 Edwards is one of the famous Elmore county Whitecappers, but at the trial he turned states evidence. and to that and other extenuating circumstances owes his pardon at the hands of the gov- ernor.
 The adjourned term of the Fillmore county circuit court, at which the trial of the Whitecapping eases was to have been begun, which should have con- vened on Monday last at Wetumpka, did not convene by reason of the illness of Judge N. D. Denson. Governor Oates did not learn of the inability of Judge DenSon to hold the court in time to ap- point a special judge, according to the new law. and the clerk adjourned the court until Friday, the 14th instant. Un- less Judge Denson recovers sufficiently it will be rather a hard job to find a competent man who will be willing to occupy the bench during the trial of the Whitecapping cases.
 The board, consisting of MeSSrs. Elm nett Seibles, P. B. Mastin and T. S. Her bert, appointed by the governor to con slider applications for Confederate vet erans pensions filed in Montgomery county, received sixty applications and passed favorably on all.
 It will be remembered that the last legislature imposed tax of F of 1 mill, the money resulting from this tax to compose a pension fund for the disabled Confederate veterans and the widows of veterans.

 Piedmont, June 13.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-The commencement eXer- cises of the Cumberland Presbyterian seminary brought quite a number of visitors to Piedmont this week. The programme was varied and was so nicely arranged that there was no part of it tiresome to the large audiences present on each occasion.
 The sermon on Sunday by the Rev J. W. Caldwell of Huntsville was mas terpiece and was listened to by a large concourse of people. The literary ad- dress on Tuesday by Rev. J. w.

 Wednesday morning at II o'clock a large and cultured audience assembled to listen to the commencement address by Rev. J. 1. b. HindS of Lebanon, Tenn. The gifted speaker gave his audience 0 magnificent intellectual repast Ii was chaste, scholarly and to the point, and the words of wisdom he uttered will be treasured up by his large audience.
 The young men acquitted themselves creditably in debate, and the young la dies of the lyceum contributed largely to the interesting exercises by thelr en- tertainment on Tuesday night.
 Upon the whole the commencement was quite a success and everybody was pleased. The school closes its second session with the favor of our community and the good will of every patron. All were satisfied with the proficiency of the pupils during the session just closed. The school closes auspiciously and decidedly on the up grade and with fiattering pros poets for next session.
