A letter from Newt York-appa-
rently by well-informed writer-to
the Louisville Courier, says that the
agent of the Virginia College, over
which Gen. Lee presides, has been
kindly received by great many pro-
minent Republicans. and their re-
sponse was generous, liberal and
without conditions. The writer adds:
''Dr. Tying, sr., was the only man to
whom MIR. Walton applied that de-
manded any concession. He said:
That if the college would admit ne
groes, he would lend his influence in
its behalf To this, Mr.. Walton re
piled: THAT until Columbia College.
Of New York city, and other first
class Northern Institutions, admitted
negroes, it was not reasonable 10
expect Southern college to adopt
that policy"

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.-A young
Michigander recently dreamed
dream, in which his future wife ap-
peared to him and invited him to
come to Fremont, in Ohio, and mar
ry her, promising that the romance
should end as happily as do all the
children's fairy stories. At breakfast
the dreamer told his dream to a sym
pathetic old lady, who advised him
to "mnke it come true" as far as he
could, by going to Fremont. To
Fremont he went, and found it to
correspond with the Fremont of his
dream. He also found lady who
corresponded also. To her he told
his dream, and invited her to help
him in fulfilling it She thought IL
was rather rushing things" but
finally acquiesced. And now they
are married and awaiting the confirm
alton of the latter part of the vision,
which paradoxically promised much
prosperity and many children.

North Carolina, South Carolina and

Mr.. j. T. Wilkins publishes q card
IN the Spartanburg Spartan, in which
he says that he did some time ago
join the Union League, under the
impression that the object of that
organization was the restoration of
the Union upon right principles, ("
but upon finding that the league was
working for equality of races" he
severed his connection with it.
Mr.. Halpine, in letter to the
New York Citizen, says: "Mr. Chase,
in private, makes no conoealment of
his opinion that, politically, impeach-
ment is the worst blunder of the
radicals; while, legally, to use the ex-
pressive vernacular, it has not q leg
to stand upon"
Mr.. T. w. Woodward, in the
Winnsboro Ne,Cs, of yesterday, throws
hot shot into would-be Senator Rut-
land, who, in his recent answer to
Mr.. Dwight, in the same journal,
asserted that he now stands, lust
where he stood seventeen years ago,
when he was strong secessionist.

VALUABLE DIsCovEnY.-Mr. John
w. Goodwin, one OF the most expe-
rlenced and practical chemists in
this city, has recently discovered a
process for bleaching paper stock
and other similar substances, which
is destined, We believe, to prove very
valuable. The process is not only
thorough, but rapid in its action,
and possesses advantages which can
not but be admitted by all who have
any knowledge of the manufacture
and bleaching Of paper stock.

The persecution of the Jews in
Roumania, which has been going on
for several months, belongs among
the most disgraceful exhibitions Of
religious intolerance in modern times.
Owing to the earnest remonstrances
of most of the great powers of Eu-
rope, the Government of Roumania
now processes to have put n stop to
it. Unfortunately, there is great
reason for doubling the sincerity of
the professions of the Roumanian
Government, and for fearing q repe-
ton OF the outrages, which, with the
connivance of the Government, have
been committed against the Jews.

It has been found that about ninety
per cent. of these workmen get more

flying chips, metal turnings, borings,

found to be too heavy, too expensive,

The New York 1Sun gives brief
statement why the income tax is. un-
constitutional. It says the Constitu-
ton provides that all direct taxes
snail De levied upon the States in
proportion to their population. Con-
gress has no power to levy any
direct tax upon Individual citizens,
and must impose such taxes upon the
States and upon them only. The
income tax is a direct tax; it is levied
not upon the States, but upon indi-
viduals. and therefore it is unconsti
tutional, and cannot rightfully be
collected of any man.
