PRESIDENT ANGEL. of the University
of Michigan. has issued circular an.
nouncing some proposed changes i'm the
Literary department. The re sons given:
for making the changes are: A desire
that the University shall. more complete
ly fulfill its functions rs an integral part
of orr state system of public instruction
and to bring its work and that of the
high schools into complete connection
and coordination. with this i'm view the
University will offer its aid to all whom
high schools have prepared to make their
residence in the Institution creditable to
the University and useful to themseles. A
belief that the proposed changes will
furnish the student great stimulus to
make as rapid progress and as large at
tainments rs he can, instead of content
ing himself with doing the average work
of men o! his class. 1t will relieve the
more careful scholar from the necessity
of regulating his PROCESS by that of
cidSciudtcS WlOHl TIC HlSuJ tiSlly OUT
strip. 1t is proposed, therefore, to add
to the courses already established one
new course, which shall be the natural
sequel OF the so-called English course OF
our his IN schools. To admit to the Uni
versity any person of sufficient age, who
gives satisfactory evidence that his resi-
dence there can be made conducive to his
good, and that he is fitted to do his work
in manner not discreditablr to the Uni.
versity. A certain amount of work to be
done rather than fixed time in which
certain work shall be done will be named
as the condition of graduation. The COM
pletion of certain number of studies
will be required tor attaining degree.
The gifted and dilligent scholar, it is ex-
pected, may complete the requisite mum.
Der of studies in shorter time than the
less gifted or the less diligent student. or
he may enrich and broaden his culture
by completing more studies than are need
ed for graduation. A little more than
one-half of all the studies required for
Bachelors degree will be prescribed, the
remainder will be elective.

CONCLUDED from second page. J

ICODcIuQ6O from SecOnQ page,
Eeliciana parishes were thrown out we're
essentially false. His own protest he con-
siders spurious, because it was made under
undue pressure; the facts which be was
willing to swear TO were stretched to fit
the acquisitions of the law providing for
the interference of the Returning Board,
and fiDally new matter was injected into
the document and a forged jurat was af-
fixed TO it. Though Anderson appears to
be an unprincipled rascal, his story goes to
show the moral basis Of the Republican
case IN Louisiana; but the line of inyesti-
cation laid down for the committee makes
the agency Of Secretary Sherman 10 shap-
ing Anderson's conduct tie subject for
discussion Did he plot to secure false
protest? 1t is admitted that he urged him
to stand firm in his waveTiDg purpose to
make protest, and 1t may as well be ad-
mltted that he promised him rewards it be
should stand firm. The great point is
whether he put his promises into writing,
the idea being that a written contract to
secure certain action passes out OF the
sphere of exhortation to duty and suggests
fraudulent purchase Of services in excess
of duty. Ii Secretary Sherman wrote the
letter which, it is said, he wrote to Weber
and Anderson, it would go far to
prove conspiracy to deiraud the PEG
pie Of Louisiana OF their vote.
Nobody belives the story that
Mrs. jerks wrote the letter, Ander
sons oath that he wrote it dos not
settle the matter, and the testimony of
Weber's brother. though apparently hon
est, IS not at all conclusive. Sherman
qualified denials leave the business still
more perpexed. If We understand all the
testimony in regard to Anderson adven-
lures in Washington after the Inaugural
ton Of President Hayes and his intrigues
with Stanley Matthews, it is designed to
| show the truth of his own sworn charge by
showing that the republican leaders con-
sldered him worthy OF reward for disre-
putabe service done the party. The fact,
| incidentally revealed, that one of the cleo
tora certificates sent from Louisiana and
submitted to the electoral commission was
| informal and the other two fraudulent. is
important as proving the ineffable rascality
of the Louisiana republican leaders; but
| the task set for the committee of estab-
| fishing the guilty partnership of the re-
| publican leaders in the other states in the
frauds perpetrated in that state is as yet
only begun. Mr.. Butler has thus far
worked 10 harmony with his democratic
associates. tut it is plain that his object
is to prove a guilty connection between the
president and his friends and the southern
democrats. aud in time there must be q
breach between him and all of his col
leagues, as he will maintain that there was
a conspiracy between the administration
and the south to defraud the carpet bag
| gers out OF the state governments. He
aims to establish the consistency of the
party by asserting the integrity of the
presidents election without surrendering
the claims of Packard aud Chamberlain
