NEW ORLEANS LETTER.

New ORLEANS, July 18th, 1881.
made q mistake in my telegram
to you Us to the locality of the shoot
ing of the President-as it was in
Washington and not Long Branch
for at that time the excitement was
so great that it was not exactly known
at the telegraph Office. 1t rejoices
the whole nation to hear that the
chances for his recovery are splendid.
His death would have indeed been a
great calamity for the country, and
especially for the South, as he said
that he was going to be President of
the whole country.
By the way! that was fine article
of yours on "The Situation There
was an individuality running through
it that was very familiar to me, and
of course it was a happy vein of
thought you happened to strike that
morning, though one would think
that after the pleasures of the Hop at
the University the night before that
you would not have been so well up
to the writing mark, and compliment
you. hear from all sides that the
exercises at the University were emf
nently successful, and that the Capt.
tai City was filled with strangers,and
that the beauty Of the surrounding
parishes was there. The school
seems to be on the fair road to pros
perity, and the next session will no
doubt see q great increase.
1t is with regret we see that Lieut..
lamar has been ordered back to his
Regiment, and hope that you may be
successful in having him retained.
Since | last wrote, the Spanish
Fort Railroad has been sold to the
Eastern Railway Co., and hear they
are to make still further improve
ment. The purchase of that road
gives them the right of way to the
centre Of the city and an outlet along
the lake shore to the Rigolettes or
wherever they may decide to cross
on their way to Meridian. This
road will be source of more trade
and travel to New Orleans. "The
more the merrier."
We are having it hot-hot, and last
night was an oft night for sleeping.
The fat fellows go about putting and
blowing and looking for cool places.
1t was estimated that over 5000 peo-
pie visited West End On the 4th of
July, although the fire works were
postponed until next Sunday. We
have no startling rumors, and now
that the President is getting better
all the time. There is scarcely rip
ME of news anvWhpre.
By the way! What's that "Rat'
business between you and the Advo-
cate' Where "do you come ID ?" |
must have missed copy of the pa
per, as ~ fail to see the point" But
| suppose "copy" is scarce.
| forgot to say that the States and
Democrat seem to be working up q
case-that's sort of a ripple.
Trusting that you are provided
with palm leaf fans and cool-places,
am DRAGON.

We reproduced a few days ago from the
Montgomery Messenger an article showing
how much the colleges in Virginia would
lose If the RIDDLEBERCEE bill should ever
become a law. Replying to the Messenger,
the Wing says;
college endowments invested in state
bonds always have been and always Will
he treated upon an independent and most
liberal footing. For instance, with excep-
lions caused hy Funder Observation-Disclosures,
our colleges have all been receiving ful
per cent. interest on their bonds against
the State, whether peeler, consol, or un-
funded. Any abridgment OF their capital
or income ensuing from general read
justment will doubtless be made up to
them by auxiliary appropriation"
That's a good sign. II shows that the
Readiusters know that il win not do TO re-
adjust the debt due the colleges, although
these institutions have received larger pro-
portion Of the interest due them than hiss
been received by any Others OF the creditors
Of Virginia. We record the Wigs para-
graph as pledge that the ReSdiuster5 will

TO know that such is the fact, and should
take great credit TO ourselves il we could
believe that we had had any hand in saving
the endowments OF the literary institutions
Of the Old Dominion.
The New York Tribune will please read
what the Wing says in the paragraph above
quoted, and then tell its readers what sort
OF honest reimbursement that is which can
no, be applied to the bonds held D. "hools
and colleges. II Virginia owes more
than the SO per cent. assumed by GO RID

as the consol bonds are concerned, how is
it that she must pay hundred per cent. OF

Aupusta County.

Noble old Augusta county, she is always
right. We have read with great satisfaction
Of the proceedings Of her Democratic
County Convention OF last Monday held to
nominate candidates for the General A.
sembly.
ABsALOM KOINER was nominated 10y at
clamaiion for the Senate. He is a true
Democrat and a representative man-solid,
sensible, and relable-a genuine Augustan.
As the boatmen on the western waters say,
''he win do to tie TO-"
MARSHALL HANGER was the next nomi-
nee-for the House OF Delegates OF course
He is known all over Virginia as one Of the
best Speakers who ever sat in the chair

JONES, OSCAR n. CRUTCHFIELD, and such
Ike worthless. Capable, faithful, and expo
rienced, Mr.. HANGER will worthily repre-
sent his county next winter, as he has so
often done heretofore.
The next and last-made nominee was
JAMES Ii. SKINNER. We let the Spectator
finish:
"NCYcr before nave we witnessed Such
wild enthusiasm as greeted the nomination
OF Colonel skinner. One wild shout after
another went up, and was aided by the
clapping OF hands and the waving OF bats.
Amidst the huzzas Of the delighted crowd
Colonel Skinner was almost borne to the
stand, and silence once more prevailed, for
all feared that he would not accept the
nomination. And his opening words bore
presage Of such an event when he said 4:
This day Is the proudest as well as the
saddest Of my life. He was anxious
TO serve the people OF Augusta, who
had SO greatly honored him, but he did
not feel that he could either do himself or
them Justice in accepting the trust they had
SO generously offered him. QIere there
were cries OF, We viii canvass for you.

Captain John 0pie came forward, and 10

expressed willingness to assent to "repu-
