Last Friday brought the closing cx-
cycises of the i'cndctOn Graded School.
During the last session it has been our
delight and privilege to attend this
school, and the many pleasures and
benefits which have been mutually
shared during the last ten months have
actliatcd many kind Impressions which
will not be- ctfaccd by the tides and
tcmpcsts of future days. The teach
crs, Prof. A. 6. Holmes. Misses Mar
gle Major and Maud DOuthit. are in
structOrs of high tact and ability.
l'ndcr the supervision of Prof.
Holmes, the average attendance las
increased twenty per cent. over the
former attendance. a library WAS
started during the last session which
consists, now, OF Il hundred vOlllmnS.
And, besides this, other improvements
have been made which show the high
proficiency and np-to-datc methods Of
the teachers. The trustees have shown
their appreciation of the work done by
clecting the same teachers for HE en-
suing year, bnt, to the regrets OF the
patrons, NJ ISIS Maryic Major declined re-
election.
The same old cry is beginning to
arise again, "too much rain" Well,
we believe we have received Il little
too much, that is, if it only wanted to
wash away terraces, bitches and
bridges, and cover up some corn and
cotton and take part of the remainder

Il striking manner the untl0nbtch right
of tie Southern soldier to demand,
even ut The point of the bayOnct, those
rights and immunities which were
granted in the original confederation.
Why is it not possible to establish
one supreme governmental govern
mcnt that will be uniform over the
supreme governmental palace erected
on one of the continents, and let the
nations elect II King or President for
this Office, and also, let representatives
from all the nations assemble Mt this
palace to make all the laws and rcguln-
tiOns concerning international rca-
tiOns? Could not the power OF declar-
ing war he vested in this government.
and thereby Oblitcrate the necessity Of
not this aid the advancement of the
nations and the progress OF science and
art, and last but not least Christianity,
since there would be nothing to dis
tract the minds and invcstiga tiOns of
people? And also, those tccming thou

would be sent out to the fields. thus
cnchancing the productive value OF all
nations, and diminishing the great
strain that now rests upon the com
parativcly small number Of agriculture
al producers. The present amount re-
Quireu to maintain the army and navy
of the United States alone would hc
almost sufficient to support such gov
crnment. Such n government should
not interfere with the private rights OF
nations, but each nation would main
tain its regular form of government,
except the international relations
which could be acted upon only by the
representatives in the supreme govern
anent. Thus annihiiating tho enor-
mons expense of carrying on wars and
the incomprchcnsiblc loss and destruc-
tiOn to States an property.
