charges his own defeat a. Chicago to

that Garfield, while ostensibly favor.

hardly be expected that COnkling,

shall manifest a don't.csre spirit also,

Will be sad. Colonel Mcclure, of the

astray in his political pIognostics-

On the day succeeding the Chicago
convention he telegraphed to his
paper that the plan of the stalWari

years would disgust the country and
thereafter insure long continuance
of republican rule. We shall see.

SOME OF the republican editors are
counting on large gains in their con-
gressional representation by reason OIL
the appo.tionment to be made under
the new census. The Congress to be
elected next fall will make the appor.
tionment. and the subsequent Con
gress will be elected under it. Il j:
true the apportionment will transfer
the political power in this country,
but the transfer will not be from the
democrats 10 the republicans; it will
be from the east ID the west and
southwest. Hereafter New York and
the east must take second places. as
platforms will be framed and candi-
dates chosen to please the west. 1t
is now thought that the number OF
congressman will not be increased, in
which event the representation in the
republican east would be materially
reduced, and large gains made in the
west and democratic southwest. But
even should the number of congress
men be increased IN accordance with
the increased population, the basis OF
representation being lett as at pre-
sent, the strong republican section in
the east would gain very few, while
the doubtful west and northwest
would run up wonderfully, and the
democratic southwest be more than
doubled. Under the new spportion-
ment the democrats may gain moth
ing in the south, but ten or twelve
more members will have to be sllot-
ted 20 Texas, ore or two 10 Arkansas,
four or FIVE to Missouri, and three or
four to Illinois, all democratic.
Though the northwestern states will,
under the new order, help the re-
publicans in Congress, the losses
in the esst will about equslize
the matter, still leaving the demo-
Gratis in the majority. The same
rule will apply to the presidential
election in 1884. There will then be
q largely increased electoral vote,
coming from the west and northwest.
But this must necessarily be to the
advantage Of the democrats. for the
-aason that after the 4th of March
next they will have working in
their interest the hundred thou
sand federal officials who are now
l.boriug for the success of the repnb
licsu patty. The government pa

Yale Wins EasiIy-FataI Acct
dent

New London, lin the Yale Har-
ward boat race to-day, Yale broke
rowlock at the end OF sixty yards,
Harvard being then tsr ahead; but
the referee caused both bos!s to re-
turn under agreement by which the
matter was left TO bis discretion ss 70

The final start WAS not made Until

terrific spurt. while Harvard rowed
badly, allowing their opponents to
increase the lead every minute.
Nothing has ever been seer on the
Thames River that txcelled the
splendid rowing dole by tie Ysles

dropped less than thirty mine. their
boat rushed through the water at a
terrific pace, which every minute
was putting tee prov of Har-
wards shell father and farther

thus completed with Yale six lengths
ahead. The story OF tue last mile is
easily told. Yale still kept up their
powerful stroke. apparently as fresh
as at the start; Harvard was showing
surprising weakness. Thus in pro

that happened on the Northern rail-
road, and which resulted in
the death OF President F. w.
Lincoln, of the Boston snd Albany
Railroad, and Mrs. DR.. William
Appleton of Boston. Lincoln

HAYES AT YALE.
He Speaks a speech and Per-
peIrates n Pun.

New Haven, 1.-President Hayes
made a speech at the Yale alumni
meeting this afternoon, IN the course
OF which he said: You will perhaps
recall the exciting events of four years
ago, during the embarrassing period
which interviewed between the cleo
ton and decision as TO who
should be the incumbent Of the presi.
Dental chair. I was much embar-
rased, for it was plain that if the
trust and responsibility of the station
WIS TO devolve upon me, 1t would not
be voyage over smooth
sea or under balcyon skies. Therefore,
when l thought of the responsibility
chat might devolve upon my should
ere, say, the first thought was
what is the paramount duty shall
have 10 perform, and how can it be
done2 1t seemed to me the pscifca-
ton of the country was the first duty.
l know theie we're good and true
people who failed to see 1t as did,
but l saw the necessity OF doing
something to restore the confidence
Of the whole people and bring to the
country the rest and repose it so
sadly needed. Seeing this as my
fret duty, l asked what can l do to
assure all that would me my first
duty? This had been done In the
party platforms and in the letters of
acceptance framed in high sounding
words and sentences. Whist was re-
quired by the people, however, was
some distinct, unmistsksble and pal
pable act. (Applause.) [ thought
] might find in the south some man
of the highest character, who had
been against me through the
long and hitter struggle, and
who, therefore, had tie entire
confidence of the southern people. l
found no great political leader sug-
costing that this course might posi-
bly lead to a solution of difficulties.
While I was ponoering what to do
and what course to pursue, there
came to me like a flash from the
clear sky the thought Of Yale and
the venerable president whom We
almost worship. (Applause.) With
cut drifting into speech 1 will say
I wrote him aud then followed i'm
nlicitly President Woolsey's advice.
Renewed applause and cheers All
NAV not have followed snu resulted
as I or any one else could have
hoped; but in following his advice

AT THE Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, a new departure has teen
taken in the matter of comforting de.
grees upon the graduates. The trus-
tees have cast aside the antiquated
idea that a college is a machine
which can turn out in four years
after a certain pattern, graduates of
similar attainments, and have thrown
the responsibility of the time of grad
uation upon the student. That is,
they have abandoned the traditional
four years course, and propose to
graduate the student when he arrives
ats certain standard of proficiency,
regardless of the time required. The
idea is rational, though it may not
become popular with other colleges.
There is no good reason for requir-
ing before graduation, a certain
machine routine for so many years.
1t the student shall show the required
proficiency in two years, be ought
not to be compelled to linger two
years more before he can be gEsdu-
ated. In the Johns Hopkins Uni
versiiy various courses of study are
provided, by which each student will
be required with method and system
to pursue such studies as his bent and
capacity may indicate as best. while
by special application and unusual
industry bis graduation day may be
advanced. The new rule bas been
adopted as az experiment., and it is
worthy the attention OF educators.
1t certainly ofisrs an incentive to in
dustry On the part of the student. and
promotes his individuality.
