otherwise would incur an outlay

become the worthy head of our prac.

ent Collegiate system is, that we
have a. score DC Colleges all made

more or less inefficient. BY uniting
the Agricultural grant to the State
University we would avoid the Gre
alton of another comparatively weak
institution. But wherever may be its

that the fund be kept unbroken. It

n rom our redOlnS OF the 1nQldDdp-
oils Herald and other organs of the
party, we are led to the conclusion
that the glory has departed from the
Democracy, thhtiit has been shorn Of
its power and been hopeless
ly delivered over to the enemy
The Herald is disguised with the
Democratic Senators, who refused to
adopt the revolutionary proceeding of
breaking a quorum to prevent the
passage of HUGHES g BoItfng Bill,
and fears that there is nothing more
to hope for in behalf of the party in
Indiana. The truth of it is, the
Herald is out of humor because
the Democratic Senators refused to
be led by che didtation of MCDONALD,
DEvELIN, and the other old hacks,
who had assisted in bringing the
party to its present forlorn condition
of a powerless minority, and it reveals
some of the secret resolutions of the
Legislative Caucus, which are inter
esting to the outside world. The edi-
tor says he was present in the caucus
of the Democratic Senators, and
heard the conclusion announced that
the passage of Hughes Boiling Bill
would bind the Democratic party
hand andon foot % for years to
come, and that resort to
any means to prevent it was
justifable-in fact, that the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature
would prove recreant to the trust
in them, and false to the
one hundred and ifty-six thou
sand Democrats of Indiana, if,
having the power, they did not
use it to defeat the attempt to dis
franchise the party. And the Her.
aid adds: THE bill having passed
sby their presence, we cannot but con
clude the die is cast" It resigns the
party to the fate brought upon it by
the cowardice of the Democratic
Senators. 1t says the 2 political
measures of the Republican party,
mo matter how obnoxious, will
be permitted to go through; and that
nothing will be omitted that will have

The Agricultural and Mechanical
College.

i .
! Our readers have noticed in the
| dispatches and letters of our Indian
apolis correspondent, that there is
much difference of opinion at Indian
apolis in reference to the disposition
Of the Congressional grant for an Ag-
ricultural College. 1t is subject to
which we have alluded heretofore, as
we consider it matter of much i'm
portance to the State, and one in
which Evansville should be interest
ed. The provisions of the Congress
sionaf grant do not confne its objects
exclusively to agriculture. The Act
says the fund arising from the sale of
the lands granted shall be an endow-
ment inviolably appropriated "to the
support and maintenance of at least
one college. where the leading object
shall be- without excluding other
scientific and classical studies, and
including military tactics, to teach
such branches Of learning as are related
to agriculture and the mechanic arts.
In such manner as the Legislatures
OF the States may respectively pre-
scribe, in order to promote the liberal
and practical education of the indus
trial Glasses in the several pursuits and
professions of life. "
SO that it is to, be not only an Agri-
cultural, but a Mechanical College, for
the practical education of the indus
trial classes, Evansville az one of
the leading manufacturing and indus
trial cities of the State, if not,-the
most important, is therefore deeply
interested in the proper disposition
/ of this fund, aadsin wise location of
the institution. son

ispecifedii the act, practical instruc-
ton IN agriculture and the mechanic
arts, we deem it essential that the
fund be preserved intact, and not friitt.
tered away in a partition among the
various classical colleges of the State.
In these it would be swallowed up in
the general endowment, and lose all
its distinctive characteristics. We
very much doubt the legality of such
disposition; certainly is contrary
to the spirit and intent of the dona-
ton. The great want in educational
matters now felt by the intelligent por-e
ton of our industrial and mechanical
classes is collegiate facilities, where
their young men can pursue a scien-
tlItic and practical course of education
without being numbered with the clas-
Il studies Of professional life. This
VIII Hs not be accomplished by parceling-
the agrlcultural fund out among the I
different UNCONVENTIONAL colleges of
the State.
The Fund arising from the land
donation should, we think. by ali
means be preserved intact, wherever
it may be located. we have been r Is.
clined to think that the best disposi.
ton which could be made oft wonlds1

THE GOLDEN AGE

lHcfe Is StIt nope lor tue cause OF
public honor and otfcal purity. Hon.
j. N. Ashley, Of Ohio, has made him
self its champion, so far as the President
is concerned, and now John Wentworth
has taken up the cause as Involved in
the sins of Congress When two such
men stalk into the public arena, as vim
dicators Of outraged public virtue, either
the case must be desperate, or else
there is no case at all. Anything they
can save is not likely to be worth save
ing.
The impeachment process slumbcrs
Whether Mr. Ashley has become. fa-
tgued with his unwonted efforts in the
cause of virtue, or whether he finds the
nation incredulous of his sincerity and
rather incliued to sncer than appland,
his efforts flate have seusibly relaxed
The fue frenzy, the offspring of startled
and indignant honor, which marked the
feIvor OF his early outbursts, has died
away, He seems to have recovered
from the shock with which his sensitive
soul caught the first whispers of official
delinquency, and which fired him with u
noble ambition to drag the great offender
instantly to the bar Of judicial doom.
since that notable day, celebrated espe~
ciaily by the inventive letter. writers of
Washington, when he rose, with lofty
mien and grave aspect, to impeach on
personal responsibility as member Of
| Congress, and full partner with the
Surveyor of Colorado in all his town
lot speculatons, Andrew johnson,
President OF the United States, of sun.
dry high crimes and misdemeauors, the
Honorable Mr.. Ashley has wholly sub
ided, lie and his impeachment seem
alike to have disappeared from public
view. 's
But the cause Of virtue is not wholly
lost Truth and political purity are not
TO be left without defenders. When ono
champion falls, Providence raises up
another, AS Ashley descends to his
native Gothinguess, Wentworth rises
from his. Thus the balance OF the
moral world is preserved.
Wentworth, it seems, had heard that
somebody had been "conspiripg' with
the President He had even read in u
newspaper that some members of Con-
gress had proposed to The President that
he should do something which he had
never done before, and that he SHOULD
stop doing something's which he had
always done hitheito. Midnight meet
ings were whispered--bargains, coal.

tions, conversations ana conspiraces,

'Long JOHN" and beckoned him on to
the championship of the virtue of Con.
gress. lie was seized with sudden hor-
rnr lest some member should be bribed-
and that member not himself Such
possibility must be averted. So John
moved a committee of investigation, and
the House, iearful of iuiereuces if it
should refuse, made haste to vote it
and the tirtons Wentworth sets forth, ia
humble imitation of the illustrous Ash.
ley, in pursuit of Congressional corrup'
tion and delinquency.
Happy is that nation whose political
gates are guarded, night and day, by
two such dragons OF official virtue !. -

Vas the first to win it
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever rcigns within it.
She who ki7ses oft my lips
Wakes their warmest blessing
She who rests within my arms
Feels their closest pressing.

Days that may be Greary-
Other hours shall greet us yet,
Hours that may be weary
Still this heart shall be thy throne,
Still this breast my pillow;
Sill these lips shall meet thine own

None but thou hast done it;
Aud when age your bloom shall chang
With its wintry weather,
May we in the self-same grave
Sleep and dream together.
