It takes but little time for civilized Ameri-

to vindicate their laws, but we find ourselves
at loss for word which will give full vent

such men as Edward Shippen and DIR. Neb-

appointments could not have been so arranged
as to keep directors like Messrs. Vaughan and
Rlkin in the places they have so we'll filled.

Oare in the appointment of the committees.

system. In the distribution of duty, the
utmost care should be exercised to place the
right man in the right place.
The advantage of vesting the power of ap-

possible, remains to be determined by the law.
II we could have secured as College Directors
such men as are to be our Controllers, the
shameful insult to gentleman lately perpe-
Srated would not have disgraced the College.
AS the Board now stands, there is no such
thing as reliability. We would not be sur
prised if President Allen went the way of his
predecessor, with no more notice than was
given to him. The little taste of power which
the Directors enjoyed has made them eager
for more. Already there are rumors that the
President is too old, and we would not be
1nuch astOnished at his expulsion before many
months have passed. Should it happen, the old
rule, 'to do unto others as you would be done
by" may become singularly applicable in
he case of the President Until some re-
Orm is made in the manner of appointing the
Directors, we have no great hopes that the
charitable designs of the founder will reach

THE UNION Pacific RAILROAD is progressing
with almost marvellous rapidity, and we are
assured that before the close of the present
working season the highest point between the
two oceans will be reached. The track has
just reached the base of the mountains, five
hundred and twenty five miles west of Omaha.
and the remaining thirty miles between the
present terminus and Evans Pass, the highest
point over which the road will pass will be
completed by January. The work of ascend
Ing the eastern slope of the mountain does not
present any great engineering difficulties. as
the grade is only eighty feet to the mile, while
there are a number of ascents in the East with
a grade of more than one hundred feet. Now
that this great iron band, which will tend to
draw the widely separated sections of the
country SO closely together, is rapidly ap-
preaching completion, it is matter of surprise
to us that the great work was not attempted
ten years ago. Its advantages to every por-
ton of the country, commercially, politically
and socially, are so manifest and so great, that
we are forced to watch its progress with care
full attention. When the great highway of
the nation is finally completed, the event will
merit a universal rejoicing.

The Execution of the Feninns.


THREE Fenians were hung on Saturday. This,
too, in despite of all the threats, PROFESSIONS,
and declarations Of sympathy and oaths of
vengeance. We are sorry for the executed,
but cannot but think that the Queen was JUS
titled in allowing the full punishment of the
law to be meted out 10 them. Their crime was
great. They had attempted rebellion in the
midst of England. Previous leniency had ap-
parently been construed as fear on the part of
the authorities, and again and again were the
attempts made. 1t was necessary that some
example should be afforded to deter evil
doers in the future, and the example was
made. We hope now that it will act as a salu-
tary warning to those over eager persons in
our midst who are wildly spending their
money in hopeless cause; and we feel we'll
assured that it will deter similar attempts in
Great Britain. A Government which is not
strong enough and stern enough to protect
itself and punish crime is not worthy of
brave mans allegiance; and had England not
acted as she did, she would have placed her
self in the false position of fearing her rebel
subjects. The cure was painful, but so was
the disease.
