Mrs. PELLETS ScHooL-CLosE on THE
Snssloy.-That wcl-known and popular
prcccptrcsS, Mrs. \. l.. Pellet, on ycstcr-
day closed this session Of her school by q
few exercises, which although informal
were highly interesting.
The class of Ancient History was called
IN and examined thoroughly upon the
course Of their years study. The young
ladies showed remarkable degree Of pro-
ticicucv, and answered their questions
with a readiness that set young man
who was called on to act as eNamincr-to
blush at his ignorance Of historical facts.
The system Of treating history pursued by
Mrs. Pellet is an admirable one. The pu-
pil is taught to associate events with dates,
instead OF dcducing all event from Il given
date.
The following young ladies were given
certificates Of proficiency in Ancient His
tory: Misses Helen Bennett, 4. ?. Ben
nett, Nora D. Hudson, II. Bear, and Sophia
j. Boshcr.
The examination passed by these young
ladies was of most rigid character, and
they acquitted themselves in manner
that at once placed their proficiency in
their years study beyond doubt.
The following named pupils of music,
under Professor Roster, then performed
several pieces, vocal and instrumental, ar
tistically and satislactorily-viz.: Misses
Mamie Hudson, Sophie Bosher, Bette
Hargrove, and Rosa Hargrove.
The past session Of Mrs. Pellets school has
been very satisfactory one. The scholars
have conducted themselves well, and have
made good progress in all their studies.

LOCAL MATTERS.

MAYORS COURT = MAYOR MAYO PRE-
sIDING.-The Mayors docket begins to
show signs of summer, and refuses longer
to give us matter for our local columns
that would interest even the most curious.
A freedman or so for devising means not
honest to gain livelihood, pugilistic
Irishman for treating "iriend with a
dose of fist, or some unfortunate, forget
ful of the fact that cleanliness about the
premises is necessary to prevent cpl
denies, are the only classes of subjects
left for the operations of this tribunal of
Justice, and these are rather slack in their
peculiar propensities.
Yesterday morning the usual spectators
gathered in the newly arranged halls of
the Mayors Court, but an unusually small
amount of business was done. In fact, the
cases were 50 insignificant that we have
concluded to spare the unfortunate ar
raigncd the disagrccablc reflections that
might be caused by reading their names in
connection with mishccds.
We are glad that the city is in so orderly
a plight but an orderly city in hot
weather is thunder on "localS," and we
cannot but hope that a few disordcrly days
may mark the summer season.

self OF the opportunity afforded by the Iudian
troubles for the display of the energy. enter
prise, and daring which gave him so enviable
reputation during our recent civil struggle.
In assuming that it is the expressed wish OF
the people that Gen Sheridan should not be
removed from his present command, you re,
mark that this is republic where the will
of the people is the law OF the land, and
"beg that their voice may be heard. This
is indeed republic, based, however, upon
combined and expressed will of the people, and
their voice is law when reflected in the manner
which that instrument prescribes. While one
of its provisions makes the President comman-
uer-in-chiefo OF the army aud navy another re-
ouircs that ''he shall take care that the laws
be faithfully executed" Believing that a
change IN the command OF the 9TH military dis
tric, is absolutely necessary for 4 faithful exc
cuion of the laws, | have issued the order
which is the subject Of this correspondence;
and in thus exercising power that lnheres IN

Executive is so!emnly boand, 80 the best
al his ability, to preserve, protect, and defend
the Constitution" and although in time Of
great excitement it may be lost to public view,
it is his duty, without regard to the consequent
ces to himself, to hold sacred and to enforce
any and all Gifts provisions. Any other course
would lead to the destruction of the rcpubIlc
for the Constitution once abolished, there
would he no Congress for the exercise OF legls-
lativc powers, no executive to see that the laws
are faithfully executed, no Judiciary to afford

property. Usurpation would inevitably fol-
low, ard despotsm be fixed upon the people
in violation Of their combined and expressed
will
In conclusion, | TAI to perceive any '.milila
ry, "pccuniary. or 'patrio'ic reasons why
this order should not be carried into effect:
You will remember that in the first instance |
did not consider General Sheridan The most
suitable officer for the command OF the 9Th
military district. Time has strengthened my
convictions upon this point, and has led ne TO
the conclusion that patriotic considerations de-
mand that he should be sup rSeded by Oh Off

law, will at the same time give more general
satisfaction 10 the whole people, white and
