AAA tANDEkBALT UNIVERSITY.
The following are the resolutions rela-
tive 70 the proposed Vanderbilt University,
which were introduced BY DR.. Atchison ia
the Common Council at its last meeting,
and unanimously adopted by thai body:
Whereas, The trustees of the Central
University of the M. E. Church South,
have been rendered by Cornelius Wander
biit, OF New York, a munifcent donation
OF 100000, and the same has been for
mally accepted under the conditions an.
nexed, one of the conditions contemplating
the erection of University az or near
Nashville, Tenn, and y
Whereas, this city Is the central radiating
point OF the great church under whose au-
spices the proceeds of This bequest are to
be expended, and the site of its mammoth
publishing house, and in bealthfulness, sa-
lubrity and eminence as an educational
centre, possesses superior advantages to
any city within the territory to be served
10y the university, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Mayor and City Council
OF Nashville, tina. JOINT committee of al
oeJmen and councilmen be appointed by
the Mayor to take into consideration the
10SS@NSeS VI VIC OAtJ Va NaoUNAtAC3 lAfOAN@u
In securing the location of
the university, in accordance
with the conditions of the Vanderbilt do
nation, above recited, namely, at or near
the city of Nashville, and that said commit
tee have power to confer with the Trus-
tees of said University, and with the Col
lege Of Bishops of the Al. E. Church South
aud r"port TO this body at as early day
as practicable what action may be advisable
in the premises to accomplish the object Of
establishing the University at this point.
Resolved, That upon the recommend
ton of the joint committee, the Mayor be
requested TO call public meeting of citi-
zsns in the furtherance of this object.
1t is gratifying to believe that our citizens
of all denominations and all classes are be-
coming fully aroused to the importance of
taking such steps as win certainly secure
the location of this great institution in our
midst. 1t is Nashville's great opportunity
to become the grand educational center of
the South and Southwest. We must not
let Il slip. Let our citizens continue to agi-
tate it. Let our authorities take hold and
urge and aid it.

THE GANGRENE WHICH KILLS.

The New York Herald, which has given
steady and eficien. support TO the Grant
administration, discourses of the Republi-
can party as follows:
"With the expiration of this debauched
and degraded Congress, passed away the
Republican party. No continued profess
sions Of virtue and reform can save the po-
litical organization whose leading men,
bers, with large majority in both Houses
Of Congress, have shielded corruptionists
and purjurers, and thus made themselves
responsible, as party, for the of5nses they
were too cowardly or too base to condemn.
The party which thus
stands branded as disreputable and self con-
victed of corruption cannot hope to escape
public conf emnation. No professions of
honesty and virtue VIII save the politicians
who still clasp Colfax to their hearts and
make common cause with Paterson and
Harlan, with Pomeroy and Caldwell, and
with Kelly, Garfield and Bingham"
In the pulpit, on the stump, in cartoon
and carricature, and in virtuous homilies of
the Radical press, says the Albany argus,
the party Of moral ideas had its fling at the
good old Democratic parry, (Which brought
more good to the greatest number than any
other party ever governing the country,)
when borne down By the weight Of Tweed.
Political hypocrites who have since more
than rivaled Tweed, turned up their
pious noses in scorn as they proclaimed
their belief that there was not any honesty
among Democrats. But it would seem at
the present day that Diogenes might light
his lantern calcium, and yet fail to find hon
esty now with the Republicans. They won
power first on the slavery question, and
have lived of late years on the boast that
they "cast out the devil of slavery from the
land" Whatever they have cast out, they
seem to have brought in more than seven
other devils worse than the first, to torment
and alarm the people,

@pRoFEssoR AeAssIz ON THE NE

0KO."
We recently published from Pennsyl-
vania paper that which Iufp6rted 10 be an
extract from lecture Of Prof. Agassiz,
showing the evident distinctions between
the white and black races. This was sent
to Prof. A., and he replied in letter to the
UNION AND AMERICAN that he had enever
uttered a sentiment in any way approaching
or akin in spirit TO the report" ascribed to
him. To this denial, the author of Ariel
replied through the columns Of the UNION
AND AMERICAN, stating that he had seen
the same in the New York papers a few
years since, reported as part of lecture
by Prof. Agassiz. Now we find the same
extract ir the Boston Journal of Chemistry
for April, with the following Introductory
remarks: a6iFf
awhile Darwin can tevolve' the whole
animal kingdom, man included, from a sin
gle low form of life, Agassiz considers it
necessary to assume separate creations for
the dlfferen. races of men; but we cannot
see that either has yet made out his case.
AgassiZ calls the Darwinian theory ga mine
of assertion what wond d Arwin say of the
following, which the Scientific Press, of
San Francisco, quotes from a recent lee
ture by Agassiz?"
And here follows the extract, word for
word, which was published in our issue Of
the 18th inst, and of which Professor
Agassiz now says, 81 never uttered state
ment in any way approaching or akin in
spirit 10 the report ascribed to me-"
Professor A. will have to rise to explain.

RESPONSIBILITYIO A TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.

An opinion has recently been delivered BY
the Supreme Cour5 Of Illinois touching the
responsibility Of telegraph company for
errors in the transmission of messages,
which is of considerable Importance to COM
mercial men. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company was sued in one of the
courts Of Illinois some time ago by James
E. Tyler, of Chicago, and John Wrenn, of
New York, for damages for carelessness in
transmitting a dispatch from Chicago to
New York, authorizing Wrenn to buy 100
shares of Western Union Stock, which the
operator transmitted as an authority to buy
one thousand shares of that stock.
The jury found for the plaintiffs
damages ofS2.60, being the cost ofthe mes
sage. A motion for a new trial vas over
ruled, and the case was appealed to the
Supreme Court. On the oath inst. Judge
Breese delivered the opinion of that tribu-
nal, which is an exhaustive one, and enters
into the entire question of restricted liza
bility of the matter of telegrapbic messages.
The decision clearly defines that the sender
of telegram is not obliged to repeat the
message. The alleged restrictions were
declared insufficient, being a delusion and
an imposition. The opinion concludes as
follows:
"Courts should be slow in exempting
these companies from liability for mistakes
of the nature referred TO. To such perfec-
ton has the art of telegraphy reached that
in the last thirty years in which electric tel
egrsphs have been operated, we have been
unable to find among the reported cases in
this country and in England more than fifty
instituted against those companies for loss
es occssioned by their negligence. The
messages sent by them in the time have
amounted to millions. Under these cir
cumstances, their bold claim to exemption
should meet with no favor from the courts.
The doctrine, TO benefit the pubic, must be,
as We have endeavored to establish; that a
mistake in Transmission is prima facie evil
dence of negligence, and the burden is on
the company TO show the contrary. If these
companies rely upon contracts as restrict
ing their liability, it is incumbent on them
to shoE valid contract freely entered into
by the sender Of the message for a valuable
consideration paid by the company or ae-
knowledged by the sender. But even such
contract will not relieve the company from
gross negligence. On The most mature re-
Election, aidef by all the lights shed upon
this subject, we are at a loss to understand
upon what principle telegraph company
should be accorded immunity for tbosa
forts; or be relieved from the liabilities vol
unfairly assumed by them. If they desire
TO restrict their liability, it must be done by
a contract fairly and knowingly entered into
and for valuable consideration.
"Holding these views, the Judgment of
the court below must be reversed and the
cause rem&nded for further proceedings
consistent with this opinion"

NEWSPAPER CLUBBING;

The Banner is mistaken III thinking that
we find fault with its arrangement to circu-
late its political opinions. The UNION
AND AMERICAN would certainly be very
willing to adopt the same mode of getting
its political views into every Republican
family in the State. If our country ex-
changes, who are opposed to the prac-
lice, principles and policy of the
Grant administration, are content
to thus aid in giving currency to the Ban
ner's political opinions, we have nothing to
say against it as a business arrangement.
As a political device it is a very happy
thought of the Banner. Whether it is SO
happy a suggestion, politically, for those
who oppose and yet circulate the Banner is
certainly very different question.

THE ''Nstural Bridge Hoax" appears to
have been especially severe on the people
in the vicinity of the bridge itself. A Yir-
ginia paper says some ladies started at once
for the bridge. Some citizens sighed in Sc
cret sorrow and slept night in woeful de-
fusion. Several farmers declared they
knew something was going wrong" for
they had smelt strange smell for day or
two. At the churches in the rural districts
it required couple of hymns and person
al invitation from the descons to get the
people to break of discussing the bridge
and come in. Many regretted it was such
a good plOughing season, as they were anx-
ious TO use horse in seeing what was left
of the "bridge." Many persons have visited
it, and many more have been turned back
by learning the true state of the case.

The recent session of Congress at which
the Republican majority increased Grants
i salary from $4,000 TO $4,000 year (snd
he approved is to make it law, also gave
him $4,000 to buy new furniture; s., 900
B to pay his gas bin; 5000 to buy coal; and
$4,000 for his glass flower garden. Besides
this, it is only little while since between
$4,000 and $4,000 were cribbed from the
Treasury building appropriation to build
him billiard room and stable. Instead
Of getting $4,000 year, he actually re-
ceives over 100000. Pretty well, this, for
plain Republ can President.

THE Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune states that thirty-six
Senators had up to the 10Th inst. drawn
their extralpsy for the last Congress. The
only Senator who has thus far refused to
take the money is Mr.. Corbett, of Oregon.
Whereupon the Tribune says ediLorially !:
''The rest have simply left it in the hands of
the SergeaDt-at-Arms-to be called for
when the excitement has subsidized. Great
Difference to public opinion is shown in
this sacrifice of interest on the amounts
lying idle. What with the Credit Mobilier
stock turned over by Dir. Kelley and the
uncalled for back pay, the Sergeant-a,-
Arms has his bands full of conscience
money!"

"THE Boston FIRE" is the title of a
book just issued which gives some interest
log and apparently accurate statistics in
r gard to the great fire in Boston. For
ilstance, there were 1895, 525 feet of land
burned over. The value of this land was
$34,365,200. The assessed valuation of
the buildings burned was S12,745, 800.
Tue assessors estimated they were assessed
within ten per cent. of their valuation.
Adding this would make their real valua-
ton S14,019,S90. This was supposed by
the assessors to represent two-thirds of its
valuation. Adding one-third would make
1921, zoo. The estimated value of con-
signed goods destroyed was 100000,
making the total loss by fire about SIS, 29l,-
$50. Five hundred and ffty-two separate
estates and nine hundred and ninety-nine
firms were burned out.

THE Thursday before the Senate adjourn

taAt day, relative to the circumstances at
tending the election of Charles r. Bucka-

that be attempted to buy The Democratic
N smbers of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
a. that time, 10 make himself Senator, and
that be was only prevented from doing SO
by the Democrats threatening that any
man who sold out TO Cameron would be
shot. As Hamilton stated, the Democratic
members of the Legislature voted with
pistols at their heads. Cameron proposed
to deny Hamilton's charge, but it appears
some Of his friends got hold Of him, and
they must have talked to his bead, for he
allowed the Senate to adjourn four or i've
days afterwards without making the prom

The suit against Polhamus q Jackson,
the New York brokers, charged with re-
ceiving government money from Paymas-
ter Hodge for speculation, have been dis
missed by order of the President, through
the efforts of Edwards Pierrepont. Judge
Davis, when District Attorney, urged the
prosecution Of these suits, and his suc.es-
sor, Mr.. Bliss, took the same position.
There is a suspicion in Washington that
the. suits against Polhamus s. Jackson, if
prosecuted, would develop unpleasant
things about certain government officials
reported as being in with Hodge in his
transactions. That is the way Grant
screens his political friends. Is it any
wonder corruption permestes every depart
ment of the government?

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, whose letter is repro
duced elsewhere, makes a singular revela-
ton as to how a Washington editor was
silen ed and q possible scandal quieted.
When the Republican was pitching into
Senator Casserly quite savagely, in the hope
of diverting attention from Republican cor
ruption, that gentleman stated be should
take no notice of the matter, since the
Legislature of California had investigated
the CHARGES and failed To discover anything
in them. But it now appears that an in
vestigatiou by the Senate with the intent to
implicate Senator Casserly, would result in
developing an amount of Republican cor
ruption which would be utterly ruinous to
the party, and so the affair is hushed up by
the direct interference of Grant. Il really
seems as If there is no end to the corrup-
ton which has crept into every branch of
the public service under Republican rule.
