r to J no to Mi Garfield was one of the committee f conference between the two booses. Iu this committee there was a contest ot six hours on the salary question and Gen. Garfield steadily voted against every propo sition to increase salaries. lie found himself in a hopeless minority. There were but two tilings toe done refuse to act with the committee and oppose the bill in the house, or gain his points as near as possible and unite in reporting it back. The first proposition would have made an ex tra session necessary to pass the ap propriation bill, which also contained many measures ot great importance to the country and which demanded immediate aotiou. In submitting the bill ho said: ul was opposed to the increase in conference as I was opposed to it in the diseussion and in my votes here, but my associate conlreos were in favor of the Senate amendment, and I was compelled to choose between signing the report and running the risk of bringing on an extra session of congress." This grave responsibility he did aotcare to shoulder alone and there fcre signed the bill with the above protest. When the country was so indignant at the act, in a carefully prepared summary of the innocent and guilty, Gen. Garfield's name was classed among the "innocent. " He was one of the first to refuse the back pay and ?ievr did receive it, as the records show. lie was one of the first to urge its repeal and helped tiie move by speech and vote. What next ? Oh, the DE OOLLYER PAVEMENT. As associate counsel he did re ceive a fee lor a legal argument be fore the territorial government of the District of Columbia on the mer its of the De Gollyer pavement pat ont. Congress had nothing to do with the payment of the contract, which was a subject of interest to the owner of the patent and to the tax payers of W ashingtou city alone.

The nomination of Hancook and "English by the Cincinnati Conven tion,, presents some strange, but not altogether new phases of democratic tactics. Hancock is bimply a new scheme of a party that is ever trying to dnpe the people Their only avowed principle is to defeat tke Republican party, and this has been their only ambition for years. In order to accomplish this they baited their hook with McClellan in 18C4 and Greeley in 1872, thus causing the death of the veteran republican, and in 1876 by Tilden and the cry of reform. By the nomination of Han cock they have returned to the tac tics of '64, and nominated a man who has had no other experience than a military life, a principle they hare al ways declared as ruinous to the country, and an argument employed unsparingly by them when republi cans talked of Gen. Grant as a possi ble nominee. A Union General at the head of the liqket and a Hoosier copperhead at the tail, certainly make a queer combination. While Hancock was thrashing rebels, English was trying to, thwart the loyal designs of the brave Oliver P. Morton in Indiana. While Hancock was hanging Mrs. Surrntt, an act always condemned by the democrats, such men as English were glorying secretly in the mur der ot Lincoln, for which crimo the woman gave up her life. It is the old cry of "anything to beat Grant," and a nomination that will grow weaker as the time ot ejection drawe nearer. '80. ANNUAL EXERCISES. Large Audience, Showers of Bou quets and a pleasant time. Any one visiting the region of tho Universalis church Friday evening would have certainly decided that the interest in tho graduating exer cises had by no means lessened.. At half past 6ix tbo open space iu front of the church was filled with people, and a long line extended down the walk, all waiting patiently tor the doors to open. When this was done there was a rush, and Mr. Palmer had to interpose to prevent undue crowding ol the eagor throng. The building was soon filled and many had to leave, failing to even seoure standing room. At eight o'clock the class filed onto the platform, accompanied by Prof. Tower and Miss Ingersoll, clergymen and school board. Mr. Spoor stepped forward and a hush fell on the crowd, the only sound audible aside from the tones of prayer being the waving 'of hundreds of fans, which the imaginative might have fancied sounded like angel's wings. The petition was direct, common sense and to the point ask ing that the young graduates might press on to yet higher excellence in mental eulture, and that our city might likewise remember the neces sity of mental drill and discipline. The elass, assisted by Prof. Tower, then gave a GREETING SONG which differed from most of these productions in being quite well ren dered. Miss Grace Gustin now came forward with her salutatory essay, ITALY LIES OVER THE ALPS. Among the first indications ol in telligence shown by the child is the longing for the future, to be a "big boy" to reach manhood's estate. Ever longing for the beyond, for the tutuie, for "the land that is fairer than this," for th6 "Italy over the Alps." Many had pressed on, tra versed the weary journey and reach ed the destination. But from the time ambition had burst the gates of parad'iBO, the unrest of lite and sur roundings had ever filled the human heart. The pilgrim ever was loug ing for the Jerusalem of promise, ever saw the goal beyond, ever hoped from the next hilltop to catch a glirase of the golden summer land, the Italy of his desire. But the practical worker after all was the one that grasped the golden threads that, woven together, made even the dreary Alps surmountable. And though the owl may hoot his deri sion from the ruined temples left by man's ambition, and though the loftiest towers and minarets may rise to heaven to satisfy tho longing, still it is the beyond, hills peep over hills, Alps o'er Alps arise. Beauty, wealth, fame, all fail of giving perfect rest, all fail of filling that picture in the human mind, that hind of golden summer days, the mvsiic. ltifni Italy just over the Alps. Then class mates, let us put on the armor of am bition and press forward, never wearying in tho rae, press forward with determination until "Our Italy" is won. After a beautiful song by the quartett, Mr. Homer Nash presented his views on HAPPINESS. Happiness is man's being, end and aim. Among the first things defi ned by the young mind is happiness and misery, and although both may bo relative, they are none the less real for that. This world is a nar row neek between two seas, on the one side lies the past, on the other the to come, the one is a picture of memory, the other a beautiful hope. But the present, the now, is no idle phantom. The waves of the sea of life bear the active man on their bosom but bury the sluggard in their depths. To act is to sucoeed, to be idle is to fail. The foundation lor a happy life must be laid in youth. The truly wise and happy generally owe the lact to good parents. Wise men generally owe their powers to the influence of a pure mother, whose forgetfulness of self binds the youth to her in chains soft at silk but strong at brass gyves. Bnt, to attain happiness, roan, must not live for self alone. This defeats the very object hoped for. Habit rules a majority of lives. The habits contracted in youth generally attend us to the grave and make or mar our happiness. As the needle is ever trne to the magnet, bo should cur affections point to a harbor of happi ness. . Yet one must learn to pre ceivo, weigh and discriminate. He must not follow all, or rcjeet all. There is some good in all however debased, seme redeeming spark. It may be like the pure white Hlly on the breast of some foul stream, but all the sweeter by the contrast, and as the lilly collects only purity from its base surroundings, so should man collect the sweetness and perfume of life, 6tore up happiness by living a life at harmony with self and na ture's laws. Nature is to man a re flection of himself. If he be pure, he sees only harmony in nature, if be be impure he sees only discord. Yes, life is what we make it. It may be a Sahara, or a paradise. Let each weigh these facts and make a wise choice. The "Bugle Horn" rang ont from the quartett, clear and sweet, and i Miss Addie Brazier followed with an essay on SCIENCE. The votaries of science havo been at times overwhelmed with the mag nitude of their undertakings, but never have despaired. Soience has been well defined as "knowledge re duced to order." The basis of science in the immutable laws of na ture, and the highest votaries of science have given these laws their close and laborious study. Art has united with science to control the powers of nature, yet there is a difference between them and their manner of working. If science is knowledge, art is skill in using kuowledge. Science sends our thoughts with the speed of lightning. One need not now wish for the Archi medean lever to move the world, for mighty powers are placed within ih& hands of the patient investigator By the discoveries of soience vision is not limited to this world but is led to the contemplation of spheres above, by the side of which this mighty world t ades into insignifi cance by comparison. All honor to the brows that wear the garland of common sense. To these minds we are indebted for many of the practi cal and useful truths of science. This is tho weapon that has demolished superstition. This is the quality that has led to the investigation of the truths of geology, chemistry and kindred facts. Science is naturally progressive. Tke revered supersti tions of ages could not dim the light burning in Newton's mind, and many another hero has flung off the bonds and pursued the path of duty and truth. Reason untrameled shall sweep in the truths of the universe as the telescope sweeps the starry heavens, and each soul shall be at tracted by rays of truth which shall at length bring conviction for "Truth is mighty and must prevail." Mrs. Karl Rudd sang a solo, "Don't let the roses listen," executed in the pleasing manner and sweet voice for which this lady is noted, and Miss Kittie Stark preaeuted the snhjeo of GLEANERS. For ages the beautiful character of Ruth has been symbolical of the gleaner. Not only of the gleaner of truth and material things, but ot the emblem f constancy and devotion. "Whither thou goest I will go, thy people shall be my people." Such sentiments could only havo sprung from a pure heart. As Ruth gleaned in tho fields of Boaz, so do men glean in the fields of tho world, un locking by patient industry realms of art, soience and literature and scat tering the hoarded treasures for others to gather up. Everyone gleaned not alike, some took the lighter portions, the chalf of life and made merry with it, while others sought only the golden grain. Some laid bare tho charms of earth's se crets, and read there the foot-prints made ages ago, traces that, lighted by knowledge, glowed with a mean ing deep and grand. A tiny frag ment of stone was made to bear wit ness of ages uuknown. Men yet sailed to the North in search of the mystic passage. In gleaning for knowledge in the great harvest field, they have gone to Ocean's depth and demaudsd its secrets. Tho beautiful coral has been made to bear witness, and the tinted shell has murmnred the echo of its ocean song, not the sound of the tempest, but the low re- irain oi me waves us iuvy w the lifltAtiHtt! shora. -ilertArs th; e have been too among the flowers and tho meadows as well a in tho stern er part of nature's workshop. Poets have gathered the flowers of song and bound them in ripened sheaves. The great sons of nature have gar nered great sheaves for their fellow men. Yet equally faithful have been the humble Ruths that have walked in lower paths doing their daily round of duties. Not all can reap the golden grain, some thero must bo to gather up that which is left. Memory is but a storo house of gleanings. Therein are treasured the beautiful forms and faces that have mouldered away visions too fair dreams too perfect for earth. Bless the faithful gleaners wherever found. Bless all that work ami toil. Some glean to save, while others shower their treasures with a liberal hand. t And as gleaners we ask ' Watchman what ot the night II Tho star that arose when the shep ards were tending their flocks has never gone down. The memory of that gleaner has gone into tho re cords of tno'past. The question is "Where hast thou gleaned to-day?" Ah ! not till the harvest is over and the sheaves of life troddon out in tho mill of of life's discipline can the question be fully answered. Let all see to it that the answer be one worthy of men and women, worthy of true gleaners in the world's har vest. Master Archie Gardner then came forward with his cornet and gate one f his pieces, accompanied by Miss Maude Martin on thre piano. Both did nicely, Archie has evident ly improved over his effort of last fall. Then came the valedictory by Mr. Fred L. Colby. OUR SCHOOLMASTERS. Man differs from other creatures of the animal kingdom. He pre ceives, judges, reasons. But this outward preception gives proof of internal knowledge, of thought, in vestigation. Every true man should be so self poised, have such an idea of bis powers and capacities, and such a reepect for his better nature that he is beyond price, realizing that there is something within toe sacred for barter. To one lost in a wilderness all is alike, because all is ignorance. Help must come to such to save them from traveling in that endless circle marked out by ignor ance of surroundings. Into thin darkness a ray from Infinite light is cast. The mind is like an instru ment upon which no chord has been struck. The melody produced will much depeud on the player. Ifit be a master hand, only ravishing nm sio will issue forth, if a novice, only discords can come. Our first school masters are our parents, and upon these much depends tor the subse quent harmony of our lives. The mind of tho child receives impres sions, like the plastic composition that will at length harden into tbo moulds of habit. The reason of the ! why and wherefore will oome with more perfect development. Yet but j little ot the real life work can now be done save to rear a foundation, and if thin be well done how im portant. Gibbon says well aud tru ly that man has two educations, the first he derives from others, the sec ond he must attain for himself. As strength increases, there comes the power to form ideas, to make re oui-fsoarch, to trace out cause and effect. With this also comes predelictions o lines of thought and life work, and these would probably influence the future career. In literal school much depends on teachers, in life's school one's self must often be the judge as to fitness of teachers, lines of aonduct and influences. The germ of thought and impulse must be directed, and to do this the teacher must lead, pointing out new worlds to conquer. Our final meas ure will be the limit of our possibil ities. The class were then addressed as classmates, the teachers thanked for the efforts put forth, and tho board of education tor their guardianship. On behalf of the class hard work for the future wa3 plodged, and "by striving we hope, as a class, to win 'Our Italy.'" Notwithstanding Mrs. Sherwood lost her place in singing the solo of "Twickenham Ferry," the effort was equal to any we ever heard her ren der in public, which is saying a great deal. Prof. Tower followed in a few well chosen remarks, well delivered. He reminded the class that they had only passed the first mile-stone on the journey to their ideal Italy. Yet few havo the courage to push thus far and much he hoped they might strive on, undisoouragod and undis mayed till an Italy wor-.h having was attained. The diplomas were then present ed aud the class song given, Rev. H. Worthington pronounced the benediction and the large audience diKpersed. As a whole the exercises were ad mirable and surpassed any we have attended this year. Many and beau tiful bouquets were given in quanti ty, some of them of rare beauty. The little flower girls, Carrie Powell aud Nettie Spencer, fulfilled their parts nicely, and created much mer riment by tho matter f fact way with which they attended to busi ness. The Democratic Platform- This instrument comes before the people containing a greater number of the usual catch phrases of democ racy than usual. It starts out by pledging themselves anew to the "constitutional doctriues and tra ditions of the democratic party." The second plank talks of contri lization, despotism, separation of church and state, fostering the pub lic schools, etc. Every intelligent voter has learned not to be decpived by u CKJ.y cheM, rung o "ctm MraliaatJort" and "desnotism " lhu church and date never have been united and never can bo, and as for I fostering public schools one has only to glance at tho South where Northern ladies have been mobbed, insulted and even killed for teaching the free colored children even the rudiments of education. Democracy will have a hard job to make people believe that it, as a party, will ever foster the public school system. Tho third plank gives the green backers a slap in the face by declar ing for gold, silver and paper con vertable into coin on demand as the currency of the nation. The fourth prates of a "thorough and genuine reform in the civil ser vice." The declarations in the fifth plank would fill the heart of every Repub lican with joy could they be trusted. It deolares that tho "right to a free ballot must and shall be maintained in every part of the United States." Could this be carried out the coun try could bid farewell to rifle clubs, tissue ballots, the shot gun policy and other democratic methods of "influencing" votes. It could also bid farewell to the "Solid South," for it would be solid no longer, save in a republican sense. It claims that the present administration makes a"claitn of right to surround the ballot-boxes with troops and deputy marshals to intimidate and obstruct the electors." This becomes posi tively funny when we remember that but a few weeks ago the democratic majority voted solidly against the following resolutions offered; 1st, allowing the President to use the troops to preserve peace at the polls; 2d, against the employment of milita ry power even when authorized by the constitution; 3d, against the em ployment of troops to enforce the lawful execution of the law, and 4th, against the employment of the mili tary to enforce the civil rights act or to suppress insurrection. The 6ixth prates of the "great fraud"of '76 and ot the submission of tho democratic party rather than enguif the country in a eivil war. As if the democratic party had not enough of civil war I The seventh sheds a few tears over Slippery Sammy's letter and declares that it ia received with "deep sensi bility." No. nine eits down on all immi gration save for "travel, education and foreign commerce." The eleventh pledges to protect the laboring man "against the cor morants and tho Commune." Cormo rants are large sea birds and Com mune is a small district in France. Democracy is probably capable f carryiug out this pledge, and the "laboring man" need fear neither. The twelth and last announces that the thrift ol a Democratic Con gress has reduced the public expen diture S40,000,000 per annum. Could this assertion be substantiated it would be a sound appeal to public confidence. Before this plank of the platform was formulated, the New York Times had this review of public expenditures: "The extraordinary expenditures of the Government for the year ending June 30, 18 to, the one for which ap preciations wero made by the Forty-tnird Congress, were, in round numbers, $258,500,000. The next year the Democrats reduced them to $238,500,000, and the next year thereafter to $237,000,000. But the following vear 1879 they were run up to $267,000,000, for 1880 to S298,000,000, and. with the- defi ciencies unprovided for, will be about the same for 1881. As a mere matter of rough comparison between the two parties, tho credit for real red not ion belongs with the Republi cans. They cut down the expendi tures from $292,000,000 in 1871 to $258,500,000 in 1876 ; the Democrats have advanced them from that sum to $298,000,000, which is $6,000,000 higher than at the beginning of the last five years of Republiean rule, $40,000,000 higher than at the close of that period, and $60,000,000 high er than at the beginning of the like period of Democratic rule." So oven this, the only real, vital claim made for the suffrage of the people, is not bourne out by fasts and figures. Chancery Sale.
