How lie RorEs THEM INA friend
of oars, who was at Highland last week,
met young man Just frsm Phillipsburg.
Phillips county, who said they wore all
in favor Of Phillips for Congress-, out
there, because no was laboring to have
the Land Office removed to PhillIpsburs.
lilo said the arrangement was already
made, and Phillips was staying right
there at Washington, to SEQ that il was
carried out, and would not leave until It
was accomplished. Our friend told him
no had seen Phillips in Doniphan coan-
~, only a tow days before, working for
his own denomination. The young man
thought it certainly was . mistake, As
they had positive information out there,
that Phillips was in Washington, giving
special attention to tho interests Of Phil
lipsburg! And this is the way he is
roping in tho people OF tho West.-71oy

A National UnIverslty.

The national university made its an.
nual appearance before tho national cdu-
cationai association on Wednesday, the
subject being presented in an eloquent
address by President White, Of Cornell
university. Tho tclegraphic abstracts
are exceedingly meager, but indicate
that it was largely directed against the
multiplication Of colleges, and especially
,ot colleges founded upon q scctarian
basis. Tho true principle Of thorough
education he held to lie in y cOncentra-
ton of resources. While the older cOun-
tries had found this out and werc prac-
ticing upon it, the United States was
scattering its strength.
As result we had 364 colleges, most
Of them with miscrably inadequate and
incomplete libraries. faculties, labor tor.
les and apparatus. Good college pro-
lessons were So hampered and harasscd
by the want of means and apparatus, and
by the seetarian spirit; as to become
helpless as educators. Most of the col
leges of this country were only little
schools, with pompous, high-sounding
names. a traveller in the west often
lands at depot which cost moro than
all the colleges of the state, sleeps at u
hotel in which il invested moro capital
than all the institutions for advanced
learning, and visits institutions for the
cure. Of lunatics and idiots which arc
palaces compared with the buildings in
which the young men of the state pursue
their collegiate courses. lie further crit
icised the sectaran colleges rs asylums
for unsatisfactory clergymen, selected
on the principle that a dull preacher
mast necessarily be profound scholar.
The address is further described rs
largely IN th9, audacious vein; the main
proposition laid down and defended at
length being that provision for the high
or education of the people must be made
by the people at large through their
state and national legislatures by pro-
viding a first-class college or colleges,
fully equipped and:frce from sectarianism.
The special project for establishing a
national university 1t Washington under
the auspices of the general government
seems hardly to have put in an appear
ancc this year. The only allusiOn to it
VIC have yet seen was letter from Presi-
dent Eliot, of Cambridge, protesting
against the current Misrepresentation
o: his paper on that subject, and adding
that "he simply discussed tho expedi-
cncy Of establishing central university
At Washington under the e9ntrol of the
government, and supported by national
taxation, and maintained that it is not
cxpcdicnt 20 establish such IN institu-
ton. No one was an opponent Of his
who did not explicitly advocate the es-
Enlistment of such university.

Tho only real fair looking potatoes
wo have seen this season, were brought
to market this week by Mr.. Mellen-
camp, on Rod Rock. On inquiring how
he managed TO raise them, he said the
ground was plowed as deep - possible,
tho seed dropped in tho burrows and
covered with the plow, They were kept
clear Of weeds until the blossoms began
to appear, and then when q good shower
came, he hiIlcd them up as high as pos
siblc, while tho ground was moist, in
order to retain tho dampncss. This is
the third year he has iarmcd it kere, and

REECnER.S DEFENSE.

The papers last Friday morning con-
tanned the statement Of Mr. Moulton,
before the Committee, and also that Of
Mr.. Becehcr. Mr.. Frank Moulton there
in says:
"On mature reflection, aided by the
advice Of most valued friends, l have re-
considered that determination, and am
Obliged TO say TO you that l feel COM
pcllcd, from a sense Of duty to the par
ties, 10 my relation to their controversy,
and to myself, neither to make the state
ment nor 10 produce the documents"
lie further says: 1t is but just there
fore, and due to the parties that the
whole of these documents, portions Of
which only have been given, shall be
put into your hands.
The public which has been waiting so
impatiently for the facts from Mr.. Moul-
toms lips, will be disappointed, in the
suspicious manner in which he leaves
the question, and compels them to fall
back to Mr.. Beecher's own statement.
However truthful Mr.. Beechers state
ment may he, it would 10 an unsatisfac-
tory way of quieting the affair in the
minds Of tho people, when it has been
believed that Moulton had the key to the
aeerscy in the trouble. But the explicit
charges now made BY Mr.. Bcechcr will
compel both these gentlemen to resort
to the courts to defend themselves or
else for ever after bear the stigma of
fruitless effort to blackmail the pastor Of
Plymouth Church.
In Mr.. Beechcr's statement we6nd the
following denial: ain a statement ad-
dressed to the public on the Esd of July
last gave an explicit, comprehensive
and solemn denial TO tho charges mado
BY Theodore Tilten against me. That
denial now repeat and .reafiirm." Fol
lowing he gives full account Of his re-
lations with Mr.. TiIton from the time he
first became reporter of his sermons,
to the commencement of this trial, CIV
ing plain Straightforward statement OF
tho whole, which carries on its face far
wcishtier truths than the charges OF
Theodore Tilton. The great length OF
the setter prccludes its publication at this
time. There is enough however for
every reasonable man to decide that the
greatest william in the affair is Frank
Moulton. A most contemplate liar he
has proven himself to be, and pretended
friend to the man he was assisting to
pull down. A pretended keeper of the
secrets, which with all his delay and base
insinuations of the crimes of Mr.. Beech
or, has failed to prove single point in
the accusation, aud left the matter again
to the suspicion that there is still some
thing back yet untold. The decision will
be, in the minds Of the people, that
Frank Moulton has told all he could
honestly tell, before the committee, TO
convict Mr.. Beechcr of the crimes
charged against him.

WAR OF TINE RACES.

Tho series of minor Outragcs per-
potratcd upon one another in tho South
by the whites and blacks, have at last
eliminated in general collision at Aus
tin, Miss. This time the outrage was
p erpotrated by a physician of Aus
tin, who shot at an negro for an insult,
real or presumed, and missing his mark
killed a little negro child. TO save
himself from the mob, the doctor since
the shooting has been a voluntary in
mate of the Jail, until last Friday even
ing, when friends rescued him from his
imprisonment and carried him TO place
of safety. The negroes demanded his
return with threats which have grown
into attack upon tho place; for the Pur-
pose of reducing it TO ashes. White and
coIored men, animated by the bitter
feeling which pcrmeatcs the south and
gives rise to the possibility of a general
war of tho races, are ccntcrins at Aus
tin from the regions around, irrcpre<si-
bly, determined upon bioodshcd. Tho
situation is lamentable and alarming in
tho extreme, and is made moro so by
the fact that hatred is driving common
sense ont of the minds of both factions,
which alone, with the exception of force
Of arms, can establish peace between the
two.
Dispatches from the operator at
Helena report that negroes have been
passing there on tho Mississippi side all
day. This was on the llth. On the
evening of that day the steamer Waite
left with about 300 armod men and sup
plies, under command of Col. Morgan, of
Miss. In the fight of the previous night
at Austin, eight or ten negroes were
killed. Reinforcements are coming in to

MARSHAL Bazainc's ESraDc.

The MacMahon Government seems to
be decidedly unfortunate with its state
prisoners. The escape OF Henri Roche
fort from his New Caledonia prison has
been followed by that of the no less
distinguished captive who was confined
on the Island of Sainte Marguerite. In
both cases the flight presents the same
dramatic clements dark and stormy
night, devoted friends in a small boat,
and large vessels lying off to receive the
fugitives. But thought the sensation
which the news of Marshal Bazainc's
escape has created in Paris appears to
be quito rs intense as that which attend
cd Rocheiort's, we doubt whether tho
Versailles authorities willfcc so serious
ly annoyed by it. Indeed, We strongly
suspect that the victor of Metz must
have been something Of an elephant on
the hands OF the men Of tho Scptenatc.

testimony of his guilt, and the national

As far rs any offensc had bcenl proved,
the long suspense Of his fate was pun
ishmcnt enough. 1t is singular feature
of France justice that the theory that .
man is innocent until no Is proved the

only was the Marshal immured in q

and under stated conditions, but he was

OgIcsby on Tuesday last from Prcsi-
dent Grant, in reply 10 the request Of
the Lincoln monument association to
him to deliver the dedic.tory address at
the Inauguration Of the monument on
the 18th Of October next. lie declines
the honor, and at tho Same time express
cs high admiration for the character and
public services Of the martyr president.
lie also gives expression 10 his regrets
for his inability to deliver an address
that would be equal to the occasion.
Placing himself in such position would
he SO foreign. TO his usual wont that he
feels himself unequal to the task. lie
hopes that the association will select
some man to deliver the address who
will meet tho expectations Of the ma
ton, and who can do justice TO the mem
Dry and patriotic services of the great
man in whose honor the monument IL
erected. Ills official duties, he says, are
such that he cannot promise to be ut
any place At specified day 50 far away
from the national capital; therefore,
cannot positively promise to be pres
ent at the unvciling Of the statue, but
hopes to give himself that pleasure if it
he possible to do so. In conclusion, he
thanks tho association for the honor
which they have shown him in extend
ing to him the invitation.
