Mr.. Robertson of Lou. rose TO propose

perhaps more useful to the nation. He
did not mean TO enter at all into the

ment or the persons employed but as
the institution exists, he meant TO make
a proposition, which would render it more
credllable tothe United States than il is
at present, however we'll managed. If
youths were TO be educated at the pub
lie expense, Mr.. r. said he should like TO
see some ruleestablished by which those
should receive this privilege who had
some claim 10 it. He did not wish the
institution TO be filled by the sons of the
influential aud the wealthy only.
