THE STATEgNIVERSITH.
Resignation of Chancellor Wad
dell.

EDS. CLARION: The University exer
cises closed last Thursday week. The
Chancellor resigned on Friday morning
lust after the ball was over The law chail
was suspended, we suppose, for the want
of patronage The board dispensed with
the services of three adjuncts. Instead
of putting Mr.. Fulton in the chair OF
Physic and Astronomy, as 1t was sup
posed the Chancellor desired, they put
him in charge of the props. Young
Prof Laughrldge was continued IN the
chair of Chemistry, one of the most I'M
portant in the University-this chan
requires man Of talent and large expe-
rience, if we mistake not. 1t is supposed
this was part of the chancellor's plan to
exalt another one of "his boys" to this
high place!
The board has made a beginning at re-
forms SO much needed and if they will
get rid of a few old fossils and an incom-
petent pretender or two, who for small
men have been like mill stones around
the neck of the concernthey will dc
we'll. No wonder it has "gone down.
We learn the financial department re-
ports a loss of about S12, 800 Of the annu-
al appropriation. Is it not likely that
with the power and advantages possessed
by Senator Warner more money could
have been realized out of $50, 600 in war
rants than the amount reported by him
Besides all this the deputy treasurer col
lects money off each student when he en-
tiers Why has this noble institution
gone down in the hands of one who is and
has been upheld rs the greatest educator
in the South? The board has given him
full latitude andpower. He had the ear of
the two wings of the radicals in the board
and being an intense rebel he had the ear
of the small conservative element there
too. No one could have desired better
chance TO build up than the one with SO
much power. We think the board was
immensely liberal for which most Of them
are entitled to great credit.
observer" and THE CLARION have
lately made some criticisms on the bad
management there, which were answered
by the chancellor through the press,
and if we mistake not some Of ''his boys
gave him the benefit Of their aid in de-
Tense from the rostrum last week.
Mr. Editor, you are charged with be-
ing an enemy 70 the University and ev-
cry one who does not approve It's man
agement likewise. Now, can this be so {?
Are you an enemy to our chief educa-
tional institution How can you or any
other enlightened man be? | think | un-
derstand you to be the warm friend Of
the University; you want it to go up,
not down, and please state distinctly
whether your criticisms are not confined
strictly to the unwise management pre-
vailing there. | have so understood you
all the time, or l should have discontin-

AMATEUR
REPLY.

An answer to this last interrogatory
can scarcely be needed. We are the
firm friends of the University, and be-
cause we were its friends, we took occa-
sion to point out what we believed to be
the errors Of its management, so that it
might avoid the rock upon which we
feared, but too truly, its fortunes would be
shivered. Besides, it was Public Institu-
tion-supported by public funds-and
in commenting upon its management
we but exercised a privilege which be-
longs to the press, and to the humblest
citizen of the land. We want to see
the University built up-restored to its
pristine usefulness and grandeur-but
the question how is it to be done, presents
a wider field Of discussion than we are
now prepared to enter. EDIToRs.

The Vicksburg Times intimates that
when Gov. Ames returns, he will reap
point Mr. Dennis as Chancellor, on the
ground that he ''has clearly as much
right to revoke Davis commission as the
latter has to revoke Ames" But Ames'
commission was void, for the reason that
no vacancy existed at the time it was
issued. Chancellor Christian can be dis
placed in two ways. The Senate may
refuse to confirm his nomination; or he
may be removed after confirmation under

Ttce5h.-That we are in favor of sub
stituting greenbacks for national currency.
and that the currency should be brought
to specie basis as speedily as compatible
with the safety and interest of the maiori-

The nominations were as follows:

Some seven hundred had been found. One man pick ed up on his farm all two horses could haul, for their feathers. Their heads were badly torn and their bills split into fragments. Many of them had the feathers of their backs crisped and burnt and their bodies bursted open.
