STEWART COLLEGES.

We are happy to lay the following
communication before our readers
DIR. Lyon, late President elect, was
we are informed, most favorably dis
posed to accept the position; but in
Difference to the earnest and general
wish of his congregation, has con-
cluded to remain in charge of the
Presbyterian Church, at Columbus,
Miss. OF the gentleman whom the
Trustees have called to preside over
the College, until permanent Presi-
dent can be secured, it were super
fiuous for us to say anything in this
community and to our readers. We
give the communication, without
further remark, than to express our
qualification that the College resumes
operations under such promising au-
spices, and our sincere wish for its
immediate and lasting success
In acceding to the request of the
Trustees and accepting, temporarily,
the executive Office of Stewart Coll
lege, l beg to assure parents and
guardians, who intend sending their
boys to our Institution, they may do
so i'm well founded confidence that
they will receive careful and compe-
tent instruction. The gentlemen al
ready secured, as professors, are tried
teachers; and others of first-rate
qualifications will be engaged as &C.
casion may require.
Prof. Quarles, educated at the Uni
versity of Virginia, itself guaran-
tee of thorough scholarship--has had
large and successful experience as an
instructor of youth, both in his native
State, Virginia, and in Tennessee.
His late patrons, i'm this community,
are, believe, unanimous in favor
able Judgment. Prof. Quarles will,
for the present, give instruction in
the classics, in addition to superin-
tending the preparatory department..
Prof. Hageman, favorably known in
Kentucky, to one member of the Fac
ulty, and connected with Tennessee
by marriage, comes to us with the
highest testimonials. Graduating
with honor, devoted to all mathemat-
ical studies, which he has made q
speciality, and of extensive expert
ence, for his years, in teaching; his
influence will certainly be of the
happiest character on all youth under
his tuition.
Perhaps the other members of the
Faculty need not be mentioned in the
way of introduction or commenda-

THE baltimore Statesman, comment,
ing on the result Of the recent cleo
tions in Virginia and Tennessee, gives
a much better explanation Of those re-
suits than is TO be found in the asser-
ton chat they originated in Above OF
negro or universal suffrage. The
Statesman regards it as "reaction
against prescription" This is the
true theory. The people are disposed
always to magnanimity and justice.
It is impossible that, with their con-
sent, prescription should last forever.
The Statesman says:
The political contests in Tennessee,
Virginia and other States, have de-
Veloped the progress and power of
this sentiment. In Virginia those
who are opposed TO test oaths are the
leading and most intelligent of the
Republicans of that state. Such men
as Lieutenant Governor Lewis, Frank
lin Stearns, aud others, have from the
first sought to remove political disa-
bilities from their fellow-citizens.
In Tennessee, Governor Senter, who
opposes Stokes and the party of pro-
scriptiOn in that State. is supported
by many of the most Influential MEM
bers of the old Republican party.
Even in West Virginia, where pro-
scription has had full swing,
and sought to p~ulverize what it
called " rebelsN to powder, nearly
every Republican press in the State is
now opposed to the requirement of
test oaths. The Wheeling LltelIf-
geaoer, probably the leading ryan of
that party in the State, has argued
against the requirement in leading
and elaborate editorial articles. It

ment which has come over the Re-
publican party on this subject, and

ing Republican papers. It also %
peals to the prOscripti0nists with one
consideration which, we think. Is
very likely 10 have more effect on
them than any appeals to justice or
reason. 1t is that, in this country of
political changes, it is possible that
Democracy may again be i'm the
ascendancy, and what if they should
invent and impose test oaths where
by prOseriptionists should be them
selves prescribed? That IS a sug-
inquiry, and must look To
some of them like the handwriting on
he wall. We dare say that the

The louisville Col0ieg-J0nnaj has

1t is well to promise fair and pay

them. 1t is always unfortunate for
US if what We say or do to-day we
have occasion to regret tomorrow.

you leap, is a good motto. He must

might not have been selected had it
been left to the voice of the commu-
nifty he essays TO represent. He
should also be modest enough to al
low the possibility that his readers
might have made a better choice.
Besides, if the tools of his trade are
his own, the thoughts which he pub
fishes and the matter he prepares for.
his patrons belong to them. He has
paid for one, and they pay for the
other. So that, Independently of
ones self-respect, and the obligation
to act genteelly, due from every man
to society, il is evident that the pub
fisher and editor owe a debt to the
public, which has a property in his
publications and has a chief right to
dictate what their character shall be.
Every civilized and cultivated com

If not ability, from the newspaper
