Experimental Philosophy. The class was

nation. Each cadet had o subject assigned
to him for analytical discussion at the
black board, and after this was completed
he was subjected to rigid oral examina-
tion by questions upon the whole course
of studies in the department. The cadets
acquitted themselves with great credit.
The graduates class is composed of ca
diets who joined the Institute in January,
1862, and who have been connected with
it through all the eventful scenes of the
last four years. Three of them bear marks
of severe wounds received at New Market.
The names of the class are here given:
o. A. Glazebrook, of Virginia G. K.
Macon, of Virginia A. Marshall, Of Vir-
ginia; A. W. Overton, of Virginia; J.
James, of Virginia; +. T. Lee, of Virginia ;
I. A. Crichton, of Virginia; w. G. Ben
nett, of West Virginia G.. Spiller, Of Vir-
ginia; NJ. I. Ezekiel, of Virginia.
The examination of the third class
mathematics--was conducted by Colonel
James w. Massie, and embraced an ex-
tensivs course of analytical geometry.
The discussions were full and well sus-
tanned, and the answers to questions gene
rally prompt. These two subjects occu-
pied both sessions of the first day.
The examinations were held in the en-
trance hall of the superintendent's quar-.
ters, the only present substitute for the spa
cious lecture-rooms of the barracks de-
stroyed by Hunter. The work of restora-
tion is, however, actively going on. A
large amount of timber is collected, and
already considerable progress has been
made by the carpenters and bricklayers.
On the lst of September the eastern wing
of the barracks will be ready to he occu-
pied by the cadets. The members of the
Board of Visitors are occupying the row
of cottages which had been commenced
before the close of the war.
Governor Peirpoint will be here on Sa-
turday. From time to time shall hope
to let you hear the progress Of the exer-
ciSeS here. Y. NJ. /.

power in the hands Of one body Of naon.
History had taught us that, this accom-
pliShed, it was as easy, by universal suffrage,
to substitute an imperial deSpotism for a
republic that has ceased to exist except
in name.
That each of the opposing schools had at
times pushed their respective doctrines to
unnecessary extremes could hardly be
questioned. As an example, he quoted
the endeavor of the north, in 1888, to pro-
tect her fisheries and manufacturing inte-
rests by high tariffs, and the persistent
opposition Of the south to the measure.
There was a subject for compromise but
each party adhered pertinaciously to its
own dOgmas; and thus sectional animosity
was infamed. The north taking the oppo.
sition of the south to the measure as an
evidence of hostility to her system Of free
labor, declared war on slave labor, and
has unrelentingly prosecuted it ever since.
The prejudice against slavery has been
fostered, not with any view to the interest
of the negro, but that in time It might
serve as an auxiliary in the contest for the
ascendancy Of Now England politics and
interests in tho national councils. There
fore the true causes of the war must be
sought for behind and beyond slavery.
The great question, whether our gov
ernment was federal or national, had not
vet been answered. Slavery, one of the
disturbing elements, was out Of the way,
but it remained to be seen whether the
victory gained by the advocates of con-
solidation was final and complete. That
question was to be decided by the great
West. The west had never had any
definite policy Of her own. The time would
soon come for the development Of western
Ideas and policy; and then were destined

to become landed proprietors. When they
had succeeded, they purchased estates, and

for the construction of dwellings more
suited to the laboring man. Refinement,
cultivation, and elegant tastes would be
constrained, as in the north, to seek refuge
in the cities. To those who estimated the
social condition by financial standard,
the subject would be pleasing to contem-
plate. For himself he did not belong to
that class. To him the open door, the
blazing hearth, and the warm heart of the
old Virginia gentleman possessed charm
for which no increase Of material wealth
could supply an equivalent.
Our system of education would have to
be changed to conform to the new order Of
things. More attention would have to be
given to natural philosophy, chemistry, and
the other branches which tended to the
development Of our physical resources.
But amidst oil these inevitable changes
he trusted that our people would be able
still to retain many well-defned traits Of
southern character. He trusted that they
would ever retain their high sense of per.

MR.. sTUART's ADDRESS.
After DR.. Maupin had concluded his
remarks there was an intermission Of about
twenty minutes, during which the Balti-
more Blues Band executed some choice
pieces of music. The Faculty and Mar
shals then entered the hail escorting the
Hon. A. II. II. STUART, the orator CT the
day, who was received with applause. He
was introduced by Mr.. Micajah Woods,
President of the Washington Literary
Society, and delivered his address, which
occupied near two hours. We have not
room to publish it, but present our readers
with the following sketch:
Mr.. STUART, addressing the Society,
said: We have assembled here to-day un-
der circumstances of peculiar interest and
solemnity. Six years have elapsed since
a similar exhibition was held in this hall.
During that period civil war has desc
lated our country, and brought anguish
and mourning into every household. Thou
sands of those nearest and dearest to us
have fallen on the battlefield, or Ian
guished and died in camps and hos
pitfalls. Hostilities having ceased, We
have now met to commemorate the close
Of the first session Of the University since
the restoration Of peace. Under these
circumstances the first thought Of every
mind Is Of the gallant men who suf-
fered and died In the discharge Of what
they believed to be their duty, and the
first impulse Of every heart Is to offer .
grateful tribute TO their memories. But
for reasons which win be appreciated by
this intelligent audience, I forbear from
giving utterance at this time to many
thoughts which it would be pleasing to
me to express and to you to hear. When
the excitement and irritation engendered

and compact argument which ropdls at all

The Commission for the Country Schools of
st. Croix feel compelled to express, with re-
gard to the School-year now just expired, as
they did with respect to that preceding it,
their deep regret at the unsatisfactory condi-
ton of these Schools. This is but too apparent
even from the Annual Statistical Tables pre-
sented by the Superintendent to this Board,
and now respectfully submitted to Your Excel
lency. From these it will be seen that the
average attendance of the Scholars has fallen
to little more than J and that less than / of
the children bound to attend are capable ofread-
ing, although, considering that the term of in
~struction is one of 4 years, it might reasonably
be expected that at least 3 should be able to
do so.
The capacity and diligence of the Teachers
leave no cause for complaint most of them,
on the contrary, are worthy Of commendation.
The Inspector himself %evinces, in spite of his
advanced age, a rare activity and zeal. Books,
and other requisite appliances for success, are
amply supplied and, if to all this be added the
consideration that the Government ever exhi-
