TIE ATLANTA DAILY' DENALI VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1873. NO- 222 The Daily Herald. TO ADVERTISERS. THE ATLANTADAILY HERALD HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF 6E0R6IA. CLOSING EXERCISES. Gen. Jno. B. Gordon’s Address to the Students. PRIZES CONFERRED BY GENERAL A. H. COLQUITT. Scholarship Awarded in Wash- ington and Lee University. Richard W. Cone the Successful Scholar. Splendid Music by Professor Freyer’s Band. For the past week the little village of Kirkwood hu been in pleasing anticipation of the exhibition to take place upon the closing exercises of Kirkwood H gh School, under the care of Mr. W. J. Ncrthen and Charles M. Neel, assisted by Prof. Nathaniel Wil lett. This school has been the pride of Kirkwood from its first establish roc nt, and whenever anything is to take place which is likely to add interest to it parents and children unite with a ready cheerfulness, as one family. Therefore,when Thursday, 2Gthof June waa announced as the closing dsy, and it was under stood that addresses were to be made by Gen. Gordon, and General Colquitt, sewing machines were at once put in motion by all the foud mothers to make their daughters look particularly lovely, and fathers were ordered to take their boys to Atlsnta and provide them with new jackets aud white vests. The day arrived bright and pleasant. The school house was in order. Finally, the hour of 2 o’clock arrived, and with it Prof. Freyer’s Band, which is par excellence the finest band of musicians in this part of the State. The exercises were opened with i rajer by Rev. Dr. Frsxier, then sweet music from the^aml. Next came Mias Laura B. Jones, of Kirkwood, wbo read the Con quered Banner in a tremulous voice, which gave a peculiar sweetness to these sad lines of our poet Priest. Master W. £. Bunn, who, though quite small, has the air aud step of a man, then declaimed in manly tones the Expulsion of C'ataline. Master A. J Smith, of Augusta, acquitted • himself with great credit on the subject of “American Edu cation.” He was followed by the bright aud cheerful, “ blue-eyed Hattie Warren,” who gave us one of Mrs. Hemsns’ most beautiful pieces in splen did style. Master W. M. Wimberly of Twiggs, ren dered the “Sailor Boy ” very finely, and was followed by Mias Annie E. Wilson of Kirkwood, who made us “ Pass Under the Rod ” w.th cheerful submission After another fine air from the band, Master T. H. Nor then stepped tor ward and declaimed the Bible, by Pierce, which wa9 admirably spoken and well received. Tbo “ Bonnie Blue F.ag ” was next h«*rd with rapturous applause from the tiny lips of master Marcial SorreL This little fel. low has a head like Daniel Webster, and if he will only fill It with useful knowledge, the country will yet hear from him. Mnaic again, which was so sweet that we all regretted that it had to end. Master Robert Weet Alston, of Meadow Nook, with marked eloquence, gave ue the speech of Virginias to the Romans, as he slew his daughter to prevent her sacrifice. His effort was highly spoken of as evincing a talent for oratory worthy of being cultivated. Mias Lizzie Morgan read how Mrs. Caudle gets her money, but the married ladies of Kirkwood need no teaching on this subject, and we think it was not fair in this young lady to remind the few henpecked men of the neighborhood of their complete submission in such an impressive manner. Robert D. Brown, of HawkinsvUle, who is a bright bov, fulfilled the expectations that were indulged by his friends. Miss Bessie Alston then read “ Hector and Andro mache” in a very creditable manner. It would have been somewhat improved if she had not read it so rapidly. Catalina's Defiance, by Douglas Sorrel, was remark ably well rendered, as was also “Crabbed Folks,” by Master Henry Robson. We heard bis effort highly spoken of by s number. Henry is s fine boy and in herits talent. “Gen.” Phil Cook, of Americus, raised onr sympa thies for the “Hungarian Exile.” Phil is too mnch like his gallant father not to make a useful man. Miss Lizzie Colquitt read “Antony’s address over the dead body of Caesar” as well as it could be read, and wo board but this one expression about it. F. D. Sorrel, of Texas, spoke the burning reproach of Cassius with power and effect. Miss Corrie Robson, who had prepared to read the “ Devil and the Broker,” by request read Poe’s “Ra ven” most beautifully. Then came some more of the fine music, si the close of which, Master Harry J. Prince, of Savannah, de claimed Mrs. Opie's “Orphan B >y” in the most beau tiful and touching manner. A large number of the audience were moved to tears by 1 thetic tone and sweet voice of the little boy who repeated the poem in such a manner aa to almost cause us to realize the little orphan before us. This effort was simply peifeet, and above criti clsm. The gentle and accomplished Miss Mary E. Howard next road Willia’ “ Absalom ” in a modest, trembling manner, which always adds so much to whatever s lady alterants. Spirited music from the band, and a very appropriate addreaa from Gen. Gordon closed the afternoon exercises, to be resumed st 8 o’clock. Mr. Foster, of Madison, having been excused. Mas ter Harry Prince was requested to repeat the Orphan Boy, which he did equally as wel 1 as he rendered itst first. We have purposely devoted so much space to the young ladies and little boys, that we shall paaa the performance of the young gentlemen with i Iy staling that they all acquitted themselves remark ably well. Mr. Gordon Sorrel, Mr. Akers, Mr. C. Murphy Can tiler, and Frank Gordon and J. G. Zachary, deserve especial mention, and we learned from the Committee that they had mnch difficulty in deciding to whom they should give the prize of this list. The evening’s exerctses were begun with prayer by the Rev. Mr. LaPrad; then mnsic, and tbejj fol lowed by W. P. Harrison, Georgia, on the Irish Dis turbance bilL M. W.

The prize for best reading among the ladies was conferred on Miss Lizzie Colquitt, who received it with a look of modest surprise, which made all glad that she got it. The fortunate young gontleman. for the best decla mation was Mr. Gordon Sorrell, and honorable men tion of Mr J. S. Akers and C. M. Candler. Among the little boys, Master Harry Prince bore *he palm, and honorable mention of Master Douglas Sorrell. Mr. Korthen took advantage of the absence of the committee to state that he had received the follow ing letter from Dr. J. L. Kirkpatrick of the Washing ton and Lee University: Washington College, I Lexington, Va., October 5,18G8.} Mr. Hs. J. Xor then : Deab Fib:—I »m instructed by the Faculty of Wash ington College to forward to you the enclosed extract from the minutes of the Faculty, and to ask whether it will be agreeable to you to receive for your school one of the Honorary Scholarships, provided lor in the extract. Lrt me say, in explanation of the deaign of this offer to you, that wc are authorized by the Board of Trustees of tho College to confer on twenty of the best Preparatory Schools in the regions of country from which wo draw our students these Honorary Scholarships, which, as you will see, are to be offered by the teacher for competition among his students, who, st the end of the year or session, may be pre pared to enter College. The successful competitor, entering our institution, will be entitled to a year’s instruction without charge for tuition or any of the incidental privileges of the College. The Scholarship to such student will be, in money, equivalent to one hundred dollars, that being the amount ol tuition fees and College charges. As our students come from a wide scope of country, and as we are limited to twenty of these Scholarships, we can offer only one to your State. From the Inform ation we have received of your school, we make you the oue Scholarship allotted to your Staie. I would further call your attention to the fact that these Scholarships are not designed to provide for a cheap education to indigent young men. They are to be conferred on the basis of merit, without regard to the circumstances of the competitors. We wish to bear our part in giving encouragement to the Prepara tory Schools, which arc so important to us aud the country. Very respectfully, J. L. Kiuktatukk, Professor Moral Philosophy. Mr. Northen stated that tho offer of this schoW^^'P had produced a fine spirit of emulation in his stehool. That many had worthily contended, and it had jeen a difficult matter to decide between two, Mr. Akers and Mr. R. W. Cone, but the choice had on Mr. Cone. One very pleasant feature of the evening wffii to witness the sincere delight which the other scholars seemed to feel at the good fortune of the successful contestants. No feeling of envy or jealousy, or sill nature, at the choice of the committees. Thus closed one of the most pleasant entertainments we have attended for some time. We cannot omit again referring to the mnsic. It waa perfectly delight ful, and the solo of Prof. Freyer was simply grand* We hope to see this band go to the Macon Fair, bo-* cause we know one thing, if there should be any band there to excel them, the people will hear music which will be well worth a trip there. The exercises of the school will be resumed on tbe 28th of July, when we expect to see a full school. HOMICIDE. Continuation of the Parri cide’s Trial. The Beading of Walworth’s Letters.

Columbus, Mississippi—Cloudy to-day, with indica tions of more rain. Augusta, Georgia—More rain last night. Showers very general in adjoining counties. Weather cloudy and threatening rains. Jackson, Mississippi—Shower every day; two very hard rains since last report. Grass is encroaching frightfully. Accounts from various sections are still discouraging; the abandonment of cotton still con tinues. Camden, Arkansas—Rained here tc-day, too much in his vicinity for cotton. THE WEATHE1L Probabilities—For New England on Saturday, gentle to fresh winds, mostly from south and west, and clear or partly cloudy weather, are probable, with possibly occasional raiu areas over tbe northern portion.

For the lower lake region, gentle to fresh winds with partly cloudy weather and occasional rain areas. For the South Atlantic States, light to fresh southeast and southwest winds, and partly cloudy weather. For the Gulf States, cast of the Mississippi and north to the Ohio valley, light to fresh winds with partly cloudy weather and occasional areas. For the upper lake region, winds, shift ing to northwest and northeast with partly cloudy weather on Saturday. Washington, June 27, 1873. Sometime since the Secretary of War, his action being governed by the report of General Vincent, showing that General Howard’s accounts of the freed- mens were at odds and ends, submitted the question to the Attorney General how he should proceed to cover and indemnify the government for alleged frauds said to have been developed by the investiga tion of General Vincent. No opinion has yet been made, but it will be completed probably to-morrow and forwarded to the Secretary of War. It is probable that the opinion will recommend suit against the bonds of Howard and General Bullock. It was stated this connection yesterday that search was made at the First Comptrollers’ office, and at the War Department, for the bonds of tbese ex-officers of the Bureau, and that they can’t be found. A search was then made for the bonds of the Assistant Commissioners of the several States, and they were also missing. A New York Herald special from Florence says that Hiram Powers died there this morning. CALIFORNIA. Small Pox Among the Chinese—Japanese Parliament—Lunatic and Foundling Asy lum—Advice to Farmers.

Baron Rothschild and M Mildmay, of Boring Bros., testified to the forgery of their signatures. The bank has obtained a temporary injunction restraining the Bidwells from any action for the recovery of the two United States bonds. A special dispatch to tbe London Telegraph from Central Asia announces that the Khan of Khi t surrendered unconditionally to the Russian troops, before tbe Capital of Khanate, after General Kaafmau had retreated twelve proposals for capitulation, which were made with ticacberous intent.

Several Cars Thrown from the Track. Nlw Yoke. June 27, 1873. In the Walworth trial there was a long discussion the admission of kis father’s letters. Judge Davis decided to admit only such passages as contaiu threats. The prisoner’s counsel specially objected to the ruling. A letter of Walworlb’s to his wife was read. After referring in most ijitteb and tebbible teams to his being left only a portion of the property in the trusteeship of his brother, by the will of Reuben H. Walworth, he continues thus: “Now. Ellen Hardin, knowing that I am helpless under that will, if you. will persist in trying year by year to see how much of that trust property you can get out of me by THBEATS OF LAW, by personal blandishments to my trustees, or by an other means, If you doubt, and will not see that I ought to have something for my entire life whether he intended me to or not, then mark what will be the finale of my vengence upon that DEAD SCOCKDBEL DOG, who has made me so pitiable before men aud you. I will, and so help me the demons, who wait upon the persecuted and the proud spirited aud the revengeful, I will, when stripped by you of my property, and you mean, at least to PLUNGE MV DAGGEB INTO FBANK AND TBACT’S HEARTS, and cut off the Walworth uame forever. G—d—n him, he has elevated them aud degraded me, and you gloat it. I have not one single firm right under his will. This you believe, and this has been the cause of your despising and abandouing me. With cold, calm purpose you contemplate my eventual beggary, and humiliation. I WILL KILL YoUE BOX, and defeat the d—d scoundrel in his grave, aud cut off hisd—d name forever.” Now you just persecute me about that property and keep this thorn I have in my heart, and by the eternal God I will kill tbem and you too. Now you hunt my property any further, you God damned infamous bitch, and I will gut your pup as well as you. The God damned dead villian shan’t BOB ME OF WIFE, CIULDBEN AND FBOPEBTY. If I can’t have anything I will have revenge, God damned von. I have lost already everything which makes life valuable.” 'This letter has no signature, and is addressed to Mrs. Ellen H. Walworth, Saratoga Springs, New York. Mrs. Walworth testified to acts of personal violence, of which her son had knowledge. Mrs. Walworth said Frank showed signs of mental aberration in various ways, after the separation of his father and herself. NEW YORK. Billiard Malcb—Charles A. Dana—The Traffic in Children—The Turf—Death of an Editor—Woodhull & Claflin— Tom Pott, *tc., etc. New York, June 27, 1873. Ubassy aud Garnicr were the contestants in the sec ond game last night. The former had a call on betting at odds of two to Dne. The play in the commence ment of the game was the same, Ubasey especially playing poorly. In his 7th inning, Gamier, by a bril liant play, including some very fine maBse shots, made 36, and in his 18th inning made a handsome ran of 60. Gamier, in his 26th inning, made 10 aud won the game, amid much applause, by 300 to 239. Charles A. Dana has filed bonds in the suit insti • tuted against the editor of the Sun for publishing a communication, charging Governor Cooke, of the District of Columbia, and Vico President Shepherd, of the Board of Public Works, of tLe same place, with being interested in the Metropolitan Saving Company, of Washington, D.

Eight hundred thousand dollars in rpecio are en gaged for shipment to-morrow. Chas. A. Dana, editor of the Sun, appeared before the United States Commisssoner this a, m. Assistant United States Attorney for the Didrict of Columbia, asked that Dana be committed and removed for trial to Washington. The Commissioner granted an order for removal for trial. Counsel for Dana asked to have bail fixed, but tbe Commissioner said he had no right, that bail must be fixed by the District Judge before whom the parties have agreed to go. The bail will probably be fixed at $10,000. Prosecution in tended to trj the case at tbe present term of the United States District court at Washington. , In the trial of Woodhull, Claflin and Blood for send ing obscene publications through the United States mails, Judge Blatchford decided that in the act of 1872 eekly or daily nowBpapcr was not intended to be. included among the list of obscene publications. In the act of 1873, the word “paper” Is inserted, and in tended to include a newspaper, which, as he construed the previous acts on the subject, was not included in the statutes. The indictment in the present case wai drawn under the statute of 1872, and tho prosecution must consequently fail. The jury then rendered i verdict of not guilty. It is currently reported that Tbos. A. Bcott has per fected arrangements for a new .through route from New York to Washington, and will begin operations Monday. Ibo route will be over tbe present line to Philadelphia, thence via Lancaster to York, Pennsyl vania, thence over tbe Northern Central to Baltimore j and over the Baltimore aud Potomac to Washington.
