K. K. COMMITTEE.
General Wrights* Testimony.
General A. R. Wright, in his testimony
to-day, said ho is a practicing lawyer and
editor of the Augusta Chronicle and Sen-
iind. The people of Georgia are peace
ful and law-abiding. The laws aro as
fully enforced as they were before the
war. His law practice, he said, covers
the counties. He stated, from personal
knowledge, that the negroes enjoy all the
privileges of the courts, and juries seem
rather inclined to favor the negroes. Ho
prosecuted a white man for killing a ne
gro, who was convicted of manslughter
and sentenced for the full term of the
law. The same court convicted a white
man for killing a negro, and he was sen
tenced to bo hung tho first Friday in
September. While these trials were pro
gressing
Twelve White Men of Washing-ton County
wero arrested and carried one hundred
and thirty milea from their homes to an
swer before a Federal commissioner, for
assault on negroes and, after imprison
ment for several days and much expense,
they were acquitted.
Wright said be had no reason to be

in Georgia, for political purposes. He
knew of a band of marauders, like Mur
rell’s gang, extending through a portion
of tho conties of his District. The men
convicted in Washington county were
suspected of belonging to the gang.
A .Van Warned Beene,
who was convicted by a military commis
sion for killing a negro, and who was
pardoned by President Johnson, has been
convicted of killing another man and
sentenced to be hung. Ho has been re
prieved by Governor Bullock, and his
ultimate pardon, his friends say, de

PRESENTATION OF PRISES TO SOPHOMORE
READERS, DY HON. W. T. ANDERSON.
Miss Rogers considered niHTOitY
as an ever-present, ever-speaking,
ever-admonishing lesson, repfotc with
examples of the loftiest virtues and
tlie lowest crimes—at the same timo
an encouragement and a warning to
the world-faring man in this tedious
journey of life. Her essay was well
written, aud her language accurately
chosen—evincing a clear knowledge
of the use of synonymes—a test of
good composition.
Miss Trimble, with more fear than
trembling, that we might enjoy “The
Pleasure of Traveling, placed ns un
ceremoniously aboard of a palatial
sleeping car on tho Union Pacific,
where she bade us, in an serial flight
across the continent, as it were, take
bird’s-eye view of the prairies and
rivers and mighty mountains of the
West. She considered that, in trans
porting facilities, there had been
some improvement since Baulom’s
ride.
Miss Borzeman made some severe
strictures on tlie partiality which
Southern people had for foreign lit
erature; on the neglect of culture
and study by almost every young
graduate, and thopauoity or Southern
female writers. This was one of the
happiest efforts of tho evening, win
ning prolonged applause.
Miss Morris told us that tho cloud
separating us from the future was a
veil of mercy, that concealed many
trials, disapi>ointincnt8 and hours of
unhappiness.
Miss Anderson, after telling us
this was an advanced age, and one
of continued progress, admonished
ns to be “ up and doing,” if we hoped
to keep pace with its onward strides.
Althongh Miss Ryburn stated
that when illustrious poets had failed
to picture a mother’s love it was not
expected of a Junior school-girl; yet
her delineation of a mothers affec
tion was true and faithful, abounding
in' much true filial sentiment She
instanced Thos. H. Benton’s mother,
whose exhortations preserved that
man from many tempting vices—
chewing, drinking and gaming. It
was'an excellent composition, and
every sentiment was re-echoed in tho
prolonged applause that greeted its
reading.
Immediately succeeding tlie last
reading Mr. Rogers introduced to the
audienoe Hon. W. D. Anderson, whom
in the absenoe of Rev. Mr. Cooke, he
had selocted to deliver
TnE MEDAL
to the best Sophomore reader us deci
ded by the committee. After telling
them that many of them must be dis
appointed, and none defeated, for the
great contest was yet to come, ho ad
monished, tLat struggles, defeats and
victories constituted life’s record, and
they shared tho common lot of all.
He impressed upon them the dignity
of the contest in which they had been
engaged; told them how a single good
reader had transported a host of sol
diers in reciting tho details of tho bat
tle of Waterloo; drew a glowing pic
ture of tho home circle; enoouraged
them to persevere; exhorted them to
do their duty to their consciences, to
their minds, to each other, and then
to God—and they will havo fulfilled
their destiny. Mr. Anderson then
said:
“I havo tho honor to confer this
medal, this badge of distinction, upon
Miss Olie S. Wallace, in consideration
of her excellent performance lost
evening.” [Applause.]
As wo said before, Rev. Arminius
Wright, of Atlanta, delivers tho an
nual address this morning, and tho
annual concert takes place this cvcn-
ing.
Wo cannot refrain from commend
ing Marietta as one of tho most agree
able summer retreats within our
knowledge. Its little gem of a park
(in which a brass band discourses
sweet music): its National Cemetery,
and the surrounding grandeur of the
mountains, are attractions that are
not to be overlooked. But conspicu
ous among all these is the Kennesaw
House and its elegant accommoda
tions. Its dining-room teems with
the “variety and spice” of life. We
commend to public patronage Uncle
Henry Peter, tho butler of this de
partment. He is a South Carolinian
—cotemporary of John C. Calhoun—
nnd administers the functions of his
office with tho wisdom of a sago. But

Persecution-National Cemete
ry—Addresx by Rev. Arminius
Wright.
Kbnne8aw House, 1
Marietta, Ga, July 27, 1871. j
Editor Sun : Ours is an alarming
susceptibility. Two weeks have
passed since we were writhing under
the blaze of the W. P. C. beauties of
Macon—absence enough to dispel
any ordinary enchantment, but yes
terday, when one of these wandering
meteors passed by with its soft purple
light, we were thrown into hopeless
lunacy. We have been whistling
“ Her bright Smiles Haunt me Still,
ever since.
Why this persecution ? Not con
tent with tho mischief already perpe
trated, they have in the M. F. College
at this place, a number of siren beau
ties, who, I suppose, aro in their se
cret service to tantalize their already
heart-broken victim.
THE NATIONAL CEMETERY,
in which are buried somo ten or
eleven thousand Federal soldiers, is
one of the attractions in tho way of
scenery at this place. Tho grounds
are beautifully and systematically ar
ranged. The graves are marked by
wooden headboards, on which aro in
scribed the number corresponding
to the names on the record. Borne
have marble shafts erected over their
remains, the last tribute of friends or
relations. Wo noticed one monu
ment
WITHOUT ANY INSCRIPTION.
The explanation given was, that the
comrades of tlie deceased purloined
the shaft from one of the marble
yards in Atlanta, and placed it over
the remains of tho dead. Whioh of
the marble yards lays claim to this
lost tombstone ?
Tho address by Rev. Arminius
Wright before the College this morn
ing, on
USEFULNESS,
was elegant, abounding in many
happy allusions and illustrations con
nected with the past and present men
and Women of action of tho world.—
Action, lie said, was the, law of the
mind, and that mind ought to be con
secrated to tho service of Him who
gave it, by glorifying Him and lov
ing his creatnres. lie admonished
tho young ladies to remain in the
sphere in which God had assigned
tlicm, and to do the duty so clearly
designated in His law. He told them
