March 3lst. The large hall was fill
ed with an intelligent audience. Hon
w. I. Wiley was called to preside
over the meeting.
Mr. Wiley prefaccd the opening
exercises with an eloquent plea for
the introduction of music as a part OF
free school instruction. The pro
! gramme consisted of music and short
addresses /; the former vocal and in
strumental, furnished by ladies and
gentlemen mainly selected from the
University and several church choirs
of the town, and led by d. b. Purin-
ton.
The addresses were made hv Rev
a. L. Wade, County Superintendent
Of Free Schools Professor III. L.
Cox, Superintendent of Morgantown
school Prot. +. 5. Lyon, of the Uni.
versity; L. $. Hough, Esq, and Rev
]. c. Jordan. The music was excel
lent, and the addresses were listened
to with marked attention; the re
marks of Messrs. Wade, Cox and Ly-
on were especially instructive and in
teresting, being practical, pertinent
and prcgnent with matter for reflec
ton for all who are interested in the
subject of education.
Mr.. Wade's proclivity for inter
larding his statistics and dry matter
with amusing incidents of his person
al experience met with in his work
and always "hcing reminded of sto-
ry' as each of the speakers conclud-
ed, kept the audience in pleasant ex-
pectancy He says there is no school
in the State doing better or more
thorough work than the Morgantown
school, and our people should be
proud of it and contribute their infu-
ence toward increasing its efficiency
and popularity.

Cold BLooDED MURDER.-Thc colored camp
meeting which has been in progress near Able
Vile since last Friday, ended Tuesday with a
cold blooded murder, in a few yards of the pull
pit Hiram Weems was fatally shot by Lewis
Grant The facts are as follows: About 10
o'clock, Lewis Grant and Hiram Weems were
joking each other, when Grant lost control of his
temper, ran about ten steps from his victim,
about two and half inches above the left eve,
uxprrcd IN ABOUT two hours. After firing, Grant
dropped his oarpet-sack and pistol case, and ran
IN the direction of the court house. The crowd,
which consisted probably of about sevcnty-fye
persons, seemed paralyzcd for the time and let
the fend escape.

Governor Hampton's Speech.

Governor Wade Hampton made an ex-
cellent speech at the Shields guard dinner
at Auburn, N. Y, Wednesday. 1t reads
like the utterance of an honest, earnest
man, with will Of his own, who is deter
mined that his opinions shall be embodied
in acts, If possible. The tone of the speech
is admirable throughout, and Its express
sions with regard to the colored man leave
nothing to be desired. Governor Hampton
said he declared that if elected he "would
be governor of the whole people Of South
Carolina that he should know no race, no
party, no color; that all men who stood on
the soil of South Carolina, native or for
eign born, white or black, should be equal
before the law, and, so help me God, it
shall be done" Governor Hampton stated
that thousands of colored men voted for
him, "knowing that he was the first man
after the war to recommend they should
be given the right of suffrage; and he had
never yet changed his opinion" But a
great change has occurred in public opn-
ion when a conspicuous southern leader
boasts of having recommended negro suf-
frage. Governor Hampton, in his relations
to the colored race of South Carolina,
stands on the same vantage ground as Presi-
dent Hayes for carrying out the conserva-
tive policy with respect to the south. Pres
ident Hayes withdrawal of the troops from
that section, coming as 1t did from the sue
cessful presidential candidate of the re-
publicans, had far more salutary effect,
north and south, than if the order had
emanated from s. j. Tilden at the White
House. For similar reason Wade Hamp-
ton can render the negroes of South Caro-
lima greater service than could his republi-
can predecessor in office; and Hsmpton's
repeated assurances that he has the dispo-
sition to do so must be welcome intelli-
gence to every true friend of the enfrsn-
| chised race in South Carolina.

General Notes.

President Grant, having got away from
school, means to 90 it while the ornaztv,
and see Sweden, Norway, Russia, India
and Japan, 80 the correspondents say. He
is represented as especially pleased with his
reception in England.
The Appalachian mountain of Boston on
Bunker Hill day at the invitation of the
Lexington garden club, held field meeting
on historic ground. They visited the resi-
dence of the president of the club looking at
his Conservatives and collection of ferns. A
delicious lunch was served at the residence
of Hon. F. B. Hayes. Near the house
stands an apple tree most as large as Web.
sters famous elm, the latter standing in an
orchard planted more than one hundred
years ago by the old Rev. Jonas Clark. The
whole party proceeded to Hancock
Heights, belonging to Mr.. Hayes extensive
estate OF nearly 400 acres. The club will
hold field meeting near Fabyan's, at the
White mountains, the last of July.

GLOBE SATURDAY MORNING JUNE % I877

Ate never troubled with such visitations.
London's great fire Is away back towards
the middle ages, in company with the
great plague, which latter, of course,
would be an absolute impossibility in this
age of enlightment. With all the pepper
ing from the Prussians without and petard-
ing by the petroleuses within, Paris refused
to be burned a few years ago. At the
same time Chicago and Boston were fatally
swept by fire. That is where we are unlike
Paris and London, and more like the
squalid quarters Of st. John aud Quebec
and Montreal. The cause lies 10 cheap { p
and unintelligent building, 30 placed as to
be food for the "devourlng element" II
there we're enforced In this country some
thing like the rules for filling spaces be-
tween flooring and Turing and the walls
with plaster or other non-combustible,
there would be of certainty no more gen.
eral' couflagrations here, hardly any fires
extending beyond the rooms in which they
originated. But the Shawmut avenue in
| quest shows that hat we want is not so
much new laws at the rigorous and incor-
ruptible enforcement of those we have. 1t
would seem as though Boston needed no
more practical lessons on the necessity of
looking after this business. -BostOn Tran.
