothers in a common cause. Organization and work arc all that remain for us to do, and the importance of both I would impress upon eich member of this Committee. Action action action is the source of political victory. Let each of us, in our respective States and spheres, labor as if the result rested on him alone, and soon the certainty of triumph will be read in the dismay of the onerny.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: The Journal this morning makes terrible examples of two of our citizens who have dared to discontinue that paper, hecause of its persistent efforts to disorganize the Democratic party in this city aud county, by publishing their names and business. It evidently did this for the purpose of intimidating others from pursuing the same course. The editor of le Journal is laboring under the ha 1 :cination that almost the entire Democracy of this section indorses his present course. How sadly he is mistaken in this time, which sets all things right, may reveal to his clouded .vision but, in the meantime, let no good Democrat be deterred, by threatened proscription, from withdrawing his support from this twofaced concern—which, while pretending to be Democratic, is really aiding the reelectiou of Grant with more vim and vigor than it has ever displayed on the Democratic side.

THE PEACE JUBILEE.

A Lingering Reverberation. NEW YORK, July 10,1872. As an experiment, the Coliseum performances appear to me sufficiently important for deliberate review. My subject has been prejudged against me yet, presumptuous as it may seem, and futile though it may be, "I also will give mine opinion."

The imported novelties had a double and injurious advantage over the true fundamental elements of the enterprise The foreign military bands, for instance, not only appealed to the poorest and therefore broadest susceptibility of the Coliseum-going multitude, by a sort of imperial prestige, piquing curiosity and vanity at once to the uttermost, but they also commanded their best vord frbm the knowing ones of society and the press. They had to be conceded firstclass in every point of view. An unanimous and unqualified dictum of this kind from the talkers that all hear, controls the popular or audience verdict, despotically. Nothing else, then, was so successful as Jthe foreign bands. Next to these, and for like reasons, were the individual foreign lions and lionesses, Straus, Peschka, Leutner, Rudersdoff, fcc. In other words, the pre-eminent hits of the Jubilee were of a nature not to be repeated on a future occasion. They were also the enormously expensive part of the entertainment. They belong to the class of fearful pecuniary risks which consummateluckcan hardly makeremunerative, and which nothing less can save from being ruinous. Clearly, then, this class of attractions must be, for the presest, at least, counted out from the elements of a permanent musical festival. The question falls on the remaining elements that is, the vast choral and orchestrial effects, which alone afford practical material or even a worthy occasion for an established annual festival on a national scale. Must these also stand condemned, as inadequate to the purpose for another reason—the want of popularity Or may the failure of popularity be explained and remedied

Now, the truth is, that outside of Boston and vicinity, the Jubilee proper never had the slightest encouragement from the popular powers that be. On the contrary, it was mentioned in the newspapers, and of course by people in general, only in terms of sarcasm, until the actual arrival of the great bands, etc., began .to force upon the criticuli an apprehension of something that might be too much for them. All that the public has done, it has achieved by main force, against wind and tide. The question is, if with a fair showw the chorus and orchestra, which have borne the brunt thus far, could be made to "pay," and whether the recent experience affords encouragement that a fair show may be had for them.

The difficulty is this A mammoth orchestral and choral performance is in its very nature pregnant with occasions for cheap criticism, that is, fault-finding. The average newspaper critic is tremendous on palpable flaws, and if not that, nothing. He has the ridiculous power to persuade au_unfortunate public gifted with the power of reading but not of thinking, to throw away their grandest sensations as cheap trash, if the mechanism that produced them be tainted with imperfection. If it raises the roots of their hair, so much the worse for their task. The only way is to jam their hats on and hold the hair down, scorning the vulgar effect of "noise."

For my own part, the Coliseum performances have left me in- doubt over this problem Are these vast choral and orchestral effects after all of too intellectual a nature to be enjoyed by the many At this question the Coliseum critic of the newspaper grins. Have you not known, have you nq£ read, quoth he, hath it not been told you in every line we have printed on the subject, that this straining after a tremendous noise is the very vulgarity of the thing—fit only to "split the ears of the groundlings?" Intellectual, indeed!

Very well. Grant that a tremendous noise was the vulgar expectation—notably among critics. And precisely here was the vulgar disapppointment. The noise was nothing so tremendous at all. The critic enjoyed this advantage over his private brethern he had a theory of the failure. Patent to all that there was failure of the expected tremendous noise, he alone could explain it. Too many voices to synchronize their effects: the soundwaves crossed and neutralized one another. I begin to despair: if hearing the performance has not revealed to the more intelligent vulgar that a tremendous noise is not to be the result of twenty thousand small voices nor of twenty million of them, what shall reveal the true nature of the Great Chorus to the many whom Mr. Gilmore seeks to impress and whom he must impress, if he is to succeed in his unique mission. But possibly the many are greater than they know. Perhaps if the newspaper critic would let them alone, they might take pleasure that neither he nor they could account for.

Yet, if we ask ourselves what proportion of human ears could find anything filling for them in the million-chime of raindrops on the grass, or how many souls ever lose themselves in the Infinite of the sea chorus, we get as little encouraging answer from the Coliseum critic of the newspaper press. The doubt recurs, that the effort of comprehensive attention by which one grasps the sublimity of vastness in multitude, is too intellectual an effort to be expected from an entire hundred thousand of the men and women who can make arrangements to attend a musical festival in a given week.

It may do some good, however, to talk it over. Every one who heard the Coliseum performance will agree, at least, on having it pointed out, that very few sounds were heard there so loud in quality, (such as the trumpet) as to produce by their multiplication, a powerful effect on the ear and that the musical notes of the human voice are especially incapable of such effect. In fact, the sensuous grandeur of the chorus owed more to the organ than to all the twenty thousand singers. In every church choir the same fact is observed. The noise is made by the organ the voices serve to impregnate it with singing quality, with feeling and expression, and gaining in turn prodigiously in sensuous effect from the accompaniment. The merely sensuous effect of the full organ and choir in a church, is in fact often greater than that of the great chorus, organ and orchestra in the Coliseum although the voices in the Coliseum, in comparison with the largest choir in a church, were multiplied tenfold as many times as the space they had to fill was multiplied. Some of our most pretentious critics have actually founded on this relative inferiority of sensuous effect, a judgment against the Great Chorus, as less effective than smaller ones. But the true magnificence of the Great Chorus, as already hinted, is not an astounding crash upon the tympanum, but something vaster than sensa-

tion can comprehend, received by the Mr. Gilmore's regularly enrolled and

listening minds in E pluribus unum: of unnumbered voices. The undivided force of sound that one can actually hear is limited by the strength of the nerve, and the sublimity of its effect is soon lost in violence and painfulness. But the sublimity of multitude,in harmonious voices, seems to have almost unlimited access to the mind through the ear. The faculty of attention to multitude is so much more capacious than the perception of magnitude, that while the latter soon staggers overwhelmed and confounded, the former expands with elastic and increasing delight to the reception of myriads on myriads of voices at oyce. A great sensuous effect on the ear is like a violent jam at the entrance of a public hall. The intellectual effect of multi-tude-vastness is like the concourse admitted aud tilling the ample space within. Milton's magnificent representation of the heavenly chorus is vividly recalled by the rupture of multitudinous human harmony, as felt again aud again iu the chorals of the Coliseum No sooner had th' Almighty ceased, but all The multitude of angels, with a shout Loud as from numbers without number, sweet As from blest voices utteriDg joy, heaven rung With jubilee, and loud hosaunas filled Th' eternal regions.

Do Aot tell ustheu, that the chorus was too large. In the infancy of the art of Great Chorus singing, there is of necessity much bungling which experience will correct. Perhaps pieces have been attempted which were essentially unsuitable to the Great Chorus—so much the worse for the pieces. It is felt by the managers, I believe, that the chorus was not too large, but too long. It ought not to continue more than a week, travel both ways included. Possibly—though an unprofessional mind must make but a suggestion with diffidence—the chorus might be concentrated in more perfect unity by arranging it in a complete circle instead of semi-circle, with the orchestra and leader in the centre. With the auditorium in the same floor, outside the chorus, everybody would be as near the focus of attraction as possible, and the utmost contents, both in singers and hearers, would be enclosed by a given extent of building, in something like the form ot the original Coliseum.

But the one drawback which, more than all imperfections of performance marred the pleasure of the jubilee form, was the multitudinous din of feet that rose everwhere from the flooring, and disputed with its rival chorus the possession of the whole interior. Notice the clarion-like voice that a mountain brook suddenly lifts at the dropping of the sun when the minute, unnoticed bustle of insect life subsides. Or taste once the clear, pure, penetrating thrill of music at the dead of night, when you can hardly believe the sound is earthly. Then im agine if you can the ineffable splendor of one of "those corals, or of an overture from that great orchestra, if it could have been heard alone, clear of the allpervading uproar that hustled and muffled every musical vibration. In a permanent building, therefore, a primary object would be to mat the entire flooring with some soft, noiseless material.

The unfortunate pecuniary result of the jubilee sharply points the more need of certain other experiences. I have already referred to the crushing expense of the great foreign sensations. The great cost of the building is another wholly illegitimate aggravation of the pecuniary incubus. A permanent building provided by the united liberality, pride and self-interest of the locality, is the first essential for success and the figures of the late jubilee demonstrate that under this and other proper conditions, such festivals might be made brilliantly successful in all respects, and would bring great profit and great good to the community as a whole. To this end, among other things, the auditorium should not be above half as large as that of the Coliseum. There is great virtue in having your room a little too small, aud great disadvantage in having it full large. A profusion of space and opportunity, like a profusion of anything else, insures indifference. If you are aware you can go whenever you please, you grow comparatively indifferent whether you go at all. The certainty of finding room in the Coliseum on any day, made people overanxious to select the greatest day only. The public was humored and spoiled until it became unreasonably hard to please, by the superfluous opportunity accorded. If the matter of doubtful calculation for people had been not at what day aud hour they would condescend to accept the entertainment but rather at what day and hour they could manage to get a chance at* it, the desire for it would have been intensified many fold, and the attendance in proportion. The very fact that the Coliseum was well filled on some occasions, and not a tenth filled on others, so far from showing that the maximum space was needed, illustrates the spoiling effect I have alleged. It shows that there were plenty of people to come, but that having it all their own way, they would come only at such times as their preferences were indulged to the uttermost. Giveu a possibility of some bigger day still, they would have slighted the big days themselves, as they did the lesser days.

Again, the Coliseum of 1872 is too large for of any music except/ that of essentially loud instruments. The great organ, alone, was a perfect fit. It seemed to exult over space, ringing into the remotest corners. But no multiplication of sounds, not essentially loud, seems to produce this space-filling effect. Every thing but the organ was isolated, even to the chorus itself. You were not only conscious of the quarter whence the sound proceeded, but if at the opposite extremity of the building, the sound seemed not so much to come from "over there" as to be over there. You listened from afar. As for solos, the voice of Peschka-Leutner herself was to me like the voice of one crying in the wilderness. The ear had to find it it could storm and fill the ear as such a voice should do. A party were directed to their seats by an usher, at a point indicated in the distance on the other side, as "about fifteen minutes' walk." "Dear me!" said the lady, "couldn't we take a horse car?"

Finally, the chorus—which is (with the orchestra) the great matter, the practical matter, and the worthy matter of a national music festival, if it is to be anything but an ephemeral spurt—should be and might easily be more liberally provided for. Its generous contribution to the Jubilee, the members paying all their own expenses, and giving their services and acquirements outright, for weeks together, is the most wonderful and beautiful thing about the whole affair. I have just learned that a poor girl at domestic service (once in my own family) took lessons for many months at her own cost, and attended the many rehearsals of her society, in preparation, went to Boston and sung through the Jubilee, and came back minus sixteen dollars, or about two months' very hard earnings, and half another month of her time. It is pre-eminently the encouraging fact, and the substantial result of the experiment, upon which future operations can be founded. With such a people to draw upon for gratuitous musical service, what cannot be done by a little public spirit and liberality? All the railroads could and should be induced, as the first condition of a future festival, to take their pay for carrying in and back

trained performers, out of the vast crowds of passengers they gaiu by the festival. Probably a sufficiency of private lodgings might be engaged by opeuing for the purpose an office beforehand, at a certain prescribed and modest rate. Certainly a good restaurant at cost prices might be provided for the singers,"without hurting anybody a cent. ^in1.

Senator Sumner's Position. The following letter from Senator Sumner to L.JU. Reavis, Esq., ofStLouifl, Mr. Greeley's late biographer,. will be of interest:

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.

I think that, on reflection, you will not think it advisable for me to write a public letter on the matter to which you call attention. Mr. Greeley and myself have been fellow laborers in many things —we were born in the same year. I honor him much. Between him and another person, who shall be nameless, I am for him earnestly.

Very truly yours, CHARLES SUMNER.

THE humor thatseeins to possess every Freuchman in trying circumstances is remarkable. He seems to resemble in this Mark Tapley, and at once devotes himself to making himself happy under the circumstances. In the petty Tribuneaux of Paris daily examples of this are afforded the visitor. Happening in there one dull winter's morning in '64, among the cases was that ot a man charged with picking a pocket. There seemed no hope for him but a most severe sentence, and the Judge finally asktd him if he would not acknowledge his guilt. He refused to do so, reiterating his innocence. "But your hand was found in the plaintiff's pocket. How do you account for that?" The prisoner promptly replied:—,lParbleu, Monsieur le Judge, j'avais froidaux mains! (Why, your Honor, my hands were cold.) That answer cut his sentence of five years down to six months and a small fine.

A. GUEST at a hotel in Belfast, Maine, on being told that dinner was ready, stripped off his coat, and, accompanied by his wife, entered the dining-room in his shirt-sleeves. A waiter brought Jbim a bill-of-fare, which he regarded curiously, and then laid it down. Pretty soon another bill-of-fare was placed in his plate. Then he arose in his wrath, exclaiming: "I didn't come here to read show-bills. I tame after some dinner."
