reasons why the college which he repre-

Richmond College has these already, ana is
ready to start ut once schools for instruction
in agriculture and mechanic arts. 1t costs
less to educate man there than anywhere
lin the southern States. By the system Of
messing in vogue, man can 90 through q
year comfortably for $3.50 or $500, though
be can spend as much moro as he may
wish. ....
This college is also denominational, but
not sectarlan. It was organized by Bap-
fists. and he would not apologize for
that in Virginia, for he must be
stupidIy ignorant of the history of Nir-
pinta who does not know how much
fhe old Dominion is indebted to the Bap-
lists for civil and religious liberty. The ia
Guilty and board of trustees were made up
of different denominations, and there was
no, attempt to give sectarian bias to the
instruction. He had nothing to say against
administrations. He thanked God there
were so many, and that there was noble,
generous, honest rivalry between alto edu-
cate the people and establish a standard of
education in Virginia to be held up to the
admiration not; only of the South and OF the
United States, but of the world.
Referring to the act Of Congress by which
this appropriation was made, Dr. Curry
said. notwithstanding the talk about what
had been done in other countries for the
cause OF education, the United States bad
far excelled any and all. This nation mas
made education a speciality. This Is tne
first Government that ever made large dona-
stions OF land to educate the people, and the
Limited States has appropriated more area
Of territory for educational purposes than
is comprised within the whole territory OF
Great Britain and ireland. But Virginia
has received mo more than her share, for

A South Corolina letter says it is difficult
for the people of the North to understand
the actual state of affairs, or to comprehend
how this system Of barbaFity can exist or
be carried on so long before it is found out
by the authorities. Unjust be remembered,
however, that the railroad system OF the
State is quite limited, sud the telegraph is
known only in certain quarters. But one
train day passes over any of these 70 ads

system Of outrages could be perpetrated for
weeks within ten miles Of the county seat
of many of the upper counties, aud no one
outside of the immediate vicinity know
anything about it.

A Correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican in the Yellowstone Valley, on the
slopes ofthe Rocky Mountains, speaks of the
wonders of nature in that region, confirming
the opinion of tourists that cur midland
country will vie with Europe or South
America in the grandeur and pictresqueness
of its scenery. The writer says: Here,
within radius OF two miles, | saw hot
springs by the thousands and the geysers
that surpass the great geyser of Iceland. L

While Northern Democracy crows jubi-
lantly over the late elections, their Southern
brethren see plainly that there is no cause
of rejoicing. A barren victory. that avails
nothing, after all the promises the Northern
Democracy made. has aroused the anger Of
the Richmond Dipatch, and it strikes back
as follows:
The truth is, the Northern Democrats
have not the tact, or good sense, or wisdom,
or what you will, to make up good issues.
The Southern Democrats formerly made
these up for them, aHd then they were al
ways successful.
Ihis Is hardly kind to the Northern Demo
Gratis, when they have been asserting so
joyously for weeks that they have had a
Democratic triumph. But the sting of the
rebuke rests in the fact, that of old. South
ern Democrats, having all the wisdom, made
up the issues for the Northern Democrats,
who had no good sense, and then Democracy
was always successful.

Ex-senator Buckaew is strongly opposed
to the Crawford county system of making
nominations. His opinion, coming from a
man who has given much attention ard thou
ght to minority representation, and whose
motives cannot be otherwise than uuques-
toned. ought to possess double weight.
He thinks it plan Of plurality representa-
ton, whereby the minority are every COM
monty oyerruled, or rather coerced into sup
port of candidate TO whom they are oppos
ed. 1t also tends strongly, in his opinion,
to produce fraud and increase the expense

Political Items.

The average Republican majority IN Ohio
is 1868.
The Democratic township of East Fin-
cent, Chester county, elected William John
son. coloreI man, constable at the late
election.
The Indiana Legislature stFnds: Senate
Republicans, 26; Democrats, %; Peo-

Democrats, 52 doubtful, /.
Two townships IN Tama county, Iowa
Geneseo and Clark-did not poll a single

the the same State, polled 242 Republican
votes. and just Democratic.

The Republican majority on the aggre-
gate Congressional vote, at the last election
in Pennsylvania is about 2,547. So the
Democratic roosters crowed prematurcly
over claimed Democratic majority of s ,000
on the same vote.
The Republican majority of Iowa in 1860
was 10, 4S7, and in 1870, Al, 900. There are
only four Democratic counties in the State,
and there are three counties that do not
poll single Democratic vote The Repub-
IL :.
from Iowa.
The official result Of the election held in
Ohio on October IL, is announced Us fol
lows Sherwood, the Republican candidate
for Secretary of State, has 22I, ,7O9, votes
against 2O4, 979 for Heisley, the Democrat.
The Republican majority is, therefore,
I6, 100, coupled with total falling off in
the vote of the whole State of 35, 7G0 since
the election of 1869, when the Republican
majority was 7,50l.
The States Of South Carolina and West
Virginia, in which elections have just been
held, have balanced each other, in that the
former went soliIly Republican and the lat
ter is reported to have gone Democratic.
The only matter for surprise is the result in
South Carolina OF course the presence of
the colore1 vote explains the result. L
seems very like case of poetic justice.
The head and front of the rebeliOn-th
State which did more than any other to
bring on the rebellion is the one which, by
that rebellion, has been so affected as that
popular sentiment is entirely changed, and
in place Of the Democracy ruling, Repub-
lcanism is rampant everywhere. This must
be consoling to the old sIavcholding De
mocracy in that State.

Professor Olmstead fucni shed the follow
ing solution of the auroral lights: He
considers the aurora to be due to nebulous
matter, like that which furnishes material
for meteoric showers, or the zodiacal light.
The light, he thinks, is caused by the fric-
ton of the earth in plunging with its at
mosphere through this matter, which, being
partly metallic, thus gives rise to the con-
current magnetic phenomena.

The World think. the election law of
Congress ought to be called "a law for di-
minishing Democratic majorities. The
World has hit the nail right on the head in
this instance, and certainly realizes the full
effect of the election law. 1t will materially
reduce Democratic majorities by preventing
fraudulent registering and voting.
