The closing exercises of the Waynesboro
Female Institute, J. H. Hobgood, Princi-
pal, and Mrs ]. H. Hobgood, Teacher Of
music. French, and drawing, was inaugu-
rated Tuesday, June 18th. and Wednes-
day. June 18th. by a public oral examina-
ton of pupils in English grammar, an
cient history, elocution. physical geogra-
ply, &C., &c. These examinations were
very rigid and thorough. and the young
ladies without exception showed marked
proficiency in each branch. The eloeution
was particularly good, and the classes in
English grammar and geography did es-
pecially well.
Prof. Hpbyood unfortunately was suf-
ferina with q severe attack of neuralgia
both days, and could not 90 further With
the examinations. He Was compelled to
leave unit ouched the larger and a very i'm
portant part of the course.
On Wednesday evening the public were
favored with an address by the Rev J. T.

the true eloquence and sound reasoning
displayed by the distinguished orator.
On Thursday evening, the neat and
tasty new opera house: kindly rendered by
the owner. Mr.. L. F. Huff, for this occa-
sion, was ''jammed'' to witness the finale.
The exercises consisted principally of
piano solos and duets, interspersed with
vocal pieces, defamation and reading
The object was to show what each student
could do, rather than merely entertain the
audience by few selected and we'll pre-
pared pieces. And when 1t is remembered
that at the commencement of this session
but one scholar In the school knew a sim
gle note. the exercises reflected the high
est credit on Mrs. Hobgood's skill as
teacher and the industry of the students.
The exercises closed with a beautiful lit
tie after piece, after which the Principal
babe his scholars an affectionate farewell
and dismissed them, to. forget for two
months the intricacies of Euclid and the
brain disturbing French exercise.

Political Notes.

Hon. Abe Fulkerson is out in letter to
Judge D C. Miller ct Marion, defining his
position. He wants to support Arthur
Administration but is opposed to carrying
the Readjuster party into either of the two
national parties. OF the origin of the di-
visions that are now rending the Ma
hone party in the State, he gives the fol-
lowing account:
The caucus rule, out of which all our
unfortunate family troubles have grown,
the commissioners sale bill. the judiciary
bill, and Danville railroad bill, were never
issues before the people, and were in no
sense party measures, and about which
individual members of the party did and
had the right to think and act as to them
seemed BEST without making themselves
liable to the charge of disloyalty to the
party.
The caucus is not the party. 1t can bind
its own members who voluntarily 90 into
it. but it cannot bind the party except in
those political matters covered by the plat
form of the party or acted upon by the party
at the polls. Much confusion and trouble
have arisen in our party by the assumption
that Individual members of our party, act
ing with or without the caucus, had the
right to bind and control the party. If We
would have peace. harmony and success,
we must recognize the fact that the peo-
pie rule, and that they only express their
will through the conventions or at the
polls.
1 have been Iaboring in tho cause of re-
adjustment from its inception, and l car
not afford to see it fall now.
Those who come into the party for spoils
or power may be willing to barter it's prin-
ciples and sell out the party to further
their own selfish ends. AS for myself, |
will stand by the party and its principles
to the end. let the consequences be what
they may

An Open Letter.
GREAT VALUE FROM PARTIES
OF THE HIGHEST STANDING.

When the people of America become SO
thoroughly aroused, and on a subject of
such serious Importance as the preserva-
tion of their lives and health, it is but nat
ural that the ones who have been largely
instrumental in the origin of this move
ment should speak frankly and directly to
the people most interested. Il is for this
reason that we thus come before the pub
lie and make the following revelations.
Every careful observer who has sought
to keep pace with the march of events
has noted the alarming increase of certain
peculiar physical troubles within the past
few years. These troubles have come al
unexpected moments and in a most treach-
erous way. They have manifested them
selves in innumerable ferns, but they have
always had the same cause. They have not
afflicted the minor parts Of the body, but
have gone direct to the stronghOlds Of the
system and their work has usually been as
prompt as it is fatal. Their treacherous
and deceptive nature has often prevented
a careful analysis Of what causes them,
and as result, intense suffering and final
disaster have usually ensued. The real
cause, however. has been arrangement Of
tbs kidneys and all Of these troubles are,

The average struck OF the above ages

indeed very remarkable; in fact at this av-

industry from the same community: ia

Like crow, white Republicans? Here
is dish Of it for you to swallow with Jno.
S. Wise, if you can stand it. 1t is an ex-
tract from letter resurrected by the
Charlottesville Jetersonian, written by
John s. Wise, March oath, 1881:
'sThe great bulk of the Republican par
ty here hitherto has been negroes A large
portion of the white Republican vote in
Virginia hitherto has been made up Of
men who we're not Republicans from prin-
ciple, but as a matter of trade aud barter;
men without character and influence:
apostates for the price OF their apostacy
men in the community who would starve
without office, who became Republicans
for office, and whose tenure of office not
only added no strength to their party, but
brought it into disrepute and turned re-
spectacle men away from it,"
"Why, sir, the white Republican in Vir-
ginia does not want any accession to the
ranks of his party. Triumph is the last
thought of his mind. The place is bis
whole object. Martyrdom sotthed by re-
ward is the whole philosophy of his poll
tics. Tho moment his party becomes large
enough to win victory, his chances will
be diminished, and he will lose all interest
in the matter. He does not wish the Re-
publican party to conciliate, to recruit or
augment its following. His is close
corporation, with just enough Offices to
supply its members. Compared with that
pleasant arrangement. which is preserved
by the past policy Of sectional bitterness
national fraternity, national prosperity
aye, the triumph OF the national Republic
can party-is nothing whatever to him. y
How many white Republicans will swal-
low this highly seasoned dish of crow2
A chrome will be presented any man
who produces such language ever used by
old man Massey about the Democratic par
ty or any single out section of it.

The Richmond v hiq of last week speaks
of Ex-Auditor Massey as THAT miserable
old political tramp" The parson has run
down sadly since June 8th, Ss1, when the
Wing said:
We have hitherto referred to Mr.. Mas
sey's graceful and patriotic course in the
Convention to secure 4 harmonious accep-
lance of the nomination of Col. Cameron
when his own nomination was defeated
Il was truly a noble spirit which impclled
him to forget his own disappointment in
that moment Of excitement and passion,
and to remember nothing but the great
cause for which he had long manifested
uutiriig zeal and limitless devotion. Not
only was his course in that crisis Grand,
but his eloquent spe 4ch was equal to tho
highest demands of the occasion, and pen
etrated the vast ASSEMBLY, before him with
its convincing and persuasive power. New
er before had Mr.. 81 issey risen to greater
height. and never did he perform an act
which SO euteared HIM to his party and so
elevated him in its respect and esteem
Services so great rs his, abilities so various
and so conspicuous, associated with 80
magnanimous a temper, will never be for
gotten nor undervaiued, and cannot bu.
be fully recognized and rewarded.
