STUDENTS ~. FACULTY.

We are sorry 10 notice that differences have
arisen in Williams College Mass, highly re-
spectacle seat of learning. the purpOrt and up
shot of which may be stated a. follows:
/. The Faculty, finding that the students,
on slight and insufficient grounds, were re-
"peatedly and protractcdly absent from coll
"lcge duties, and thus from recitations,' passed
law TO abatc the evil.
H. By this statute, it was provided that each
"abscnce from any recitation, excused or I'M
excused should count ~ zero in the record
" of standing
III. Where the absence was shown to have
been inevitable each officer was allowed the
option of allowing the recitation to be made
up ut such time as he should appoint
The Faculty, i'll n published address, say
1t was our intention in all cases in which the
"claim was just to accept cheerfully the labor
"of extra Rotations 1--WE deemed il, how
"ever, eminently fair they add. that absence
Gin other cases should carry with it the pre-
sumption of ignorance of the ground passed
cover, rather than the opposite presumption Of
knowledge. and that it should therefore affect
"the standing of the absentee"
And, pray, why should MT it Pray, what is
there in this simple regulation which should
cause these young gentlemen ito call upon the
" Faculty to annul tG" And why should these
students failing in their "call' upon the Fac
ulty, which really might have been little more
respectfully expressed solemnly resolve ito re-
" gard the imposition rs a blow aimed mt their
"personal honor and manhood r. They will,
we trust, be little less sensitive about their
manhood when they get little older. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world for students to
hold meetings and to declare their connection
with the college To cease from this date but
what will papa and mamma have to say about
ltY 1t seems to be quite new style of coll
lege discipline for young men to take the gov
eminent of the seminary into their own hands,
whereaslng, and resolving and declaring, and
pronouncing, and promulgating, and proclaim
ing, and reyolutionizing in this free aud indie
pendent manner. In ancient times students
waited TO be turned out but these Williams
Boys have most truculcntly and socmnly
turned themselves out as if the disciplined
were the best possible judges of the proprioty
of discipline itself. If we had a son at Viii
linms College, and he came homo breathing
fire and slaughter against the Faculty, wo are
inclined TO believe that we should transport
tho violent youth back to his Alma Mater
and leave him in her nurturing arms-uness,
indeed she should decline to receive him. M
she very Justly might do. The Prescriptions
are all against the propriety of this under
graduate folly. If the Faculty of Williams
College are incapable Of governing these boys

STATE HISTORIES.


A "School History of PENNSYLVANIA from
the Earliest settlements to the Present Time,
by j. Il. Sypher," has just been issued by j. b.
LippincOtt & Co., Philadelphia. Though con-
densed into n neat 12mO. of 344 pages, it en-
bodies. the more important facts gerinane to
its subject, from the discovery OF Delaware
Bay by Capt Hudson in 1909, down to the
death of James Buchanan and Ibaddeus Ste
vens in 1868. 1t embodies accounts Of
all the battles fought on Pennsylvania
soil. from Braddock's fatal field in 1866,
tbrourh Brandywine and Germantown,
to Lees crushing defeat at Gettysburg
in 1863 Indian attacks devastatlons and mas
sacres, whereof many followed Braddocks de-
feat, but of which that known as the wyoming
Massacre is alone widely famed, darkened the
entire Colonial century of Pennsylvania his
torv-IIannastOwn, the county seat OF West
moreand which till 1871 included that half OF
the State which lies westward of the Alleghe-
nies. having been surprised and utterly de-
stroyed in 1882. Waynes successful Western
expeditiOn and treaty of Greenvilie, in 1875,
may be said to have first given real and lasting
security TO the pioneer settlements of the State
founded by Penn.
A large portion of this volume is wisely
given to the Industrial progress of Pennsylva-
MIA. Not merely are the successive stages In
the progress of settlement and population
westward and northward from Delaware Bay
clearly marked, but the infancy and growth OF
Iron-making the discovery OF Anthracite Coal
with the steps whereby the use of that fuel,
for years deemed impracticable, was introduced
and extended, until the 36j tuns mined III lo2O
had swelled to 12,6J0,G1 tuns in 1851 50 with
the BituminOus Coal of her Western Counties
she having 1900 square miles of the latter to
barely 40 of the former Her production OF
Pig Iron, begun in 1920 in Chester County,
has been increased and diffused until it amount
ed last year to s39,40G tuns. Pennsylvania is
first among our States in the production OF
both Coal and Iron, and second only to Massa-
chusetts in the range and extent of her Manu-
featuring industry. She has 912 miles OF Ca
nails, which cost $3s,GG0,397, and 1907 miles OF
completed Railroads, which cost about $3.50,
OOOOOO-being foremost Of all the States except
possibly Illinois in Railroads, and before all
but New-York in Canals. The general sobrety
and diligence of her people, her central posi-
ton, the extent and value OF her internal re-
sources, her substantial wealth and great IA
cilties for INSTRUMENTATION, assure her a
steady growth and commanding position.
Mr. Sypher's book may yet be improved; but
il is the best State History for common use
within our knowledge, and we hope some one
will compile one as good of our own State.
When he does, we shall urge that it be adopt
ed as a reader in all our common schools and
semiuaries, and thus brought home to every
family and freside.

We print this morning two letters from Col
lector Baey-One to the editor of The EUenin9
Post, explaining why Dstrict-AttOrney Court
ney has not managed to try one revenue case
since last Winter and another to the Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr.. Bailey's letters are like
Mrs. Nickleby's speeches-they have no posi-
tive beginning and no end, and give us no
light
Here ia the problem which we commend to
Mr. Bailey:
Millions hare been stolen from the Treasury
and no one has been punished. The officers UhO
are paid for the detection Of fraud are the Col
Iectors and assessors. The officer uhOse business
IL is TO prosecute is the District Attorney. The
frauds are not detected, the there's are not pun
iShed, and the money is stolen. What is the
remedy?
This is the only question and this is the opin-
ion of every man of common sense who studies
the matter THE REVENUE Is NOT COLLECTED!
The unfortunate victims of Mr. Bailey's enter
prise and sagacity now in Jail are not in the
Internal Revenue service. Neither are Blais
dell, YcatOn, Depew, Messmore, Watson, and
the others he mentions. They are not Colec-
tors or Assessors. The country will not accept
it as an answer to its just inquiries that these
men are not what they ought to be. The coun-
try does ask from its ministers-men who are
paid to do its work-rhy the rOrk is not done
Mr. Bailey does not answer this question.
Until he does answer it, his letters are of about
as much value in this controversy as Mrs.
Nickleby's remarks upon the effect of leather
upon French shoemakers.

The letter from Alabama, printed herewith

tention TO the fact that it was written the day
after Gen. Grants election-henec mainly from
data which transpired before that event. We
feel confident that the worst is over. and
that matters wiz improve henceforth till Gen.
Grant takes possession Of the White House;
from which time, we hope to see it safe to be

The n. Y. Times prints an article on Gen.
Sherman which, in the main, is just and de-
served. Among other things it mentions this
incident

We do not see how there can be any COM
mcndation given to Gen. Sherman for his neg
lect of his staff officers. If Gen. Grant had
treated Sherman and Sheridan in the way
Sherman is said, by his eulogist to have
treated the men around him, he might have
gone through the war as Colonel. We do not
think it is n matter for commentator in a
great commander, or a man of great power
to overlook the services of those around him.
The highest order of merit is that which dis
Germs merit and rewards it. Napoleon was re-
markablo for this quality, and Gen. Sherman
should scarcely be- praised for the want of it,

The EreRing Post declares, with truth, thai
the police are now the only protection left to
the honest citizens of NewY York, and they
protect us only because they are beyond tls
control of the Ring" But suppose the Ring
once secures the Legislature will it not, asks
The Post, ut once appoint Police Board OF It's
own members Our contemporary proposes TO
avoid this danger by abolishing the system OF
Metropolitan Commissions, and having tho
Police Board elected by the citizens, as it used
to be. That is 10 say, lest the " Ring should
chance to get control of the police at soma
future day, The Post would give them such
control at once. We do not appreciate the
force Of such an argument.

Because THE TRIBUNE is anxious to have
either the men removed who for years have
been in charge of the Revenue and have sue
ceeded in allowing a hundred million dcilan
to be stolen, or the criminals taken and
punished, The n. \. Times charges it with
being the organ of the Whisky Ring" This
Ring" is supposed to embrace men who have
made money by defrauding the Revenue. This
money has been made either through the con
nivance or the incOmpetency of the Revenue
officials THE TRIBUNE wants those officials
removed; The Times wants them retained. The
interest of the Whisky Ring is certainly to
have the mon kept in Office who have, enabled
its members to get rich. Let the people judge
which journal is opposed to the Ring

We hope that the promised investigation into
the conduct of two policemen at the time OF
the assault upon Mr. Isaac W. England. man
aging editor of The san, of which we published
an account yesterday, will be pushed with the
utmost vigor. 1t seems hard TO say ut present
which was the more outrageous behavior, that
of the Police or that of the drunken aSsalants
If the action of the officers has not been mis-
represented, the public voice will demand for
them a severe punishment. Mr.. England is a
gentleman widely known and universally re-
speoted, and it will be quite rs much on his per
sonal account us out of consideration for the
general welfare that good citizens will rejoice
when the culprits in this affair get their de-
serts.

The London Telegraph has been flashing its
tail over the sentence of poor man who wa,
sent to prison for 21 days for stealing few
carrots. We do not see why the slight valns
of the articles taken should wholly excuse the
crime. If theft is to be punished at all, the
punishment must be impartial. Ii it is right
to steal handful of carrots, why not TO steal
handful of anything elsof We remember the
case of aman in New York WHOM sent to State
Prison for twenty years for highway robbery
by which he secured Il plumber Of six cents.
The punishment was severe; but 1t was wise,
for il prevented scores of greater crimes.

rict-Attorney Courtney is not to be sus-
pended from Office just yet. After numerous
conferences yesterday between the President
and Mr.. Fullerton and Mr. Evarts and Mr..
McCulloch, and an examination of Mr.. Court
ney, the President came to the conclusion that
Mr. FuIlertOn's charges were insufficient ground
for the suspension of the District Attorney.
Fullerton thereupon posted off for New-York
to get the requisite evidence against Courtney.
When the case of Fullerton rs. Courtney shall
have been settled the Government interests
will probably be attended TO.

in Mr.. Fullerton though that does not seem
probable-but we do not see how, even II he
he dishonest, he can implicate those who have
done no wrong. His report will not be CON

of investigation go on If one man shall break

On the 9th of November the Republicans OF
Kentucky held large meeting at Lexington
to celebrate the election of Grant and ColiaX.
There was 10 disturbance during the pro-
ceedngs: nobody was harmed by them, ana
the burden of the speeches was peace ana
brotherhood. Yet the next day all the princl-
pal Union men who took part in the meeting
were served with notices from lawlcss Rebel
organization, commanding them on pam OF
death TO leave the State within thirty days. And
experience will not allow us to believe that
these orders and threats are merely the empty
mouthings of truculcnt blackguards. The ku-
Klux Klan have a fancy for murder The
District Commander has expressed deter
mination TO scOur the country" In search OF
the rufians, and the Union men have called
meeting to devise means for Kidding the State
of the secret bands which have so long dis
graced it, Our correspondent at Frankfort
telegIaphcd yesterday that it was seriously
proposed to aycnge every murder of Union
man by the death Of nine leading Rebels We
do not believe that so infamous proposition
will be for moment entertained. III courts
afford no redress we must call upon the army
Trouble. we fear, is imminent. but will soon
be over. The Democracy of the North are
calling out to their rampant Southern brethren
TO sheathe the poniard and extinguish the
