THE UNIVERSITY.

The Convention Of Baptists of Arkan'
sas, Mississippi, Alabama and Wesl
| Tennessee which sat in this city, TO the
sxtent of its authority in this behalf
pledged the districts of States represent
ID, to create a capital of two hundred
thousand dollars as q fund for thepartial
endowment Of an university near this
.ity. The transfer of the Baptist College,
At Greenville, South Carolina, to Mem
phis, is contemplated, this ancient insti-
tuition to constitute the nucleus
about which will cluster the afec-
ions of that powerful denomination.
Messrs. TichenOr and Landrum, elO-
quent and learned preachers and pas
tors of churches in this city, will at
tend the meeting of trustees of the
Greenville College, at Raleigh, North
Carolina, soon to occur, in order to pre-
sent to this body facts and considera-
tons calculated to cause the transfer of
the college TO Memphis. If this scheme
be effected, one thousand undergradu-
ates of an university may be added to.

room. When the boat is full or part-full
of water, the action of gravitation upon
this water inside the boat, OF, what is
the same thing, the counter Action of the
confined air in the air-chambers, opens
the valves, and the water flows out, or
the boat lifts itself away from it. When
the boat is clear, the little air-chamber
under each valve forces the valve back
into place, and, as said above, the men
are once more dry-shOd.
The superiority of this boat may be
partly inferred from the fact that, while
the regulation life-boats heretofore in
use are required to have a buoyancy of
eight hundred pounds, this boat has a
buoyancy of fOrty-iye hundred pounds.
1t is adapted for six oars, and will seat
twenty-four persons. 2 F~orty-eight per-
sons weight upon 1t is sufficient to fill
it with water, but, by the use Of life
lines, which are hung with cork buoys
along the outside of the boat, seventy
five persons may cling upon them and
be kept from sinking. If the boat were
filled with water, the valves being
fastened, her gunwale would still be five
inches above the water on the outside.
Aside from the ordinary service of
life-boats, il is obvious that q tender for
a yacht, constructed in this manner,
might prove invaluable in some emer-
gencies. There will be a public exhibi-
ton of this boat at South Boston in q
few weeks, when she will be put to va
rious tests in the water.

Governor Palmer, of Illinois, whose
detection from the Grant party has been
characterized by the utmost stretch OF
~self-deniaI, does not mean to stop at
a refusal to be a candidate before the
Republican Convention Of his State,
nor does he content himself with any
mere denunciation Of the friends Of
Grant, with whom he formerly cooper
ated. He keeps up the fire he opened
so briskly a few weeks since, and means
that between Trumbull, John A. Logan,
David Davisandhimself Illinois shall be-
come too hot for Grant, Orany Of his elan.
On Tuesday night, at Springfield, Hi
nois, he delivered a telling speecho on the
political situation, before an immense
audience, in the course of which he an
nounced himself as in favor Of civil SER
vice reforR not through a commission
er, but by giving more power to the
people, and permitting them to elect
postmasters and assessors. He de-
nounced the corruption which he
claimed existed in various departments.
The Governor criticised severely the
administration Of Grant, particularly
his alleged acts of military usurpatiOn,
referring particularly to his action at
the time of the Chicago fire. He claimed
that the old party lines of now oblitera-
ted patriotic men Of all shades and
opinions could and should unite on a
common platform of reform. He said
that there will be two National Conven-
at Philadelphia, which viii
be what is called a stocked convention,
the result of which is known before
hand; the other will be at Cincinnati,
and will be q convention Of the people.
He criticised General Grants political
record, and said that he was never a
Republican til1Ses.

THE BEAU sMAsHER.

The American historian and Minister,
Bancroft, has a proclivity for fast horses,
and INDUCES a taste for the society of
the girls of the period. He also objects
most strenously to any allusiOn to his
antiquity, and actually fancies himself
a graceful, winning Juvenile. He has,
we are told by the Republican, ia pen
chant for Irritation, and this sprightly
youth of seVenty-two really thinks no
damsel can resist his destinations. He
was promenading one evening on the
verandah of the Ocean house at New
port with a gay New York belle, not out
of her teens. In course of conversation
she addressed her companion as Mr..
Bancroft Now really, my dear Miss.
c. said the ancient beau, you
must not call me th8t-cdU me George!
A few moments afterward they re-
turned to the drawingroOm and mingled
with the throng, when, to the amaze
ment and hOrrer of our Ambassador,
the m~ischievOus girl exclaimed George,
I have dropped my glove-please go
and look foritP Bancroft went, but did
not return.u

The difficulty rec~Ognizedin gerryman-
dering Tennessee consisted in the pecu-
liar geographical shape Of the State. II
is very Hk a "scantIing," or a fat rail-
road bar-single track-eonnecting the
Aleghanies with the Mississippi, and
spanning the Cumberland mountain
range. When a committee of our Leg
~islature undertook the task of gerry
Wandering Tennessee, there wasn't
space enough in breadth TO enable them
10 do the square thing" and in I" boss
ing the job, - there was great danger that
an unskillful mechanic, like some Of
those who took the contract, would fall
ofand break his political neck. Nothing
saved the carpenters in Tennessee but
the conduct Of the brave fellows down
in Mississippi who would have howled
fearfully at curious 'joiner's work"
done in Tennessee IL that submitted to
the moral e Of mankind in Missis-
sippi had not been so unseemly. Then,
TOO, Maynard's friends I'm Michigan had
dealt As foully with Democrats as was
done ia Mississippi, and thus It hap
pens while the moral sense of mankind
may be shocked by the practical dis
frsnchisement Of large bodies of ejtj-l
zens in different States, that the wrong
done in the n case is atoned for by the
deprivation of right to whichth wrong
dOer is subjected in another. There has
been quite enough discussion Of a matter
in which, If there be crime committed
the prosecutor may always be ~silenced
by referehce TO the utterance Of our Sa-
viour when he suggested the casting of
the first stone by the guiltess. 1t is
threatened, so gross is the outrage done
Maynard thus gerrymandered out Of
seat in Congress to which he held a pre-
scriptive right, that Grant viii cause

ACCORDING to the information re-
ceived in Washington by the active
friends Of the Cincinnati Convention,
there viii be delegates from every State
in the Union, excepting Oregon, Neva-
da, Florida and South Carolina. The
California delegation will probably in
clude among its members representa-
tives Of the Liberal Republicans of Ne
vada and Oregon. Either ex-senator
Foster of Connecticut, or Governor
Brown of Missouri, or Governor Palmer
Of Illinois, or Colonel Mcclure of Penn
sylvRnia, are mentioned as candidates
for the Presidency Of the convention.
There viii be a v~ice-president and a
secretary from every State and some of
the Territories, including the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The various delega-
tons, in order TO secure proper State
representation prior to the ballOting for
President, will hold meetings and elect
members from each Congressional Dis
trict, and thus change the convention
from a national mass convention
into a national Liberal Republican
nomination. In that way only, it is
can 1t be ascertained who Is the
choice for a Presidential nomination.

THE NEw York BoeniHg Post Of the
twenty-hfst says: 'There are two sturdy
Republican Reformers worthy of the
highest offices of the country, and that
Charles Francis Adams should be NOM
mated at Cincinnati for the Presidency
and Lyman Trumbull for the Vice
Presidency" It is well enough, it Oe-
ours to US, to belong to the Postum

THE opinion obtains in Washington
that Grant can only be elected by the
assistance Of Democrats, and this as
sistance, it is thought, viii be paid for.
The agents purchased or employed win
be the same who interposed in 1888, and

One of the besettipI sins Of our time
is an aching FOR notoriety among the
educated classes. Sometimes this no.
toriety is sought as u means to crafty
greed. All kinds of bright people are
infected with IL, even the clerical kind
We have sometime thought that, to a
few clergymen the desire 10 get into the
newspapers during life, was almost as
strong as the desire to get into heaven
after death. The popular minister is
subjected 10 peculiar temptations, which
require all the divine grace there is in
him to resist He is tempted to exag-
gerate, 10 overstate 10 screech, to
scream, TO play the part OF the dema-
gogue, to play the part of the buffoon,
in short, TO do anything and everything
which will conduce to popularity.
We have occasionally visited meeting
houses, which seemed to be conducted
on the principle Of combining the at
fractions of the lyceum, the theater and
the circus in u church. The farce was
we'll performed, and the tragedy was
well performed, in the sermon of the
minister; but the farce included certain
gross elements of humor, which such a
comedian as Warren would instinct
lively reject as vulgar, and certain tragic
elements which such 81 tragedian as

does not hit their souls. He may not

The caucus and the circus are something

These thoughts have been. suggested
by DR.. Morisons essay on Ministerial

Magazine. We heartily agree with him
in believing that ministerial success is
not 10 DO measured by the success of
any minister in winning the ear of the
great public. 1t is almost impious to
declare that q clergyman has failed,
because his name does not happen to be

they do their spiritual work in their linn

is undoubtedly the greatest preacher in
the United States; excellent in himself,
he is bad as a model; and only those
who share his qualities can safely take
him for an example.
