The news az the death OF Colonel John
Forsyth, for many years editor Of the Mobile
Regisfsr, WHICH 10 announced In o dispatch from
Mobile, was not unexpected, rs his health has
failed within the last three years, and his friends

THE Hon B. +. WADE rushes into print
again to indorse tho views he advanced in
the PAINTER letter. His letter is character
is,ic, and he uses plain, blunt language 10
speaking of Mr.. WARD LANoS. 1t Is now
the latters turn to come TO the front, and
as he Is also vigorous writer We may
look out for pretty vigorous epistolary
warfare. But with all Of WADE's blunt
ness we don't believe he will carry the
country with him. The day Of hate Il
rapidly passing away. What We want now
is peace and reconciliation.

The que.t IN OF to have O. Let 70 have vale
dictorians che graduating class CT Ctr Els
trict colleges is again agitating the seniors OF
~. One argument against the Office OF vale
dictorian is that It often gives rss to petty
jealoQsies and bad feeling among classmates,
and creatsss subject upon which the partially
Of the college is too ortsp lsrished. This ap-
pears to be good reason for abSiisL!nS the
office; yet It seems to US that every gradual
ing class should be Identified IN some way BE-
fore the public st It's formal commencement.
Particularly Is this true With respect to our
Law colleges. Generally some Judicial old
fossil who has long sisce abjured practice fOF
Theory, comes forward upon the occasion Of
law college commandments, as the orator Of
the evening. This does very well, but Il
should not deny the right of the class to put
forward its representative man as the yAledio-
torian OF the evening. In this way the public
would realize that the class are not mere
figure heads, and the credit Of q successful
yaledictory would be the credit Of the elssi
and pride to the university. 1t is to b hoped
that the old custom will prevail again, and
that graduates will rise superior to petty diff
ferences, act Iks men, and bestoE the honor
upon the fittest person.

On Saturday S. s. Cox will reach New
York from IN extended tour through the
South. Private information received from
him bears evidence that he is much graft
fed with his journey, and believes that the
southern people are at last on the road 10
permanent peace and prosperity. He also
has the impression that they would like to
see Mr.. S. 8. Cox in the Speakers chair
during the extra session Of Congress. 1t
is wonderful how ambition will excite the
Imagination.
