The University of Edinburgh has made one
of those sudden turns upon its own track,
which have marked the whole course of the
Woman Question, in every quarter of the globe
1t will be remembered that this University
opened its doors to women under certain con-
dltiOns, aud that several avalled themselves of
the privilege and passed through portion OF
the course OF study necessary for medical de
gree. But when they came to apply to a new
set of Professors for different branch of
studies, their application was refused. and they
found themselves exposed to the danger of
beng dismissed with their work halt done
aud nothing to show for it. They appealed to
the Courts for redress, praying that the Uni
versity be compelled to provide them with
separate course of instruction; but the Court
decided that they could only ask for their de-
grees after they had received the necessary in
struction, and that the University could not
be compelled to give them this instruction.
They then appealed to full Bench, basing
their demand on the much broader claim that
woman had an equal right with men in every
department of the University. On this ques
ton the Court decided with equal breadth
that women had no right whatever to demand
an education in a University of Scotland.
There is therefore no redress open to these
ladies', except to induce the disafected Pro-
fesSOrs to organize separate classes tor them,
or to break open the doors Of the Universities
by acts OF Parliament.-N Y Tribune.

THE BANKRUPTCY LAw.-The case of
Lance Walker, recently tried in the United
States Court, is one proof Of the efficiency Of
our bankruptcy laws. Here was man who,
after a toerably fair start in business, seems to
have determined to break with all the laws
that govern society. The jury found that he
concealed his property, or rather that of his
partners and creditors, and wasted their money
IN an effort TO get a divorce. 1t is no small
satisfaction to merchants to know that the i'm
munity to honest debtors does not apply to the
case of man who wilfully and fraudulently
conceals his assets, and leaves to them the
poor consolation of resort to law, which
simply takes more money and puts the debtor
under no additional penalty. Walker seems to
possess an Obstinacy of purpose in pursuit OF
his own ends, that, applied to good objects,
might command a high degree of success. For
nearly two years he has preferred a Jail to a
compliance with the request of his creditors,
his assignee in bankruptcy, and even his own
counsel, to tell them what had become of his
assets In old times this would have ended in
possibly sixty days imprisonment in our
County Prison and discharge under the State
insOlvent laws. Now, he has stood the test of
a Jury trial, and the issue has been decided
against him. At least one other such case
stands for trial in the same court, but the very
infreQuehcy of such proceedings shows that the
United States bankrupt laws, fairly admins.
tered, enable honest debtors to get discharge,
and prevent dishonest men from trying to
defeat the law and justice. LEDGER

Ex-Gov. P. o. Hebert of Louisiana has
written long letter warmly indOrsing Gen.
Beauregards 8 address. He says: "The freed
men aud ourselves have a common country,
common interests. Our prosperity or poverty
is partnership. As one succeeds or fails, so
does the other. The freedman of the South is
not migratory he wishes to stay. 1t
is clear, therefore, that the colored people and
ourselves are destined to be joint occupants of
the country-prOvided we can get along
together Is there any insurmOuntable OBJ
stacls in the way to harmony and mutual,
equitable understanding There may be, from
the difference of races. Be this as it may,
our duty is plain Let US grant all the rights
and privileges enjoyed by white people, equally,
aud beyond cavi, to the freedman. It's his
business, like others, to establish his social
status-as he makes his social bed he must
sleep on it. We must not taboo him or place
any distractions in his way. Give him free
field and a fair chance" In concluding his
letter Gov. Hebert enters a vigorous protest
against charge that the South is prejudiced
against Northern men, He says there is q
strong prejudice against Northern thieves, but
that honest men are heartily welcome.

pushed against NJ. Lemoinne and angered him,

who the young Frenchman was, and, in their
sight. caught up with the Prince and informed
him of the identity Of Lemoinne, who had

MORE ABOUT GOULD AND GARRETr.-The
Washington Star, of Monday says: The
Pennsylvania Company, having arranged diff
fculties with the Union (tunneI Railway
Company through Baltimore, will use the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore road
as the link in the main passenger line between
Washington and New York, instead of going
by way or Columbia, and therefore the Baltl-
more and Ohio road, which has aimed to pre-
vent any coalition between the other roads
named, fluids itself out in the cold and obliged
to go on with its project of seeking an indepen-
dent route to New York; as, though its rela-
tions with the Philadelphia, Wilmington y
Baltimore road are friendly enough, its adver-
sary the Pennsylvania Company, controls the
Jersey system of roads, and New Y York terminus.
Mr.. Garrett has therefore joined hands with
Jay Gould for line between New ork and
Baltimore independent of the existing line.
BY this combination, it is proposed to take
passengers from New York to Sandy Hook by
steamer, thence across New Jersey by rail to
Bay Side, on the Delaware Bay, at which
point another steamer will connect with Bonn
bay Hook, on the Delaware side OF the bay.
There the railroad will again be brought into
requiSitOn for transportation across the PENN
sula of Delaware and Eastern Shore to Rock
Hall, in Kent county Maryland, and from
then,e steamers will land passengers at Balti-
more to go South over Mr.. CARROTS road.
Jay Gould is to supply the connection to Rock
Hall, and Mr.. Garrett will furnish the ferrlage
from there to Baltimore. According to report
this route will be open for business by the list
of September.

A PEACH CoRNER.-The New York COM

sion among the prominent fruit sellers that the
cron this season will be much above the
average Indeed, many OF them nave no
hesitation in saying that 1t will be very large
one. Even those who were understood 20 have
entered into the corner" movement, believe
that the crop will exceed that of previous
yea1s, but they excuse their intended action on
the ground that the frelg ghts will be higher,
and il will, therefore, be necessary to put the
nrices up to make profit. This, however, is
false A reporter of the Commercial called on
several officials of the express companies, and
learned from them that the rates of transporta-
ton this year will be no.hgher than they were
last. The policy OF railroad companies, Of
always decreasing their freight rates during
the summer months, has been so long the
accepted one, and as the freight business this
wear has been no higher than of recent years,
It is hardly probable that they will take diff
ferent stand this season. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the dealers have no real ground upon
which to base their action, aud full exposure
of the matter will doubtless defeat their
intentions.
