The Methodist UniHersitr.

DIR. Cobleigh, in the last number of the
Methodist AdUocdtc, gives the following
reasons which governed the Committee in
locating the Methodist University at this
place:
We do not expect the community in
which it is located to furnish all the money
with which to build and enddN the Uni
versty yet we do expect that Community
to contribute much more largely to build
it up as the years roll on, than they have
promised to contribute to secure the loca-
ton. This, we are confident the Knox
vile people will be willing to do, when
they see fully the advantages they are to
reap from it. But there is another view of
the subject which many of those desiring
the University, and others, perhaps, have
not once thought of. Much of the money
to endow the University must be sought
abroad in the North, West and East
from members of our church of abundant
wealth. That class of men have been
coming more and more into the conviction,
for the last twenty years, that a first-class
University can not be built up and sus-
tanned, unless located near q thriving and
pOpulous city, or one that is likely to be-
come such. 1t would be practically inn
possible to reach that class of persons, and
secure from them large donations, if we
had located the University, contrary to
their convictions of practical wisdom and
success, in a small country village with
but ordinary prospect of future growth.
Some of the Committee for years have
known this fact, learned it by practical
experience in connection with institutions
of learning and agencies for the procure
ment of funds to endow them or liquidate
their debts. In selecting location, we
could not ignore facts that we had learned
thoroughly by the hard teachings of ex-
perience and unmistakable observations.
Where is there to-day great and flour
ishing University in Europe, or even in
this country, which is not really or prac-
tically in close proximity to large and
thriving city, or has cherishing state or
immense wealth under it and behind it to
push it forward? How many institutions
in Europe and in this country, founded
with fond expectations of success, that
have failed or are now failing from the
simple fact of a mistake made in reference
to their location? With light and knowl-
edge gathered from all these sources, we
voted for Knoxville in preference to any
other place asking for it, because we
wished to avoid such a mistake and make
it, in our view, really and truly Univer-
slty.

The Montgomery advertiser estimates
that the money paid for the cotton
crop of last years growth will not fall far
short of $3.50, 200, 900. OF this sum about
S3o,O0O,OOO have gone to the spectators
and first purchasers, leaving S2O5, 900 900 TO
the producers. Alabama's share of this
magnificent sum is nearly S35, 900 600, es-
timating her crop at 400, 900, 900 bales.

The change just made in the officers of
the internal revenue districts displaces 220
assessors and 200 assistant assessors. The
number of collectors is now 300. The
Commissioner estimates that this change
and reduction of officers will effect saving
to the Government of one million dollars
annually.

the Republican party controls large

was "a revolution inspired by the meaueSt

every life which has been lost or may be
