The exercises will take place at the Lyceum Hall, and it is hoped that the public gciuirally will attend. As will be seen by Mr. Mack’s letter in another column, by advice of the Executive Bogrd of Patrons, it lias been dc- Veriuiped to charge a small ad mission feu, which will be applied first to the expenses incident to the exhibition, and whatever remains Will be used fqr the furniture and absolutely nefcessary repairs to the pc bool building- Mr. J. H. Muck was called to the Alltuu Academy last January, and toiuce then under many disadvantages fias been laboring faithfully and efii- eitmfJy to build up a creditable school. The pupils appear to have made uousiderulile progress in study and their general deportment has been excellent. With increased facilities and additional encouragement, this gcaloua teacher will be able to obtain far more satisfactory results at the cud of another session. The school hits beeu supported entirely at private expense, not a dollar haying been re ceived from the County.

A panic almost among the list of students the names of Miss B *l!e Miller, of Graniteville, and O. E. Gunter, of Beulah, Mr- Mansel Gunter writes us the ! following note concerning it: Beulah, S. C., June J2th, 1885. Col. Drayton: Dear Sir: I send you a catalogue The Aiken I*ostmastership. Mr. Cleveland continues to make appointments but they come so slow that we oftii form no estimate as to when our Republican Aiken Post master will be removed. His term expires in October, but perhaps the tnug-wump influence may secure his reuppointmtmt, It seem* strange, however, that in view of the many capable gentlemen applying for ihe office, Congressman Tillman should hot make some effort to secure the re moval of the tips offensive partisan, who has never discharged the duties of his office hi person, although a money order office, and has frequent ly been absent for months at a time from the Btate. More than this, at one time Postinaster Chat field managed a Cincinnati Brass Foundry, in the Btnte of Connecticut, at a lucra tive salary while his Aiken Postmas tership hundreds of miles away, was sahs11ip secured him the iMisition over others of his own crowd who wore applying, anil yet |his js the man who is permitted to retain one of the best postal appoint ments in the .State. Charleston Collectorship. On Saturday the News and Courier contained Congressman Dibble’s promised statement, and yesterday the same paper contained Mayor Courte- Rey’s rejoinder. Wo ace nothing in Mr. Dibble's statement to disprove the records of the Muster in Equity, which prove conclusively to any right thinking honest man that Mr, Mowry Is not by any means the sort of per- aon to he invested with an important public trust. In regard to the contro versy between Messrs. Dibble and Courtenay, we would only remark that prior to the passage of the anti- lluoUiug- Jaw such articles would have certainly been attended with serious consequences. Now the matter is dif ferent, as it is impossible for repre sentative men to hold office who either acceptor send a challenge. In our opinion it is very questionable whether the code duelo did not exert a very wholesome influence upon so ciety, elevating its tone and fixing per sonal responsibility with such dis tinctness that the good results were f; y )U excess of the injuries, At any rate no man dared to write such tilings, as arc written now without being pre pared to risk his life on the issue. Brutality and course ness may now be indulged in with impunity, as it can only be avenged by murder or by a far cical civil suit. We have wiped out the practice of duelling but lias society been improved? That is the question. »ir of the I.eusvjlle Institute. I have been patronizing it for ten months, and think it the best school in the State of the grade. Why can’t Aiken do something like it? * Yours truly, - M. Gunter. The following compose the faculty : Rev. 1j. E. Bushy, A. M., Principal, Natural Sciences, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Logic and Elocution. D. B. Busby, A. M., Presiding Offi cer, Higher English, Classical and Commercial Branches. Mrs. M. E. Busby, First Assistant, English, Instrumental Music, and Fancy Needle Work. Mrs. M. K. Smitlnleah Second As sistant, Instrumental Music. Mrs. S. A. Busby, Third Assistant, Fancy Needle and Flower Work. The school term is divided into three sessions, and commences August 17th and ends May. 28th. It is somewhat remarkable that just beyond our County limits two such flue Institutions should exist in a little town of pot more that) three hundred inhabitauts, while Aiken has accom plished so little in behalf of her own white children. It is rather amusing, however, that the namesof these Institutions should be the same, with tiie slight difference of the word “proper.” The one called “The Leesville English and Classical Institute,” is as we understand, un der the patronage of the Methodists and Baptists. The other called “The Leesville English and Classical Insti tute Proper” is under the patronage of the Lutherans. Roth are excellent Institutions, and as both are proper and neither improper, we advise our friends to make some better arrange ment about names, as the present plan is confusing. We hope before very long to visit Leesville, when it will afford us pleas ure to meet Mr. Busby and hear more concerning his excellent academy. As both of these Institutions are bidding for the patronage of Aiken and the adjoining Counties, they will oousult their own interests by no longer hiding thoir light under a bushel, but by coming out openly and advertising through the columns of The Aiken Recorder. The Cholera in Spain. Madrid, June 14*—Two new cases of cholera were reported in this city to-day and 7 deaths.

At the caucus on Thursday night, as stated in our dispatches, Senator Blair was re-nominated, and, as the Republicans have a majority of 94 on joint ballot, it is highly probable that lie will be re-elected. It is just possible that Chandler, al though beaten in caucus, will under take to defeat the caucus candidate in thejoint assembly. It will be remem bered that two years ago there was a very bitter fight for the Senatorship when a successor to Senator Rollins was chosen. The caucus recommen dation was disregarded by many. Chandler was in that fight, and his defeat only Inspired him with the be lief that he would succeed two years later when the time came to choose a ‘successor to Senator Blair, Again he has been disappointed, and it would not be surprising if his career in poli tics, although not admirable in any respect, had come to an end.
