As We Expected.

1t was currently reported for several
weeks before the 4th Of March that Hon.
James F. Wilson, of Iowa, would have po-
sition In President Grant's Cabinet. This
came to be generally accepted as a foregone
conclusion. The nominations, therefore,
were received with some disappointment, us
the public mind had settled down upon the
suppositlon that Mr.. Wilson was sure to 60
In. We are authorized to state, on the best
authority, that Mr.. Wilson was offered any
one Of three positions in the Cabinet by Pres
Ident Grant. Public expectation, therefore,
was not without foundation. 1t Is now
known that Mr.. W. declined TO accept either
Of the offered places.

SUICIDE.

Mr.. Henderson Coe, of Loudoun county, Va,
an insane man, brought to this place by his
brother, (Aurelius Coe,) and Mr.. JOS Cockrill,
for the purpose of gaining admission into the
Western Lunatic Asylum, committed suicide,
on last Thursday morning week, Dec. Oath, by
walking over the ewes of the porch of the Amer
lean Hotel. They all three retired on Wednes-
day night to a room in the fourth story of the
hotel-the window of which looks out upon the
roof of the porch in rear of the building. About
5 O'Clock in the morning Mr.. A. Coe and Mr.
Cockrill were aroused by hearing the window
fall down from being hoisted, whereupon they
Immediately rang the bell and aroused Mr.
Wilson, who was staying in the Office at the
time, informing him that the insane man had
gotten out of the room through the window, and
on going to the back yard Of the hotel his lfeess
remains were found lying there in nude state.
He had stripped himself perfectly naked, passed
out of the window, letting the window fall be-
hind him, and walked off the roof falling dis
lance of about forty feet. On examination by
DR.. VIM. S. McChesney, not broken bone,
brulse or scratch could be found upon

The following paragraph is cut from the
Springfield Mass. Republican, paper with
wide circulation in the New England States,
and claims to be the exponent of the Republi
can party in that section.
GEN. LEES CoLLEGE.-A correspondent Of
a Boston paper gives this very unpleasant pic
ture of affairs ct Washington College, at Lexing
ton Va, Of which Gen. Robert E. Lee is Prcsi
dent If true, the institution sadly needs re-
construction Washington College contains
and all of rebel proclivites Squads of them
patrol the streets nightly, firing pistols and
doing just as they please No colored woman
dares to go out after dark and several cases
have occurred In which freedwomen have been
chased and their clothing torn off and other
violence shown them. These students have, at
different times, gone through the town in the
night, cursing the United States and its Off
cials. A mob one night aimed pistols at the
military commissioner, In his room at the hotel,
and threatened to shoot him if he did not take
in his head. Another party of six assaulted
the bureau agent at IL O'Clock p. M, and
threatened to beat him; but brace of Smith
& Wesson pistols soon dispersed the towards.
Eight negroes have been severely wounded or
killed In the streets of Lexington during the
last year by white men, and no one has yet
been brought to trial. For the last nine months
no night has passed without pistol firing in the
streets at night. 1t will not do to let the peo~
pie know how badly these students behave
how much they hate the United States governs
ment; how little they are taught Of loyalty;
how their prejudioes are increased by the teach~
ings Of the preceptors, drawn mostly from the
rebel army; how they are being educated, not
to be good and loyal citizens, but to be ready
tIrup tr tuIrr eff no
college CT military institute, no patriotism is
taught OF displayed bpt the arch traitor, Lee,
is placed over them to instruct them in more
treason, he being himself SO great MASTER
This Washington college is gathering together
of young men of the South, to be educated by
persons antagonistic to the general government,
and with their most prominent traitor at the
head, and no good will ever come of it.

NEW CHAPEL.

A very Interesting service was held at the Mt.
Vernon Iron Works, near Wyer's cave, on Sun
day, Dec. 20th-the occasion being that of the
opening to the public of the Hall, over the store
recently erected at that place. The Rev. II. FL.
Halves, of Mt. Horeb Presbyterian church,
preached a sermon to large and attentive au-
dience. The singing was led by fine Cabinet
organ, which, with large supply of books for
Sunday school purposes, has been presented by
Alexander Erwin, Esq, Of Baltimore city. The
Hall is capable of seating about 200 persons, is
well lighted and ventilated and furnished with
comfortable settees of the latest design, and
not but prove great advantage to the neighbor-
hood Lectures and meetings will take place at
this point during the winter.

nStructiOn.

The condition Of the unreconstructed States
was brought up in the House by the reporting
of bill providing for the election on January
Goth. The matter was discussed by extreme
Radicals, who differed about the propriety of
the time proposed. All showed equal determine
ton to put the constitution on the State, and
the only ground Of difference, was the probabil-
ity Of success, then orat a later day. 1t was
finally agreed to accept Washburnes amend
ment, fixing the fourth Thursday Ia May as
the day for the election. Butler urged this, as
he thought the negro votes would be less de-
pendent on the whites then than in cold wealth
er.
They evidently expect continued opposition
from the whites and fear it. They know that
the constitution is an outrage, and feel that the
degradation will not be willingly consented to.
All men in the State are interested in It's defeat
white no more than black-and the long time
