HAMPDEN SIDNEY COLLEGE At meeting
Of the Board of Trustees held last week, COL
Delaware kemper was appointed to the Chair
Of Mathematics. Col. Kemper was well known
before the war as teacher in Alexandria Va,
and during the days Of the great conflict was
distinguished on many "a weIl-toughten feld'
90 commander of ''Kempcr's Battery" which
earned by hard knocks an enduring reputation.
The qualifications of Col. Kemper for the posi-
tion he now holds are unquestionable.
The various measures recently adopted by
the trustees and professors of Hampden Sidney,
With the fattering prospects before the institu-
ton for the mex. session, afford ample ground
for hope that this time -bonored seat Of learning
will rapidly recover from the affections Of the
war, and soon be restored to more than its for
mer usefulness and fame-Rich DtSp.

EOUALaZrNG BOUNTIEs.

We receive good many letters from persons
who say they have been soldiers and who do
not like our opposition TO the schemes submitted
to Congress under the guise of Equalizng
Bouniies among the soldiers who have served In
the late War. Most Of these we have not even
read completely, because of the bad manners
and impertinenoe betrayed by the writers; and
we certainly shall not publish any henceforth OF
which the authors know no better than to couch
their mi ssives in terms of insult.
What we have to soy to them all may be
briefly summed up thus:
/. Not one of the bills submitted to Congress
does what they all profess to attempt-that is,
Edualize Bountcs. Gen. Wilson's is case in
point. He proposes to ignore all bountles pad
by States or minor localities, or by individuals.
Why so' If soldier has received bounty
from bis State, county or township, or been
paid one by IN individual, why should not that
be considered, as much as though it had been
paid from the Federal Treasury Ii any one
can answer this question civilly, we should like
to hear from him.
9. To pay an additional sum to every soldier,
under pretenso Of equalizng bounties, is naked
fraud. The man who enlisted in 1864 or 8,
and received then a liberal bounty, has no right
to further gratuty under this false prctense.
g. We should be very glad to assist in paying
SlOO, or even $500, each to all soldiers who on
listed nithoat bounty or gratuity from any quar-
ter, served three years or over, until honorably
discharged, receiving no bounty at all save the
500 paid when mustered out. This, we be-
licve, would be some approximation to equal
izing bounties;' and it is as far M we think our
overtaxed people and heavily indebted Govern
ment should be asked to go, save in providing
for the disabled in battle and the orphans OF
those who gave their lives for their country; and
for these we will 60 as far as any one can
reasonably ask. But to bankrupt our over
burdcned Treasury by paying bounties to hale
men whohave already received $500 and over
in bounties or as substitutes, or who served
less than two years, we are not willing.

THR LIQUOR CASE STATED.

We have in this City at least 5000 places
where Intoxicating Liquors arc sold. The law
Of the State-framed not by .anti.Liquor men,
but by those who believe Liquor a good thing
often abused-requires each place where
Liquor is sold to be licensed, to pay $50
into the City Treasury, and to conform to GER
tain regulations with regard to Sunday sales,
&c. The keepers of only 400 of these 5000
rum-holes SEQ fit to obey tho law; the rest find
it more profitable to defy it. We have a
Board of Excise Commissioners who, if they
are not heavily bribed TO wink at this gainiul
defiance Of the law, oct most unaccountably;
while, as to any prosecution of the aw-dehers
it is only necessary to say that our District
Attorney is A. Oakley Hall.
The people tf our City who desire to SEQ the
laws obeyed call as one man for the abolition Of
our present Board of Excise, and the transfer OF
its duties and powers to the Board of Health; /;
and bill effecting such transfer has passed the
Senate with barely snow of opposition. Going
10 the Assembly, it has there been referred to
its Committee on Internal Affairs Of Towns
and Counties, which is composed of Messrs.
vandenberg Of Wayne, Ferris Of Delaware,
Morse Of Madison, and X. T.. Smith Of Scho-
hare. If reported by this, it may still have TO
run the gauntlet OF the Committee on Local and
General Orders composed of Messrs. Barley
Of Washington IIiscock Of Onondaga, Coch'
rane Of Albany, Richmond of Kings Warren
of Chenango, Shaw of st. Lawrence, Miner OF
New-York, Faulkner OF Livingston, and Pome-
roy of Niagara. The law-deiying rumsell-
ers, we'll knowing that this bill canno'
bo beaten on vote Of the House, have,
we are assured. raised a large sum and sent
agents to Albany instructed 10 bribe enough
members Of one or other Of the above Commit
tees to have the bill delayed until ii cannot be
reached in the House. The question is so plain
the right of it 30 clearly with those who want
the Law as il stands enforced and obeyed-that
we do not believe they can have sent up money
enough to effect their nefarious object.

ST.. LOUIS, at her recent Charter Elections

Still, the Reconstructed poured in their votes,

New-York daily tribune., 1866-04-09

The decrease of the Rinderpest in England
gives some strength TO tie opposition of great
part Of the British public to what is known a.
the " stamping-out process prescribed by the
latest Parliamentary stamp-act. The policy Of
e1tirpation, which should have been applied in
the first month of the plague, comes with bad
effect when, from observations of the course Of
the epidemic, a belief is gaining ground among
professors that it is in its subsdence. II
should not DO forgotten, however, that the
murain Of I745 lasted twelve years, and though
in eight of these it was sporadic, and only
f200, 900 was spent as compensation for forced
killing, still it was terribly destructive in the
first four Our Consul a. Sheffield states, on
abundant scientific authority that an animal
may be regarded as being absolutely free from
the plague if it does not exhibit disorder within
ten days after being exposed to it. This consid-
cred, the stamping-out process should bo care
fully qualified. One ofthe good incidents ofthe
plague, as it effects London, is that butchers
and butcheries have been driven TO the
suburbs and the country, and the city
" relieved from the annoyance and danger
of infurated cattle, and the pollution of at
mosphere which laystalls and slaughter
houses created advantages too great Gays
The Tmes) to be relnquished. London has
been enabled TO overcome the panic aud embar-
rassment Of its liye-neat market by tho greater
dead.meat supply, with its obvious tendency
to bring prices down again. The Times states
the case further:
In London wo plainly that. live cattle are shut
out carcasses win lind their way IN; and this Is pre-
cisely what might have been expected. The butcher
