COLLEGE HAzING.--Y esterday, the first
Monday of the college year at Harvard,
roes among the collegians by the name of
.Bioody Monday" as it is the day on
which the several hazing OF the freshmen
is prosecuted by the sophomores. This
cruel and unpaanlv abuse of the unsophis-
ticsted boys who have just become MEM
bers OF the college is often carried to
extremes which are disgrace to the
college and to human nature, and there is
no, line of argument in its favor which can
palliate, much less vindicate it. We call
10 mind one instance of hazing on Bloody
Monday which is as admirable and sweet
" touching as such instances are generally
revolving and disgraceiul. 1t occurred,
if we remember correctly, in 1862. 1t
was noticed by some sophomores that two
country boys had begun their housekeep-
ing in room on the ground floor of one
of the college halls, with miserable apol-
ogy for bed, no carpet, no table, and
only two chairs, as the sum total of their
outfit. 1t was learned also that they pro-
posed to board themselves, and had only
a few dollars for their food during the
term. ION this hint they acted On
Bloody Monday" night the poor trem-
bling youths were summoned by ''soph,"
who was not over courteous, to go to
room upstairs. Upstairs they went, pale
and trembling, expecting to be dealt with
without mercy. They were detained there
an hour or so, not being molested but
quizzed by the circle of "sophs" in the
room. Then they were dismissed to their
own room. When they entered it, it was
over nice new carpet. There was a
tasteful bedstead and appurtenanees, a
study table, chairs, a lamp, a bookcase,
Stove, and SO forward, and in their
closet they found provisions for several
days. This was hazing to blessed pur-
pose. We fear that the example stands
almost or quite alone.-Neu Bedford Ner

The constitutionality of the new bank.
rupt law is O question which has not been
much discussed. We have. in our discus
sions of the law, assumed its constitutional
ity. The letter of john NJ. ORR, Esq. which
we published last week, declares that it i:
unconstitutional. And a prominent lawyer
Of this city has suggested this idea-namely,
that whereas the former laws were consti,u.
tional because they derived their quality oil
uniformity "a quality required BY the Con
stitution) from the fact that they respected
the law Of each several State, and allowed
the bankrupt such exemption, and such only
as the State law prescribed, the present Law
is unconstitutional because it does not re-
spect the State law. but provides that the
same shall be totally disregarded. In word
since the Federal Constitution requires q
bankrupt law 10 be uniform, Congress mus,
either fix the sum that shall be allowed In
every State or else give its law uniformity by
allowing the several States to tx the exemp.
ton. The present law does neither. /,
oyerrides the State law in terms, aud vel
does not fix sum that shall be exemrted il
all the States. 1t requires-not allows
$4,000 to be exempted Ia Virginia, and MOI
hall rs much in some other States. Thi.
view of the law would be very apt to pre-
vail with the Supreme Court of the United
| States.

Postal Reform.

The new law making all mail matter bear
postage will bring, we estimate, some FIVE or
six hundred thousand dollars into the Fede'
raj Treasury. 1t is good law, and should
not be disturbed.
But the postal laws are not yet perfect
Safety, certainty, and celebrity are what the
interests of a commercial people demand Of
postal system. The celebrity Of our pre-
sent system may be very much increased by
requiring prepayment of postage upon news.
papers. All other matter is, we believe, now
required to be prepaid.
In order, however, to this end, the present
absurd plan of charging so much per sheet
must be abandoned. Postage must be
charged according to the services rendered
We have heretofore said that the mails
should be cheap TO all and free to none. We
now add that the fact Of the presence Of mat
ter in q mailbag should be conclusive proof
that the postage upon it has been paid. The
charge should be-as 1t is for every other ar.
ticle not peculiarly yaluable-so much per
ton or per pound. A ton Of imprinted pa.
per can be sent from here to Lynchburg for
two dollars. Why should the charge upon
the same paper be $500 when it has been
printed? Yet such is the fact.
But the great desideratum Is to save the
counting of the sheets. Let the postmaster
here, for instance, have her scales ready at all
times of the night aud day, and when an edi.
tor sends up load Of mailable mat er let it
be weighed and the postage be paid upon it
at once.
What would be the result ? Ten thousand
clerks might be discharged from the Post
Office Department; poStmasters would have
to keep no accounts with newspaper sub.
scribers newspap ers would he delivered
like letters-without making the sub
scriber mad (who had no change in his
pockep by refusing to trust him for cent,
and without any risk to the Department
Time would be saved. There are now fifty
thousand postmasters, who keep accounts
with forty millions of people, Or their repre-
sentatiyes. Ali these accounts would be
forthwith closed. ua
Let us have law requiring prepayment
of all postage, and charging SO much per
ton, or per hundred pounds, on newspapers

Who that is familiar withthe history OF the

distinguished agent Of the Pennsylvania Cen

that he had never seen such Legislature as
that of Virginia. In the Pennsylvania Lee

was a very different matter. When he

not known before. He bought the African,
and that individual, with teeth so white
and "the smile that was so childlike ana
bland" sold himself to the adversary, and
had to be bought second time a.s
We fully credit this story. 1t Is a
striking Illustration of the degradation
brought upon the South by reconstruction.
Before the war no whisper of corruption
was ever uttered against the Virginia Legs

but we suppose there is not in Virginia an
Individual who does not believe that bribery
has been the agent for influencing the LegIs-
lature of Virginia ever since 1869. 1t has
been too plain to admit of doubt; and we
may well say, accursed be the agency by
which pure Government has been thus
degraded to degree Of corruption that is
IA, o,on,ip,t;on in the ewes of the world.
But these things, thus beginning to deve-
lop themselves to the people of the North,
cannot continue to exist in a country like
this. They are hostile to every phase of po-
li,ical power that can go to make UP the
force and dignity of'a nation. Another re-
volution-peaceful one, we believe-is in
dispensable to necessary reformation and
to the restoration OF the national force and
harmony that is to bring this country to its
proper place amongst nations.
