The Vulcan Iron & Nail works sus-
pended Inst Friday and were thrown in
to bankruptcy, being short $l76006.
OF this sum $4,000 is due the employees
600 in number, who arc SUDDENLY thrown

operated by Hazleton & Harris with r.
I. Stone as manager, and were the larg-
est and most complete works in the South.
Think Of GOO men in such a town as

of its climate, the exceedingly low rates
of tuition, and the cheapness of board
all stand forth to prove, beyond doubt,
that more education can Ne obtained
there at less expense than at any other
point known to us, and if you don't be-
lieve it, come and see.
Two Of the students who have been
attending the Seminary for about three
years (Rev Samuel G. Ketron and Hen
ny f. Ketron) aim to attend college and
graduate, the coming year. Prof. Ket-
ron h3s employed Prof. VIM. F. Ramey
to assist him the next term, which will

In conclusion, we would say to all
young ladies. and gentlemen who wish
to make real men and women of them
selves, and who wish to obtain thor
ough and satisfactory education, so that
they may be thoroughly prepared and
fully equipped for the stern realities Of
life, would do well and find it decidedly
to their advantage to avail themselves of
the opportunities afforded by Kingsley

Tear Down the Bloody Shirt.

The Court Of Inquiry at West Point
has unanimously found cadet Whitaker
guilty of the assault on himself. 1t is
proven beyond doubt he wrote his
own note of warning, cut his own ears.
tied himself, feigned insensibility, and
has lied from the beginning. A few
days ago he denied having citizens
clothing in his room. Search was made
and ii was found. He denied knowing
they were his until his name was found
on them. Thus fades the bloody shirt
intended for this campaign. Thus comes
to light one of the frauds against pros
trate people, of which the Eliza Pink
ston case was noted example. 10 the
poor colored man!

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20. 1880
1t is believed now that Congress will
adjourn on the 10th of June, which is
midway between the two great political
conventions. Except to approve the
Ute agreement, pass the bills restricting
the exercise of authority at elections by
special Deputy Marshals and Supervi-
sors, and pass the Eaton-tariff revision
bill, no general legislation will be COM
ple'ed. The last of the deficiency bills
was reported yesterday to the House,
and is one on which there will be little
debate.
Many radical members of Congress
have left and are leaving for Chicago
The dispatches received here from those
who have gone on are to the effect that
the struggle in the convention will be
The most spirited ever known. The
friends of Grant declare the certainty of
his nomination, and others say that he
cannot be nominated. There is also
great determination among the Blaine
men, and their determination TO cheat
Grant," is seconded by the others
Among Democrats here j find n quite
general belief that Grant will be nomi-
mated and that thereafter the convention
will go to pieces, TO be followed in No
vember by the party itself.
OF the Democratic nomination little
has been said for several days, every
one understanding that events at Chica-
20 will have n great influence on the
Cincinnati selections.
Mr.. Hayes will appoint as members of
the new Board of Indian Commissions
some Of the ablest and best known men
in the ountry.-Good! Don.
