OF those insufficient endowments given by
somebody or several somebodies long since
dead, to which nobody ever made any sensible
addition. It is an Aladdin's tower waiting
these many years for some kind hand to
bestOw upon it the character and vim
of living University. Its many pro-
vosts have come and gOne its professors
have lived, died, and resigned in their chairs;
it has graduated its petty classes of eighteen
and twenty and the world has rolled on none
the better and none the worse for its influence.
This should not be the record of hundred
years. What amid all the turmoil and hustle
of existence; all the nervous hurrying ON Of
the tide of life to newer worlds; all the deaths
of time-wOrn fallacies and births Of new and
living truths; all the overthrows of empires
and kingdoms; all the changes in State and
Church; all the growth of the human soul and
mind-an engine bearing the name of Educator
should remain where its founder left it hun
dred years ago Benefactors of education do
not seem to recognize it as legacy for which
they were bound, in the interests Of learning
to provide, before seeking newer fields of en-
terprise they simply left it where it was.
Without proper life, it carries on the mecha-
nism of university forms. Without proper
spirit are its public examinations, at which few
ever attend.
We hail, therefore, the movement of the
present Board of Trustees to awake this Rip
Van Wrinkle of hundred years. True, the
movement has been made before and failed
but no matter, let them try once again. Every
dollar spent on an established institution is
worth hundred given to a new, unstable
scheme, which a hundred years hence will be
in the same condition. Let the money be
expended rather upon the liberal endowment
of chairs essential to a usual college course,
and upon whatever apparatus the University
may need, than upon the creation of
French and German professorships. Let the
studies for university course of four years be
fully and explicitly laid down, and every room
so maintained that it will not be necessary to
put aside or assume any branch of learning,
according as a professor may resign or one
be appointed to any department Let her be
perfectly Independent of all tuition fees, that
examinations may be public and as essentially
test of merit as is possible in our institutions
of learning.
These are the necessities of any frst-class
college. And what are those of the many
colleges throughout our Union founded and
cared for like her Will the people support,
consolidate, or abolish What shall we say
about our own State, our own city? Let us
really have University of Pennsylvania. If
we are not prepared to make these sacrifices
for the one in our own city, let them be for
some other of our colleges, and then, as quickly
as possible, secure either consolidation or
abolition.

A Poor Paving Policy.

The result of the Tennessee election very
decisively answers the question of how the
colored citizens of the South will vote. Just
SO long as the Democratic party maintains its
present attitude of hostility to impartial suf-
frage, nothing else can be reasonably ex-
pected than that the colored citizens, wherever
they have votes, will array themselves en-
mGSSe against that party. They would be
foolish if they did not. The colored citizens
of Tennessee would be infatuated to vote for
party that seeks to disfranchise them. So
for the sake of keeping the comparatively
small number of colored men at the North
from the exercise of the elective franchise for
few years, will deliberately sacrifice the con-
troll of nearly every Southern State.
There was time in the history of the De-
mocratic party when it would not have been
guilty of stupidity like this. But that was when
it was actuated and inspired by truly democra-
tic ideas, and when its leaders were men of
sagacity and foresight. Now it has discarded
its ancient principles and its leaders are
'blind leaders Of the blind"
When slavery was overthrown in this
country, 1t must have been apparent to every
rejecting mind that the freedman would soon
become citizen. The idea that we could per-
manently have class of inhabitants, born on
the soil, paying taxes, doing military duty,
and sustaining all the duties and responsible
ties Of citizenship, without enjoying its fran
chises, was absurd. The thing was impossi-
ble The true course, therefore, for the Demo
Gratis was to have at once accepted the situa-
tion, and by graciously conceding what it was
inevitable the colored citizens would other
wise soon achieve have left the door open to
secure their support. Instead OF this, the
Democrats have fought the enfranchisement Of
the colored citizen at every step, and have sue
ceeded in arraying nearly half-million
Of voters in solid phalanx against their party.
And they have done this without gaining
thereby a single substantial advantage. The
anti-negro cry has ceased to have any intiu-
ence upon the people. 1t has become COM
pletely worn out--a fit subject for sneers and
jokes. There never was an instance of great
party's making more complete failure in any
given line Of policy. It's craftsmanship has
descended to that low plane where the Rev.
Petroleum " Nasby is its fttest and most
complete exponent.

Old Issues and New Ones.

Olo Issues and New Ones.
OUR Democratic contemporary asserts that the
Republicans are raising ''the old war issues"
and that ''the people are called upon to act as
If time had stood still for the past two years."
To which we reply that it is the Democracy
that insist upon fighting over old issues, and
who call upon the people to act as if time had
stood still not merely for two years, but for
seven years. Our contemporary still fights its
political battles as though slavery we're yet
alive, as though no great war had been fought,
no grand revolution in favor of freedom and
human progress achieved. The Republicans
are ready to go forward to new issues-to
tariffs, currency, public improvements, and
the like--but the Democrats insist upon being
whipped few more times on the great funda-
mental questions of human rights, and we
suppose we shall have to crafty them. The
old issues will be fully settled in this country
when every man enjoys equality before the ld'0.
When the Democrats are willing to live up to
that primal principle of democracy, then new
issues will be in order, but not before.

the foreign and domestic harvests, the New York
Tribune says:-"Our latest advices from Europe
bring bad news of the crops. The harvest in
France threatens to be much below the average,
and in Portugal the vineyards, which furnish
the principal support OF extensive districts, are
seriously affected by disease In nearly all parts
OF our own country, however, the agricultural
prospects, notwithstanding the wet summer, are
extremely cheering, and without a perceptible
drag upon or own store we can make up the
deficiencies of Europe. We have taught the
Old World countries the arts of war and peace,
and set them many good lesson in politics.
NoW-and not for the first time either-we are
going to feed them.r

The Difference.

OUR Democratic contemporary quotes some
pretty hard sayings of Parson Brownlow in the
days "before the flood, when he was pro-
slavery man. We believe that Governor
Brownlow does not pretend to justify or de-
fend himself for his course at that time, any
more than the Apostle Paul justified his early
persecution of the Church. But the joke of
the thing is, that so long as he maintained
those sentiments, and was a bitter, rampant
pro-slavery champion, our contemporary
thought he was all right. 1t is because he has
seen the error of his ways, and is now trying
to atone for his pro-slavery follies by an
honest and consistent devotion to free princi-
pies, that he has become obnoxious to his
Democratic oensors.

EXEMPTION FROM CHOLERA IN New YORK.
The Tribune of to-day refers to the absence OF
cholera from New York city, and says;-"Our
exemption until the lst of August, from the
attacks Of epidemic cholera, has been the more
noticeable from the fact that that dread disease
has been raging in different portions of our own
country as well as in foreign lands. The South
western cities have suffered heavily from this
cause and from Memphis aud the towns Of far
of Kansas we have the report of many deaths.
