I'rcsldent Hoynelds followed with a few well chosen rcmatks congratulating the society upon the oicasieu, expressing appreciation of the geed feeling evidenced by the presence of the Yeung Hepublieans, and introducing the Honorable C'hauncey F. Black with the remark that he could net pay him a higher compliment than te say that he had proved worthy of the uaiue he bears. Following are abstracts of the speeches : HON.

Itlack, president of the United Association el Democratic societies ofthe cntire country, sdd he w as delighted te meet the goodly assemblage gatliered wilhluthose rooms; he especially regarded the presence of the Yeung Itcpitbliv.iiisasu hopeful sign; lli.it alone would diveit Mm from un old-fashioned regulation Iku Ien speech. He urged tin Yeung Democrats te deal sellly w itli them, and te lure them en by degrees until the haulness of their IiimiIs was overcome. He knew the Uepublicaus of Lancaster county j they were his neigh bors and friends, and socially and orson erson orsen ally they were mighty geed fellows The speaker narrated In most pleasing style llie story of his father, who, being solicited tu join the llcpubllean ptrty, imide answer that the eulv coiisiilciatlen withholding him was hisLelief in a statu of future to wards and his fear of eternal punishment. It was net the fault of the ltepublic.uis themselves that they were wrong, but the result of their evil principles and false teachings. Thb spoaker then graphically sketched the essential dlllcrencesef the two parties and the entailment upon the later geiioi geiiei geiioi atlen of the llamilteuiau system ; he de picted the great work of the Democratic societies in electing .iell'ersen and the inau guration of Democratic administration, ush ering in sixty years of peace and prosjior presjior prosjier ity. He deplored the use of the word "club" In connection with Democratic associations, aiul urged a uniform system of societies alter the old pattern. He illus trated the power and lutluence of a great chain of these and pUliue I a system w hieh would comprehend the whole country. As picsjiieut of the national association, he -euld honestly say no branch of it undo better show than this pieseut Lancaster siM'iety, and i.nue had warmer place in his icgaril. lie. lllack insisted that he had notcemo te make a spea 'h, and that even if he li.nl, the occasion was net lipulnrit. He complimented the ladies and warmly greeted the nieiubeis el the opposition lirty who attended the leceptien; such amenities he pronounced the chief excelle ice ofthe eciety system and he ii.- ilulgccl llie nope lliai iney uemii cunuiiue. In conclusion he told a humorous story of ex-O'ev.

There w ere renew ed calls for Capt. (Jeise. but he did net coine forward ami the pro pre siding efllcer introduced W. V. Hensel, who speke for about tlfleen minutes. mil iii:nsi:i.'h ui:mhi;s. Mr. Hensel said he was here te night as u member, net as a guest ; he came te join his congratulations' with his associates Uhui tht) success which had crowned their elterts te lnakeauu Deautliy uiese looms. lie cauie te mingle his greetings with theirs te their distinguished guest, the president ofthe great bed of Democratic societies of the w hole country ; and tougue would be unlaithfiil te the premptings of Iho heart did he net recall that at the feet of Ills illustrious lather and himself the speaker learned the principles of Jeller Jeller senian Democracy j in their company he was Inspired te patriotic interest in Ameri can politic; and under his lead we had had followed the standard of the i'enu sylvauia Democracy when, though it was furled In defeat it was never allowed te dip In dishonor. Mr, Hensel said he was no longer a young Democrat j but, te these who weie, .Tie might be permitted te say that net for a generation hud tliere been a time when young men could range themseles,in their cholceof iielltical adulatiens, en mere dtu- linci issues aim ireer irem me innucui-us of tradition and prejudice. We are past the niiestlens of the war; slavery Is dead, the feeling of sectionalism has abated, eiu llnancial system Is established and we me brought face te face with an economic problem. True, parties have divided ujien it In accordance with the old fundamental lIamlltenl.in and Jeflersenian tendencies, but the personnel and leadership of par ie change and, for once, new young men ! pick their iirty iien principle. Thanks le llie courage, me luresigui mm me suuen- uiunthipef G rover CMelaud, the Deuie- emtie tuirty stands mra positive, Mitenulvo Mitenulve eal elieV ; and even If the espousal of It lest an election against a iwpular majority or ever 100,U00 that it would oventually prevail there win be no doubt. Tliere are victories net worth-winning and tliere Is a success which does net always biiecced at first. The speaker said he was tee mindful of the proprieties of this occasion, of the gra cious presence of the ladles and of the Yeung Kcpublicans, te continue a isilllical discussion. Hut ene thought was inspired by this friendly iniugllnir of the young men of Ivetli parties; and that was tne re fining, eleatlng lutluence of such associa tions as these, organized, housed and con ducted as they are. The system Is bound te exercise u healthful liiltucnce en our local politics. Toe long the prevailing cor rupt practices here have been the sliame of all parties. Our iielitlcs have been an ulcer en the body politic. Nowhere hasthe oloe eloe olee tlvo frauchise been held mero lightly than in Lancaster, where year after year hundreds of men uctily sold their votes and thousands would have been disfranchised had their party organi zation net paid their paltry poll tax. New let the two associations, ltcpublican and Democratic, iiuite te lift our ielltlcs from the gutter, and trike hands In supert of a movement te abolish the paid tell com mittees and the payment of taxes for voters. Then out of Uicm) rooms, and these of your rival secicty,shall flew a stream of rc tlniug liitluence.that will elevate the (mil tics of all the state le the standard of loyal cltl7cushlp In a majestic commonwealth.

Frem the day of his election up te the present time PieddPlil lllack has labercsl indcfatigably in the Intel est ofthe clubs, many of which hae stieugtheued their niembership by pursuing the course, of actlve organizations advised by him. Mr. It. t. Monieo was clecled chair man of the executive committee of the National Association of Democratic clubs at the Baltimore convention. In speaking of the alVairser the association us-ently he said : " 1 de iieflhlnlclli.it Piesldent lllack will call the general committee together this fall, but from what I can learn this coiuuiit ceiuuiit coiuuiit teo will be called together in the spring or early in the summer of next year, when arrangements will be perfected in the in teiested ofthe congressional campaign." Concerning the action te be taken by Iho clubs in the New Yerk state campaign, Mr. Menree said : "The executive elllces of the national association, at W William street, N.

New, as the elections te be held this tall aie purely state elections, the con duct of them, se lar as the clubs are cun icineil, will lie wholly in the hands of the vaiieus st.ite associations.

" in Ohie there is every reason te expect that the Democratic clubs will de geed work. Fer that matter, I think that thelr suppeit will very materially strengthen the Democratic party in every state of the Union, as nearly all of the elder and laiger clubs are Increasing In number and iullu ence. The Jeil'ersenlans of Newark are new possessors of a handsome, fully equipped club house, whose rooms are con stantly ciewded by energetic Democrats, who licipicnt them te discuss and piciarc matters tending te further the interests of the Democratic paity. The Yeung Men's Democratic club of Massachusetts have. 1 am happy tu say, Just taken much larger rooms, anil continual rejwrts coine te me of the great iucreasein membership of the ilillcieul clubs icpiesenting the associa tion." wiixt new in lakj: kkik.

Alter ihe court at May's landing, N. .1., had recenv ened en Weanesilay artcrnoeii, Mrs. Dennelly was again placed under cress-examination. Mr?. Dennelly said she had net lived with her husband for ever a year and that they had had tights, but denied that the scar 011 his face was produced by being struck by her with a hatchet. She admitted that she had taken seme whisky In the morning and that she had been drinking whisky with "Jesh" Maun at the Verena house when she started te go te Atlantic avrtiue before the scene In ihe cottage. When she entered Iho room she heard Mr. Hamilton say te Ids wife that he would agree ta glve' her $.i,lK)t) a year, but Mrs. Hamilton wanted ftyieii, saving that $ti!,UX or his liicome was enough for him te live en. She admitted that vv lien she started up stairs "te make Mrs. Hamilton take back what she had said," Mrs. Hupp told her net te. She said that when she went up stairs she did net knew what it was for. She thought she had a right te go into Mr. and Mrs. Ham ilton's bedroom vv itheut inv Itatleu, because the baby, of which she had charge, was there. The slate rested Its ease at half-past 'J, when Counseller Perry ejieiitsl for the defense. He said that the Intention of the defense was te preduce nothing of a sensa tional character, but simply te eiler testimony le prove that the net was oue Justifiable tinder the circumstances. He called Dr. Cresby, the prosecution's witness, who testllied tliat, when he was called Inte the cottage, he found the nursu under the Influence of alcoholic drink. The fact that she vv as intoxicated was noticeable by her actions. The next witness, Hubert Hay Hamilton, walked te the stand with steady step, but was very nervous. Ills testimony was given In a unlet, unhesitating voice, and was net shaken by Prosecutor Thompson's cress-examination. He testified that he was in the room 011 the morning ofthe occurrence. Mrs. Don Den nelly had been in his employ since April, and en ene evening In New "Yerk she 10 t urned liemn in an intoxicated condition nller having the baby out all day. ICarly 011 the morning of the stabbing he saw the nurse In tlie bislroem, but she went out ami did net return for seme lime. Mrs. Hamilton said nothing te the nursu until 10 or II o'clock, when she brought In two letters for him and handed him oue and showed him the ether. He told Mrs. Hamil ton that the miise had another letter for him, and he went in the entry and down stairs te leek for her. He thought that nearly an hour passtil bofeio she ie turned, and gave him the letter. It was then, he said, that his wife discharged the nurse, and he teltl her that she would have te leave, ordercd her from the room, telling her te leave the heuse In the afternoon. Mrs. Hamilton, he said, may have called the nurse seme Indecent name, but the nurse grabbed Mrs. Hamil ton and he endeavored te eject her, but she dung te Mrs. Hamilton and said te her; " (1 d yeu.I'll kill von ;" and te him she said: "Let me at tier. " Mrs. Hamilton raised tlie window ami called for the police. He said that .Mrs. Dennelly was drunk and was very much excited. He lerced her from tlie room, but sliti lettirued in about a miiiute and yelled; "Let me kill her," and seircd Mrs. Hamilton. He had Some dlllicailly in getting the nurse from the room, hut succeeded, with Iho assistance of Mrs. Hupp. Again Mis. Dennelly rushed up thebaclc stairway, and he was lu the hall and seized her. She grappled with him and breku away from liim, and mil down the hallway toward Mrs. Hamilton, who was In the li'ttie room at the ether end ofthe hall. Ile attempted te get the nurse out, butshowasaggressive and used abusive language and struck Mrs. Hamilton, who reached around and stabbed her. Upen cress examination Mr. Hamilton said that his wife did net say mero than oue sentence all tlie timuoxcept te call the po lice. The cut In his trousers, he said, was uiade when his wife reached around him and stabbed the nurse. The coat was net cut, but was tern In the morning. The knife, he salt), had been taken fiem a trunk, together with a gunning outfit, deg w hips, etc., and had bceu placed upon the bed pre paratory te being put in another trunk, which he intended te take te New Yerk. His wiTe picked it up bofero she went te the stairs te tell Mrs. Hupp te take the baby up te the lied room, and laid it 011 the bed near which the stabbing was done. He said that Mrs. Hamilton picked It up when the nurse lushed by him and assaultisl her. In answer te Counseller Perry Mr. Ilitm Ilitm Itteu said that Mrs. Hamilton showed him uuiucieus bruises tin her limbs and body which could net have been produced ex cept at the hands of tlienurK'. lle denied that he mentioned anything of 11 piopescd settlement te Mrs. Hamilton, as chaiged by the nurse, and denied that he had had a light witli his wife. He said, however, that he had seme words, and that he caught his wife bv the wrists but did net strike her, nor did she strike him. They had sH)kcu bcfeie of a sepaiatieu, but it did net amount teauyimiig. uesaiii inai sev eral times he heard the nurse Uneaten te kill Mis. Hamilton. Mr llitvlil It Iiiirnimill m.fmilltl' lihv- sician, the next witness, testllied that lie called upon Mrs. Hainiltei at the jail, and found her Hellering from several cuts and bruises en her limbs, face and body. Mrs. Klizabcth Hupp, pieprietiess of tlie cottage, testilltsl that when she went up stairs she assisted Mr. Hamilton in putting the nurse out of the room. She took the nurse down stairs, but she icturned,aud the w itness again ascended tlie stairs, and, witli Mr. Hamilton's assistance, put Mrs. Don Den nelly out ofthe bed room. The nurse, she said, was very much exclted, and, she tlieught, tinder the inlluciice of liquor. She saw Mrs. Hamilton ralse the bath tub, in the act of striking the nurse, te prevent her onslaught. She heard Mr. Hamilton order the nurse fiem the room. The defendant, Mrs. Hvaugcliue Ilunill Ilunill ten, was then placed en the stand. She was evidently sulferlug from nervous proba tion and frequently gave way te piteous crying. Her evidence, in the main, was corrobor ative or that of Mr. Hamilton and Mis. Itupp. In the morning, she said, she had deter mined te discharge the nurse, and, knew -iug the dangerous character or the woman Dennelly, whom she feared, she sent for a policeman, whom she desired te have In Iho heuse te prevent any fuss. On the ill st two visits Mrs. Hamilton Haiti ihe did net notice that thu nurse was under the liilluence of liquor, but when she brought ill the mail it was noticeable. When in the room, she said, the nurse kicked her, while Mr. Hamilton vvasut-tcmetliiL- te set the nurse out of the room. Mrs. Dennelly rushed at her and liegan te be.it her and tear her clothing. The cloth ing, consisting of a white vv rapper mill un derclothing, was placed in evidence by the defense. It was badly tern all about the neck and skirt. When Mrs. Hamilton went te the end of the hall she win the knife en the bed, and told Mr. Hamilton that it was lucky that tlie nurse had net seen it. She picked it up and walked te the entry and called te Mrs. Itupp te send the baby upstairs se that the nurse could net kill It. Mrs. Dennelly, by this time, rushed up the liack stairway and across the hall toward her, saying; "It's you I'm going te kill ; net the baby." Mrs. Hamilton here wept bitteily and said that she was knocked across the edge of flic bed where she had dropped the knife, and Mrs. Deiiuellv hail hei lingers In wltnchs'iiieuth and herVnee en her stomach. She readus! ever and struck witness under the lelt eye with her list, while Mr. Hamilton was en deavoring te get her away. "I liclievcd that my life was In danger," said Mrs. Hamilton, "and picked up the knife and reached mound .Mr. Hamilton and strut k Mary." I'pen cress-examination Mrs. Hamilton said that she first met Mr.HumiltenluNew Yerk about live yeant nge.and vvattunrrieil te him en January H, lSSs, ill l'airrs'., New Jersey. When Prosecutor Thompson began te I question Mrs. Hamilton, about hci past Ill'e Mr. Perry objected lonianyertliouucs tlens, but the objections vv ere all overruled by the court. She llrst met Mr. Hamilton, she thought, at the home era friend, named Mrs. Ilrewn, en Fetty-llllli street, New Yerk, and the second meeting was en the street.

She did net knew whether or net Jeshua Maun was Mrs. Sw luten's seu. When asked where Iho baby Heatrlee was born, mid whether or net she was its mother, Mrs. Hamilton declined te answer, en Iho ground that It might harm her in ether matters. Judge Heed said that If she believed that her answer would tend te criminate tier she need net reply. She cited sev eral Instances In vv hlch Mrs. Dennelly had told her about assaulting different people and said that Mrs. Don Den nelly encu tehl her that she had struck her husband In the face with a hatchet. .Mrs. Hamilton declared Unit she was afraid or the nurse. Here Ihu defense rested Its case, and, as It was half-lust I o'clock, .ludpe Heed an nounced that the court steed adjourned until Thursday morning, when argument will ls commenced. The general Impression among theso who have listened te tlic testimony Is that the suite's i-ase Is considerably vv cakcurd, and It is generally tlieught In May's Landing that either the Jury will disagree or will return a verdict el net guilty. The punishment for atrocious assault In New Jersey is an Imprisonment for a term net exceeding ten yeais, or a line of net unto than $1,1)00, or both, ItKADY t'Olt Till'. .H'HV.

The court did net open this morning for con tinuing the trial of Mrs. Kva Hamilton ler atrocious assault upon Nurse Mary Don Den nelly until 10:15 o'clock.

Till: IIUltKAU OF EDUCATION. Commissioner Dnvvstm's ltcpert On Iho Growth or the Publle .Scheel System. J. N. II. Dawsen, the commissioner of education, lins tiled with the sccretary or the Interior Ids annual lopert for Iho year ended June no, ISMi, In tlie course or vv lilch he says that rrem an aualvMs of the statis tics or publle schools Ter the deeade lSirt-77 te 1SS0-S7, it appears that Iho growth of the system, considering Iho vvhole country, outstripped during that crled the growth of imputation, the excess or the Increase or enrolment ever tlie Increase in population, six te foil rt ecu years or age, being l.d per cent. This gain, the commissioner says. Is due entirely te the progress of thu public schools in the Southern sections, ami mero especially In the b'euth Central division. Here the Increase tr enrolment shows an excess ever Iho Increase or imputation never bofero paralleled In a country se long settled. The sentiment In favor of fi-ce schools mppertcd by public funds, he savs, Is be coming each' year mero universally preva lent. The publle school systems of the Southern slates have been undergoing an uupict-cdcntcd development, under laws adapted in each casatoleu.il circumstances, and me new practically all established en a permanent basis. Colored children are ap portioned an equal share of the school funds, unless In the state of Delaware, antl their schools are kent etien as letur and as well paid teachers as these of the vv bite children. The funds for the support of these schools Is furnished mainly by the white Inhabitants; and alter making due allowance for all the sums that have been furnished fur the education or the negroes thrniiuh private sources or benevolence anil through taxes raised among themselves It may still bn said that Ihu children or (huse once held In sorvilude In the Seuth ure being educated by the sous eftlitlr for mer masters. In discussing the conditions affecting public, education In our country, he con tinues, the necessity that the Southern states are under of maintaining two separate systems should Ihi beruu in inliid. It Is apparent that these states are at present the least able tu maintain oue system In an elite lent maimer. The statistics show that about HI percent, of the white population of sciioei age 111 1110 Miuiiieill slates is en rolled, while urthe colons! population only about Kl per cent. In Iho District of Co lumbia 11I0110 docs the colored enrolment, considered III relation te the colored ihiiiii- latleu of school age, exceed the enrolment urthe whlte population or school age. Compulsory education, the commissioner says, forms no feature of the Southern school system. "The arbltiary proceeds lugs," he adds, "which a compulsory at tendance law suggests, lis Inquisitorial methods, Iho Intel lerem-e or the state lu the parental control or children, the elftst upon parents of sending their children te school under compulsion, lu thu Impair ment of that self respect which lies at thu basis of character and geed citizenship, would seem te render a compulsory at tendance law 1111 Instrumentality te be resorted te only In suppress a great and crying evil." lu the coin se of his lemaiks upon public schools lu our principal cities Ihu commis sioner says: "In no department of city school work Is Improvement mere maul rest than in the primary schools, ami this for the reason, peihaps, that in them lliore was the greatest room for Improvement, The number uf cities lu which the inox inex perlenctsl (eachers am habitually assigned te the Institution el the youngest children is rapidly diminishing: Indeed In many places the primal v pupils are nuw taught by the most etllclenl ol'the leaching force.

" The commissioner regicts his inability (e report a geueral adoption of physical training lu the public schools, and says that though thousands of dollars have been Invested lu apparatus te be used in Iho development of the mind, no pro pre gross lias as yet been made for strengthen ing the body, upon whose sound condition ellectlve mental cll'erl greatly depends-.
