persed, well pleased with the exercises.
At S o'clock in the evening, Rev. j. x. Men
denhall delivered very learned and instruc-
tive discourse on the appropriate theme of the
"Bible"
At an early hour in the evening the crowd
began to collect in the Female College Chapel
for the purpose of enjoying the exercises of the
Female College commencement. The room,
which is very large, was soon filled to what
seemed its utmost capacity and still they
wedged in. The doors and aisles were soon
filled. At the appointed time, Prof. Judson,
the worthy President announced that the SER
vices would begin by prayer by Rev. G. H.
Pritchard. Then comes piano duett by Pau
line Patrick and Kate Riley After the salu-
tatory address by Miss jamie Dorroh, came
another piano Duet by Miss Alice Means and
Miss E.. T. Smith. Gen. Capers then read an
instructive and well written composition on the
"Moral Effects of Painting and Sculpture" :"
by Miss Player. Miss Lizzie McKay's compo-
sition on "Our Part" was also read by Gen:
Capers, after which came beautiful song and
chorus by large number of young ladies.
Another composition on "Our Tolls and our
Rewards" by Miss Lila Caldwell, was read by
DR.. J. G. Furman, after which Gen. Capers
read the last one of the graduating compost
tions, by Miss Dorroh, "Never too late to
Learn" A touching vaedctory was then de-
livered by Miss Corinne Player. After fare

Greenvile, S. c.; and Miss Corinne Player, of
Darlington, S. c., the four graduates for this

Third Congressional District.

The arrangement Of this Congressional Dis
trict. under the late Act of the General Assem-
bly,, seems little singular to say the least oft
Phe county of Richland is separate and apart
from the other counties, which is an innovation
upon the ordinary custom of arranging Con-
gressional Districts Is there any requirement
for these subdivisions of the State to embrace
only contiguous territory? Certainly, the pres
ent arrangement has no precedent in South
Garolina, and we think the matter is worth
looking into.

MUSIC.

We were delighted last Thursday night with
balcony of the Court House steeple. Quite
goodly number of old and young of both sexes
turned out to listen to the sweet strains, and
expressed themselves much pleased with the
musical entertainment, which was both ex
quisite and charming The young gentlemen
who comprise the "Harmonia" perform ex-
ceedingly WELL and we take pleasure in con-
graduating them upon their ability and success.
They will give another concert tonight,
(Thursday,) if the weather is fair, and every
one is invited to come out and enjoy the music.
They have been practicing for some time, and
can now perform with ease selections of the
choicest music. Young men, bring your
sweethearts; and married men, your wives.

- The New York Herald says: There have
been eleven ballots for United States Senator
in the Rhode Island Legislature but an election
is apparently no nearer than when the contest
began. The Massachusetts struggle is being
repeated in all its details, and it will not be
surprising if the end is made similar by the
adoption ofsome new candidate as a compromise.
AS rule, compromise Senators cannot be ex-
pected to prove nationl blessings, and the pres
ent aspect of affairs in the Rhode Island Legis-
lature isnot altogether encouraging.

More Candidates for the Penitentiary

Several weeks ago we printed quite lengthy
list of minor officials in this State, who are
now caught in the meshes of the law, charged
with dereliction and official misconduct. The
work goes bravely on, for some unexplained
feeling has taken possession of grand juries to
ferret out and expose official roguery AS the
Little peccadilloes are being discovered, we
trust the day is not far distant when the bigger
thieves will receive their just merits. We
make the following additions to the roll of
candidates for the Penitentary and Executive
clemency:
l. The grand jury of Edgefeld County, en-
bracing an equal number of white and colOred
men, have found true bills against the County
Commissioners on six indictments, in which
they are charged with issuing illegal checks,
with fraudulent intent These Commissioners
are H. Strom, white, and Wesley Jefferson and
Dock Martin, colored.
2. The grand jury of Clarendon County have
presented four County Commissioners for cor
ruption, fraud and malfeasance in office-the
present Board and one member of the former
Board. The grand jury embraced twelve COL
ored and five white men.
8. The grand jury of Williamsburg County
have presented VIM. Scott, Robert F. Scott and
Ambrose Tinsdale, the present County Com
missioners, for corruption and malfeasance in
Office; Philip Heller, the County Treasurer,
for misappropriating funds and official miscon-
duct; and W. w. Ward, the County Sheriff,
for misconduct, fraud, corruption, perjury and
other crimes.
4. The grand jury of Georgetown County,
consisting of fifteen colored and three white
men, have presented James N. Lesesne, Henry
Joy and Richard o. Bush, the present County
Commissioners, for irregularities, malfcasance
and defalcation in office, which they set forth
in ten different specifications also, w. P.
Porter, Clerk of the Court, for being unfit and
incompetent for the discharge Of his duties

should escape. 1t is not, however, desirable to
keep any State in this Union in a permanent
condition of beggary aud ruin. That would
not help any part of the country: And ifpun-
ishment is to be insisted on, let it be punish
ment by legal means. We must once more
plainly tell the Republicans of South Carolina
that the whole country expects them to get rid
of Moses and all his crew, and to establish a
government which is not based On organized
pilage, and which will, therefore, not. be a dis
grace to the nation.

ALARM OF FIRE.

AT about o'clock on Thursday evening last,
the citizens were startled by an alarm of fire,
and upon repairing to the scene it was found
that the blacksmith shop formerly occupied by
Joe Dooly had caught fire on the roof. The
evening being very calm, the fire was soon put

certainly merit praise, and ought to be assis-

Tales OF a Grandfather.


Giddy girls, you may laugh at your Grand
papa now,
And enjoy putting pins in his chair,
Doubled up is this hgurc AMI fer 1wed is
brow,
Very scant are these teeth and this hair.
You may'speak of me still in your soft, pretty
way
As the quaintest old image unhung:
hut fond recOl ection survives my decay
was very good-looking when young.
Half century does make a sort Of kind
or difference, mark you, my dears,
And the brief way to reckon my age I'd, find,
is In tens or in dozens Of years.
I.must be about eighty or so, by the clock;
But my mind is little unstrung,
And my talent for counting has come to
block
was brilliant at figures when young
In the dash-along hard-llving Regency days
was prince of the fashion and style,
When drove in the park with my carriage
and bays,
Even Brummel bent low at my smile.
What was gold? A mere nothing. IN pleas
ure and play,
Far and wide 1t got scattered and hung;-.
For though now ON the parish, proudly can
say
was rolling in riches when young.
Oh, the flirting and frollc and fun that we
had!
was called an Adonis in curls,
There was many feminine heart very sad
When married your Grandmother girls
had rivals; but what was rival to me
With my figure, my face and my tongue?
An, believe me. the squalid old pauper you
see
Was dashlng Don Juan when young.

What relation is loaf of bread to

A sheep-stealer who had long es-

A Connecticut deacon in the olden
time was sorely troubled about the sci
entific assertion that the sun was
stationary body and did not move
around the earth. "For," said he to

the sun to stand still?" every WE'LL"
responded the dominic; "show me, if
you can, the passage of Scripture,
where it said that Joshua ever COM
manded the sun to move again."

Congress has "been and gone and
done it.' Done what? Why by SOL
emn vote in both houses, by a major
ity so large that there is no hope for a
reconsideration, it has decided:
l. That Alexander Hamilton was an
old fool.
2. Than Daniel Webster was an old
fool.
8. That Salmon P. Chase was no
better
4. That General Jackson, Lewis
Cass, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas II.
Benton, and all the old Democratic
statesmen of the past knew nothing
whatever about the first principles of
finance.
s. That Henry Clay, John Quincy
Adams, Peleg Sprague, John j.. Crit
tenden, and the Wing statesmen Of
the past knew nothing of finance.
6. That Charles Sumner, Charles
Francis Adams, William Pitt Fessen-
den, Horace Greeley and Abraham
Lincoln knew nothing about finance.
7. That all the scientific writer's on
finance, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill,
and all between them, did not under
otullu VIC 4uCDtiOh uPoh Whiei ChSy

s. That Senators Logan, Ferry, Nor

The Rev. Alfred Charles Smith, M. A., in
his " Pilgrimage Through Palestine" thus
speaks of Jerusalem: "of course the first at
traction to every Christian pilgrim in Jerusa-
lem must of necessity be the Holy Sepulcher,
and hither, within half an hour of our arrival
at the tents, We bent our steps; and on every
day Of our sojourn in Jerusalem we made q
point of visiting the church which contains the
spot which in all the world is, out of COM
parison, the most venerated by the Christian.
1t was certainly very repugnant to our feel
ings on descending the broad fights of steps
which led 70 the church, and on. entering the
great door, to see just within the precincts q
row of Turkish soldiers sittingo on divan smok-
ing their narghilehs, and chatting and laughing
In total unconcernc for the reverence felt by
Christians for this thrice-holy place. 1t was,
perha ps, still more humiliating to reflect why
these sneering followers of the false prophet
were present, and to recollect that their sole
object within the building is to repress the vio.
lent contentious of the rival churches and sects,
which would inevitably proceed to continued
feuds but for the oyerpowering presence Of the
armed guard. 10 -il ss5-.- "l1 a.
Notwithstanding this, one could not but feel
indignant as well as mortified at the custody OF
the most holy of Christian sites being commit
ted to the Moslems, and one began to under
stand something OF the fiery zeal which ami
mated the Crusaders in their brave efforts to res
cue the Holy Sepuleher from the hands of the
infidel. Soon, however, all thoughts of the
Turkish guard were forgotten, as we found
Ourselves at the very threshold Of the tomb of
our Blessed Lord; and then We followed in the
line of the pilgrims who are always congre-
gated here; and removing our shoes atthe vesi-
bule, entered, when our turn came, into the
Chapel of the Angel, SO named as commemo-
rating the spot where the blessed messenger Of
heaven was seen by the holy woman sitting on
the stone which he had rolled back from the
door
