It iii’n ! ! During the past week this section of country received several refrcsliing show ers ; and on Wednesday evening u steady rain sot in, continued all that night, and this (Thursday) morning still continues, with a fa ! r prospect of satisfy ing the most thirsty. 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. 18. Dialogue—Quacks. 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. Gkx. Meaoe. —lt is generally be lieved, that Gen. Meade, who was recent ly ordered to Washington, will never a gaiu return as the Ruler of Kingdom ’i luce. 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 quire oppuriii m so the nominee., although ; said nominee may be tlm party previous-! ly deemed unworthy the exalted position. 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 ] ting epitaph : “Primijdcs surrendered ; to Availability /” | Don your Spec’s amt Search,, Again. ; The Macon Tekymph says that it has i examined its Northern Democratic ex changes to find one of any weight, as a i party exponent, “which proposes an ap | peal to CongtcSH to reverse action >n | this reconstruction business;” and do ; (.-hires that “if there's any tote we can not find it.” The Telegraph* examination ! must not have been very extensive.— Where glands the New York Pay IlmA.' i the Metropolitan Jlot'ord the Washing ! ton National IntelUnenc, o'*the latter jour S nal be*ng the reputed official organ of l’resideut Johnson. AH of these juui ! mils are certainly possessed of sonic ■ "weight" and are generally conceded : “party exponents." They all insist that the Democracy shall chug so its ancient ; principles, and in. the approaching politi i cal contest go before the count y pledg ed to rectify unconsiituDonal legislation and restore to the South the rights of which she has been purloined as well us the governments of her choice. 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 peal to Congress.” for its benefit we will subjoin the views of the .National Ini.
