enough to break the neck Of any institu-
ton in the land. And, as to the Trustees,
when the present Board was substituted
for that glorious body of the truest and
best men Of the State who were kicked out
in order to make room for them, the doom
of the University was sealed. It was be-
cause the University was degraded in
every way that the people would not sup
port it, and for no other reason and just
so long as it continues TO be SO, they will
continue to send their sons elsewhere to
be educated. Indeed, with the exception
of McIver, the late corps OF professors"
could not educate anybody. That thing
was out of the question, and, if it had not
been so melancholy subject the status of
the University would have bean very ridi-
culous. Gov. Caldwell ought to be
ashamed to try to shift the responsibility
for this disgrace from the shoulders of his
friends, who are the real criminals, to the
backs of the true people of the State. 1t
is gross injustice. Moro than this it is
rank insolence to call The people to task
for not patronizing an institution for
which, so long as it remains in its
present hands, they have sovereign con-
tempt.
The Governor does make enc recon-
mendation, however, which We heartily
endorse, viz: that the University shall be
closed until moro prosperous times. Yes,
let the worn steps, the wide corridors and
the stained walls reverberate no more with
the jocund sounds that were heard there
for three-quarters of q century, but let
silence wrap her mantle around them until
"more prosperous days" and may God
send that season soon.

THE TENNESSEE SAFE.

New York, Feb. 20-The follow
ing is letter from correspondent
with the San Domingo Commissioners,
brought BY the steamer North America:
SAN DOMINGO City, Feb. 3.-The
Comm ission arrived from SANTANA Bay
yesterday. Every enc connected with
the party is in excellent health. The
want Of coaling facilities detained the
ship six days at SANTANA The Com
mission found the Inhabitants of the
Peninsula very generally in favor Of
annexation. A full investigation was
made into the ownership of the land
around the harbor, and showed that no
United States official is involved in any
private transaction there whateyer.
Fabens and his associates and O'Sulli
van have a perpetual lease, at nomi-
nal price, of nearly all Of the available
water front for large vessels around
the harbor Of SANTANA. There is no
valuable mineral in that section
The Commission landed here this
morning, and was formally received by
President Baez Mr.. Wade explained
the character and objects of the Com
mission. Baez and Cabinet gave them
cordial welcome President Baez
said that peace and stable govern
ment would follow a union with the
United States. The people were all
anxious for the union. Cabral had no
Dominicans with him. The comman
ders of the force, he was supposed to
command were HaytiaDs, and Hayti
was the real mover in the whole mat
ter. They had Information that an in
cursion was to be made while the Com
mission was here, to influence them,
| and from his agents the character Of
the whole movement was learned Baez
expressed the hope that the Commits
sioners would examine all the claims,
and promised to extend every facility.
Five of the party came across the coun
try from SANTANA to this place.
The Commission find thus far no APP
pearance Of public disturbances or dis
( sensions. The season is very healthy
The officers aud crews of the Uuted
States steamers Tennessee, Nantasket
and Yantic, now in this halbor, are all
well.
The Commission will be here week
longer, and will probably visit Asqua
next. The stories of trouble there are
untrue.
The Commission intend to start for
home in about four weeks.
To night Bacz has agreed to give
safe conduct to Cabral or any of his
officers, to come here and meet the
Commission, and messengers will be
dispatched to him at once.

The National Life Insurance Com
pany Of Jay Cooke & Co., Phila-
delphia Of Justice Paine.

We have too frequently, of late
had occasion to call the attention of
the public TO the now almost universally
acknowledged benefits OF life insur-
ance. Illustrations of the advanta
geous working and great practical good
of this most benevolent scheme for
providing for those who would other
wise be dependent and helpless. are
multiplying year by year, and almost
month by month, in our community.
1t has too often, Of late, been both our
pain and our pleasure to record in
stances Of the kind in connection with
the death Of some of our best citiz ems
and more than once, We believe, in con-
nection with the deoease of those who
were insured in the above named Com
pany. And now again, with more sor-
row and al the same time with in
erea sed satisfaction, respecting the sub
ject under consideration, we speak of
1t in conn ectlon with the untimelv
death of ona of our most distinguished
and gifted fellow citizens-the late
Justice Paine, Of our Supreme Court.
The transactions of the above company
on this occasion-the prompt payment
OF the sum insured aud the refunding
Of premium paid upon the policy, are
particularly worthy Of notice and
commentator. Insurance in any re-
sponsible company which stands upon
its strictest legal rights and contests
for the advantage, even upon grounds
Of mere technicality, is no doubt in
most cases beneficial, but insurance in
a company which does not do this. but
whose affairs are conducted upon broad
er and more equitable principles and
which seeks to turn teclnicality rather
for the benefit Of the insured than for
any profit Of It's oTD mast be ack nowl-
edged as still more beneficial. Conf
dence in wise, liberal policy on the
part Of the company. il the adjust
ment Of losses. and in its dealings with
the insured, is, as opposedto doubt and
technlcality, verg great consideration
The circumstances Of the present case~I
were peculiar, and fully demonstrate
the just and liberal course Of tie com
pany n such matters The policy was
issued and delivered on the 18th day |
of January, 1869, for ar annual pre-,
niom Of $l87, paid on that day The
for the payment of the fu- |
.ure premiums was, that they should
De paid ION or before the 18th day of
January on each year The third
annual premium was paid to the agent
n this city, on the 10Th Of January
asst. Judge Paine expired on the next
lay, the 18th, at 20 minutes past 9
o'clock in the evening. The question
presented to the company was wheth e.
his premium should be refunded I'll
will be seen at once that it was new
nd entirely unsettled quest on n the
aw Of insurance and one Of consider
bic nicely and doubt concerning
which a difference of opinion might
easonably have been entertained.
'ayme"ts Of this kind are generally, if
ot universally, made during the ordi-
airy hours Of business, and it might,
ot without some reason, be supposed

on was whether such was the legal

THEFUTURE OF WHEAT.

During the last f:w weeks the con-
test between the Bulls aud the Bears Of |
the wheat market, has been exceeding
ly hot, aud attended with varying re-
suits.
Before the fall Of Paris, wheat con
tinued steadily to advance till it
reached S132 per bushel for No. 2. and
tnen it fell off to 81 20, and has since
risen few cents. Now it is a ques-
ton Of nc little Importance to the
Northwest Shether this, our staple com.
modify. will rise or fall.
The Bulls argue that wheat must go
up. The Agricultural operations Of
Prussia and France, say they have been
well nigh suspended, while the actual
waste and destruction have been i'm
mense. They point to the fact that
the visible supply of wheat in princi
pal markets of the United States and
Great Britain on the 1st of February,
was about twenty millions Of bushels,
against twenty millions year ago.
HC DCdlS Ol tIlG USLCI NdHt.
tan that wheat must go down; that
the supposed wants of the Continent
have been exaggerated; that the period
following war is one of depression, and
that the demands from France must be
small; that the people being poor will
be content to use coarser and far
cheaper grains than wheat. They fur
Their assert that the supply which has
been locked up in German ports, is
ample to make good the French defci-
ency. They represent that there are
16O more cargoes Of grain afoat for
Great Britain than at this time last
year, and that before many months we
will begin to talk about new crop.
Our readers can probably think OF
more arguments than we have presen
ted. The Bulls, we doubt not, car
furnish other strong proofs that the
golden commodity must go up; i
Bears, they will think you blind if yor
do not see that it must go down.
The question, however, is one o
great Importance to the pockets of on,
| farmers, and we hope the price o.
wheat may now keep up, for ce rtaiul,
it has been low enough during the past
year or two.
The farmer pays high for all he buys
and we think it time that he got a goot
price for what he sells N5llcaUhe,
Neacs.
