THE examination and closing exercises
Of the Morgantown Seminary will begin

Principal of the Seminary, and Hon W.
T. Wiley will take part in the exercises.

THE prompt Vigor with which the
British Government is putting down
,he Fenian demonstration, which how
ever in judged and immature, is at least
founded ON real grievances, renews the
modification and sorrow with which
every American citizen recalled the
miserable. inefficient, half barbarous
policy of the late Democratic Admins
tration. when the Southern rebellion
broke out. and the fire, which bucket
of water might have extinguished, was
permitted to spread into q oonfiagation
that enveloped the whole land. Moth
ing i'm the whole course Of that wonder
ful and gigantic rebellion was more re-
markablo than the imbecility OF the
administration. IL would seem that all
the brains in the concern were stepped
i'm treason, and that the men charged
with the responsibility ofaiiairs were
the passive instruments in the hands Of
the public enemies, when we look back
and see how halfa dozen regiments and
a. many war vessels would have put
down the rebellion, In a week, and re-
member how vigorous measures were
urged upon the President, and how he
decided one way, one day, and another
way. the next, and finally did nothing,
settling down ON his theory that the
states had no right TO secede and that
the government had no right to prevent
them. that nobody had a right to do
anything.
How different Is the course OF the
British government With what
promptness the authorities novel How
they put aside the freedom ofthe press,
and the personal security OF the subject!
In the very beginning, and amidst the
general applause Of the people, they
take those strong measures into which
our government was tardily forced, and
which awakened the Indignation Of the
English press. and its ally, the copper
head press, at home. In TINS, we nave
fresh. hut unneeded illustration OF the
sincerity ofthe English, In their sympa-
thy with the rebellion, and In their cla-
NOR about the invasion Of freedom ana
personal rights, by our government. II
i hardly probable that England Will
Give thcIrish insurgents an opportunity
10 test the practical application Of the
late English precedents innational law;
Il is not likely that the instruction VIII
rise to the dignity ola declaration OF a
provisional government, TO claim bellig-
crent rights, and Ia send out privnteers
a,tinst british commerce. All the IN
dications are that the movement has
been put down before II was fairly
inaugurated, and that "A few trials for
treason. and the lesser offences OF a
kindred characted, will be all that will
come OF the discomfort Of a gallant pco-
pie, who deserve an independence that
they are unable to achieve against the
powerful government that rules them.

. Chariot Chase-.The Drivers Females.

The New York Express has the fol-
lowing as among the occurrences Of the
Patterson races:
The vehicles employed in the chariot
race were curved, shell shaped boxes,
looking somewhat like a sleigh driven
backward, aud were respectively var
nished in brown and blue, with wheels
picked out in gold. The blue vehicle
was drawn hy two handsome chest
nuts, and the brown by n team COM
posed of gray and sorrel
The ladies who essayed thus 10 afford
a proof of female ability 10 handle "the
ribbons were Miss Virginia Mason
and Senorita Marie Martinez. The
former made her appearance costumed
ns Columbia, n character which she
dressed in the legendary liberty cap
and robe Of red, white aud blue.
Miss Martinez, for some ineNplicable
reason, abandoned the female character
which should have attended her chart
oteership, and appeared as n cavalier OF
I the times of Charles the First, her cos
tune consisting Of n Spanish cloak Of
purple velvet, with silver spangles, set
OH by u jaunty satin hat, trimmed with
I yellow.
First Heat-Both chariots passed the
Judges stand in a cloud Of dust, Miss
Mason leading, but with the advantage
of the inside held by the Senorita.
/ The former took the lead, and when
approaching the quarter-post took the
I inside. As she approached the halt-
mile post most ludicrous incident Oc-
CURED. The stables are located IN this
vicinity, and as the horses neared them
/ they suddenly wheeled around and len
the track. IL was with some difficulty
[ that Miss Mason succeeded In turning
I their heads, much TO the amusement Of
/ the spectators.
In the meantime the other chariot had
passed her, and about TO turn the three
quarter post, when, by "A most vigorous
I tiaggellaiiOn OF her steeds Miss Mason
regnined considerable Of the lost ground
and entered the home stretch without
/ being distanced.
The scene nj this time was Of most
I exciting nature. Both vehicles ratified
by the stand in cloud of dust, the fair
charioteers straining every nerve 10 ac-
CELEBRATE the speed of their horses. Co
lumbia had lost her hat and went with
streaming hair, while that of the Seno-
rita had been hfted from her head, but,
attached 20 the ribbons, was hanging at
the back OF her head. The wind had
also disarranged Columbia's tri-colored
robe and exposed 10 view a garment
which Herodotus makes no mention OF
as pertaining 10 the costume Of the
I Olympic charioteers. This heat was the
most interesting Of the series. Time

Second Heat-This heat was easily
won by Miss Mason, who led by all the
I posts, and In the homcstretch nearly
distanced her opponent. Time, 2;;s2.

DURING the recent English elections
a good deal was said about the resolve
OF Tom Hughes and Stuart Mill not to
spend money in securing their election.
II has been more than limited that how
ever tightly Mr.. Min may have kept
his purse strings drawn, some OF his
supporters without his knowledge did
not scruple TO makehis election sure by
"A timely use Of funds. The London
Spectator now publishes Tom Hughes
account current with his constituency.
II OF course contains no record Of any
thing but legitimate and necessary ex-
penses, as Hughes persisted In his pur-
pose Of spending no money for improp-
or modes OF electioneering. The Spec
fator informs us that his legitimate ex-
penscs were exceptionally small. But
il appears that they amounted TO over
five thousand dollars. The ordinary
expense OF securing an election In
metropolitan borough is said TO be from
ten thousand to thirty thousand dollars

rcprcsented that the radicals under the
Head Of senator Wilson, Of Massachu-
sets, arr opposed to President johnson

known the contrary, but have not

Wilson. however, is 50 interesting on
this subject that We present il for pub
lie consideration. ON Monday night,
oct. 9th, the Republican campaign in
New York opened at Yonkers. Hon.
Henry Wilson, the leading speaker,
said:

winters, aud some thousands Of dollars
