College Ball.

For the VIRGINIAN.
GEORGETOWN, D. c., Dec. 9th, 1879.
Messrs. Editors: AS college and its sur
roundings have so often met with CALLING
censure from editorial sanctums, we always
feel dubious in sending word to the outside
world. Editors have detained against the
utility of college education in general, and
rioting in the freedom and range of their
mighty intellects have demolished with one
stroke of the pen, systems which have be-
come matured by ages OF experience. I do
not propose to Investigate, just now, the
rights and wrongs of those theories, that
threaten not so much to annihilate us at one
crushing blow, as to weary US out with
MISUNDERSTANDING, but simply to give
you few holiday notes, and beg that you
pour not out on my devoted head, the seeth-
ing, scalding walls of editorial wrath.
Yesterday the weather was balmy and
spring-like and Washington seemed to have
caught new life and the fire of youth from
Soils mild rays. Thronged were the ave-
nues, thronged the horse.cars, the highways
thronged with carriages and phaetons. So
ciety's beauties, with gallant escorts, COM
mingling and converging made up pano
rama as singularly striking as beautiful.
Our lately arrived Solons were on hand and
'To and fro, they were hurried abo ut,
And to and fro, and in and OUT
Whittier or wherefore the immortal gods
Of inspiration shold tenable in their silence
still,' as Congress was not then in session.
Full fitting conclusion to this bright day
was the sceue witnessed within the walls of
old Georgetown as night came on. There
was there "a sound of revelry" and each
heart seemed filled with mirth. It was the
occasion Of shop" given by the members
of the Junior Glass to their fellow students
of the higher and lower schools, and
chosen few from abroad. The spacious
Refractory was bedecked with flowers of
rarest loneliness and hung with the bright col
ors of the class Of 81. Some of the venerable
Alumni were filled with wonder at the en-
terprise of the present generation. They
contrasted the brilliant scene with the for
mer work-a.day appearance Of che place and
concluded that their old Alma Mater bad
drunk inspiration from the Telephone age,
and that the staid tenor of the "Good old
days. was gone. Yet no ':Laudator tempo
ris acti" marred the festive eve by untimely
croakings. ''All went merry as marriage
bell.'' Over the waxen-like floors glided
the graceful fawn-like forms of many
Venus with each an attendant Adonis, while
the orchestra discoursed of the pleasing
strains Of Strauss. In the banquet that was
spread the Juniors fairly out did expectation
by their magnificence. 1t was worthy of the
most fastidious epicure. Supper over and
few well-timed remarks by distinguish
ed guests, the Virginia reel, and the Sth
OF December. 1879, was thing of the
past. A goodnight, hand-shake, long life
to the s'boys OF 81 and the curtain falls.
Yours, D. U.

THE VALLEY VIRGINIAN
sTAUNTON, VIRGINIA.
The Coiorea Vote.

The Wing, noticing the camor Of the
Conservative press about the election to Of
fee by the Re-adjusters of the Legislature
Of several colored men, calls attention to
the fact that In 1869, "a Conservative Senate
elected colored man as Dooreeper, in
response to the caucus, over, as the Whig is
informed, many, and among them, crippled
Confederate soldiers. Abram Hall, colored,
was elected Doorkeeper OF the Senate by the
unanimous uote of the Conservative Sena-
tors. Again, says the WAig, John Cooley,
colored, was appointed Doorkeeper to the
House Of Delegates by order of the Conser-
vatiye caucus over Confederate soldiers
all pleading for bread and pointing to
wounds as their claims to consideration.
The cry Of that party then, was that Vir-
ginia should be ruled by Virgnians, without
regard to color. but now it is white men
must rule Virginia, and that the colored
man has no rights white man is bound to
respect.
We remember very well that,in the Con-
sentative Convention in Richmond, in either
1870 or 1871, when colored delegation from
that city took their seats in the body, there
was generous applause. and when one OF
the c0Iored delegates addressed the Conven.
ton he was Justify cheered. Then it was a
fight against the ''carpet- baggers" and
''scallawags," and coalition with the col
ored people was anxiously sought by the or
ganization that now proposes relentless
prescription. In the recent election, both
factions Of the Conservative party resorted
to every argument and appeal and every in
ducement that could be thought of to secure
the cooperation of the colored voters. In
some OF the counties they voted with the
Debt Payers. and in others with the Re ad-
justers. Now, that the election is over, and
the advantage OF that coalition assured, the
purpose is declared by some of those who
plead for cooperation, that a relentless po-
litical warfare is to be declared against the
colored voters. Why? Because it is only
by such appeals that the caucus and ring
rule in Virginia can be restored. The pref
udices OF the people, however, are not so
easily stirred now as then. and there will
not be such general response. Some may
be influenced by it, but the great body of
the liberal minded people Of the State will
deplore and discountenance such harmful
agitation and milating appeals.

The Attempt to Assassination the Gar.

On the 4th, deputatOn proceeded to the
Kremlin to congratulate his majesty upon
his visit to Moscow. Previous to the En-
peror's arrival in the hall of audience the
Lord Marshall gave the deputatiOn the news
OF the catastrophe of the previous evening.
His hearers appeared for the moment thun-
derstruck. but Immediately afterwards broke
into loud cheers at the Emperor's escape.
The Emperor appeared in St Georges Hall
at noon and was presented by the municipal
authorities with bread and salt, when he
spoke as follows: ssGentlemen-I am very
glad to see you again, remembering the 10y
al attachment which you evinced on the oc-
casion of the sad event Of April IA. Similar
assurances then reached me from all parts
of Russia. Yon are already acquainted with
the events of Tuesday. God preserved me,
as we'll as those travelling with me. Anxious
only for the welfare of Russia, l have placed
myself in the hands OF Providence, but sedi-
ton must be extirpated. | appeal, there
fore, to you and all right minded people to
aid me in the eradication OF this evil which
has taken root in Russia. l address myself
to parents, and urge them to conduct their
children iii the paths of truth and righteous
ness. in order that they may become, not
miscreants, but useful and good citizens"
The Emperor's words was received with
loud cheers.
A person who was in the baggage train at
time of the explosion says the baggage train
of fourteen carriages and two locomotives
was dispatched half an hour before the train
carrying the Emperor, but by fortunate
chance the Czar's train overlook the bag
gage train, passed and left it some distance
behind. The explosion attracted the police
and crowd of people, who were loud in
their expressions of horror. Telegraphic
communications was interrupted for time,
owing to the posts having been thrown down
by the explosion. Two railway Officials who
| were in the immediate vicinity were badly
injured. The perpetrators doubtless thought
che Gear was in the second train. The public
prosecutor and the magistrate soon arrived.
