CONCLUSION.
We only deem 1t proper to refer once more to
the fact that the four solid columns published in
THE NATIONAL REPUBEIoAH yesterday morning
OF the names of those who would receive carried
with them the written authority Of the persons
interested. The accounts given this morning Of
the receptions are in each and every instance
made up from personal observation, the result Of
calls by corps Of reporters who were every
where present The patrons Of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN will appreciate the care, accuracy
and order observed in this whole matter.

Improvement in the character Of the school dur
ing the past year. This improvement Is mani
tested in better class Of teachers, the keeping Of
the school buildings in better condition, and neces-
sarIy. therefore in the better instruction OF the
pupils We send our children to school TO be ed
ueated and not to be he subjects Of missionary
efforts, hence our qualification at seeing Howard
University growing from very poor school into
an Institution where they can receive thorough
Under these circumstances it is not strange
that we regard with alarm any ill-.imed expert
ments in the management Of the university that
we are doubtless, in the presence Of such dan
ger. There Is q determined effort being made in
The board Of trustees TO place another man than
Prof Langston at the head Of the school.
why this change should be attempted in the
midst Of the school year, and st time when, as
place at which 70 educate youth, the university
is enjoying degree Of prosperity that 1t never
before knew, is question that the public has the
right ts ask, and the more especially should this
question be asked when the change is to cost
three thousand I'VE hundred dollars per year.
PROF. LangstOn gets fifteen hundred dollars per
year and It is said that it is proposed to pay the
new president nve thousand dOllars-a difference
Of three thousand i've hundred dollars per year.
Prof LangstOn's color is no qualification for
the place, and ii certainly is no disqualification
for the presldeney OF university nose patrons

some future board Of trustees Of the school
should debar eolOred students from fits privileges
which they have power TO do under its present
charter. But the present board at least does not
contemplate the exclusion Of c0lOred students
from Howard, nor will they assume the ridicu-
Ious attitude OF opposing man because he is
eolored for the presidency Of 9 school patronized
almost wholly by eOlOret people, and IN whose
interest, as everybody has supposed, it was es-
tablished. Why, then, we ask again, shall Prof.
Langston be put out, when the school as q place

THE FIJI ISLANDS.

THEIR INCORPORATION INTO THE BRIT
lisa EMPIRE COMPLETE.
A Herald correspondent, writing from Sidney,
New South Wales, announces the return Of Sir
Hercules Robinson and suite to that point, having
fully accomplished the mission upon which they
started. temporary arrangements have been
made to carry on the Government until the home
authorities make permanent appointments to the
various Offices, arranged on the same plan as the
Government of Bermuda and other colonies OF the
lowest class. Consul Layard is appointed scting
governor; Thurston, colonial secretary; Garrick,
chief maRistratc: All laws not in consonanee with
the statutes Of New South Wales are abolished

signed the deed of cesson with more avidity than
Cacoban himself, and afterwards to have told
the ex-king that 1t had been mis- object for
years, but that bad white men had made
trouble.

the cession was unconditional there appears to

THE IMPERIAL PRINCE GREATLY DISSATISFIED.
The new arrangements have not met the sp-
proval Of Cacoban's eldest son. He considers he
has been trieked out Of q throne, and he has de-
clined an invitation to accompany Gov. Robinson
on visit to Australia.
PRINCE TIMOTHY PLEASED.
Ratu Timoci, alias Prince Timothy, gladly
availed himself OF the opportunity declined by
bis eldest brother, and is now in Sydney awaiting
the arrival Of Cseo0an, who Is daily expected in
Her Majesty's ship Dido, en- route 70 Melbourne.
NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
This ship has recently had Q cruise through the
South seas in search Of the emipirate, Captain
Hayes, who successfully foiled the efforts OF the
United States steamer Narragansett to stop her
career by means Of double set Of ships papers.
After getting clear Of Captain Meade, he became
rather nervous that another Yankee man-oEWar
might overhaul him with the knowledge that sub
seauent to the date Of obtaining a sailing letter
for the American brig Leonora from the consul at
Shanghai he had her duly registered as the Eng
lIsh brig Sea Gull His latest exploits, which wore
chiefly confined to buying oil, Sc, from the IA
tives and paying for II with the foretopsAil were
done under the British flag. Late in September
he visited Strong's Island, lost his vessel on o
reef and was only thete Q few days when the
Dido called in search Of him. Inquiries were In
stituted respecting his mode Of trade, and Hayes,
fearing Interior proceedings, left the island that
night In q small boat alone. When the English
man-oEWar had obtained sufficient evidence to
warrant his arrest, Hayes had vanished, as he SO
often has before.
