The University Bill has passed both
Houses of the Legislature, and will
doubtless become law. In the discus
4 sion Of the Sill, Gen. Gary is reported to
have said:
It matters not to me who fayors this
bill, whether it be Governor Hampton or
Z Governor anybody else. I shall not fol-
low in any snch lend. I am q straight
ont Democrat, too, in this sense. have
been charged with being an opponent of
the Administration. ! throw back the
charge. lido reserve the right, and will
exercise it, of advocating that which /
think: is right, and condemning that
which / regard as wrong, matters not
whom it may hurt. I hare heard that it
was customary for a number of members
70 closet themselves with the Governor
and find out what he desired to be done,
thus violating precedents which had been
established Of these separate departments
of government determining for them
selves questions which might come re-
spectiyely before the General Assembly.
At present we want peace and harmo-
ny in the Democratic party, and such
attacks as these on the administration
can produce only dissention. Governor
Hampton has the unquestionable right
to hold and express opinions on the
University bill, or any other bill. TO
deprive him of this right would be to
make him whom the people have selec-
tod as their leader, not to follow blindly
but intelligently, mere cypher, and de-
prive the State of the counsel Of one
whose experience and sources Of infor-
nation should give to hin opinions weight
and consideration.

PEACE ESTABLISHED IN EUROPE.

The treaty of peace between Russia and
Turkey vas signed at San Stefano, on
on last Saturday, the anniversary of the
enfranchiseDaent OF the serfs of Russia.
The conditions of peace are, the payment
by Turkey of one Thousand four hundred
millions Of roublesa with forty millions of
pounds sterling in bonds added. Russia
will acquire by way Indemnity consid-
cradle territory in Armenia, including
Kars and Batoum. The Mahommedan
power in Europe is now completely over
thrown With NO. prospect that it will-eye
be re-established. It's not now probable
that the peace Of Europe will be further
disturbed. Austria yields to the ines-
table, and however much England may
growl and threaten, she is powerless
to resist the results which naturally fol-
low the defeat of the Turks and the de-
cided triumph of Russia. Peace may now
be regarded as established in Europe. :

A Wife's Sacrifice.

Capt. Kemp. an English officer in
India, relates the following painful
case OF self-immo!ation which occurred
in his own family: \ young Indian
woman lost her husband, and resolved,
without hesitation, TO bury herself alive
with the body. Both Captain and
Mrs. X ;, were shocked 10 hear OF her
determination. and represented to her
the dreadful character of the crirae she
was about to commit, and the utter inu-
tility of the sacrifice to the departed
spirit of her husband. But all the
arguments and entreaties which the
feelings of humanity could suggest were
urged in vain. She had been taught to
believe that, by voluntarily dying with
her husband. she would expedite his
transit 10 some unknown region of
bliss. and herself bear company with
him. Every attempt to persuade the
infatuated creature To live appeared
only TO cause her the more to exult in
her resolution to die. Captain Il. con-
tinued his humane exertions To the last
even while the awful ceremony was
proceeding but without the least
symptom of favorable impression be-
ing produced on her mind When the
pit was dug and the dead body of her
husband lowered into it she walked
round several times, repeating the for
mularies which the priest dictated to
her, and scattering about, as she went
along. sweet meats. parched rice. flower

liminary rites were finished she descend
