Dear Journal Alter few hours Of
pleasant travel from Fayetteville, | find
myself again at this Institution partaking
of the literary dish prepared by Messrs
Whately, Blackstone, and others. L am in
no wise anxious to be d participant, mas
much as that prepared by these great
authors is neither pleasant nor easy to take
as a stimulant this cool weather.
Quite a spirit of improvement has been
manifested since last session. The College
and grounds have been greatly improved at
an immense outlay, and it appears us if
the Faculty are determined to have the
most beautiful and best furnished College
i'll the South. Exercises began Oh the 18th
under auspices truly favorable to the sue
cess of the Institution, as the increase Of
students is twenty-five per cent. over last
session. The students, as a whole, are
very gentlemanly and kind each one ap-
pears to know his duty and nobly performs
it.

Students from all parts of the State
speak favOrably of the Liberal movement.
In most every township Greeley and Brown
Clubs are forming, and there is a genera
stampede from the Grant camp. One s'sji-
dent says that in his township, out Of
eighty-six registered negro voters, SIXTY

Club. This speaks well for the REFORM

In order TO let the public know just ex-
actly my position i'll regard to the present
political crisis, beg to state that l am a
"Greeley man." in the strongest sense of
the word. 1t would be vain for any man,
therefore, to fatter himself with the hope
Of seeing me desert the party whose prin-

senseless ceilings of any party to deter me
from exercising the right which appertains
to my position as a citizen of the United

Masonry, both in its essences and IT'S
principles, is everywhere one, although !,
has neither a common centre nor general

phenomena, that while it presents amy

the whole earth, neither their views nor

from one board of directors.

Our GERMAN FeIIOv.Citizens.

The accession of Mr.. Frederick Has
saurek, editor Of the Cincinnati J'Olksbtdh,
to the Greeley allies, seems to forebode
danger to the friends of military rule and
arbitrary government. Mr.. Hassaurek, 1t
is acknowledged, wields perhaps more IN"
fuence with the German voters liz Ohio
than any other man in that State. Until
last week he has withheld any expression
of opinion. The long silence has at last
been broken, aud with words OF such pow
er and eloquence as to reacd and cohToi
every honest heart within hearing, no
matter whether German or Am erican, Ia
tive or foreign born.
The words of Mr.. Hassaurek have done
mure than this, they have reached the
heads and controlled the acts Of the Grant
people, though in a different way. MIR.
Nast's insulting caricatures of German cltl-
zens are no longer brought to the front as
campainn documents. They have now
nothing but the softest, sweetest cooings
for "Our German FelloW-citizens." A
few weeks ago our German friends were
his heels" Now the New York Times,
the leading Grant paper in New DIX, II
not in the country, is humble enough to
saw that sit is easier now than ever before
to discover the truth, and no portion OF the
people desire it more frankly or are more
capable of understanding it shan our Ger
| man citizensn'
So the Radicals have at last learned that
! the :. German Americans have heads as
we'll as heels! But for all practical Radical
purposes it is now too late. The Germans
have given unmistakable evidence Of thelI
purpose to support Greeley and Brown
There are 5000 German voters in OHIO
who will vote solid against the corruption
and tyranny that has brought the country
so near to ruin and bankruptcy.
The Times admits it to be "truo that
the Germans i'll the country are devoted
adherents to the supremacy of the CIV
over the military authorities, aud the reg1r
lation Of governmental action ly strict
construction of the laws" but does not
think they < will take the word Of Messrs
SchurZ and Hassallrek that the Admins
tration has been unfaitLful to these IDEAS.
! If the 'word Of Messrs. Schurz art
! Hassaurek" was unsupported By proof, We
would concur with the Times III thinking
! the Germans would not take it. Indeed
| it is quite well-known characteristic o
that people not to rely upon mems words
| but rather to consult the facts and deter
mine foT themselves.
| We rather think, however, when it is
within the knowledge of every man, thai
! the word of Messrs. Schurz and Nassau
rex is based upon indisputable facts, tha
hesitation in taking it.

THE piOus, truth-lOving Wilson writes
to the Troy Times, saying he does mot
wish to write any more letters, and does
not intend to do So" We doubt not that
if the truth was known, the sanctimonious
old hypOcrite wishes he had come to this
determination long ago, and had stuck to
it. lie would then not have gotten into
the scrape about General Grants habits,
and he would not have been under the
necessity of explaining that the letter he
wrote denying his knOw-Nothing senti-
ments did not refer to Known Othiug
speeches. And he would also have been
spared the necessity Of explaining that the
letter he asked his German friend to write
to the Brooklyn gentlemen denying that
he was ever Known Othing, was written
without his knowledge or assent.
In view Of these troublesome consequent
ces of letter-writing, we think it time for
him to stop.

Best and Worst Climates for Consume.
1iHox.

Professor Andrews, Of the Chicago
Medical College, has been classifying the
medical facts contained in the census re-
ports of 1850 and 1870, and from these
he finds that consumption and cancers axe
two diseases which are similarly affected
by and prevail III the same regions, and
tina: the two laws governing their prcya-
lence are as follows : First, these two
diseases are abundant near the sea, and
diminish as you recede from it; and
sec md, at equal distances from the sea
they prevail most at the North, and III
mifish as you 90 South. From this it
follows that the best resort for Il cOusun-
tive o. cancer patient is some point which
is At the same time as far South and as
tai from the sea as possible. Such
place is New Mexico, where the deaths
from consumption are only three per cent,
OF Arkansas, where they are FIVE percent.'
while in New England, which is colder
and sea-girt, they are twenty-five per cent
Entirely III accordance with this rule, but
contrary to the popular opinion, Mnneso-
ia IS a worse place than amy other State,
having fourteen per cent. of deaths from
consumption, though this may be because
cOIiSumptives are sent there 10 seek health.
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida have
each six per cent; Georgia and South
Cdl DINA have five per cent.

How to Quit Tobacco.

The best thing to hold in the mouth IS Il

for tobacco quicker than anything else, ana

slavery. l don't care what bitterness he
may have exhibited, in act or speech, du-

score, if our words were as fully recorded
as his, we should appear " even" with him.
And when the cool, unimpassiOned judg-
ment OF after ages passes in review the his
tory Of American slavery, we dare not as
sert that Mr.. Greeley's side of the question
will be condemned and ours APPROVED
Already mighty changes in our opinions on
this subject are manifest all over the South.
Then what matters it to us what were his
opinions Of slavery, or of us as slavehold-
ers T.? The goodness Of his heart made him
the enemy CT African slavery, and the
same sympathy foI the oppressed makes
him to-day the friend of the doWn-trodden

illustrating alike his wisdom and his good

experience so infinitely superior to the pres

CONFIDENTIAL Communication of the Pres
ident TO the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The President to-day
between the United States and Great Britain
relative to the Treaty of Washington, accom-
panied with q brief message. The envelope
bore the word Confidential" A short time af-
ter the reception of the document the Senate
went into executive session. when they were
read 1t appears the design of the President
was to ascertain the views of the Senate as to
new article to the treaty, withdrawing the claims
for consequential damages from the American
statement of the case, with the provision, which
is in substance that whenever England or the
United States shall be at war and the other a
neutral, the belligerent will make no com
plants for any indirect, remote or consequent
tial injuries or losses resulting from failure to
observe neutral duties. AS it is known that
Great Britain will agree to the proposed new
article, and that both governments are anxious
to save the treaty by this means, it was thought
proper to place the Senate in possession of all
facts in order that the Executive, acting on
their advice, might pursue the negotiation so
as to secure the contamination of the treaty in
manner satisfactory to the two governments.
There was brief debate after the reading of
the documents involving the merits of the case
A motion was made to remove the injunction
of secrecy, but this failed, and the message and
documents were then ordered printed in conf
dence and referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations.
There is question that the Senate will adj
wise the acceptance of the additional article to
the treaty. s MH
