1 Nearly one hundred representative
colored Democrats f rom jmore than a
dozen States, but . chieay from the
North held a meeting hert yesterday
afternoon and prganiz.ed the Negro
National Democratic League. Jas. M.
Vena, of St. Louis, was elected chair
man; ,T. T. Brown, of bpnngaeld,
Illinois, Becretary and uerbert A.
Clark, of Cincinnati, chairman of the
executive committee to be composed
of one member from each State. A
committee embracing J. IL Vena,of
St. Louis, Charles H Sheldon, of In
dians. W. T. Scott and T. T. Brown,-
of Illinois and A. E. Mannlnfi, of In
diana, were BDDointed to reDresent
the League at the general Democratic
League to be held at Baltimore, July
Besolntions were adorned endors
ing the administration of President
fjlevelanl and the Leagnff adjourned
to meet in Chicago at tht call of the
chief i chairman. The organization
and purposes 01 the .League are the
same;: as kotner , similar tieagues 01
the great parties.
', In the early hours of the morning
while the convention is gathering, but
one single red bandanna ,?an be seen
in the hall and that hangs listlessly
from one of the boxes oocupied by
the woman suffrage comittee. ; But
Chere are, thousands of pickets bulg
ing oat with Thurman banners ready
to be thrown to the convention bfeeza
at the proper moment. Gray men
still hold on to their grr hats. A
pretty decoration appears, upon the
noor 1 01 ine usai. xmi ;s a- norai
shield, four feet highland made of
white' roses and bearing jacrOss its
front : a bar of cape jessamines in
which appears the name of T. A. Col
lins and, above, the word' Iassachu
jetts.r This handsome tiibute to the
coming permanent chairman of the
convention is examined with great in
terest, as it stands conspicuously ele
vated at the base of thje : platform.
There, is no cheering, as on yes
terday, , as the delegates- fil? in.
Ohio and New York dejecrates an
particularly tardy in getSing in, a:
there are rumors in the eonventiq
that there is a hitch in the Thuim:
programme, which includes his nomi-
nauon by Tarpie, 01 taiuorma, and
second by General Powell : of Ohio.
The first applause of the f morning is
evoked bv the aDDearanca of a Thur-
jnan bandanna placed, upbn the ban
ner pole of a Wisconsin 1 delegation.
At this moment Tempoary Chairman
White appears upon thef wage and
consults with Chairman iBarnum of
the national committee, at which the
applause increases in voldme. bat is
short and soon dies out,lea,ving the con
yentionin a listless condition which
has characterized it for aij hour.
Ex-Attorney-General jLewis Cas-
sidy, of Pennsylvania, ehadrman of
the committee on permatteat organi
zation, mounts the . plktform and
whispers earnestly into the ear 'of
Chairman White. . y ;'
Mr. Cassidy is evidently known to
the ; convention, whichf applauded
him. i
At 10 o'clock not motra .than half
Of! the United
of i the delegates have put in ; an ap- j
pearaace aud none of the members
of ; the platform committee have en
tered the ball. 1 1 .
The consultation between Chair
man White and Mr. Cassidy is as to
the advisability of calling the conven
tion to order . before the committee
men arrive.
. There is a disposition to go on
with the permanent organization aiy
hqw Ln order to enable the convention
to adjourn finally today, about, which
there is now beginning to be sme
d)ubt. There is a conspicious ab
sence of visiting clubs, who huve eit her
been disquieted at 'he rerus '1 of 1 he
convention to give them scats in the
hall Or are rehearsing till the last 'mo
ment to mike a more effective and
theatrical entrance. But before an r
of them appeared the chairman bd
decided to call the convention to or
der without waiting for the catiibo s
of the platform committee. U
At 10-22 the convention was ca'k-d
to order. Prayer was offered by liev.
J. A. Green, of Missouri, who espe
cially invoked Divine blessing fcpon
tie 1 members of- the convention who
had been entrusted by the people of
the States of the Union with the per
formance of important duty, j
On motion of Mr. Prince, o,f Mis

The chair laid before the conven

to the committee oa credentials, -i.
'T. J. Campbell, of New York, iient
up to the desk so that it might be
read a long preamble and resolutions

this continent, the ii-VepaUo

authority by every means in the pocr
of the great nation. The resolution
bIbo contained a resolution providing
that it be presented to the convention
in erder to call the attention of this
great body of Democrats to this great
question. It was referred? to the
committee on resolutions without de
bae. V ) ' . . Sj ' U
Mr. Maltby, of Florida, offered the
following resolution, which was re-'
ferred to the committee on resolu
tions; ' . ' - . ' f -1;
' jResofcsvfv That this convention
hereby approves and endorses the
Erinc ples of tariff reform enonciated
y President Cleveland in his first mes
sage to the present Congress and that
the; policy recommended by him for
lhej practical application of those
principles and administration of gov
ernment we give our unqualified and
universal support.
" .The mention of Cleveland'e name
wa a signal for a .round of j ipplause
which again broke out as thef reading
of the resolution was completed. : y
Mr. Waser, of Alabama, chairman
of the committee on credentials, sub
mitted the report of that oommittee on
the Dakota contested case. -The com
mittee1 finds in favor of W. F. Steele
and G, C. McGuire, of the Church
faction. , The committee also finds in
favpr of admitting Delaney and Gar
nettas delegates from Alaska, The
report was agreed to. i
The chairman then called for the re
port ofthe committee' of organization
and Mr. Cassidy, of Pennsylvania, its
chairman; reported that it had unani
mously agreed upon Gen. Patrick A
Collins, of Massachusetts, for permit
nent chairman. The announcement
was received with loud appiaus and
cheers. H H. Indersll, of; Massa
chusetts, was recommended as secre
tary and one delegate from each
State as vioe president and jj one as
assistant secretary. The committee
further recommended that the rules
of the previous convention 1 shall be
in iorce aunng the present iconven
tioc; that no State shall cbango its
vo'e for president and vice president
until the call of States has been com
pleted.- The report of the committee
was agreed to.
When the report of the committee
had been completed and j adopted;
Chairman White announced : that hs
would appoint the chairman of the
national committee,Ros well P.Flo wer
of ; New York, and John O'Day, o
Missouri, a committee to escort the
permanent chairman of the convent
tion to the stage. The announcement
of each of these names was a signal,
for a burst Of hearty applaute. Mr.
Harnum'ip name was received . with
especial warmth, and cries of "Bar
nam !" were mingled with I general
shouts. Just aa the committee was'
proceeding to the place where Mr.
Collins sat in the Massachusetts dele-;
gation, two pages appeared , bearing
two large floral shields which had
been sent to the convention to be
presented at its permanent
organization, with the compliments of
Hon. David It. Francis, mayor of St.
Louis. The largest of these floral
offerings which were placed upon the
convention stage was a magnificent
shield of jacnuilmenot roses, upon
which in white roses was inscribed
the letter "C." As these testimonials
were borne to the platform Mr. Col
lins, arm in arm with Mr j Barnum
and Mr. Flower, marched down the
south aisle and his appearance was
greeted with a storm of ceeers which
grew in volume as he mounted the
steps of the platform and stood by
the side of Chairman White, who
grasped his hand and waited for the
applause to die out. v hen some
thing like quiet had been! restored,

I take pleasure in introducing to you

to Mr. Collins the silver gavel pre
sented by the Colorado delegation
and retired. There was another burst
of applause, and when it had subsided
Mr. Collins addressed the convention.
Mr. Col'ins spoke in a very clesrtone
and sufficiently distinct to enable him
to be heard in eve y portion of the
hall. He was frequently interrupted
with loud apli'ise, his reference to
Mr. Barnum and 1 be Democratic party
to obtain control of the reins of the
Government being- especially well
received by the whol assemblage.
(They app'audl).! Tie references to
the name t f Cleveland provoked en
thusiam whenever they occurred in
the chairman's remarks. jA.! tbe con
clusion of hii foech Mr. Ck'lbns was
again roundly and warmly greeted.
The gentlemen se':t td to rt'pro
sent the various Stales as vice presi
dents then proceeded to take seats'
upon the platform while the band
played an inspiring air. 1
The chairman stated that he had
been informed by the chairman of the
committee on resolutions Hal that
committee would be unable to report
before 8 o'clock. w
T. J. Campbell, of New York, arose
and presented a resolution, which he
asked to be read. The chair ruled
that under the rules adopted by the
convention the resolution should be
referred to the committee on resolu
tions without debate Mr. Collins
asked unanimous consent, ; but ob
jection was made by a ;New York
delegate and further objected to by
others. Mr. Collins insisted that the
subject matter of the resolution did
not relate to the platform and there
fore did not come nnder the restric
tions of the rule adopted. - Objection
was made by Mr. Fellows, of Wiscon
sin. The resolution whs read
The resolution was as follow? and
was adopted by a rising vote :
liesoloed. That this Convention
takes occasion to exp ess its un
feigned sorrow at tin serious aud
dangerous
illness of Geu. Sheridan
(applause), and to him whose noble
and valiant deeds will ever be en
shrined in the hearts of his country
men, We extend our sincere Byiapthy.
We earnestly trust that thq ureat sol
dier and distinguished . patriot will
meet with a Bpeedy recovery and that
Divine Providence may spare him
in this nation . for many years to
come. ' i
Jtesolved, That a copy! of these
resolutions be forwarded to Gen.
Sheridan as an expression Of the sen
timents of the Democratic: party of
the United States (Cheers).
Mr. Campbell asked for unanimous
consent for the adoption of the reso
lutions. The resolutions were adopted
by a rising role with three cheer i for
the gallant soldier who is now en
gaged m his .most desperate cam
paign, p
Mr. bhowalter of Missouri, offered
a resolution declaring that! taxes, 'in
cluding, import duties, should be
levied for the purpose of a revenue to
meet the needs of the Government
administered economically;! that the
building up of one industry at the
expense of another is foreign to the
true ; aim of free liberty; demanding
that the war taxes tending to create
aristocracy should be abolished; that
the revenue laws should be pat upon
a revenue basis as soon as possible, j
with safeguards as to the time, so as
not to disturb unduly the business of
the country, holding that Reduction
of taxation on the luxuries and not
on the necessities of life should be
made, and denouncing the1 present
tariff as a masterpiece of injustice,
inequality and false pretence.
The chair announced that the secre
tary would read a petition! for the
cansideration ofthe convention. The
paper proved to be a request from "the
Woman's Convention, recently held
in Washington, stating that two of its
members had been appointed to make
a short talk to the convention on be
half of the women of America. . This
request was accompanied by a promise
that if it were granted by tha; conven
tion the representative of the woman'B
organization would occupy the atten
tion of the convention for ten min
utes. The communication wis signed
by Virginia L. Minor and E. A. 31 er
riweather. J. J. O'Donnohue, of Nek York,
moved that the women be heard, and
it was agreed to. r
Mrs. Merriweather then mounted
the platform and was received with
applause She said that she Was dele
gated to ask that thia great con
vention help to make this na
tion, include among its principles uni
versal suffrage. Mrs. Meniweather's
voice was not strong enough to fill
hall and she was freqaently inter
rupted with cries of "louder" and
the band struck up an air before she
had concluded, but she remained
pluckily at her post until her time
had expired.
Resolutions were then offered for
a recesB until o o'clock this evenin
and until 10 o'clock tomorrow, when
Mr. Henz, of Pennsylvania,! moved
that the roll of States and Territories
be called and the names of the candi
dates for President and Vice-Presi
dent be placed in nomination; but no
ballot be taken until after the com
mittee on resolutions shall have re
ported. The resolution was adopted
with applause. .
When Alabama was called the
chairman said his State desired to
give way to New York. The conven
tion applauded at. this announce
ment, and when the New York dele
gation presented Dan'l Dougherty to
make the nomination, the great rial
rang with cheers which were prolong
ed, and great in volume, for nearly
minute until Mr. Dougherty "mount
ed the platform, when it was redou
died. As soon as he could bb heard
Mr. Dougherty said: "I greet you, my
countrymen, with fraternal regards;
in your presence I bow to the majesty
of the people;, the sight itself is in
spiring, the thought is sublime.' You
come from every State and territory,
from every nook and corner !of our
ocean hound continent,, covering ths
country.' ' . ! j
: "You are abbot 1 3, discharge more
than an important duty with the flim-
pleat ceremonies. You, as the rep
resentatirea of the people, are to
chooae a maie'ttate wi h a power
mightier than a monach, vet checked
and controlled by the supreme law
of a written Constitu'ion. Thus im
pressed, I ascend the rostrum to
nama .the next President of the
United Stites. New York presents
him to the convention and pledges
her electoral vote. Delegationa from
thirty tight States and all the Terri
tories are .assembled without caucus
or consultation, ready, simultane
ously, to take up the cry and make
the vote unanimous- We are here,
not indeed to choose a -candidate, but
to name one the pSbple have already
chosen. He is the man for the peo
ple; his career illustrates the glory of
our institutions. Eight years ago,
unknown save in his own town, he
for the last four years has stood in
thegaUa of the world discharging
the most exalted duties that can be
conferred upon a man; bnt, by the
mandate of his countrymen and with
the sanction of Heaven he shall fill the
Presidential chair for four years more.
He has met and mastered every ques
tion as if from a yOuth trained to
s' atesmanship. The promises of his
letter of acceptance and inaugural
address have been fulfilled. Ilia fi
delity in the past inspires faith in the
future. ; He ib not a hope. He is
realization. Soorning subterfuge,
mindful of his oath of office o defend
the constitution, he. courageously de '
clares to Congress, dropping tba
minor matters, that the supreme is
sue is reform, the revision,the reduc
tion of national taxation; that the
treasury of the United States, glut
ted with unneeded gold, oppresses
industries, embarrasses butinesp, en
dangers financial tranquility and
breeds, extravagance, centrnljzvion
and corruption. That high taxation,
for expenditures of aa unparal
leled war is robbery in years of peace
and prosperity. That the millions
that pour into the treasury
come from the hard earid sav
ings of the American people. That
in viola' :on of equality of rights the
present tariff has created a privileged
class which is Bhaping legis
latiou . for their personal gaiu.
That to lower the tariff is not
free trade; it is to reduce the unjust
profits of monopolists and boss manu
facturers and to allow consuovirs to
retain the rest! The man who asserts
that to lower the tariff means free
trade iusults our intelligence. We
brand him as a falsifier. It u far
from our thought to imperil capiU!
or disturb enterprises. Our aim is to
uphold wages and pr.tect tho rights
of all. This administration has res
cued the public domain from wouij
be barons and corporations, faithless
to their obligations, and has reserved
it for free homes for thia and coming
fenerations. There is no pilfering,
here are no jobs under this adminis
tration. Public office is a public
trust. Integrity stands - guarded at
every post of , ojur vast empire
Whilethe President has been the me
dium through which has flowed the
undying gratitude of the republic for
her soldiers, he has not hesitated to
withhold; his approval from special
legislation if the strictest inquiry re
vealed a want of truth and justice.
Above all, sectional strife, a never
before, is at an end and sixty millions
of free men in the ties of brothorhood
are prosperous and happy.
lbese are the achievements of tms
administration. Under the same
illustrious leader we are ready to
meet cur political opponents in high
and honorable debate and stake our
triumph on the intelligence, virtue and
patriotism of the people, adhering to
the Constitution, ' its every line
and letter ever remembering the
"powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution nor pro
hibited by it to the States respec
tively or to the people." By authority
of the Democracy of New York,
packed dv tne jJemocracy 01 tne en
tire Union, I give you a name en
twined with victory. I nominate
Grover Cleveland, of Naw York."
Mr. Dougherty Vepeech was deliv
ered with fine effect, in his bast style
and aroueed unbounded enthusiasm.
When he mentioned the name of
Grover Cleveland, or referred to his
public acts and utterances the con
vention fairly shouted itself hoarse.
The delegates moun'.od chairs, waved
their hats, canes and umbrellas. Ten
thousand spectators joined in the&p
plause and the band in the gallery
helped along with horns and drums
but their blare and noise could
scarcely be heard above the general
din. As Mr. Dougherty finished his
impassioned speech, some one in the
gallery tore aside the curtain which
had the portrait of Cleveland upon
the face of the great picture of tho
capitol building revealing to the gazo
ot the convention the well known
features of the Presidant. This
aroused the enthusiasm of the con
vention to fever heat for the first
time during its proceedings. Tho

almost deafening, hats were thrown
into the air, red -bdannas waved
from, ten thousand hinds and white,
black and gray hats were frantically
thrust upon points of canes, aad
waved until the owners became ex

of the chairman with fljwers which
was the aifrnal for applause. Althou,

and waved these improvised bin
dannas all over the hall for 10 nvn
utes. This remarkable outburst did
not cease until everybody was abso
lutely exhausted. It was 24 minutes
before the chair was able to regain
control of the convention. After the
storm had at length been quelled, Jas.
A. McKenzie, of Kentucky, took a
stand to second the 1 nomination of
Grover Cleveland,. There was. ,1 he
taid within the brosd limits of this
great land but one more popular
Democrat than i Grover Cleveland,
and that was the queenly wouinn ho
had made his wife (laughter and loud
continued appiaus).
The White House was presided
over by the uncrowned of our repub
lic. He was not going to let Mrs.
Cleveland out of this campaign. In
hoc signo vinces. (Applause).
At the last convention it was said
that Cleveland was loved for the ene
mies he had made; later it was said
that he was loved for the rascals he
had turned out; still later it was. said
he was loved for the message he had
written (applause). Kentucky loved
him for the fight that was in him
and for his splendid racing qualities;
He was as gjime as Lexington and as
speedy as Ten Broeck. (Laughter
and applause).
Other States then, as called, sec
onded the nomination in eloquent
speeches.
Mr. McKenzie, of Kentucky, moved
to suspend the rules and o nominate
Grover Cleveland for I Prr sident by
acclamation.

LAND HOTT's SERMON.
As beautiful a day as ever dawned
was yesterday when toe excursion
train from Raleigh to Chapel Hill
pulled out from the Central depot
bright aad early bearing a goodly
company from the capital to the
State's honored and ancient Universi
ty. "Governor" Fowle was along
and so wore Hon. C. M. Cooke and
Arthur Arriagton, Ej , ot Louisburg,
A. l). Jones, Esq , Rev. Mr. Clark,
Rev. Dr. Watkins, Maj. Crenshaw,
of Forest ville. Prof. Hugh Mor
Bon, Col. Robinson, Commission
of Agriculture; Bank Examiner
Tate on the way to Durham; Mr. Leo.
D. iieartt,going home to be "examin
ed;" and Col. Olds, the ubiquitous
and accomplished newspaper - man.
Rev Mr. Clemen s, the recently re
ad superintendent of Wake's
schools by a vote by the way which
was very flattering, got on at Morris
ville, and at Durham, the number of
the pleasant party was increased by
the addition of the Rev. Dr. Yale,
Maj. Jno. W. Graham, Maj. Guthrie,
Rev. Mr. Long.the Messrs. Southgate,
father and son, and others. At Uni
versity Station the train from .the
West was met .and Judge Shipp,
Rev. Mr. Cheshire, A. W. Graham,
Esq , and others joined , the
party for "the Hill. A wait
of twenty or thirty, min
utes at the sta'ion was made neces
sary by the failure of train orders to
arrive on time, after the reception of
which the train proceeded with its
merry company, graced, as we have s
far failed to note, by quits a number
of North Carolina's fairest and most
accomplished women. Raleigh, Dur
ham and other towns were repre
sented in this choice company and it
is fair tossy no towns on earth were
ever represented more beautifully.
Arrived at "the Hill the party was
distributed among the vtrious hotels
and boarding houses and the .delight
fully hosDitable homes of the nilas'e.
At xi o clock tne uouege oeu rang ior
a . a . 1 M ve
the opening of the exercises and the
trustees and alumni formed in column
at.the New East building and marched
to Memorial flail, where a large num
ber of the very best people of the
State had assembled ' and were
admiring the beautiful proportions of
the finest hall in the ooath and the
appropriateness of the great number
of tablets on the walls to the memory
of the distingushed dead who went
out into the world from the walls of
t'ae University.
The marshals of the day,of the com
mencement indeed, Mr. T. E. Ran
som, chief, and Messrs, Bradham,
Green, Bras well, Batchelor, Phi subs,
and Messrs. Williams, Chatham, Ham
mond and Tiller, Di. subs, wore the
handsomest recraiia we ever saw and
seated all comers with grace and
promptitude. The trustees and
alumni, with President Battle of the
University, at their head, took their
places on the rostrum and as they
Were seated we noted many dis
tinguished citizens of the State
among them or invited to be with
them for the nonce. Gov. Scales, for
instance, "Governor" iFowle, J. D.
Cameron, Esq, T. B. Kingsbarg,
Esq, G. M. Rose, Esq., Col. dJroad
foot, Mr. Eugene Morehead (looking
himself again much to the gratifica
tion of a legion of friends) Judge Da
viSj Mr. W. J. Yates, Jno. Ai Bryan,
Esq., R. u. Battle, Esq .the venera
ble Paul: C. Cameron, Judge Shipp,
Mai. Finger, Supt. Fflblio Jnstruc
tions; Jas. L. Webb, Esq , of the class
of 57, who attracted general attention
by his long and full hair and beard,
giving him the ' appearance lof
a patriarch. There were also
on the rostrum, we- observed,
Rev. Mr. Harding, l f Graham;
Rev. Dr. Mangum, of 'this city;
Rev. A. D. Mayo, the well-known
educationist of Boston: Rev. Dr.
Way land Hoyt, the preacher of the
baccalaureate sermon, to be heard in
the afternoon; Prof. .Hume, Prof.
Manning, Prof. Winston and others.
President Battle announced that
Mr. Hayne Davis, of the Di. Society,
would introduce the orator of the
day, Hon. Walter Clark, and Mr,
Davis advanced and perforTied his
pleasant duty in appreciate terms
and in a manner most creditable.
Judge Clark addressed himself par
ticularly to the young gentlemen of
the two literary societies and refer
red in the outset to the value of the
University, whose sons, sent into the
world, had responded nobly to every
demand. He spoke with graunca
tion of the increased interest in edu
cation to be observed on every side,
in the State and of the great work
the various colleges of the State are
doing. Ine possibilities stretcn
ing out before the young men of the
day. are magnificent- These young
men have to face the 20th
century which is to be marked by tre
mendous strides and he urged on the
young men before him the importance
of devotion to duty in all its phases.
at every Btep. Duty, was his theme
and he dwelt upon it with eloquence
and beautiful illustration, at the same
time enforcing the lessons he place 1
before his hearers most forcibly. His
address was a very fine one indeed
and will live doubtless as it should in
the minds, of those who heard him
long after the exercises of the day
shall have been forgotten.
On the conclusion of Judge Clark's
address a meeting of the alumni was
held, the result of which did not
transpire. At 4 o'clock in the af'er
noon tho , services in the Hill were
begun by : the reading of the Is
Ps&lm and bv prayer by the Rev. Dr.
Harding of Graham. The 130th
hymn, "Guide me, O Thou Great
Jehovah", was sung with .spirit
and feeling by the audience, led
by the graduating class, and Dr.
Wayland Hoyt, the distinguished
Baptist divine of Philadelphia, began
the delivery 01 tne liaceaianreate ser
mon. His text was Mark ix 50
"Salt is good, but if the salt have lost
. . . . , .
his saitnesB, wnerewim wiu ye seawn
it t Have salt in yourselves." The
salt;
he dwelt upon was the salt oi
1, and he urged most eloquently
:src ponsibie ior ur ngbt use
eunre
.1- -an
of coltare and that the only real eul
tare is religious culture; that the man
should gain all knowledge, but thai
thia he should cany in Lis
left hand, j while " in his right '
hand h should overt bear the
Bible. The sermon was a very re
markable effort; it" was admirable in
conception, in elaboration and in do. .
Htery; it was really great and ai per
fectly adapted to the occasion as it is -possible
to imagine a sermon coul l
be. Dr. uort is a rather short man,
of roust though not ungraceful
figure and isi apparently about sixty
years of age. His hair ia- slightly
silvered f and a. moustache and
imperial give him rather a mtli- ,
tary air than, a , clerical. His r
enunciation' ( was perfect, so that
every word he uttered was distinctly
heard in every corner of the hall, and
his bearing ' and gesture were j pleas
ing throughout. His manner was de
vout and impressed every hearer with
the idea that he was thoroughly in
earnest in preaching with each power -
the great message ha bore. At times '
he rose to flights of . rare eloquence V
and from beginning to end of the ser
mon there was not a commonplace
dea or expression. He condemned
heartily the frequent chopping of old
straw on the part Of many preachers
ana proved conclusively to his hear- :
era that "he himself' could hardly
ever be 'expected ' to ' fail
within the category of those preach
ers. His effort was indeed one ol
great eloquence and power ahd bean-'
ty. Our reporter took pretty full'
notes of at, as he did alsoindeed, ot
Judge Clark's address, and he regrets
exceedingly the impossibility of get- -ting
into our columns this morning
anything more than this bare refer
ence to the subject matter of each'
gentleman's remarks. Doth, addrecs
and sermn richly deserve publica
tion in full and would do great gocd

press.
After? the sermon the audi
ence dispersed aad the . Ivu
eigh excursion party prepared to take
up its journey. home, looking for the
last time upon the exquisitely beaut i-, 5 .
ful University grounds with -regret
that its slay had necessarily bet n -
limited to the day. ;

ties were made in accordance with
the following programme: 1. Grido di

But we have not said one word
about Iardella's Band, of Richmond,
which filled, the campus and Mcm-
tial Hall at intervals during the day
with music, of the most rarlis
tio ' ' character. ' The sweet
strains it evoked were the'
most charming aooompaniment of all
the day's exercises.-- They were 'de
lightful and were thoroughly.. en
joyed, particularly by .those .who
know what really good music is.
We peeped into the ball room, loo,
and, young ladies, our word for it, it
is the finest hall for dancing purposes .
in all tne country. - xne uoor is per
fection and the decorations are b a
perb. - Chinese lanterns hang ' every
where and Japanese parasols and
fans, with banners, of various
hues, are so. ' disposed : ' and
arranged upon the ; walls and
overhead as to produce an effect that
is strangely beautiful and that must
be seen to be appreciated. We had
to. see it by daylight - acid it
was then . tne most, .. attraouve
ball room we ever looked f into.
By night it baust be as enchanting
as; fairy land. There youth and
beauty held high revelry of the most
refined aud wholesome kind until the
wee sma hours and there tonight will
be enjoyed the grand commencement
ball. Will you be of the happy num
ber to take part in it.
