The Wash. Chronicle states that the Postmas

political subscription papers among the subordi-
mates in his Department.; he only directed that
no official in his Department circulate such sub

pcarance Of an assessment With voluntary
subscriptions to political associations he has
nothing to do. Of course, as much of that, as

The manufacturing Industry of England is
just now IN excitement, owing to the rise IN the
price of coal. All through the present year coal
has been rising rapidly in price, in England,
until it is now between GO and 100 per ct. dearer
than it was twelvemonth ago, and is constan-
tly on the rise. We hope that this will not be
given as reason for raising the price of
coal in this country

The Baltimore Sun says that the new French
loan, will cause considerable shifting fspecle
and bullion in Europe from one financial centre
to another, the effect Of which is likely to be
felt on this side of the Atlantic. Advices
from Germany state that at the last semi-mon-
thly settlement on the Berlin Bourse, money
was worth 7 to per cent, on stocks, and that
bullion was flowing from Berlin, In all parts
of Germany manufacturing is very active, ex-
cept in the iron districts aud orders from the
United States are reported to be quite large.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY. The
position of this institution in the front rank of
the great schools Of learning Of this country is
settled beyond doubt. Any fears at one time
entertained by its friends, of the depressing in
fueuce which might result from the death of
its great President, Gen. r. Z. Lee, have been
entirely dissipated by the remarkably success
full administration Of his SOP, Gen. Gusts Lee.
who has proved himself every way worthy of
the great trust committed to his hands. Trus-
tees Faculty and Students all bear unanimous
testimony to the fidelity, energy and ability
with which he discharges the duties of his office
The session which has just closed has been
one of the most successful in the history of the
institution The quiet and gentlemanly de-
pertinent of the students has won the praise of
our whole community; while their earnest at
tentiou to study, and the large number of uni
versity houors carried away, indicate that the
intellectual, as we'll as the moral atmosphere OF
the institution is in most healthy condition
Moreover, the great Baily endowment, which is
already accumulating interest, MIR. l.. D. Motor
mick Observatory, soon to be erected, and
the addition of Prof Pratt to the scientific corps
of the Faculty, are all new elements OF future
life and vigor, and show that the career of the
institution is still onward aud upward
The prospects for the next session are unusu
ally brlght,as We infer, not only from the gener
ally improving condition Of the Southern States,
but from information coming ia on all hands OF
the growing favor Of our University through
out the whole country.-Lerington Gazette

The travelling emissaries of the Administra-

about the country on electioneering tours ana
come back reporting great gains if rot as
sured success for Gen Grant, in all quarters
and every direction, are just as ignorant of the
true state Of public sentiment in the different
States, as if they had never left their desks and
Offices to remain at which they are paid high
salaries. They traverse the land, consorung
with Radicals. attending Radical meetings, and
hearing Radical accounts, and suppose they
therefore know something when in truth they
only see and hear one side of the matter.

ARCHBISHOP OF BALTlMoRE.-A dispatch
from New York states that Bishop Bayly Of
Newark, \. j., will soon be made Archbishop
of Baltimore, in place OF Archbishop Spaldlng,
deceased. Ever since the death Of the late
Archbishop there have been many surmises as
to who his successor would be, both among the
Roman Catholic clergy and laity, some thin
King that Bishop Bayley, from his wellkuown
popularity throughout the archdloces OF Bal
tilnore, aud irom his great ability, would be
the next occupant OF the vacant see, and the
names of Bishop Elder, of Natchez Mississip-
pi Bishop Whelan, of Wheeling, and Bishop
Becker, of Wilmington, Delaware, were also
mentioned in the same connection. Ofcourse
known by any one until the appointment is
made by the Pope in consistory, and therefore
any statement from New York or elsewhere
that any one, will soon be made Archbishop
of Baltimore is purely supposition or guess
work. The clergy of the archdiocese OF Bal
timore, as we'll as the laty, are all anxlously
awaiting news from Rome, which is expected
any and every day, and no doubt their anxiety
will soon be relieved by the announcement OF
an appointment to the vacant archieplscopal
chair
BishopBagley is about sixty years of age, land
is native of New York State. He was educa-
ted for the Episcopal ministry, and for some
time, as clergyman of that church was station
ed in Western New York, and during the
latter part Of his career was stationed at Ha-
gerstown, in this State, where he was very
popular. He then went to New York, the
time being about thirty years ago, where ne
soon after became convert to the Roman Cath
Ole Church. After being ordained Catho-
lie priest he was for some time secretary tc
Archbishop Huges, Of New York. He was
the first bishop Of Newark, and was consecra.
ted in New York October 80, 1858, by Arch
bishop Bedni, Apostolic Nuncio from Rome,
together with several others who we're raised
to the episcopal dignity. -Bdltin,oreAmerican

COL JOHNSON.

Many have heard of him. He it was
who killed the celebrated chief Tecumseh
many years ago in the Indian wars. We
will not vouch for this being the same
johnson. Neither do we believe he is
any relation to an old imbecil called An
drew Johnson. In fact we can't account
for the title of Colonel. But this John
son is colored gentleman in the employ
of Davis Il Gibson. Mr.. Johnson has a
fine, large house south and east of Davis
d Gilson's store on Carson street, is
building and has nearly completed anoth-
er, and proposes to build third yet this
Fall. The one now building is a neat
little white cottage of five rooms, with
plastered walls, and is conveniently ar
ranged and pleasantly located. Who
shall say that the colored man has no
capacity for business, or capable of self
support, when this man has done all
this working on a salary and supporting
his family. Our country would be the
better for a larger class of such men as
johnson, Grinage, Cromwell, Nelse and
many more We might name.
