Disraeli has suffered another defeat in par
lament, and he now declares that the MN
istry will consider the situation" No
doubt They will consider how they
can manage to evade the popular judg-
ment, and keep themselves in Office
until the next general election. There is a
good deal of similarity between the positions
occupied by the tory ministry in England, and
the radical faction in this country. Both
parties are in the minority, both parties are
attempting to govern in spite of public
opinion; both parties, in order to maintain
power are forced to resort to unconstitutional
eXpcdients, and both parties are very much
addicted to considering the situation" with
view to keep themselves in Office, when the pop
ular Judgment has decided that they shall go
out Nevertheless if the English tories had per-
petrated one half of the atrocities that have
been committed by our American radicals
they would have excited popular revolu-
ton against the government

THURSDAY MORNING, NAY 2s, 1883.

The only point of interest developed by
the investigations of Buffers committee was
damaging in a very unexpected sense. Col.
Cooper, the presidents secretary, was called
before the committee because it was suspected
that he was the agent of certain mysterious
transactions by which the "party of great
moral ideas had been corrupted. But all
that Col. Cooper knew was that he had been
approached by an agent of Senator Pomeroy,
of Kansas, radical impeacher, with PROPOSE
tons to sell his own vote and the votes of
four other known impeachers for the sum of
forty thousand dollars cash in hand. Col
Cooper hesitated; he did not think that the
agent was duly accredited; but this embar-
rassment was removed by the production of
note from the Kansas impeacher, pledging
himself to carry out, in good faith, any ar
rangement made by his agent This neat
little stratagem to turn an honest penny seems
to have failed because Col Cooper cruelty
refused to believe that Senator Morton, of In
diana, and Senator Nye, of Nevada, could be
bought for money. Col. Cooper naively re-
marked, in the course of the investigation,
bnat IL bA0o0 bOhIiOM0h MOA0 I0aiiy III tne
market, they could make better and more
profitable bargain with the impeachers than
with the friends of the President Thus it
appears that the radicals we're perfectly will
ling to be bought; but their feelings were
touched when they found that nobody wanted
to buy them. They were quite as indignant
against Col Cooper and the President, as a
certain Egyptian lady against Joseph when
her overtures were rejected. Whether or not
Col Cooper, in his effort to escape, left his
coat tail in the hands of the prehensile
Pomeroy, we are not informed

The SUGAR CROP OF LoUIsIANA.-We are
indebted to the publishers OF the Price Cur
rent for aNPamphlet containing detailed
statement of the sugar crop of Louisiana for
1s67-6s. The total crop is 81, CAT hogsheads.
Plaquemines makes the largest returns, 5s45
ho2heads, and Assumption the next largest,
$500. st. Landry returns only hogsheads,
Yermillion 20, Pointe Coupee 10, and Calca-
sieu 9. 1t must be rememberd that HOinte
Coupee was almost entirely overaowed last
year, and also large portion of Iberville
West Baton Rouge, and other sugar raising
parishes. The crop of this year ought to be
much larger than last by the increased area
In cultivation. There are indications that this
culture is reviving, and we may expect that,
In very few years it will reach, and perhaps
exceed its former development, when the
crop ranged from 100000 to 500, 600 hogs

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.


The catalogue of this university for its
forty-fourth session, 1S67-66, bears internal
evidence that its present condition, taking all
things IN consideration is as satisfactory as
could have been expected, and that it is en-
tering upon future destined to add alike to
its elements of stability and prosperity. The
total number OF students whose names are
given in this catalogue is ATS, of which 100
are from Virginia, the remainder being from
nineteen other States, all Southern, supposing
Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland to be such,
except New York, Illinois, California, Penn
sylvania and Minnesota. An accompanying
statement of the departments of instruction,
and the courses and methods of study, is
marked by breadth and a variety which fully
sustain the reputation of this illustrious
school as a university in fact as well as in
title. Besides the usual academic curri-
culum, embracing the classical and modern
languages, abstract mathematics, natural
philosophy. moral philosophy, rhetoric,
general literature, etc., the same de-
partment comprises professorships of APP
Piled Chemistry and of applied mathematics
including engineering and architecture; and
instruction is given especially designed to
qualify students for mining explorations and
operations. In addition to all this are a
medical department and law school, each in
its province comprehensive and thorough.
The general scheme of this university in
short, is worthy of the intellect and the aspi-
ration of its founder, Thomas Jefferson, and
for university of scope stands almost, if not
quite alone, on this continent. The expenses
of an academic student for the session of nine
months are estimated at $500; and those of
law and medical students, respectively, at
$685. and 1896.

The "General of our Armies" was sere-
naded few nights ago, and called out for a
speech, on which occasion he volunteered the
superfuous information that he did not know
how to speAk-meaning probably that he had
nothing to say. This declaration was raptur-
ously applauded, but when the General of
our Armies stoutly asserted that he did not
want to learn how to speak, the enthusiasm
of the audience was irrepressible. Of course,
after this official announcement of his views
by the General of our Armies" oratory
viii be discontinued in Congress, stump
speaking will be abandoned by the "trooly
loil" radicals, and the study of rhetoric will
be abolished from our schools. Who has a
right to speak when the General of our
Armies praises the virtue of silence, and
who has a right to think when the General
of our Armies declines to originate an idea
or to form an opinion?
