The Educational Advantages of Stanton.
In one of our late papers we uninteation-
ally drew an invidious distinction between
the school presided over by Mr.. Harris and
some others. We cheerfully make the cor
rection:
The Wesleyan Female Institute may be
justly classed as one Of the first schools in
Virginia or the South. 1t has just closed
its 18th session with unprecedented success.
1t is under the auspices Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. The Rev. VIM.
A. Harris, so widely celebrated throughout
the South as one of our most talented Edu-
Gators, is assisted by full and
able Faculty
In this Institution the course of study is
high; the system of teaching being largely
by lecture, and like that pursued in our Vir-
ginia University. Mathematics and Moral
Philosophy are taught by Professor Harris !;
Physical Sciences and Languages by gen
tleman who has been educated in two of the
oldest Colleges in Virginia French is in the
hands of native of France and master of
the language. Music is taught by Professor
Hewett, one Of the Oldest and abest compo-
sers and teachers of Music in the South. He
is assisted by superior and accomplished vo-
calist. Other departments are equally well
filed by competent Professors and Teachers.
Besides these advantages, this school is
refined and happy home, in which the health,
comfort, morals and manners of pupils re-
ceive special attention. Its well deserved
popularity is indicated by the fact that the
applications for admission of pupils last ses-
sion exceeded its Accommodations 1t was
ss..led with nupils from Virginia and various
Southern States 1t has high class of pat
rons, and more refined and dignifed class
Of young ladies We have never seen in any
Institute
Situated in most delightful locality the
whole appearance Of the buildings denoting
beautiful summer retreat rather than
school with a President and Faculty SO Just
ly celebrated, the future succcss-as has been
the past--of the Wesleyan Female Institute
is an assured fact. We learn that applca-
tions are already coming in, promising
another full and prosperous session.

In the Senate to-day the bill postponng the cleo

day In December was passed by vote Of 33 to 7.
1t also increases the number OF ballot boxes to

they were not allowed 10 vote they would fight. lie
warned Sena tors to be careful how they acted.
In the House long and warm discussion took
place on the eligibility OF negro members and the
right OF negroes to hold office.
Mr. Tumlin, a democrat, said the question was one
OF vital Importance To both in Georgia. They
were here now consuming the peoples money, and
the action Of the Legislature was clogged until The
question settled.
motion to reconsider the adoption Of the minor
ity report stood ayes s5, noes 3d.
Mr. Scott, u democrat, made speech on the mo-
ton to adopt the substitute declaring all the negro
members ineligible. He said this government
founded by the AngloSaxons. The superiority and
supremacy of that race has never been denied on
this continent. The negroes were an ignorant and
servile race. The majority OF the coorcd members
could neither read write, and did not know what
the constitution ana laws were. The Supreme
Court of the United States, the Interpreter OF
the constitution in every State Of the ORR
gnal thirteen, recognized the Africans as a
separate race Washington fought to establish
white mans government. No change of ad-
mnistration can make the negro the equal OF
the white man, socially or politically The right TO
and be sued gives no political rights. The
Emancipation Proclamation simply declares that the
negroes free. Persons OF color do not deny this,
but do deny their right to sit here and make laws for
the white race and laws Of Congress; nor do the
construction laws give the negroes any right to hold
Office. lie read from the speech OF Ex-Governor
Brown, who says:--"Our constitution does not
fer the negroes the right to hold Olice, but simply
to vote - and continued. --'If neither the constitution
OF the United States the Shernan-Shellabarge
bill conferred the negro the right to hold ONCE,
whence did the Georgia Convention get the right TO
confer II upon them?"
At the conclusion OF the speech the House ad-
,Ourued.
