The Age is eminently conserva-
tive, even on points affecting Hous-
ton. II looks dispassionately on all
questions, and says: II must not be
supposed that the people Of HouA-
ton in voting for the location Of the
state university are going TO be con-
trolled by the mere consideration Of
how other people may vote on the
medical branch. IL is a question a.
to which is the better place for tho
university, and not which place vot-
ed for or against Houston for the
medical branch. Convenience ofY<-
cess, health, moral and social sur
roundings and economy, these are
the considerations that should, and
we presume will, influence the pco-
pie of Houston in casting their votes.
They will want the college located
at the point that will best promote
its success, and that will be best for
the social, moral and scholastic adj.
vancement of students, and they viii
vote to give those advantages foi
the students of the general college
whether the medical college Is 10
Gated at Houston or not.

WITH divided university there
must be two professors of chem
istry, with two sets Of indispensable
laboratories, costing from $4,000 to
$4,000 each, when one would
answer all purposes if undivided.
For the study of botany, too, there
must be two professors, for doctor
who is not a good botanist is at sea
in his profession, while no real uni
versity is without school of botany
for the literary student; besides, the
two schools in botany would
require two botanical gardens, and
two collections of specimens. For
anatomy, human and comparative,
including physiology, there must be,
in case of division, two separate es-
Establishments, with specimens, and
two professorships. These studies,
and even others, are indispensable
to the medical college, as well as to
the literary course. If it be the pur-
pose to make doctors without a
scientific literary education, there
are already enough medical COL
leges of the lower class to meet the
demand for superficial professional
education.

JUSTICE HUNT, of the United
States supreme court, is said to
show no sign of Improvement. He
remains in about the same condition
that he was several months ago, and
will never be able to resume his seat
upon the bench again. Not having
been on the bench long enough to
entitle him to be retired, it is not
expected by his associates that he
will resign until congress passes a
special act to meet his case. With
Justice Hunt too much disabled to
attend any official work, and one
place on the bench vacant, the court
is crippled in its circuit duty, and
next winter will put the court still
further behind in deciding pending
cases.

IT will be remembered that Drs.
Bliss and Baxter had a dispute
about the management of the presi-

former a liar. Thereupon Bliss
said:
CDR. Baxter has cooked his goose
brown. Its overdone, in fact. He
is not so big a man now as he was
six weeks ago, and less worthy OF
attention. Mark my word-he will
never be surgeon-general of the
army. He ought never to have
been talked of for the place"
And now DR.. Baxter must look

Bliss is his enemy, and he is awful
mad.

The following outrageous false
hood, perpetrated by the Navasota
Tablet, shows how we are slandered
abroad; and it also shows what ma
licious and unwarranted accusations
are made against us by some of our
opponents in the university race.
The Tablet says:
"At an election a few days since,
in Austin, on the question of tax
to support the public free schools,
the majority was against the tax.
Yet Austin Is clamorous for the
university. They are not in favor
of schools for the education of poor
children, but eager for a college for
the benefit of the children of
the rich. They are more eager
to get hold of the public funds. and
after they begin the university
buildings they will demand more
and larger sums to continue the
work, and probably never will finish
the buildings. They can raise hun
dreds and thousands of dollars to
hire emissaries tJ traverse the state
to make speechesto TO influence voters,
but they can Iio( stand tax for
school purposes. People certainly
will not vote for Austin, when such
meanness is perpetrated.
The above statement, as our people
well know, is utterly false. The
election for the levying of the school
tax does not occur until Tuesday
next, when, it is believed, the school
tax will be levied by large major
ity. Austin has never voted against
a tax in behalf of her public schools.
