Mr. Woodridge’s Lecture.—Our
citizens had the pleasure of listening
to the lecture of Mr. J. II. Woldridge
(the “ Blind Soldier”) in the old Sen
ate Chamber on last Thursday eve
ning. on "The air we breathe."
The lecture was highly interesting
and instructive. We have neyer heard
abetter lecture, and know of no bet
ter specimen of popularized science. Its
learning was profound and comprehen
sive, and yet so lucidly treated that
the merest novice could comprehend
it.
We wish we had more of such lec
tures. In this “ Dolly Varden” age, the
world seems more and more carried
away with mere display. We need the
solid and substantial as mental food
more than ever before. How well this
can be combined with the seasoning
of eloquent illustration, and all the
charms of chaste yet fascinating deliv
ery, Mr. Woldridge’s Lecture well
shows.

Our Thompson Visitors.—Our
city was captured by a “storm party,”
of visitors on last Friday. We might
add, if all accounts be true, not only
captured, but some of our nice young
men actually captivated. And well
they might be; tor a handsomer lot
of girls, and altogether considering
both sexes, a more elegant set of “ex
cursionists” than the Thompsoniaus ot
last Friday, we have never seen on this
sublunary sphere. They visited the
public buildings, giving the old Capi
tol especially a merry old-fashioned
look. Considering that McDuffie
county has nobly spoken in favor of a
return of the Seat of Government
hither, we take this friendly and wel
come visit as possessing great signifi
cance. Come again, gills ! The un
fortunate junior editor of this paper,
and writer hereof, was indisposed; and
sorry enough he is. He is a candidate
for captivity. Glowing accounts ot
your fascinations reach him from all
quarters. We trust the merry party
had a pleasant time, and experienced
a safe aud successful return to their
homes.
i M|of the members of Mrs. Col. McAdoo’s
class in the above important branches
of an education. In most of the
books we saw the beginnings of very
marked excellence in both these beau
tiful arts. Any experienced eye would
at once see in the books, that the
teacher has a happy tact of giving in
struction and at awaking interest in
her pupils. Mrs. McAdoo brings to
this work rare native talent, high cul
ture, and an indefinite amount of un
wearied painstaking. It is doing our
Milledgeville community a service to
call attention to the fine opportunity
right at our doors, tor giving our sons
and daughters these valuable accomp
lishments. The progress of the age,
the multiplication of Commercial
Schools, the increase and improvement
in pictorial illustration, the advancing
elevation ot the public taste give a
greater relative value to drawing and
penmanship than they formerly pos
sessed. In at least one of the States,
drawing is now introduced even into
the Com mon Schools. We older people
are tolerated in writing a wretched
hand, which some of us do, but by the
time that our younger children are
middle-aged pers >ns, it will be as great
an inelegance to write a poor hand, as
bad grammar and bad pronunciation
are now. To be able to sketch from
nature, too, would be to our young
ladies an accomplishment not only
grateful and full of pleasure, but in
more ways than one, it may have a
cash value in the future. A year un
der the tuition of Mrs. McAdoo in
drawing and writing would be inval
uable to our children, without any ma
terial interference with their other du
ties. It would be a capital thing if
each of the larger schools of the city
could arrange with Mrs. McAdoo to
form a class in drawing and writing at
their own school-room. Most ot us
can hope to leave nothing of property
to our children. Let us give them the
best education attainable even tho’ it
may cost rigid economy and demand a
very sparing indulgence in Dolly Var-
dens, &c. C. W. L.
the national credit sustained under
most extraordinary burdens, and new
bonds negotiated at lower rates. The
revenues have been carefully collected
and honestly applied despite annual
large reductions of the rates ot taxa
tion. The public debt has been re
duced during Gen. Grant’s presidency
at the rate of a hundred millions a
year. A great financial crisis has been
averted, and peace and plenty prevail
throughout the land
Menacing foreign difficulties have
been peacefully and honorably com
posed, and the honor and power of
the nation kept in high respect
throughout the world. This glorious
record of the past is the party’s best
pledge for the future. We believe the
people will not entrust the Govern
ment to any party or combination ot
men, composed chiefly of those w ho
resisted every step of this beneficial
progress to a second complete liberty;
and an exact equality in the enjoyment
of all civil, political and public rights
should be established and effectually
maintained throughout the Union by
efficient and appropriate state and
Federal legislation. Neither the law
nor its administration should admit of
resumption of specie payment.
fourteenth—The Republican party
is mindful of its obligations to the loy
al women of America for the noble
devotion to the cause of freedom, and
their admission to wider fields of use-
lulness is viewed with satisfaction, and
the honest demands of any class of
citizens for additional rights should be
treated with respectful consideration.
Fifteenth—We heartily approve the
action of Cougress in extending amnes
ty to those lately in rebellion, and re
joice in the growth of peace and fra
ternal feeling throughout the land.
Sixteenth—The Republican party
propose to respect the rights reserved
by the people to themselves as care
fully as the powers delegated by them
to the State.
Seventeenth—It is the duty of the
general government to adopt such
measures as will tend to encourage
American commerce and ship build
ing
Eighteenth—We believe that the
modest patriotism, the earnest pur
pose, the sound judgment, the practi
cal wisdom, the incorruptible integri
ty and the illustrious services of Ulys
ses S. Grant have commended him to
GREAT REDUCTION OF DRY GOODS
any discrimination in respect of citi-. the hearts of the American people, and
zens by reason of race, creed, color or j with him at our head we start to day
previous condition of servitude. upon a new march to victory.
Third—The recent amendments to
the National Constitution should be
cordially sustained, because they are
right, not merely tolerated, because
they are law, and should be carried out
according to the spirit by appropriate
legislation, the enforcement of which
can be safely entrusted only to the;

Til ft GRANT NAT IONA I, CONVENTION.
Philadelphia, June 5.—Ex Governor
Claflin, of Massachusetts, called the Re
publican National Convention to order to
day, and after a brief speech in eulo
gy of tbe Republican party, called on
Rev. Alexander Reed, of Phialdelphia,
who offered prayer.
Ex-Mayor Morton McMichael, of Phil
adelphia, was then elected temporary
chairman. He made an address of thanks
for the priviledge of presiding even for a
short time, over the Convention, and of
welcoming as a Philadelphian, all the del
egates to that city. He paid the highest
tribute to Grant, saying that he was more
honest, better aud truer than his detrac
tors.
John Ilowlin, of New Jersey, Jno. R.
Hubbard, of West Virginia, and H Pat
ton, of Florida, were elected Secretaries.
Committees on Credentials and Peima-
nent Organizition were appointed, and,
afterward, Thos. Settle, of North Caroli
na, was unanimously elected President of
the Convention. Orr. of South Carolina,
and Henderson, of Missouri, were his on
ly contestants. Mr. Settle took the chair
and offered some brief remarks, after
which the Convention adjourned till 10
o’clock to-morrow.
During the day speeches were made by
Senators M rton and Logan, Gerritt Smith,
Governor Oglesby, John A. Cray, a color
ed delegate from Arkansas, and others, all
of them in warm eulogy of Grant, who, it is
declared, will he nominated by acclama
tion.
There is intense excitemerat over the
edndidate for the Vice Presidency. The
friends of Wilson and Colfax are both
working with the greatest vim.
On the question of platform, it is said
the only diversity of opinon that exists is
on the tariff.
Philadelphia, June 6.—The vote for
Grant was unanimous. In casting votes
of the delegation each chairman made a
little speech which was received with
good humor,
the most extravagant. Popham, of Vir
ginia, said her Republican people were
marching forward under her banuer,
“Sic Semper Tyranis,” and intends next
autumn to put her armed heel on the head
of the Democratic party. The gods are
just, aud Virginia must aud will be re
deemed.
After the hurley-burley had subsided,
a motion was made to suspeud the rules
and nominate a Vice President. Carried.
Pennsylvania nominated Wilson ; Mass
achusetts seconded the nomination.
Indiana nominated Colfax; Michigan
seconded the nomination. Mississippi al
so seconded the nomination, Lynch, a col
ored delegate, saying it seemed to him as
if the spirit of Lincoln is here, and he re«
membered what that patriot said on one
occasion, when he said it was not safe to
swap horses.
The proceedings were then interrupted
by the entrance <>f the platform committee.
After the adoption of the platform,
Virgin:.", nominated John F. Lewis. A
colored delegate from Texas nominated
E. J. Davis. The vote stood Wilson
3644; Coltax 321.$. Virginia changed to
Wilson which gave him the nomination.
The Convention adjourned tint die.

Eighth—We hold in undying hon
or the soldiers and sailors whose valor
saved the Union. Their pensions are
a sacred debt of the nation, and the
widows and orphans of those who died
for their country are entitled to the
care of such additional legislation as
will extend the bounty of the Govern
ment to all our soldiers and sailors
who were honorably discharged, and
who, in the line of i uty, became disa

service or the cause of such discharge.
Ninth—The doctrine of Great Brit

always a subject,” having at last,
through the efforts of trie Republi

American idea of the individual’s
right to transfer his allegiance hav

nations, it is the duty of our Govern

D....i »<• 17._ assumption of unauthorized claims
by their former governments, and we
urge continual and careful encourage
ment and protection of voluntary im
migration.
Tenth—The franking privilege
ought to be abolished, and the way
prepared for a speedy reduction of the
rate of postage.
Eleventh—Among the questions
which press for attention is that which
concerns the relations of capital and
labor, and the Republican party re
cognize the duty of so shaping legisla
tion as to secure full protection and
the amplest field for capital and for
labor, the creation of capital, the lar
gest opportunity, and a just share ol
mutual profits of these two great ser
vants of civilization*
Twelfth—We hold that Congress
and the President have only fulfilled
an emperative duty in their measures
for the suppression of violation and
treasonable organizations in certain
lately rebellious regions, and for the
protection ol the ballot box,and there
fore they are entitled to the thanks of
the nation.
Thirteenth—We denounce a repu

or disguise as a national crime, and we

tbe 5th and 6th days of June, 1S72,
again declares its faith, appeals to its
history, and announces its position
upon the questions before the country.
First—During tbe eleven years of
its supremacy it has accepted, with
grand courage, the solemn duties of
the times; it suppressed a gigantic
rebellion, emancipated 4,000,000 of
slaves, decreed the equal citizenship
of all, and established universal suf
frage. Exhibiting uuparalled magna
nimity, it criminally punished no man
for political offense, and warmly wel
comed all who proved loyalty by obey
ing the laws and dealing justly with
tht-ir neighbors. It has steadily de
creased, with firm hand, the result and
disorders of a great war, and initiated
a wise and humane policy towards the
Indians.
Second—The Pacific Railroad and
similar vast enterprises have been gen
erally aided and successfully conduct
ed. the public lands freely given to ac
tual settlers, immigration protected
