McCarty, Editor and Publisher. sntdligcttce. Compromises of Criminal Cases, .Several cases of violations of the criminal code having been lately insti tilted in tho County Court, and dropped for the want of prosecution—caused* by J settlement of the parties outside of court—our citizens are earnestly discuss ing the propriety of this mode of pro cedure. There is no question but that all cases w ere the law has been violated to the detriment of the public peace and the good of society, such cases should be prosecuted and' the majesty of the law maintained. But the County Court is powerless to push cases where the prosecutor fails. There are two ways, it appears to us, in whi< h this can be obviated. Either the court to be pro vided with a prosecuting attorney, or where a party institutes suit, to give bond for its prosecution. Individuals, we have always contended, have no right to settle such matters. Law is not for the protection of individ uals alone, but for the preservation of good order and the general well-being of society. The Lincoln Camp Meeting At Wheat’s Camp-ground was a suc cess. T.ere were twelve accessions and about twenty conversions. The church was generally revived. Some twelve families tented on the ground, and of fered the largest hospitality to their guests and visitors. The crowd in attendance from the adjacent counties was not so large as in former years, owing, perhaps, to the very warm weather at the opening, but a good rain having fallen, the weather was delightful. The Presiding Elder, A. G. Worley, C. C. Cary, E. A. Gray, Rivers and Ware were the ministers attending. The sermon on Sabbath morning was a tine discourse, on the family relations and duties, and an unanswerable argu ment for infant baptism. The meeting was pleasant and profit able to all, and good results must accrue to the churches ad country around. Visitob. At Home. We were delighted to welcome to our sanctum last week our young friend, Mr. T. C. Carlton, who graduated with honor at the State University last week. We wish Tommy a useful and noble areer through life, which he will doubt -1 *ss have, if a promising youth can be taken as any indication. We know he has the respect and hearty good wishes of every citizen of the county.

The camp meeting recently in progress at Poplar Springs Camp-ground, about five miles from Franklin Springs, was well attended, and proved an interesting occasion to all present. The meeting was to have closed on ye.Msrday. The results of the meeting, in a spiritual sense, we hope to be able to give hereafter. LACONIQUES. We have heard of a few people about Elberton grumbling simply because some of their neighbors take their rails for firewood. This is simply ridiculous. The Board of Directors of the E. A. Ij. RR. Cos. held its regular monthly meeting at Willis’ schoolhouse yester d'ay. The Board is still hard at work to secure iron for the road, with increasing prospect of success. Not a day or an hour will be lost by this energetic body in securing the material necessary to put the road in operation. We hear many complaints of the chicken disease among our farmers.— Won’t someone invent a cure lor this destructive malady? Our townsmen, Hons. Robt. Hester and E. P- Edwards, are ii attendance upon the Supreme Court. A party of Elbertonians—consisting of Messrs. H. K. Gairdner, J. P. Shannon, Jas. 0. Sanders, and A. E. Hunter left Elberton last Thursday, well provided with camp equipments and all the other paraphernalia for a trip by private con veyance to Toccoa and Tallulah Falls, Nacoochee Valley, and other places of interest. We hope they may have a pleasant trip and return to their old homes in safety. Wanted by a gentleman in Elberton, to rent about twenty acres of land for the purpose of sowing oats—not the ‘•wild oats” of youth, but real, substan tial stovk food. He has tried feeding his Bto k on his neighbors, but'for some un explained reason he is dissatisfied with it. Give him a lift. Observations, W e know of nothing more calculated to make abody say bad words than to be literally covered with heat. The weather is warm enough, but to become acclimated to both is more than any common man can stand. There has been more melons consum ed in Elberton this year than any season since 1874. The grape crop this year is very large. Where vineyards have been tak en care of and properly pruned an extra crop is realized. If there is any place hotter than El berton has been for the last week we can’t imagine the locality, unless it be in—in—Florida. The commencements through the country generally are over, and district meetings, camp meetings, revivals and the watering-places supply their place. Marbles, chess and checkers amuse the average Elbertonian. The gardens have a parched, cooked “appearment,” and vegetables can be served half done without going through the culinary department. It would take 1,111 detectives a couplt ! of weeks to ascertain the precise where j abouts of the j leasure-seekers that have i left Elberton with in the last month. A handsome young gentleman cams , into this office the other day, put on a pair of glasses and began reading, when our devil told him if they were near sighted spectacles he wanted to try ’em, as he couldn’t see far. As apprehended a general lull per vades town. Always a calm after a storm, you kffow. A goodly number of our citizens leave for the district meeting at Toccoa City this week. We imagine to the City it will be like the centennial at Philadel phia ’7G. We know some people whose organs of visions are so acute that they can without trouble distinguish one person from another a dark night at a distance of a quarter. We have heard nothing recently from that man who promised to bring us that large melon. Our satan has been to the country and returned and he says lie's still un happy. Chickens are monstrous scarce herea bouts now. Owing we suppose to the number of Methodist preachers in the county. “All the boys’’ have returned from the schools, and are spending the vacation about town. The exercises of the Andrew Male High School commences on Monday next. We trust the institution will open with an increase of numbers compared with last session. Prof. Wren, still continues to turn out the finest pictures ever made in this section. We don’t see how we can add anything to what has already been said in this paper concerning his qualifi cations. “Why persecutetli thou me ?” would n doubt have been the language of a melon we saw a man devouring the other day, if it could have spoken. But, alas ! Riotous Demonstrations. On two occasions within the last two weeks the negroes on the place below Elberton, known as Farm Hill, have made riotous demonstrations, endanger ing life and greatly disturbing the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. In their first demonstration, which occur red last Saturday night a week ago, Mr. Tinsley R. White, who owns the farm, endeavored to quell the disturbance, when he was rudely assaulted, knocked down and badly bruised, and would probably have been killed but for the in terference of some of the more orderly of the crowd. The I lberton Schools. Our schools commence their fall term next Monday. It is to be hoped that efforts wid be used to have more credi table schools here the next term, so far as numbers are concerned, than we had the last. With teachers as good as can be found anywhere, it does seem that it would take but slight effort to get up such schools as would be a credit to the county. Rain Wanted. There is a dry streak in this county, embracing Elberton, where a good season has not been had in four weeks, and in some portions five weeks. In some parts of this streak the crops are suffer ing badly for rain, and the yield must necessarily be cut off. In most of the other portions of the county, we are glad to say, the reports are encouraging. Crops in the Section Above Elbert. A gentleman who recently visited parts of Hart and Franklin counties, in cluding that portion about the head waters of Beaverdam creek, gives en corn-aging accounts of the condition of crops there. He thinks they will aver age better than at this time last year. There has been no suffering from drought, but the farmers are now be ginning to feel the need of rain. County Court. The State vs. Amanda Gray, a person of doubtful color—assault and battery. This case was ably prosecuted by Col. S. Newton Carpenter, and defended by Capt. J. Sam. Barnett, with that zeal and energy that is characteristic of that gentleman, and at one time the balances seemed about evenly poised, but Amanda in her statement knew a little too much about the case, and his Honor, in all the leniency for which he is proverbial, said five and costs. Judge James Jackson and Col. E. L. Bleckley, the newly appointed Justices of the Supreme Court, are highly spoken of by the papers throughout the State. Special Ccr.'espondeuce of the Gazette,] Commencement Exercises of the Seventy- Fourth Session of the University of Georgia, Ang. Ist., 1875. SUNDAY. Notwithstanding the excessive heat of the morning, at 10|- o’clock the chapel was pretty well filled with citizens and visitors. The exercises were opened with a thrilling song from the Universi ty choir. This choir is composed of se lect singers from the several choirs of the different churches, and it is therefore needless to add that the music was of the very highest order, sweet, thrilling, perfect, while the thoughtful were contemplating the power of song, and the more emotional were lost in rapture. At this auspicious moment Dr. Tucker rose, read the parable of the talents ard announced as his subject “The Repon sibilities of Educated Men.” His text, was taken from Luke xii—48, “For un to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.” The doctor set out in his usual explicit and logical way, and showed that men are responsi ble for all, and nothing more than they have—including opportunities as well as actual attainments. The text is confin ed to those who have much, and the subject confines it to those who have much of learning, the educated To men who have in their heads something better than the bawble which kings wear on their heads. Education increases the development of men. It makes a philosopher of a tallow chandler. The educated and un educated may be compared to a good and bad swimmer on a mighty current. The latter is borne down by the stream, though exerting himself to the utmost. The former is carried safely on, bound ing with the tide. The destruction of the one, is but the triumphal car of the other. No capital so rapid in its multiplica tion as intellectual capital. Increased education brings increased religious re sponsibilities. Increased knowledge brings increased humility; for as re sponsibility increases with knowledge, the more we know, the more we owe to God and man. Educated men have an increased power over men’s minds.— They are, therefore, responsible for the actions of others in so far as they can influence them. And we are responsi ble, not only for what we are, but what we might and ought; to be; not only for what we have done, but what we might and ought to have done. It is, then, a serious and an awful thing to be an educated man. Educated men make all laws, inventions, etc., and take the lead in all important business. The world is, indeed, what the educated make it; and they are responsible for it. The educated man who lies on his oars is like the slothful servant. He buries his talent in his diploma, and like the slothful servant he meets with the scorn of men and the frown of Heaven. But the man who uses his education for good, benefits mankind and receives a handsome reward. In conclusion an earnest appeal was made to the graduating class to spend their talents as faithful servants. The analysis is of course imperfect, a3 not-h ing could be left out without injury to the discourse. It was a splendid ser mon, lasting but 55 minutes, very much to the surprise of those students who had heard, from some source, that it was going to la t four hours. At o'clock, p. m., the annual address before the i T M. C. A , was delivered by Gen. C. A. Evans of Augusta. The Presbyterians, kindly offered the asso ciation their elegant and commodious church, and the services were conse quently. held there. The audience was very large and quite attentive. Text, Luke ii—52, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” The subject was very suitable for the occasion; and it was treated in the general’s own happy style. The introduction consisted in a general description of the earthly growth of Christ; his discipline and education, with a beautiful picture of his life ; his home in a little city on a hill, overlook ing a lovely vale. Christ was represent ed there as ministering to man and to society. Society was mixed then as it is now, and Jesus taught them to use the good and shun the evil. Then He was represented as being c blistered un to First the ministry of nature to na ture’s God Jesus loved solitude ; and nature obeyed his voice. At his com mand the storm ceased to rage, and the winds hushed at his rebuke. Jesus lov ed figurative language because it was taken from nature. And all creation aided him in liis ministry, by its teach ings of God It is false science that leads to infidelity. Grace unites the highest science with true religion. The one is but the handmaid of the other. Secondly the ministry of God to the child of God. The star in the east was none other than the minister of God. Jesus’ talk with the doctors showed that he had been taught by his Father. The dove was a tnessen ger diiect from heaven. He spake as never man spake, because he felt as nev er man felt. There was a sympathy be tween Him and God. His life was a triumph, and his death a grander tri umph still. In conclusion the general offered the life of Christ as thus delineated, for the imiration of all young men. MONDAY. The Athens baud is furnishing music for commencement, and their new in stillments help out the music wonder fuliy. At o’clock this morning the Sophomore declamation began. The aspiring Sophs marched boldly to the front, bearing as their motto : “Soft as the fleeces of descending snows, The copious accents fall with easj’ art; Melting they fall, and sink into the heart.” The remarkable manner in which each one distinguished himself elicits much comment, but the number of speeches prevent. THE CHAMPION DEBATE. The champion debate took place to night at o’clock, Gen. Gordon pre aiding. Subject under discussion was : “Would it be inexpedient for the United States, as States, to adopt a system of compulsory education ?" The affirma tive was argued by P. A. Stovall, Ath ens, R. M. Hodge, Houston, and Lott Warren, Americus, of the Demosthenian Society; and F. R. Clark, Augusta, J. T. Graves, Leesburg, and J. H. Lump kin, Athens, of the Phi Ivappi So ciety, espoused the negative. The sub ject was a live one and the debate quite spirited. Each speaker proved himself a champion, indeed, and well worthy to deliberate upon such momentous ques tions. If any distinction is to be shown any of the speakers, Lott Warren de serves it. His effort, which was extern pore, in large part, was exceedingly fine. After the debate, Gen. Gordon spoke in very high terms of the debate. He said the argument was the most exhaus tive he had ever heard from boys, and ado and them to do as well when tney met in the councils of the nation. Hj said he was proud to own them as his young countrymen. He said that the affirma tive had choice of sides of the question, and as the negative had sustained a bad cause so well, the decision was made in their favor. TUESDAY.—JUNIOR ORATORY. This is anew feature of commence ment, or rather an old one revived. For several years past the juniors have tak en no part in the commencement exer cises. This was done away with and theold method adopttd by the trustees one year ago, and it is one of their ac tions which we can commend. The ora tors were chosen by the faculty accord ing to their standing in the regular course of studies, just as the seniors are; and as it is not always the case that the best students are the best speakers, some probably were disappointed in the junior and senior speaking. Immediately after the junior speak ing, which was not lengthy, the address was delivered before the two Literary Societies, by Howard B. Van Epps, Esq., of Atlanta. The appearance on tho stage of this young, gifted Georgian enthused the audience with new life, and his first words riveted their attention. Such elegance of bearing, grace of de livery as well as intonation of the voice, is very rare. This youthful orator, who graiuattd but a few years ago at the University of Georgia, bids fair to reach such in eminence in oratory as the Uni versity would delight to have, Georgia would be proud to claim, and which America need not blush to own. His subject, though not announced, was apparently a comparison between America and the mother country. He pictured England in the dark ages when superstition ruled the land—when the decree of the king or the demands of the church were the sole rule of action— what the Europeans thought of the new country. They claimed it was a place where “The deser. blossomed and the bower sang,V A place which could boast of “Dew-drops at day-spring on a seraph's locks, Roses that bathe about tlie well of life Gems leaping in the coronet ot love.” ' Hi America it is different. Here su peistition gives place to reason and am bition to justice. Americans are more liberal in their view s ; they ask not what the king and clergy say, but what is right. They scrutinize all things, and approve >r condemn as tlia test indicates truth or falsehood. Doubt or skepticism is a characteristic of the American peo pie, and it is the very mother of progress. America is a vestibule of innovation, but the critical eye of our countrymen has pointed out what to accept and what to reject. And now America has grown among nations, so that proud England, with all her boasted nobility, cannot produce greater names. It has been said by sarcastic foreigners, that America has no past. Let it be so; but she has at least a living present, and auspicious omens for a resplendent future. For eigners may sneer at American states manship, but it was that, linked with American chivalry, which raised this country from the slave of Briton to a child of freedom—to a nation among nations. Not only so, it was the advice of Jefferson that set the crown of France at defiance, and made a free government in the lap of royalty. During the XVII and XVIII centu rios, reason reached the throne for which she had so long and so nobly striven. Thought, reason and intelli gence led America out into the constel lation, and made her a sun in the galaxy of nations. Let pope or king transgress and the sons of intelligence will br ng ! him to account. Every Caesar has his Brutus, and every Charles I. his Crom well. ill conclusion, he pointed out to the societies, in a delicate manner, such men as Stephens, Hill and Gordon for them to emulate, and bade them God speed in the art which is the motive power of nations. V hen the orator had taken his seat someone near me remarked, with a good deal of enthusiasm, “He speaks like a man of forty.” Another said, “He beat3 Ben Hill.” Just after the address, Dr. Tucker asked him to deliver the medals to the successful Sophomores. He did so in a most happy, pleasing and apposite man ner. W. M. Howard received the first prize, and V. G. Zachary the second. THE LEVEE. At o’clock P. M. the library room was brilliantly lighted up, and soon the crowd began to assemble. When a lady and her escort entered, they were con ducted by an usher to the other end of the room, where they were presented to the lady elect, Mrs. Tucker, and to her lord the Chancellor. They would then join the grand Venician promenade. This consists of two circles of couples, a large and a small one—the large cm bracing the small one, and the two trav eling in contrary directions. Thus we have “a wheel within a wheel,” with the little one going the “wrong” way. A string band was stationed in the centre, while the brass band played outside the larger ring. There was no lack of music on this occasion, nor was there a dearth of human beings. The room was literal ly crammed all the time, and a crowd marched to and from the room all the time. In short, everybody was at the levee, and I imagine the Doctor ami his estimable lady were a little tired of smiling and bowing low before all that prodigious host had been served Vari ous opinions were expressed concerning the levee. Some pronounced it the biggest thing of the season ; others called it a splendid failure. For my my part, I agree with the men who styled it a consummate humbug. It is not necessary to add that this is also a new feature of commencement. Judge Jackson, of Macon, was to have delivered the Alumni Address on Tuesday evening, but, he was called off to Atluuta by some duties connected with his Judge ship. So the Alumni hud no address. W EliN EBDAY COMM EN OEM ENT DAY. The Senior’s spoke in the following or der :W. H. Fleming, Augusta—“ Amb ition.” I). H Hardy, Texas—“ The Oen tennial.” J. H. Lumpkin, Athens—“ There are Hands Untwisting all the Chains that tie the Hidden Soul of Harmony.” P. G. Smith, Aiibama—Excused T. P. Vin cent, Athens—“ Evolution of Forces” P. A. Stovall, Athens —“Science.” P ■ N. Stornes, Augusta—“l dare do all that may become a M.n, Who dares do more is None.” Carlisle Terry, Columbus—Ex cused. G F. Gober, Marietta—“A Career.” J. I. Inghrutn, Gordon Co.—“ Our Alma Mater ” There is do room for special comment. The speeches were all well written, but except two or three instances, they were poorly delivered. The audience could readily distinguish those who had been ac tive in the Lberary Societies Iroin those who had not. After the Senior speaking, the Univer sity prize medals were presented. The degrees were then awarded. We are glad to report a large increase in the number of diplomas taken this year, bast year only twenty-four were awarded; this year there were forty-two. this i veiling at 4 o’clock, the Alumni and regular members of each Literary So ciety m. tin their respective halls. 1 can report what the Dcniostheniuns only did. The medals were delivered to the successful candidates who were published two months ago. Lott Warren was tiie chosen orator lor the occasion. His speech was very ap propriate and beautiful. We then had speeches from Gen. Gordon, Col. Billups, lion. Samoei Hall and others. THE COMMENCEMENT HOP, To-night the worshippeis ol Terpsichore met at Dupree’s Hall, where the lestive and the gay are wont to be. As lam a stranger to the nimble goddess, 1 did not. witness the hop. But some ouc has said the students have better use of their heels than their bruins, and as I have seen the brain exhibition, I may safely say that the hop was not a failure. Marius. A private letter from Athens says an ex amination of the floor of the Library, where Dr. Tucker held hi-i levee, and which gave two distinct premonitions of giving way that night whilst five hundred people were upon it, revealed the fact that it sunk three and one-half inches. In addition to the people, the floor held liftecn tons ot books. Had it fallen, there would have been the most frightful calamity ever heard of in Georgia Even now it makes one tremble to think of it.—Constitutionalist. Notice for Leave to Sell La red.
