MUSICAL. Aftl DKAMATIC.
The Old Mnn'ii llomn I'nnrrrt.
The concert given at tlio Foyer of tbo
Academy of Music on Saturday evening, for
the benefit of tho Old Mun's Home, at Thirty
ninth street and Powelton avenuo, West Phila
delphia, was a gratifying bucccm In every par
ticular. A large audience was In attendance,
and tho handnomo sum of tSOOwas realized,
which will bo devoted to tho extension of tho
bmildlngB of the Homo. This bum, whllo it will
be f material assistance, will fall far short of
what is required to make tho accommodations
such as they ought to bo, and In behalf of tho
ady managers of tho Institution we present its
claims to tho consideration of thoso who are
charitably disposed, with tho hope that they will
aid in the good work of providing for tho aged
and needy.
Tho concert on Saturday evcnlnir Introduced
te the audience some of tho most talented
amateur musicians in the city, and the ladies
and gentlemen who volunteered their services
exerted themselves to tho utmost to make tho
affair pass off In an agreeable manner.
The performance opened with a duo by Mai-
nadicra, which was finely sung by Mrs. E .
and Dr. T . An aria from Verdi's Nabuceo
by Mrs. T was much applauded, as was also
tho trio from Ernani which that lady sung with
Mr. T and Professor Rizzo. Miss W
gave a "fantasia" from Le Uugiienota, arranged
by Thalbcrg, and a "fantasia" from Fau$(,
arranged by Liszt, with a brilliancy and pre
cision of touch that secured the heartiest ap
plause. Mrs. Behrens sang Arditl's valse
L'Kstasi" and secured an encore, In response to
which she gave "The Nightingale Trill" In a
delicious manner. Mrs. Behrens also sang
charmingly with Professor Rizzo in a dno from
Luim Miller. Mr. T sang Abt'u "Good
Night" in capital style, and Mr. Simons executed
a beautiful solo on the zitier, which was in Its
way one of the most pleasing features of the
entertainment. Mrs. E , who was not in the
programme, carao from a sick room to give her
cervices, and sang "Only for Thee" exquisitely.
A "bolero" by Ardlti, rendered by Mrs. R ,
and Mattel's "Non e' ver," by Dr. T , were re
ceived with appreciative applause, as was also
the solo by Lachncr executed by Mrs. E , with
a flute obligato by Mr. C .
The concert was conducted In admirable style
by Professor Rizzo, who exerted himself to the
utmost to make It a success. The entertain
ment was one of the most enjoyable of the kind
that has been given in this city for a long time,
and the audience, the musicians, and the mana
gers of tho Old Man's Homo have all cause for
congratulation.

This morning was heard the case ef the Stock
holders vs. The Directors ef the Mercantile Library
company, air. u. juorg an i-.Kiridge. ior tn relators.
made the closing argument. He commenced by
giving the history of the case and the steps taken
uituarto in tne proceedings, all or which we have
lfore published, lie then argued that the power
of the directors emanated sulely from the stock
holders, aoa mat, ex-neceHmrate mey were euna
by the properly expressed wish of the stockholders;
that such expression had been duly and
legally givea, and that so far the directors
had failed and refused te do as had been
reqnlred; that the question of morality did not
enter Into the discussion. To that the directors had
willlnrlT assented : they were and bad been contem
plating tne opening tne library on Sunday, and were
prepared k qo bo id certain events, lie men
showed that tbe prssent direction came Into nower
upon a quertioa of subscription to the Wextmintiter
jitmetc, it neiug neia ty me oiu noara, wnica tne
present board displaced, as being of atheistical ten
dencies tnereiore claiming mat tne question or
morality came with aa ill grace from directors
elected upon snch an Usue. lie then cited a number
of Instances in which tbe theory of controlling re
presentatives nad received public sanction, sucn as
Benators being bound by tho expressed wish of a
legislature; directors of railroads, elected by cities,
receiving and obeying instructions, and other similar
cases.
He argued and cited authorities to show that the
resolution which Is the subject of dispute was passed
at the regular adjourned annual meeting, after duo
notice to an tne stocKQOKiers, ami wiin an attend
ance larger than the average, and that therefore
such action was the authentic, legal, and binding
decision ef the stockholders, and that the directors
were ex necttxitatt compelled to obey such expressed
wish, and that it is the authentic expression of the
will of the body ef stockholders, at the proper and
legal time and place. In a lugal manner
and in the only way In which they can speak, that
this vote proposed by the board of directors is not
authorized by tne obarter er by-laws; that theqnes
ttea stands squarely with tlieBteckholders. if they
can coniel tbe directors to do anything. In any
way, they (the stockholders) have exercised that
power In a legal manner, if they can eompel any
thing, the opening of the library at snch times as
thej desire certainly falls within their province.
That the directors do net object to the opening of
the library )rr, as required by the stockholders,
bat object te being compelled to do so, the real rea
son seeming to be that the movement did not ema
nate from the board of directors, but from a meet
ing of stockholders.

Washington, April 4 Mr. Morton, of Indiana,
presented a memorial frem prominent members of
the Orthodox Society of Friends or Indiana, setting
forth that that society bad since 1S07 carried on a
missionary work among tbe Shawnee Indians, and
that the lands occupied in the work now amounted
to 820 acres, and were worth about (18,000 or f tti.ooo,
and asking that a deed be made to them for this
land that they may continue their missionary and
reform work upon it.
Mr. Harlan said tbe qaestlon was whether the
land should be disposed of for the benefit of the
Sbawnees, or, as was the general practice In saeh
cases, for the benefit of the Society or Friends or
some other benevolent enterprise as yet unknown.
Mr. Morton thought the society should have the
benefit or the Improvements or the land. Legislation
was now necessary to prevent the Indians from re
pudiating a former agreement, aud selling the land
In order to get the money.

on Indian Affairs.

Mr. Chandler offered a resolution directing that in
the further consideration of the Georgia bill there
shall be neither adjournment nor recess until a final
vote Is taken.
Mr. Tburman objected to the consideration of
the resolution, and It was laid over till to-morrow.
At one o'clock the Senate took up Ike Georgia
bill.
Mr.Stewart moved to strike out Bingham's amend
ment. Mr. Wilson offered an amendment authorising the
continuance of the present Legislature for two years
from Its reorgonlzatlon in January last, provided
that the clause of the State Constitution on the sub
ject shall never be exercised to extend any official
term beyond the regular constitutional period, and
the Legislature to consent te this condition before
the act shall take effect.
Mr. Wllley said the attempt to thrust the Federal
hand forward and dictate to a State what it shall or
shall not do was the initlatian or a process which
must sooner or later absorb lu Congress the whole
powers ot the States.
He haJ never belonged to what was called the
State Rights school. He had rather been the subject
or criticism by them. But it did seem to him tkat
any man who would adopt either the proviso la the
bill or the amendment proposed by the Senator from
Massachusetts ought rorever after to hold his
peace with regard to the interveution of Congres
sional power with the rights or the State. He
thought the true policy was to provide at this time
for a provisional government for Georgia. If the
present bill was to pass, be would move to insert as
a substitute for the Ptngliam amendment a provision
designed to be a warning to the State that Federal
Intervention would follow any attempt to get np a
perpetual government under the authority of the
present LegiKlatnre.
