The south, indeed, desires and deserves a
great university, but not a Methodistic school
which shall be the butt of the worlds con-
tempt. In the views which have expressed
and the positions l have taken almost a una
nImous response comes back to me like an
echo. That pestiterous pamphlet is getting
scattered from Tennessee to Texas and from
Missouri to Carolina; and a whitening una
nimity of reproduction resounds from Mem
phis to Knoxville and from New York to
Pensacola against that narrow conception
which attempts to guide the Interpretation of
nature along the ruts of the sixteenth CEN
tury. Dead ecclesiasticism will be remem-
bered only by the wound of curses which the
world Is heapIng on its putrescent carcass.

horrence of that etfete and malodorous and
meddlesome superstition which stamps like a
Turk our free thought and free conviction In

respect, as | always have, for the men-the
earnest, conscientious and noble men-who
have labored and are laboring, either as
trustees or professors, to create a university

them the use of language hostile to their con-
ceptiOa of a university. But they cannot stifle
my convictions nor silence my tongue. As to
the sagacious president of the board and the
accomplished chancellor of the university,
believe they deserve better fate than to be
involved in this condemnation. 1t gives me
real pain to think that they have been cowed
by barbaric shout. As to the professors,
know that this howl of heresy is painful dis
cord to their ears. 1t has been intimated in
several public prints, and almost directly
charged in numerous letters received, that
the action of the board was prompted 10y a
sectional motive. | wish emphatically TO

Carved thro' the forest deep;

Pray that the dark be riven-

The Gentlemaniy Turk.

OF late good deal Of nonsense has been
talked about the gentlemanliness of the Turks,
and as much nonsense has been brought for
ward in reply. Whether the Turks ara or ara
not gentlemen has no kind of connection With
the settlement of the Eastern question. At the
same time, the fact that the Turks impale and
fay and roast and stew their euemies-if it bs
fact-has nothing to do with the question
whether they are or are not gentlemen. 1t is
worth noticing, too, as proof Of the way In
which the conception of gentlemanliness is
slowly changing, that the Turks are not gentle
men from the old point of view. The mother of
Candide, who was so unreasonably particular
about quarterings that she refused to marry the
father of that hero because he had but 10 or so,
would not have called the Turks gentlemen
There may be Bulgarian notables who have
preserved their coats stainless, and who have
not lost account of their descent. On the
mothers side the rich Turk is lost in painful
confusion, yet he would be marked "h. b." in
any calendar that took account of human thor
oughbreds. In spite of this little blot on his
escutcheon the Turk answers very we'll to the
current idea of gentleman. He is brave, he
detests trade, he is indifferent to comfort or
luxury, he can be temperate and even abstemi-
Gus, he has repose of manner, he does not lose
his temper with things inevitable, nor rail in
calm presence of actual facts. Gen. di Cesno-
la, who was lately Consul in Cyprus, has many
illustrations of the gentlemsnly Turkish char
acter in his interesting account of Cypran re-
searches. A Turkish Governor of the old
school arrived on one occasion just too late to
prevent the General from removing a sar-
cophagus which he had discovered. Finding
that the time to interfere was passed, the old
Turk did not fly into a.passion, as a European
might have done, but apologized for the late
ness of his visit, smoked the friendly cigarette,
and retired with many compliments, but with
out single alluson to the sarcophagus. This
calm sort of resignation, this superiority to an
noyances, is certainly one Of the best sides of
the gentlemanly character. 1t is the trait of a
dominant race which cultivates a lofty disra-
gard of petty affairs, and perhaps it is aided by
the fatalsm of Islam. Even after stripping
the gentlemanly character Of its moral and
ideal attributes, we find that this naughty su-
periority does not disappear. Most aristocra-
cies come of conquering races, or are descend
ed, if we trace them far enoug h back, from the
ancient clans, or gentes, and these again lose
themselves in the mists of prehistoric times

IT appears that those fathers of ours were
responsible for the apparent regularity in
the Treasury statements. Senator Boutwell,
says, in reply to the absurd report, that he
had forced balance on the Treasury books,
that after thorough examination of the
books Of the department from the foundation
of the government there was found to be a
discrepancy in the loan account, dating from
the days OF Hamilton's Secretaryship and
augmented subsequently. 1t arose in the
first place from the fact that when the gov
ernment assumed certain obligations of the
States Hamilton made no entry of them; but
subsequently, when they came to be paid, a
charge was made. This apparent discrep-
ancy was augmented from time to time by
the difference between what the Treasury re-
ceived for bonds sold and what it had expended
in liquidating them when they became DUE
The whole amount of the discrepancy was
about $166, 100000, and when it was traced
by him and the facts were discovered he
directed Register John Allison, in the forth
coming statement of the public debt, to make
such changes from previous reports as would
show the true state of the Treasury loan
account, instead of false one, but there was
no alteration of the books of the department.

Labor's Loss by Silver.

Governor Straw, of New Hampshire, has
written letter describing what he regards as
the certain effect of remonetizing silver upon
the interests of operatives in the manufactur-
ing establishments of New England. He re-
fers to the situation in several of the largest
mills in his State. and speaks of one he is con-
nected with where more than 100000 are paid
monthly to 5000 persona The letter closes as
follows:
In making our monthly payment we require
the use OF nearly 50 800 for making the change
for fractional parts of the dollar. This habit of
using silver has prevailed here for months since
we have bsen able to obtain it from the mint,
and new our traders are constantly wishing to
dispose of it for paper currency, that being the
more available for making their payments In
fact silver, SO far as its use a, currency is con-
cerned, in this neighborhood has already be-
come drug, and if its use for making paw
ments continues, or increases, it will very short
ly be disposed of at discount in exchange for
good paper money, without regard to its legal
value as silver coinage.
Our manufacturers, as o whole must be con-
sidered as governed by the ordinary motives
that govern humanity the world over. Their
prosperity, and perhaps existence, depends
upon the profits that will accrue to them from
their business; and should silver money be-
come legal tender and be put into circulation
in sufficientquantities to be secured at dis
count in the market it will always be found and
used by those who have large number of small
debts to pay often and at regular intervals.
Herein consists the damage to the laboripg
classes in the passage of the proposed Silver
bill. The money which they are to receive is
TO be paid often and in comparatively small
sums Silver, from the nature of the coinage,
is a convenient and ready money in which to
make them the payments due to them, while
to use it for the larger amounts required in the
general business of the country, it is an incon-
venient and cumbersome coinage, so that
almost OF necessity in that part OF our
country where labor is largely employed and
paid, and where the silver coinage is most like
ly to be used, there is nothing that can MAIN
tain the silver coins at higher value when
wanted in large sums than that of another
equal weight of silver bullion in the market
The proposed coinage of "the dollar of our
fathers" would give US coins worth about 10 per
cent less than our present egal-tender notes.
and see no other result likely to occur from
the passage of the Silver bill than the working
population must expect to be paid in that coin
age and thereby suffer loss of 10 per cent. of
their regular earnings poor prospect GER
tainly, for the citizens of New Hampshire aud
most of the other States of the Union where
they desire their population to be regularly
employed.

Maine and Massachusetts,

The Massachusetts House of Representatives
being absurd enough to pass vote of thanks
to the Senators Hoar aud Dawes for defending
the historical reputation of that State against
the attack of Mr.. Blaine, the Massachusetts
Senate had the good sense to non-concur, and
to leave the matter where it belongs, to the
tribunal of history. The responses of Messrs.
Hoar and Dawes were feeble, and did not touch
the facts of the case at all. Wherefore, a lead
ing newspaper in Boston desires to know
why they did not hold their tongues? 1t
certainly seems to US that there was no
occasion for debate. In presenting the
statue from Maine to the Capitol, Mr. Blaine
made historical speech, and gave his view of
the political record of the first Governor of
that State. There was no occasion for reply ;
but # any was to be offered, it should have
been sonet thing mora than a rhetorical eulo-
GUM or a cheap taunt.
Something more, too, than the passionate
and undignitied sqabs of the Boston newspa-
pers. What kind of way is it in which to
dispose of an historical dispute, to say that the
gentleman upon the other side is angry with
Massachusetts,, because her delegates did not
vote for his nomination at Cincinnati. Ii the
people of Maine and Massachusetts, love each
other, is it not attributiDg great deal of re-
markable ability to Mr.. B aine to say that he
mics forever? Where is the argument in talk
ing about "Bombastes Blaine?" Hard names
do not kill anybody. H5 is not the first man
who has said that the attitude Of Massachu-
setts in the war of 1872 was thoroughly un-
patriotic, if not reasonable" John Quincy
Adams, who was good deal of Massachu-
setts man, was of the same mind, not to men,
ton many other citizsns of the State who en-
tertained and did loudly express that opinion
We do not say that they were right or wrong,
but the course of the Massachusetts Federal
lists is matter of record, and there can be no
rational dispute about what it really was "Fhe
remains of the late Daniel WebsIer," says a
leading Boston newspaper, must have
squlrmed on Tuesday," and at the same time
We are told that Mr.. Blaine is not native Of
Maine, so that his interest in her early history
must be an affectation. Well, neither, for that
matter, was Mr.. Webster a native of Massa-
chusetts. Probably if he had been in the SEN
ate on Tuesday, he would either have kept si-
lence or he would have said something to the
purpose.
