STAUNTON SPECTATOR.
--aDs'FAUNTON: sza''--
WEDNESDAY. july II. 1885
1vnsnineton CoIlege.

We learn that the commencement exercises
which were held at this institution last week
were attended by an unusually large and lnteIII-
cent audience. In the graduating class old Au'
ousta was. according to her custom, most cred''a-
bly represented-comng in for the Hons share o.
the honors. Mr.. d. Rhodes Massie, OF "aynes-
borouuh, delivered the Cincinnati Grafton, and
MIR. John NJ. Guy, Of Middle River, the valedIc
tory addresses.
In opposition to the general downward tenden-
cy of collegiate scholarship, Washington College
undertook, a few years since, to elevate It's stan
dard to the very highest mark and not merely te
graduate none but such as stood the most rigid
tests of scholarship, but also to admit none to the
classes without most searching examination III
advance. This had the effect, at first, to dlmln-
ish the number of matriculates by rejecting apPll-
cants not sufficiently advanced, but it is compen-
stated by the reputation il is gaining for the col
leue in the high standing of its students who read
ily by their superior attainments take the first
rank as teachers, students or professors In other
institutions. And while the number now at the
College is not 50 great as it has been in former
times, yet we are glad to learn it is steadily in
creasing every year.
The test for admission to the first class in
Washington College may possibly be little too
strong for policy, as excluding some who might
become on trial good students ;-the graduation
test may still be, as it ought to be, high. Some,
we are informed, have in fact been rejected there
and were admitted to other colleges, where they
maintained themselves well. ButItwould doubt
less be better for the cause of education in gener-
al if all the Colleges would adopt this policy
Since the old system of grammar schools, Pas at
tached to colleges, was dispensed with, the stan
dard of admission has been too much lowered in
our higher institutions, and the Colleges, inclu-
ding the University of Virginia particularly have
come in direct competition with the academies
and primary classical schools of the State, and
promise at present to crush them all, We ought
to have some more organized and harmonious, not
conflicting educational system in Virginia.

stagna;ion.

Business of all descriptions is just now in a
complete state of stagnatiou in Stauuton. In our
line of business we have never known such a
dearth as there has been during the last few
weeks. 1t is doubtless attributable, in some de-
gree. to an unnecessary alarm on the part Of per-
sons in the country, in regard to the prevalence
of Small Pox at this place In the town no sort
of uneasiness is felt, and we take occasion to as
sure our country friends again, that there are no
new eases, and but one single case has proved IA
tall The disease has presented itself here in its
very mild,st form-so mild that many persons be-
lieye it is nothing than ohickvn-pUA.

The National American.

! The Richmond Penny Post has been purchased
by an association OF members OF the American
party and merged into new paper bearing the
above title. The principal editors are Messr'
James E. Heath and William NJ. Semple. Mr.
Heath is we'll known to the people of Virginia a:
for many years the First Auditor Of the State, anc
also as gentleman of fine literary taste and &C
quirements; Mr. Sempe was formerly editor o
the Richmond Mall and is an able and spirited
writer. Both gentlemen have our respect, ant
best wishes for their success, personally and polit
ically.
We do not understand whether the "Nationa
Americas" is started as merely private enter
prise, or formally as the ''organ" of the party IL
Virginia. If the latter, we must regard it as
mistake. The history of papers of this kind
shows that they have generally done more harm
than GOOD to the cause advocated. Every editor
however intelligent and prudent, is liable to err
and if he processes to speak as the mouthplece Of
party, all his blunders are seized upon by adver-
sares and used to the prejudice of the party
We have no doubt that the ''Amercan Organ
at Washington has done injury in this way, and
it is apparent that the ''Union" has contributed
very much to break down the Pierce Administra-
ton. We are satisfied that the true policy fol-
every party is, to leave such matters to individual
enterprise, and if paper take upon itself the of
flee of organ, the party should hasten to inform
the nnblic that it is not responsible for the editors
course or opinions.
We intend these remarks to have general APP
plcation. So far as the editors of the "National
American" are concerned we have the utmost con-
fdence in their discretion and in the soundness OF
their political views.

Now York Politics.

The Hard Shell wing of the Democratic party
held great mass meeting in New York city, on
the 9th ut. The resolutions adopted on inc
subject of slavery were national and conservative;
but the resolution of special congratulaton 10 'he
Virginia Democracy uncovers truth which the
said Democracy, says the Lynchburg Vlrgnlan,
would much prefer, we doubt not that their lndlS-
Greet Northern brethren had kept in the dark
1--WE attribute their success" they say, In offer
inc CONGRATULATIONS to ''the Democracy OF Virgin
ia upsn their late victory" ''lo the absence q
anu endorsement by them OF the Administration
the contrary course having produced the absolute
overthrow of our party in other States in the late
contests and we recommend" they add, "that
in our own State, with n view to future success"
reputation Of The administration be insisted up
on. by which means and by union upon the nom
Intervention platform can consolidation of Dem
ocrats alone be secured, and triumph obtained for
our cause"
The Soft Shell Democrats have recently had
celebration also, under the auspices Of the
.Young Mems Democratic Union Club of the
CITY of New York" MIR. Wise, Of this State,
was invited to attend this meeting, and wrote in
reply, ''My heart and soul are with you, with all
my might" The Petersburg lnleligencer, com
menting upon these words, says:
"Here we have the beautiful and encouraging
spectacle of the Governor elect of the largest
siaveholding State in the Union, writing to a
Committee Of the Soft Shell party of New York
that his s'heart and soul are with them, with all
his might" Now who are the Soft Shells of
New York to whom Mr.. Wise pledges this un-
limited adherence? Are they the men of ma
tionaI politics or of mere sectional purposes Are
they men who can be relied upon to assist in dri-
wing back the tide of ianaticism which threatens
to oyerwhelm the country and render fruitless 10
us those immortal principles solemnly declared 70
wears ago this day? Who dare give an afIirma-
tive response to any of these questions? Who
dare DENY that these Soft Shell men are but little
better than Abolitoniss-th that they are Free Soil
ers, and swear by the principle that there shall
be no more slave States added to the Union e
And vet it is into the arms of such people that
the Governor elect of Virginia has thrown himself
"heart and soul, with all his might" Henry A.
Wise pigging in the same style with John A.
Dix, John Van Buren,, John Cochrane, &C., Sc,
is glorious spectacle, and we commend it to the
ardent admiration of the Virginia Democracy who
will no doubt throw up their caps on this account
and give an additional huzza for Henry A. Wise"

The Crops, sc.

At this time the people generally feel more in
tcrest in regard to the crops, and kindred subjects
than in any other matter. We therefore publish
in this paper articles from: various exchanges,
which relate to the subject. 1t appears that the
yield Of wheat throughout the country is abun-
dant, and other crops are in promising condition.
There is no longer fear of want, but we shall
have large surplus Of agricultural products with
which to relieve the pressure occasioned by the
failure Of last years crops.
Surely the people Of the United States are
highly favored by divine Providence, and have
much cause for thanksgiving. Nearly the whole
Of Europe is agitated by war; and Mexico, on our
own borders, is torn by internal strife. We.
however, are at peace with all the world, the
earth IS yielding her increase in rich profusion,
and no devastating pestilence is wasting any part
of the land. Yet we have discontinued spirits a
mongst US, who are striving to bring upon the
country the evils which alIlict other nations
I'VE are disunionists," exclaims the Southern
agitator, and "DVwn with the Union" cries his
Northern co-laborer. That the schemes of these
men may be defeated, and the country be permit
ted to continue in its career of unexampled pros
perity, must be the earnest prayer and effort Of
every good citizen.

Travel to the Springs is beginning TO be brisk
and lively. Owing to the unusually hard times,
however, and the fact that there has as yet been
no appearance of Cholera,n the lower country, it
is probable that the rush will not be so great this
season as it was few years ago. 1t is to be
hoped that many who have been in the habit of
paying an annual tribute to the North, by making
long sojourus at Cape May, Saratoga and other
Northern Watering places, will this season aud
for all time to come. spend their money and their
time at our own Yirginia Springs.
