enough to have caused death. The

cause, ithe little girl told them whathe
had done. They knew it was a case o
poisoning, and as soon as possible took
up the little sufferer iu a buggy and came
with it to Dr. Siinimercll, post haste, at

another feature of this Institution, which
oujiht to encourage its friends to stand by
it, that ft is pivinj; every year a larjre amount
of gratuitous instruction to indigent worthy
youngmen. Exactly one half of itsstudents
during the past year have paid no tuition,
amongst who there are fifteen ministers'
sons, besides nineteen candidates for the
nioistry.
Having referred to the condition of the
finances as healthful, we may properly par
ticularize, and state that there has leen both
an increase of income and a decrease of debt
during the past year, and that the general
result is that our assets are loth enlarged in
their bulk and improved in their character.
This reflects honor on the skill and faithful
ness of our Treasurer and our finance com
mittee. '
The collections from interest and bank
dividends are this year $3,020.74 more than
they were last year. The increase in this
particular is due, in part, to the collection of
overdue coupons, lclohging to previous
years. The debtsof the college are this year
$512 less than they were last year. The in
come which is reasonably counter! on, and
expecteJ for the year to come, exceeds our
anticipated expenses. The whole debt red
ing upon the college is only $1,812.00. and
we think there is good reason to hope it will
all la: lifted in the course of the next two
years. Ami then there is an increase of
available assets to the amount of $2,360.00.
These stand now at the figure of $88,500 00,
while the real estate is estimated to be worth
not less than the sum of $150,0w0.
These statements we think, should great
ly cheer the hearts of all the friends of Da
vidson, (signed.)

On my return from Washington, I find
an unusual amount of controversy and ex

the congressional nomination. Several
of the counties, it is said have held their
conventions, and instructed their dele

I hear many murmurs and complaints of
the means by which these results have
been brought ab.mt. '

falsely representing, in said speech, that

nor the United States liable for the debts

to sacrifice the interests of the people to

The Commencement at Davidson
College for 1880.
The Commencement exercises at David
son College are always well attended, but
last week the? attendance was unusually
large. Beginning on Monday with the ar-.
rival of the Executive committee, the crowd
swelled until Thursday, when itjs estima
ted that fully two thousand visitors were on
the ground. The public exercises opened
wilhja learned and interesting address on
Wednesdiy morning, by Rev. Wm. E. Boggs,
D. Di of Atlanta Ga. The learned speaker
discussed the supposed an:aifnism between
Chr.fttiai.ity and the teachings of Science,
conclusively showing that the Bible rightly
interpreted was in perlect accord with true
s;ience. j.n tne anernoon tne nev. m. o.
Lacy f delivered an interesting, spicy and
louchinir address before the Alumni associa
tion, in which he showed the influence of
Davidson College upon the country through
her alumni. Sketches were given of a number-who
have graced the highest positions
of honor and trust,'or who fell on the battle
field during the late war. Few of the grad- j
uates-present ever knew before how long
was the roll of the distinguished sons of
their beloved Alma Mater. Wednesday
evening was occupied by the representatives
of the Literary Societies. Six addresses
were delivered, and to .the most finished
oration of the six was -to be awarded the
-KovV!o -Medal tor uratorv. r cw wereois-
appotnted snd many delighted when on
Thursday that prize was awarded to Herbert
Wt Beall, of Lenoir, N. C. O
But Thursday is the great day at David
son College, and between twelve and fifteen
hundred eop!e crowded into the capacion
'Chambers Hall" to hear wh.it the thirteen
graduates had to say. Of these thirteen
five had won the first "distinction in scholar
ship, that is, had scored an average of over
ninrty for the four years course, when one
hundred indicated perfection. They were
the following: J. P. Paisly, of Guilford N.
C, Valedictory; P. M.v Brown", of Charlotte,
C Or? Salutatory ; J. A. Gilmer, of'Greens
I oro, N. . Uosoph ic Oration ; J ames
Ilorafi of Salisbury, and Thomas G. Harie
of New Orleans, La. It -would lie difficult
to distinguish when so many displayed ex
cellence both in matter-aof manner. Be
sides ithe five first honor men, whose public
appearance justified the distinction they had
received, I may mention that Richmond
Harding, of Charlotte, N. C.. delivered in a
graceful and tellinir manner, a well conceiv
ed and critical address on "King Lear," ami
that James Horah of Salisbury oneof the
tive-jvas 4istened to with deep attention,
whilehe discussed in a clear, sensible, and
practical manner, the merits of "The Par

A Grand Katificatioii Speech.
At dusk Judge Fowle appeared in the
square and delighted the assembled mul
titude with a grand speech of ratitiicat ion.
As nearly as his words could be caught
he said: "
People of North Carolina :
J address you as the people of North
Carolina because here assembled under
the name of the great Democratic partj
are the tr representatives of the virtue,
intelligence and industry of our gran ji
old mother State.
I apiear before you at your invitation,
a defeated candidate for the nomination
for the highestofiice within your gift, and
yet I am proud of the four hundred and
sixty votes which you have been pleased
to; cast for me this day. And of there
four hundred and sixty I have a request
to make : unite with me in cor solidating
the Democratic forces and electing Thosj.
J. "Jarvis our next Governor. To my
friends throughout North Carolina I al
peal in behalf of Democratic unity, for if
this can be effected 1 uos. J. Jarvis wia
be elected our next Governor; by twenty
fivo thon&iud majority. "
For myself, since 187,. I have ben a
I wanted to treat nil my fellow-citizens
with the same respect-and consideration
that I would require from others. And
further, duriug the spring circuit of ld7S
I unifoimily refused though solicited, to
make political speeches, at my courts, as
I had been iu the habit of doing on every
circuit eince ldoo; lest I might appear to
take advantage of thej sitting member
who was compelled to be iu Washington,
attending to his official duties. Haviug
won a nomination aud au election from
such a people, aud by such honorable
meaus, I have a right and expect to be
proud of it-as long as I live, and to leave
it as a rich legacy of honor to my chil
dren. I do" not claim myj fellow-citizens,
that yon owe me a re-nomiuatiou. I have
always held that a party owes nothing to
the individual, but thatUhe individual,
if a patriot, owes everything to the paity
that embodies and carries out his piinci

....ver lb.s
First That dishonesty, fraud and cor
ruption have become so commou, noto
rious and obvious in the admiiiistrtiou of
our national government as to benot ouly
humiliating and disgraceful in the esti
mation of every honest and intelligent
citizen but to imperil the prosperity of
the people, if not the stability of the gov
ernment itself.
Second Resolved that this deplorable
condition of the administration of our
national government is largely due to
the eclectiou to office and contiuuance
therein of corrupt, dishonest aud venal
men.
Third Resolved that it is useless aud
hypocritical for any political party to de
clare for reform in its.platforms, papers
and public, addresses while it insists ou
ret urn iiii; to high official place and power
men who have been notoriously connec
ted with the very schemes of fraud which
render reform necessary and urgent ;
that to send those to enact reform who
themselves need reforming to make them
honest is worse, than fettiug the blind to
watch the blind.
Fourth Resolved that there is no man
to-day officially connected with the ad
ministration of our national government
against whom are justly preferred more
and graver charges of corruption than
are publicly made and abundantly sus
tained against James A. Garfield; the
present representative of this congress
ional "district and the nominee of the
Republican convention for re-election.
Fifth Resolved that since h hist en
tered Congress to this day thire scarce
ly an instance iu which rings and mon
opolies have beeu arrayed against the in
terest of the people ; that jlie has beeu
found active in speech or vote upou the
side of the latter, but iu almost every
ease he has been the ready champion ol
rings and monopolies.
Sixth Resolved that we especially
charge him with venality and cowardice
in permiitting B. F. Buttler to -attach to
the appropriation bill of . 1673 that ever-to-be-remembered
iufainy the Salary
Steal; aud in speaking and voting for
that measure upou its final passage. Aud
charge Mm with corrupt disregard of the
clearly expressed demand of his eonstit
ueuts thut he should vote for its repeal
and with evadiug said demaud by voting
for the 'Hutchison 1' amendment.
Seventh Resolved that we further ar
raign and denounce him for his corrupt
connection with the Credit Mobilier. for
his false denial thereof before his con
stituents, for hi perjured deuiat thyreot
before a committee of his peers in Con
gress, for , fraud upon his constiuouti in
circulating among them a pamphlet pur
porting to set : forth the finding of iaaid
committee -tnd.lM evidence Igainst him,
when in fact material portions thereof
were omitted and garbled. s
Eighth Resolved that we further ar
raign and charge him with cbrnrpt bribery,
in .selling his official influence a chair-
on so grand a scale as to make the
achievement illnsti io is' and.is a "slue ne
of rascality and colossal swindling."
Twelfth Resolved that neither great
ability and experience or eloquent parti
san discussion of the dead issues of the
late war, will excuse or justify past dis
honesty and corruption or answer as a
guaranty of integrity and purity for the
future. . - -
Thirteen Resol ved that believing the
statements in the foregoing resolutions
set forth we cannot without stullifyiugonr
nianhood and debasing our self-respect
support at the polls the nominee of the
Republican couveution of this district
for re-election, nor can we without sur
rendering our rights as electors and citi
zens, sit quietly by and see a man so un
worthy again sent to represent us iu the
national Legislature. That strong iu the
conviction of light we call upou the
electors of the district irrespective of
former orpresent party attachment who
desire honest government to unite with
us in an earnest, faithful effort to defeat
the re-election of Geueral Garfield aud
elect in his stead an honest and reliable
man.
A Spaxish Dexial. A telegram from
au official source in Havana says: "Nei
ther the captain-general nor tho com
matidaut geueral of the naval sqnadrou
has any knoweledge that any American
vessel or a vessel of any foreign nation
has been detained or searched by a Span
ish man-of-war, aud they deny, there is
auy. such man-of-war as the Nuucio."
