THROUGH the New York Times we learn of
a recent remarkable theatrical perform
ance at the Perkins Institute for the Blind,
Boston, the pupils of which performed
Sheridan Knowles's William Tell. Twelve
young men, who had never seen a theat-
rical performance, who had not the slight
est idea of the appearance of a theater,
and whose notions of the stimulation of
character could not have been derived
from study OF the work OF other actors,
sustained the principal charlottesville
tyrannical "Gessler," the Swiss patriot,
his son, the cruel "Sarnem" and the
members of Tells band-and according to
the newspapers the representation was
fully equal in merit to the performances
usually given by unprofessional actors.

ANNOUNCEMENT.


To the Voters of the Second Congressional Dis
trict:
l have preferred to announce in this
way my intention to stand for nomination
and election by this district to the House
OF Representatives, rather than to have
published any solicitations which l may
have received from my friends. Without
these assurances of support, however,
which have come to me from nearly
every county in the district, and in many
cases from men who do not call them
selves Democrats, l should not have ven
tured upon this candidacy. The final con-
test will not be childs play, and l enter
the lists with fixed purpose to spare no
honorable effort that may be necessary to
secure success for those principles whose
enforcement is necessary in my opinion,
to the well-being OF this people. My
determination so TO labor, however,
is in no wise dependent upon
your indorsementl of this candidacy. If
elected, it shall be my aim to raise my
voice and cast my vote for all measures
that may tend to purify the administra-
ton of the government and tighten the
burdens upon the people. 1t is unneces-
sary for me TO add that my candidacy for
election is contingent upon the approval OF
my party friends, to be expressed in such
manner as they may adopt for making
choice between aspirants. Should they
prefer another to myself, he shall have my
support. J. B. MORGAN.

strictest application OF the Jeffersonian
standard: "He is honest; he is qualified. u

Now as to the figures given in the ''com-

1t is true that upon the articles of bacon,
flour and grain therein mentioned, our
proposed rates are, as stated therein,
slightly higher than the rates established
on the same by the Georgia Commission.
But we deny and repel the imputation
that we SO proposed them to discriminate
against the farmers or in favor of any
other class, but because we believed that
such figures were nearer to what would
be Just and reasonable to the roads and to
all concerned in this State than lower
figures would be. And while our pro-
posed rates on said articles are little
higher than the Georgia rates, they are
much more below the rates now charged
on the same by the following leading
roads in the State, as shown by the sched-
ules of tariffs of said roads now before us,
and which are set forth in the table below: !:
