AMHERST, Mass, July 10, 1877.
Thursday being commencement day Is generally
the important day Of commencement week; but this
year, might have been supposed, the exercises on
wednesday entirely eclipsed all others, and by the
alumni VIII lie considered one OF the precious
days to be held In remembrance.
The extreme length OF the exercises are COM
mented upon every year, but without avail. From
half-past nine until halt-past one the weary assem-.
bly, sit under varied strains OF eoquence. This fea-
ture Is not without Its advantages, and WILL proba-

statements which are incorrect. After the admira-
BILE erpost already published in the HERALD by your
special correspondent 1t Is not necessary to enter
into any details the influence directing the tone
OF those dispatches is obvi3us to every Intelligent
reader. As 10 the large gathering OF the opponents

say thai was there. and was Ia the immediate
Vicinity Of the church, and saw nothing OF 1t

Rev. Bishop on sunday would no doubt nave served
their purpose IN t.iis respect; failing in this they
have resoctcd to the press to crate their special
hobby. As to the mass ut the pastors residence

PRESIDENTIAL PREDICTIONS.

The Sacramento Union takes the
New York Herald to task for its fig
ures predicting the result of the next
Presidential election. The Herald
estimates 1853 electoral votes sure
for the Democratic candidate, 80
sure for the Republican, and 69
doubtful. These figures the Union
styles wild" and then proceeds to
furnish q table of its own, which II
the Herald'sS-" wild" may be styled
the widest that any sane politician
could dream of in his craziest mo-
ments. According to the Union the
Republicans are to carry New York
State next year by twenty to thirty
thousand majority-a probability as
justitiable as a prediction that Yer
mont will furnish that majority for
the Democratic candidate. The
Union claims all the Pacific States.
including Nevada by 1880 majority.
We wonder that the editor of that
paper did not say $4,000 while he
was writing out his figures. The
fact is that Gen. Grant is not likely
TO receive an electoral vote this side
OF the Rocky Mountains. The bal,
ance of the Unions table is elled
with similar instances ola lack OF
even ordinary sagacity, falling clear
" within It's definition of The Her
AIDS figures as mere random snots

WHAT WILL BE THE MAJORITY

from the Oakland Transcript
Weare frequently asked to express
a candid opinion of the probable Dem

This We have not done because we
perceive no beneficial results to fol-

where estimates are carefully ana IN

liable data. Yet. without desiring 10

confidence. we have no hesitation III
EXPRESSING the opinion, from all the
lights before Us, thai the average DEM
ocratic majority on Wednesday next
will not be less than 1000, while the
chances are ten times greater for II 10
exceed 10000 than to fall below I,OUJ.
The duty of our position compels Us IL"
weigh and analyze with much care
all the conditions and all the lnnu-
ences bearing upon the election
as we'll as those reasonably likely a.
those certain to affect the result. ms
we have Home diopasSlonate!y Win

the acces>ionS from ali sources that
can be nationally claimed Cor the op-
posing party. and placing the known
and probable accessiofs to the Demo
cratic party at the lowest reasonable
figure, we do not see how the Demo

shall prove to be equal in this State tc
what we know it has been for "A given
