Below we give the text and subject on which the ministers of the various church es will discourse this morning : Catholic—Father John will preach in the morning and at night upon the “In fallibility of the Pope of Rome; not theologically, bnt to human reason. Baptist—Rev. A. B. Campbell will dis course.from II Cor., 3d and 18th. Sub ject, “Christian Growth.” St. Lake—Rev. F. A Brandi will preach from Matthew 13th and 28th. First clause: “An enemy hath done this." Subject: “Satan’s work in this world:” Episcopal—Rev. W. 0. Hunter—St. Luke Cth and 41st, viz: “Why behold- est thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” The Gospel for the day. Presbyterian—Rev. J. H. Nall—from Jerimiah 17tb, 9th and 18tb, viz: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Broad Street Methodist—We failed to get a report from this church, but all may be assured that they will be reward ed by attending. St. Paul—The pastor, Rev. J. S. Key, will fill the pulpit, and though we failed to get the text, subject, eto. We assure all attending a profitably spent hoar. Through the neglect of members of the latter churches we, as stated above, failed to get a report. It shall not occur again. PROSPERITY. For several years it has but seldom been our pleasure to record the prosperi ty of any class or individual ia our midst. We like to see individuals and communities prospering. Oar merchants as a rale have done a good business for the past three years to hold their own. An exception to the rale is onr townsman, Mr. James A. Lewis. Scarcely two years ago, Mr. Lewis purchased the two large store houses, No. 152 and 154 Broad Street. His business has so enlarged that it now becomes necessary to have more room, and he is now altering and enlarg ing his premises by adding forty feet in length, and raising the roof so as to add beauty and comfort to the rooms. The improvements will be completed and the stores occnpied by September 1st. Number 152 will be used as a wholesale, and No. 154 as a retail establishment- Mr. Lewis,like all onr successful business men, has by his integrity and rigid atten tion to his business, built np, from small beginnings, one of the largest dry goods businesses in the State. His wholesale establishment will compare favorably with any in onr larger cities and his re tail would do credit to a metropolis. We are glad to see Mr. Lewis making such extensive improvements as indicates that he is prospering. Mr. Lewis is a youug man, being about thirty years of age. His rapid strides towards being one of onr leading wholesale and retail mer chants is gratifying to his many friends who have never failed to endorse him, not only as a gentleman and good bnsi- ness man, bnt as a man of the strictest probity and unswerving honesty. Mr. Lewis,while his stores are being enlarged, is occupying one of the large store rooms under the Rankin House, where he and a score of clerks can be found ready and willing to wait upon their friends.

The examination of the pupils of this institution began Thursday and will end next Thursday, on which day the trus tees will visit every room of the school. On that occasion they will determine who shall be promoted to a higher class. Professor Battle has made an average of the five highest men in his class whose names will be read out publicly at their exhibition Friday in the Opera Honse. He will also award a medal to the highest in deportment, Latin and general average in studies severally. At the exhibition or final exeroises Friday there will be a class reading by the Grammar girls, and six of these will read pieces separately. There will also be a class reading of the boys, and six of these will read as the six above. After this diplomas will be de livered and this will close the term.

This olass shows wonderfnl advance ment and is a credit to themselves and the lady who furnished instrnotion. The prize for scholarship was the object of close contention and emulous undertak ing between a number of the scholars. Those who won them richly deserved the gifts of their accomplished teacher.

PITIB FINNXGAN, WHITE, SENTENCED TO TWENTY TEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY, AND HENRY ANDERSON, COLORED, TO SEVEN YEARS—OTHERS TO SHORTER TEEMS ASD CHAIN-GANG. On yesterday Judge Crawford sentenced the following: Hogan Sedbory, for larceny, was fined fifty dollars and oost, and upon failure to pay to serve six months on the chain- gang. Ten days shall elapse before this sentence shall go into effect, and thirty days will be allowed for the payment of the fine. This young man was soundly advised as to the proper course to pursue hereafter. His character was scarcely formed, and the way of virtne is still open for him to pursue and become a good man. Colambns Wilkins, colored, was sen tenced to only four months on the chain- gang for larceny, as he had always been known to be a negro of good character, and as he did not break into the house, but on entering discovered property which be was tempted to steal. Feagau Everett, colored, for laroeny, was sentenced to four months on the chain-gang. The sentenoe had been made short because counsel had said, and per haps shown, that he had never been a ne gro of bad character previous to this ac - cusation. Andrew Jones, a colored boy, was sen tenced to pay fifty dollars and oost, and in default thereof, to serve six months on the chain gang. Allen Davis, colored, for larceny was fined fifty dollars and cost, and npon failure to pay, to serve six months on the chain gang. Lewis Solomon, colored, was sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang for stealing a cow. Jnlius Johnson, colored, for laroeny, was sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang. After sentenoe was passed, Cary Thornton, Esq., his counsel, appear ed in coart and asked that the sentence he shortened in that Julius had on several occasions assisted the jailer in preventing prisoners from escaping. When the pris on was broke sometime ago, he did not try to get away, hut aided all that he could in captaring them. The sentence was ac cordingly reduced to one half the time, six months. William Biggers, colored, for unlawful ly shooting into a crowd and wonnding a man was sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang. He told William that not one in forty thousand ought to have a pistol. Prudent men never have any nse for a pistol. He should sell his pistol when the sentence shall have been served and buy a Bible and hymn book instead, and learn the ways of the righteous and become a good oitizen. Henry Davis, colored, for stealing a cow, was sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang. Frank Madden, colored, was sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang for assault and battery. J. D. Headley was sentenced to twelve months in the penitentiary for assault with intentto murder. His case had been ap pealed to the Supreme Court, the deoision of the lower court was confirmed and con sequently he was required to abide by the first sentence as mentioned above. Henry Anderson, colored, for attempt ing to kill, was sentenoed to seven years in the penitentiary. The eiroumstanoes in this case were much worse than in the one just above. Peter Finnegan, for voluntary man slaughter, was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary, the extent of the law. Counsel for the convicted asked the Judge to postpone sentencing a few days, until a petition, containing reasons, for lenient cy could be drawn np and presented to him. Judge Crawford said that he’d carefully considered the matter in connec tion with the evidence and had folly made np his mind. It wonld be but tilling with the hopes of the convioted man’s friends to delay passing sentence, as the die had been fully cast in his judg ment and there could be no change under the evidence and facts in the case. He told Finnegan that he’d been oonvieted of next to the highest in crimes known to the law. His counsel, by good faith, skill and ability, had saved bis life. Twice standing before him (the Judge) he had beeu sentenoed to death and had been twice relieved. It was not that the Coart or jary did wrong that he was re lieved, bnt perhaps it was the interven tion of a kind Providenoe. Although the jury might havefonnd him gnilty of mur der in accordance with the law, yet he (Judge) was quite content with the ver dict. Punishment mast be consistent with the character of crime. The victim now sleeps in death with fourteen mortal wounds inflicted by his (Finnegan's) hand, and perhaps many of them were made after he was dead. “The dead man has dear ones as well as you,” continued the Judge, and he must be made to suffer somewhat as the bereft ones had. Jnst here Finegan asked for mercy, bnt with out any feeling manifested either in ex pression or tone, bat undoubtedly it was within. The Judge answered him that it was not he, bnt the law that punished him, and that it was the most painfnl duty that belongs to the bench for him to inflict hnman punishment. As hard as it is, however, considering the interest that he felt in him, yet he was bound to sen* tence him to twenty years in the peniten tiary. Coart adjoarned to Monday, at 9 a. h., when Jndge Kiddoo and Judge Crawford will exchange oirenits for a week. Uniform for the Officers of the Ventral Line. Messrs. Thomas 4 Prescott have an or der to manufacture uniforms for the offi cers of the Central Line of Boats. They will consist of neatly trimmed suits and caps of navy bine doth. On the cape, in a golden wreath, will be the rank pf each officer, from clerk to first commander. The suits will be trimmed like citizens’ suits, with the exception of Georgia State brass buttons on coat, pants and vests. Although it is the custom on Northern steamers for all officers to be uniformed, it is something new on onr river. It is a good idea, and a stranger going on hoard a steamer will know by their caps who to address for information. They will be completed in about ten days. Choral Union. The Choral Union will meet in Springer Opera Honse next Monday night. They are practicing for their oouoert to he given •boat July 1st. THE SEPARATION. (BY matt o’b.) The bride of an hour stood smiling; Her mother in tears was near by ; For the “pet of her life,” so beguiling, Was soon to bid her good-bye. Fond friends tried vainly to eheer her, To stop up the tears that fast fell. As she clasped her daughter still nearer And in agony uttered, “Farewell!” The groom with his bride had departed, To journey for off in strange lands, And the mother cried out, broken hearted: u WeU! Pia glad that gaTs off my hands'' THE KILLING OP CAPTAIN CAT. E8BY JONES IN SELMA. Captain Catesby F. Jones, who was second in command of the ironclad Mer- rimac at the time she nearly destroyed the Federal fleet in Hampton Roads, died in Seims, Ala., on Thursday last from wounds received at the hands of A. J. Harrall, a leading merchant of that place, the day previous. From all the information we can gather it seems that Jones’ son, aged 7, and Har- rall’s son, aged 10, became involved in a difficulty and fought—young Jones whip ping Harrall. Upon investigation, Mrs. Jones found her boy was to blame, and wrote an apologetic note to Mrs. Harrall, who was a near neighbor, and made her boy carry the note with instructions to apologize to young Harrall, and also to give some fruit to the latter to add to the pleasantness. On the arrival of young Jones, Mrs. Harrall, without perceiving the note at all, told her boy he had to whip J’s boy, whereupon they fought, which would have re sulted in a second victory for Jones, but for the interference of Mrs. Mabry, who took young J. home, aud told Capt. Jones of the fact. He got his hat and usual walking cane and went to Harrall’s. Arrivfbg at the residence, he was asked by H. if he came for a difficul ty. He answered “No, but you acted very contemptibly in allowing the boys to fight.” Other words ensoed, and Harrall, drawing a pistol, shot Jones in the right breast, from which he expired the follow ing day. The preliminary investigation was held yesterday, the resnlt of which we failed to hear. Gen. Pettns is among the proseouting lawyers in the case. Nominations in Russell County. At the Convention of the Democratic party in Russell county, Ala., yesterday, the following candidates for county offi ces were nominated : Sheriff—W. H. Alexander. Tax Collector—B. M. Henry. Tax Assessor—J. N. Owens. Treasurer—Dr. Williams. County Commissioners — Dr. N. S. Long, J. P. Walker, George Hayns, N. T. Nuckolls. We congratulate friends “Pony” and “Bev” on their buccgss. We have both written previously and telegraphed yesterday to Opelika to learn the nominees of Lee county, bnt have obtained no response. Personal. L. E. O’Keefe, formerly a merchant of this place, but now of Charleston, S. C., is in the city on a visit to his friends. CRIMINAL CONDUCT. There was a young man at the Georgia Home corner last night whose conduct was snuh as deserves the attention of the Solicitor. We were informed that his name ia Daniel McKenzie. He attacked two colored men and strnck at them as if with a knife, and they said that he did have it in his hand. Several gentlemen were standing near, and he forced them to move off the sidewalk, as he would start toward them in a threatening man ner, apparently to strike with a knife. He was going on toward a colored man, who, on ordering him to come no farther, was forced to ran, as he was afraid of being injnred, and was followed by this apparent maniac and overtaken as he (the pursued one) fell near Hochstrasser’s comer. The assanlter appeared to make several strokes at him while down, bnt the latter halloed so “earnestly” that the fellow ran off rap idly toward the river, down St. Clair street. McKenzie appeared t</ be drank when he first went to the Georgia Home ooraer, but in pursuing “his man” he ran like a race horse. Five or six gentle men were present and witnessed the fero cious, brutal and disgraceful conduct. It appeared to all present to be that of a determination to have a fight and most especially blood. Troy **Bloods" Get Bulldozed. The Troy “Bloods” B. B. C., who or ganized for the purpose of playing and “bulldozing” the “Scrubs” of this city, were “done for” in a charming style by the Union Springs clnb. At the end of nine innings the score stood: Troy Bloods, 17; Union Springs, 27. The Troy Enquirer, in reply to a short article in these columns, says for the Scrubs to send on the challenge, We un derstand that the “Bloods” organized for the express purpose of playing onr boys, and if so they should be the challenging party. Bnt before they do so/twould be advisable to praotice a little more, as the Scrubs are a “team” hard to match.* Sent to Jail. The idiotic negro boy who has been in the gnard-honse for some days was yes terday sent to jail nntil he can be tried for lunacy. He rendered some service while in the gnard-honse, viz : Scaring a negro so badly that he recalled Mr. Joines and agreed to confess, “ef yon’il jist take me oat ob here from dis crazy fellow.” Sensible Advice.

AHflUAL REPORTS OF OFFICERS. $800,000 OF DEBT TO CENTRAL RAILROAD REDUCED FROM 8 TO 4 PER CENT. INTER EST, $200,000 FROM 8 PER CENT. T«J 6 PER CENT. —MORTGAGE — EXPENSES REDUCED TO $1,148 62 PER MILE—EARNINGS OVER LAST YEAR—$17,063 47—EXPENBES DE CREASED $3,660 32. The fiscal year of the Mobile and Girard Railroad Company ends Jane 1st. We have been furnished with a oopy of the officers’ reports which we condense. The road paid $57,238 82, its intereskon bond ed debt at 4 per cent, last fiscal year. president’s report. President Wm. M. Wadley says: The reports of the General Superintend ent and of the Secretary and Treasurer, which are herewith appended, will show clearly the operations of your Road for the past year, and its financial condition on May 31st, the dose of its fiscal year. The earnings have been $152,895 42 Aud the expenses $ 97,632 38 Leaving net $ 55,363 04 This result shows an improvement over the previous year, being an inorease of earnings of $17,063 47, and a reduction of expenses of $3,660 32. In my last annnal report I stated that the entire debt of this Company, except the Second Morlgage Bonds, $300,000, and the Plain Bonds, $33,500, was due to the Central Railroad and Banking Com pany of Georgia, and that interest npon the whole debt as it stood at 8 percent., would amount to $91,202 04 per annum, and that, as there was no reasonable hope that the income from the Road wonld be sufficient to meet the same, the Board wonld snggest the propriety of making an application to that Company for a redac tion in the rate of interest to four per cent. He then goes on to recite the official actions of the Conventions and Board which we summarize. On July 5th, 1876, the annual Convention instructed the Di rectors to apply to the Central Railroad and Banking Company for a redaction in the rate of interest on the bonded debt. On July 29th, the Board of Directors appointed a committee of which Hon. M. J. Crawford was chairman to make suoh application. They reported that On Nov. 17th, 1876, the result of their mission was that the interest wonld be decreased from eight to four per cent, providing an en abling act be passed by the Legislature of Alabama authorizing new bonds, of $1,- 000,000, and the Mobile 4 Girard Compa ny agree to appropriate all the surplus earnings of the road to the purchase or redemption of the bonds so issued and dne to the C. R. R. 4 B. Co. The last was owed by the Mobile 4 Girard Com pany $800,p00. The Mobile 4 Girard Board made ap plication to the General Assembly of Ala bama to pass an act authorizing the com pany to issue one million of bonds with interest, not exceeding eight per oent. payable semi-annally, and execute a mortgage upon all the property, real and personal and the franchises for the pur pose of securing the payment of Buch bonds. Then follows the act passed at the last session of the Legislature, the condition of the Central Railroad and Banking Com pany, the call and meeting of stockhold ers on April- 19tb, and the action of that body in accepting the act of the Legisla ture and confirming the agreement. Then is given the deed of trnst of the M. 4 G. R. R. in which H. H. Epping and John E. Jones are made trustees. The new bonds in the aggregate will amount to one million dollars, each bond being $1,000 and have twenty years to ran, with interest payable semi annually. The entire road, eighty-five miles in length, with all its property is secured for payment. Of these bonds $800,000 bear 4 per cent, interest, and $200,000 6 per cent. The deed is a very long one. It is signed by Wm. M. Wadley, Presi dent, J. M. Frazer, Treasurer; signed sealed and delivered in the presence of U. L. Martin and Walton B. Harris, No tary Public, Chas. E. Brooks and Geo. Y. Pond Clerks of Superior Coart, Musco gee connty, Georgia. The trustees named accepted. The deed has been re corded in Pike, Bollock, Macon and Russell oounties, Alabama, and Musco gee county, Georgia. The whole proceedings are published at full length. President Wadley continues: It will therefore be seen that every condition necessary for the issue of the bonds provided for in the foregoing Aot has been complied with, and that under the liberal action of the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia we are in a condition to exchange onr 4 per cent, bonds for the amount of onr indebtedness to that Company, which has been bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. In view of this, and for the purpose of de termining the exact amonnt dne to that Company, the Treasurer has recently visi ted Savannah, and by actnal count of bonds and coupons, with a computation of interest on the same to date, ascertain ed the balance dne, which balance has been reduced by payments to the snm of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars. This indebtedness will be canceled and our 4 per cent, bonds issued therefor within • few days. The Board respeotfnlly suggests that an effort should be made to exchange our 6 per oeut. mortgage bonds for the plain 8 per cent, bonds now outstanding. And as the plain bonds have no lien npon the property of the company, while the 6 per cent, mortgage bonds are folly secured, it is not doubted that holders of the un secured bonds will willingly make the ex change. If this can be done the annnal interest npon the entire debt of the com pany will be reduced to the SHm of $58,- 010. This amonnt, it is confidently be lieved, the road will be able to earn, and with a return of prosperity in the country it is not unreasonable to hope that a sur plus may be accumulated with which to reduce the bonded indebtedness, and in that event the stock of the company may yet have some intrinsic value. superintendent’s report. Mr. W. L. Clark shows a record that is an honor to his management. He is among the first railroad men of the age. His report shows only two accidents dar ing the year, one caused to a freight train by’the breaking of'a foreign car, and the second by the breaking of a rail of the old flange, which no foresight could have remedied. The two accidents caused a loss of $1,000. He shows that the expen ses in 1875-1876, from $1,191.68 per mile, have been reduced in 1876-’7 to $1,148,62, without the least deficiency or injury to the condition of the track, which is now better than ever known. His exhibits display over the previous year of an in crease in passage of $2,086.33, (less a re daction in mail pay $820.14), making the total increase in earnings $17,063.47, while the expenses have been rednoed $3,660.32.
