Comforting of diplomas by Rev. Mr..
Perkins, who followed with an appropri-
ate address TO the class and those who
gave them instruction.
The salutatory address of Miss Burr
was well rendered and all her essays
showed thorough course of study.
Miss Keller delivered her essays in a
clear and distinct voice and her English
essay on the Influence of Love" was
much appreciated. The others, French
and Latin, showed diligent student and
left many wondering how young ladies
could remember 80 much of other Ian
guages.
Miss Perinchief handled her subjects
well and the yaledictory address, Onward
and Upward" reflected great credit upon
her.
The instrumental music was excellent,
especially that of Master Ashhurst and
sister and Miss Roussell. The two for
mer being very young their talent was
much appreciated by the audience.
The class song has much merit as a
poem and was we'll sung by the gradu-
stes, each of whom composed a verse
1t is as follows:
CLASS SONG.
Come friends and schoolmates one and all
And join our farewell song;
Let music echo through the hall,
With cheerful voice and strong.
10 each of US the untrod way
Is hidden out of sight;
Yet fancy touches with bright ray,
And all we trust is light.
CHORUS.
Alma Mater, Alma Mater.
Good bye and love to you;
OF all your happy classes
Forget not eighty-two.
Not mighty deeds make up the sum
Of happiness below,
Fen schoolgirl Joys cannot be won
Without some toll and woe,
Ger all our hearts shadow steals
Ofsadness and regret,
That we must Alma Mater leave.
And friends we here have met,
Alma Mater, etc.
Come friends and schoolmates Join our Law
Of greeting and farewell
To you on this Commencement Day,
Sorrow and joy we tell
For now the longed-for day has come.

scholars and friends. He was followed
by Rey. Mr.. Mel.
To the pupils who have not missed any
session of the school for the wear prize
is offered by Miss Baquet, of one years
tuition in music, painting or any of the
languages. The young ladies who are
entitled to this prize this year are Misses
Lille Fenimore, Sarah Budd, Ida Creyere
and Virginia Wills. Miss Baquet allows
those who win this prize to take this tut
ton at any time.
The last thing done was the distribu-
ton of bouquets and presents to the gradu-
ates, each one receiving many more than
they could carry. The flowers were very
rare as we'll aa heantifnI
The exercises were then brought to q
close, and to Miss Baquet and her able

NOTABLE EXAMPLE OF FRAUD.

Concord Precinct in the same county presents an
example of fraud quite worthy of the special cleo
ton which sent Samuel Dibble to stolen seat IN
Congress. The report says AT this precinct it is
claimed by Mr. Richardson, and conceded by MIR.
Lee that every honcsg vote cast was cast Tor Mr
Richardson. One hundred and fifty-two honest
Democratic votes were cast at this poll. The
Republicans refused to vote, because they believed
the ballot-box was already stuffed before the
poll was opened. All who voted there voted the
Democratic ticket. This was undeniable put,
strange to say. when the box was opened fraudu-
lent excess of forty-one ballots was found IN the
box They were all Democratic tickets, as no Ke-
publlcans voted and not single Republican ballot
was found in the box. IL would seem 10 DC plaln
that this fraud was Democratic fraud the excess
was properly rejected, but Concord Precinct may
fairly be held forth a specimen OF the frauds per-
petrated in this district. The managers were dH
Democrats, and Democrats alone voted
At Privaiter precinct iii the same county, wheTe,
according to the subcommittee, comparatively
fair election was held, the number of votes ac;
| fu,lly cast was Iii but when the box was opened
26t tickets were found III it, AS to Sumter County

REPUBLICAN PRECINCT VOTES THROWN OUT.
In Williamsburg County, where the State Can
yassers gave Richardson majority OF 449, although
in his answer TO the notice of contest he admits
that Lee received majority. the County
Commissioners threw out three precincts which
precincts tissue ballO stuffed INTO the box
At one poll where there an honest Democratic
majority and where only 1l5 votes were cast, there
| was an excess of 1873 ballots III the box. The man
ayers were all Democrats. The fraudulent ballots
found i'll the box were Democratic. 1t was Demo-
cratic fraud"
n Horny County, which has q large white ma
iorlty there are q few Republican precincts One
of these is Martin Hill precinct, which gave Lee l12
and Richardson 13 votes, and this vote the Demo
cratic commissioners rejected t0r trlyoOus reason

surrounded the polls and prevented the Republi-
cans from voting. The testimony of 24O Republl-
cans a. the precinct is that they were not allowed
to vote and tnat hundreds OF Republicans IKE
thems Ives left the polls without voting, on ac-
count of threats against their lives This hrIn
management of the Democrats enabled the
managers to return l,271 votes for richardson

TO REMOVE TARIFF ON SUGAR.

WASHINGTON, July Pit is expected that an
attempt Will be made to pass i'll the House to-inor-
row. under a suspension Of the rules, bill to repeal
So much of the tariff sugar As was imposed by the
act of March 3, 1S75-amOunting 10 one-hith OIL the
entire duty on that article. The friends OF TINS
measure have been very busy of late urging the
proprety of action at this session, on the ground
that sugar is 10 longer a luxury but necessity ;
that for every dollars worth of sugar consumed the
consumer pays the Government tax or thirly
cents that his tax Is unnecessary as IL Is DuIueh-
some and that a decrease of the tax on sugar
would be shared by the entire population, and more
helpful 10 the whole people than any oiher Ieuuc-
tiOn that can be made III our tarl1.'
