The Quitman Academy Kxliihi
lion.
The first session of the scholastic year
of the "Quitman Academy,” was brought
to u close on Wednesday and Thursday
June 17th and 18th. The examination of
the students on Wednesday wo are in
formed, gave complete satisfaction to al l
present—demonstrating that the worthy
Principal,’ O. W. StuvUns, Esq., and his
assistants, Miss Stkvknh and Miss Pkak,
are fully competent for the responsible
positions occupied by them, and tlmt
their tedious and vexations labors had
been well rewarded by the marked ini
provement of most of the pupils in their
studies.
On Thursday night, the Academy was
crowded to its utmost capacity by the
elite of Quitman and vicinity, to witness
the exhibition usual on such occasions -
The speeches were excellent—some of
the orators” having prepared original ad
dresses, fraught with genuine eloquence
and sparkling gems of wisdom. The
dialogues were a>l remarkably well car
ried out and frequently elicited applause
The music was unexceptionable, and
the little performers gave promise of a
proficiency at a future day. Where all
done so well, it would be unjust to make
special mention of any.
The following is the programme of the
evening's entci taiumear, kindly furnish
ed ua by the Principal :
1. Speech, by Charlie Tildes.
2. Speech, by Moses Harris,
3. Music.
4. Speech, by Henry Stevens.
5. Speech, by Harry Mabbott.
5. Speech, by Goukling Stevens.
7. Music—Song.
8. Speech, by 0. O’Neil.
9. Speech, by .Tames Spence.
10. Music—Duet.
11. Dialogue*—Dutchman and Printer.
12. Dialogue—Hypoehondriuck.
12. Music- Violins.
14. Dialogue—John Smith, the School
master.
15. Dialogue—Gridiron.
1(1. Music—Duet.
17. Dialogue—School Examination.

19. Music—Song.
20. Dialogue—Collegian.
21. Dialogue—Standing Army.
22. Music- Violin.
23 Tragedy—Assassination ofCtesar.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the proceedings arranged for the evening
and when the audiance was about to de
part Mr. Stevens announced that one
more Act was to bo performed—l ho most
important of the evening -although not
in the programme. The curtain rose,
and revealed to the astonished audience,
a full bridal party. Many l elioved that
it was a mock wedding, blit when the
Rev. James McShyur commenced t ie reg
ular marriage ceremony, and concluded
by pronouncing Mr. 0, 15. Maciupsk, of
Jefferson county Floiida, and Mss 15.
Smith, of Quitman, man and wife, and do
ulared "what God had joined let no man
put asunder,” the vast concourse realized
the fact that it was a lemijiil• marriage
cerimony, and many silent wishes wore
expressed for the continued joy and con
tentment of the happy couple.

Tl»e Democracy mid ('Kiel' Justice
Chase-
Tt is perfectly legitimate for Democrat :
,jc journals to canvass tho antecedents,!
principles, and claims, of aspirats for
Presidential honors, prcviousjlo the Newt
j York nomination. Express' and objection !
to an aejn ant does not necessarily re

It is possible that Judge Ghasc may be j
tile nominee of the Democracy lor Pref.i ]
dent and if so nee '*'7//, may force, thou-|
sands, who oppose his nomination, (on
account.of liis personal obnoxious pi. ii
ciples,) to extend to him zealous sup
port. Therefore ill criticising the avow
i d principles of Judge Chase, we do so,
not as the oniincc but as an o jiii'anl
for the highest official position in the
'and.
The correspondent if the Hrookiyn
Ewjle. recently paid a visit to Judge
Chare, and received the following reply
to the inquiry, whether ho would accept
a nomination for President if tendered
by the New York Convention. The. Child
Justice remarked :
"If they would accept of my princi -
ples as their platform, I would, i shall
not give up my doctrine of equal rights.
They must take that. J shall bold to
the recount ruction measures ; they are
right and constitutional. ! drew up the
hill—the second one—though 1 did not
have in the military. 1 would have man
aged the affairs with civilian "Ulcers and
called in the military as they were need
ed. If J could got them to endorse these
principles that would settle them for
ever.”
This is the plainest incite into Judge
Cil iSh's present political opinions, uu yet
presented to the public ; ami the ques
tion naturally arises, if the Democracy
should accept of him as its nominee, and
on his own platform, what material dil -
Ibronci: will there ho between the canton
ding parties 1 The Democracy is requi
red, by Ci!ask to repudiate its historic
principles and then lie vvi'l consent to
go before the comdry on his own (Re
publican) platform as tnc standard bear
er of the Democratic party in the Presi
dential buttle! Judge vuark insists
that the Democracy shall unfurl the hau
lier of "equal rights”—such its :i cardinal
princinlc ol Radicalism. Judge Chase
favors the reconstruction policy of Coo'
gross—(he announces himself tiio author
of the second bill); —such is also the
grand rallying cry of the Radical party.
Judge Chase’s great anxiety to proeme
the nomination has caused him to bo so
imprudent ns to iloclaro-thc Recnnstruc
tion policy of Congress constitutional, not
withstanding'a ease is pending in the
Court over w hich he presides, involving
the constilutionolity of the reconstruction
! acts of Congress. The Democracy are
! "I the opinion, and have invariably con
| tended that each State is sovereign wßh
| in its sphere, and at liberty to regulate
its own domes! c and governmental al
i fan’s and therefore these reconst'motion
i measures of Congress, setting aside fill
I precedents and overiding such inherent
I rights of the Stiles,(are uiii uiithUiiioiial.
i The whole question resolves itself into
I this: If the New York Convention a
i dopts a platform in accord ante with the
j \ lews of Chief J uslkte Chari:, and places
bun upon it ns the nominee, the party u-
I bundous its ancient principles—repudi
i ales its past carter, and stamps it with
the brand of error. And tic’ day that
i the leaders of the party thus abandon
every land-mark of Democracy, will pro
I claim its dissolution for all time, and
over its tomb will be inscribed the taun

i examined its Northern Democratic ex
changes to find one of any weight, as a
i party exponent, “which proposes an ap

; (.-hires that “if there's any tote we can
not find it.” The Telegraph* examination

We exchange with but few Northern
journals, but will venture the assertion
that a large majority of the Democratic
press are favorable to it nullification of
all the reconstruction acts of the present
Congress, and all action taken by the
Stales thereunder. As the Telegraph,
however, cannot find one Democratic
journal favorable to the blotting out of
these reconstruction measures by “an ap
