chized, which repeated the Lords
Prayer and the Apostles Creed. A
great deal was said and done by the
scholars in the short space OF ninety
minutes. Other speeches were de-
livered by brothers Turner, Craig
and Stack. Brother Craig's speech
will long be remembered for its
beauty and the good lessons evolved.
Everybody went home well pleased
and will, no doubt, be glad to have
another just like it next year. The

WHO Is THE GUILTY ONE!

The Louisville Commercial still
give its attention occasionally to
Tennessee affairs, and under the
preteXt of dealing with the question
ofrepudiatiOn, whips the Democratic
party feTOciOusly over theshOulders
OfTennessee. We have unfortunate
lymislaid copy ofthat paper, which
was handed tOUs by friend, but this
substantially was the state of things
described as existing in Tennessee.
The Democratic party is repre-
sented as universally stepped in the
heresy of reputation, a few faith
full only holding alOOf, from the gem
eral detection; these latter are re-
presented as likely to form cOali-
ton with the Republican party in
Tennessee (Which is unanimously
sound on the matter of State credit)
and thus form new party which is
to redeem the State from the slough
of corruption into which it must
otherwise fall, pay the debt, rule the
State and live forever happy after
wards.
Now if all this had been stated in
Tennessee, the notorious fllsehoOd
of all its allegations would have
been too glaring to need a reply, but
these assertions are not addressed to
Tennesseeans, or intended to infiu-
ence them, they are simply designed
to produce an effect outside of the
State, and to throw obloquy on the
Democracy in general by producing
the impression that reputation is a
Democratic measure opposed by the
Republican party who are alone the
champions of financial integrity.
In the interest then of the Dem
Ocratic party in general, we de-
nounce the whole as a tissue of mis-
representation, without enquiring
whether it is the result of wilful
falsehood or an ignorance almost
equally disgraceful in one, who I'M
dertakes to give correct information
to his readers.
Down to the date of the State
convention of last summer, we adj
NIT that the Republican party in
Tennessee had, at least in its public
manifestations, been the advocate
of strict integrity in paying the State
debt. So had the Democratic party
but in the conventions of 1876,
while the Democratic party renew
ed its declarations in favor of State
Credit, the Republican party alters
strong debate on the subject refused
to do so-the pretext AT the time
FOR that refusal, was that such q de-

The May-day Sunday School Picnic
that L was at.

A new church has been erected
near place vulgarly known as
"Mare Lick :" it is not called Mare
Lick, but Brewers Chapel, for Rev.
Sterling Brewer, George w. Stack,
Esq, is superintendent Of Sunday
School established at that place. A
good superintendent is he, full of
wisdom and well qualified. The
10Th day of May was devoted to the
children. The people directly and
indirectly interested, and people
who cared for none of these things,
met with the school and made the
day very interesting, and the as
semblage was larger than anticipa-
ted. There was a long plank table,
and upon it was spread in rich pro-
fusion every variety of eatableS,
from barbecue to pickles. There
was every variety of eater from the
dog up to the old man and old wO-
man. Babies were there with their
nurses, easy people with their bug
gies, busy people with their spring
wagons, and right-minded people
with wagons minus springs. Young
men were there with their sweet
hearts, young men with their young
wives, and, perhaps, the finest baby
in the world, and also young men
hunting these things. The woods
were filled with horses and mules
with side-saddles and twO-sided sad
dies on their backs, and there were
people there that came not on horse
or mule, or Wagon without springs,
or Wagon with springs, or buggy.
They came in great companies and
alone. There were men there who
left their wives at home (the ras-
Gals y, and women who left their
husbands at home (Which thing
takes place only now and then.
Doctors were there, preachers were
there, and the school teacher would
have been there if he had not acted
the goose and gone fishing. Well,
what l want to say is that there
were a great many people full of
fun, full of joy, full of good humor,
full of peace, full Of sadness, full of
full of faith and full of
There was much
greeting and happiness was
in every face.
The scholars went through their
part of the programme beautifully.
Songs were sung, essays were read,
speeches were acclaimed, dialogues

MORE ABOUT HOBART PASHA.

In our blockade running article Of
last week we related the personal
intercourse we had had with this
now much talked of gentleman.
We propose now to state what is
known of him apart from our own
experience.
This now well known naval officer
is the Hon. Charles Augustus HO-
bart, son of the sixth Earl of Buck
inghamshire. He was born in 1922
and entered the British navy in
early life. BY the commencement
of our civil war he had attained the
RAM of Captain and was on the re-
tired list on half pay. During the
war he was engaged in blockade
running chiefly in command of the
Don, but sailing on several vessels,
the Falcon among others, on which
we meth him. Many erroneous state
ments are made in reference to this
period of his life-amOng others,
that he was, employed by the Brit
ish Government on this service. So
far was this from being the case that
he thought it necessary to adopt the
pseudOnym of Captain Roberts to
avoid the notice of the Lords of the
Admiralty. On the other hand it is
not true that he was discharged from
the Navy for his blOckade-running
practices, this was done on another
account as will soon be seen. The
truth is that Capt. Hobart went into
the blockade-running business to
make money as other men did-and
hemade 1.-THE himself informed us
that in a little less than eight months
he made 100000, or in American
currency a trifie under 100000.
Soon after our war was over a re-
bellion broke out in Crete against
the Turkish gOvernment-the Greek
government furnished the inSurg-
ents with arms and the Turkish
navy, OpreYent this, blockaded the
coast, and Capt. Hobart was offered
a commission in the Turkish navy
expressly to command the blOckad-
ing fleet, it having been supposed
that his experience in American wa
tiers had rendered him familiar with
the ways of blockade runners
acting on the proverbial precept
"Set a thief to catch thief" His
good conduct and great success in
this service induced the Porte to
make him Chief of the
Turkish navy. 1t was while en-
gagged in this blockading service,
that his name was dropped from the
rolls of the British navy his employ
ment in the Turkish feet having
been formally complained of by the
Greek government.
In 1874 he addressed letter to the
Earl of Derby requesting reinstate-
ment in the British navy; the Earl
supported the application and he
was raised to his former rank as
Captain; but after war broke out
the matter was discussed in the
House of Commons, and it was de-
cided improper for an officer in the
British navy to be actively engaged
in war with a power with which the
British government was at peace.
and Hobart again ceased to hold a
commission in the Navy of great |
Britain.

DIR. BAIRD'S CASE.
Action of the Southern Presbyterian
General Assembly.
New Orleans Picayune, May 26.

New Orleans Picayune, May 26.
The special order, the report of the
Committee on Publication, was ta-
ken up.
Rev. DIR. WEIGH obtained the floor,
and said the entire difficulty arose
from Over-cOnfidence placed in the
Secretary of the Publication Com
mittee. He believed that books
should be, as they always have
been, published by contract. In re-
gard to the committee he said: 81
never have, nor can / find it in my
heart to say anything in diSapprO-
baton of the noble men on that
committee. They have done no.
BILE work; they have done great
things towards advancing the dear
cause of our church and are entitled
to the gratitude of this General As
sembly." In answer to Col. Billups,
he said that the clause respecting
the sale of the Publishing House
was framed to read, "to be sold, I'M
less the requisite funds are in a GER
tain time obtained to liquidate the
debt" because the building should
not be sacrificed, 1T will be worth
in good times $4,000, sum largely
in excess of the debt now hanging
over the committee.
Rev. DR.. HOge moved that COM
mittee of three of the best business
men in the Assembly be appointed
to go to Richmond and investigate
the accounts of the Executive Com
mittee on Publication. He stated
that he made the motion on account
of the general ignorance regarding
the state of the accounts of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Kennedy next occupied the
floor, speaking at great length in
opposition to the committee. He
did not censure the members of the
Executive Committee, except for
their negligence in investigating the
actions of the Secretary of the COM
mittee, to whom everything had
been cOnfided by the committee.
He hoped that the Synod of Vir-
ginia, to whom the Secretary, DIR.
Z. T. Baird, had appealed, would
deal leniently with him, and throw
the mantle of charity over his mis-
conduct, and that dereliction of
duty, of which he had been guilty.
He felt satisfied that this would be
done. He did not reprOach the Sec
rotary or any member of the Exec
utive Committee on Publication.
They are all men of probity and the
highest standing both in the Church
and in society. He regretted that
previous assemblies had not APP
pointed a committee ofinvestigatiOn
to inquire into the proceedings of
the Executive Committee, for the
purpose of ascertaining the exact
State of affairs, and see how much
money was expended.
Gen. Prince considered that as the
conducting of the Publication House
was a purely business undertaking,
it should be treated in business
manner. 1t was a seperate and dis
tinct matter from the church. He
wanted the house sold, as he could
not see the use in keeping it, as the
books are to be printed by contract.
The debate was continued by sew
eral members of the Assembly, and
the report was finally adopted.

A SAD DEATH.-Miss Sophie
Henderson, only daughter of ex-
Gov. J. w. Henderson, and the
heroine of the late adventure of
herself and father when lost in the
woods, died in Houston on the 18th
ult. Referring to her a Ecorres-
pondent of the Galveston News
says: "This young lady was fair
representative of the beauty and in
tefligence of the city of Houston,
and was the idol of large and
select circle of admiring friends.
The sad sequel to romantic occur
renee now remains to be told. The
privations and excitement while
lost in the forest for two days with
out food brought on an attack of
brain fever of which she expired
yesterday morning at I o'clock.
