The Board of Supervisors of tn
State Seminary held last week a YER
interesting and important meeting
The principal work the Board per
formed was the enlargement of til,
Faculty, which had become necessary
by the increase of the number O
Students, to whom full justice couli
not be done without entailing too heavy
labor on the professors now on active
duty. Admiral Senlmes who had beer
previously rendered the appointment
ofprofessor of Moral Philosophy, has
signified his acceptance and will be on
the grounds by the first of January
This appointment we consider good
one. Apart from the eminent services
which this great naval commander
rendered the South during the late
struggle, in his moving accidents by
food and field" Mr.. semmes possesses
literary qualifications of the highest or
der, which have been evinced by more
than one publication that has had a
good run in the literary world. His
fine literary taste, and his accurate
knowlege of the English language and
Its literature, cannot fail to make his
appointment valuable acquisition to
the present corps of able professors.
General Joseph Wheeler, so well known
as q cavalry commander, and univer-
sally acknowledged as the prince of
tiIsciplinarians, has been elected to one
OF the scientific chairs and will report
1or duty at an early day. His name
Will attract many young men who knew
him as soldier, to seek the benefit oil
his excellent instruction.
We take pride in announcing the
continued prosperity of our cherished
state Institution. Over one hundred
and fifty students have maticulated
and thus far nothing has occurred to
mar the quiet and usefulness of the In
stltution. Students are still arriving.
md, it the present quarters should
prove inadequate to their accomoda-
lions, others will be erected in time to-
receive the expected applicants. In
to the regular literary and
scientific courses an optional course y
has been organised, by which student
Is permitted to choose his own studies.
proVldedhe chooses enough to keep him
uliy occupied. Young men can thus
Do educated for any of the practical
fatles OF life, without losing time in the
pursuit of studies which may never
'roye of any benefit to them. We
earnestly hope that the efforts of the
'oard to furnish literary institution
worthy OF the State, may meet with
hat success and appreciation which
hey deserve.

The comments We have heretofore made
upon the present condition Of the Parliamen-
tarT Reform question, have prepared our
readers for euch bill as Mr.. Gladstone has
presented. Indeed We had hardly expected
from Earl Russell's Cabinet measure 20 lib
cra1 as that which Mr.. Gladstone has submit
ted to Parliament. While we believe 1t holds
in embryo the seeds aud causes Of reform
still more thorough, yet in itself con-
side1ed it will, If passed, be u great
gain to the cause Of popular government in
Great Britain. The present qualifications Of
voters, as fixed by the Reform Bill of 1885,,
vary in minor points in the different sections
Of the Kingdom; but the general principle IS
to give vote for county members to every.
adult male who within the county either
OWLS houses or lands to the clear yearly value
Of 910, OF. rents them TO- the Bmoaut. Of
ESQ, and vote for borough members to
every Ike male who owns or occupies
to the value Of E10 per annum within the
parliamentary borough; and actually resides
within seven miles Of it. Under these quail
flcatious, about one. in twenty-eeyen OF the!
total population, or one in seven of the male
adults, were voters. The numbered, IN 1850,
for England, sS9, ,797 Wales, 4s,0l9; Scot
land. eo,so5i Ireland, s,o6e-naking total
Of 1,n5o, ,1s7.
The present Reform Bill reduces the,qun1ia.
cation Of county; voters from ESQ
to ELI !, occupancy md for boroughs,
to 81 renters, and to dodgers paying;
e10 or upwards; for apartments. The;
measure. it is stated, adds about four bun-;
dred thousand to the number Of voters,
whether In England alone or throughout the
United Kingdom Is not stated. 1t confines
itself to extending the franchise, leaving the
of Representatives, TO the hn-
ture. The bin, II it passes, is certainly Of
great importance, adding, as 1t does, at lcast
one-thlrd to the number Of voters. Its
passasc will do much to strengthen the 10y
nlty OF the entire British people, and to give
a quietus TO Fcniants1n, which, however, de-
serves the credit OF having been one Of the
agencies In causing tEe Government IN nffer It
