Messrs. Wade and Davis.

Senator Wade, of Oaio, aud Henry Winter
Davis, OF Maryland, have put forth docu-
meut of great bitterness, which is seized upon
by the vil.st copperhead papers with The avid
ity of buzzard for bit OF tainted Nest.
The Argus has extracted from it OF course.
The Boston Advertiser notices it as follows:
Mr.. Wade of the Senate, and Mr.. Winter
Davis OF the House, have recently put before
he country document which has ELECTED
or its authors the warm gratitude of the OPP
position. We regret our inability TO give TO
our readers the address of these gentlemen
IN all its amplitude, but it can probably be
found in the first opposition paper on which
he curious inquirer lays his hand. Messrs
Wade and DAVIS, it will be remembered, were
the chief advocates of that unfortunate re-
construction bill, which missed the Presidents
signature; and it is easy therefore to under
stand the feelings which dictate their criti-
cisms on the Presidents disposition of their
favorite measure. Anger at the fate of their
offspring aud disappointment at their failure
10 become the historical authors of a grand
scheme of reconstruction, mag be traced
throughout the comparison which they make
between their plan and the Presidents; while
their arraignment of Mr.. Lincoln Is probably
animated as much by feelings of that sort as
by any real anxiety for the proper balance OF
our iustitutions,-a point as to which neither
of these gentlemen has been remarked for his
scruples heretofore.

Politically the class is unanimous, being al
Union men.
The Prophecy by W. P. Young was a racy
production, but of course somewhat enigmat-
ical to outsiders. The address at the tree b,
II. j. Gushing was good article, and quite
forcitly delivered. Smoking the pipe fpeae,
next followed, and the contorted faces of some
indicated that smoking was decidedly often
sive TO them. The singing of the parting od'
was the closing exercise of the class. At 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, Rev, Mr.. Granger OF
Providence, delivered an Grafton at the Bap-
fist Church before the Alumni of the College
and this exercise being an entirely new feat
ure, was not as well attended as it otherwise
would have been. His subject was the Rela
ton OF Scholarship to Success, and his pro-
duction was an excellent commentary upon
the topic.
In the evening were celebrated the anniver-
stries of the Literary Societies. The GRAFTON
was delivered by Is. p. Whipple of Boston.
on The position and influence of young men
in history,"-He used no notes whatever, his
voice was clear aud sufficiently powerful TO be

monotone was quite noticeable, and would
have been disagreeable had it not been for the
superior excellence of his article. Owing TO
the sudden sickness of the Poet we were de-
prived Of the usual poem, and as we did not
receive notice of his sickness until yesterday
morning, were of course unable to procure

A NATIONAL LOAN AssocIArIoN,-Th

suggestion, which, if followed up by proper
action, will be of immense service TO the

every true hearted citizen. IL proposes the
establishment of National Loan Associa-
ton. in which the payment quarterly of
certain limited sum--say dive or ten dollars
will secure membership, SO as to place il with

clerks, artisans and farmers, who would be

the nation iron their small means, who
could never manage to save sufficient
amount from their weekly or monthly earn

there are many women similarly circun,tanc-

ntably and safely Investing their surplus
money, and, at the same tim-, OF assisting the
Government in the most practical aud accept

would be their entire security, the faith of the
United States being pledged for their redemp-

Mobile, its Defenoes and its Assailants.
The intelligence from Mobile, coming thro
rebel sources, gives to this place unusual in
tere>t. Admiral Farragut is knocking at her
barred aud bolted doors, with persistence
and determination that afford strong hopes o.
bis complete success. Admiral Farragut is not
aching 10 the dark; he is well posted, and
started on bis errand with full knowledge
that he was to attack the most strongly iorii-
4 d place on the Gulf c ,as'. The bay Itself
which IS almost Mediterranean sea, large
enough for q et ola thousand ships--is guard
ed AZ its outlet by forts Morgan and Gaines,
two strong casem tied structures built by the
United ) ates, the former mounting one hun

Wages for labor in Europe.

The Secretary OF the Board of Agriculture
collected during the past year In a visit to Eu-
rope, some interesting statistics in relation to
arm laborers. Thirty seven cents per day
IRE what the laborer gets in ireland and
boards himself. This Is the highest sum, but
the farm aboier gets twenty-five cents and
finds his own board, and at that rate he can
not get work half the time, The days work
is from daylight to dark-no ten hours sys-
TEN for him.
la Client, Belgium, and other places, the av-
erage price is about 30cts a day. The work
men finding themselves. On the Rhine it is
25cts, and so all over the continent The la
borers in all cases board themselves The
pay for females who labor in the fields at the
Agricultural College Weihenstephan is Is
cents day. This is in harvest time when
tue price is higher than at other seasons OF
the year. This is indeed small pay for hard
earned labor. In Dublin and vicinity la
borer works hard II or Ia hours to earn
enough to buy single pound ofbutter. Good
living is nearly as high in those countries as
1t is here, and how the people live is mys-
,ery. Meat is luxury that but few la5orers
enjoy, and yet they work hard during day
light No wonder the tide of migration is
setting so strong to the New World.
