THE SEMI-.WEEKLY EXFEESS •J VS. WATT HARBIN and FAM’L H. SMITH EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. 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. B. 11. llill. 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.

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.
