- The Presidential contest is one
week nearer ii solution than when our
paper was last printed; but what that
solution is. is yet unknown. The Dem
ocratS do not relish the official count in
South Carolina, which gives the state
to Hayes, and through the supreme
court, are making all the trouble they
can. The Democrats begin to feel that
Florida and Louisiana are going back

forlorn hope, the Oregon Republican

ton is finally settled, there will be a
fight over the silver question, ii contest
of great moment, involving vast inter
ests, while, on the other hand there will
be supplementary legislation for carry
ing the resumption law into effect.
Again there will doubtless be introduced
a bill to elect the President by the
popular vote, the present condition OF
the question having prepared the coun-
try and Congress for an emphatic adieu
to the old system. Our local social,

The THIRD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ENTERTAINMENT. = The entertainment
given at and by the Third Presbyterian
Church last night was very pleasant
affair. The house was filled by an APP
preciative audience. The programme
consisted in music, both vocal and instru-
mental, Rotations, dialogues, &c. The
opening chorus by Miss Devine's Sunday
School class was rendered in fine style
and was well received. This was follow
ed by a defamation by Miss Lille Kirk,
who ELECTED great deal OF praise. Next
was recitation by Alice Steen, after
which the choir OF the Second Presby-
terrain Church, which had volunteered its
services to assist in the concert, redered
some very sweet music. In fact the whole
programme was well selected and rem
dered in very complimentary manner.
We have not time nor space to mention
each individual performer, as we would
like to do. Suffice it to say that the en-
tertainment was success, and that the
same programme will be repeated this
evening. IA

~ respectfully call your attention tc
the fact that the colored school has nc

the building, the old boards were
taken of, and the foundation, plas
ter for the new boards was pu
on, but it was not in readiness to receive
the stating ut the time the Seventh Ware
boards were completed. From this cause
the school is hindered in its work. The
steps leading up to the building are in
q dilapidated condition, and in places
unsafe. The roof OF the building needs
repairing, us every time it rains the
water comes through in several places
occasioning inconvenience to occupants
and injury to the building. would
therefore recommend that these matters
be referred to the Commissioners Of Mad
ison sub-district, with authority to make
the necessary repairs"
The report was adopted, and the recon-
mendations contained in it referred Ia
the Commissioners of Madison district
with power to act.
