ing was complete success. The hall was
full to overlooking, and the interest in the
debates is increasing rapidly. The question
was an old one, bus the discussion was ami
mating and really able and brilliant. 1t in-
volved the education of the sexes. One side
was OF the opinion that men should be edu-
Gated to a greater extent than women. j.
V. Boeclt, ESQ.,. led off in the afii native.
He was followed by DR.. Monroe in a very
neat and handsome speech, insisting that it
was important to give to females the same
educational advantages as the sterner sex.
-Tne Duvt~r@ acquitted himself la,,t1-or.els.
aud was highly applauded Tor his effort, and
convinced alle present that he will prove to
be one of the most valuable members. and
a dehater of more than ordinary ability. r.
2. Viyion, ESQ, answered DR.. Monroe, and
iu his foreible and vigorous style, pitched liz
to the positions assumed BY the negative and
made some extremely strong points difficult
to overcome. The audience attested their
appreciation OF MS address with continued
applause when lie concluded. Judge George
Wakefield, our newly elected County Com
missioner, having been called out by the an-
dience, took the stand, and in remarks ex-
tending to 80 minutes in length, made one OF
the best extemporaneous speeches we have
ever heard in a debating club. He took a
logical view of the question and showed that
man from bis very organization should re-
eeiYe the most education. He said man led
all enterprises, whether in science or in civil
government-man was the promulgator OF
all useful knowledge-he went forth in the
march of civilization and was the instrument
by which the truths OF the Bible were des-
simmated and the Gospel preached. He was
listened to throughout with marked attention
and received the planaits of his hearers when
he closed his remarks.
DIR. Wright, Agent of the Crows, being
present, was loudly called for and with some
hesitation and reluctance, took the stand and
took the side OF the ladies, which was quite
natural for him, being Kentuchian bred
and born, He presented ME practical views
and enforced them in a clear and able argu-
ment The audience were highly entertained
and pleased with the manner in which he
advocated the cause Of won an
J.V. Bogert closed the debate for the af<
firmative, though some thought he proved a
traitor to the cause which he was to espouse
and got oversto the side of the ladies. Such
depression should be pardoned, when it IS
understood that our friend Bogert is young
bachelor and is ardently seeking wife.
Rev. T. G. Lift and julius Bazinski, ESQ.,,
were appointed judges OF the debate, and Mr..
Lift in a few appropriate remarks announced
the decision TO be in favor of the negative,
and the ladies came off conquerors.
The question for debate next Tuesday
evening is whether we shall have city or
ganization or not. +. 2. Vivion and j. ".

Mcguire, Negative.
