Fifteen delegates, representing the three Unrest German musical societies of Cincinnati, the Orpheus, Mmnner-chor, and Germania Mmnnerchor, met in conference for the purpose of discussing the proposed anion of these societies. A brief sbstrnct of the speech**, together with the reso-utione adopted, will gfee eur renders a clear un-demanding of the sentiment end object of the conference.Dr. Buckner called the meeting to order, sod set forth in a few words the object of the meeting, which he took to be the promotion of music. He seked thatpetty difference* ot the put be forgotten sod left out of consideration, and suggested the election of a chairman, u he wu no delegate. Thereupon Francis Ladtpe, Esq., of the Mmunercbor, wu chosen Chairman, and Mr. Braun, Secretary.The Chairman at once called for a discussion of the projected union upon a motion of Dr. Zipperlin, and a quiet but intensely interesting debate, marked by s commendable earnestness and devotion to their art, proceeded.Mr. Cnlhnann, of the Orpheus, said that that society wu unanimously in favor of a anion with the two mmunercbors.Mr. Doerner, of the Mmnnerchor, then entered upon the first lengthy discussion of the subject nutter. The delegates of the Mmnnerchor had no ti instructions as were mentioned by the delegates from the Orpheus. He feared that by the unification, the new societv would receive elements which it would gladly dispense with. There were eartaiu points upon which the Mornuerchor wu uoanimous; ode of these wu that its conductor, Mr Singer, should be retained. This would be made one of the conditions of the union, and with the society wu n question of honor. Another wu that the name of the society should not be dropped. It now posted quite an extensive library, which would be loet to it u toon u the name of the society wu changed. Even though a permanent union were to b* effected, it might still be possible to unite the throe societies for the purpose of giving oocasional concerts, and thus effectually cope with the American element in this respeet.Mr. Kurth thought that the Mmnnerchor would favor the union if a guaranty could be given it that the union would be n luting one.Mr. Braun, of the Orpheus, discussed the troubles which caused the withdrawal of the Orpheus from the Mmnnerchor in former years. One of these wu the encroachments of the passive upon the rights of the active meiqbera. He begged the delegates to lay aside such petty questions u the name and possible director of the new eoeiety.Mr. Doerner claimed that be had been misunderstood. He had not slated conditions precedent, but simply opinions prevailing In the Mmnnerchor.Mr. Meyer, of the Germania, made one of the moat sensible and practical speeches of the evening. The Germania Mmn-nerchor had aisrays favored the projected anion, provided the object to be attained thereby be the erection of a suitable hall for the use of the society. This wu the mrin question. If the union were effected, and a hall built, it would be a guarantee of the continued existence of the new society.The only conditions which the Germania Mmnnerchor might possibly prescribe wouid be, that male choruses should be sung u well as mixed choruses, and, indeed, under the system of the Germania, which demand that the voicee in the cborusee be good ones.| i Regarding the discussion of the name, Mr. Cuilmsnn made the sage suggestion that the child had better be born before it wu christened. ■Mr. Stahl proposed s plan for temporarily forming a union of all the German musical societies in the city, for the purpoee of erecting a hall, and afterward effecting a permanent union, but received no support. Finally a resolution wu unanimously adopted, stating it to toe the mom of the delegates that the three societies form a uniou, but that neither of them bring into the union any pecuniary obligations. A short discussion of the basis of the uniou was then entered into, and the meeting adjourned to discuss the relative qualities of cool lager and the proposed union, after unanimously passing the following resolutions:Retolved, That the present names ot the societies be dropped.Ruokod, That the object of the unioo is the promotion of music sod the erection of s Smengerhsll.SeMhtd, That the delegates be requested to call special meetings of their respective societies, and report to a meeting of delegates to be held in Mmnnerchor Hall on Saturday evening, the 25th InstTbs gether city, of the direct: every *tmoe| fragra fucnai preset A p. be pi grocer meat wu keta. come A i atuoui A a sbowi shouh wi ole He di horse reaaoi went tcrnsl torne;Son city a whenpipe,'•not imatte prow A r lamai xled, were all rig Sev sive t Co til n count the v late i tax o On ward aud o mg dithe A iness Thi presei ted.KeiSliluiWU Vart, v Mr. I someYes Bute acter, aaiooi fonl i Tht upon Bute’ seeinf barm could that havin troub owu, This lt;cause Bui to jai. miehi pocke Courl for li ningf came justglike i the fu and siTbNewpfightspro hawitharrestThi arrest and iyestei Tbi Ely la iugtoi gathe most i Thi regrel thus i inguPrt Hawi tweei Lewii was f it is.MrnanoofHan-bet wi be in tag C
