The Concert—Professor Bohirmaeher— 1 The
Graduating Class—Mr. Wyllie’s Address
An Atlanta Belle.
The animal concert laat night, by the Southern
Female College, was the finest I have ever heard off the
stage. The almost perfect plsying of the young lsdics
showed how carefully they had been trained by Pro
fessor Schirmscher, and fully establishes his reputs-
tion ss one of the most accomplished musicians and
thorough teachers In the South. The chorus and solo
from the Opera Eraani was indeed sublime. Hiss
Moore’s solo was divine; it is to be hoped this young
lady will not throw aside her music. Mies Cox’s Car
nival of Venice—violin solo—was played as we never
heard it played before, save by Ole Bull.
Every train brings additions to the large crowd at
tending. To-night’s occasion will close with a grand
reunion of a general social mingling of the brave and
the fair, under the beautiful trees of the college
campus.
No college ever had a nobler representation than the
fourteen young ladies who graduated to-day. They
are an honor to Georgia and Alabama. All were so de
serving no special honors were conferred, and hence I
cannot personate.
Mr. Wyllie fully sustained his reputation ss a
speaker.
Miss Callie G., of Atlanta, is spending a lew days in
LsGrange, where she has many friends and admirers.

8TATE CONVENTION OF SCHOOL
COMMISSIONERS.
culties and questions presented, are sufficiently ex
plained in the law; a few of them we have referred to
Commissioner Orr, who will reply to them at his
convenience during the session of tho Convention.
The Committee recommend that the three following
changes be made in the school law of the State:
First, That the counties shail be authorizes to levy
a tax to supplement the State appropriation.
Second. That the entire traveling expenses of the
State School Commissioner, including his board and
hotel bills, should be paid by tbs State.
Third, That the enumeration be taken once in three
years instead of annually.
The committee also recommended that the following
question be discussed by this convention:
“How shall the school law be put into practical op
eration in the difforent counties of the State.” Fur
ther, that the convention adjourn sine dio at one p. m.,
to-morrow. Johx R. Mallard,
Chairman.

First Day’s Proceedings.
Session.
Dsath to Melon Dealers—At a special meeting
of Council, held last night, at the Recorder’s Court
room, an ordinance was adopted prohibiting for the
present the sale of watermelons, stale fruits, fish and
vegetables, and imposing a fine of fifty dollars or thirty
day’s imprisonment for a violation of the
ordinance. This, it will be seen, is a
healthy blow at melon dealers, for whereas, it only
prohibits the sale oi decayed fish, fruit and vegetables,
it is a sweeping statute as to melons, making no ex.
ception whatever. Emergency was the cause assigned
by the City Fathers. The tax committee held s meet
ing &t tho same time and place, and discussed the tax
ordinance for the last fiscal year, suggested some
changes, etc., but as their action is not final until ra*‘
ifled by the Council, we deem it unimportant to pub
lish their proceedings.

Rome, Ga., June 24, 1873.
The commencement exercises of the Rome Female
College have closed, and I have merely time to giv
you some dots on one day’s proceedings, making
REV. D. P. HAMILTON’S
eloquent speech the magnet which draws me. espe
cially to this day. Mr. Hamilton is recognized as
of the brightest men in North Georgia, and his speech
on this occasion was one of the best he ever made. It
was replete with sense, abounding with humor, pathos,
and withal a model speech for such an occasion,
After his speech Mr. S. C. Caldwell, Professor of
Natural Science, was then introduced to the audience.
His speech was principally advice to the graduating
class pertaining to their race in life. He made some
very happy distinctions between life as a reaiity and
as it appeared in a school girl's dream. Alter some
very feUcitious remarks regarding woman’s influence
and her mission, he closed by stating that since his
father’s connection with the Rome Female Academy
no class bad gave the sama universal satisfaction
the one about to receive diplomas. President J. M. M
Caldwell then delivered the diplomas to the graduates
with an appropriate address. The Presbyterian cboir
deserve special mention for the delightful music they
discoursed.
In the evening I attended a concert given by the
pupils of the school for the benefit of the Memorial
Association. The concert did great credit to the per
formers as well as Professor Teusler, their instructor.
The Misses Harpold and Alice Camp rendered their
pieces unusually welL The others did well consider
ing their age and practice. The lovers of music, as
well ss those who felt an interest in the children par
ticipating in the concert were very justly annoyed at
the extreme bad behavior of a portion of the audience,
who seemed to be both forgetful of themselves and
the occasion. Their conduct would have merited re
buke at a circus in a cross-road town. The manner in
which they conducted themselves was such that a
large portion of the assembly left the hall before the
concert was concluded.
The mercantile business here is at a low ebb. The
merchants, however, are not discouraged in the least,
as they experience a like stagnation in business at this
season every year.
The iron fever still rages. Her manufactories are
all prospering. Preparations are now being made for
the erection of a new furnace at Round Mountain,
thirty miles below Rome. The Company has recently
keen stocked at one hundred thousand dollars, with
the privilege of increasing it to five hundred thousand
dollars. The charter has been granted, the company
fully organized, and the erection of the furnace about
to be commenced. Every dollar of the stock is owned
by Georgia capitalists.
Mr. J. A. Bale, of this city, has commenced the con
struction of a factory for the purpose of manufactur
ing bone phosphate for fertilizing. All the machinery
necessary for the manufacturing of the fertilizer has
been ordered. The building will be speedily consum
mated, so that the factory will be in operation in time
to supply Cherokee Georgia and Alabama with fertiliz

CROP NEWS.
The latest aavices from the country regarding the
coming crops are rather discouraging. The farmer
calculates on abont one-half the average yield of
wheat. The cotton is looking well, but badly in the
grass. The corn crop will be large if these frequent
showers continue. The oat yield is large, and almost
ready to harvest.
The present belle of Rome dissipates in chewing
gum.
Jack King, the Mrs. Toodles, of Borne, bought at
auction, on yesterday, the following articles: Two
dozen packs of cards, two empty whisky barrels
dough face and an Indian figure. Mr. John
Printup purchased three dozen cakes of soap.

To the Citizens of Opelika and Vicinity;
The undersigned would most respectfully represent
tbat his testimony in the Hooper-PbBlips case having
been confused to some extent on account of his indis
position of health, and never having been Introduced
ss a witness upon the stand before, together with the
fact that be was kept upon the stand over six hours by
tbe defense on cross examination, which he thinks
would have confused the most intelligent citizen of
the county; and It having been charged upon him by
Mr. Borns and Waddell that no respectable citizen
would believe him on oath, he desires those of you
who have known him and would believe him on oath,
or otherwise, to give him the benefit of their names,
that he may not be unjustly placed before the good
people of the county in a dishonorable attitude. He
feels that this vindication is not undeserved by him,
and Is willing to go before the county as those who
know him will place him.
Respectfully,

Gilmer couuty was represented by E. W. Watkins, who
reported no schools in existence at present; in a very
short time schools would reorganize; several white

structors, the remainder by colored.
Capt. Vi. B. Kendrick, Superintendent of Public
Schools, of Brunswick, made the following exhibit:
8chools in the city ol Brunswick, organized eighteen
months ago. Average attendance in the city, whites
400; colored 325*. Arrangements already made to or
ganize schools iu every district of Glynn county.
Funds sufficient for colored, but not for whites. Will
raise additional by charging $1 per month, which will
give money enough to run the schools.
W. H. Bass representing Hancock county, reported
reasonable progress.
Joel T. Johnson, for Harris county, stated that
arrangements had been perfected for tbe opeuing
and teaching of schools for the first tbreo months ol
the fall term. Will employ teachers at monthly
salaries, and will organize school* throughout the
whole county. Some difficulty in getting teachers for
the colored schools.
Dr. C. A. Webb, from Hark comity, stated tbat tbe
workings of tbe system had not been fully tested, but
believed ti at the people would oppose it when demon
strated to be founded on correct principles.

Business Committee. The majority j of tko com
mittee submitted the following report.
MAJORITY JUEFOKT.
The Committee respectfully report:
That they have examined the papers and questions
referred to them. They find that most of the diffl-
As the actiou of tbe Water Commisioners, published
this morning, give evidence that the Council and
Board of Commissioners are in harmony, any article
•w going to distract public opinion must be regarded
haring some motive in view, detrimental to the best
interest of the city, especially when they appeal to the
prejudices of any class of people, as has been done by
anonymous writer in your paper this morning.
Generally these writers never own much city property,
although in this instance I may be mistaken. I had
promised myself not to reply to communications under
assumed names, as I believe the people care very little
for them as they generally have an interest to accom
plish, and not so much for the dear people. This has
been demonstrated in the Bukofzen project.
For the first timo since 1870, the Council have
shown a disposition to move in a spirit of harmony
with the commissioners, in this undertaking which
will enable the board to givo tbe matter au investiga
tion its importance demands.
The resolution offered by the writer iu 1870, pro
vided for an examination of this subject for a popula
tion of sixty thousand people, and expecting it to be
reduced, when, to my surprise, it was amended unan
imously, to read for one hundred thousand. Under
this resolution the commissioners have been acting
and estimating for works of this capacity, including
pipes for all parts of the most thickly settled portions
of the city, in order to show thoso of our citizens
who held very liberal views, tbe cost #f
works on such a scale; but in doing
i, never intended to spend the amount of money at
tributed to the Board by the opponents of water
works. We now believe the growth oi the city haB
settled on a basia to insure a permanent increase «C
population, from which wo can better judge in pro.
iding for tbe future.
Having met with opposition from various quarters,
covertly and otherwise, from motives not known, we
passed them by, knowing our honesty of purpose to «lo
the best we could for the city, and being aa much in-
erested in her welfare, as well as being identified
with her for tbe past twenty and twenty-fire years. Ws
now think, by the co-operation of all citizens, we will
be sole to consummate this much talked of
enterprise, and at last all will redound
to the good of the city by furnishing
the quantity of water required for our present and
proportionate future growth, at a coat not ruinous
enough to drive all West, aa prophesied by (< AUanta.”
This writer “Atlanta” speaks of “the enterprising
gentlemen” going to the Chattahoochee river. He,
no doubt, will be relioved when I inform him that he
speaks of that which he knows nothing. The Board
never entertained tbe idea of going there. He should
bo more careful when he speaks iu “public.”
I will further state for his information that the piau
proposed by Colonel Adair was submitted to Council
in 1866, and by tbe writer, In connection with Mr.
Bass, tbe present City Engineer, was published In the
city papers; but it was then, aa it was two years ago,
tbe prevailing opinion tbat we should have water works
on a large scale, and go to the Chattahoochee river.
Hating no ambition to appear before tbe public iu
matters of this kind, if pardoned for thia, aud tbe
allusion to mjaelf, X will promise not to notice any

ALABAMA AND SOUTH GEORGIA PROTEST—THE
GRIFFIN AND ATLANTA CLUBS NOT TBE
BEST—WHAT THE FESTIVES AND MAG
NOLIAS DID—A SUGGESTION TO
MAYOR HUFF.
Eufaula, June 23, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald:
I see in your issue of the 20th instant, that
a match game of base ball, played by the
Griffin and Atlanta clubs, in which the score
stood 27 to 37, and you pronounced it the
best game of the season by Southern clubs.
The Magnolias, of Cuthbert, Georgia, and
the Festives, of Eufaula, Alabama, played a
game in two hours, nine innings, the score
standiug as follows:
Innings 1 2 34 56789 Total.
Magnolias 4 0 0 3 2 3 0 0 1 19
Festives 3 0 2 4 2 0 0 5 4 20
The champion belt was awarded to H. C.
Copeland, as best average player on Festive
nine; the banner to George McDonald, as
best average on Magnolia’s.
A few words from the Cuthbert Club:
Cuthbert, Ga., June 24, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald:
I notice in your issue of Friday last an ac
count by a correspondent of a match game of
Base Ball played at Griffin, between a club of
your place aud the White Stockings of Grif
fin, the game standing at the close 37 to 27,
the writer claiming this to be the most close
ly contested game of the season. Yonr cor
respondent certainly does not keep well post
ed iu the match garner played in other parts
of the State, or bo would not make such wild
assertions iu regard to the national game.
We have a club in Cuthbert now entering
upon its second season, which we of South
west Georgia are vain enough to think can
bear off the palm from any club, whose play
ing has so far been recorded in tho Herald.
Last season (the first of tho organization) we
only lost one match game, and that by the er
roneous decisions of the umpire; entered at
tho Terrell County Fair and took tbe prize, a
$75 silver set, fairly distancing all competi
tion. This season wo have played one match
game with the Festives of Eufaula, aud were
beaten by one run; tha score being, Festives
20, Magnolias 10. We play a retura gamo on
Friday next. So you can see, Messrs. Editors,
by our records that wo have some claims to
the State championship, and when games
where tho scores nro botween fifty and one
bundled are called decisive of tho champion
belt, wo must be allowed our protest And
now we propose that if the State Agricultural
Society will offer a premium of either money
or plate, to bo given to tho best club of tbo
State, we will contest the ground with any of
your Atlanta, Gnffiu, North ot Middle clubs
