1t is certainly bold and novel step that has
been taken by the Board OF Regents OF the
State University of California-a step which
places it in advance even of Cornell Univer-
sity in some respects. In announcing that all
fees will be abolished, and that the new lnstl-
tuition will be free to all properly qualified ap-
plicants from all countries, its managers nave
taken advantage of the munifcent endowments
of the University to establish it on basis
that must secure its place as the leatlng lnsti-
tuition of learning on the Pacific Coast. In the
way of endowment this University has not
only obtained the valuable Congressional land
grant but is directly under State patronage,
and, still farther, has received several very
large gifts and requests from wealthy citizens
of California. Its property and income
are sufficiently large to furnish 1t ample
means for the payment of all its ex-
penses including the salaries of its professors
and officers which have been fixed at figures
sufficiently large to attract some of the ablest
scholars from this city and other parts OF the
country. In fact both as regards Its faculty
and its revenues, the new University must
take a prominent place among American instl'
tutions of learning, and we have no doubt that
the liberal programme it has now adopted Will
secure it an abundance of students. California
is in the habit of doing things that astonish
the other parts of the country, but it never
astonished us more pleasantly than it has now
done in opening freely the doors of its State
University to the young men of all countries
who are DESTROYS Of the higher learning
Let it include the young romen, and we shall
ask for nothing moro.

TIE POLICY OF VENGEANCE.

We received, at late hour last evening,
printed slips of Gen. Buffers reply to certain
suggestions lately addressed to him IN these
columns. We content ourselves now with say
ing that the main points of this reply are:
1. Gen. Butler still thinks that if at least
half dozen Rebel leaders had been hung the
Country would now be more united and pros
porous.
Q. He thinks the last chance for this con
summation was lost when n certain gentleman,
holding that Government should either try It's
prisoners or release them, promised, after Mr..
jefferson Davis had been held two years with
out Trial, that he would be responsible for the
appearance Of the prisoner whenever the Gov
eminent did want to try him.
3. Gen. Butler thinks that the worst men at
the South now are the newspaper editors, aud
hints similar opinion about those editors at
the North who believed in fighting while the
war was in progress, and in peace when the
war was ended.
4. lie is as anxious for the XVIII Amend
ment as we are, for purer motives, and because
he knows more about it.
5. lie thinks that we are responsible for the
condition of Georgia.
G. lie thinks that the troubles in Tennessee
arise from allowing all the citizens to vote
that things would have gone on smoothly il
we had kept the majority DISTINGUISHED.
z. He points to the present condition Of Mis-
sissippi and Texas as the result of a wiser
policy than Universal Suffrage and Universal
Amnesty and thinks that the ALTERATION in
that phrase, which has a tendency to delude
weak minds, has warped our judgment.
8. He insists that he will not accept an
adoption of the XVIII Amendment as an evil
dence of fitness for return to representation
and removal of disabilities, but will hold in
quest on the motives of such acceptance, and
insist on being satisfied that it comes from
the heart.
0. lie thinks his view must be right and ours
wrong, because he was reelected to Congress,
and we were not elected to tho New-York
COntrollership.
TO- lie has been persuaded that we "sacri-
feed n friend and henchman" to purchase the
support in this contest of an enemy of Gen,
Grants Administration.
II. lie would like to have more correspond
ence on the subject but does nit want the
public to see it.
Such and so many as these long incubating
arguments in favor of the Policy of Vengeance
are, We commend them to the careful atten-
ton of our readers

Certain Englishmen who do not probably be-
lieve in Haunted Houses have advertised for
one, with q view to scientific observations
This is q step in the right direction, and these
are investigators who will not, we are certain,
be troubled by ghosts. We heartily wish
whenever domicil is reported to be " haunted
that some intelligent persons would take a
short lease of the premises, and between them
manage to naugurate an insomnious vigil, be-
ing all the time sharply on the look out for
mischievous tricksters and for the natural
causes of what may seem to be supernatural.
The experiment, within our own knowledge,
has been tried with reassuring results among
which we reckon a rise in the value of the
property.

Boston, we fear, is in a bad way. Gilmore,
and the Coliseum, and the corrupt hordes from
Chicago and New-York who filled the sacred
shed and tramped across the revered Common
during Jubilee week. have stuffed the heads OF
the Puritans with variety, and now the stald
capital of New England has rushed into a
giddy round of dissipation at which we should
think Faneuil Hall would tumble down i'll dis
may 1t seems that fashionable parties" in
that erst decorous city give themselves up to
"the German and other varieties OF
round dances, and between the rounds
the young ladies and gentlemen are re-
freshed with beef tea "This," remarks that
most respectable newspaper, The Transcript
Z" is more creditable and nutritious than cham
"pagne;" which far be it from us to deny.
But think what frightfully vigorous dancing
Boston German must be, if the dancers have
to be kept up with nutriment like this. An
Irish breakdown must be ethereal mildness
compared with this humping of Boston heels
and toes, and a round dance in the parlors OF
BEACON street must be something like the whlrl-
ing of the bowling dervishes. We have not
heard whether arrowroot and mustard plasters
are also reckoned among the proper supplies for
fashionable entertainment; but they soon
will be if things go on at this rate.

The Canvassers of the City Of New-COrk
met again yesterday and looked over the So
called returns for Police Justice in the Eighth
Judicial District. AS the elected man was one
of those Iwho know the tricks of Tammany,
and as he had over thousand majority, it was
considered unsafe to attempt to count him out.
and so Mr.. John Hardy was put on a back
seat. Justice Ledwith owes his election to the
non partisan voters who believe him to be an
upright magistrate What has happened since
the voting we do not know but if there has
been any bargain with Tammany, any ar
rangement whereby he was not counted
out, it will como out and he must
meet the responsibility. We do not assume
that such is the case but one may reasonably
be suspicious of the scoundrelly announce
ment previous to the farce of voting that the
Tammany managers would count in or count
out whomsoever they pleased. If Mr.. Led
with proves what he proposed before the vote,
to be independent of Sweeny, we shall gladly
record the full measure of his success.

The Hon. John Hill, member of Congress from
the Fourth District, New-Jersey, deserves credit
for having suggested an idea concerning the
Franking privilege. which We hope to see
promptly acted upon. Some days before the
meeting of Congress he published a letter in
his district, asking his constituents to unite in
petitions to Congress for the repeal of this
odious tax upon the poor mans letters and
newspapers for the benefit of place holders.
The idea deserves wider circulation than Mr..
Hills district. Let people who want cheap
postage everywhere unite in calling upon their
Congressman for it. After such a united effort,
let us see who the Congressman are who insist
upon keeping up high rates of postage,
and insuring an annual deficiency in the postal
appropriation bills in order that their own let
tiers may go free.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-12-16

Another flood of protests came down upon
the Board of Canvassers of New-COrk yester-
day. Go on, gentlemen. When rogues, &c.
While Tammany was merely counting out Re-
publicans the course was clear, for Republi-
cans had no rights. But when Greek meets
Greek then comes the tug of war. The count
ing out of lifelong Democrats is different
matter. They know the ropes, they have run
the machine they have worked the gangs of
repeaters, and can put their fingers on the
false voters and false counters. Tammany
is riding high horse, but pride
"goeth before destruction and naughty
:" spirit before a fall" "A house divided
against itself cannot stand" Mr.. Sweeny's
pocket is little too full; he has got or tries
to put therein some rebellious subject who will
make trouble. All right; the more the mer-
rier. b. the time he has counted out half n
dozen Florence Scannells he will have his
royal hands full. Honest men may be too dis
trustful Of their power to contest his rule, but

Mr. Thurlow Weed, it is stated, begins the
work of constructing his autobiography by dis
entombing from their dusty cases about 1000
old letters These his daughter will arrange
for him. This reminds lis of the shrewd and
ancient saying "Never write letter, and
never burn one,' which, like all other shrewd
and ancient sayings, has been attributed to
Talleyrand. The most dreadful and damaging
collections of old letters ever found in this
country were those which made up the Butler.

We have reason to value the assurance just
written us that Gen. Placido Vega, whose
cause has enjoyed the fond encouragement of
the journal which most clamOrs for the protec-
ton and annexation of Mexico, has graduated
in robbery and murder, and is as pronounced
a villain as curses his country. lie is charged
with having abandoned his wife, with having
ruined lis State by forced contributions to pay
his debts and support his vices, and with hav-
ing managed the Custom House at Mazatlan
wholly in the interest Of foreign importers.
The old practice of committing the duties on
goods about to arrive there. at less than one
half the legitimate duties, by paying cash down
before the goods came to hand "a fayorite
plan with lawless governors and rebels, was
the constant rule under Gov. Vega. Lately no
has been charged with having engaged, for
what sum it is not stated,,to get up revolu-
ton for the Mazatlan Importers but, as he
has not come to terms, these worthless are dis
