Eight years General fron,
1869 to 1873,

The Commencement Of the Girls
Department of the Wilmington High
School, in the Grand Opera House. last
1ight, was happy and successful af.
zAir. gratifying in the highest degree to
AZ who were present, and especially so
to those who had labored for the nd,
vancement Of our public schools to the
high grade they have attained.
The essays of the students were very
9eods and perhaps would have been still
better had 1t been understood earlier
that commencement would have taken
place this year. 1t is the first effort of
this kind and was not determined upon
until recently.
The auditorium of the Temple was
crowded with brilliant audience while
the pupils on the stage and the beauti.
1ul scenery and floral decorations gave
to the House the appearance Of fairy
palace.
The addresses by Reva. Messrs. Israel
and Latlmer were appropriate and well
expressed, and the address Of Colonel
Whteley in presenting the diplomas per.
tinent and excellent.

Negto or Niger,

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
People here say 'nigger.'"
From this it would seem that the mis-
take is not confined to the Southern
States, if indeed, it be mistake. 1t is
certainly nearer the classical standard
than negro, and with the omission of
one 6. would be the genuine Latin word
nigger. The being short in Niger, the
double makes the pronunciation in
English identical with its Latin original,
and possibly owes its introduction to
that fact.
But after all. the word is only design.
ed to define n color-black-and the op-
posite of lchite; and among the genuine
Africans of the West Indies is in much
higher repute than the word "colored,"
which they apply in scorn and contempt
to mulattoes, by brids, bastards and 9th.
er inferior breeds. Ono of the blacklist
members of the last legislature of Vir.

out that Loader and Price are peYjured
conspirators. Both have made confess
sions and are in Jail. The excitement in
Brooklyn is running high, and it is said
that Moulton, Tilton and Dana are to be

rested Loader stated that "he had never
said that he had ever seen anything i'm.

The Great Rifle Contest.
Overwhelming OUatson to the American
Team,

DUBLIN, June 30-The internation-
al rifle match, yesterday, was ore of
the finest exhibitions of marksmanship
ever witnessed. The shooting of Dakin
and Gildersleeve, of theAme icln tea N,
and James Wilson, OF the lllsh team,
especially being very fine, the former
making total score oil 1O4 each, and
Wilson 1G3. Toward the close of the
shooting the weather became unfavor-
able, the sky being heavy with clouds
and threatening rain. Alter ID. !. match
was concluded Gildersleeve aud Leech,
captains of the respective teams, were
congratulated on tue discipline Of their
teams. Among the first to congratulate
the Americans were leech and the
members of the Irish team, who ex-
pressed entire satisfaction with the
fairness with which the match was
conducted. Great cordiality was shown
the Americans by every body. Many
distinguished guests attended the ban
Quet given them at the Lord Mayors
residence last night,
DUBLIN June 81. The scene at Dol.
lymount will berememberedf for years.
Flags and banners adorned the route
TO Clontarf. When the respective
teams took position for the concluding
range, the enthusiastic crowd was SO
demonstrative that it was difficult to
keep the ground clear for the firing.
Thousands of spectators thronged
around the barriers erected to keep the
crowd back,-The pressure was so
great that the barriers in some places
gave way.
Colonel Mitchell, member Of the
Irish Rife Association, urged the
crowd to keep back, saying that the
Americans had come $500 miles to win
the match, ,and only wanted three yards
space to do it. AT the conclusion of
the shooting the enthusiasm was SO
great that the spectators would have
seized the Americans and carried them
off bodily in triumph had not the police
prevented their embraces. The Amer
leans return from the shooting grounds
to Dublin. AT the Lord Mayors ban
quet Gildersleeve responded to COM
plimentary toast, in which he praised
the shooting of the Irish team and said
the present contest would cement more
stronglythe sympathyexisting between
the two countries. The official scores
announce: Americans, 967 Irish,
929.

Social Condition OF rexas.

There is everything in having a good
and reliable witness, when you need
clear and substantial testimony toyeur
general reputation and good character.
Now we have for years been telling
those who are fond OF ,naligning
Texas and Texans, that no more quiet
and pcaceahle citizens can, rs n gener-
al thing, be found IN any State in the
Union than those of Texas, aud all
things considered, we believe that
there are few States that can compare
| with ours for good order and quiet
| we have terrible occurrences some
times, hut only such as the frontier IL
liable TO, and II Is very seldom that
there are murderous ailiays aud law
defying outbreaks among Us, that are
not confined to class of men who are
always to be foudd on the border. Some
OF the Older States in the West are
much mere given to defiance of law
and bloody outrages than Texas has
ever been, and in the Eastern States
there are peculiar crimes and atroci.
ties OF frequent occurrence entirely un.
known among us. In conversation
with Hon. John III. Reagan, few
days since, correspondent informs us
he was told by that distinguished gen.
tleman that he had just returned from
u long tour over the State; that he had
made fourteen public speeches to large
numbers OF his fellow-citizens, five OF
his addresses being ut barbecues, and
IN I'LL the time he had been travelling,
and at all the public gatherings he had
attended, he had not seen one drunken
man, or heard a single quarrel. With

the present condition of our case, for
