The West Virginia University.
Eliior Intelligencer:


Some days ago, during the Christmas
vacation, it was stated by the Wheeling
Erening Standard that there were iust
.hirty-eight students at the West Virgin
ia University. Some remarks were added,
intended for wit, at the expense Of the
University. From the whole spirit and
style OF the article, one would naturally
suppose il to he the production Of a
malignant and nnscrupulous partisan,
were 1t not proiessedly editorial.
But whether really editorial or not, il
may fare with the Standard as often in
similar cases, that wit manulact ured
ont Of false-hood will do more harm, in
the explosion, to the party behind the
the trigger OF the blunderbnss, than 10
any one else. The rule "false in one,
false in all, is by no means obsolete; and
will require any statement made by the
Standard on subjects involving party
feeling, whether in state or church, to be
confirmed from some other quarter be.
fore it can be safely believed. During the
Christmas vacation, when the article in
the Standard, editorial or otherwise, ap.
peared, there were no students in attend.
ance at the University. The number
thirty-eight ia evidently put down reck-
lessly by somebody, without regard to
truth, and for sinister purpose.
The evident meaning is that thirty
eight was the whole number in all de.
partments. Shortly before the end Of the
preceding term, the number handed in by
the rOll.keepers was about sixty, was ex-
aCtly tiity.nine, and 40 continued till the
vacation began. This number is small
enough without Misrepresentation. The
number has been gradually decreasing
for more than five years past, as shown
by the catalogues. This decrease has
been caused, in great measure, by the
hard times as in other similar institutions
all over the country. But in the case OF
the West Virginia University,' other
causes have also been at work, unhappy
political and ecclesiastical complication
and animosities. Now unless these diff
culties can be removed, unless all parties
in State and church will rally around
and sustain their own State University,
unless articles intended 10 ridicule and
diSparage the University, sometimes at
the expense Of truth, as we have Just
seen, shall cease in the public.press OF the
State and articles Of an opposite character
shall take their place, the election OF a
President, now soon to be effected, and
so insisted on by the Standard IA cure
for all the Univesity's ills, in the nature
OF the case, cannot OF itself secure the
universityaprOsperity.

Oicourse the answer to the complaint

them up. This is no answer at all. Nine
persons out Of len have no time to spend
in that way, and they could not get salts.
factory information in such way even II
they had. It is far cheaper and more
satisfactory 10 everybody to get it in
detail once a year in the annual state
ment of the city'S receipts and expendi-
lures.
As showing how difficult it is to get ac-
curate information in regard to matter
SO seemingly accessible as the city indebt.
edness, We may refer to the fact that the
Mayor, in the ELECTION Notice" which
we publish over his signature this morn
ing, puts this Indebtedness at S552,O0O,
whereas a statement made only within
the last few days by an expert in the city's
finances puts it several thousand higher.
This shows that there is necessity for
reform in the manner Of keeping the city
books. We understand that the entire
debt Of the city docs not appear on
the Clerks hooks, and that the items
have to be gathered up in piece meal
when anything like an accurate state
ment is wanted, This is not as it should
be, and we trust that the true debt will
be reliably ascertained at an early day,
and then put on the public records, and
that hereafter it will come into the
annual statement in an ineligible shape
along with such other details as will
serve to explain our fiscal affairs to the
comprehension and satisfaction of the
tax paying public.
