members, all of whom have been habitual
drinkers, and thus far, we are proud to say, not
a man has violated his pledge. One of the

OLD WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE e,

During the past year William and Mary
College educated forty-nine Matriculates in
the College, and about sixty scholars in the
Matty School. The professors of that Col
lege, consisting Of President Ewell, Profess
sors Wilmer, Wise, Warmoth, Chandless
and Snead, received from the fall number
of Matriculates in the College, but one
hundred and twenty dollars for the whole
year. Is there another institution in the
whole land that can boast of anobler chari-
ty? We desire to ask President Ewell,
when he went to Washington to seek aid
for the old college, burnt during the war,
what General Grant said to him?
We are credibly informed that when
President Ewell went to General Grant
with his case, he received assurance of SYM
pathy and every aid he could render legally.
1t is reported, however, that Mr.. Greeley
refused sympathy to any institution which
did not admit blacks rs well as whites. 1t
is a little amusing to see these immaculate
blue blooded Virginians claiming Mr.. Gree
ley as their especial friend, and ~denouncing
General Grant as a prosecutor of the
South. at .gg "a gear IA .I

THE New York Herald winds up its re-
view of the situation of the canvass on the
eve Of the Baltimore nomination with the
following bit of sound advice:
"Under these circumstances it is to be hoped
that all low personal abuse will be discontinued
from this date, and that we shall no longer lead
foreign nations to believe, on our own showings
that our choice for next President lies between
a knaye and a fool" TgttI BEFlaEf
For III part, we never indulge in per-
sonal abuse of any one. 1t is not our
style in politics. 1t does not help my
cause. In fact, it drives decent people
from its support; and who wants success
unless he can succeed in decent company ?
-Rtchmond Enquirer.
The above meets our views precisely,
and we bear cheerful testimony to the toler-
ant spirit which pervades the Ea9u1er's

THE st. Louis Times, a very warm Gree

Tuesday
We agree with ex-senator G. w. Jones,
Of Iowa, that either Mr.. Pendlcton, Mr..
Hendricks, or Gov. Hoffman, would adj
minister the government as ably as Horace
Greeley, and much more to our liking as
Democrats, if they only get the chance
and the reason why we support Greeley o
little more earnestly than our friend does
is, because we want to help them get the
chance.o H.
Will the few Greeley Republicans in tho
land please notice this frank admission !
The Greeley candidacy is supported by the
Democracy as the best plan to enable the
Democratic party, pure and simple, as rep
resented in Hoffman, the patron Of thu
Tammany thieves, to obtain the control o
the government. Are Republicans read,
SO assist in this, because of a few paltl.
personal grievances? l.f rG-a...
