the Crown would lose nothing.
The vote Of 1872 to 81 against the bill was
somewhat surprising for the large majority
but the defeat of the bill by the Lords was
looked for. The Bishop of Oxford declared
that the bill would not satisfy the Irish
who would be content with nothing less
than the separation of Ireland from Eng,
land. The Bishop is right and so are the
Irish. But that was no argument for mn
act of injustice in defeating the bill. The
Church establishment only strengthens the
desire of the Irish to he relieved from the

The Issue.

The more we sec of the spirit of the

the more convinced We are that they will
present fair and square issue to Radical
ism upon the unconstitutional, ruthless,
and destructive measures of Congress.
Radicalism, indeed, consists of nothing
earthly but reconstruction" Its party
has no principle, no theory of government,
outside of the Rehabilitation and African
ization of the southern States and the
holding Of the power, patronage, and trea-

COMMODORE Ma URY TO BE Il PROFESSOR.
LEXINGTON, VA, July |, 1868.

LEXINGTON, Va, July |, 1858.
The Virginia Military Institute has been
SO long and so favorably known that news
from it at any time would be welcome, but
more especially now, just on the eye of
commencement. The examinations have
been in progress for several days past, and
will probably be finished tomorrow. They
are entirely oral, and very rigid. As 9
general thing, the cadets have passed them
very crsditably.
Friday is commencement day, and visit
ors are beginning to come in already. Be-
sides the Board of Visitors, several other
distinguished men are in bTn-among
whom are General J. I. Morgan and Cen
eral Page, late of the Confederate army,
and General stone, of the Federal army.
General Beauregard is anxiously expected
by the next packet.
The Board of Visitors assembled yester-
day, with the President tex-Goyernor
Letcherl in the chair. The able and ener-
getic superintendent, General F. Il. Smith,
then read his report, which shows how
faithfully the Faculty have discharged
their duties and how wonderfully the insti-
tuition is advancing. This can be readily
seen from the following extracts
This report closes the twenty-ninth
year of the life Of the school, and thc
| twenty-ninth year of my administration of
it; and l would reverently acknowledge the
goodness of kind Providence which has
watched over it @ .@llng this eventful period,
, and by whose continued blessings it pre-
sents to-day 50 many evidences of prosperity
and USEFULNESS.
Three years ago the war left it ruin.
Its beautiful buildings had been destroyed
by fire its library and apparatus were
. gone its professors and cadets. homeless
and almost heartlsss, found no abiding
place amidst its once joyous and familiar
scenes-all was desolation here. Its trea-
sury, too, was bankrupt: no supplies Of
any kind, in the general wreck, remained,
while universal gloom and dependency
weighed down the public heart.
1t was in the midst of such surroundings
as these that our Board of Visitors met in
| September, 1865, at the call of the Super
| intendent. Without hesitation they re-
solved at once to reopen the institution
and although they could offer no salaries,
they determined to call back all the regular
professors to their appointed work, while
the vacancies of Jackson, Rodes, and
Crutchteld were filed by new and efficient
appointees. Poor as they knew the insti-
tuition to be, the purpose was to build il up
upon the strength and earnestness and
work of its Faculty. The 18th of October
was the day designated for the resumption
of acad emic duties. Sixteen cadets, with
out tire usual conveniences of quarters in
barra cks, or other academic arrangements.
responded to the call, and amidst the
ruins of their Alma Muter resumed the
duties they had commenced during the
war. Accessions~ to this number were
steadily made during the academic year
until it finally reached ffty-fve cadets.

the nemocraaic Convention.

The Now York papers are full Of specu-
lations and sensational reports touching the
inclinations and declarations of prominent
men whose names have been put forth i'll
connection with the Presidency. The tele-
graphic department will give the reader the
more important of the speculations and
statements. The day for the assembling OF
the Convention is so near that it is q waste
of words to indulge in anticipations. Re
suits will soon be announced.
The New York Express thus describes
the hall in which the Convention will as
semble:
"The spacious and beautiful building of
the Tammany Society, where the Conven-
ton will be held, is now being rapidly deco
rated for the occasion. 1B the street oppo-
site the structure is O great triumphal arch
of evergreen, which is to be ornamented
with the national colors.
"The main hall, where the Convention
will decide on candidate for the Presi-
dency, will present magnificent appear
/ ance when the decorations are completed.
Over the platform there is splendid
canopy of blue and gold, in which a statue
of Washington is to be deposited on broad
pedestal. Over and on either side of the
rostrum are representations, in oil colors, of
the arms of every State in the Union-cach
being gracefully surmounted with the stars
and stripes. The arms Of New York, Hi
nois, and Missouri are over the platform
to the right of which are the arms of Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Oregon, Kansas, Ala
bama, Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin, and that
on the left are those of Mississippi, Mime
sofa, Vermont, Tennessee, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Florida, Arkansas, and Nebraska.
Running parallel with the ceiling, on
line with the rostrum, are the arms of the
other States. The galleries and every por-
ton of the hall are decorated profusely with
bunting, at cost of over SIS, 600. The main
chandelier has $40 brilliant Jets. 1t is
twenty-four feet high and eighteen feet in
circumference"
The hotels we're full, and one ceaseless
clamor of tongues filled all their halls and
passages. Rumors about the first and
second choice of delegations flew on the
wings Of the wind. The Manhattan Club
was the scene Of u constant current Of dele
gates from all parts of the Union.

nraver meeting every Sunday afternoon
has been very interesting. The nj
tsndonce at morning prayers in the.
chanel has been much larger during
tho mast session than ever before. The
finances of the Association are in most
healthy condition, and the library has had
valuable accessions, though donations are
still earnestly desired. The reading-room
has been regularly supplied with religious
papers. The Association has sustained four
mission Sunday schools in the regions
around, in which they have had engaged
thirty-four teachers, who have walked (eVen
during the winter) an average Of from Six
to ten miles every Sunday. They have
sustained in the College chapel colored
Sunday school, with an average attendance
of one hundred and six. The Association has
appointed committee to look out new stu
dents at the beginning of each session,
and seek to bring them under proper In
fuences. The report closed with thanks to
the Faculty for active and practical interest
in the Association, and earnestly exhorted
the students who should return the next
session to more earnest activity in the good
work.
John P. Shelley, Esq, of Southwestern
Virginia, was then introduced as the one
chosen to address the Association on this
occasion. His theme was Orr Duty as
Southern Men," He spoke fuently and
gracefully, and his address showed fine
rhetorical powers, and upon some other &C.
casion would have been deemed appropriate
and good. But your correspondent must
confess land in this he expresses the gene
raj sentiment) that he felt that noble op-.
portunity to do good was lost in speech OF
certainly very questionable taste consider
ing the occasion and the objects of the AS
ISOLATION. There were not q few earnest
souls present who felt like calling out DR..
Read, DR.. John A. Broadus, Rev. Mr..
Lindsay, or some one else present, to speak
to those young men about to step forth to
the battle of life some words of Christian
counsel. and to seek to plant in their minds
and hearts some seeds of gospel truth.
1t seemed to some of us, too, that the
Sabbath evcning-or, at least, the first eve
ming of the commencement exercises
would have been more appropriate for the
anniversary of the Christian Association.
But all true weli-wis ers of our noble Uni
versity-all who dire the veal OF our
young men-will rejoice that so prominent
place is given to an organization having
such noble ends in view.

day proper. and the address OF the orator
