The audience was small out me lew mat uiu attend were roga'ed with a lcture of exception al teauty and worth. Deiision Reversed. Judge Tourgee lately decided, in a case in Orange, that United States Treasury notes,' National Bank notes and solvent credits could not be taxed by a State or a county. The Su preme Court, through Mr. Justice Reade, reverses this decision, and holders of the "queer" will have to "pony up." lxcup-sioxs. lwo excursions occurred on Saturday. The pic-nic train Of the Durham Sunday School passed through- Raleigh for Golds boro, .niviving an addition of a hundred ,r so from this city. An excursion of colored jeop!e from Goldsboro also arrived, and the excursionists' spent the day here, apparently, very happily. SwampLands. By an advertise ment in another column it will be seen that a large amount of swamp land is for tale by the Siretary of the Board of Education, Alexander Mclver. In calling attention to this we may remark that it would be well for bidders to give projier care to the manner of making bids,, as set down in the advertisement. Hoaxed by Themselves. A number of person- of other denouv inations attended the Roman Cath olic Church on Sunday undoubtedly expecting Father McNamara to lauich. our in&bcQQfihiSLfitfw.ifl- "atiousry agaim-Ue people with whom he has lately had a legal con test, but his reverence confined him self to a sermon of a purely advisory oharacter. . Printers Pic-Nic Think of printers going on a plc-nicl Who ever heard of such .a thing before One might as reasonably expect to hear of a minister dancing an Irish Jigona barndoor.or of aCamancho Indian taking a bath for cleanliness sake. Yet the pic-nic is announced and will take place at Kittrell's Springs, and on the 4th day of July too ; pleasure and patriotism, com fort and commemoration of the Day of days, combined. The tickets are two dollars and a half per person, and the amount of happiness to be derived from the trip is only limi ted by the capacity of the individ ual. A Pic-nic has a peculiar charm for the pent up city man, and who of all city men are so pent up as a Printer? And he Is as sensitive to the verdancy of "meadows and the rusticity of groves and streamlets as any other of the men about town. He knows that in neglige attire, lounging under the greenwood tree with lordly laziness, he is more at tractive than when his dirty fingers are picking type in a musty compo sing room, and he knows, too, how much sweeter is the rustle of calico over the succulent grass than the harsh scraping of silk over dusty pavements. Then again, albeit em inently practical at home, the Prin ter Is as romantic as may be abroad, and though he never dreamt of making a vojy pf fidelity between brick walls, he will swear eternal constancy in good round oaths in a natural bower. Tradition ever powerful, has de nied the Printer one half the rights of humanity. He is popularly sup posed to be cadavarous and con sumptive physically, impoverished as to his finances, and with a ward robe, which, to describe as "shabby genteel" would be to dignify unwar rantably. If he laughs it is the harsh rattle of the Ghoul, and his passion is the raving of tho Afrit. Like the rat, tradition has driven him to his hole by day and only permits his presence under cover of darkness, or at least in the sickly glimmer of a flickering gas light. As to his social life he is supposed to be something of an ascetic es chewing the delights and benefits of connubiality. Pshaw! Take them in the ag gregate and there never was such a congregation of bon vivanls; their biceps are as the scriptural muscles of brass, and they can produce as much cash at the end of the week and talk of coats in the plural as glibly as any gentleman of elegant leisure. Look at them in broad day-light and you will see them as others have seen them, with a3 pretty wives and as kissable chil dren as any lord of creation. Ex- jxrrntia docet, (that's from Web ster's appendix.) The printers of Raleigh have had pic-nics before it is true, but none that shall compare with the one of July 4th, 1S73.

Here after mail trains bound East on the North Carolina Railroad will not run Ilist of Company Shops on Saturday nights, but will remain at that station until Sunday night. when they will return to Charlotte. Mail trains bound West will not leave Goldsboro on Sunday after noon, but will start on their West ward trip from Company Shops. These are the new reirulations of Mr. W. II. Green, Master of Trans- lortation, and travellers will pee the necessity of bearing them in mind. Peace Institute. In another column will be found the advertise ment of this Institution foryoung ladies. The thorough proficiency attained by the pupils of this College has long since shown that it is with out a superior in the State as an educator of the Female mind, and the mere fact that its venerable Principal, in the course of his ex perience, has been entrusted with the secular and religious training of no less than twelee hundred young ladies, should speak volumes in praise of this Institution, apart from its other advantages. I. O. O. F. On Friday evening last McKee Encampment elected the following officers for the present term : Chief Patriarch II. Bagley. High Priest Seaton Gales. Senior Warden J. W. Watson. Scribe J. J. Litchford. Treasurer A. W. Fraps. Senior Harden J. A. llammel. Also, at a regular meeting of Raleigh. Lodge No. 65, 1. O. O.

Let all attend. The old and the young. They are assured some thing will be said of interest and Importance. .His subject will be "The History and Present Condition of Public Education in North Carolina," Let no one fall to attend. The address will be one of practical im portance, and it is to be earnestly hoped, will be met by a large and appreciative audience. Ises A JiriUiant Gathtr- There are few occasions attract more generally the tion of our best classes than theTcommencemect exercises of the yrmg ladies of the Peace Institute, and though there were other exer cises of like character announced at various institutions in the vicinity of. this city, the attendance was large, larger than might under the circumstances reasonably have been expected. There is much in the exercises of the young ladies to attract atten tion, not the smallest part of which is the .fact that they ore the exer cises of young ladies and not of young gentlemen. The commence ments of collegiate institutions for young men are attractive, the essays areffine or funny, erudite or face tious, and never fail of producing the desired result, deserved com mendation and applause. But, without offending the sensibilities of the young gentlemeq or their tutors, it, must be said that they lack in the. essence of grace and spirit uelleseem'mg all that is the most admired feature in similar ex ercises in which young ladies are the actors. It was much noted a the Peace Institute Commencement on Wed nesday, of last week, that the young ladies were thoroughly proficient in all that they undertook, and noth ing that preparation could perfect was otherwise presented than so as to deserve the commendation it re ceived. w Early In the morning the Insti tute was in a bustle of preparation. The cloisters of quiet study were in vaded by a bustling activity una sual to them ana when an was ready for the opening prayer not less than two hundred .visitors were in the hall. This prayer was made by Rev Mr Atkinson,and was Imme diately succeeded by the Anthem Sing Praises to God," of Con cone, a chaste composition given with a correctness and purity showing to good advantage the careful training bestowed on the singing class. The annual address by the Rev. II. G. Hill, of Fayetteville, was a very clever and apt hit at the some what fashionable theme of Woman's Rights. The reverend gentleman dwelt with commendable earnest ness on the paramount importance ofhomc instruction and advocated the necessity of an implicit reliance on Biblical precepts. One of the truths inculcated by the gentleman in this address and which appealed to his auditors with much force was, that benefits which accrued to a na tion, were the result of the early home training of the man, and un less the man imbibed morality as a child at his mothers knee, in after life the difficulty of marking and keeping a good course was incalcu lable. Hence the necessity of train ingyoungladies and educating them on a sound basis of broad christian morality. Prof. S. J. Stevens id a very sympathetic address gave the young ladies of the graduating class that kind fatherly advice so well suited to the occasion, and none who heard Wake Forest !

The Imputation that the Baptists are a clannish sect is amply disproved by the eagerness with which-this people embrace every opportunity to distribute their hos pitalities with an impartial band.

But more of this anon. On the arrival of the; train at Wake Forest, quite a crowd had assembled to welcome the accessions from Raleigh, and these greetings were considerably enlivened by strains of sweet music discoursed by the colored band in attendance from this city. The hour having arrived for the commencement of the exercises, the crowd then proceeded to the College Chapel, where a large assemblage composed alike of "fair women and brave men" had. already gathered in anticipation of the event. The exercises were ushered in by an impressive prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hatcher, of Petersburg, Va., which was followed by a musical discourse from the Band. Tho following programme em braces the orations which were delivered on the occasion : " Latin Salutatory " W. O. Mc Dowell, Murfreesboro, N. C. " The Proper Studv of Mankind is Man" R. T. Vann, Hertford county, N. C. " Our Alma Mater "A. R. Jones, Raleigh, N. C. " Excellence the Reward of Much Labor "Henry T. Trantham, Ker shaw county, S. C German Speech : Die Promotion J. J.

The dance he characterized as one of the finest expedients ever In vented to engender and confirm dis ease. The address elicited frequent peals of laughter and the happy delivery of , the speaker together with hi imposing personal appear ance was the occasion or manv well-merited compliments. With the close of the sociable party at night the crowd reluctantly dis persed. : Every one who attended the Commencement Exercises at Wakp Forest College left entertaining the liveliest impressions of the superi ority of this Institution as a place of educational resort. Every ad vantage is enjoyed here which i3 essential to moral and intellectual culture, and its accessibility from every point, situated, as it is, imme diately on the "line of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, should be taken . into consideration by those who expect to patronize an Institu tion of this persuasion. . ' t 1 , Wednesday's Exercises, j The exercises of Wednesday con sisted of an address before the Alumni Association by II. B. Folk, Esq., of Brownsville, Tenn.V the annual'1 sermon by the Revi Wi"E. Hatcher, D. D., of Petersburg, Va-, and the address before the literary societies by the Hon. A. S. Merri mon.'of Raleigh. Judge Merrimon's speech was chiefly confined to the subject of Education, w itfa ocoasion Eional references to kindred topics. It is said that once during its de livery his great mind sought the broad arena of politics, in which he animadverted with becoming se verity upon the recalcitrant Union men of ante bellum times and their disposition to evade the responsi bilities imposed by the war. - Vacancies in the Board of Trus tees were filled by the election of Geo. R. French, of Wilmington, Rev. J. B. Richardson, of High Point, Miles L. Eure, Esq., of Gates county, Hon. W. W. Holden, of Raligh, and J. C. Scarboro, of Selma. No degrees of D. D. or L. L. D. were conferred at this session of the Board. The Alumni Association held its annual meeting Wednesday night. Rev. F. II. Joy was chosen Presi dent, Charles H. Martin, Vice-President, L. R. Mills, A. M., Secretary, and W. G. Simmons. A. M., Treas urer, were chosen officers for the present year. Rev. A. J. Emeraon, of Missouri, of the class of 1S55, was chosen orator for the next anniversary, with Rev. B. F. Marable of the same class as alternate. Action was taken in reference to an Alumni dinner at the next anni versary of the society, and other measures were adopted with a view to increasing the interest in the an nual meetings of the Association. The reporter of the Era returns his grateful acknowledgments to President Wingate and Professor Simmons of Wake Forest, and to the Rev. Dr, Pritchard of Raleigh, for the uniform courtesies which he received at their hands. . . .. .. .....

LETTER NO. II. v To General JD. H. Hilh Generalrin Cliiefofthe Modoc and JCu Klux Democracy of North Carolina : Sir: Your editorial in reply to the criticism I gave you several weeks ago I find in your newspaper of the 9th inst. - Although you oc cupy over a column and. a half, I jflnd, to my astonishment,, that you have nothing to say in excuse or extenuation of your course and bit ter denunciation of LlncplnjCanby, Tlforna -and other ifra friends of the Federal Joririiratft, now deceased. Your time and, space are taken up in proving to the world by quotations from my debate with Pryne, that ' prior to, and at the breaking out of the 'war, I was a pro-slavery man. This is known, perhaps, to every intelligent man North and South, and Is, therefore, no news to your readers or mine. t In this same debate- from which you quote, as well as in all my edi torials and public addresses, I an nounced myself as unalterably op posed to secession and the dissolu tion of the Union, and declared my purpose, whenever ' the conflict came, to stand by the Union at all hazards and to the last extremity. Thirty-five years ago, in a book I published, I predicted that extreme men North and South would bring on a conflict of arms, and although I was writing in, defense of John Wesley, wThen denounced for having characterized the telave trade as piracy, I further declared that when the conflict came Lwould stand by the Federal Government, let the fate of slavery be what it might. There is nothing in your reply to me requiring: further notice save dropped dead In San Francisco. Old Brownlow was tho strongest I pro-slavery man in the South. But i he cast his lot with the Abolition ists and persecuted his own people. He 13 now a paralytic and almost a drivelling idiot. Professor Mahan was an ardent Southerner and could hardly find language wherewith to express his abhorrence of the dis union Abolition party durinsr the war, and became very bitter against ms own section. He was superceded, when his work was done, and threw himself in the Hudson in the mad ness of his despair. lVho toould not rather be a ' crivnled Confederate sol dier munching a crust of bread, than poor Jjongstreet, Vie pet of Grant and me tool of Ixmisiana thieves." That you should thus seek to de ceive your readers by misrepresent ing my letter is evidence that my narpoon penetrated your rhinoceros niae. . Injustice to the Southern people. I will say that thousands of them who were in the rebellion repudiate your infamous publication, and many warm congratulations have Deen sent me for excoriating you by men who periled more and main tained the cause of the Confederacy within a closer range of Federal bullets than you ever did. - In conclusion, Gen. Hill, I would give you a piece of advice. Here after, when you feel belligerent, confine vour assaults to live men like mvself. who are- capable of returning your blows. You were a Lieutenant General in the late war and aspire to have your name go down in history as a great warrior. You are not making this character by assailing dead men like Lincoln, Canby, Thomas, and others, " the latchets of whose shoes you were not worthy to stoop down and unloose," while they were liv ing. Heroes and patriots, whose names will be remembered with affection and J gratitude by the American eople when you are for gotten or remembered ' only to be despised. ox should remember that: " Great conquerors greater glorjr gain By foes in triumph led than slain ; The laurels that adorn their brows, Are pulled from living, not dead boughs."

CL 'Ufrere la Life In the Old L&Ad Yet ' J. J. Vann: Hertford cotmr, N. C. C Valedictory Address R T Vann Hertford county, N. C. President Wingate, at the close of the orations, conferred degrees on several members of the graduating class, and delivered an address which was replete with praclica instruction, wholesome advice and expressions of heartfelt interest in the future success of the departing students. Hi3 great competency as an instructor of the youth of the country is fully established by the varied successes achieved in life by those who were the beneficiaries of his vast learning. Between the relative merits of the orations delivered by the grad uating class in which there were both a Variety of subjects and a creditable display of diversified talent, it would be difficult to dis criminate. "Our Alma Mater" the theme of A. R. Jones, Esq., of this city, was discussed in a masterly : man ner, in which he briefly reviewed the history of the College and made an appeal for its support which met with a sympathetic response from every heart in that vast assemblage. It is understood that Mr. Jones will embrace the profession of law, where, it may be safely predicted, future distinction awaits him. The subject of Mr. J. J. -Vann, of Hertford county, Die Promotion was a German speech whteh evi dently evinced great familiarity with that mysterious tonjrue. The theme is significant Inasmuch as it shows that an acquaintance; with the most important modern lan guages may be obtained at this In stitution. Those who desire a Nation's Praise " was the theme selected by Mr. E. W. Timberlake, of Wake Forest, N. C. His address was elo quently delivered and contained appropriate allusions to those whose renown had been achieved In the way calculated to win a Nation's praise. f Mr. N. B. Canady, of Granville county, N. C, delivered a humor ous address on the " Milk of Human Kindness," In which he Invoked the most charitable criticism upon the folly of female costumes of the present day, which excited univer sal merriment. His speech was warmly applauded and constituted one of the most pleasing features of the occasion. v j Mr. R. T. Vann, of IIertfo,ftlCo., had previously been selected as the valedictorian by the class, and the pathetic eloquence which pervaded his address fully exemplified the wisdom of their choice. Mr. Vann has embraced the gospel ministry as his future calling and his sterling qualities of head and heart will enable him to accomplish; great good in the performance of his sacred functions. The exercises closed at night with a lecture delivered by the Rv. DrJ Hatcher, of Petersburg, Va., or The Advantages of the Modern Dance." It was one of polished rony, exposing, as it did, the follies of those who are addicted to the fashionable dissipations of the pres- Patrons of Husbandry. On Thursday tho 26th ult., Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, of South. Carolina, addressed' a luouiipgor formci of Wake county at the Court House in this city. The address was in the main, explanatory of the society of Patrons of Husbandry, a society the aims of which, thanks to Col. Aiken's work, is now very general ly understood in this State. He explained that nine men and four women, at least, were necessary for the organization of a grange and that fifteen of these granges were necessary to constitute a State Grange. The society had for its object the improvement of agricul ture and the intellectual advance ment of farmers. One of there marks of Col. Aiken was very per tinent. It was that farmers are not sufncientiy given to reaaing, or as he put it, that not one third of the farmers of this county read or knew the names of the Raleigh .papers. In explanation of those eligible to membership the speaker said that ministers were admitted without fee, and that all editors were eligible because of their representative char acter and the fact that they were engaged in the work of disseminat ing information concerning the or der and it was necessary that they should be intimately acquainted with its workings. After the ad dress a grange was organized and the following gentlemen and ladies were elected for the first year : Master A. T. Mial. Overseer Jesse Taylor. Lecturer R. T. Fulghum. Steward H. N. Parker. Asst. Steward B. W. Green. Chaplain M. A. Bledsoe. Treasurer Joel D. Whitaker. Secretary N. P. Jones. Gate Keeper W. T. Howell. Ceres Mrs. R. T. Fulghum. Pomona Mrs. Victoria Mial. Flora Mrs. B. W. Green. Stewardes--Mrs. V. C. Williams. On Wednesday, July" 9th,' the Masters of Granges in this State will meet in this city for the or ganization of a State Grange. This latter organization will be effected under the immediate supervision of Col. Aiken, the Deputy for this State. Correction. Mr. W. M.

He was given command of the Depart ment of the Carolinas, and carried out ruthlessly all . the cruel meas ures of a remorseless Congress. The war against his own land and peo- Ele seemed to havT destroyed all is nobler qualities, and to have transformed him into the usual type of the renegade. A citizen of Charlotte was present in Richmond when Gen. Canby personally su perintended the hanging of a white man up by the thumbs for kicking an insolent negro out of his saloon. "Jim Lane cut his own throat. Stanton most likely committed suicide. King drowned himself. One by one of the .oppressors of the South came to an untimely end; Some of the most atrocious are now covered with infamy worse than death. Is it accident or is it retri bution ? The history of renegades is getting to be instructive. Mr. Lincoln destroyed Jis own people, violated his conscience, and stulti fied his oft-expressed opinions. He was foully and atrociously mur dered in the hour of his triumph. Gen. Thomas pledged himself in Lynchburg at the outbreak of the war to stand by his neighbors and kindred. Seduced by office, he fought against them. At the close of his brilliant military career, a popinjay was put over him and he A negro farm hand, named Walk er, committed a fiendish outrage on a young lady named Meeks, at Orange Court House, Va., last week. She resided with Rev. Mr. Hatcher, a Baptist minister, who with his wife had gone to the village to visit ajparishioner.leaving Miss Meeks in charge of the house. The negro entered the sitting room, locked the door, and seized the young lady, saying that he had come for a cer tain purpose and intended to accom plish it, if he was shot the next minute. He warned her that if she screamed or made any resistance he would cut her head open. A strug you taunt me with not having taken , j ensued, but the girl'was over lowered. After this the fiend told indT if she left the house or attempt ed to give the alarm he wTould kill her. It was Very late before Mr. Hatcher and his wife returned, but they were informed of what had taken place. Next morning the citizens of the town were aroused and a party started in pursuit of Walker. He was found a few miles from town, lodged in the county jail that afternoon, while the sober people of Orange county deliberated whether summary justice wrould not be the-best in this staid , old community, which has no record of an execution for at least half a century. Des Moines, June 25. The Iowa Republican State Convention which met here to-day was large in num bers and harmonious in action. Gov. Carpenter was renominated, the Hon. Jas. Bysart of Lama County was nominated for Lieuten ant Governor, Col. J. A. Abernethy was renominated for Superintend ent of Public Instruction, J. M. Beck of Lee County was renomi nated for Supreme Judge. The fol lowing were adopted : , . Resolved, That we insist upon the right and duty of the State to con trol every franchise of whatever kind it grants; and while we do not insist that any injustice shall be done to the lnaiviclual or cor poration who invests capital or in dustry in enterprises of this kind, we vet demand that no franchise shall be granted which is prejudi cial to the public interest, or in which the rights and interests of the State and' the people are not carefully and fully guarded. Pesolved, That the act of the ma jority of the members of the last Congress, involving what is known as the "Back Pay Steal," by which they voted into their pockets thou sands of dollars which did not be long to them, was most flagrantly improper and infamous, and should secure the condemnation of all who were a party to it, and we demand that the provisions of the late act of Congress by which the salaries were increased shall be promptly and unconditionally repealed.

March 13, 1873. 38 wCm Up to the 18th of June, Mr. Gor- ham, Secretary of the-Senate, has drawn 720,500 for the present nscal year on account of compensation and mileage for Senators. The ap- Drooriation for the year, estimated at the old rate of pay, was $400,000, leaving about $bi:o,ooo drawn on ac count of back pay. As the bacfc pay averages about $4,zuu, it ap pears that Mr. Gorham has really drawn the whole sum due the Sen ators from the Treasury, as he has a right to do, and that if it has not been paid to Senators, he holds it subject to their order, except in the cases of the 14 who have covered it back into the Treasury.

Of the politi cal situation he says ; "Thier's defeat, I fear, is a blow at republi canism in France. How long the combination can hold together, what its course of policy and con duct will be, no one can tell, and speculation about the , future of French politics is folly."
