PROF. CHARLES. E. YoUNG.-The many
teemed fellow-citizen, Col D. S. Young, will
be gratified to learn that he is achieving fine
reputation in his adopted State, Kentucky, as a
public instructor. For several years past he
| has been the Principal of a Female Institute at
Nichofasvile, Kentucky, and so successful was
he in the discharge OF the duties of that posi-
ton, that attention was sttractcd to him from
other portions of that State. Recently he was
unanimously elected Principal Of Female
School, to be established at Paris, Kentucky.
After maturely considering the proposition, he
has determined to accept it, and the present
scholastic year he devotes his talent to the new
institution. The prospects at Paris are much
more lattering than at the place he has determ-
ined to leave, inasmuch as it is larger place, a
richer country, and the field for usefulness, as
we'll as profit, much more enlarged.
The N.cholasyille Journal of the 9th inst,
has the following notice Of Prof. Young and
his proposed REIMBURSEMENT of his relation to
the school at that place
PROF. CHAs. e. YoUNG.-rhis gentleman
whom we regret o lose from this community,
enters upon his new field of labor under very
fattering circumstances. The trustees of the
Garth Institute. at Paris, have secured verv
eligible and valuable property for the Princi-
pals residence and scheol-buil ding There is
a handsome and commodious house on the lot,
and the erection of a school-room will soon be
commenced We heartily wish the Professor
abundant success in his new undertaking, and
hope to hear of a flourishing Institution under
his charge.
At meeting of the Board OF Trustees of the
Jessamine Female institute, held on the I'd day
of August, 1875, the following preamble and
resolution, were adopted
Whereas, Prof c. E. Young has resigned
his position as Principal Of the Institute with
view of going to another field of labor, and
whereas, under the circumstances, we feel con-
strained to acquiesce i'll the severance of our
relations.
| Resolred, That we consider C. e. Young,
lately Principal Of the Jessamine Female Insti
tute, faithful and competent in the performance
of his duties as an instructor, and parting with
us he carries with him our confidence and es-

A considerable number of the Republican
papers in New Jersey are advocating the nom
nation of United States Senator Frelnghuy-
sen for President next year. It would be
funny if the candidates would be Freling-
huysen, OF New Jersey, ON the Republican
side, and Bayard of Delaware, OH the Demo
cratic side. Then one or the other OF these
little States would be sure to have the Presi-
dent; and wouldn't the lucky little sovereignty
swell some?-Philodclphia Times (Iud.)

Senator Norwood, in his recent address

Senator Norwood, in his recent address al
Emory College, made some interesting points
Among them were these:
4@"While emancipation diminished our wealth,
it increased our political power. Negroes vote
for men and not for measures, and their $780,.
900 votes will be added TO ours. The negro is
gravitating towards us. The people of the
North will soon rise and demand surrender
of the elective franchise or colon ization.'

The Spectator informs its readers that the
elections in Kentucky and Alabama last week
resulted in favor OF the Democrats. Our neigh
Dor, we presume, has not heard that there was
an election in North Carolina about the same
time, and that the Republicans carried the
State by from 10000 to $4,000 majority, with
fifteen majority in the convention to revise the
State constitution. The gain to the party is
estimated from $4,000 to 10000 in the popular
vote.

Ignatius Donnelly's convention met in Mn

%. They made no nominations, probably be-

selves with expressing great fondness for soft
money in unlimited quantities. Mr.. Donnelly
thinks the September meeting will put out a
ticket which will revolutionize the State.

North Carolina Election.

An election took place in North Carolina on
the 9th inst, of no ordinary significance. The
Democratic party had become dissatisfied with
their State constitution, because it recognized
the results Of the war, and because it was the
work Of men who had declared their accept
ance Of those results and their desire to throw
the State in harmony with the irrcversible facts
Of history. With view to changing the constr
tuition, thus framed, an election was held for
delegates to a constitutional convention. The
issue was tightly drawn and distinctly marked.
as between the Republicans who are opposed
to any change in the constitution, and the
Democrats who are in favor OF radical revo-
luton in the fundamental law of that State
The old cry Of negro rule, carpet-bag corrup-
ton, federal tyranny, was earnestly proclaim
ed by the Democrats, and all the devices OF UNI
scrupulous demagogues resorted to for the pur-
pose OF exciting race prejudice, and arraying the
white against the coloredpeoplc. But it did rot
win. The result of the election shows that the
people are getting tired Of the blatant dema-
goeucs who live upon the mishaps and wrongs
of tic Dcopie, and that there is no dispo-
stion on The part of the majority of the voters
Of North Carolina to disregard their pledges to
the constitution as it is, and the results of the
war as they stand; nor are they inclined to
strike from the State constitution provisions
comprellending the interests and protection CT
the masses AT the last election for Congressman
the Democrats carried the State by about TO-
600 majority. Last week the Republicans car
ried it on the popular vote by $4,000, and cleo
ted from, Is to 10 majority Of the delegates to
tie convention. The result will be there will
he 10 change in that instrument and the mar
plots and the demagogues will still have to
live under law that respects and protects the
rights and Interests of the poor and humble as
well Us the rich and naughty.

4 Fable.

Aristo tells a story of fairy who,
by some mysterious law of her ma
ture, AEas condemned to appear at
certain seasons in the form of a foul
and poisonous snake. Those who
injured her during the period of her
disguise were @vsr cxc.udcdfrom par
ticipation in the blessings she be-
slowed; but to those who, in spite of
hes loathsomc aspect, pitied and pro
tccted her.. she afterward revealed
herself in the beautiful and celestial
fonn which was natural to her, ac-
companied their steps, granted all
their wishes, filed their houses with
wcaTtllsmadc them happy inlove, and
victorious in war. y useful-moral
might be drawn from this little fable,
in favor of slowing kindness and ci-
Witty to the most degraded and un-
happy.
