GEN. LEE AS A COLLEGE President. =
Dr. Bagby writes to his paper from Lexington
the following in regard to Gen. Lee:
- And here.it will be in place to relate that,
on my return from Lexington, a gentleman in
. the coach expressed the lear that Gen. Lee S
kindness OF heart and his desire to enlarge the
College might, perhaps, make him too lenlent
and, possibly, lower the scholastic standard.
70 quiet his fears, I told him what had been
{ told me a few days before by a clergyman resld-
q ing in Lexington 4 ~ -.
''Gen. Lee S Office, said he, is no slnecure:
His work taxes to the utmost his powerful
constitution. He registers in his mind. not
only the tace but the name Of each Of the 40
students Nor is that all. He can tcly you the
sanding of each student in, the several branch
es which he studies, and any neglect Of duty is
i promptly punished" -, i.Az 4ae.s.rl
- t'Pnnished!',' exclaimed. 49, -
Etia'sYes.'''Y said he Sin General Lees own
way" .. - .y.ss
How IS that p + enqulred.
!, Well not long since young friend OF nine
], who is in the College, confessed to me that ne
had been, as he expressed it, hauled up
that is, he had received a message TO the
effect that the President desired to see him in
his Office .9.,..l.
-" "'Did Gen Lee lecture you p ta.
4g,,.s' No, indeed
Il Did he scold you2'
''ScoId only wish he had. He talked
to me so kindly that he nearly broke my heart
and you don't catch me in there again, l tell
you. '''
hat is ''Gen. Lees way, not like Stone
wall Jacksou's, but quite as effectual in college
rs was Jackson's in the army. If we add to
this personal supervision Of each individual
student the ab5r of correspondence, "a great
deal of which cannot be taken of his hands,
and otier duties, we may understand how it is
that the report which went the rounds of the
papers few months ago, of the General fail
ing health should have gained credence. He
has improved very much of late, but does not
present the robust appearance to which our
eyes were accustomed during the war,
The reVerent affection and admiration with
which Gen. Lee is regarded by the citizens of
Lexington seems rather to increase than to
lessen-proof enough, if proof were wanting,
of the true greatness of the man. Whenever
he rides through the village, the people watch
him with as much interest as though they had
never seen him before, and if he chance to stop
in the street on some business they ]inger at
their doors and windows as if their eyes would
never tire of gazing upon that face so heroic
vet so full OF all gentleness.

Efsaft T. : r. Il Il,
To-day registration will commences ~
this city. We suppose it is hardly neces.
sary TO remind the voters how innporsaas :
dusv. this Is. Those who will take sne
Mains 70 recsll to mind the deep interest," resi-
which was manifested here last os'ooef
while the election was going On, anu inc ian-
nor,ance which was then attached TO sim
ola vote. will need no stronger argument TO
sonvInce them that they should not neglect
70 register their names. Whilst that cleo
ton was progressing there were some men
who had not registered who would have
been willing to pay literally for the privi-
lege OF voting. But they could not. None
vote except those who register.
We should all act in the spirit exhibited
by Mr.. SouTuALL, Of Albemarle, in his re-
cent speech in the Convention. With the
kindest feelings towards the negroes, who
are duped by designing men of our own
race, and with the purpose to do all we
can to better their condition, we must
nevertheless remember that "aoe are 'c''ate
man," There is no middle ground. There
is no chance for union with party
made up of negroes only. we must take
care of ourselves. We can do so If We
will. All that is necessary is that every
man shonld register his name as voter,
and when the election day comes, cast his
vote as one who knows his rights, and know
ing, dares maintain them.

should keep watch upon this movement,
and, IL they fnd 1t successful, remove to

gressive community with as many negro
preachers as they can reasonably demand
probably With ten thousand. Not that we
have SO many already in the pulpit, but
because every Sambo in Virginia will be-
come a preacher If he can get q Yankee
congregation to listen to him and pay him
enough to clothe aud feed him. They are
all qualified mentally and morally-in
their own estimation. As distinguished
clergyman of this city recently said, we
never knew one of them to be embarrassed
in speaking. elf he has no ideas, he sub
{" stitutes words; if he has no words, he
manufactures them; if the words mean
e nothing, that does not trouble him."

The FRUIT THEY EAT IS OF THE TREE

THE FRUIT THEY EAT IS OF THE TREE
THEY PLANTED. = The garrulous old
Ohioan who writes under the name Of "a
Veteran Observer" says in his last letter
to the New York Times that it must have
been a wise man, ironically speaking,
who drafted the law requiring majority
Of the registered voters to vote upon the
ratification of the State constitutions in
the rebel States. This provision of the
law was put. into it Understandings and
with the full purpose that it should operate
the continued exclusion of the southern
States from the Union. Congress was at
the time anxious to keep us out and we
were anxious to get into the Union. But
things are changed now. Alabama de-
sires to stay out, and Congress is anxious
for her to come into the Union. But the
law did not change with Congress. So
Alabama gets the benefit of provision
intended for her humiliation, and Con-
gress is /" hoist with its own petard."

WHEN DID THE BANKRUPT LAW GO
INro OPERATION Pin another paragraph
we have spoken of this question as an
open one. Since writing that paragraph
the Baltimore Sun, of Saturday, has come
to hand, in which paper we find report of
a decision of Judge GAREy's; in t tbs Court
Of Compton Pleas, upon this very point.
Judge CAREY said:
"But it is not admitted that the act did
not take effect except Gas to the appoint
ment of the officers created thereby and
the PRONUNCIATION of rules and general
orders" until the lst day of June, 1868;
but to the contrary it will be found that
the most important rights and liabilities
deyolve upon parties Immediately after
the passage Of the act; [see sections 70,
81, 29, 80, and 44]-for the right to compel
debtor into involuntary bankruptcy-th
disallowance of preferences, or OF dis
charge to bankrupt and the right to have
him punished for a fraud upon his credi-
tors. All these rights and disabilities
accrue as we'll before the LIST day of June
as afterwards, and are the vital points and
matters of the law. therefore conclude
that the act became law in March, and
that by the 5Oth section there was only
suspension of the remedies, that is of petit
lions or other proceedings under the act,
so that "they should not be filed, received,
or commenced" before the lst day of
June afterwards, when the law should 60
into full operation that is to say, should
furnish all the remedial and other pro-
cesses for the execution of its provisions"

GENERAL HANCoCK.-It seems to be
generally conceded that General HANCOCK
respects the Constitution Of his country,
and gives no countenance to Radicalism.
The editor of the Petersburg Indee,
writing from Washington, says of him:
"General Hancock's opinion of the
situation is very decided. 1t is under
stood that in recent communications to
friends here be denounces the attacks of
Congress on the other departments of
government as new rebellion more dan
gerous than that subdued in the South,
and adds that he fought to preserve q
constitutional Union, and not to erect a
negro or partisan government"
If General HANCOCK should prove to be
as worthy of the honor as he is now sup
posed to be, he will probably be the De-
mocratic nominee for the Presidency.
One of General SCoTT's lieutenants
(P1ERcE) defeated him in the Presidential
race, and similar fate may be reserved
for General GRANT.

The 1sT OF JUNE, NOT THE 1sT OF MARCH.
The Register in Bankruptcy in the city Of
Richmond, in reply to the inquiry by a
lawyer in Petersburg, says:
"Your letter of the lst of February is
to hand. have no doubt that the clause
requiring fifty per cent. Of the bankrupt's
Indebtedness to be paid takes effect on
the 1st of June QS6S), and not the LIST of
March. "-Petersburg Express.
The question decided by the Register
has been much discussed among the grand
army of bankrupts. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that the Register is right
in his decision. Ills language, 81 have no
Doubt" was intended, we imagine, to i'm
ply that while he had no doubt upon the
subject, the question was a controverted
one. It is desirable that it should be ad-
Indicated by some court whose decision
would carry some weight with it.
