A NEW UNIvERsITY-T Methodists
of Tennessee determined, during the
past year, to raise one million dollars to
establish a university, and board of
trust was authorised, when half that
sum should be raised, to take steps to
begin work. The recent subscription of
Commodore Vanderbilt, of half million
dollars, is regarded as making the uni
versity an established fact. The re-
nainder of the million will be raised, so
the leading Methodists believe, without
serious difficulty. 1t is probable that
Nashville will be selected as the location.
There is much rejoicing among the

THURSDAYS STORM. The storm Of
Thursday night, "during its duration"
ragged with fearful intensity, blowing the
snow in every conceivable direction, at
one and the same time. causing as usual,
a delay in railroading. The night eX-
press trains east, over the Rutland rail-
road, both to and from Bellows Falls,
were discontinued, while the mixed
train, due here at S:45 Thursday even
ing, did not arrive until about noon yes
terday The early morning train for
Bellows Falls was, also, discontinued
for the trip. At points on tie Harlem
Extension railrord, the drifts are said to
have reached nearly to the hight of the
top of the locomotives boiler. There
was, accordingly, a delay attending the
arrival of the train, Thursday night, and
the departure of Friday mornings train,
but not to that extent that might have
been anticipated from such drifts. We
learn of no particular delay in other di-
rections.

THE MoDoos. "A special dispatch to
the New York Herald, from Van
Bremer's Ranch, March 10Th, says that
there are now in camp three batteries OF
the Fourth artillery, two companies OF
the Twelfth infantry and one troop OF
First cavalry, making in all about two
hundred and fifty rank and file. There
are two troops of the First cavalry at
Doris ranch, four companies of the
Twenty-first infantry at Lost River and
two troops of the First cavalry at Clear
Lake-the total number of troops
amounting to about five hundred and
fifty or six hundred. General Candy is
very reticent as to what move he in
tends to make, for fear the Indians
would learn his intentions through the
agency of some of the squaws and men.
From preparations that are being made
/ am led to believe that we will move
camp before long, and completely sur
round the lava bed. There will be three
or four camps-one on the banks OF
Tule Lake, at the foot of the bluffs,
about two miles due west of Jacks cave;
another at the foot of the Love Butte,
about four miles south of Jacks cave !;
another at Landes ranch, on the eastern
side, and perhaps some on the peninsula,
to the northeast of the cave. These
movements will probably be made in
the course of few days.

VERMONT CENTRAL LITIGATION.
prosecution of the charges against the
trustees ard managers of the Vermont
Central and Vermont & Canada railroads
are, if we understand correctly, practi-
cally at an end, in the present form at
least. The Chancellor was to have rem
dered a decision yesterday, of which we
may possibly have report in our tele-
graphic columns. We understand the
Chancellor to have intimated that, even
if the alleged charges were true, it in
volyed the accounts of the trustees and
were to beconsidered in the settlement
of their accounts, and not on petitions
in the present form. The accounts of
the trustees are under the direction OF
the Court of Charcery, and the proper
and usual course has been to refer them
] to a Masteror Masters to examine and
report theron. OF course, if these ac-
COUNTS contain improper or illegal
CHARGES fhe trustees personally, and not
the trust find, are liable. If upon a
Il
full and proper accounting, it should APP
near that the trustees are not proper per-
sons to discharge the trust, the Court OF
Chancery, oil proper motion, could dis
nose of the whole matter. We take it,
that under the iatimation of the Chan
cellor. as well as settled rule of law
and practice, the whole matter could be
disposed of in the same proceeding under
which, annually or oftener, the trustees
now render their accounts. Such, if we
remember correctly, has been the course
in other railroad proceedings in this
State, except, possibly, in cases where
the death or resignation of trustee,
rendered a new appointment necessary
in pending litigation and as necessary
party thereto.

gestion will bring this rambling article
to conclusion, and, at the same time,
suggest with terrible reality the conclu-
sion TO which we came the other day.
II may be and is said that the civilizing
and outstanding of the Indians is not
the work of day, or years OF tens of
years, but will require time, patience and
renewed, persistent effort. This may be
so. This is so. But a few, very few
years, win see their almost entire ex-
tinction, certainly as race Recall,
without reference to actual statistics,
the immense hordes Of sayages inhabit-
ing this country two hundred and fifty
years ago, or even at the commence
ment of the present century. Then turn
to the census of 1870, carefully consider
the figures and say if we mistake the
probable-aye, inevitable-solution OF
the problem Total Indian population
in 1860 for congressional representa-
ton, 44,O21, while in 1870, it was only
25, 731. The result is inevitable, the
conclusion is irresistible. We under
stand, of course, that this does not in
clude the whole Indian population, but
it shows the terrible percentage of NOR
tality, and this will be found to extend
through the whole class of Indians and
is sufficient for the illustration.
