President, for copy of catalogue OF this insti-

20, 1872. The University seems to be in II Hour
ishng condition, the attendance during the year
having numbered 22S students. A feature Of
the University to which we desire to call attcn-
lion is-that each county inthc State has right
90 send three students there free of tuition, and
that the railroad fire of such students, from
th,ir homes To the college. will he free These
students, we believe, are appointed by Repre-
scntatives to the Legislature. The Faculty is
composed of superior material. having at its
head a most worthy gentleman, of finished
scholarship and the highest order Of mental and
moral culture, and the University offers iincnd.

The Maryland Elector-some Facts About
h Him for. she GreeIeyites. :,
The letter of William N. Saunders, of Bal
timore, Maryland, who declined tho honor of
serving on the Grant electoral ticket of the
State, will undoubtedly be published through
out the country in all of the anti A dministra-
ton papers. If these papers will please
publish his record, which was furnished by
one who knows him well, the people can un-
derstand his motives better.
William n. Saunders was appointed quar-
termaster in the Ninth Colored United States
Infantry, and it has often been said In his
presence, and never denied by him, that he
was dishonorably discharged.
He went to Tallahassee and rendered him
self so obnoxious to Republicans there that
a delegation waited upon Postmaster General
Creswell to prevent his appointment as spe-
cial mail agent! The delegation were too
late, however, the appointment being made
before they saw Mr.. Creswell.
Some time since he organized q regiment
of colored men called the Lincoln Zouaves,
who gave picnic for the purpose Of raising
funds to buy uniforms for the Inen. This
was a. case Of Misrepresentation, and the
regiment never amounted TO anything after
wards. ..,.,,........ - .........4. MN.
About two years since a grand colored
celebration was given near Baltimore in honor
of the emancipation proclamation, at which
some $50 900 were raised. The celebration
was a success, but Saunders can tell what
became of the finances. -., '.-' ....
There are other acts in his life that will
not bear the closest scrutiny, whether politi-
cally or otherwise, and the wonder IS not
that he should get off the Republican cleo.
toral ticket, but that he should have been
placed on it.

Greeley's Rebmke Of Greeley.

When Horace Greeley was nominated for
the office OF comptroller in 1859, he addressed
a letter OF acceptance to Hon. Hamilton
Harris and associates, Republican State Com
mittee, /" from which we extract the follow
ing: JGa dg...5 ID. ,.l.t. 70. aaa.. f..-J.5,f
!. Y GU do not need to be told that l did not
want the nomination any more than / ex-
ipected it, and that i do not desire the Office
But i clearly comprehend that political life
has its responsibilities and its duties as well
as its opportunities and its honors, and ac-
cept without hesitation, thanking yon for the
faith you have evinced in my devotion to the
Republican cause, L trust that some friend
may be able to say with truth at my grave
that my political friends never were asked by
me for any favor, and never required of me
any honorable service that / did not cheer
fully render. This is the off-year in
politics. Men whose patriotism barely suf-
fees to take them to the polls when Presi-
dent, or when at least governor and men,
'bers of Congress are to be chosen, will not
come out this fall. The great army of office
seekers and selfish aspirants to- live on the
public will also contribute vastly to the
'legiOns of sulky stay-at-homes Gen. Grant,
lacking the miraculous power which fed null
titudes to repletion on few small loaves and
fishes, has offended these patriots beyond
the hope of present forgiveness. Let me,
therefore, entreat them to go to the polls,
and there work and vote simply for the con-
stitutional amendment securing impartial suf-
frage. They will thus proclaim that their
personal disappointments have not affected
their principles, and that their past profess
sions of Republicanism were not insincere.
They shall be most welcome to vote against
me, and still claim to be better Republicans
than am, if they will thus eyince undated
devotion to the cause. In the conii-
dent trust that the canvass on which we are
now entering will be signalized by determined
though quiet effort on the part of the friends
Of General Grants wise, prudent, and patr-
otto administration, and that its result will
shame the laggards and faint hearts who are
never ready to put forth efforts except when
they are not needed, ...-... 81. ..4....s

Flynn, Of an Indiana regiment, he had re-
solved upon his course. The officer In COM
mand, as soon as the drawing was completed,
ordered the two men to be taken out and
immediately executed. Capt. Sawyer, how
ever, demanded, as request that no civil
lied nation could refuse under such -circunI-
stances that he should have permission to
write to his wife, to inform her of the terrible
fate that awaited him, and to have her come
on'and bid hinr an eternal fareweh.1 Respite
tor day or two was thus obtained, and
Sawyer subsequently, obtained an interview
with the Secretary of War, and secured per
mission to write to his wife, which he did.
HIS object in writing to her was principally
Tor the Federal Government TO be made ac-
quainted with the predicament in which the.
officers were placed, and secure hostages
and threaten retaliation should the orders Of
the rebels be carried out. 1t turned out pre-.
cisely as Sawyer hoped and expected. Our
government was informed of the condition of
afairs, and promptly seized son of General
Lee, and one of some other prominent Cen
eral, and threatened to hang them it, the
Union officers were executed. By this means
the Ives OF the two men We're saved, as the
confederate Government did not dare to
carry ont their threats. After few months
more confinement, Capt. Sawyer was ex-
changed. Capt. Flynn, his companion in
misfortune, came out of the ordeal with his
hair as white as snow, turned gray bv the
mental suflerings he endured. Can't. SAWYER
