COMMENCEMENT DAY AT ATHENS
The End of a Successful Year.
ATHENS, lem; May 25. 1873

ATHENS, Tenn; May 70, 1857.
Mr. EDITOR: Yesterday closed the most
successful year in the history of East Ten
nesssee Wesleyan University. Two hun
bred and twenty-five students have been en-
rolled during the year just closed, and the
work done has been thorough, systematic
and successful. On yesterday, commence
versity chapel, the largest audience which
we have ever seen in Athens. The day was
consumed with the orations of the gradua-
ting class, interspersed with superb and soul
string music by the Knoxville Orchestra,
whose services were fortunately Sc cured for
the occasion. Degrees were conferred up
on the members of the class, as follows:
Upon Fred. l.. Mansfield and John F. Will
son, the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Up
on Samuel w. McCallie and Frank NJ. Glenn
ans, that of Bachelor of Philosophy, and
upon Gideon Il. Matthews, David F. Ar
hur, Robert B. Bunchfel, VIM. Atlee Long,
VIM. +. McCanon and John A. Denton, the
degree of Bachelor of Science Honorary
degrees were also conferred by
the board of trustees as follows:
Inc degree OF Doctor of Divinity
upon Rev. j. Emory Round, of Baltimore,
and Rev. VIM. Runnyan, of Cincinnati,
and the degree of Master of Arts upon Rev.
Joseph NJ. Carter, of Tullahoma, Tenn.
On last evening the orchestra gave con-
cert in the chapel which was very enjoya-
bic affair." and was favored with an immense
audience. The cornerstone of the new
University chapel was laid this morning,
with appropriate ceremonies, by Bishop
Warren. 1 would add that the trustees
have re-enacted for the coming year free
tuition, which has proven such an attractive
feature during the session just closed.

The newspapers have some trouble
in fixing the status of Hon. Alexan>
der FL. Stephens. Some time ago he
signifed his determination to retire
from public life, but he had to repeat
it several times before he succeeded
in convincing the world that he
would not be candidate for reselec-
ton to the House of Representatives.
Only few days ago it was announced
with apparent authority that he
would accept the nomination of the
Independents for Governor of Geor
gia. But this is now denied, and it
is said that he has written a letter in
which he afirms that he will accept
no nomination for Governor unless it
comes from the regular Democratic
convention. He is old and physical
ly very frail, but we shall not be sur.
prised if the regulars tender him the
nomination, to the chagrin of younger
ones who want it.

rs 1T A COMPLICATION,

The talk of certain newspapers
and certain politicians who have OPP
posed every effort to settle the State
debt at any figure, about the recent
act of the Legislature complicating
a settlement, is supremacy ridiculous.
1t is the merest hypocritical twaddle.
They know, as every one else knows
that they have always opposed every
effort to settle the debt, and they
know that they would have opposed
a settlement now on any basis, e1-
cept the absolute reputation of all
that part of the bonded debt created
in the construction of railroads.
If they consent to anything more
than this, their professions in the
past have been hypocritical, and if
they still insist upon this, they are
hypocritical when they talk about
the complication of the question by
the recent act of the Legislature.
They may take either horn of the
dilemma they choose.
No intelligent man can insist that
the passage of the recent act of the
Legislature complexities the State
debt question in the least. How
complicate it -? Will some of these
Glow tax" gentry tell us7 Give us
the why's and wherefores. How

tie on that basis now, why did you
oppose it three years ago, and why
did you say in your Wilson platform
of 1880, that none of the railroad
bonds were a binding obligation
against the State If you were hon
est then you are wrong now, or else
you do not mean what you say when
you talk about the act of the Legis
lature complicating this question.
The truth is, there are men
who are opposing the present
settlement who are in favor Of abso-
lutte reputation, but they have
not reached point yet where they
have the courage to boldly proclaim
their real sentiments yet. They are
not quite depraved enough to admit
what their actions lead them to di-
rectly and Enthusiastically. It will be
well for the State when they do make
up their minds to this. The issue
will be fairly and squarely presented
then, and the people will understand
it. The Democratic convention, to
be held Oh the Goth of next month.
may simplify the question somewhat
We presume there will be some can
did Democrats in that convention,
who will favor plain statement as
to the basis upon which they are
willing to settle. We trust So We
trust that the question may be made
before the voters of the State in such
way that there Will be no room fol-
lodging. When this is done, an OPP
portunity will be presented to test
the sincerity of some men who are
now crying out against the 60-4-5-G
settlement as complicating the ques
ton of the State debt.

EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
At the East Tennessee Wesleyan
University.

University.
ATHENS, May 25th, 1882
Mr.. EDITOR: The educational confer
ence called to consider the white education
al work of the M. E. Church in the South,
assembled this morning in the Literary Hall,
East Tennessee Wesleyan University. Bish-
op Warren was elected president, and Rev.
Thos. B. Carter, of the Central Tennessee
Conference, secretary.
Resolutions were adopted providing for a
Eystemization of the relations existing be
tween the University and its Seminaries, so
that the Seminaries shall not retain students
further than the commencement of the
Freshman year, requesting the patronizing
conferences of the University to provide
funds for the establishment of chair of
Practical Theology within its halls; and pro-
vidlng for the collection of facts regarding
the history of the Seminaries, for publica-
ton in pamphlet form. The most exciting
debate of the session was over the location
of the proposed great Central University for
Tie NJ. OuuTCu Ill lDlS b6CC1On. LIE plan
finally agreed upon was as follows: That
five members be appointed from
the Holston Conference, two from the
Georgia Conference, two from the Blue
Ridge Conference, two from the Alabama
Conference, two from the Central Tennes-
see Conference, and three from the Vir-
ginia Conference, who shall meet with
Bishop Warren and representatives of the
Freedmen's Aid Society and select three
points of location, any one of which is &C
ceptable to their respective conferences.
From these three the Freedmen's Aid So
ciety is to select one, which will be the To-
cation. 1t is believed that this action is IA
vorable to the retention of the University,
or at least its literary department, at
Athens
After votes of thanks to Bishop Warren
and Rev. DIR. Rust for their interest in the
educational work represented by E. T. w.
University, and to the people of Athens for
their courtesy and hospitality, the confer
ence adjourned sine die. ARGUS.

THIS entire week has been spent III
the House of Representatives in a
vain attempt 70 dispose of contest
ed election case The Democrats
have obstructed the proceedings by
dilatory motions ard filibustering
generally. They are accountable to
the country for this waste of public
time. But they are not alone re-
sponsible. The Republicans have
majority of the House, and if all of
them were present in their seats,
they could break the deadlock, and
proceed with business. But enough
of them have been absent to prevent
a quorum on roll calls, hence this
waste of time and money. We have
been told that the active and efficient
members of Congress are those
who are least often in their
seats" The fallacy of such propo
sition is apparent to every one. The
place for a member of Congress is
in his seat, and when he absents
himself without good and sufficient
excuse, he violates his trust and is
guilty of a gross neglect of his off
cial duties. The absence of few
Republican members of Congress
from their seats this week, has res
suited in the obstruction of public
business, and has cost the country
thousands of dollars. The people
will wake up on this subject one OF
these days and will teach habitual
absentees wholesome lesson that
they will not easily forget it.
