4 Miss Com ptea acquitted herself in a man
ner that VIC have never seen excelled OF
such AN occasion. She won the admiration
and sympathy of her large audience He

and other friends were full of gratitude and
love. She has been five years at the Insti
tute, and seemed 10th to leave its familiar
halls.
The music to-day was fully equal to the
other exercises, and was furnished chiefly
by the graduating class. The singing by
Miss Ida Judd, young lady from Brook
| Ign, n. Y, pupil of the Institute, was very
fine. She is a superior vocalist, and have
no doubt will become distinguished in that
role
A dozen or more of the graduates of the
Institute being present at the CONNIE nee
ment, they have concluded TO organize an
Alumni Association. A meeting is now be-
ing held for that purpose. The Association
will meet annually during Commencement
week.
President Hillman reports the past Insti-
tute year as one of substantial prosperity !;
that the number of pupils in attendance
one for the last fourteen years of its exist
ence, and their character, as shown in their
generally good department and successful
industry, has never been surpassed. The
Institute has large library, and fine cab
met of geological specimens and natural
cuIiosities.
The collegiate year of the Institute con-
sists of forty weeks. The next session will
commence September 28th; and / am glad
to see that the commencement exercises for
1876, of College and Institute, will not con-
flict as was the case this week--the College
having closed first, and many of the visitors
having lett early in the week To the credit
of the Young men of the College be it said,
they remained, with few exceptions, to the
close of the Institute exercises.
Central Female Institute is an institution
of which any State may well be proud; and,
success being the criterion of merit, wei
deserves the liberal patronage it has ever
enjoyed. President Hillman is maturing
plans for the enlargement of its accOmmo-
dations, so as to be able to board two hun
dred or more pupils, but the state of the |
just yet, does not justify the ne
cessary expenditure.
1 cannot close this letter without bearing |
testimony to the decided interest manifested |
by the people of Clinton and surrounding /
country in the success of the College and /
Institute. The audiences on Commence
ment week very large, and as attentive
and orderly as can be found any where. 1t
Is too often the case that schools and other
in place, worthy of confidence
and support, are destroyed by the indiffer-
ence of the community. 1t is a great prop to
and wonderful incentive to stu
dents, to haYe friends call on special or gen.
sral occasions, and let them know that their
work is appreciated. If the examinations
md closing exercises of our schools public
md priyate-were more generally attended
by patrons and friends, the good effects
would soon be manifest.
Yours. LOGAN.

Camp meeting at Crystal Springs will
begin on Thursday evening, August II,
and may embrace two Sundays.
The committee on public worship have
the promise of several distinguished
preachers from abroad, beside general
invitation being extended to all our
preachers.
The committee on improvement have
in construction extensions of the shed that
will embrace 2400 surface feet.
Improvements to restaurant and sleep
ing tents are also under contract, and
these have been leased to an experienced
caterer for three years, which will give to
the lessee the highset incentive to strive to
give satisfaction to his guests. The price
ofboard,( three meals and lodging) will be
50. Special terms can be made for fam
lilies if made in advance of the meeting.
The public tents-more especially the la
dies sleeping tent-will be under the rig
id restrictions of the committee on police,
which, being made up of men with fami-
lies, will feel itself responsible to the
public to maintain such rules of decOrum
as they would maintain at their private
tents.
railroads to furnish accommodation tick
cts and line of hacks will be in attend
ance to convey visitors to the grounds, one
mile from the depot.
Notwithstanding the meeting being
held in the middle Of August, the cool
air that arises from the crystal fountains
which surround our camps, makes it very
pleasant,
Perhaps q word of explanation of this
self-sustaining system of camp meetings
is in place.
Our people are not less hospitabIe than
of yore, notwithstanding their impover-
ished condition, but the impossibility of
procuring servants, cooks more especially,
precludes the possibility of having a camp
meeting on the old system, without
making slaves of our wives and daughters;
thus expressing and making unhappy our
guests, but by this restausant system We
divide the burdens and each one bearing
his or her own expenses, all feel that
| freedom which continues the basis of that
| high social enjoyment for which this tab
ernscles worship is noted.
| There are many among US who were
once noted for their hospitality whose
whose pride would drive them from unit
ing under the old system because of their
change of ability.
Again. The association having provid,
ed for the comfort of all, may justly de-
mand through its police that at the proper
hour each shall repair to his respective
place and observe that decorum fol-
which our past meetings have been
noted.
We want in our public tents liberal
intersPrinkling of IS live Methodist, that
we and they In our social and religious in
tercourse may dissipate every thought o.
caste, and enjoy that liberal and rein
ed communion that is so productive o.
good in these tabernacle services. Bring
your song books, and come with YOU
hearts prepared to sing, or even shou
Gods praise.

Capt. McMichael, Commissioner o
Revenue for Mississippi, called upon u
this week. Capt. Mem. was appointe,
| by the Governor, under a recent act o
/ the Legislature, as a commissioner Il
examine the books and papers of al
clerks, sheriffs, tax collectors and city
authorities, for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether all the fines, licenses anG
other revenues collected since 1870 have
been fully paid into the State Treasury.
We understand he struck - big bo-
nanza," worth $4,000, a few days ago.
Lucky chap. Three thousand for him
and three for the State - Columbus
Press.
The foregoing illustrates the swindling
character of one of the laws passed by
the last Legislature. 1t is the special
duty of the county treasurers " to exam
inc the books and papers OF all clerks,
sheriffs and tax collectors" for the pUr-
pose OF enforcing the prompt and rigorous
collection and payment into the proper
treasury Of . all fines, licenses and other
revenues, and as a compensation for
their service, the treasurer is allowed
commission of five or three per cent. up
Have county treasurers failed 10 do their
duty? Not unlikely, since majority of
them are Incompetent and wholly ineffi-
cient. But why are not such presented
and made to give way to others who will
do better? No; the policy of radicalism
is to run the government for the benefit
of the office-holder and to allow him his
fees and emoluments in any event, and
then to supplement his inefficiency by the
of a new officer selected
from among the faithful, and paid high
salary.
Three thousand dollars of the peoples
money turned over to Capt. McMichael
for doing what it was the duty Of another
to have done for one or two hundred
If it was just cause of complaint by
our forefathers against the government

offices, and sent hither swarms of officers
to harass our people and eat out their
with equal justice may the people of Mis-
'issippi now arraign their radical rulers
IN the same charge.
Will not our tax-ridden people, on the
lay of the ensuing election, declare their

Incompetent and extravagant rulers =

sweet of breath, pretty, plump and grace
