To pay it by transmitting down entire The sacred rights to which themselves ' were born." " Your Excellency, we are also, now, near to the grand old school house where started the most of these eminent and famous citizens op. their way to greatness and renown.' We refer to the Academy. Hallowed house, stand until ages more you see. In 1862 an act was passed for the erection of a school house(4n the: townof Newbern, which was the first effectual act, as stated, for the encouragement of literature. The Newbern Academy is the result of that law. We say again, Btand centuries ere you totter and fall, and may come once more, from thy sacred halls men the equal of our fathers to educate enlight en and benefit mankind. After Mr.; Bryan had concluded the reading of this paper, which was pre pared by Col. Jno. D. Whitford, he pre sented His Excellency, Gov. Thos. J. Jarvis, in the following words: And now, ladies and gentlemen and fellow-citizens, I have the pleasure of introducing to you His Excelloncy4 the Governor of the Statei No, not of in troducing, but of presenting to you, for he heeds hq introduction at the hands of any man, either to the people of North Carolina) or to the people of many of the States of this Union.

He said that in some sections of this State there '''was a great Dreiudice against this profession. He gave an in stance of it. In 1878 he heard an intel-. ligent voter say he would not vote for Hon. W. N. H. Smith for Chief Juati because he wus a lamer, and he had de- termined levef t8 vot for another law yer for anything, f The 'Governor then proceeded to show" thaV this prejudice of the people against the profession was not wholly unfounded and not without cause. , , Havine , nurd been a practicing attorney he had opportunities of finding out some or tne crooked ways and practices of these wicked attorneys who ero outside the bounds of their duty to their clients and inflict a great wiong upPn society. We know the Goyernor was rieht'in this for we have, though net a lawyer, seen instances of such practice. He next spoke of the jury system as an import ant part of the court, and gave the pro fessional juror a passing notice. He thought the standard of our juries had been let down too low. Here again the Governor was right. We had occasion to make this very charge recently: in fact, the Governor's ideas of a court judges, lawyers and jurors so thor oughly coincide with the views recently given on the Subject by the JdtXRNAL that we aro bound to pronounce his speech a very sensible one;' It was short, practicable and timely. This closed the exercises of the day. AT NIGHT. ' Promptly at eighi o'clock the broces- sion was formed, Atlantic No. 1 in front, New Berne next, then the Hook and Ladder Company, with the rear brought up by the Reliance and Rough and Ready, colored, and the line of march taken as heretofore miblished. On reaching tho Gaston House the Governor being called for made a brief address from the balcony of the hotel, congratu lating the department upon the efficiency it had reached and well-earned reputa tion, expressing the belief that New Berne was justly proud of it, and assur ing me omcers and men that whether New Berne was or not,' North Carolina was. . i. i; ,1 At the conclusion of the Governor's remarks there was a grand fusilade of fireworks, rockets, Roman Candles and various pyrotechnics . rising from a thousand points, producing one im mense flame as far as the eye ,' could reach. , ' ! '. . , , The conception was a grand one and most happily executed, nothing, equal to it having ever Jbeen seen in the city before, in fact gentlemen who have been ix various parts of this country and Europe pronounced it the grandest dis play they had ever witnessed..
