Editor Enquirer-BunYeeterday wae
, the great day of the year to the people of
this aeotion, and aa early aa seven o’olook
they asm. flowing in from the anrronnd-
ing country in awarme. Long before the
exeroi.es oemmenoed it wae evident that
the ohnrah wonld not hold more than ona-
half the peraon. present.
The graduating olaas, whioh oontained
twenty-fonr student*, waa repreaonted on
the platform by twelve .peahen, the ma
jority of whioh did exoeedingly well.
. The honor, of tha oollega were borne
away by Heun. W. W. Lewi.) of Oreone
oonnty, first j M. T. Burks, Henderson,
Texas, aeoond; B. H. Lewis, Bpsrta,
third; Selwyn L. Smith, fourth honor.
Among the graduate, known to yoor
leaders, we me; mention A. F. Barnett,
aon of Col. N. C. Barnett, of Atlanta; J.
M. Myers, son of Bev. Dr. E. H. Myers,
"of Maoon; W. W. Lewis, eon of Hon.
' 11. W. Lewis, Greensboro j Selwyn L.
..Smith, son of Bev. Dr. O. L. Smith, and
H. Stevens, son of H. Btevens, Buena
. Vista.
The Baeoalanreate Address of Presi
dent Smith waa brief, earnest and appro
priate, and contained mneh sound advioe
to the young men who were so soon to go
out into the busy world and assume its
duties and responsibilities.
Then followed the conferring of the
degree of Bachelor of Arts upon the en
tire class ; and the degree of Doctor of
Divinity npon Bev. Prof. W. O. Ban and
Rov. Prof. O. W. Smith, of the Wesleyan
Female College, Maoon, and Bev. Brink-
ley M. Messiok, pastor of a Methodist
ohuroh in Louisville, Ky. ; the degree of
Doctor of Laws upon the Bev. E. M.
Muvin, D. D., Bishop of the Methodist
Church, South, and Bev. J. O. A. Clark,
D. D , of Waynesboro, Ga., formerly a
professor in this oollege.
The conferring of the degree npon
Prof. Bass was very timely, a. he has just
been elected to succeed Bev. Dr. Myers
as President of the Wesleyan Female Col
lege, at Macon, an institution to whioh he
has moat devotedly and eflloiantly given
his best talents and undiminiahad ener
gies during the past fifteen years.
The annual Literary Addreae to the
Phi-Gamma and Few Societies, set on the
programme for yesterday afternoon, was
delivered by the Hon. Thomas Hardeman,
Jr., of Macon,and was attentively listened
to by s vast andienoe of ladies and gentle
men. Although leboriug under a severe
indisposition, the speaker threw an un-
naual amount of earnestness and power
Into the delivery of his excellent prodoo.
tion, in whioh he treated, inoidentally,
many subjeola, but in the main sought to
ereate in the hesrte and minds of his
hearers a higher estimate of the exalted
, position and boundless reaouroes of Geor
gia, and a deeper and more steadfast in
vest in all her future growth and devel-
j'.opment. His references to the noble
Read of the Btate, and his appeal to the
young men not to forsake the grand old
' "Empire Btate” of the South, were elo
quent and effective, and oallad forth pro-
„ longed and hearty applause. This olosed
the oommeooement exeroisee of 1874, and
after the benedlotion from the Ups of the
able Dr. Loviok Pieros, the vast
throng dispersed, to assemble no more un
til similar scenes shall call them together
.a year hence.
At night the various societies of the
•college held their sooial levees, and mirth,
music and sweet converse made the bants
fly past on swift and noiseless feet.
.From the seashore to the mountains, the
ibeautyand chivairy of Georgia was as-
isembled. Savannah, Augusts, Maoon,
Atlanta and smaller dtles contributed to
sweU the ro^ki of the reigning beUes.
The midnight hour found many of the
more susoeptible belles and beanx stUi
lingering about the classic HaUsof the
Phi Gamma and Few Societies, reluotant
to bid adieu to familiar aoanas and dearer
friends.
It will be gratifying to you numerous
Methodist readers, among whom ire many
of the honored alumni of this iustitntion,
to know that the prospects and condition
. of Emory College are bright and enoour-
The present oommenoement has
rn that President Smith and his asso-
t have kept np end improved the lit-
r standard, while Bishop Pieroe, with
accustomed seal and success, has
ed the financial matters of the Col-
upon a substantial basis. Nearly ten
nd dollars have bean given or
dged, during the past few days, to the
lowment of professorship* and the
otion of the proposed new chapel and
ory. These buildings, with the
smaller chapel for religious aervices,
which ia now nearly completed, will be
fluisbed and ready for use within the
next twelve months—two handsome build
ings bnve been finished and ocoupiod du
ring the past year—and from that period,
it is hoped, a higher and more gloilons
career will dawn upon this venerable end
time-honored institution, who: e graduates
have filled, and many of them still occu
py, exalted public stations, er stand forth
upon the foremost towers of Zion as
faithful preachers of the Gospel.
We oannot bring to a dose our hasty
and brief letters from this point, imper
fect at they have been in mamv other re
spects, without making a public acknow
ledgment of the unbounded and unwea
ried hospitality of the good people of
Oxford on this oeeeaion. Oar own thanks
are due President Smith, Dr. Callaway,
and Prof. Stone, for favors' shown us in
our editorial espsefty. ’ But Yrf the latter
gantlemau, whose kindness of heart and
generous hospitality are proverbial, we
are deeply indebted, through our young
friend, Mr. Don Q. Abbott, for a must
delightful homo during our stay here
There are fow nobler specimens of tho
purest type of an exalted womanhood
than MrB. Prof. Blobs, whose daily (lo-
meatio life so beautifully exemplifies the
doctrines of Christ which her now sainted
father, Bishop Capers, made so attrac
tive by his eloquence of apeook
and holiness of life. Nor is it
strange that snoh a mother should
have growing np abont bar daughters
whose own characters are being rightly
moulded and developed by the gracious
influences that flow from a quiet and oon
soientious discharge of her maternal du
ties. Well were it for the future of our
country, not to speak of its present needs
in this respect, if there were more anoh
noble, old-fashioned mothers, and well-
trained and useful daughters. Long shall
we remember their Madness to as, and
never shall we lose from our heart the
sweet Influence that gathered around it
from the beanty and holinesa of this
family eircle.

New You, July 27.—The following is
a portion of tbe Tilton croae examination
before the Beecher inveetigaling commit-
xsittee i
“Have yon not frequently asserted the
parity of your wife 7"
“No; I have always had a strong tecta
nioal use of words; I have always
UHed words Hint conveyed thot
impression; I have taken pains to
aay that she was a devoted, ohristian wo-
That necessarily oovered the otb
er, as he took it. I do not think it cov
ered the whole. I have laid that Elisa
beth waa a tender, deUosta, kindly, ohtis-
tlsn woman, which I think she is."
“Have y*u not stated that aba was as
pnro as an angel 7”
‘No; I have not sought to give Eliza
beth a good charaotor. I bava always
wanted to do so. I think she deserves a
good character. I think she is batter
then moat of us—better than I am. I do
not believe, in point of aetnal moral
gooduesa—barring some drawbiolm—thst
there is in this oompany so whits a aoul
as Elizabeth Tilton."
To the question as to bis wife's devo
tion and purity of life, witness said, she
was pure, unless a technical meaning was
applied to the word “pnrity." She
sought consultation of her pastor, and he
took advantage of her orthodox views to
make them a net and mesh ia whioh be
ensnared her, and for whioh witness held
some eontompt whioh no other English
words could describe.
“You say for a yearnfterwhat you state
as Mrs. Tiltotffl confession, she insisted
she bud not violated her marriage vows 7"
Yea, Elizabeth was in a sort of vapor
ous cloud. She was between light nnd
dark. She oould not see that it wss
wrong. She mentioned to her mother in
my presence that she had not dona wrong.
She cannot boar to do wrong. A sense
of haring done wrong is enough to orash
ber. She naturally seeks for her own
pesos a conscientious vardiot. She never
would havo had these relatious, if she
had supposed at the time that they ware
wrong. Elizabeth nevor aloes anything
that at the time seems wrong. For such
a large moral nature, there ia n Isok of
s csrtsin balsuoe and equipoise. She has
not a will that guides and rastrains, bat
Elizabeth never does at any time that
which does not havo the stamp of her
conscience at the time npun it.”
“Do yon say that she did or did not in
sist that sho had never violated her mar
riage vows?”
“She always was saying that it nevor
seemed to her wrong, and, ‘Theodora, I do
aot see that I have now wronged yon."'
Tilton described in detail their improp
er caress, which oecurred in the parlor
while looking over engravings, Baying that
Beecher touched slyly Mrs. Tilton’s lower
limbs. t‘
He said of the bed-room aoene: “I
wont to tho mom door; Eliziboth oame,
and 1 w is surprise J; tha door waa locked;
sho was sur'-.sud at finding me; Beecher
waa Bitting in a rod-plush rockiug chair,
with his vest nubottoned; his feoo color-
ed liko u rose when I saw him.”
“The explanation was satisfactory to
you on that occasion?”
“Entirely so; I should have thought
nothing of it had I not wondered at tha
door being locked. ”
“What was the explanation given which
yon found satisfactory 7”
loving and knowing him to be long an
abusod man, and that be still shrunk from
hurting others in order to shield himself,
I resolved thst this defenoe should be
published, and I published it. I did so
without his knowledge or consent, and I
did right, and stand by tho act of justice
to a man who has been wronged, aud to a
community that haa tne right to know all
tha foots.”
Beecher Uets Love Letters by tbe
4'ertl and His Wile Reads Thcui.
A gentleman whose official business has
lad him to reooive aud open most of
Beecher's correspondence, said last eve
ning: “In Beeehet’s love letters you
would be surprised to know how foolishly
soma women write to him. Every once
in a while a woman gets a little oraiy and
write* to Beecher to tell him how much
■he adores biin. The letters used to go
to the Independent office sud Tilton, un
der directions from Beeoher, opened
them. Many of them he made oopies of,
and to-day has manuscripts, names and
oopies ot b t.oir, *U oonneoUd with res
pectable ladies who have written to Beech
er all abont their lov* for him.
H* receives love letters by tha
ream and cord and tho joke of it
ia that aa his wito takes earn of all letters
thst oome to him, she reads his love-let
ters before be sees them. Mrs. Tilton’i
letters to Beecher were very affectionate
and enthusiastic, and expressed a deep
pervading love in him. Mrs. Beecher
read them all before he saw them, and
they are ail in her possession now. When
the soaodal was first noised about, Mrs.
Beaeber looked np tbs letters, and at Mrs.
Tilton's request has presented them to
her. Yon
Csi't Convince Mrs. Beecber
that her husband is guilty of anything that
Tilton oharges. Sho saya that if aU the
women in creation wero to swear that
Beeober had been unfaithful, she would
not believe them.
Tilton Charges that tbe Plymouth
Committee Omits the Moat
Important Evidence.
New Yobz, July 27.—Theodor* Tilton
pnbliahcs a card calling the publio atten
tion to tha fact that the Plymouth Ohuroh
Committee, in it* publication of the testi.
mony, omita the most important fact*
namely—that the criminality whioh his
sworn statement charged upon Beeoher
and Mrs. Tilton was confessed to him
(TiltoD) not only by his wife, but by
Beeoher; and furthermore, that it was
confessed by her and him toMr. Moulton,
as tbe friend and counselor of both ; and
still further, that Moulton’s mediation
between Beeoher and Tilton was baaed on
the one solo fact of this pre-existing
criminality between Beeoher and Mrs,
Tilton.
