Letter From Athens.
COMMENCEMENT,

| COMMENCEMENT.
Both teachers and students are laboring
earnestly to render all the exercises of the
| commencement, which will begin on
Thursday the 9Th and end on Wednesday
the l4th, creditable to themselves and the
| institution, and interesting and beneficial
to those who may attend. There will be
examinations of classes during each of
these days. On Monday night class in
Defamation will give an exhibition. On
Tuesday night oratioEs will be delivered
and original essays read. On Wednesday
morning the graduating class, consisting
of five gentlemen and three young ladies,
will appear with their graduating orations
and essays. On Wednesday night it is
proposed to have grand festival--all OF
which exercises will be interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music. Misses F.
BOsworth and Winsor, of Shelbyville,
Tennessee, who assisted in the concert
here some time ago, will again be present
and lend their assistance.
DR.. Cobleigh and the graduating class,
in their hberality, have agreed to have
constructed in the Chapel, before COM
mencement, a new stage with walnut
finished front, instead of the old and not
very ornamental one used heretofore.
Rev. J. A. Hyden has kindly proposed
to have other repairing done which will
add to the appearance of the building.
The commencement this year promises and
is expected to be of more than usual interest,
and those wishing to visit the school
should avail themselves of this favorable
opportunity. Athens will hold all that
will come.
NJ. E. CONVENTION.
Quite a number of ministers and laymen
from all the States of the South have al
ready notified the committee-Rev. J. w.
Mann and DR.. G. A. Gowan-of their in
tention of being present, and it Is desired
that all others who expect to attend and
have not yet notified the cammittee, to do
so at once. The convention meets on the
10Th and closes on the 18th. The subjects
chosen for discussion, the ability of many
of those expected to compose the conven-
ton, and the harmony and good feeling
that has SO far pervaded the undertaking,
foretell a convention of importance, inter-
est and pleasure. Persons attending either
the commencement or the convention can
procure half-fare tickets on the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad.
CHANCERY COURT.
Chancellor Key is now holding this
court at this place. Last week was devoted
to the business of McMinn county, and
during the present week Monroe county
business, which the immaculate Solons of
the late Sanhedrim of Nashville trans
ferred to this place for the sake of getting
rid of radical clerk and master, is being
dispatched. In consequence of which
quite number of persons from various
parts of Monroe are in town, among whom
is the representative of that county who
introduced the bill that accomplished the
patriotic and statesman-like feat. He
seems to be enjoying himself.
Prominent legal gentlemen from Chatta-
nooga, Cleveland, jacksonville and Knox
vile are in attendance. C.M.M.

ia The bloody picture that Paris presents

the captured Communists, furnish a sub

THE election for School Commissioners,
three to each civil district, takes place to-
morrow, and we hope it will not be over
looked or neglected. The names of sew
eral good and worthy citizens have been
suggested three are named this morning
and we trust some of them will make
known their feelings on the subject. We
can not afford to allow this election to go
by default, and hope by tomorrow morn

who to support and see that they are good

We gave some days since an account of
the murder of the Archbishop of Paris. In
speaking Of this the New York Standard
says. The brutal murder of the Arch
bishop of Paris brings to mind that the Of
81 fee hasbeen most unlucky and unfor-
ttihate one! In 1S4s Archbishop Attire was
killed at barricade, where he was en-
xdeaForing to mitigate some of the horrors
~of the revolutionary strife. His successor,
Mgr. Sibour, was assassinated in 1857, by
an insane priest, whilst celebrating mass.
The next IN order Cardinal Morlot, is

fand his official income on the restoration
of Note Dame and similar works. He

been announced.

AZ SERIES of Geographic dispatches,
which passed between Gen. Grant and
Gen: Thomas, concerning the battle of
Nashville, have just been published, and
show very clearly that though Gen. Thom-
as actual situation at Nashville was much
misunderstood at both Washington and
City Point, Gen. Grants kilograms all the
way through show conclusively that his
uneasiness was not from any want of con-
fidence in Thomas, but solely because he
feared he did not realize the situation in
other portions of the theatre of wer. AS
soon as he become satisfied of the real stu
alton at Nashville, he promptly retracted
all his. complaints, and repaired all the
injury done. There is nothing connected
with the correspondence which reflects
upon Gen. Grant.

THE Washington Treaty seems to be as
acceptable in Canada as England. The
Montreal .TitaesS. of the 29th ult. says:
sour Canadian Executive is going to ex-
ereise the same privilege as the Queen her
self of ratifymg treaty without asking
the eeusent of Parliament. This will, we
presume, be final as far as regards the fish
cries, but legislation may be required to
open the canals. All this is for the best
for two reasons. First any solution of in
lsesh atipnal, di difficulties is better than the
afbitration ofwar; second, the Dominion
Of, Canada will, we hope, gain by all she
comedies in this treaty, as well as by all
she acquires through it. There are GER
: tainly various points in which we might
Justly have claimed more; but, upon the
>, whole, the treaty is, we think, a happy So
LUTON, of the complication of difficulties"

OSCAR :. DUNN.

ieutenant-Governor DUNN, OF Louisiana,
whose death ID announced in our columns
was . colored man, and at one time q slave.
In New Orleans paper, in 1871, he was adj
yer tised as a fugitive. in the following terms:
S. RswARD-Run away from the sub
scribers, on the z3d of November, the negro
boy Oscar Dunn, an apprentice to the ;las-
tering trade. He is Of rriffe color, between
twenty and twenty one years Of age, and
about ive feet ten or eleven inches high. All
persons are cautioned not - harbor said boy ,
under penalty Of the Law. Wilson i Pattcr-
| soa, corner st, John and Common streets.
The war in ~. saratsd By the slave holders
| to sustain their peculiar institution has chang
ed all that. The reconstruction acts went
still further and. supplemented by the three
last constitutional amendments, completed
| the colursd mans enfranchisemeut. Thus
it happened that the fugitive apprentice, will,
SO poor an outlook for the future then, TWEEN.
~ years later died while holding the Office Of
Lieutenant Governor of his native State.
Mr.. Dunn was q man of excellent natu
raj abilities, snd secured respect in the com
parAtively high position to which he hai
been elevated by the SURFACES OF his fellow
citizsns. He had besa seriously i'll for som,
time, and the fatal termination Of his diseas
| was not unexpected.

A Look in the Future.

The future policy OF the leaders
Of the Democratic party will be to
create dissensions in tho ranks Of
the Republican party, anu by
forming an alliance with the disaf-
footed" place q man Of the Chase,
or Gratz Browns school Of refo. IN
crs in nomination for the Presiden
cy. This movement, advocated by
Senator Blair in his Montgom-
cry speech, is endorsed by such
men % Schurz of the Republican
party, who, like Dana, OF the New
York Sum, are opposed to the re-
nomination of President Grant
simply because they are unable to
control his administration. There
Is NO doubt that such o scheme is
on foot, and it will probably be
perfected during the coming ses
sion Of Congress.
The future policy Of the Repub-
lican party is plain. 1t has no re-
organizing to effect further than to
slough off few disorganizers and
purge itself of traitors and dema-
Rogues. It is the misfortune OF
the Republican party that it has
stood by some men who have at
tempted to dictate the policy of the
party or play the demngogue too
long. As in the case Of Andrew
johnson, had he been denounced
from the day no was inaugurated
Vice. President. the party and tue
country would have been better
of. But the Republican party, in
hope, chung to him until disgrace
covered it and calamity nearly
overlook it. Men should profit BY
experience. and q repetition Of this
dangerous course be avoided. Mer
who are not with re, can be safe
" set down as being against III
and while it b highly proper t.
harmonic as far as possible all thu
different factions and elements o
the party, it is better at all time'
to chow up political leaders in theil
true light, and let the people, VIII
are the legitimate arbitrator
decide upon their merits.

The Social Evil.

Il
G-umbling at the manmer Of OK
ecutirg the law, we do not care to
indulge in only when there seems
10 be an imperative necessity. and
we think that moving power is now
sufficient to impel US to whisper a
thought or so to our municipal au
shori:ies. as to the mode in which
they are executing the law for the
suppression Of the "social evil'
in our city.
The similarity of executing tie
"cow ordinance" we used to have
in our city. and the law regarding
houses of ''ill .fame," bears so
striking resemblance that we
can not refrain from noticing it
It will be recollected that, as an
indacemens 10 the police officers at
that time, and to secure their vig-
lance, the sum of 75cts. per head,
was the reward. for cows imponnd
ed by those guardiance Of the pub
lie peace. 1t viii be recollected
that the pound proved almost too
small to hold the hovines-so keen
eyed did the force become--and
one dark night, especially, so Wig.
liant were they that an old gray
mare was impounded, having been
mistaken for q cow-so intent were
they seeking after that IS cts /!
Well, the law under consider
alton allows 75cts. for each ar
res. made for q male visitant to
one Of those disrcputable houses,
and the Police are peculiarly lynx
eyed. and can see afar off, and they
rarely fail TO nab the unlucky
wight found in one of those cham
bers Of death. We have no com.
plant to make, regarding these
arcsts,o the money they may make
by the; operation, provided they
would only go one step farther and
arrest the equally vile inmates o.
these dens, and inducing causes o.
those visitations, and obtain The
75cts. per head for them also. i
looks inconsistent with the rule o
equal and exact justice, to permi
the cause Of the trouble to renal,
undisturbed and unmolested-th,
trap and the bait to be constantly
set, and male game subject onl:
to seizure and punishment We Elm
cearly believe that the constan
capture and fining OF the .'soile'
doves" together with their visitors
would dry up this evil; but, at tn
same time the 75cts per head 10
arrests, would also vanish.
| But if the law was intended t.
destroy these dens, INSTEAD ofkcer
ing them alive for the sake OF put
ting money in the pockets OF tn
police, tho course VIC have pointe
out should be observed, and a
should suffer the penalty alike.
