Conservative Meeting in the Upper
Wnrds

In response to an invitation published I'D
The DAILY NEWS, large number Of the Con-
servative residents OF the upper wards met at
Oppenheim's Hall last night to take preliminary
steps for organizing in view of the approach
ing elections. The hall was densely crowd
ed, the bone and sinew Of our city being fully
represented, and much interest was manifest
ed in the proceedings. After the organization
Of the meeting several speeches we're made. re-
pudiating all cliques and calling for united ac-
ton. The following resolutions were offered
and unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that each ward in the city be organized at
once; that each ward 30 organized appoint an
executive committee Of five; that when so ap-
pointed, all the executive committees from each
ward meet in central executive committee,
and that such central executive committee
shall be authorized to nominate suitable per-
son as candidate for Mayor of the City of
Charleston.
Resoiued, Thatit is further the sense of this
meeting that it is essential to success that
there should be but one candidate Of the Con-
seryative party OF Charleston; and that we cor
daily invite all true Conservatives who have
the real interests of our city at heart, to unite
upon the candidate 80 to be selected.
Meetings for Wards Nos. 5 and 6 were called
for Tuesday night, at the Eagle and Marion
engine houses respectively, and notice was
given that public mass meeting would be
held tonight, at the Masonic Hall.

: TIE BLUE RIDGE RAHRoAD.-The Anderson
Intelligencer learns that spirited meeting in
favor Of the Blue Ridge Railroad has been held
in Franklin, Macon County, n. c., and that
large and liberal subscriptions Of land will be
promptly made. The Intelligencer adds: ''To
the people of Rabun, Franklin, Cherokee and
Jackson counties, we would say that much de-
pends upon their prompt and efficient action.
II they subscribe at once the three hundred
thousand acres required, the effect on the
people of this State will result in the enter
prise being secured, and the work resumed.
The energetic efforts Of Gen. J. W. Harrison,
President Of the Blue Ridge Road, deserve en-
couragement. Under adverse circumstances,
with the country impoverished and the people
iespondent, he has set on foot this scheme Of
subscribing land for the purpose Of raising
funds to complete the road, and has given
close attention to the furtherance Of the OBJ
ject in view. We learn that the people Of Ra-
bun County were to hold similar meeting to
that Of Franklin on Monday last, and that
General Harrison would be present to urge the
proposed scheme"

The EXAMINATION of DR.. W. Il. Tarrant's
school, No. 80 Bull-street, yesterday, was at
tended BY considerable number of visitors.
The exercises passed off with credit to teachers
and pupils. and to the satisfaction and amuse-
ment OF the visitors. The examination showed
the admirable training of the boys, close at
tendance upon their duties, and the thorough
discipline of the school. The ladies present
we're, however, more specially pleased with the
elocutionary performances, which certainly
averaged considerably above the mean of school
boy excellence. The dialogue OF the Colonel
and the French Cook afforded great amusement
to pupils and visitors. Master Ball delivered
"Carolina," written by his mother, Mrs. C. A.
Ball, with great credit to himself, and doing
full justice to the noble theme. This poem, as
well as many others by the same author, we will
be pardoned for mentioning, was written for,
and first published in THE CHARLESTON DAILY
NEWS.
The boys voted the prize for elocution to
Master j. j. Chisolm, and the teacher gave
prizes for proficiency in their studies, punctu-
ality, good conduct, &c., to Masters Joseph
Whilden, Frank ]. Pelzer, and ]. n. Robson.

MAY DAY.AThe first day Of May in this
country is not the May-day Of Old England,
where by that time
The 'honeysuckle round the porch has wov'n Its
And by the mesdov.henches blow the faint, sweet
flowers.
There the day brings its crown Of flowers for
the fairest head, and it's dancing of happy vii
layers around the May-pole; perhaps on such
an occasion danced she of whom gallant Sir
John Sucking wrote that
Her feet, beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice, stole In and out
AS II they feared the light;
And then, she dances such way,
No sun upon an Easter-day
Is half so fine sight
Therecognition Of the first of May has an an
tique odor about it. It has been beautifed
with legend, with ceremonial and with song of
every order ofmerit and every order Of mood
Of which old English literature presents CO.
pious examples without further delving in the
Golcunda of rhyme without reason. Milton's
'I'Allegro' is grounded in the old poetic
apotheosis Of May, while in III Penseroso" the
DREAMER and more moody days of the English
September are interpreted. Spenser hos con-
tribGsed his share to the working up the deif-
cation, and every poetaster who has followed
has added his nlorceau to the days traditional
glory. There are Celtic legends of the O'Don-
oshue horseman and the Mummers OF his
train; there are Proyeneal ballads Of May-night
serenades; and last, though by no means least,
there is Tennyson's MAY Queen" which, ap-
pealing immediately to the hearts Of all En-
.glishmen, did. more for his reputation than
the fnical beauty and faultless aultiness Of
.sMaud. and the passionate intensity Of Clocks
ley Hall"-sll investing the dawn Of May with
an antique halo Of sliterary romance.
