The FOREIGN News.

The latest European news given this
morning under the telegraphic head pre-
sents little change in the military situa-
ton Of the continent. Prussia had pro-
posed basis SO strong on her side that the
French Emperor transmitted 1t to the Rus
sian and British Governments. The En-
peror's basis, on the other hand, leaves On
opening or two for France. 1t 10 perhaps
little palmer that there must be inter
vention of the leading Powers; but with
the examples of war fresh before them, "
is likely that they will strive earnestly lot
peaceful solution of affairs. the organ Vi
the Russian Government Is reported to
have limited to Prussia that there are other
Powers, strong and united, interested in
maintaining the balance of power.

s. General SHERMAN named others, in
Guiding General MEADE, of whom he merely
ssid that he was "an accomplished scho-
lar" The reader cannot help drawing the
inference that his eulogist thinks lie would
grace professors chair better than the
army. General SHERMAN talks cleverly
and dispcnscs his compliments evidently
from an elevation, patronizingly. We shall
yet hear mere talk from our generals. This
is their age.

WASHINGTON CoLLEGE-APPoINTMENTO OF
A PROFESSOR OF MORAL PHILOSOPHICAL
the meeting of the Board of Trustees held
on Tuesday last, Mr.. JOHN L. kIRKPAT-
RICK, of Georgia, was elected to the Chair
of Moral Philosophy.
Professor KIRKPATRICK is nephew OF
the late Rev. JOHN KIRKPATRICK, Of Cum
berland county, Va, and is graduate OF
lIampden Sidney College, and of the Union
Theological Seminary in Prince Edward
county, Va. He was licensed as minis
ter by the East Hanover Presbytery in
1887, and was soon called to the pastoral
care of the Second Presbyterian Church in
this city. lie discharged the onerous
duties of his position faithfully and use
fully until ls4l, when he accepted 4 call
to the church at Gainesville, Ala, where
he labored with great fidelity for num-
Der of years. He was then called to one
of the churches in Charleston, S. c., and
about four years later he was elected to
the presidency of Davidson College, North
Carolina. Professor KIRKPATRICK is man
of distinguished talent and great energy and
zeal, and we congratulate the Trustees

JAMES NELSON, EsQ.-We notice that at
q meeting in Richmond to send delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention, Jim Nee
son, formerly of Fairmont, figured as 4
speaker. He was anxious to see delegates
sent to Philadelphia, and would even 60
himself, as we infer, rather than Virginia
should be unreprescnted. "Now," said he,
sis the grand contest between Conservatism
and Radicalsm, Constitutionality and I'M
perialism, and every man in Virginia must
be profoundly interested in the struggle"
1t seems to us that we have read much
the same sort Of language from Mr.. Nee
son in q manuscript letter of his dated
March l6, 1868, and directed to l. n.
Arnctt, Esq, of Fairmont, now in our pos
session. The contest then lin arms was
going OH, according to the same author,
"bctwecn Conservatism and RadicalSm,
Constitutionality and Imperialism" and it
seems that it is not yet ended, but only
transferred to new theatre Of action. In
the letter alluded to, Mr.. NeeSon spoke Of
the tyrants (his friend Peirpoint, under
whom he now lives, being their chief
whom he and others would hold in remcm-
brance for the day of retribution, when
tncy sHoulu return Us NlctorS I'D W est VIZ
ginia. But they never returned. "Conser-
vatism," unfortunately, came out second
best in the contest,of that day, very much,
we fear, as it is bound to, clear through TO
the end of the contest. The people Of this
country understand about what such men
as Nccson mean by conservatism" and
they are prepared and determined to con-
tinue the contest with it until the second
Appomattox Courthouse is reached
Wheeling InteHigencer.
This is an unblushing confession Of 4
man who seems to have singular ideas Of
gentility and honor. He has in his possess
sion a private letter sent by one gentleman
to another, which Of course was stolen en-
route, and has never been delivered.

Military Courtesies.

General SHERMAN, in his address to the
students at Dartmouth College, paid Gene
raj GRANT quite compliment. He invited
the attention of his audience to that dis.
tinguished officer thus: "Such men as
General GRANT, modest, plain, bold,
"brave, unfinching gentleman, with the
"simple idea to do what is right, and
"whom nothing, nothing can turn aside"
He went on to speak of others: first,
General THOMAS, Of whom he said: "a
"more modest man exists not on earth.
even if he were present here, l could
"not begin to get him to stand up here"
That is, in presence Of tho assemblagc of
students, professors, and others. Well,
General THOMAS may be in some sort
modest, but he has the boldest way ina
ginable of showing his modesty now and
then. His utter disregard of the Consti-
tuition and laws, and of the liberty of the
citizen, from his closing the churches in
Alabama to his last act Of proposing to use
the army Of the United States to compel
members of the Tennessee Legislature to
obey the orders Of the detestable Brown
Low, pretty plainly show that his modesty
does not run in the line of being ashamed
TO do tyrannical act or commit an
outrage upon community. His modesty
is perverted. II he could be too modest
to set up his judgment above law and JUS.
tice, and were not too modest 10 hold up

be all the better--this General THOMAS. He
was born In Southampton county, but we
see no cause for the old county to be proud
of that. At least, she may bear her hOnors

The lndey. calls for Convention in the
Petersburg Congressional district TO ap-
point delegates to Philadelphia, and names
the 10th day Of August for its assemblagc
because this will give an opportunity for
every county in the district, except three,
to hold primary meetings on court day,
and appoint delegates.
1t may be objected, adds the lede", that
if this plan should fail, and the joint COM
mittec defcrring to it should neglect or
refuse to appoint delegates for this district,
We might be without representation al
Philadelphia. To avoid this, all that i,
necessary is for the joint committee t.
appoint conditional delcgaieS, who will be
authorized to act only on the failure of APP
pointmcnt by popular convention. This
is just what the joint committee propose
to do in all such cases.
As to the kind Of delegates that should
be selected, the Indec says:
"On the one hand, we should send lii
impracticablc man, no man with crotchets,
with pet theories to advance: and on the
other, we should send no trimmcrs, ready
to say and do anything to be agreeable.
"On the one hand, we should send nc
man whose Recommendation is that he had
no sympathy with the Southern people in
the late war; and on the other, we should
avoid sending men SO obnoxious, from thcil
prominent connection with the cause OF
secession, as to compromise the cordially
of their greeting, or prejudice their use.

WASHINGTON. February 9.- SENATE. = Mr.
Davis. of Kentucky. offered resolution de-
claring that as charges Of speculation and fraud
had been made against cotton agents of the Treas
ury department, a committee be appointed to in
vestigate such charge. He said that he had been
informed from various sources Of the truth Of
these charges. He had been told by friend, who
had means of knowing. that within his own ex-
perience in the South. there was not man con-
nected with the Treasury department within q
scope of 1000 miles who had not been corrupted
He would agree to substantiate chargesif commit
tee vas appointed.
Mr.. Sherman said the charge preferred by the
honorable gentleman was very sweeping In its
character. The Secretary Of the Treasury had
told him that the most violent charges were gener
ally brought against the most faithful officers.
