GIRARD COLLEGE.

Girard COLLEGE has been enlarged 50
there will be room for 800 scholars in
addition to the $50 fermerly accom-
modated. Children born in PI.iIa-
deIphia have had the preference IN
admission, and until now the college
has confined Its usefulness t. the State
of Pennsylvania. Fatherless child
rem from other States have been de-
MED admission, not because there
was any disposition to keep them
out, but simply on account of the
crampcd space aft ,rded by the build
ings, which were more than flied
with destitute boys living in Pennsyl-
vanla. We learn from ali Eastern ex-
change that the doors have been
thrown open To fatherless boys burn
in other States. The orphans who
are admitted to the college receive 40
liberal add thorough an education as
can be given in the time allotted.
The terms of the founders sill de-
clare positively that no minister Of
the gospel or missionary shall be al
lowed to enter the grounds even as
visitors. This fact has led to- the be-
lief that the moral training of the
scholars Is neglected, but this impress
sion is entirely erroneous. Grace Is
said at every meal, and all the boys
assemble each morning ami after
noon at the brief chapel servi e, at
which the Bible is read and prayers
are offered. On Sundays there are
two services, but they are entirely
free from sectarianism. A Gothic
chapel, built of white marble, will
soon be ready for use. This build
ing will seat 1000 persons, which
will be the number provided for when
the entire Enclosure OF forty acres Is
fully utilized.
The income of the Girard estate
To the purposes of college
and support amounts
to about 100000 year. About one
half IF this has been used annually
up To this time upon the college and
the remainder, derived chi, f1y from
coal mines, hes been expended in the
erection of banks, stores, offices,
dwellings, etc, upon the estate, from
" hich tho institution will in time de-
rive additional income.

THE TINES was the first Nevada
journal 10 fully endorse the present
administration and counsel entire
unity of the Republican party here
and everywhere. Some of our con-
temporaries at once fell into Iine, and
some wavered for time, but at this
date we know of but one Republican
paper in the State which persistently
opposes the President. There will
be an important election next year,
involving . seat 10 the United States
Senate and State and county officers.
A few votes may lose us the State,
and several of the counties are so
close that score ~ two of lukewarm
o. disaf .cted Republicans may defeat
the county tickets. The Importance
of the coming election should APP
peal 70 individual members of the
party to fall in rank and present an
unbroken file in the ensuing political
combat.

THE SENATE SITUATION.

A Washington special Thursday
night to the New York Tribune says
How far the Democratic bargain with
Paterson and Conover extends is not
positively known in Washington to-
night The general belief il that
both of them have agreed to act with
the Democrats, in not only Buffers
and Eustis' case, but to follow their
lead and oppose every motion that
will postpone the admission of these
two Democratic aspirants for seats.
Some of them declared their inten-
ton of voting for the admission Of
Kellogg, bet with Butler and Eustis
sworn in KeIlogg's chance of ever
taking his seat will not be very
good one. Surprising Conover and
Patterson to return to to their ailegi
ance to the Republican party, after
having accomplished the Object Of
their treachery and secured the adj
mission of Enstis and Butler, the
Senate would then be equally d.
vided between both political parties
with Sharon habitually absent, thus
giving to the Democrats one majority
on every party question. The mis-
chief of Patterson and Conover will
therefore be irreyocable. The Demo-
Gratis will have control of the Senate,
and they will undoubtedly be able to
organize the committees at the be-
ginning OF the next session, or at
least to prevent the Republicans
from doing so.

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. John P. Phair, of Windsor, Vermont.
was found guilty by circumstantial evidence.
of murder, and sentenced to be hung last Fri
day, charged with the murder of his paramount
Mrs. Freize. The murder was committed three
years ago. Phair protested his innocence,
and published statement of his wherea-
bouts at the time the murder was commit
ted. While reading the statement, Mr. NJ
D. Downing, Of Boston, jumped up and ex
claimed: ''My God they have the wrong
man. This man is innocent PIair, in the
statement, said he had gone to Providence
to get work, but failed and returned that day
Mr.. Downing remembered to have talked
with man in the smoking car on the day
mentioned, who gave precisely the same ex-
perience that Phair detailed. He was salts fled
that Phair's statement was true. There was
no time to lose. 1t was then II O'Clock, and
Phair was to be hung at 2 o'clock. Down.
ing was in Boston and the Governor of Yer
mont at the capitol. Telegraphic commun-
cation was opened, and after numerous imped-
lments the Governor was reached and respite
obtaind twenty-five minutes before the hour
for the execution. The stay of sentence is
until the 4th of May, and in the meantime
the new evidence will he siftcd. The Gov
ernor can only reprieve-the Legislature
alone can pardon, or commute sentence.
If Phair is saved, he may thank newspa.
der enterprise for it. Had not Mr.. Down
ing been reader of the daily papers, aud
the daily papers contained the current news
from every source, Phair would now be in
felOn's grave.

A Washington special to the World says:
j. Randolph Tucker, member elect from
Virginia, is at present in Washington. and
to-day. in conversation, presented some in
tercsting views on the political situation. In
brief, he declares that the Democrats in his
State do not give any special thanks to Hayes
for his Southern policy, for he is doing, Mr..
Tucker says, just what the Democratic par
ty has forced him to do Gle is carrying
out our policy. why" said he. ''toes ans
one suppose that the people would rest qui-
city ard submit to any other course of eX-
cutive action from man who has majority
of nearly half million votes against him.
He insists that IIayes's Southern policy, rs
it is called, is the Democratic platform made
last November, and the result of the utteran-
ces of the party in and out Of Congress for
the last ten years, and the country might
rest assured that the Democratic party had
no idea of allowing Hayes or any of his fol-
lowers to carry off the credit of the peace
ful solution of the Southern situation. Mr..
Tucker declared that Virginia was more con-
fident to-day in its faith OF the g ofous des-
tiny OF the Democratic party than ever, and
it was laughabe, he said, to read the reports
sent out by the Repub leans from here that
the Democratic party is being dis integrated
Referring to the extra session OF Congress,
Mr.. Tucker predicted that it would be Or
ganized in few days by the Democars.
He thought that the Virginia delegation
would probably support Randall for Speaker
and predicted that all the committees would
be appointed and the House proceed in earn
est withsgeneral business. With peace in the
South MIR. Tucker anticipates great prosperi-
ty in the next year, when he believes the
cotton crop alone will exceed that of 1860,
and that the rice and tobacco crops will be
arger than ever.

A New York Tragedy.

A mysterious explosion of hand granade
occurred in the store of John Jewett & Sons,
manufacturers of white lead and iinseed oils,
New York, on Thursday morning, the 9Th
inst, resulting in the death of George w.
Jexett and Orville D. Jewett, and the seri-
GUS wounding of Mr.. Dean, another men,
Der of the firm. 1t appears that Orville D.
Jewctt, succeeded his father as oae OF the
firm, and the estimated value of his invest
ment was $150,000. He was not regular in
his habits, and gave very little attenti ON to
business. The senior members of the firm
became dissatisfied, and it was finally deter
mined 10 purchase the inte rest of Orville at
5000, 900 cash. The papers were drawn up
and were to have been signed the morning
OF the tragedy, and the money paid over.
Geo.. W. levitt was sitting at his de SIX,
near where Orville Jcwitt was stand ing be-
fore the CRATE. Mr.. Dean was sitting some
distance off at his desk, busily engaged at
work. All at once an explosion took place,
the room was filled with smoke and SCOT,
and on examination, Geo. W. Jewett and
Orville Jewett were found to be in dying
condition and Mr.. Dean seriously injured.
An exploded hand-granade, Sharp's four
shooter, with all the barrels emptied, a Colts
six shooter, with one barrel emptied, and a
spring dirk knife, were discovered OH the
floor, near the dying parties. Subsequent
examination discovered five bullet holes in
the body Of Orville Jewett, his vest on fire.
and Colts pistol belt on his person. The
body Of Orville Jewett was lying near that
OF his uncle.
The theory of the tragedy is that Orville
Jewett had become morbid and even insane,
ard had determined to end his troubles and
the supposed cause of them in a short an !
terrible manner-that he came armed with
the hand-granade, the pistols and knife, and
before concluding the business transaction
that was to be contaminated that mornings.
determined to put his purpose into cxecu-
ton. Hence the awful tragedy.
Another theory is that the explosion of
the hssdd-granade, was an accident, and that
when Mr.. Dean discovered the result, he fred
pistol at Young Jewett, and put the bull
lets in his body. But this is discredited by
the pistol belt found on Orville Jewett, and
the fact that Mr.. Dean never carried fire
arms, and knew nothing about their use.
The first supposition is the probable one,
and the only solution OF the affair is that
Young Jewett had become insane from dis
sipation, and q predisposition to insanity in
herited from both sides OF his family, and in
that condition resolved upon the terrible
tragedy in which his own life was lost.

TIE New England Methodists.

LII the New England Methodist Confer
ference, now in session, Rev. DR.. Mallalieu,
few day ago, introduced resolutions, con-
demning the Presidents Southern policy,
and expressing the pious opinion that Wade
Hampton ought to have been swung on a
sour apple tree long ago. The Democratic
press jumped at the opportunity offered by
this Reverend dyspeptic, to inflict a severe
castigation upon the entire Conference, with
out awaiting for the action of that
body. Instead OF endorsing the resolution
of DR.. Mallalieu, the Conference on the sue
ceeding day reported and adopted the fol-
lowing, as substitute:
First. The warm and practical sympathy
Of this Conference for the oppressed OF our
land is history of too long standing and
too outspollen to need any reaffirmation by
us at the present time, and now that legal
lied slavery has been forever abolished in
this, our country, we feel equally DESTROYS
that they who, having been victims of that
oppression, were deprived OF their civil
rights and means Of intellectual and moral
culture, may have secured to them all the
rights and privileges that their changed re.
lations to the country, and their consequent
ly increased responsibility so imperatively
demand for them.
Second. That we are glad to recognize in
tLc inaugural address of Our present Chief
Magistrate, and in other words and acts of
his, clearly defined purpose on his part so
to administer the Government OF these Uni
ted States as to secure to all classes of our
citizens the full and free exercise of all their
rights and privileges, and we pledge to him,
in the execution of this purpose, our hearty
sympathy and support, and we will earnest
ly pray that God will give him and mis- advi-
sors the wisdom to guide them in their i'm
portant and difficult work, and we sincerely
hope that our long disturbed country may
again enjoy ali era OF good feeling, peace
and prosperity.
The adoption Of the substitute report was
received with applause.
