A National University.

Some of our newspapers are discussing
the propriety of the government founding a
national university at Washington. 1t is
said that if the army were cut down one-half
and the present expenses in transporta-
ton and quartermasters supplies saved that
we could endow a university equal to Ok
ford, Cambridge or the great schools of Ger
many. The question of establishing q
national university was considered as far
back as the time of John Quincy Adams.
That President did not approve Of it, for
constitutional reasons.
We do not know whether these reasons
still exist During the fifty years that have
intervened our old constitution has had
many wrench and twist. What might have
been impossible to an Adams would be en-
tirely feasible to Grant. Whether, even if
such a matter were considered, it would be
wise for the government to found a new uni
versity or to strengthen existing ones is a
problem. Already we have several flourish
ing colleges in America, and although none
of them can compare with the universities of
Europe it is too soon to expect this in q
young country. We believe in lessening the
number of our colleges instead Of add
ing to them. We should like to see a great
university in New England, and others in
the Middle States, the West, California, the
South. Cambridge, New Haven, Princeton,
Detroit, Williamsburg st. Louis, New Or
leans and San Francisco all have colleges of
varying excellence. If the government could
assist these institutions SO as to bring them
up to the standard of the great universities
of Europe it would be wise expenditure of
money. AS we understand the plan that is
now discussed, it is to found national
university at Washington on the plan of the
Naval Academy and West Point. That is to
say, the government shall endow the college
and the President and members of Con-
gress shall have right to nominate
students to its classes, as they now
have to nominate cadets to West Point
and Annapolis. The effect of this would be
to have students from every section of the
country. The national influences which
would be strengthened by this relation
would be profitable. Washington is well
suited for a great university The largest
library in the country is in the Capitol.
There are many museums and institutions of
art, science and learning. The sessions of
Congress, the society of the foreign Ministers
and the general tendency to make Washing
ton the winter capital would all add to the
value of university life. We would be glad
to see a university in Washington, national
in its character. To that extent we approve
the plans discussed by our contemporaries.
At the same time it is worthy of thought
whether it would be wise for the government
to take an active part in the founding of
such college, and especially whether more
harm than good would not come from the
creation of a university on the principles
governing Annapolis and West Point.

A Grave Danger.


The Sun confirms the appren tensions
expressed by the HERALD some time ago
that movement was on foot TO place the
telegraphic service Of the country in the
hands of a speculator. 'We learn" says
the Sun, ''that jay Gould is making an ex-
traordinary effort to get control of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in the annual
election which occurs early in October. To
do this it is not necessary for him to buy
a majority of the stock, a sufficient
mass of proxies will be quite as
effectual For this purpose he is employ
ing an ingenious novelty, believed to be of
his own invention A great proportion of
the company's shares are in the hands of
brokers, who have advanced money upon
them to spectators by whom they have
been purchased. For the transfer of such
shares Mr.. Gould, as we are informed, is now
paying a neat commission. The shares after
being transferred are at once handed back to
their holders, so that they are in no danger
Of being sold by the new ostensible owner,
and can be transferred back again upon the
books of the company after the election
This secures to Gould or his representative
the right to vote upon these shares, and,
should he succeed by this means in getting
command of the company and electing a
board of directors to suit himself, he will
thus gain the power of distributing, after the
old Erie fashion, that immense part of the
company's stock which is held by it as re-
serve"
The explanation which the San gives of
the way by which Mr.. Gould is to obtain the
control of this great national franchise is in
teresting as showing the danger which is
constantly threatening our telegraph sys-
TEN. Without entering into the question of
the wisdom of postal telegraph in this
country, it is impossible for us to permit the
telegraph to be made mere football for dar-
ing spectators. Jay Gould has shown what
he could do with the Erie Railroad. He
made that company infamous in the
eyes of all prudent money lenders by
his operations in its management and
brought SO much discredit upon the
American name abroad that we could well
have afforded to pay millions of dollars
to have it otherwise. When he was turned
out of the direction he made restitution" of
millions Of property, which, by this act
alone, he admitted he had unlawfully taken
from its treasury. Now to put such a
man in charge of our telegraphs is to give
him dangerous control over our business
and commerce, our private, political and
social life. The telegraph system is only
another phase of the postal system. 1t is
the improved post Office. The time must
come when we will have to consider whether
it is not necessary for the good of the people
that the government should control this
great machine. The surest way to bring
that time about is to allow it to fall into the
hands of rapacious and desperate gambler
like Jay Gould.

A MAN WHO DOES Nor LAUGH.-An Eng
lish traveller, Mr.. Hartshorne, gave the Brit
ish Association the other day an account of
the Weddas, wild tribe which lives in the
interior of Ceylon. These Weddas are about
five feet high, live on water and roast mon
keys, and are, he reports, incapable of laugh
ter. After trying every way to make their
chief laugh, and failing, he asked, in amaze
ment, whether they ever laughed. 'No," p"
replied the Wedda; "why should WEI What
is there to laugh at?" We wish Mr.. Harts-
horne had sent Wedda to the United
States just now. If he never laughed before
he would certainly laugh to see q lot Of silly
democrats in Ohio and Pennsylvania, with
Allen and Carey at their head, going about
swallowing their old democratic principles
and hugging rag baby. 1t is not q pleasant
spectacle, but it is sufficiently ridiculous to
make even a Wedda laugh

The Names OF Armies.

General Sherman is the best random speech
maker in the country. His studies in the
artillery may have cultivated natural fac
ulty for getting the range of things in next to
no time, but whether for that or some other
reason there is no other man called upon
from time to time to air his vocabulary before
miscellaneous audiences who so readily
falls into sympathy with the people about
him, or more infallibly grasps the central
thought of the occasion, or puts it more
clearly and vigorously in good words. His
speech at Utica is a new evidence of his felic-
ity in this respect, and its tribute to General
Thomas evidently reached every heart of
those who knew that stanch and typical
! soldier. General Sherman touched upon a
topic of some quaint interestr-the circum-
stance of the naming of armies from rivers
and said 'this has been the fashion for years
with different nations, and 1 will take occa-
sion here to say that 1 do not know the reason
why" In another part of his speech he said,
''War consists in accomplishing some direct
result" and he might have added that at
least eight times in ten this result is accom-
plished in the valley of some river, great or
small, or at point that is necessarily reached
by march up or down some watered valley.
Indeed the relation of armies to rivers in
war is constant, and is, of course, as familiar
to General Sherman as to other soldiers. So
simple q circumstance as the mere want,
twice day at least, Of an enormous guam
tity of water that could only be supplied
Ic r r
low the line ofa stream and camp on its banks
or near some tributary; but this might be
forced still more imperatively by the fact that
rivers are natural lines of highwav-the un-
obstructed routes of the primitive world
and war, that destroys other routes, always
brings humanity to its primitive needs in
this respect. These points may be seen
more clearly on the map of France than else
where, for there the geography gives unusual
Importance, in q military sense, to the rivers,
and in that country this mode of designating
armies was first, perhaps, systematically
adopted. In the wars of the French Revolu-
ton there were the armies of the Rhine. OF
the Moselle, of the Sambre and Meuse, and
so on. That is to say, armies were formed
to defend the country from enemies ap-
proaching by those valleys, or to invade for
eign territory in turn by those lines; and
the indication naturally was that the Army
of the Moselle was ''the army formed to
operate in the valley of the Moselle;" but
all that was shortened to the name ''Moselle
Army" for convenience. Subsequently an
army named from one river might cooperate
in operations on other rivers, as when
our Potomac army operated on the James
and even then, though the original signifi-
cance is lost, the name adheres because q
definite designation is always useful. There
is poetical spirit in every true soldier, and
to such a spirit there is an appeal and an
identity in such names that is superior to
what can be obtained by the numerical desig-
nations of First Army" Second Army"
&C., as employed in Germany.
