Of Trustees has ample power and means
necessary to the fulfillment of the object
for which the Institution was established
But we find that some OF them have
never visited the University, some have
NOT been there within the last two years
and those who have been there, have
been unable to secure the confidence Of
the patrons of the school by their man
aoement. Although we have examined
the President and several Of the Trus.
tees. the Treasurer alone could give anv
account of the finances of the University
The Treasurers books show that he
received, during the year 1874, sixty.

Your committee found one account in

Your committee regret that their

preparation prevented that thorough

Your committee would respectfully
commend complete reorganization of
management of the University.

civil Service appointment

Inc following resolution passed the L
). Senate on the goth:
That in all cases under the civil cor
vice examinations for positions under the
government, when a disabled limited
States soldier, his wife, or the widow of .
deceased soldier dying of wounds or dis
eases contracted in the line Of DUTY ~
such soldier, or his orphan child. shall
pass such examination at the standard
fixed by the said rules, such persons shall
nave precedence for appointment to any
existing vacancy, anything in the rules
OF ell civil service to the contrary not
withstanding
Senator Alcorn spoke and voted against
this resolution for the reason that apnoint-
ments in the government belonged ex-
clusIveiy to the executive and admins
tratlve departments, and that they should |
be left to perform the duty without sug-
geStIon from Congress. But he based
his opposition upon still higher ground.
which is explained in the following ex-
tract from his remarks
But, sir, there is another view of this
,ase: IhIs resolution practically excludes
he Southern States from any participa-
i ION In the offices of this government.
'ut' SIR craftsmanship demands that all a
he people of this nation shall be recog- d
lzed; that none shall be by law excluded: n
nd however contemptuously Senators 70
!ay treat suggestions, l say that the &C
3heSt duties OF craftsmanship demand al
lat the southern people, whoparticipated tn
the rebellion, but who stand today Isl
ady to 60 forward under the constitn-
~ under the laws, and under the de Re
ands of that patriotic duty which thew M
e 10 the Government, should be recog- am
ed and that they should be permitted By
snare IN the offices of the nation. Up pa,
TINS time they have been almost totally civ
luded, and the effects of that excJu-
are to-day apparent in the land. on =

Not satisfied with encouraging the in
PRODUCTION of manufactures by every
means, the principal owners OF West
Charleston are Offering even greater in-
ducements to private purchasers. Well
drained and level lots in the immediate
vicinity of the Iron works, are sold for
Sl75, on SEVEN YEARS rIME that is, in
order to purchase lot which in few
years will be worth from $500 to 81 600,
one has to make payments at the rate OF
seven cents day. The title is abso-
lutely perfect. These prices and terms
are pei haps the most liberal ever offered
in any town, to say nothing of rapidly
growing place sucf as West Charleston,
The company are selling houses and
lots to parties, guaranteeing to them
steady work, and applying portion Of
each weeks wages to pay for them, SO
that one may get steady work at good
prices, a house and lot, and enough cash
to keep him while paying for them.
With its surrounding wealth of coal,
iron, lumber and salt, and the impetu:
given to manufactures by its citizens,
there is no Western town with brighter
prospects than Charleston, and but
Short time must elapse before it takes
the first rank among the manufacturing
cities in West Virginia. To persons
who are looking around for growing
town in which to locate, it offers great
inducements.

Concert OF the Congregational Sun
day School.

The Congregational Sunday School
held its Quarterly Concert Sunday
evening, 2Sth ult. Notwithstanding
the rain and darkness there was quite
a full house, and there were marks
of great interest in the exercises. The
object of the concert is to profit as
best way to please. The subject was
the Christian virtues, represented
by the building of a temple. The
plan was by the Superintendent o.
w. Hale, and drawings by Mr.. Ruger,
a section for each class. Christ the
foundation, with the fundamental
virtues of knowledge, faith, love,
obedience, and prayerfulness formed
the first section, and was placed by
the Bible class, each virtue was illus
trated or enforced by the recitation
of Scripture verses, while songs and
scraps ofpoetry interspersed afforded
a pleasing variety. Over twenty ex-
cellencies of character were wrought
into the structure, as pillars and
polished building stones, the whole
surmounted with the dome Hope,
and the sacred cross, while above was
hung the 'crown Of lie" for those
whose endure to the end.
Rev. Mr.. Mexican, of Virginia
made neat speech, and the Pastor
summed up the interest Of the exer-
ciSeS Of the evening.
"If any man build upon this
foundation, gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble, every
mans work shall be made manifest.
