Whereas, Information has been re-

the United States and others residing
therein, are engaged in organizing and
fitting out a military expedition for the
invasion of Cuba. And whereas the said
undertaking is contrary to the spirit and
express stipula.ions Of treaties between
the United States and Spain, derogatory
to the character of this nation, and in
violation Of the obvious duties and OBJ
legations of faithful and patriotic c;ti-
Eens And whereas it is the duty of
the constituted authorities of the
United States to hold and maintain
the control Of the great question of
peace or war, and not to suffer the same
to be lawlessly complicated under any
pretense whatever. And whereas to
that end all private enterprises of a hos
tile character within the United States
against any any foreign power with
which the United States are at peace,
are forbidden, aud declared to be high
misdemeanor by an express act of Con
gress. Now, therefore, in virtue of the
authority vested by the Constitution in
the President of the United States, | do
issue this proclamation to warn all pet
sons that the General Government claims

to give tomorrow the names Of the gen

we hope TO see the subscription go on
with a vigor and heartiness worthy of

TROUBLE at CoLuMBM COLLEGE
The entire Sophomore class at Column
bia College, New York city, were OK
PEELED from the institution on Thursday.
The class have been for some months
past dissatisfied with certain arrang.
ments of the Board respecting them,
and have taken frequent opportunities Of
manitesting their discomfort in the pres
encc of the President. Three or four
Of the members were recently dismissed,
but the class still continued intractable
A number of torpedoes were few days
ago discharged in the presence of the
President. The class were called upon
to reveal the names OF the offenders, but
refused to do So, and consequently they
were all expelled. The whole difficulty
has arisen from the action of the trus-
tees in the selection of a professor of
chemistry, it being charged that they
rejected DR.. Walcott Gibbs because he
was Unitarian.

Official Standard of Public Morality.

Among those portions of the late Presiden-
tialmessage universally admired and approved
was that in which high standard of morality
and honorable character were alluded to as
requisite among the employees of government
The press, without distinction Of party, cannot
fail to applaud such sentiments as these -
With increased vigilance does it require US
to cultivate the cardinal virtues of public fru-
gality and official integrity and purity Pub
lie affairs ought to be so conducted that set
tied conviction shall pervade the entire Union,
that nothing short of the highest tone and
standard of public morality marks every part
of the Administration and Legislation of the
general government.
We do not hesitate to express our judgment
that these are the honest and Interchangeable
purposes of the President-those with which
he entered upon the discharge Of his high sta
ton, and which it was his firm intention to be
guided. Argus.
