CHARLOTTESVILLE, June 26, 1876.
The exercises of commencement began at
the University last night by the sermon be-
fore the Young Mems Christian ASSOCIATION
bv Or. Hoge, OF Richmond. NotWlth-
standing the intense heat, very large iu-
diencr was in attendance. The distinguish
c6 divine took his text from Matthew
xiii, s. and for one hour and half kept
his audience interested. The address was
logical. Astounding in line illustrations, pol
ished, and in many points striking, yet
lust criticism would declare that 1t failed TO
meet the expectations Of those who had
heard OF the great reputation OF the speaker.
To-day commences the rush OF Nehlcles,
the choking dust. the excitement OF the
Young people, and the general uncom1ort-
ablcncss which always attends these occa.
sions. 1t is thought that the attendance OF
visitors will be small. QU1P.
THE SPEAKERsHIP--A SHARP TRICK ON
SUNSET COX.-T'he House played L scurvy
trick on Mr.. S. 5. Cox saturday When 1t
adopted the resolution declaring Nlr. Saylcr
sneaker pro tenn. OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives. Mr. Cox, who is 4 delegate to
St. Louis, gave notice on Friday OF his in
tentiou TO leave. The Democratic majority
intended to place Mr. Holman in the chair
temporarily, and thus they hoped to get rld
Of the great director for the time being.
Mr.. Holman, however, had IN old score to
pick with Cox, and he declined the proflered
honor, and requested Clerk Adams to show
him the resolution which had been drawn
I'D. When it was handed TO him he struck
out his own name, put in that Of Mr.. Say
Ter, and drew his pen through the lines,
which made the latter Speaker only during
the absence OF the Speaker pro tenn.
Mr.. Randall got wind OF Holman's inten-
ton. and tried TO adjourn without an cleo
ton, but was defeated, and when Holman
offered his resolution they did not dare to
make an issue on il, for it would have split
the party. In fact, had question been
raised a resolution would have been offered
from the Republican side declaring General
Banks the Speaker pro tenn. The.case then
stands according TO the terms OF the reso-
lution) that M. Sayler is the Speaker during
the absence of DIR. Kerr, and unless he
chooses to vacate by resignation Mr.. Cox
will find himself in the vocative when ne
returns from St. Louis Washington cor
