Conferring Degrees-AT -Benediction.
+ FF,xcused from Speaking
We have not room for comment on
the different speeches but viii say that
all were Of a high order Of merit.
The degree of Bachelor of arts was
conferred on the members of the grad
uati5lg class and certificates of prof.
cheney given to AIessrs Allen & Owens
constituting the Scientific class. The
degree of Master Of Arts was confer
red on the class of 1864.
After the ceremony of conferring de-
grees had been concluded Professor Nc
Cabe, officiating as President, made an
eloquent, beautifu1s and appropriate
farewell address TO the graduating class.
At the conclusion Of his remarks Hon,
Samuel Galloway, who was on the ros-
trunl, was requested to address the au-
dience which he did for q few moments.
Chaplain BIcCabe was then called for
and sang in his popular style Julia
/ Ward Howe's noble song, the Battle
/ Hymn of the Republic, in the chorus OF
/ which the audience Joined. Finally the
| last benediction was pronounced and the
/ Twenty-third COMMENCEMENT was end
/ ed, but its pleasant associations and ex-
/ ercises viii linger long in the memo
ries and hearts of those who were SO
| fortunate as to enjoy them.
! The day was a splendid one and the
beautiful grove and surroundings sug-
/ gestive of most pleasant thoughts.

Gen. SickIes commander of the Sew

| following letter to the Adjutant Gener.
/ al of the Army, under date of June 10
asking to be relieved from his com
mand:
I have thu honor to request I may be-
I Irelieved from command in this military
district. respectfully demand a c0ur
! of inQuiry upon my official actions, thai
/ [ may .Vindicate myself from the accu.
sations of the Attorney General, pub
/ lished, it is presumed, with the approx.
/ al of the President. Congress having
] declared these sO-called State govern
ments illegal, the declaration of the
] Attorney General that the military au
Jhority has not superseded them, pre-
/ vents the execution of the rec0nstruc
zion act, disarms me of the means tC
/ protect life, property, or rights of citi
zens, and menaees all with ruin.
Major General, Commanding.
General Phil. Sheridan, commanding
the Fifth District, writes from New Or.
leans to Gen. Grant, under date Of june
I'D, as follows
GENERAL: I am in receipt of a tel
| egram from the President, through
/ 3reYet Maior-Gen. Townsend, Adm.
/ tant-General United States Army, di.
recting me 20 extend the registration ot
this city and St2tas until August I, un-
Il less E-ia84s=e SOME good reasons to Ehc
Z contrary, and oF&eriag me to report
/ success and such reasons for his infOr-
nation and also stating that in his
/ Judgment this extension is necessary to
full and fair registration, and that the
1 time should be thus extended because
/ other district commanders will not get
/ through before that lime. My reasons
for closing registration in this city were
/ because I had given the city two and a
! half months, and there were no more to
4 register. I have given the State two
/ and a half months and registration will
/ he exhausted by that time. I did not
/ feel warranted in keeping up boards OF
/ registration at large expense TO suit
/ new issues coming in at the eleventh
/ hour. The registration will be COM
/ oleted In Louisiana at the time specl-
/ lied, unless / am ordered to carry out
[ she law under Mr.. anbery's inteTpre-
fatiOn, which practically in registration
4 is opening broad maCadamiZed road
/ for perjury and fraud to travel on. ]
/ do not see why my registration should
1 be dependent on time when other dis
4 trict commanders get through. I have
given more time for the registration OF
Louisiana than they propose to give in
their commands, for I commenced six
weeks before they did. regret that I
have to differ with the President, but it
must be recolIected that I have been
/ ordered to execute a law to which the
{ President has been in bitter antagon-
T ism. If after this report the time be
extended, please notify, and it will be
done. / would do it at once. but the
/ Presidents telegram was conditional,
and there is sufficient time left to issue
the necessary orders.
