Steinway Hall was comfortably ful! last evening, the occasion being the prize debate between the literary societies of the Co.lege of New York. This debate was instituted tm 1868 by Mr. James Keliy, who gave $1,000 for two annual prizes or medais for the best debaters in the literary societies of the college. Each of the socteties—the Clionian and the Phrenccosmian—hus the right to choose three debaters to contend for the annual prizes on a sub- ject named by the Board of Education. The subject last night was upon the form of government best sulted to France, Julius J. Frank, Avraham Biwno and Charles E. Lydecker, of the Clionian Soci ety advocating a mouurchy; and Daniel Bontecon, J. Hampaen Dougherty and Abraham Stern, of the Phrenocosmian Society, speaking in behalf of a re- public. All the speakers acquitted themselves well, though neither side made out a very strong case iy behalf of its favorite mode of governing the French people. The best speech of the evening was the clo: argument of Julius. J. Frank, and after him some of the best points were made by Abraham Stern, All spoke with a DISTINCINESS OF UTTERANCE that was remarkable in men so young, making their first effort at extermporaueous speaking before a large audience, the sweetness of modulation and tone with which Hampden Dougherty set forth his views being especiaily noteworthy. But where all Gid 80 well comparisons are almost invidious. The Judges, by whom the prizes are to be awarded, are Nelson J, Waterbury, Richard Warren, Andrew Mule and Frederick Smyth. Their decision will not be announced till tue commencement of the col- lege. The judges occupied seats on the platform, which was also graced by the presence of ident Wevb and a number of distinguished gentlemen, fiends of the college. As was fitting on the occa- sion of a discussion on French politics the pro- gramme had an air of Frenchiness about it, even the masic by the orchestra being selected from such representaulve French masters as Otfenbach and Auver. The exercises were opened with prayer by the Rey. Dr. Carpenter, which was followed by @ short address trom the President of the college, ex- plaining the nature of the prizes and announcing the presence in the audience of the gentieman to whom the college and its friends owed this unigue entertainment.

The orator favorably unpressed his audience from the start, Afler the music the next thing in order was the poem, “The King’s Choice,” which was very good. ‘The congregation next repaired to the chapel, when the class ivy was planted. The chape: is of stone, and one end 1s hterally covered with the ivy planted by former classes. The ivy oration was then delivered by Rev. EB.

The class then forming in a circle proceeded to smoke the class calumet, a beautiful meerschaam, not without some conghing, to the uninitiated, how- ever; and then the class history was read by C. W. Doty, Morristown, N.Y. This ‘was humorous and evidently appreciated by the class, as the unincky adventures and mishaps of the different persons were touched tpon.

THE WOMAN HURDER NEAR BALTIMORE, Four Maryinnders Kill an Inoffensive Girl— The Most Cold-Blooded Murder of the Day—She is Pursued es a Suspicious Cha- racter, Shot Mortally Wounded « Left to Die by Her Slayer Without Asy Farther Concern. {From the battimore American, June 27.) One of the reporters for the American paid a visit to the Towsentown Jail yesterday, and had an inter- view with ail the parties charged with the murder of the unknown girl on Friday night at Chase’s station, near the Philadelphia Kauroad. ‘the parties were all communicative, and readily answered the questions put to them. Joseph League, the party who fired the shot whicn it is supposed killed the girl, is about five feet Ten inches in height, well built, anburn-haired, with @ defect in one eye, Which gives a somewhat sinister appearance to a countenance otherwise mild and Ere ceeeemiog: He looked to be about twenty years o age. The reporter first addressed himself to League, who said he had never heard of the unfortunate girl until Friday night, when he was aronsed from his slumbers between eleven and twelve o'clock. Hughes, Wilson and Ahrens, accompanied by Wheeler, the colored man, who lived at Wilson’s house, came to his honse and called him up to go aleng with thera for the purpose of arresting this woman, whom he regarded as @ suspicious character. tHe got up and took his gun with him. They proceeded down the ratiroad to- ward the crossing of the Ry fo Bouldin, who lived in the same house with , Joined them. Bouldin fired bis pisto) tm the air, hen they passed the crossing they saw something white tn the ditch, about twenty-nine steps from the railroad, and they halted. The giri raised and said, ‘Look out, you I am going to shoot.” John Abrens said, ‘Stop; let’s reason with her; ask her to go home with you. This isnot a fit place for a woman to be at tnis hour of the night.’ And addressing the woman, ‘‘Why didn’t you take the cars or some conveyance to the city? You ought not to be roaming around the country in this manner; come, go liome with us.’ League said the giri talked in a coarse voice, and he thought she was a man in woman's clothes. When she made the re- Mark quoted above he fired at random, After the gun was fired they ail left the spot, agreeing to come back inthe morning tosee whether the girl had received any injury, All he knew about her was what be heard when the party called for him at MMs house, He had not heard any of the ramors in the neighborhood about{the girl. He did not believe she had been in the neighborhood for thre: four days. She probably did not make her appearance untul Friday afternoon, Wilson and Hughes said that abont nine o*cloc Friday evening the giri came to their house and asked Wilson to carry ner to a place two miles on the Philadelphia pike. She said money was no ob- Ject with her; that she would pay $10 im advance After they had tixed up the wagon she refused to ay In advance and said she had been often fooled nthat way. They took the horse out. She cursed and swore and said she was not beholden to any- body. She was about five feet five inches high. Her outerciothing was handsome, but her underclothing was very much soiled. She talked sensiply at this time, but down at Mrs. Les. lies, at the station, she talkei incoherently, ax though her mind was wandering. Aller sie left Wiison’s they went ont to watch her. They were afraid she would commit some crime. They went to League's nouse, as they were afraid to go by them. selves, When they had obtained the assistance of League they went to a colored man’s house to sce if she had been there, but didn’t find her. They then walked down the railroad to the crossing; Wiison saw a white object im the ditch. She heard them coming and raised and cursed them. Bouldin fired the pistol before they got to the crossing and before they saw the woman. When tie woman enrsed league fred. She was growling and qaar- reliing alter the gun was fired. They thought she was a mau in woman's clothes, that she was spying and might bave a crowd bid tu tie neighborhood to make @ raid. Wheeler corroborated the testimony of Bouldin, ana further said that when the young giri made the Temark that she would shoot, League said, “You will, will you’ and fired, and they all ran across the railroad; he heard one groan after the snot was fired; they made an agreement that they would come back the next morning and see what injury had been done to the girl; he had seen her the day before and thought she was deranged. The above empodies the statements of al) engaged in the killing of vais poor creature. No cine w ber identity has as yet been obtained, nor ts it likely that any can be discovered until her body is ex- hamed and some of the clothes which she had on at the time of the occurrence recovered, A German ri in the employ of Dr. Busicy of Towsontown, left fiw house Last lay and has not since been heard of. She was laboring under an aberration of mind at the time. In some respects se corresponded with the description given of the murdered girl.

An effort was made yester- day to obtain the release of the parties im; a by giving bail betore a justice of the at Tow- sontown, but Judge Grason was very decided in his inion that the case had gone beyond the jurisdic- jon of @ mnagistrate. The prisoners, throngh their counsel, R. R.

Dr, MeCosh did the weicouing, and aiter the party in wailing had been presented to the President, who shook hands with all, the carrlages were filled and driven to we back of the College grounds, Te band which was stationed there® played “Hail to the Chiei,” which communicated the fact of the arrival to the students, who were drawn up in front of Nassau in two lines, one on ach side of the pathway over which the party had to pass to gain the steps in front of the Library. ‘The young gentlemen uncovered as the President, leaning on the arm of Dr. MeVosh, passed in tueir midst, they closing in after him, On the steps were gathered the balance of the trastecs, and around it clustered the ladies and gentlemen visitors. Dr. McCosh then introduced the President to the asscm- bled company in the followmg terms:— .

Well, the debt has been reduced #0 much that it would take Professor Duiield and Professor Alex- ander ail day to compute it, and with the reat o” his poley all the world ix acquainted.

THE PRESIDENT’S SYRECH. ‘The President was about to speak, when the band played “Yankee Doodle.” At the conclusion of that patriotic meiody the President sald:— G GENTLEMEN OF PRINCETON—I aid not come ‘speak, but to listen. I purpose to follow the maxim yon just heard and to listen with my two ears to what a tistinguished graduate of Priuceton bas to say to You. “Iam very giad to meet you. More cheers, with “Huish! boom ! ha!” followed, and Dr. McCosh annonaced that the President would be present, in @ very few minutes, at the gymui sium. True to his word, General Grant, after leav- ing his duster at the Doctor's house, entered the fine gymnasium, where a very well executed Indian club drili was gone through by twenty of the stu- dents, under Professor Goidic’s leadership. This was followed by some daring athletic featson the double trapeze, by Messrs. Fiagler and Michael, of the senior class, which elicited frequent applause, A somersault exhibition was now given by some ten of the young gentlemen, and the party waiked round to the front of Nassau Hall. Rere a number of prominent tn:tividvals were pre- sented to the President. Among the first was Frank Blair. They looked at each other with a curious, pleasant smile, a8 much as to say:. ‘You see I’m in the White House, still, Frank.’ “You've put me in the Senate, after all, Lys.” Whether they really expressed thts to each other it is hard to say; but they certainly chatted plea- santly for afew minutes, eagerly watched by those around. Another of the presented was General McCook, democratic candidate for the Governorship of Olio, who is about to send iis son to Princeton. Next came Governor Randolph, of New Jersey; but all were received smilingiy, as gentlemen should be on such an occasion. ‘The only comment on the action worth repeating was the sage remark of a colored waiter at the door of one of the hotels:— “Golly, dere’s a chance faw Blah, afer all. He hab shave his mustache and he chin wif Gen’) Grant.” A procession was formed and proceeded to the Fitst’ Presbyterian cuarch, where every available seat was instantly filled. On a large baize-covered platform atthe back the guests and distinguished visitors Were seated. On either side of the President it Secretaries Robeson and Belknap, both Prince- ton graduates; Generals Blair and McCook and Governor Kandolph, ot New Jeracy, sat in a group. Among other notables were Dr. McLean, ex-presi- dent of the college; Senator Frelinghuysen, General Myer, of the Signal tpl yen Professor Michie, of West Point, General Meade, General Drum, Gene- ral Porter, old General Cadwallader, &c. After iusic by the band Dr. Mecosh announced and asked the reporters to note that the Board of ‘Trustees had decided to allow an extra week's vaca- tion, so that college would convene on the 18th of September next. He then introduced General Bel knap, giving a sketch of his college career, and §: ing that although Aimerica treated her public men harshly he had heard of no attack on him. Ile nad consented that day to address the literary societies of the college and their friends, and, in the name of the College, as Its President, he thanked higw GENERAL BELKNAP’S ADDRESS, Ii fs the sane old Princeton stiil. ‘The ground on which we seems sacred, The very alr revives the memories of long gone.

Second Grand Concert at the Rink. THE CLOSING CEREMONIES TC-DAY, We fear very much that the open-handed hosple tality of New York aisplayed towards the visiting societies will subject these singers to a severe course of discipline and penitential exercises on their re- turn to their homes. ‘Chis hospitality militated ter- ribly against the proper rendering of the programme jast night. There were only three vocal works on the bili—‘Praise of Music” (Billeter), to be sung by the eleven Daltimore societies; Waeckel’s Song of, Spring,” for which twenty-two | Philadelphia societies were responsible, and Gernsheim’s dramatic and soul-strring “Salamis, the Tri- umphal Song of the Greeks,” rendered by the full chorns of all the societies. whis pro- gramme was not carried out, as the Baltimoreans forgot to bring thelr music books, and therefore could not sing a note, aud the Philadelphians made one Of the Most mexcusadle Hascos it has ever been our experience to listen to, This flasco was caused by some of the tenors, just at that time, singing out of tune aud wanderiug about hopelessly in search of the lost key. We regret wis very much, especially as some of the Philadelphia societies acquitted themselves very creditably im the prize singing. ‘The composition they selected was not an agreable one either, and at the best they could not have pro- duced any e‘fect with tt. As aa offset to the forget- fminess of the Baliimoreans Mr. Paur gave the grand chorus, Rietz’s ‘“Morgenilea,” the same that was sung on the preceding evening, ‘The eifect was not more than one-third of what was pro- duced on the former occasion, Even Gern- sheim’s wer song, that created such a furor when sung by ‘the Liederkranz Soctety im their own bali, did not seem to bedelivered with the requisite fire aid spirit, and certamly the body of tone that caine irom the crowd of singers on the stage Was no more powerlul than we have heard Jrequently at Liederkrauz Hall. This may be caused: by the enormous svace Beceeent to fll at the Rink, but we think that it was partly due to the fact thet no stnail proportion of the chorus did not take any! uctive part in the music, ‘The only part of the programme that was deserv~ ing of critical praise and was absolutely faultless Was the orchesiral.
