Another Opportunity for
t>reenaboro.
We are reliably informed that a gentle-
ISD of large means and a resident ot
the Piedmont Section of this State, will
eonstraet a Cotton Factory of fire hun-dred
looms employing from three to fire
hundred operative! in Greensboro, if the
elty will donate a sufficient quantity of
baud within or near tbe corporate limits,
in an eligibla plaos for the purpoee of
aractiag the Factory aod oeoeaaary bolld-ings
for operatives—and agree to exempt
tbe property from municipal taxation for
ten yeara.
Such an improvement would add to our
population one thousand people, wool.I
iaereaae our trade perhapa half million
of dollars, and be tbe means of inducing
others to put up Cotton Factories in
Greensboro. When the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad ia finished, a
competition line will have been eetab-llshed
for shippers, and aa a necessary
consequence freights will be reduced, and
a great advantage given to buyera aud
shippers of cotton especially.
Now will our people take bold of this
great project, thia initiatory movement
to tbe making of our city a great manu-facturing
centre, or will tbev let tbe
jolilen opportunity past, aud with it the
beat interests of oar city and section f
Tl-is co*ton factory wMiild be worth a
'oxen tobacco factories Whir say tbe
City Council I We are persuaded our
municipal authorities will display busi-nes,
qualifications, and publio spirit in
the consideration of tbis matter, aud do
an act which will make their administra-tion
a benefit and a blessing to our com-uiuuity.
The Western North Carolina
Railroad Arjain.
It is now com.''-ilr-t! that tbe
director* of tbe Weetero North
Carolina Kailroau, recently. pnoint-ed
by the new pnrcbaeere, are not
directors and that there is no sneb
corporation as tbe Western North
Carolina Railroad Company, be
canse it was organ ized oat sic r of
tbe State. The Raleigh Obitrter ot
tbe 3rd inst., cites several decisions
of tbe U. S Sopreme Co irt in snp
port of'he assertion, an.1 utimates
that tht directors In-nig m,lawfully
appointed may responsible for ail
contract* they may make in bel. It
of tbe company—but on this we
ill venture no opinion.
Tbe decisions cited are strongly
in favor of tbe assertion ; but we
have not examined into tbe subject
and do not know after all that it
will affect the public iuteres'.s.
State University Commence-ment
A ptominent gentleman of this city,
who has just returned from Chapel H.ll,
gives na the following items of the Uni-veaity
commencement which took plaoe
on Wedneaday and Thursday of this week.
On Wedneaday morning Hon. A. 8. Mer-rimon,
of Baleigh delivered the addreas
before the two literary societies. It was
pronounced a very fine effort, and was a
practical exposition of tbe dntios ot the
young men of North Carolina to their
Mat*.
The Baccalaureate aermon was deliver-ed
in tbe afternoon by Kev. III. Tuclter,
of Georgia.
At night the repreeentatives of tbe two
societies spoke. The efforts of the yoong
men were highly spoken of, and it was
the general opinion that the speeches
were above the average.
On Thursday over three thousand peo-ple
were present Durham was tepres 'nt-ed
by a gorgeous profession which enter-
.d town at liin'fWk. r. m headed by
■lie Durham Stiver Cornel Bead. The
procession was compo-ed ..f the Durham
Light Infantry, commanded by Col. W.
T. BI'«okwell, and a long line of wagons
gorgeously decorated with fiags and
plumes,and pictures of Uiackwell's "Dnr
ham Bull.*' In an elegant carriage were
Julian 8. Carr, Eaq., and other promin-ent
gentlemen.
Every part of the State was represented
smong tbe vi-itors to theCommeucement, aud
many also from adjoining Stales. Among
the prominent gentlemen r-eeen ivore Gov.
T J Jsrvie, Hon. A. S. Mer.imon, Dr. En
gene Qrisaom, Hon. J C. Searboro • rb, aud
Rev. Dr. Atkinson, of Raleiiih ; H .n. Paul
C. Cameron, of Hillsboro, and Hon«. J. M
Lsach, and F. C. Robbina, of Lexington.
Tbe graduating exercises past>rd off very
pleasantly. The grand ball wb'ch closed lb.
exercises at night, and the hope on Tu day
and Wednesday nights were enjoyable feat-ores
of tbs oommeoeement. The ball ro«>m
waa beautifully decorated aod 'he music was
furnished by Kessoick's Btnu * diebmoud.

The Judicial Nomination in
the Fifth District-
We have been reliably informed, and
it affords us great pleasure to announce,
that Hon. John Manning, of Pittsboro,
has withdrawn ftom the contest for the
Judgeship in this district. We have nev-er
received positive information of Hon.
Thomas Rultin, of Hillsboro, being a
candidate for the Judgeship, but if he has
it is to be hoped that he too will with-draw
in favor of the Hon. John A. Gilmer,
the present incumbent. It does seem
to us that there should be no contest in
this matter, and we trust there will wbe

GRAND CONCERT.
Dr. n'knttUfi &rsie», Fuu—ArlDiipUy, aV.
Along tbe line of tbe North Oar
olina Railroad, half a mile from the
thriving town of Tbomasville, ia a
beautiful grove and garden ot flow-era—
a lovely spot—and in the
midst a large, handsome building :
those oaks there are classic oaks
and tbe spot is a favorite retreat of
yonng womanhood, seeking knowl-edge:—
it is Tbomasville Female
College.
We visited this beantiinl retreat
last Wednesday to witness the
commencement exercises of tbe
College, wbicb, however, had begun
the evening before with a sermon
by Rev. Theo. Wbirfleld, D. D., of
Charlotte. Dr. Wbitfletd drew
irom sotiptoral illustration, ''Wo-man'a
influence," and by preionnd
argument, a happy use of flgnres,
and apt illustrations presented bis
theme io a most interesting manner
and with genuine effect.
The exercises for yesterday morn-ing
were announced to begin at 10
o'clock ami tbe intervening boors
we spent admiring tbe beautilul
works ol art—the products of tal-ent,
so plentiful among tbe young
ladies at tbis college. Tbe paint-ings
which hang on the walls of
the chapel aud parlors were not
mere daubs; -iauy of tbem have
stood tbe oxa: nation of tbe best
American critics. Mrs. M. B. Rein-hart,
tbe instructor in painting and
drawing, is an artist of acknowledg-ed
genins ; her works have been on
exhibition in tbe best galleries in
the conntry and Lave tron for ber
many diplomas and medals of hon-or.
The prudnctions of the young
ladies under Inr instructions-are a
sufficient proof of her ability as an
instructor as well asr..'fiectinn .red-it
upon the young ladies Among
a number of works iu oil and crayon
we noticed several t> hich were
especially attiactive by Misses
I>raogha:i. Heokwitb, Wilson, Cra
rr >r, Tnoaspf a, I'itttaau and Wat-son.
At 10:30 o'clock the audience had
assembled in ihe Chapel. On the
stage were Hon. R P. Dick, of
Greensboro, tbe orator of the day ;
tbe graduating class, and the i'resi
dent, Prof. H. W. Reinhart. In
tbe audience we noticed Rev. Theo.
Whitfleld, D. D., Maj Marshal Peu-nix,
of Lexington, Mayor Dodsou,
of Greensboro, and Rev. C.C. Dod-
Boo, of Tbomasville. Tbe press was
well represented—genial Tom Evans
of tbe Reidsville 7Sm«, Paul C.
Hay nes, of tbe Lexington Exchange,
S. J. Moting, ol tbe High Point
Mercury. C. M. Bernard, Goldsboro
Meuenger correspondent, L. M.
Michanx, of tbe Central Protettant,
and the PATRIOT all nere oreseut
—a line reprrseutatiou of tbe quill
fraternity.
The exercises opened with prayer
by Rev. Dr. Whitfleld, followed by
an anthem, after wbicb Miss Lillian
Gay read the salutatory. Mnsic,
" Hear os, onr lather", preceded
the delivery of school diplomas and
awardiug of distinctions. A vo-cal
solo, "JesoB Lovet of My Sonl,"
Lnrline, by Miss Minnie Reinhart
was beautifully rendered—eliciting
many commeodatious from the ad-miring
audience.
The literary address by lion. R.
P. Dick of Greensboro, was tbe
next order ou the programme. Wiih
bis usual irrepr ■esible good hamor
Prof. Bciubart trodaccd the orat
or of the day. .Judge Dick spoke
on the Bible as an educator. It
was an old subject, be said, but otie
which had an immortal youth. If
tiiis wat, not true he deceived his
andienro by the manner iu which
he presented it: ue certainly made
it appeal oew. Tta seldom wc have
the opportunity of listening *.o such
eloquence as we beard yesterday
Irom the lips of Jnd-e Dick His
speech was tbe effort of a scbol-r :
profound argument, the use of pore
English, pointed illustrations ant'
a true eloqueoce.cbaracteriziug tbe
entire oration. It waa listened to
w'tb marked attention : its effect
was reii ind profound.
An instrumental dnet on three
pianos followed Judge Dick's ad-dress—
after which belles-lettres
diplomas were awarded to Miss
Lillian Gay, of Northampton, N. C,
aod Miss Angnsta Hoenniger, of
Richmond, Va. Full diplomas
were conferred upon Miss Mildred
Fnzgeriald, of Pittsylvania, Va.,
and Miss Ella Howerton, of Tbom-asville.
N. C.
"Call of the Fairies," a vocal trio,
was well rendered. An eeaay by
Miss Ella Howerton, another trio,
and the valedic:ory by M « M. A.
FUtgerald followed. We cannoi
speak too highly of Miss Fitzger-ald,
efftrt : pearly every bod v
declared it to. be tb> best valedicto-ry
they had ever listened to. We
thought so too. It was well writ-ten
aod well read—her reading
afieeting some of her schoolmates to
tears and charming her whole audi
enee.
The graduates and several of the
yoong ladies were the recipients ol
beautiful boquets.
An anthem and the benediction
closed the morning exercises.
Daring tbe dsj we enjoyed the
bojuiitalities of tbe President and
Bp4tll the afternoon socially—finding
tbe lady-principal, Mrs. M. B. lt.-iti
hart, and the entire corps of in-strwciors
exceedingly pleasant, the
yobng ladies so, of course, and Prof.
Beiuhart always bnsy bat always
with a pleasant word lor every body
—making ns happy with his geniali-ty.
At 0:30 p. m., a special train ar-rived
from Greensboro bringing a
party ot young ladies and gentle-men
from tbat city, and all during
tbe evening, carriages were rolling
in from every directiou and the
chapel was filled to its almost ca-pacity
long before the coucert be-eo*"-
We cannot give a full programme
of. the evening's i xercises. Thesuc
cess of the prcgr mime is due lo tbe
able musical instnietora, Misses
Browning and BreWSter, as well as
tbe yo-ing ladiea rendering its parts.
Two recitations by Misses Askew
and Makepeace varied the exercises
with great BOCceas, Miss Minnie
Iteinhart deliglipd the audience in
seven 1 beautiful vocal solo*. Her
voici is stiong, ba» a peemliutly
sweet melody and is equ illy adapt,
ed to sacred or operatic music. MIPS
Bettie Sparrow, it, a solo and duett
exhibited a Voiraol wonderful pow-er
and sweetness and Miss Ilallie
Hall, with less power and perhaps
more sweetness rendered v veral
pieces with b... ;-;. tffeci. The in-strument:.!
marie was v. good
B'ld elicited, (us 1 I all of It. ■ exi r
j cises) many comttiendationa, and
exprveaio ,s of de'igbl from tbe an
dience.
The time was spent so pleasantly
the hours seemed to fly, and before
we could realiz- it we were on tin-midnight
train returning to Greens-boro.
This comrneuceuieiit closed tbe
sixth year of the College under
Prof. Reiuhart's control. Since ihe
iustituliou came itiH) tbe bands of
Prof. Reinhart it has been growing
With great rapidity : its success lias
been remarkable bolh financially
aud in tbe character which it has
gained. Th* course ol study here
is very high ; tbe Instruction is
thorough and Thoinastille ba>
grown to be a synonym ot educa-tional
advancement.
Tbe College building is one ol ihe
finest in the Sonth. A large chapes]
not yet finished has been recently
added, am! the school can now ac-commodate
an hundred and teu or
more boarding pupils.
As North Carolinians we are
proud of this college and we hope
it may ever prosper and be worthy
of tbe position it now holds among
the colleges ot tin- Sonih.

Cincinnati Commercial:—"In case of the

are ebBpiug themselves in tbe op-posite

This paper has greatly deprecated
the unfortunate quarrel now going
on between the friends of Gov. Jar
vis and Judge Fowle, who are re-garded
as rival candidates for the
Democratic nomination tot Govern

and when we thought tbe time

then before tbe people,
promptly expressed a preference for
tbe man of our choice between the
gentlemen then iu the field.
From this morning aod hence-forth,
we propose to advocaxe the
claims of another gen t Irman,against
whom no charge can be brought,

Chat. li. Janet, Etq. :
Mr DEAR SIB —In yoor favor of
tbe .nil nit., you state that it has
been asserted, apparently by author
Ity, that I would not allow my nnne
to go befote the people aa a candi-date
lor the office of Governor, and
tbat you and others desired to know
whether tbis was true. It is well
understood that I am a candidate
for tbe nomination tor Congress lo
my district : aud with my present
experience 1 believe that I can serve
my constituents more efficiently
than ever before. Uufler these cir-cumstances
I say to you frankly
what I have stated time and again
to others, I neither seok nor desire
any other position. On the con
trary 1 have disooun-.ged the use of
my name bclore county conven-tions
in my district for tbe nosniua-tion
for Governor, and restrained
my friends, as far as I could, Irom
any public demonstration to that
end. While this ia so, I must re-pea'
to yon, what I have said to
others who put the question direct
ly, that it from auy cause my party,
in convention assembled, should de-cide
that I a as the proper man to
carry irs banner in tbe coming State
contest (a contingency most remote)
I would do what every loyal Demo-crat
should do, accept the situation
ami devote myself to the work. I
have :tut Inn /-d no statement in-consistent
with this position.
e a • a
Very respectfully,
A. M. SCALES.
This settles it. Gen. Scales
agrees to carry the banner of the
Democracy from Corrituck to Cher-okee,
11 the |>eople desire it. Tbe
time is short that must intervene
between now aud tbe assembling
ot tbe nominating convention—
June 17th—but there is yet time
tor the people to take the matter in
hand and taise a "boom" for Gen.
Scales which will make the welkin
ring from tbe mountains to tbe
seashore. He stands on the plat
form ol I lie s'atesman and feels
that it would be a sacrifice for him
to enter the contest, even at the
call of the party, aud with assured
victory belore him, and yet he is
willing to lead, it called on to do so.
No charges like those laid at tbe
doors ot Jarvis and Fowle, can be
successfully made agaioat General
Scales, aud without saying any-thtug
derogatory against either of
the present candidates for tbe high-est
position wtthiti tbe gift of tbe
people of North Carolina, we be-lieve
ihe time has come, when for
paity harmony and party sutcess,
bolh men should be laid aside, and
some man substituted who will give
us such a canvass as will assure us
'he victory. For weeks tbe con
test going on between tbe friends
of both Jarvis and Fowle, in the
newspapi is, has grown to be very
bitter, and our U.-publiciin friends,
if en loo be notniuated, will need no
beitei authority for the charges
which they will assuredly bring,
than Democratic newspapers aod
Democratic records. 80 one re-grets
this more than we do. We
bavediscoun ■ nancei'sue.hacavnwe
tiom the beginning, but tbe fates
have decreed otherwise, aud now
that the alternative is upou us, we
boldly asaerl tbat tbe time baa
come when the Democrutic party
of Noit'i Carolina must pnt forward
a man whose very name IS the syn-onym
of vicnirv, aud that mania
Alfred M. Scales.
Ue asserts, and very truthfully,
too, that to undertake the cir.ilula
cy with all that the term implies
will be a sacrifice which lew "men
are called upon to make, but he ia
willing to make that sacrifice. He
does not seek the nomination, anil
is only willing to enter the canvass
at th.- spontaneous call of hi* party.
This is paity patriotism which will
generally 'img its reward in the
end. IVe do not believe the people
„i Noi;b Carolina are either on-reaeonable
or nogenerooa, and
wiin a caod>daaj iorJtbi rf.iv-rnoi-
Hbip now may be a sacrifice to Gen.
,S. tie*, it wiil infuse new lib- and
victory* in the Strte as
as will the wheels of time

With Gen. Scares as the leader of
our party.there will be no lagg_"di
in the path of duty; there win be
no skulkers to the rear, because
everybody will impose implicit
confidence In the skill, the bravery
and the ability, not less than the
faultless reevjfd of the commander.
The Observer, as a ro-laborer in
the ranks of the great rjemocratic
party, raises the Scales banner,
from now until the meeting; of the
State Convention, for the good of
that party. U does so without
prejudice to -thcr oi.the gc^g-cn
now before the people, butb_cas.se
the bitter partisan contest through
which we have passed within the
past few week*, has cV.iiio—»aftxd
that defeat is possible with the
nomination of ettirer. This paper
pulls itxk_K wia_io_ the party
traces, but ia the discharge of duty-it
sft-cttaWts becoases neewjiary to
stand op the shose and poiat out
the shoals and quicksands to tbe
party ship. That ship is the sal-vation
of North Carolina, ana on
board of it are the hopes and the

people, around whose waisM- Is chas-kred
the history of mote than a
century, as uasullied and.** untar-nishc—
as the white sand which
lines the beach on Cape liattcras.
The present is an era which calls
for a skilled pilot, cool nerves, a
practical knowledge of the chan-nel,
quicksands and sand bars,
which must be passed, and Alfred
M. Scales is that rnan.
Let the refrain be caught up,
and be borne from city to city,
from town to town, aye, from ham-let
to hamlet, throughout the State
until no man in North Carolina
will hesitate to bow before the bar
of public opinion, which will make
