MISSISSIPPI MILITARY INSTITUTE.
This young institution, located at West
Point, Mississippi, is, we are pleased to
learn, in a most flOurishing condition, and
bids fair to eclipse its older com etitors at
no distant day if they do not look after
their laurels. Prof Murfree, formerly Pro-
fessor in Union College, Tennessee, and at
Alabama University, Tuscaloosa, is in
charge of the school at West Point, and has
infused into it the great energy, vigor and
discipline for which he is so well known.
He is gentleman of high attachments and
of high character, and all who intrust their
sons to his care will leave them in good
hands. See advertisement elsewhere.
UNION FEMALE CoLLEGE.-We in
vite attention to the card of Prof r. J.
Guthrie, the recently elected President OF
this popular Institution of learning. The
College opens September 10th. The Col
lege is one of the best-in the land. 1t is
first-class in all its appointments. The ex-
penses are very reason able.

DEATH OF Mrs. STEwART.-A tele-
gram from Newport, r. l., early last week.
brought the sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs. AMANpA T. STEWART, WIFI of our fell

The PRRss AND THE CONGRESSIONAL
VERDIcT,-A rather lame and impotent
conclusion has been, reached in the
House of Representatives on the sub
ject of the Credit Mobilier corruption
the reuslt being that the House after
an animated debate Of three days and
nights, merely condemns" Oakes Ames
and James Brooks instead of expelling
them, as recommended by the commits
tee, while the latter as well as the
House, permit all the rest to 60 with
out rebuke. Whether this results from
the fact that there is such mass OF
corruption in the country that has not
been investigated, and because it would
be unjust to punish the few Who have
been 80 unfortunate as to be found out,
or that "a fellow feeling makes (some
OF them) wondrous kind" we will not
undertake TO say. But it is certain that
the people. are disappointed In the
action oil their representatives in this
matter, and will make their '.condemna>
ton" much wider than the House has
done. The expressions OF the leading
press show this incontrovertbly'
The New York Tines (republican)
eays the House showed its power to ex-
pei by condemnipg Ames and Brooks,
and its conclusion WAS moral cowar-
dice, which Will result in the belief OF
the people that the representatives that
can acknowledge the guilt OF their as
sociates and not cast them out are not
to be blindly trusted. The New York
Journal Of Commerce independently does
not see how the House can take the
Jurisdiction merely for censure, when 1t
declares its inability to expel on &C
count of the fact that the offenses were
committed anterior to the membership
OF those charged with them. 1t argues
that a censure assumes jurisdiction,
and that no right exists to assume 1t
partially and avoid its whole RESPONSE
bility. The punishment ought to have
been impartial. The New York World
thinks that the House has made itself
an accomplice after the fact in the
Credit Mobil;er infamy. The New
York Herald chsracterizes it as a
maudlln expression of charity, ingeni-
GUS gabbliDgs, bold defiance, oily hypo-
crisy and false pretenses. The New
York Sun says the committee, by their
partially and pusilanimity, have bro
ken down the whole case.-Battmore

THE Toledo Blade (Nssby's paper)
reviews the whole case of Mr.. Colfsx
through sevelal columns, and concludes
with the verdict Of guilty" 1t then
says:
"Inasmuch as Congress seems power
less to punish corruption on the part Of
it's own members; since the Caldwells
and Pomeroys can not be expelled from
the Senate, nor the Ameses, Brooksss
and others even censured by the House
while the Vice President is untouched
by any decisive action, the whole mat
ter reverts to the people, and these mer
must be tried at the bar OF public sen
timent."

The Newburyport Mystery Solved

4
The Boston Post says: "The extra
ordinary manifestations in the New
buryport, Massachusetts, school house
have at last been accounted Tor The
strange and unnatural sights ana
sounds, the nimble spectre, the yield
ing pegs and the unruly doors and
blinds, have all been discovered to be
but the tricks OF the mischievous boys
who eat on the school house benches
The committee appointed to inves,i-
gate the matter, after close examina-
ton OF the school house and hearing
the testimony OF the scholars, report
that the whole matter can be account
ed for without any spiritual ratioc'na-
ton. A number OF boys state that
they have played ghost, and that
while they were dong so,
they have been accustomed
to cover their faces with white cloth,
in order that they might not be detect
ed. They used to get up into the attic
and look down the ventilator, and then
20 down and peep in at the windows.
The teacher chased them witha broom
stick, and they used to clip away from
her and disappear around some corner.
Another pair of mischievous bows state
that they were frequently in the cellar
OF the building, and that they used to
come out in all manner OF fantastic rigs
i q order to frighten the girls in the ad-
iacent schools. 1t was discovered, too,
that the boys were well supplied with
elastic cord and other ingeniously con-
trived apparatus for playing their tricks
and that spikes and cords were convent
emily arranged in the school building
for their diableris. The committee con-
cluded that, after deducting the stories
about the school room that have been
afloat, there isn't enough lett to make
q ghost.
