STRONG LANGUAGE. The Presidents
organ lashed the Reconstruction Commit
tee with heavy hand. 1t is refreshing to
think that Mr.. Johnson endorses such
language as the following:
1--WE do not believe that God has given
tomortal man thepower to manage the Eng
lsh language so that it will ever again in one
paragraph contain so many unmitigated
and unreasonable falsehoods, or convey so
much injustice to the southern, and so much
humiliating defamation of the northern
section of this nation, as the sixth opinion
Eliminates.
"Again, in No. g. we find that the
question is whether conquered rebels
may change their theatre Of operations
from the battlefield ito the
halls of Congress, and through their repre-
sentatives seize the Government which
they fought to Destroy 1t is a commit
tee of American senators and representa-
tives that publish such infamous misrepre-
sensations of the present position as the
above. The man that wrote the sentence
quoted, and the men who signed it knew
it to be utterly without truth, or else their
ignorance is so fragrant that it is deplora-
bic that they occupy high and responsible
stations.
els this Government Of thirty-six or
TWENTY-FIVE States! Shall loyal men 60
into Congress from whatever section they
NAV hail? On these issues we have no
fear of the people; they will demand that
all loyal men shall enter the halls Of legis-
lation : and if the thirty-ninth Congress is
incompetent to decide whether man Is
loyal or not, or properly elected or not, the
fortieth Congress will have the necessary
amount Of Intelligence to settle such
points,"

number III DlaCk NOtSis"vC~
hundred, the negroes will, nevertfieffesS"'ee
included in the basis of representation.
The third section would, if adopted,
cxc,ude but a small portion of our people
from office. In Richmond, for instance,
there is, We believe, but one ex-memoer
of Congress, dozen or so men VINO were
once officers Of the United States, some
thing like the same number OF ex-mem-
hers of the Legislature, and twice as many
10 have been officers under the State
eoyernment-say fifty in oil. The ooJec-
ton TO this section is to the principle IN
,,o,rsd not to the number prohioitcd
from holding Office. If adopted, pehher
Judpe Lyons nor Judge MEREDITH ior IN
stance, could continue in their pfesen'
positions, nor could the CLERKS Oh their
courts. Throughout the State many old
omc;o,s who held office before and during
tho war. as we'll as now, would have to be
laid aside, though their number bears but
an insignificant proportion to the whole
number Of voters. Judge MoScURE and
Judge JoYNEs, Of the Supreme Court Of APP
meals. are both in this category. 1t is not
70 be expected, then, that Virginia will
ratify the amendment Il there were nc
objection to the other sections.
The fourth section is unimportant. II
the moral obligation to pay the public
debt is not strong enough to secure its
payment, the moral obligation to respect a
x>-o,,,;sa ~ nav n will afford tha bond
holders but slim security. AS to claims
for compensation for emancipated slaves,
the same remark may be made. II the
moral obligation to pay for such slaves is
respected, no conflicting moral obligation
can be created by the Constitution.

A EREEDMEN'a FARM.

While on Edisto Island we visited the
Eddings plantation, which is being cult
waited by freedmen exclusively, working
under the direction of one of their own
number, superintendent chosen by them
selves. Here the people are apparently
doing well, and have fair prospect of Il
good crop. This, however, is almost the
only instance we met with on any of the
islands where the freedmen, cultivating
exclusively for themselves, without the
direction of whites, were doing even tole-
rably WELL

COMMENCEMENT AT THE COLLEGE.

As the annual commandments at Hamp-
den Sidney had been suspended for four
wears, great interest was excited by the
announcement that the customary eXer-
cises would take place upon to-day and
tomorrow, the 18th and 18th Of June. 1t
was stated at first that Mr.. c. l.. Vallan-
digham and Mr.. Sullivan, of New York,
would deliver the addresses, but both of
these gentlemen were unable to attend.
At an early hour this morning, the friends
of the students, the old alumni and the
ladies for miles around, were beginning to
arrive at the college, and nearly all the
vehicles in which they rode and the ami
mails which they bestrode, told a tale Of
Confederate days gone by as palpably as
would a burned house or ruined mill.
There was every variety of hack, ambu-
lance, carryall, and buggy; and every va
riety of horse and mule, from the fiery
steed which had borne in safety some ro-
tund quartermaster, to the attenuated
mule whose dropping ears, hollow TANKS,
and spiritless tale mutely uttered its
history of "ploughing all the week and
dragging the family to church on Sunday"
There was every description OF gay dress
among the fair young danes of Prince Ed
ward and the counties beyond, and there
was every description Of marvellous APP
parel and head gear upon the part OF their
cal!ant beaux. All parties paid their
respects TO the innocent lemonade, oranges,
and cakes, which were displayed upon the
green, and by II o'clock the College
Church was crowded with ladies and gen.
tlemen, all anxious to hear DR.. Dabney's

ADVICE VERSUS ASSISTANCE.

An impartial comparison OF the relative
condition of the freedmen on the South
Carolina islands and those in Florida and
southwest Georgia clearly demonstrate that
the freed people who have remained on
the plantations, and have been aided by
the advice of sensible and practical mill
tary and bureau officers, are infinitely bet
ter off than those who have been assisted
with rations and clothing by the Govern
ment.

THE LITERARY SOCIETIES.

At Iampdcn Sidney there are now two
debating societies, both of old standing
and high reputation. The "Union" is
the elder of the two, but the "Philan-
thropic" has among its members two-thlrds
of the entire number of students. Each
society has fine hall and an excellent
library, although the two societies lost about
five thousand volumes Of books during the
war. Six or eight hundred volumes OF
those lost or carried away have been re-
turned, and it is hoped the entire number
will ultimately be recovered.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-06-15

During the day the chapel In the cOlleSe
building was prettily festooned with flow
crs and evergreens, and at the upper end,
in bold relief, was the motto of the PHI
lanthropic Society dude Sapere." At s
o'clock, p. NJ, the whole building was
crowded with the fair friends of the col
lcgians. The members of the Philharmo-
mic Society wore handsome badges; and an
excellent amateur band, composed en-
tirely of students, played prettily and well,
to the great entertainment OF the audience.
When a spirited overture of real old Viz
GINA tunes had been performed by the
band, Mr.. 7. r. Edmunds, of Brunswick
county, a member of the Philharmonic So
ciety, delivered an address upon Life, the
image Of the heut. The address was highly
creditable to the speaker. His concep-
tions were chaste and correct, and his IL
Illustrations were frequently both original in
thought and poetical in expression.
The delivery of the address was, perhaps
owing to nervousness, somewhat hurried,
and this alone married its complete success.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Edmunds's ad-
dress the band again played, and Mr.. E. X.
Stamps, of Milton, North Carolina, de-
livcred an address upon "IN STRUGGLING
WITH MISFORTUNE LIES THE PROOF OF VIR-
TUE" Mr.. Stamps was not SO fluent as the
previous speaker, but the correctness and
clearness of his language gained for him
continued and well merited applause. The
subject was noble one, and Mr.. Stamps
did full justice to it. At the conclusion OF
each address each speaker was greeted
with number of handsome bouquets, sent
to him by ladies In the audience.
After the addresses were over, there was
some chatting, joking, little flirting,
some patriotic singing, and the gay party
then separated to meet again tomorrow,
when more addresses will be spoken, and
the commencement of 1866 come to close.
