END OF THE PIANO WAR.
Kauri. Btetnvray A, Bona Victorious.
The disputed question as to the result of the
riano War at the Paris Exposition about which
there were so many blasta and counter-blasts
las boon definitely settled in luvorof Messrs.
Etclnway k Sons, of New York, who have been
Unanimously awarded the First Gold Medal for
American Piano. This medal, as we hare
already noted, is distinctly classified First, and
ever that attained by the Messrs. CuickeriDK.
This essential fact is shown by the following
official certilicate from General Melinet, the
President, and the members of the International
Jury on Musical Instruments:

International Jury,
"Official Catalomie."
account, of all tbe
awards (lecomouUBeai to
the exhibitors at tbe
l'arih Exposition, as Bxel
by the International
Juries and affirmed bv the InDTlal Commission.
In this oflicial rataloarue, dated July 1, lhG7, and
primed since that date, we find, of the Afri
can exhibitors, Messrs. 8teinway recorded firs
on the list, and Messrs. Cliicfcerinst second.
In glancing over the almost inierminable list
of the new "chevaliers" of the Leirion of Honor,
lrom forcien countries, as published in the
ilonitpur of July 2, 187 chevaliers created,
Hcrordin to that official onrau of tbe French
Empire, by the Emperor Napoleon, upon "tbe
recommendation of our Minister of Foreign
Affairs" we find, on comparing the names of
the "knighted" exhibitors with the official Cata
logue of Awards, that quite a number of them
only received seoond, third, and even fourth
prizes. This, together with the fact that not the
slightest mention is made in the official catalogue
ol the Legion of Honor, or recommendation
thereof to any exhibitor, furnishes overwhelm
ing proof that neither the International Juries
nor the Imperial Commission recommended or
even knew of the decoration obtained by a num
ber of exhibitors upon their personal applica
tion to, and through the recommendation of,
the French Minister of Foreign Atlairs.
The triumph of Messrs. Steinway fc Sons, and
of their new system in Pianos, achieved in lace
of tbe most formidable and unscrupulous oppo
sition by the only American and nearly all the
European adherents of the old system In pianos,
Is most complete, and is highly gratifying to tbe
musical public of America. No matter how
Messrs. Cbickering may Insist and strive to
make the public believe that tbe decoration of
the Legion ot Honor, obtained by Mr. F. Ctilek
ering personally, has a connection with the
Awards at the Exposition, the fact is, distinctly
and positively, that it has nothing to do with
tbe matter, and we have yet to see ihe slightest
proof of 'their assertion.
By the unanimous ver lict of the International
Jury on musical instruments the only and
highest tribunal at tbe Paris Exposition the
incontrovertible fact id established before tbe
world that, for American Pianos, Messrs. Stein
way & Sons were awarded the first Gold Medal,
and Messrs. Cbickering the second. New York

Lightning Freaks in West Philadelphia.
Attbe commencement of the shower this morn
ing tbe lightning struck the dwellings of Mr.
Hancock and Mr. Hurrlrige, In Thirty-third
street, north of Baring street, West Phlladel-
r bin, knocking a large hole in the chimney of
he last named gentleman's bouse, from whence
it followed the tin gutter on the roof to the con
ductor, and down the latter to the earth. From
there It glanced about ten feet to the hydrant,
tearing a large hole alongside of it, and raising
the marble water-basin beneath from its bed.
The roof of Mr. Hancock's bouse was ripped
up, and Ihe ratters underneath torn to splin
ters. The bolt then followed the gutter and
conductor to the earth, stopping to thrust a
small bole into his parlor, near the celling,
where some dnmpness had penetrated the wall.
A gentleman living next door was shaving at
the time, and whs partially stunned, but no one
was seriously injured. The report was very
loud, nnd alarmed the neighborhood somewhat,
and wan followed by several other heavy claps
at short lntorvals, allowing that the electric
cloud must have been heavily charged.

and the sacrificial numbers became "small by

aealn the old fighting fever, but this time in

MEETING OF LAWYERS THIS M0RXIXQ.
The Recent Bradley Meeting Disowned.
General Sheridan Romoved.
Etc., Etc., Ete., Kte., Etc, Kte.
WxantNoTox, August 20. A meeting of
aLout thirty members of the bar of the Dis
trict of Columbia was held at the Court llouse
this morning.
lion. F. P. Stanton, on taking the chair, to
which he was called, said: "This assembling
was not for the purpose of expressing au
opinion as to the recent trial of Surratt, or any
thing of a political character. It was un
doubtedly the duty of the lawyer to proteot
lus client, but he should not go to extreme
lengths. When he saw the law was admin
istered, his duty ceased. It seemed strange to
him that in a trial where every word was taken
down and printed for the use of counsel, and
when exceptions to the rulings could so readily
be taken, there should have been any inter
ruptions of the harmonious feelings which
shuuld always exist between the Bench and
the Bar."
A committee waa appointed, who reported a
series of resolutions quoting the order of Judge
Fisher striking the name of Joseph II. Brad
ley, Sr., from the roll of the Court, and de
claring that the meeting of certain gentlemen
held on the 12th instant, to take action on tha
subject, was not a meeting of the Bar, disap
proving of the irregular or extraordinary
methods of renewing the orders or judgments
of the Court; for, in the words of a dis
tinguished author, "If a judge make an
error, it can be corrected in a supe
rior court." To seek to accomplish the
object in any other manner is unprofes
sional. It was a grave error to suppose that
the rights of attorneys could be maintained by
personal vituperation or physical violence.
On the contrary, these rights should be se
cured according to the rules of decorum, re
finement, and professional courtesy.
The resolutions also assert the propriety of
the courts punishing for contempt, and endors
ing the language of the late Chief Justice
Branch on the subject.
After debate, in which Messrs. Riddle,
Thompson, Mussey, and others participated,
the resolutions were adopted, and the meeting
adjourned.
From the Second Military District.
Washington, August 20. The following
order was receiredin Washington to-day:
Headquarters Seoond Military District,
Charleston, S. C, August 17th, 1SS7. First.
Before a post court, convened at the citadel,
Charleston, S. C, July 30th, 18(37, pursuant
to authority from these headquarters, and of
which Brer. Brigadier-General U. S. Clenta
is President, was arraigned and tried William
T. McKelvy, captain ol the steamer Pilot Boy,
Charge Violation of paiagraph 8, General
orders INo. 6Z. Specification in this, that
W. T. McKelvy, Captain of the steamer Pilot
Boy, did refuse to grant first-class ticket and
passage to Miss Frances Rollen, from Charles
ton to lieautort, o. (J., on his steamer, because
of caste or color. AU this at Charleston, b. C,
Monday, July 22, 18o'7.
Plea Not guilty. Finding Guilty. Sen
tence To pay a fine of $250.
Second. The evidence in this case shows
that, on July 22, 1867, the complainant, a re
spectable female, was, because of her color,
refused cabin passage by the accused, who is
the captain of the steamer Pilot Boy, a boat
plying as a common carrier between ports in
this Military District. It was conceded on the
trial that a general rule, enforcing this dis
crimination, had been maintained on board
the boat commanded by the accused.
The guilt of the offender, in thus wilfully
disregarding the provisions of paragraph 8,
General Orders 32, prohibiting such unlawful
distinctions, is confessed and proved. So long
as the laws imposed civil and political disabili
ties because of servitude or color, common
carriers were permitted to enforce the same
discrimination among passengers. Such dis
abilities and usages have ceased, with slavery,
to have any legal sanction. Whatever belongs
of common right to citizens necessarily fol
lows the recognition of the blacks as citizens
and belongs to them.
The obligation of the common carrier is de
fined by a jurist of authority as follows: ,(If
he carry passengers, he must reoeive all who
offer, and treat all alike, unless there be
actual and sufficient reason for the distinction,
as in the filthy appearanoe, dangerous condi
tion, or misconduct of a passenger." (Par
sons on Mercantile Law, p. 207.) The obser
vance of these rules has been enjoined by
orders from these headquarters daily published
for the information and guidance of all con
cerned, and violations of the regulation thus
established must be appropriately punished.
The proceedings, finding, and reudering
are approved.
