CARTER3VIIXE, OA., MCH. 14th, 1871.
The Stale University.
We have always regarded this Insti
tution of learning second to none in
North America, and we believe that a
just consideration of the benefits which
she has conferred Upon the country at
large, and the State of Georgia in par
ticular, from its foundation in the year
1802, down to the present period,
w onld only serve to justify the opinion.
True, she baa never been so largely
endowed nor so extensively patronized
as Yale or Princeton, and many other
Institutions of like character in the
Union, nor has she, perhaps, gained
as much celebrity abroad, or been so
widely known as some of them, yet not
one of them has exerted a more power
ful and decided influence upon the
status of society at home, or upon the
general interests of the country than
Franklin College. It may be that a
personal prejudice in her favor, for
she is our Alma Mater, may go far
towards forming this conclusion, yet
such is our opinion honestly and ad
miringly entertained. We know, too,
that that distinguished scholar and
finished Christian gentleman, Alonzo
Church, L. L. D., one of her most
honored and useful presidents, a native
of Vermont, and a graduate of Mid
dlebury College, who, for many years,
most ably guided her destinies, believ
ed that while her c, ionium of studies
was not so far advanced or so extensive
as that of some others, yet, for all
the purposes of a practical education,
and a preparation of the student for
“the serious business” of life, and ulti
mate usefulness, resulting from her
peculiar disciplinary regulations and
the active educational co-operation of
the Demosthenian and Phi Kappa So
cieties connected with tire Institution,
that she was to be preferred to them
all. We remember, too, that a distin
guished gentleman of Georgia, one
who has since then, worthily worn the
judicial ermine, being matriculated at
Franklin, left her for Yale, under the
idea that the latter afforded the better
advantages, after remaining at New
Haven for awhile, returned again to
Athens, with the decided opinion that
lie had committed a great e:ror, and
that old Franklin was Unmistakeably,
4;he best. He then finished his educa
bis diploma, and lir« since
Then iionored liis “Nursing Mother,”
by distinction and honors gained in
the forum and on the bench. Other
testimony of a like character might be
easily adduced to the same point,
which would go to show that our opin
ion is not the offspring of prejudice or
bias, but is based upon her solid, sub
stantial merit. We are glad that is
so, and so declare it. For nearly sev
enty years her mild and steady light
has shone over the land, dispensing
its favors; all around. South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi,
have been largely her beneficiaries,
while Georgia, from the graduation of
her first class down to this day, has,
from to year, annually been called up
on to bless and thank this fostering
mother of her best and brightest intel
lects. The Bar, the Bench, the Pulpit,
the Press, the Medical Fraternity,
claim their most honored and distin
guished members as her pupils, while
Judges, Orators, Historians, States
men, Senators and Bishops, good men
and great men, men of national, nay,
world-wide reputation, willingly, cheer
fully, thankfully lay all their honors at
her feet. There is no vain State ego
tism when we say that Georgia may
well compare her prominent men with
those of any other portion of the
country, and feel no apprehension at
the verdict that might be rendered in
the case—her great men dead, and
her living great, alumni of Franklin
College, would forbid it. The gentle
men who now compose the Faculty, as
a collective body, perhaps present a
stronger array of ability than any
which has preceded it, while the Chan
cellor of the University, stands une
qualled by any who have ever presided
over this venerable Institution. What
was once a College is now a University,
at last fulfilling the original idea of its
founders, and it is our earnest hope
that it may surpass its ancient fame
and usefulness., We fear, however,
that a fatal mistake has been made
by the Board of Trustees, in abolishing
the Sophomore Declamations, and the
Junior Exhibitions which have usually,
hitherto been held on the Commence
ment occasions, and that one of the
strongest incentives to a generous em
ulation and improvement among the
students, is taken away. We deeply
regretted this action when we beard
of it, last Summer, for many good and
sufficient reasons, and we believe that
it will result in the injury of the stu
dents, and the University itself. VVe
see it stat ed by a correspondent of one
of our leading papers, that “the next
Commencement will be on an entirely
new programme. Instead of the Jun
iors and Sophomores discharging their
eloquence on the suffering public, an
orator from the alumni, and one cho
! sen from the Societies, will speak on
Monday and Tuesday. We trust that
I this improvement, not ni aided by an
i alunmi dinner, will draw a large crowd
and insure success.” Now, this which
i
is here called an improvement, we con
sider anything else, and it forms the
I very ground of objection which, as a
devoted friend of the Institution, we
' make. The University was established
; for the sole purpose of cultivating the
: youth who are sent there, this and
| this only, was its design. By the ar
| rangements which are how made, if
we understand them, and have been
properly informed, this great end will
be most ma.erially obstructed.
In older to excite application, and
keep alive a generous ambition to ex
cel and improve, it has a.wavs been
necessary to place before the young,
such honors and posts of distinction
as are generally thought to be worthy
of attainment. Hence it has been
j considered, in order to cultivate the
art of oratory among the students, a
capital idea <o put before the Sopho
mores, prizes for the best deelaimer,
generally two in number. At Com
| mencernent the young gentlemen of
| that class appear in public, before
| the assembled multitude in the chapel,
and there contend with each other
for these prizes. Prior to this contest
for two years they have devoted them
selves to the cultivation of all their
speaking faculties, with a view to this
very trial, each striving, with all his
might, in order that he may obtain
the prize; and thus, through this very
spirit of emulation and rivalry, is cul
tivated to its highest degree, whatever
of excellency as an orator, each may
possess, and many who, without this,
would never have been known as
sp -akers at all, became prominent con
testants for the honor, and often wear
it worthily. In the effort to gain the
prize, the solid improvement for future
usefulness is acquired. But this mo
tive for improvement is now removed,
and with it, we fear, the improvement
itself. Again. Hitherto, at every
Ccmmencement, a select number of
the most worthy of the Junior Class,
made original addresses before the
people in the chapel. These were se
lected by the Societies in part, and by
the Faculty in part. The first because
of their superiority as declaimants, and
debutants. the last because of their
excellency in scholarship. To be a
Junior orator, was always considered
by the students, a post of no mean or
der and second only to the higher
honors distributed at the close of the
collegiate career, to the Senior Class.
All who have ever been members of
Franklin College, know with what avid
ity they were sought, and how it was
the means of an improvement in de
bate, which could not have easily been
derived from any other source. To
speak well, to debate well, and to write
well, are objects worthy of all-commen
dation ; and to these purposes, the
Demosthenian and Phi Kappa Socici
eties have always devoted themselves
with a most laudable and untiring zeal.
They have always been most powerful
and beneficial adjuncts to the Univer
sity, and have done quite as much to
the preparation of her youth for the
duties and responsibilities of active
life as she has herself. Georgia has
been renowned for her able public
speakers, and we hesitate not to state
that to these Societies she is in a large
measure indebted in this behalf. Her
distinguished men are evidence of this
fact, and could they be called upon to
give testimony on this point they would
unanimously respond in the affirma
tive. We are not careful to particu
larize them, we have not the time,
their name is legion. No one, as a
general rule, could ever reach this dis
tinguished post among his fellow-stu
dents, unless he was distinguished in
his Society as a young man of decided
ability, and the consequence was, that
every energy was used to accomplish
themselves in oratory and debate, and
in scholarship, too, that they might be
deemed worthy to fill the honorable,
and to them, distinguished post of Jun
ior Orator; and to this very cause,
more than to any other, is to be at
tributed the fact, that Franklin Col
lege has’ given to the State so many
men of ready and eloquent power.—
This now, we understand, te all aban
ed, and for the future the Junior has
no motive to “strive for the mastery,”
other than his own personal ambition
to do well, without the hope of present
preferment. Side exhibitions at the
end of the terms before his fellow-stu
dents, auniversarian celebrations, how
ever excellent and proper, and one
single post as a speaker, at Commence
ment, from among the students, can
not repair the wrong which we believe
is done to the students and to the In
stitution. An alumni dinner will
doubtless be a good thing, and we
should be pleased to be there, and
meet with old friends, and renew old
associations, and talk of the post, and
help the College, too, as far as we
might, and eat the dinner, too, but we
doubt, capitally, whether a pleasant
re-union of this sort, aided as it may
be by the eloquence of some gre. -
beaded graduate as alumui oratcr,
will be a sufficient recompense to the
injured Sophomore and Junior, and
the no less injured Societies, College
and State.
It may be said that Franklin Col
lege, is now no longer a College but
a University, and that on a University
plan, this change must needs be made;
in reply to which, we barely remark:
that no system ought to be maintain
ed merely because it is a system,
which is liable to operate injuriously.
Furthermore, the crowd who assemble
usually at Athens, on these occasions,
are not the parties to be benefitted by
all these venerable and expensive Uni
versity arrangements, they are, fqr the
most part, mere seekers of pleasure,
“lookers on in Vienna;” intriguing
politicians, or lads and lasses in pur
suit of matrinony, with here and there,
some proud father and affectionate
.mother or sister, come to witness the
effort of a beloved sou or brother; and
it would be a small mat er indeed,
whether they should be wearied by
the prolonged exercises or not. The
object is the improvement of our
youth, and the good of the State
It is with much reluctance that we
have written and published the above.
The Trustees are able and competent,
many of them of large experience, and
devoted to the best interest of the
University acid being “masters of the
situation,” it is hardly to be presumed
w'ould commit an error; and yet, duty
and conviction impel us to suy that
just here they might do no harm to
reconsider.

This gentleman has lately writtm a
letter to the Augusta Chronicle Sen
tinel, of which we give the following
synopsis:
He places-a high estimate on the
power and usefulness of the press if
well conducted; learned to love and
honor the press of Georgia in ’67, then
it was bold and manly, when leaders
were silent and timid. Thinks that it
now makes statements without evi
dence; gives loose rumors the dignity
of charges, and learns facts that do not
exist, from “reliable authority.” Says
the Chronicle could not possibly have
any authority for stating that he vas
to be tendered a seat in the Cabinet,
nor that he would accept it, or that a
movement of this kind was made in
November. Could have no facts au
thorizing the statement that he sought
association with certain gentlemen in
the lease of the State Road, or that
Gov. Bullock has an interest in the
lease, or that he ever had a debate with
Gov. Brown on the subject of allowing
Bullock to have a share under cover of
a “Northern friend.” No authority for
saying that he was preparing a reply
to Judge Stephens’ speech before Svvay
ze. Dues not suppose Grant ever hon
ored him with a thought in connection
with his Cabinet, but understands that
Grant regards him as chief of the Ka
Klux— denies it. Never had a thought
of being in the Cabinet; if Grant should
make the tender, he would regard it as
the highest evidence of an intention to
administer the government in a spirit
of equal justice to the South, and be
gin to suspect that there was some
foundation for the rumor that Grant
expected the nomination of the Demo
cratic party in 1872. Is anxious for
the real facts in the case of the lease
to be known, and will give them at an
ea.ly day through the Chronicle. Saw
nothing in Judge Stephens’ speech
needing reply—has often presented the
same arguments on the 14th and 15th
amendments himself before, and thinks
the scene before Swayze narrowly es
capes the ridiculous—and does noi
think the Judge alluded to him in his
speech under the name of Daniel—
says Stephens’ plan for getting rid of
the amendments and the government
under them, and the work of the new
ly elected Democratic legislature with
them which is to elect a Democratic
President who will withdraw all troops,
and proclaim all these things nullities,
beats Dank 1 a bow shot, and is sadly
visionary. Says that that portion of
the Judge’s speech devoted to the case
before Swayze was conclusive, he was
doing nothing except under legal pro
cess, which can be no crime, was en
forcing the law. That Several other
citizens wore arrested on similar charg
es, but no others made it. an occasion
for a political t-pewia, ami all the pros
ecutions will end in nothing Regrets
that Stephens made tho speech, thinks
Stephens will do so before he is two
years older. Says with confidence tha.
it is outside if the, policy of 1872. Says
his address was well considered and
intends in a short tiny to writs a few
short notes on it; desires and will have
no personal controversy; shall try to
make clear the path of duty to our
people, and believes that four out of
five of them will agree with him in a
few months. Thinks there was no ty
pographic .1 error In Blair’s speech, and
is still of the opinion that successful
usurpation may become law. Thinks
it well to keep cool, fellow sufferers
should not quarrel; if we cannot ex
actly have our way, take.the next best;
and that if some people are not care
ful, they may say ouch they will have
to recall, or find theuiseives carried out
of the Democratic party precisely as
he was carried into it, by events, not by
choice. Calls himself a Democrat, and
concludes by declaring, that he is fully
convinced that tin 1/ernocratic party
of the North does not intend to run
the next Presidential race on a fool’s
schedule.

WALTHAM
WATCHES.
The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, the most exact
ing of watch-wearers, has thoroughly de
monstrated the strength, steadiness, durabil
ity and accuracy of the W ltharn watch.—
To satify that class in all these respects, is
to decide the question as to the real value of
these time-keepers.
More than 500,000 of these watches
are now speaking for themselves in the
pockets of the people—a proof and a guar
antee of their superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great ex
tent of the Company’s Work’s at Waltham,
enables them to produce watches at a price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay 25 to
50 per cent, more for their watches than is
necessary-
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in watch-making
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which
severe testing by the most skillful~'artisans
in our works, and long use on the part of
the public, demonstrated to be essential to
correct and enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize :
The invention and use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch
Company, who, having had the refusal of all
other contrivances, adopted Fogg s patent
pinion as being best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs,now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof
caps, protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-wind r, or keyless
watch is already a decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offer
ed to the public. To those Hving in por
tions of the United States where watch
makers do not abound, watches with the
above mentioned improvements which tend
to insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability
and convenience, must proye invaluable.

DR. JOHN BULL—Dear Sir: Last February I was
in Louisville purchasing Drugs, and I got some of
your Sarsappartlla and Cedron Bitters.
My aon-in-law, who was with me in the store, has
been down with rheumatism for some time, commen
ced on the Bitters, am' soon found his general health
improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried them
and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health for several
years —stomach and liver affected--he improved very
much by the use of your Bitters. Indeed the Cedron
Bitters has given you great Popularity in this settle
ment. I think I could sell a great quantity of your
medicines this fall—especially of your Cedron Bitt«™
and Sarsaparilla. Ship me via Memphis car*
