UniversiIy of MIississippi---A Card.

University of Mississip pi---A Card
From information received from various
parts of the country, there seems to prevail
an impression that the University of Mis-
sissippi, will at the ensuing Commencement
confer the degree of B. A. on Class of young
men who had not completed the course of
study required by our Laws. This is an er-
roneous impression. The surviving men,
bers of the Class of 1861, will be honored by
their Alma Mater with their diplomas on
Thursday 28th inst, not because they
were good soldiers through the war"
as is stated, but because they had not
only fully completed the curriculum of Uni
versity study, but had also passed their
final examination and were thus entitled to,
and would have received their diplomas at
the commencement of 1861 had not the com
mencement exercises been prevented by
the war. They are now, therefore receiving
at this late period only that to which they
are justly entitled.

The powers and acts of the Provisional
Governor must be of the same character. and
be tested by the same principles. Hence the
military authority, by which the Provisional
Governor was appointed and under which
he was acting, must do acts irreconcilable
with the Constitution and laws, during the
period of temporary military occupation OF
the State; because in such circumstances
the regular civil action of the Government
had become impracticable. Upon no other
ground can either the appointment of the
Provisional Governor or any act done by
him be justified Hence he was clothed
with the extraordinary power which he ex-
ercised in this instance, which must be pre-
sumed to have received the sanction of the
President.
If, therefore, the view of the majority of
the eourt-that the enlarged Judicial powers
conferred on Judge Swami by the Proyis-
ional Governor, cannot be sustained be-
cause such powers are in conflict with the
Constitution, be correct, the objection canal
ly applies to the appointment of the Pro-
.visi0nal Governor, and to his act in appoint
ing Judge Swami, which must likewise be
unconstitutional; and thus the argument
would. destroy the position taken BY the
majority OF the Court, that the appointment
of the Provisional Governor and Judge
Swami were valid. For if the Provisional
Governor had no power to confer extraordi-
nary authority ON Judge Swami, the Presi
dent of the United States had for the same
reason, no power to appoint the Provisional
Governor, without warrant in the Constitu-
ton and the whole fabric which has been
erected on that appointment would fall
But if the extraordinary powers exercised
by one be valid, SO must those of the other.
and, indeed, they both depend on the same
principle the necessity of the extraordinary
measures as the means of restoring the Con-
stitution and laws Of the United States bv
military authority, and of restoring civil
government in this State
But whether this action of the Provisions
al Governor is valid or not, under the Con.
stitution of the United States, think it =.
ceived the sanction of the State Convention
in August 1865, and was adopted into our
judicial system
If that be true, it obviates the objection
that the powers which, as think, were con-
fered ON Judge Swami by the Provisional
Governor, we're In violation Of the Federai

G.. II. IEingsbury has been appointed
Postmaster at Boston, in place Of Mr..
Palrrcy. 1t is also stated that Mr..
Chandler, Assistant United States
Treasury at that place, will shortly give
place to VIM. Aspinwall.
The opinion OF the Attorney General
of the United States, Mr.. Stanbery, in
regard to the power Of the President,
where appointments to office have been
made, in the States, prior to the last
session Of the Senate, and there was I
failure, during the session, to make Il
permanent appointment, either by the
rei'usa! Of the Senate to con irm the
nominee, " Il failure to act on the nom
nation, or other cause, to make Il tenn.
porary appointment in the present re-
cess, has been publishe |.
| In his discussion Of the subject, the
Attorney General takes up the genera
question as 20 whether the President
can fill n vacancy in the recess whicl
existed in the prior session. After ;
review of the prccedents established
since the foundation ofthe Government
and an examination of the constitution
: and the existing laws on the subject, h
arrives at the affirmative to the prop
: osition, and consequently of the origi
nal question submitted to him.

MARRYING \ TwIN-A correspond
ent, writing from Arkansas Springs,
describes Il wedding which took place
between two persons who had never
seen each other until the day before.
The next morning two or three wac
gish fellows informed him that his wife
had twin sister, that they were so
much alike it was difficult to tell them
apart, and that he had married the
wrong one. The poor fellow, without
saying anything to his wife, went di-
rectly to the magistrate, and wished
him to "undo what he had done, and
marry him to the right gal, The wor-
thy squire told him if he had known
this the evening before, he would have
fixed it right, but two much time had
elapsed, and it was, too late.

NATURES BAROMETERS.

A venerable gentleman, with whom
we recently converscd, assures us that
spiders were the best barometers yet
produced The barometer invented by
the scientific, he affirmed, only indca-
ted the Kinds of weather we are to have
Immediately, while the spider unerring-
ly told the character Of the weather for
several days in advance. For instance,
if the weather is likely to become
rainy, windy, or in other respects disa,
grceable, the spiders make very short
and firm the terminating tilaments OF
fastcnings uncommonly long, the
weather will continue severe from ten
to dozen days.
Spiders usually make alterations in
their webs once in twenty four hours
If they are totally indolent, and not
even watch for flies, rain will speedily
cnsuc. If the spiders stay out upon
their nests during q shower, and seem
actively engaged in putting their affairs
in good condition, it is certain proof
that the rain will continue long, and
that it will not be. clear weather fol
some time. If, during stormy wealth.
er, the spiders are seen fixing their
damaged nets, in the evening, it GER
tainly indicates that the night will be
pleasant, and that the rain is over for
the present Our informant has often
witnessed this result, when the sky
looked most threatening, and ho has
never known the sign to fail.
