HARTFORD COLLEGE.


The opening exercises of the Hart
ford College took place Tuesday even
ing, sept. 9Th, 1850.
The handsome building was illumin-
atcd throughout, and was deuScly
crowded 10y the citizens of Hartford,
old and young, with many people from
abroad.
The Hon. =. T.. Hill opened the eX-
crcisrs 10y ii few well chosen words,
expressing the pride felt 10y the Trustees
and friends of education at the success
ful inauguration of the Hartford College.
lie was followed 10y Prof. Wayland
Alexander, who has charge OF the Col
legc, in an excellent address on the sub
iec, of Education.
Mr.. Ferguson, of Muhlcnb2rg county,
followed with an oration Oh "Shalls-
pcare.'
Hon. y. :. Berry, State Senator, from
Newport, Ky, followed in an address
enthusiastic, eloquent and logical. We
would bc glad to give il in full. He
favored NJ: only public education but
compulsory education. lie met and
demolished all ignorant and miscon-
ceived objections to pInlIar educ Itipn.
He shovel thu nations uncducIted

and that il was cheaper to seize hold of
vicious, idle boy and PIT him in
school thtn to allow him to run in
vicious courses to the Jail AMI phniten-
tiary to he maintained 10y the public.
Dcpartin. from the usual didactic,
scientific commencement Grafton, he
delivered Il practical address, bristling
with facts, full of the fire of belief and
Just such an address as was needed in
this section of the State. Oar people
commended the effort with unStinted
praise.
The exercises were appreciated 10y
all and our people left the hall proud oI

The Provoke Law.

The last Legislature of Kentucky en-
acted law making il Il miStlemeanor
for amy one To Use abusive or insulting
language with the intent To insult
another or to provoke ii breach of the
peace. The penalty for violation of
this law is fixed at ii fine of not exceed
ing twenty dollars, except where the
offender is "a male and the other party IL
female; then the penalty is fixed at II
fine of not exceeding fifty dollars.
Our object is to call public attention
To this law. IL the courts will rigidly
enforce this law many serious difficult
ties and aflrays will be avoided. Not
unfrequently insulting and abusive lam
guage is the cause of killing. Then
comes an indictment for murder, with
all the delays and expenses of Il trial,
which generally results in an acquittal,
depicting the State Treasury, which
must he replenished from the pockets
of the people. Let the courts rigidly
enforce the provoke law, let all good
citizens endorse and approve it, and we
will see that the number of breaches of
the peace will diminish. There are not
a few who hold that if A insults and
abuses B IT'LL forbearance ceases to be a
virtue" then B is entirely justifiable in
"breaching the peace" and giving A
such chastisement as will insure his
behavior i'm the future.

Hon. Albert :. Berry.

The people of Hartford, at the open
ing exercises of Hartford College on
Tuesday night of last week, had the OPP
portunity of listening to a lecture from
the Hon. Albert ;. Berry, of Newport,
Ky. He took bold, advanced grounds,
not only in favor Of popular education,
but in favor of compulsory education.
Well fortified by statistics and the les
SONS taught by history, he made Il strong
argument in defence of his position.
His address made a decided impression
in our community, and large number
of our people will strike hands with
him and fight for compulsory popular
education. To say that he delivered (;
good address would be putting it
mild"
In regard to educational matters he
is both aggressive and progressive. w,
need man a. Superintendent of Public
instruction who is active, strongly I'M
pressed with the necessity of popular
education, and who will give vigor and
life to our languishing common school
system. The citizens of this commu-
nifty feel that they are indebted TO Albert
>. Berry, and we hope the time will
come when we can repay him.
A noble champion in a noble cause
we bid him God-spced and wish him
success.

Thai Green Briar Speech.

'+Reports have come to this town that
on Sunday, August 18th. AT Green Briar
Church, in Davies county, Rev. J. NJ.
Peay INDUCED in wholesale abuse and
villification of this town. We mention
this that the gentleman may deny it if
the report is false. Ii the report rs to
what he said is true, then we will have
Il right to treat the gentlemen as he
deserves. In justice to himself he ought
to deny the report if il is not true. -

We find the above editorial i'm the
HERALD of the Sth inst. We had
thought the HERALD had had expe-
Renee enough in "Mulhattan reports"
to lead it to investigate damaging ru-
mors before heralding them abroad i'm
its columns. Its editorials i'm the few
months past certainly have indicated as
much. But we must believe that the
editor has been hasty i'm this matter,
for We cannot believe that with the
facts before him he could have been so
splenetic toward us as to have given cur
rency to said reports.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1880-09-15

True, we were at Green Bricr church,
in Davies county, Ky, at the time
specified, having been requested 10y the
Musical Convention, that met there on
principal of our school, whom they had
invitcd to deliver IN address to them at
II o'clock \. NJ, on Sunday, which hc
did. At the close of said address
we made or rUiHoHs SPEECH. We
first showed what education WIS (;
then how To obtain it; then
we presented the claims of South Car
rollton Institute. We spoke of our
town aS one of the most moral, most
accessible, and cheapest places in which
to live in the whole country. We told
the people who our principal is; that
he graduated in Asbury University at
Grccncastle, Ind; that he is Il fine elias
successful teacher in the best in
situations i'll the country for fifteen
years, and that with the able
faculty he had, our success was assured.
We then spoke Of the moral character
of our teachers, and closed by telling
the people that if we did not offer them
better inducements than other places,
to 90 where they could do better.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we thought we had
the right to say all this, and that, too,
without anybody demurring.
Allow us further to state that We did
not so much az mention Hartford; no,
not once. Nor did we mention its peo-
pie, its school, or its teachers. The re-
ports that we "abused or villified" Hart
ford people will he news to that large
and intelligent audience. No man
could have told from our speech that
sucha town rs Hartford was in existence,
or that it ever had Il school, OF ever cx-
pectcd to have
We claim the title rather sarcastically
given us in the above editorial we
claim to he "a gentleman" Hence we
have never "abused or vilified" any
person, people, sect or party in any
| speech, address or sermon that we have
ever delivered. this is not our style; it
is not the style of II gentleman. WedO
not propose to succeed 10y dishonorable
means. Our school is still Il success
entirely so-and We feel that it is tie
servedly, and not dishOnorably so.
In conclusion permit us to say that
the reports to which you refer are but
base falsiiications, manufactured for Il
purpose 10y whoever originated them,
and that we could prove their falsity by
scores of the best citizens of Davies
county were it necessary.
Yours respectfully,

IT was right funny when Judge Cook
was giving the financial policy of the
Republican party particular fits, show
ing the extravaganza and ruin pro-
duced thereby, to see the rank and file
of that party applauding it, and yet
they will go on at November and vote
for the same old policy just the same.

He run short of funds, the enterprise

editorial with startling head lines "Foul

create the impression that Waldo was
murdered because he was publishing II

Commercial knows, if ii knows any,
thing, that a man can edit Republic
can paper in Kentucky with as much
safety as he can any other sort, and yet
1t republished the Recorder article re-
ferred to. This is IA fair sample of all

Facts for t;reenbackers.

Four years ago that venerable and
distinguished statesman, Peter Cooper,
of New York, was the Greenback can
diiate for President; the eloquent SAM
uel +. Carey, of Ohio, was the candidate
for Nice-President on the same ticket:
Iendrick b. Wright, the wheel horse
of the Grecnhackers of Pennsylvania,
was the candidate of the party for
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. Now, these three men stand
upon Il platform side by side with Gen.
Butler, another great apostle of the
Greenbackers. There are three reasons
for this. One is the absolute certainty
that there is no hope of electing Gen.
Weaver; another is there is great dam
ger of the Republican party in the event
of their success centralizing the power
of the Government and taking away
from the people the supremacy they
now enjoy; or, in other words, of multi
flying the popular will. The third reason
is that the financial condition of this
Government has made such marked
and rapid improvement under Demo-
cratic legislation in the past that there
can only be a continuation of prosperity
by continuing that party i'm power. The
Republican policy would at once con-
tract the currency, and q change W ould
therefore be fatal to the best interests of
the -EIi-d6ethtOun Neps.
