On Thursday last, Judge Mackey visited
Edgefeld for the purpose Of investigating
the cause of the troubles. The Phenir, of
Sunday, gives the following as the condition
of affairs at the latest advices;
"Dr Barker returned yesterday, from a
visited to Edge6eld Courthouse, and also to
Augusta, Ga, where he had an interview with
General NJ. c. Butler. The General says
that, after the burning of his house, he took
out warrant for the arrest of suspected
colored man, who confessed to being the in
cendiary, but that Ned Tennent had paid him
$50 for doing the job. A warrant was then
issued for Tennent, who refused to be arrested.
This information was conveyed to General
Butler, who asked the Trial Justice what
posse he required. The reply was, that as
Tennent had about fifteen men with him, that
number would be sufficient. A party was Sc
lected bv General Butler, who Immediately
accompanied the officer. Before they discov-
cred the Tennent party, they were fired upon !;
the fire was returned, and several were injur.
ed, but nobody seriously. Tennent and party
then fled. Judge Mackey went to Edgefeld.
issued a warrant, and Tennent was arrested
and lodged in Jail, where he now is. The
Judge also issued a warrant for General But
ler and some parties connected with the at
tempted arrest. Gen. Butler went to Edge
field yesterday, to give himself feeling
satisfied that he had acted within the law.
DIR. Barker reports everything quiet in Edge
field, and that Judge Mackey was to address
the citizens yesterday, at o'clock. Several
colored citizens arrived here yesterday, in a
terrible state of excitement The above is
the substance of the report made by DR.. Bar,
ker to Gov. Chamberlain. The members OF
the Legislature are endeavorng to raise sub
scriptions for those who, it is claimed, were
forced to leave their homes"

THE sHAD NEABIy DONE FORA GOOD DAY 3
WORK WITH DRIFT NET.
Directly in the middle OF the Delaware, from
the mouth of the Christiana up above Duponts
wharf, is Cherry Island Shoa. 1t has formed
within tho last twenty years, quite rapidly, and
is still forming, that now at low tide, it is Of
ton bare. On Thursday, a party OF Brandywne
Hundred fishermen, consisting of Henry Guest,
Bayard Guest, Davis Cloud Joseph Guest, VIM
Gibbons and Emory Weldn, did what they
say has never been done before-they
spread a draw seine, from off the bar,
and hauled it in there, they standing in the
sloal water, about four inches deep. 10 the
craft who went by, up and down the river, they
seemed to be walking in the midst OF the Della
ware as indeed. they were and excited no lit
f!e curiosity. There was 20 feet of water, at
high tide, on this bar, Henry Guest says, when
he began to fish over it, twenty years ago, and
now, at high tide, there are but six feet. They
found good footing on it OF solid sand, and
made a good haul. chiefly rock, herring and
white perch.
The shad season is now almost over. 1t VIII

llIk cIusISd ExERcIsEs YEsTERDAY-rwo GRAD
uATEs.
Yesterday afternoon, large number of
friends assembled in the hall OF the Normal
School to witness the closing exercises of the
students. Tho exercises were varied, consisting
Of cloruses by different classes of students,
which we're rendered in lively manner, show
ing the proficiency they had attained under
Prof p. Allen.
E.eays on Emusic" by Miss Mary II. Wright,
aud " Importance OF Education' by Mr.. David
b. Wilson, were read in a clear, distinct voice,
and showed depth of thought that ia not often
evinced BY students. An instrumental solo by
otto Becker and a vocal solo by John Ii. Braun
siein were well executed. Reoitations by Willie
A, Wisdom, John II. Braunstein. Ulysses s.
plerson and Thomas Benson were delivered with
emphasis and accuracy especially 1.-THE Last
Lpck," by w. a. Wisdom WAS exceedingly we'll
spoken aud showed real oratorical power.
Compositions were read by Misses Sallie Eg-
linton. Alice Hersey, Emma q. Chandler, Olive
Il. Pierson and Melissa Valentine. These being
their ordinary school productions, showed quite
a proficiency in composition, and the reading of
them was marked with attention.
Mrs May @. Primrose gave select reading
which was attentivey listened to. A Dialogue,
"Anniversafy of tho Anti Park Society,"" by
eight young gentlemen, who performed their
parts we'll pleased the audience. An acting
tilarade by three gentlemen and three ladies
WAS the means of creating rounds of laughter,
and WAS decidedly one of the best of the after
noon.
At this point the exercises for the degree OF
A, d. T., began and Mr.. X. Il. blay came to
the front and recited hIs original essay on Cor
poral Punishment with good effect both in de-
Ivory and composition. Miss Hattie 5. Gookin
read an essay on Mental Cultivation. This was
particularly good effort and the clear voice of
lta reader was audible all over tho room.

From an Occasional Correspondent.
NEWARK, May 2S.
Hoping your readers are ever interested In
Public Schools, we take pleasure in informing
them that Newark has, to- day, been favored
with the presence Of our worthy Superintendent,
Mr.. J. H. Groves, on his round of inspection and
examination. The upper apartment of school
No, Al having been newly and handsomely fur
nished, preparatory to the opening of the Gram
mar School in September next, was thrown open
to his reception. By 10 A. M. might have been
been seen fifteen anxious. earnest workers. in
tent on solving the problems presented by the
Superintendent with clearness and concseness.
And while they bent with unfagging energy to
their task they were encouraged not only by the
genial smile Of their presiding officer, but by the
presence of number of the citizens, and mem
bers Of the very excellent School Board which
has supervision of the united districts, SO
and Al. At 70, NJ, by request of Rev. j.
cses were suspended for short time,
while the Superintendent and applicants
were invited to the Deer Park, where an excel
lent repast had been provided through the
thoughtfulness and generosity of the Board. At
IL. 45 the exercises were resumed and continued
until p. M. when the applicants were dismiss
ed. We congratulate Delaware upon the selec-
tion Of Mr.. Groves. Being 80 small in her di-
mensions, it has often been subject of thought
why she has been the home of 30 many distin-
guished, honorable men, among whom We now
rank our new Superintendent. May his efforts
ever be crowned with success E. P.

MIR. Evarts' speech.

He SPEAKS THROUGHOUT YESTERDAY, AND THe
COURT ADJoURNs TO MoNDAY-THE GREATEST
AUDIENCE, YET, AND INTENSE INTEREST.
Mr. Eyarts spoke during both sessions, yester
day, and will continue ON Monday. The Court
room WAS crowded until there were twice as
many in it as ought to be, as the Judge put it,
and every one was inconvenienced thereby.
Mr.. Evarts obtained, especially during tie
morning session, more complete command over
all his hearers yesterday than on Thursday. At
times he abandoned his deliberate method of
that he had not before shown, and the
audience followed him with intent looks, and
in perfect silence, leaning forward in
order to see the gestures and facial
expires sions of the orator, which were COM
mented upon as wonderfully appropriate and
effective The members of the Plymouth dele
CATION, who were present in full force, appeared
to be especially interested in the argument
They smiled when the orator smiled, and looked
sternly at Mr.. Tilton when the orator stigma
tized his acts or his words. By frequent nod
dings, whisperings, and admiring looks, they In
dicated their qualification.
One Of the most telling portions Of the speech
of Mr.. Evarts yesterday was partly addressed to
Mr.. Tilton. He had been explaining the con-
tumey which has always attached to the hus-
band.of an adulteress, as illustrated by the
meaning Of the English words which describe
such a man, and the severity of the Roman law
affecting such persons. The argument Of the or
ator was that there was a moral improbability
of the highest sort that Theodore Tilton had
suffered this disgrace in his family. Turn
ming toward Mr.. Tilton, he said,
slowly, and almost in tones of re-
buke, while the audience listened in dead si-
lence, and Mr. Tilton's face flushed very red,
"How do you dare to say as you do say and l
think truthfully-I certainly hope truthfully for
your character-that until July you had no
doubt no fear, or thought, or suspicion, in re-
gard to the intercourse Of Mr.. Beeoher with
your family--how can you Say that and not feel
tha4you have forced yourself into the dilemma
of choosing whether you take the contumely of
the English opprobrium, Tor the dark stain of the
Roman condemnation"

The disaster at Holyoke was even worse than
tho first reports presented The latest de-
spatchcs bring the death roll up to one hundred
and twenty, and it is thought that many others
sill succumb to their injuries. The scenes and
,ncidents are narrowing in the extreme, and are
only relieved by tho heroic daring of the brave
men who came to the rescue of the burning mass
o. humanity. Ono cause of the awful loss OF
NE WAS the fact that the doors OF the church,
lika those of most edifces, opened inward,
which olIectually prevented the escape of the

them, notwithstanding the efforts Of some OF
