-The proceedings of the meeting held
last Saturday night at Representative Hall
to give expression to the indignation and
horror of our citizens at the attempted as
sassination of President Garfield, are pub
lished elsewhere. The meeting was one of the
most earnest VS. have ever seen. There was
but one sentiment expressed that of intense
indignation at the outrage and great solicit
tude for the life of the President. Chief
Justice Chalmers presided, and in speech
of Fifteen minutes paid beautiful tribute
to the President, spoke feelingly of the loss
the whole country would sustain should
the worst fears be realized. A committee,
of which Judge Harris was chairman, sub
mitted appropriate resolutions; after which
addresses were made by Rev. DIR. Hunter,
Gen. T. J. Wharton and Hon. Jas. Hill.

under whose able management st. Margar-
cts has grown up and become one of Jack
sons most excellent institutions The grad
uating class consisted of four young ladies
Misses Lou and Tabor Morrow, Miss Fannie
Ewing aAd Mss Beulah Ware. Their essays
we're very fine, cissrly demonstrating the
fact that the time they had devoted to
study had been well and faithfully applied
DR.. Tacker, in few ielieitous remaks, de-
Iivered the diplomas to the graduates. The
address Of Hon. W. T. Harris was an able
aud instructive one. Mrs Ware ELL re
open her school in the Fall, aud we doubt
not her energy and ability will be rewarded
by even greater success than she has realized
in the past.
