from duty. He can now let that hole alone.
Dog as he is, he has found it little irksome
to bark incessantly at one cayity-evcn after
his canine instinct had told him there was
nothing in it. He sneaked off late last night,
with his tail between his legs-capering Il

MEssRs. ED1roRs: It is privilege the senior class
of the University has long exercised in electng
some one to preach the Valedictory Sermon, at the
commencement of their graduation. They have
done this without reference to scctarianisn-invi-
ting the person whom they may think proper. This
right although it has not been directly or of itself
assaed, the manner in which it has been exercised
has met with the criticism of portion ofthe
press throughout the State, because Archbishop
Hughes was elected. 1t should be recollccted by
those who reprimand the senior class that ours is
christian not sectarian constitution; the Legisa
ture of the State being subject to this constitution
elect trustees without reference to church, and those
trustees select the faculty, who are the immediate
guardians OF the University; but at the same time
not requiring them to be members of any or any
one particular church.
But in writing this article it is rather to rcfute
false reports and set the public right than to vim
dictate this action of the senior class, for they can
find sufficient vindcation in the above facts.

the reason Archbishop Hughes will not preach the

the class to rescind the invitation. This report has

Some of the faculty, indeed, may have expressed
unwillingness to the Bishops attending but they
know too we'll the rights of the class to make any
avowed opposition to the invitation; and l assure
you that the faculty took step to prevent the

the matter is, that Archbishop Hughes declined.

reputation of the University, when they conceive
