THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR.

1t will be seen by our dispatches of this
morning, shat Hon. Bainbridge Wadleigh
was elected to the United States Senate
yesterday, by the Legislature of New
Hampshire. to succeed Hon. James w.
Patterson, whose term expires next March.
The country will regret to lose the services
of one who has shown SO much honesty
and integrity as Mr.. Patterson. His SEN
atorial career has reflected great credit on
himself, his State and his country.
Wadleigh has the reputation of being
very fine lawyer. He has not been much
III politics, but has served with honor and
distinction for number of years in the
Lower House of the New Hampshire Leg
islature. He is an out-spoken Republican
and an original anti-slavery man of the
school of Garrison and Hale. He is said
to be ready effective debater, and judi
CiOus parliamentarian.

OUR UNIVERSITY.

We were pleased to see so large an at
tendance of citizens at the Commencement
Exercises yesterday and to note the inter-
est manifested in the welfare of the Uni
versity. We think we are justified in say
ing that the interest in the prosperity of
the institution is becoming more general
than ever before. Its friends are moro
Jealous and more earnest, while its enemies
are fewer and more cautious. Indeed we
might say, and we think truthfulIy, that
it has nc euemies in our midst now, or
none who would care to avUw themselves
as such. We cannot see how
any man could be SO, who cared
anything for the prosperity of
the city, or of the surround
ing country. And not only is
the city and its vicinity interested in
maintaining the credit and high standing
Of East Tennessee University, but the peo-
pie of the whole State are concerned. But
we would address ourselves in this brief
article, to the citizens of Knoxville and of
Knox county. Where have we in any one
particular enterprise, anything of so much
advantage to us, as the location of the Ag-
ricultural College in our midst? How
much has it cost us? Positively, almost
nothing. We are reaping rich harvest
that has cost us very little. We are draw
ing paying dividend from capital given
Us.
We are certainly the subjects of good
fortune. Are we approaching it as we
should? What are we doing to show our
appreciation of the high honor conferred
upon the community, by the location of
this institution here? Too little. We
should show our appreciation in more
material and substantial way, than mere
ly lending our smiles and bestowing
sympathy which all civilized communities
feel for the promotion of education. This

THE GERMANS AND GREELEY.

The Frankfort (German) Gazette of the
10Th ult., contains letter from its Amer
lean correspondent at Washington, in
which an account is given of the CORES
pondent's interview with Carl Schurz
concerning the Cincinnati Convention.
The German leader declares that he had
moderated the strength of the Republican
party and overrated the purity of the mo-
tive and aspirations Of the men by whom
he had been surrounded at Cincinnati.
< Charles Francis Adams would
probably have been elected. He would
certainly have received the bulk of the
German vote. Greeley would not and
could not get it. The Germans could not
be bought to support a man who had adj
VnfatoI many things 4l--t Vera at u-a.
rance with their convictions. <
The Blairs had been again on hand with
the usual result. The whole affair was
enough to disgust one with American pol
claim that Schurz is not unfriendly to Gree
leey has no foundation.
In connection with the Senator's feel
ings towards the Cincinnati ticket it is
worth while to notice that there is now
but few German papers friendly to Gree
ley. The Cincinnati Courier and Pitts
burg FOIkSbJatt, at first friendly to Greeley,
are now for Grant. The Louisville Anzeig-
CT and the IVeStbotS, of Columbus, Ohio,
Democratic papers, now declare that they
will not support Greeley even if nominat-
ed at Baltimore. These late changes are
significant and show how marked and
rapid Greeley's prospects are lessening.
Ex-Governor Koener, of Illinois, report
ed as finally reconciled to the Blair coali-
ton now writes letter declaring he will
have no hing to do with the Cincinnati
ticket. The Germans may be counted
nearly solid against the Tribune philoso-
pher and bOlter

all well, but it is not enough. With a
few thousand dollars invested in improv-
ing the college buildings, and building
new ones, purchasing apparatus, i'm
proving the grounds, purchasing
libraries, &C., &C., the facilities
for lmparting education would be in
creased in four-fold proportion, and the
number of students in attendance would
be increased accordingly. Even with our
present buildings, the number of students
has increased during the collegiate year
lust closed, and the prospects now are that
the next term will open with a larger num-
Der than at any time during the history of
the institution. If they should increase
to five hundred, it is our duty to provide
accommodations for them. Indeed, it
would be shame if that number should
apply for admission to the institution, and
any of them should be turned off for want
oil room to accommodate them.
Knox county ought to appropriate twen-
ty-five thousand dollars for the benefit Of
the University, and the city of Knoxville
be swelled by private donations, until the
means are placed in the hands of the
Trustees to make this the great school of
the South, equal in every respect to the
colleges and universities which are rem
dering the New England and other States
of the Union famous as educational GEN.

cational center of the South. Our health
full, salubriOus climate, our beautiful natu-
natural scenery, our varied miner
illogical deposits, &C., &C., conspire
to render us such. Ii our peo-
pie will it, it will be so. 1t is
for US to say. There is no better time to
begin than now. Who will render his
name immortal, by moving in this matter
and securing such substantial recogni-
ton of the great interests of this institu-
ton, as will enable those having it in
charge to place it at once on the highway
of fame and success.
