Atlanta Public Schools 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 Spalding, made brief, but vlgorons speeches. Some 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 id.as, la behalf of the reading class of the Society, pm anted a beautifully bound copy of "Tennyson’s Jdy js” to Mrs. Mallon, as an evidence of tbeir regard iOK her. M E. E. Bawson rose and stated that he would be •B) to give $10 to the Society. Immediately tbe same MB rant was contributed by Dr A T Spalding, W A fib »son, O H Jones, Professor W H Baker. Profeaeor Mellon, Judge McCay. Mr Hunnicutt, of the firm of Hgnnlcutt A BelUngrath. Mr Peters, H C Glenn, Misses Kellie Peters, Clayton, Hay good, and others nuking In the aggregate about $150. Miss Fay, in resigning her position aa President read aa appropriate address. Profeaeor Mallon announced that the exercises of the graduating class of the Girls’ High School wonld take place at Concordia Hall on Monday lng next at sight o’clock. This class consists of flf- teen yonng ladies, eleven of whom will graduate and In reference to tbe other four the Profeaeor stated that they ware prepared and could graduate if they desired to do so, bat that they had determined to •mbraoe tha opportunity afforded of improving the term. Fear or five yonng men of the graduating dess of the Boys’ High School will receive their di plomas at the same time and place. Rev. Dr. Lips comb of the State University will deliver an address cm this 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. mthimsts. Atlanta District Conference at Decatur. Bishop Fierce Presiding. Attendance Increased. Second Day’s Proceedings. Encouraging Reports from the Watchmen on Zion’s Walls. Decatur, June 27, 1873. At 9 o’clock, a. M., tho Conference was opened by Bishop George F. Pierce with religions services, after which the regular order of business was taken up— which was hearing repoita from the Pastors of Church- and Delegates, as to the condition of the Church in its parts. 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., opened with religious services, conducted by Rev. E. . Mur rah. The evening session was taken np with the contin uation of tho reports from the charges, which gave renewed evidences of the prosperity of the Church throughout the District. Af’.er a most harmonious session the Conference adjourned at five o’clock to meet again this morning at nine o'clock. Prominence is given to religious services. Sermons every morning at eleven o’clock and eight p. m., and well attended. Conference will continue through to-day and Sun day, and hopes are entertained cf a gracious revival before tbe session closes. 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. Collins AT JON ES If OHO. From the Herald’s Special Correspondent The Exhibition—A Grand Success — Mrs. Eckford’s Mnsic Class—Recitation by John R. Scott. Jokehdoro, June 27,1873. It was onr good fortune to attend the exhibition laat evening at the Clayton Academy, which ia under the management of Professor J. S. McDowell, ably assist ed by Mias Johnson, a most charming and accom plished lady. Being a mere visitor we cannot say bow long the Professor has had charge of this school. Bnt are satisfied from what we know of him personal ly, from the estimation in which he and his assistant are held by the community generally, and from the evidence of proficiency witnessed last evening, that Jonesboro has every reason to be prond of this Insti tution, and should give it a most cordial and gcn*rous support. But to the exhibition last evening. Tbe Academy is one of respectable proportions with a suitable ros trum, which was arranged with curtains for the differ ent scenes and very tastefully adorned with festoons of evergreens and flowers and appropriate mottoes. At an early honr the room was jammed with people. Precisely at eight o’clock the performances began. MRS. B. O. ECKFORD, one of the most accomplished and worthy music teachers ot yonr city was present by specis| invitation, with eight of her scholars, Misses Annie lsbsm, Lntie Jackson, Georgia Ball, Hattie Bigdon Nora Mogill. Lucie Erwin, Saliie Whitner, and Mary a] Whitner, to famish the mnsic. Tbe arrangement was properly made, and everything passed off as well ss those most interested could possibly wish. MR. J. R. SCOTT, the exce Bent elocutionist, also of yonr city, was pres ent. and In his own inimitable manner added largely to the pleasure of this unusually pleasant occasion It would la Impossible, in the limits of this letter Justice i» its. Justice Munday, yesterday, had Lncinda Wooten, (colored) brought before him on a charge of assault and battery committed upon tho person of Belle Tan ner, (colored). The warrant was withdrawn by the prosecutor. Tbe possessory warrant Issued at the Instance of Mrs. Rboda O'Sbealds, against Harvey O'Shea Ids, her husband, was investigated by Justice Munday yester day. It was for the possession of homestead property. Justice Monday dismissed the warrant, holding that each of the parties had an equal interest in tho property, and it was not his province to divide it. Tbe other Magistrates and the U. S. Commissioners were idle yesterday, so far ss criminal basinets is con cerned. W. H.

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. That’s what they all s^y!
