CLOelXC ESEECISES OF THE SPRING TERM.
on yesterday the closing exercices of the spring
term of the public schools took place, except as to the
graduating class of the Girls’ High School, which will
come off at Concordia Hall on Monday evening. At
tention to the exercises of the pupils of all the
different schools shows what amazing progress has
been made by them during the short time since the
inauguration of the system in onr city. While tbs
pupils exhibited conclusive evidence of having given
c'.cae application to their studies and aeqaitted them
selves handsomely in their examinations, we regret
ted to see that the parents of the children and friends
of education genet ally did not respond to the invita
tion of Professor Mallon, and thus encourage them by
their presence. The attendance on the exer-
c.sea of the Browning Literary Society was
large and in fact the hall was intensely crowded, but
at the grammar schools and the Boys High School
ihote was but a small attendance considering the num
ber of those directly interested.
AT THE CREW STREET, WALKER STREET AND IVY STREET
ORAXMAR SCHOOLS,
the examination of the students, though <» cupying
but a few hours, was thorough and complete as to the
main studies pursued, and resulted to the entire satis
faction of the instructors.
AT THE BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL,
besides the regular examination on the branches
taught, the students declaimed or read compositions.
Some of these it was oar pleasure to hear, and we
were especially struck with the logic of the composi
tions of the yonng men, and their declamatory powers
In the delivery of their speeches The exercises
over. Dr. A. L. Hamilton being present, was called
f it and addressed the yonng men In a forcible and
practical speech. He was brief in bis rt marks, but
earnest and interesting.
The exercises of the Browning Literary Society of
the Girls’ High School, were interesting snd ss before
stated, well attended, one-third of those present be
ing unable to obtain seats. The young ladies had, by
practice and study, obtained a very clear conception
of the elementary principles of parliamentary law,
and were, therefore, enabled on this occasion to pro
ceed without embarrassment or confusion.
The Society was called to order by Miss Fay, the
President, a gracefol and accomplished yonng lady. A
committee, consisting of three young ladies, was ap
pointed to select suitable names for President and
Corresponding Secretary for the ensuing term.
The committee nominated Miss Vsnnie Gartreli for
President, and Miss Mamie Tarver for Secretary,
and they were both unanimously elected. A commu
nication from the Secretary of the literary society of
the girls’ high school of Savannah was received and
read. The yonng ladies were then called on for reci
tations or the reading of compositions. The first
piece recited was the ‘’bachelor,” by a beautiful
young lady whose descriptions of and suggestions
c meaning those miserable men who pass
thirty unmarrkd, brought the applause of
the house. The propriety of sale, taxa
tion, etc., was hinted at. A composition read by one
of the most efficient members of tbe society, entitled
"My last composition,” elicited tbe coromendatien of
all.
Mias Beynolds recited the " Modern Belle” in a
most hsppy and admirable manner, Miss Monieitb
recited "The Swan,” an excellent piece, teaching a
beautiful moral, to tbe satisfaction of all and to the
complete edification of every young person present.
Miss Lula Bichsrdson recited Washington Irving’s
"8 eepy Hollow” with a skill that won her many de-
served compliments.
Several other young ladies also participated in the
exercises, but we frankly confess that from onr situa
tion In the audience wa were unable to obtain their
names. However, every one exceeded tbe expecta
tions of even the most sanguine, which Is a powerful
iliustiation of the great good that the Browning Society
has already accomplished, and yet we insist tbafthi* is
doubtless merely a prelude of that which ia sooi
follow, especially in view of the liberal financial
courajement extended. Mrs. Mellon, by request of
the Society, recited Mrs. Browning’s poem, entitled
*’ Confession.” To ny that she rendered this splen
didly Is true, but nevertheless unnecessary to those
acquainted with her powers of elocution. Professor
Baker. Superintendent of Public Schools of Savannah.
Judge H. K. McCay. Dr. Wills, and Beverend A. T

of these distinguished gentlemen, however, expe
rienced no UtUe difficulty in addressing the President
Cl the Society, who was a handsome yonng lady. They
alternated between "Mr. President,” "Miss Pres-
dant,” and " Mr*. President
At tbe conclusion of the speeches one of the young

pm anted a beautifully bound copy of "Tennyson’s

From onr Special Correspondent
But a few hours* ride from your growing metropo
lis, and you arrive safe in the beautiful town of Madi
son. The location ia an excellent one, and the appear
ance presented exceedingly inviting. The towering
spires of its churches, while they do not vie with the
stately domes of your Gate City, prove,nevertheleaa.that
the inhabitants have caught the spirit of improvement,
and have not been recreants in the onward march of
civilization. Despite the destructive fire which swept
over the little city a few years ago, devastating her
business center and turning many of her people
houseless, her progress from that period has indeed
been wond.rful. Phceaix-like she has risen from her
sshes nntil now scarce a vestige of the charred ruins
remain.
The commodious warehouse erected by Cox A Thom
ason, the present proprietors, is a long needed addi
tion to the town, and affords great accommodations to
the surrounding farmers.
The bank recently established here has met with de
cided success. The merchants long since have felt the
necessity and now regard it aa an essential element to
the prosperity of tbe place.
Mr. A. B. Phelps, Jr., a courteous and
polite gentleman, has effected arrangements and will
erect an elegant bank building on Main street. The
plan of the stractare is a beautiful one and will be
urged to completion by September next The front
will be of glaas and iron, the whole when completed
will be an ornament to the place of which her people
may well feel prond. The past heritage of Madison is
glorious one, and the present gives token of as
bright a future, her daughters are fine, her men are
brave, and many bright intellects point here
aa the heme of tbeir youth. From the grateful
welcome manifested, the unlimited courtesy extended
by the citizens and the genial hospitality ever
natural to themselves, one would think that tbe good
ly people cf Morgan county had reached once more the
splendor of their ante Vellum days. The occasion
which imparts new life to the memory of other times,
and recalls a thousand hallowed reminiscences of
" by-gone days,” upon which the men feel more
prond and the women appear more lovely.and Madison
herself, like the village so beautifully described by the
poet—
" Where smiling spiing its earliest visit paid.
And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed ”—
ia no other than the commencement of the "Georgia
Female College,” whose past record for classic lore
and intellectual worth requires no eulogy from the
pen. It has doubtless appeared to many very strange
why the closing exercises of a collegiate term should
be called" Commencement.” I think a few hours of
critical observation of tbe gay attendance upon
anch an occasion will convince any one that the name
is rightly given. To the light hearted and unassum
ing youth, it is the commencement of many joys,
which result ofttimes in many sorrows. To the young
lsdies it is th9 springtime of pleasure, and the harv
est-time of love's first impulse. New etiqnette,
fashioned and studied for months past, is now dis
played; new flirtations commence; new matches are
made, and new dresses kept concealed for a year
now carelessly exposed to the noonday’s
Yonng America, with a vanity unprecedented,
barks and spreads bis sails in the sea of love, and
knows nothing ’ere this sunshine of joy is changed
into a clouded dispair; his idol another’s; his angej
dreams vanished, and he, deceived creature, is
wrecked by the pointing of bis own compass. In fine,
it ia the commencement of all tbe pleasures which
social gatherings and gay throngs can create.
The College is situated in a pleasant portion of the
town, with a besutlfal grove in front. Aten early
honr on Tuesday morning an appreciative audience
assembled to witness the examinations of the primary
department, and the respective classes of the College
The examinations in mathematics was conducted
npon the analytical method, and the quickness ex
hibited by the members of the primary department
in mental multiplication exceedingly striking. The
examination of the Freshman on astronomy and
Seniors on moral science, was also good. At eight
•’clock Tuesday evening an entertainment was given
by tbe musical department of the institution,
under the supervision of the accomplished Mrs. W-
McHenry, consisting of vocal and instrumental music.
Among the congratulations we heard the names of
Misses LMverett, KODins, lOIClier, rou, Browne, Dcttie
Walker and Robinson. The duets were excellent, and
those who participated acquitted themselves well.
Mnch credit ia due Mrs. McHenry for such a pleasant
entertainment.
In the afternoon of Wednesday, the second day of
Commencement, was the parade of the ‘‘ The Second
Day Revelers.” The characters were very ludicrous,
and elicited great laughter by the crowds on the street.
Wednesday evening was the one selected as Com
mencement. The chapel hall was tastefully decorated
with evergreens, and from the walls hung fine speci
mens of oil paintings.
The graduates were four in number.
The first. Miss Emma Williams, of Madison, read a
composition on what the "Moon Looks On.” Her
piece was highly appreciated by the audience; the line
of thought pursued very descriptive, abounding in
beautiful similes and metaphor.
Tbe next was Miss Saliie Pilcher, of Warren county;
subject. "Silent Influence.” It was a gem of practi
cal thought, and the moral taught a good one.
Miss Bessie Walker, of Madison, read an essay oi
the "Power of Music.” The effort was one which
portrayed deep thought. Her well toned voice and
gentle cadences impressed her auditors very forcibly,
Tbe last composition of tbe evening was
read by Miss Bettie Walker, of Americus, on
"Love;” there being many subjects ol
this divine power among the auditors, it is almost
useless to state that the essay was listened to atten
tlvely, and a high appreciation, which the essay de.
served, was manifested by the audience.
The diplomas were then conferred by Mr. Brown,
the President of the College, and the graduating class
bade a long farewell to their dear old Alma Mater.
The anneal complimentary party to the young la
dies of the College was given at Poster’s Hall, on
Thursday evening, by the yonng men of Madison. Tbe
entertainment was a grand success, and the young
men deserve great credit, and the participants are in
debted to them for tbe most delightful occasion for
many years past.
The lovely daughters of the Auburn town were
attired In beautiful costumes, trails reigning supreme
that in the mazes of the dance "Young America”
must describe a great circle or make a polite apology
for a torn drees. Many strangers from a distance were
present. Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta, classic Athens,
Greensboro, Covington, and rural Oxford were all
represented.
Among tbe attendants of th* evening that attract
ed particular attention with their cultured manner
and graceful bearing were the Misses Lucy and Mollie
P , Mattie McH., Jessie W\, Sallle J., Pimmie P.,
Saliie B., B. and J. H., Mary F. t Emma W., Bettie W
and Ella M.
The occasion which afforded so mnch pleasure will
ongbe remembered, and in after years, when "silent
memory shall brood over these scenes,” the com
mencement of eighteen teventy-three will recall many
happy and pleasant recollections.
to enter fully into details. To say there was not a fail
ure where ao many young people performed, many
for the first ttane in public, would be enough ordinari,
ly; but there was more than this—a remarkable suc
cess throughout.
Thr boys appeared both in single pieces and in dia
logues, and acquitted themselves satisfactorily. There
waa a variety furnished for every taste—grave orations,
humorous speeches, laugh-provoking dialogues.
THE YOUNO LADIES
school read Compositions, all evincing
careful training and original thought. Their natural
irepidition added to their beauty and the listeners’
interest. The compositions were a'l good, and we
take it, were for the moat part, prepared by these
girls themselves—wot that they were not remarkably
good for their sges, but because they corresponded in
thought and diction with young girls, and were not
filled with statesmanlike, obstruse, metaphysical
ideas, which is so often the case on such occasions,
and we all know mast be borrowed. We listened there
fore with no ordinary pleasure to these original
thoughts of sweet innocence. When all did to well,
it would be invidious to particularize, and we will
merely remark that the young ladies came fully up to
the expectations we bad formed from even a short ac
quaintance with their instructors.
HCGTr IS A GENIUS,
and wc all ao voted him last night. Now, the audi
ence ia brought to tears, and in an instant sides have
to be held from sheer laughter. Now he is the ex
quisite elocutionist, and now tho greenest Yankee
lover, or tho honest, awkward schoolboy, or the
veriest Paddy, brogue and all. We asked him to recite
the Maniac. He replied he was afraid. Why ?
Because he might go crazy—ah, young people, that is
the secret of his success; his feelings are fully en
listed, and he acts and speaks just as he feels.
THE MUSIC
interspersed throughout the evening’s performances
was, as yonr Atlanta people well knew it would be,
most charmiDg. Mrs. Eckford presided with her ac
customed dignity and grace, and her scholars, all
pretty, all sweet, drew forth from the piano all the
mnsic it was possible for those of their age to do.
took our pencil and paper, and began at first to give a
criticism of each performer and each piece; but, look
ing over our paper since, we simply say all did mag-
nificentlv. Solos and duetts, both in song* and instrn.
mental pieces, were given with an accuracy, a prompi
i ease, and a beauty of expression rarely wit
nessed, and evinced a training by a most thorough,
competent, and critical teacher.
Surely, your city is highly favored in having such
i instructor of music: a Southern lady most highly
cnltivated in every respect, of the best of families,
graceiul in person and manners, herself a magnificent
performer, knowing bow to do as well as instruct—it
wonder her scholars can be distinguished by
tbeir very touch of the instrument wherever they go.
IN CONCLUSION,
Professor McDowell made a very appropriate and pretj
ty address, tendering his thanks to his patrons
scholars, and paying merited compliments to bis
guests who assisted him on this occasion.
Thus passed a most delightful evening, and ah went
away perfectly satisfied, pronouncing the warmest
cominms upon all who had contributed to the enter
tainment.

Taken as a whole, the reports were enconraging,
representing the spiritual condition of the Church
mnch improved, and the finances, etc., good.
Tbe Conference adjourned aa honr before twelve
clock, in order to participate in religious exercises
conducted by Bishop Pierce. Tbe Bishop selected
his text from Paul’s second letter to Timothy, — th
chapter and —th verse. This sermon was most inter
esting and practical, and able counsel was intermin
gled, which, taken to heart and acted npon by the
largo body of preachers and official members of the
church, would render it the all-absorbing power in tbe
land. We would be glad to give a synopsis of this
able discourse, but want of time prevents. It was
listened to with serious attention by the largo con
course present. After tbe sermon, the preachers and
delegates repaired to their respective temporary homes
partake of sabstantials and delicacies prepared for
them by the generous people of De' itur.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Conference convened at two and a half o’clock f. m.,

Commencement Kxcrcises at CulUbcrt.
The Commencement exercises of Andrew Female
College, at Cathbert, came off on Wednesday last. The
address was made by Hon. Henry B. Harris, of Green
ville, member elect to Congress from bis district.
From those who beard it, we learn that the address
was a powerful and most effective one, and indicates
the influence that Mr. Harris will be likely to wield in
the councils of the nation. Mr. John Seals, of Cuth-
bert, President of the Male College, delivered the ad,
dress to the Sophomore readers and delivered the
prizes. Colonel C. T. Goode, of Americus, the "silver-
tongued orator,” made the address before tbe literary
society on Tuesday, fully sustaining bit reputation
as one of tho most effective speakers in the State.
There Las been some changes recently in tbe Fac
ulty, Rev. J. B. McGhee retiring, and Mr. A. II. Flew
ellyn taking his place.
This institution, located at Cuthbert, our old home,
is, we are gratified to see, in a highly flourishing
dition, having secured a thoroughly competent fac
ulty and good patronage.
THE COURTS.
Superior Court.
O. L.
8, JUDGE 1
PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.
We regret that in our report of the procedings
this Coart on Wednesday, the types made us say that
Colonel Mynatt made a half hour’s speech in tbe
Blacker case.
The truth was, hie able speech lasted one hour aud
half.
The Bedell case occupied the whole day yesterday.
The deronse examined several v.'itnesses yesterday
morning without eliciting any additional material fact.
Yesterday evening, however, they proved by policemen
Haynes that Rasberry told him be fired first, Bedell
having first drawn his pistol.
The State introduced several witnesses mainly to
identification of the pistols, balls, etc., all of which,
with the prisoner's coat, etc., and a plan of the ground
were introduced in evidence.
Judge Hopkins admitted the written testimony of
W. H. Harrison, witness for the defense—token down
on the preliminary trial—over the objection of the
State’s counsel. The ground on which it was admit
ted was that the testimony of the witness on the stand
was inaccessible. The testimony was closed at 3>*
o’clock, p. m. Colonel Spencer opened the argument
for the State. Colonel N. J. Hammond wiB conclude
for the State, the Solicitor-General being too unwell to
speak.
Colonel Candler and General L. J. Gartreli made the
arguments for the defense. It is not probable that the
argument will be concluded before this morning.
Colonel Candler was speaking when tho reporter left
the court room yesterday morning.
During the progress of the trial yesterday morning,
Mr. J. A. Tolleson, a witness for the defense, was
brought in under an attachment, and was evidently
considerably under the influence of liquor. He swore,
however, he was not drinking, and made a rambling
statement of the matter. After the jury had retired to
their room at the dinner hour, Judge Hopkins had
Tolleson bronght before him. Tolleson now taid he
bad taken one drink. Judge H. now requested Dr. H.
L. W. Craig to take Tolleson into a room, and ascertain
tbe cause cf his condition. (The doctor was eminently
qualified for this work, combining the experience of a
local editor with great professional tkill). The doctor
reported Mr. Tolleson under th* Influence
cf intoxicating liquors. Mr. Tolleson now ad
mitted that he had taken two drinks.
Judge Hopkins then said: "Mr. Tolleson, I shall
have to punish you. The defendant in this case deem *
ed you a material witness for his defense. It was his
right and the right of the State to have your testimony
free from this miserable cloud of whisky. I am aware
of your destitute condition It docs not matter, how.
ever, how pitiable tho object, I must protect this busi
ness. The defendant is on trial for bis life. You are
sworn as a witness and leave the court room and go
off and become intoxicated. I shall tend yon to the
coudy pribou until you are thoroughly sober.”
Judge Hopkins then directed the Sheriff to confine
Mr. Tolleson in tho county prison for^the space of five
days.
No other business was transacted .in the Court du
ring the day.

It was onr good fortune to attend the exhibition laat

Bnt are satisfied from what we know of him personal

are held by the community generally, and from the

Atlanta Makes a Reply to A. Murphy.
June 27, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald :
Tho article in Thursday’s Herald from Mr. A.
Murphy, purporting to be a review of our few para
graphs on the water question, was not, wo sub*
mlt, a review in any sense whatever. Nor has he
answered any one of the points mado iu tbat '
modest and very cautiously worded epistle. Iustead,
though, he proceeds to assault us with our earnest
ness and zeal, that certainly showB to impartial minds
that he has a very deep and tender feeling in this
mattor. Evidently for years ho has been loosing
sleep on this vexed subject. Now, so much labor and
thought and snch anxiety as ho seems to have ia the
interest of citizons who have not come among us,
has certainly enabled him to form a plau by which
bo expects to water these thousands and pay for the
same. He has his plans as well as estimates, we
should supposo, then why docs he fail to give the tax
payers some light? Hear his answer; ho says, "The
Board are at all times williDg to give any information
that will not work an Injury to tho city’s good.” How
fortunate we aro iu having a Board of Water Com
missioners who will not tell the taxpayers any of
their secrets that might be calculated to cause them
to fear the coming of the collector.
How tantalizing it is In Mr. M. to say to the citizens
of Atlanta, that the Board has information that if you
possessed, the dearest interests of all might be
jeoparded. What a pity it is "such things are, aud
o’orcome us as a summer cloud, without our spocial
wonder.”
But friends, readers, tax payers, he aereno, for we
know tbia Board are onr friends—tbat some of them
pay heavy taxes; tbat they have been in our cily long
enough to see a generation pass away, aud we have
Mr. Murphy’s word that no Information detrimental
to tbe city, shall be mado public.
Mr. Murphy denies that he wants tho Chattahoo
chee water, but seems to think most people do. Now,
if ho Is opposed to pumping at tbe Chattahoochee,
what reason can he give for his rather nervous pro
duction of the 25th ? What point did we make iu our
little paper that offended him ? We named him not
•e commissioner or citizen. Wrote nothing legitimate
ly construed, offensive or personal to any one. Yet,
yeaterday, we were fired into fore and aft by an open
antagonist, and accused of being an enemy to the
city’s good.
Mr. Murphy, In Uis list of insinuations and bold
charges, bos certainly foregone the demands of the
hour, and, like tfnt Lovingood’s daddy when he a:ted
boss, rather "overdid the thing.”
The body snd essence of our offense bath this ex
tant—we approved of s cheap, adequate and common-
sense system of water works, which were ao unfortu
nate ss to militate with cherished plans of my friend
Mr. Morphy—snd it does seem that he would almost
Immolate us, in order that other raah scribblers might
see the fate of one who wanted water only for the pre
sent generation.
If we had known Mr. Murphy's plans ws might
have followed In his wake, if It did not cost too
mnoh. bat on the finance question we think for our
selves. Huppos©, Mr. Murphy, you tell us Just how
Go to Knox’s to get a pair of the celebrated
“Joseph” Kid Gloves, or one of those cool
Linen Hats for tho children. Also, Linen
Belts, and all the latest novelties in Ladies
and Misses’ Hats.
