whig party. He has always worked for
his party from the purest motives and has
never sought Office or political preferment.
He is a distinguished graduate of the
university at Virginia, and was for several
years rector of that institution.
During the civil war, being unable to
engage actively in the contest, he served
in the war department and he has twice
represented his county in the legislature.
His pursuits have been of literary
character, preferring quiet and books
rather than the storm of political life.
His address before the alumni associa-
ton of his Alma Mater some years since
was model of literary excellence and
oratory and has been considered by some
the best ever delivered at that institution.
The societies are TO be congratulated
upon their selection, and all who can
should avail themselves of this opportun-
ity to hear pleasing and instructive ad-
dress.

The Commenc ement Reporter

There was row yesterday morning out
in the suburbs between man and his
wife, which was witnessed by the able com
mencement exercise reporter, and here is
his account of the affair:
yesterday morning man and his wife,
after very happy and prosperous term
of marriage life, engaged in exer-
cises, the programme of which was varied
and exceedingly interesting. The map
reached out after his wife in graceful
manner, and she was Frustrated to the
ground, which she nobly ana powerfully
bore with seeming ease and self-posses-
sion. 1t is creditable and characteristic of
true womanhood that, instead of fainting
and weeping, or giving way to terror, or
calling for aid, she brayely rose at once
and belted her husband over the face with
a short stick, and the exercises closed and
the large audience which had gathered,
dispersed and went home highly de-
lighted"

Rev. B. M. Palmer.

One of the most attractive features con
nected with the University exercises dur
ing the week will be the baccalgureate
sermon at the opera house, at II O'CLOCK
this forenoon, by Rev. B. NJ. Palmer, D
D., l.. l.. D., of New Orleans.
Doctor Palmer has been pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of that city
for many years, and so beloved Is he by
his congregation that they would not
hear of his leaving them, except once
when he made change for the benefit of
his health, and another time, when they
induced him to travel in foreign lands at
their own expense. BE is not only dis
tinguished as a divine and one of the
most eloquent pulpit orators OF the
country, but is remarkable for
his pastoral and philanthropic work
and influence with the people. He
served through the war as a chaplain In
the confederate army, and was noted for
his ministrations to the sick and wounded.
He never failed to lend his great influence
in charitable and philanthropic undertake
ings, in consequence of which he is a
great favOrite, not only with his own peo-
pie, bat all denominations.
As an orator he is noted for clear die
tion and majestic sweep rather than fitful
flights of eloquence. His reasoning is
well knit and powerful, his climaxes are
grand, his language never fails to fit
compactly in every word with his ideas,
and his sentences, whether long or short,
are smooth, glowing and well rounded
His emphasis and meditation are natural
and expressive. His theology is emf
nently orthodox and authoritative. AL
together he has hardly a superior in the
American pulpit

Art Exhibition.

The collection of paintings, drawings
in water colors, and crayon sketches, by
the pupils OF Miss Downey, on exhibition
at Union music hall for a day or two past,
was most oreditable one. Among the
landscape scenery and sketches, was one
by Miss Arabella Mebane, Texas scene;
also, another, by Miss Fannie Johns, of
this city. The oranges in crayon, by
Miss May Rankin; dogs head, by
Miss May Lane; flowers, in colors,
by Miss Fannie Johns; country
boy, by same; child, copied from
Rembrandt, by Georgia Sampson, aged
10; crayon head, by Miss Nettie Williams;
copy from a photo, in crayon, by Mrs
DR.. Bennett; a painting, by Mrs. B. c.
Wells; painting, by Mrs. DR.. Will Tobin
a sketch in water colors, by Anna Caper-
ton, are all worthy of note and commend
alton.
Nothing is more needed in Texas than
the cultivation of taste for art as well a.
music, with all its refining influences, and
such displays as the one mentioned above,
though on so limited a scale, should be
encouraged. All the young lady art
students mentioned, except one or two
belong to this city.

DISTRICT COURT.

COURT.
In this court, Judge TONNES presiding,
the quo warranto case, brought by the
state to GUST Col. j. c. DEGREES as alder
man of the Eighth ward of this city, was
tried, the state being represented by JAS.
H. Robertson, district attorney, and the
defendant respondent by George F. Pen
dexter, ESQ.,, and Judge j. B. Rector. The
evidence was taken, showing:
First-That DeGress was elected alder
man of the Eighth ward in December last
by vote of 2O9 for him and III for all
others, and qualified as alderman, and, up
to this date, still holds said Office.
Second-That, at the time of his cleo
ton and since that time up to the pres
ent, has held the Office of captain and
brevet-lieutenant-col on the retired
list of the regular army of the United
States, drawing a salary of $1,000 per
aunum upon his commission in said army.
The case was argued by counsel on both
sides and taken under advisement by the
court and will probably be decided by the
court on Thursday of next week.
The state conteRded that Colonel De
Gress was ineligible to hold said Office, be-
cause,
First-The constitution of this state
provides that no person "holding or ex-
ercising any Office of profit or trust under
the United States = shall x
x hold Or exercise any Office of profit or
trust under this state" and, because,
Second-The charter of the city pro-
vides that no person, except a qualified
voter of said city, shall be eligible to hold
the Office OF alderman of said city, and,
under our constitution, which provides
that Gall soldiers, marines and sesmen,
employed in the service Of the army or
navy of the United States" shall not be
allowed to vote, and that Cap:
tain DEGREES is not qualified voter
of this city under said provision
The respondent, DEGREES, contends that
he cannot be removed from said Office in
this proceeding, because
First-That the district court has nc
jurisdiction to try this case, the value OF
the Office not being equal to $500.
Second-That the charter of this city
having provided that the city counci
should Judge of the disqualification of its
members, and said DEGREES having been
indicted into office by said council, the
question was res-adjudicated and this
court had no power to open up the ques.
ton, and
Third-That the Office of alderman OF
said city, if an Office at all, is not such
Office as is contemplated by the constitu.
ton of this state.

Mr.. Dorsey may be hkened to Samson.
He had to bear the brunt of the star route
trouble, although in his party Others were
said to be equally guilty. If he tells the
true history of the great star route frauds
he will, of course, cover himself with fresh
obloquy in the eyes of his party associates.
But what of that! He will find in Samson
q good example. And beyond question he
would willingly sacrifice himself for the
purpose of getting even with those who,
as he claims, left him in his hour of need
