Messers Editors:
More of our female colleges, in which we
all feel so much pride, have assembly rooms
large enough TO accommodate the I'M
mense numbers who crowd to their com
mence1nents-nor could commodlous halls
be adds d except at great expense. Now,
considering how important these schools
are to our city. would it not be sound pol
icy on the part of our Ci y F theirs to cor
rect the coustic defect of the Opera
House and offer its free use to these col
leges for commencement occasions? rub
lie necessity ard interest seems to demand
it, while. nobody could be hurt by it. Let
this be done and then let the police officers
be instructed either to admit no one into
the building without proper invitation
or else to compel quiet and good order
during the exercises. Please advocate
this measure with your well known good
HARD SENSE.

Virginia Politics.

The campaigning among the Readjusler
. leaders in. South western Virginia seems
to be OF the rough and tumble order. A
Wytheville paper says:
Sat Giles c. H. on the 10Th inst, Capts
F. S. Blair and S. HI. New berry had a fight
Blair accused Newberry OF never having
supported Democratic nominee. New
berry replied that it was lie, whereupon
Blair threw tumbler at NeWberry, and
the two then clinched for round, but
friends interfered and brought matters to
close.
At Salem on Monday last, while speak
ing. Blair was asked if he endorsed the
course of the last Legislature. He at first
eyaded the question. He was pushed up
on it though, and finally replied that be
did. Some one asked if be approved OF
electing negro Republican and thief
over one. legged soldier. He said that
Sullivan had resigned his position III order
to be confron ed with the negro for p0liti-
cal effect. Mr.. VIM. Sullivan, brother of
the, one-legged man, being present, replied
that that was lie. Blair made a demon
stration for fight, which persons who saw
it, said was very fee ole, but friends later
fered and the matter was dropped"
At the Republican Convention. which
met in Tappahannock on the Goth instant
Mr.. John W. Wolff was nominated for
Congress. Gen. r. L. I. Beale, is now
the Democratic representative from that
district.
Capt. John Pau! made one of his best
efforts last Monday in behalf of Re-adjust-
ment, showing up pretty clearly the insin
cerity of the Funder faction In arroga ing
to itself the sole championship of the Vir-
ginia democracy Highland Recorder.
The Marion "Patriot,;' prominent Re
adjuster paper Of Southwest Virginia,
says of the s'unpledged' Malone scheme:
If we should charge every Readjuster in
the Ninth district who is opposed to the
s'unpledged'' with having become a Fun
der there would be very few persons left to
be called Readjusters. So far as we have
been able to ascertain the Readjusters Of
the district are opposed nearly as a "unan-
imous unit" to the "unpledged."

The North American Review for June,
published by ID. Appleton & Co., New
York, is received. The third and closing
article Of series by Geo. Ticknor Curtis
on s'McClellan's last services to the Repub-
lc,'' is so interesting as to make us regret
not seeing the first two papers. The arti-
Gle on divorces in New England" by DR..
Nathan Allen, gives some startling facts
about the lightness in which matrimonial
bonds in that land of steady habits are
held. 1t shows by statistics that the ratio
of divorces to marriages is increasing rap
idly, and that in the year Of 1878 in Massa-
chusettes it stood to Is; in Rhode Island
1 to g.; in Connecticut to s, and in Yer
mont to 13. Rev. DR.. E. A. Shoupe has
an article entitled s'Has the Southern pull
pit failed?" which is reply to the recent
declarations Of Prof. Swing, of Chicago
Oh this subject. The other articles are :

THE SCENE IN THE coNvE NTIoN


The location of the various delegations
is indicated by shields bearing the name OF
State or Territory. Outwardly the scene
was attractive and inspiliting; but uLder-
Meath all the glamour of tie occasion 1t
could be seen that the rambling antago-
nisms had been stilled onlys for the mo
ment; that the holto1u truce in few short
hours would be broken, and the battle
rage with increased ferceness. AS the
different delegations entered the hall in
rapid succession the forms OF the tIraot
leaders were described at the heads of their
respective columns. No demonstration
was made except when Senator Conkllng
entered. He matched slowly down the
immense hall amid cheers and clapping of
hands, apparently unconscious that he was
the object of any attention, except by
slightly increased pallor and more deter
mined knitting of his brows, and took his
seat without so much as nod. Don Cam
eron, with the members of the national
committee, came on the stage at the hour
fixed for opening, but for some reason or
other he did not rap the convention to Or
der until l O'Clock.

Some of our friends of the other wing OF
the Democracy seem to rather feel triumph
that their coming convention should be
looked forward to with anxiety. And why
not anxiety? Why should not every Dem
ocrat in Virginia who atall appreciates the
serious questions at stake at the next Pres
idential election, feel anxious about the
result of a convention whose acts may put
the National Democracy in peril of defeat.
