This has been a week OF considerable
interest at the Universally. The exam.
inations have been in progress, which
kept alive the attention OF the students,
and will continue until the evening Of
the 18th. But what was far more inter.
esting, both to students and the citizens
Of Morgantown, was, on the evening Of
the 18th, a lecture, the third Of series
10 be delivered at the University by a
number Of the prominent men OF the
State, by Charles Davis, Of Harpers
Ferry, He Ia still a young mana true
son Of the Emerald Isle. He overaows
with wit and humorous anecdotes. His
subject was Poetry the true reflex Of an
age, as distinguished from History
proper" His object was 10 prove that
the historian, being often prejudiced
from political opinions, and in
many ways biased in his iudg.
ments, is often partial, one.sided
and false in his views. But that the
poet, following the true impulses Of his
poetic nature and having imbibed the
spirit of his age, unconsciously porlrays
ia true character and manners. Tie
lecturers lively and often humorous
manner Of delivery, and his occasionally
dramatic action and gesture, pleased and
won the attention Of the large audience
present, which his enthusiastic presenta.

arguments, illu.trAted by brief and APP

they did not wholly convince the mind OF

higher interest in the subject Of poetry,
and a deeper appreciation Of lis real

GEN. GRANTS PoSITIoN-The presi-
dent has coNversed very freely in regard
to the Electoral bill lie expresses him
self earnestly in favor of its passage.
There need Ne no expectation if the meas
ure is agreed to by both houses that he
will refuse to sign it. lie said Sunday
that he considered it patriotic, Statesman
like and equitable proposition for the nd
iustment of the difficulties, and that no
one would welcome pcaeeable solution
of the Presidential question more than he.
He said that he had noticed the opposition
to the bill among extreme partisans on
both sides, but it did not appear to him ia
be of such character or to be sufficiently
organized us TO secure its defeat. He
thinks that the business interests of the
country would give such support to the
proposition and would so speedily make
that support felt from all sections Of the
land that it would be impossible even fol
those who now declare their hostility tc
the scheme to vote against it. He said
that il he had an opportunity he should
sign it willingly, cheerfully and heartily.
Speaking of the election in the three dis
puted states, Gen. Grant said to gentle
man who called quite recently that as to
South Carolina and Florida he did not be-
ieve that any flir-minded man could now
properly deny that both of them went for
Hayes. AS to Louisiana, he spoke with a
much less degree of certainty.

THE MASSACHUSETTS SENAToRsHIP.-
The Republicans of the Bay State have
elected one of their very best men to the
United States Senatorship. Six years ago
Henry Wilson was elected Senator; four
years ago on his resgning the place, as he
was to be vice president, George S. Bout
well was elected 10 finish the term. Mr..
Boutwell, was candidate for reelection,
but the man who was elected last Friday
was Mr.. George II. Hoar, for many years
the representative from the Worcester dis
trict. The ballot taken Friday was the
seventh and Mr.. Hoar had been gaining
steadily. The Boutwell, men broke for
Gov. Rice but was too late, as many went
over to Mr. Hoar When those who had
voted for Rice found it was useless they
changed back to Boutwell, Mr. Hoar had
146 votes. Abbott, democrat, 81, and Bout
well AT, with some 20 scattering.
The new senator is brother of Judge
E. lockwood Hoar; was born in 1926
graduated at Harvard in 1916, and has
praetced lawin Worcester for many years.
He is pure and able man and is most
honorable selection for the high position
to which he has been chosen.

stand in the way of just, equal and
peaceful measure for extricating the ques-
ton from the embarrassments that at pres
ent surround it.
In conclusion we respectfully beg leave
to impress upon Congress the necessity of
speedy determination upon this subject.
1t directly and powerfully tends to unset
tie and paralyze business. to weaken pub
lie and private credit, and to create appre-
tensions in the minds of people that dis
turb the peaceful tenor of their ways and
happiness. 1t does far more. 1t tends to
bring republican institutions into discredit,
and to create doubts of the success of our
form of government and the perpetuity of
the republic. All considerations of inter-
est, of patriotism, and of justice unite in
demanding of the law-making power n
measure that will bring peace and pros
perity to the country, and show that our
republican institutions are equal to any
emergency. And in this connection we
cannot refrain from an expression of our
satisfaction that your committee, compos-
ed of equal numbers of opposing parties,
have fortunately been able to do, what has
been attempted in vain observation-disclosures
unanimously to agree upon a plan consid-
cred by them all TO be Just, wise and eff
cient. We accordingly recommend the
proposed act to the patriotic and just judg-
ment of Congress
