On Thursday morning Acting President
Freze received letter from Mortimer L.
Cooley, Washington, d. c., Assistant Engi-
neer in the Bureau of Steam Engineering,
stating the intention of the Naval Depart
neering Department of the University. This
appointment was made Mt the solicitation of
the President, and Mr.. Cooley will be invited
to come to Ann Arbor at once to arrange for
the course of study. which will be under his
charge and which will be instituted at the
opening of the college year in the fall. Mr..
Cooley is graduate of the Naval Academy

appointed AS sistant Engineer in the Bureau
of Steam Engineering of the Naval Depart
ment. He has had some experience in

struction of machinery. The establishment
of the course of Mechanical Engineering i'll
the University makes the Department of
Engineering, in all its branches, very COM
plete. The Department of Civil Engineer

who has definitely decided not to accept the
position rendered him i'll the Boston School
of Technology, the Mining Engineering De-

The Greenback Camp Meeting ON the Fair
Grounds on Monday and Tuesday, was very
slim affair, considering the amount of adver-
Using and blowing that had been done. and
the distinguished gentlemen of their party
that were to address them. Mr.. Miller, of
Detroit addressed about one hundred of the
faithful on the first day of the meeting
which number may have been doubled on
the following day to listen to the great
apostle of fatism Hon. Gilbert De La Matyr
The crowd possessed the least enthusiasm of
any political meeting of like numbers we
ever attended The great drift of the speak
ers remarks were the usual Greenback howl
and harangue against the capitalists of the
country, forgetful throughout that labor and
capital 60 hand in hand, and that one is as
essential as the other to the prosperity of the
country The speaker said that we were OH
the eve of great revolution, greater than
any the world had ever known before The
people not only of this country, but through
out the world were going to rise up and
wipe out forever the great curse lin his esti-
mation) to mankind interest. He even went
so far as to make vein attempt at a quota
ton upon the Bill to sustain his position.
but he evidentlJ ,as not very familiar with
that book. low this was to be accomplished
wondered how many of the men who
to-day are the possessors of beautiful homes
and are surrounded by happy families pro-
vided with the Injuries and comforts of life,
would have ever obtained them had il not
been that some capitalist had possessed
wealth which they could borrow. though they
did have to mortgage the farm and pay the
ten per cent. withal. 1t is the capital of
the country that has built our railroads. our
churches, our schools and manufactures
without them what would the farms of Van
Buren, county be worth to-day? The speak
er said there were 10 millionaires in the SEN
ate of the United States, and spoke of them
as though it was crime for man of wealth
to hold political office. We would that
there We're 10 millionaires in Paw Paw, some
of us would then stand chance to get hold
of some of their wealth, and those of us who
have to borrow could do 50 at a less rate of
interest than we do now.
No party that seeks to put one class of
citizens against another, or seeks to destroy
one branch of industry at the expense of
another, can succeed.

During the year ending June 80 there
were exported from this country $40,3l5,-
SOC worth of petroleum, an increase over the
preceding year of $4,O96,97l.

The split which had been predicted III the
ranks of the Republican party of Virginia,
occurred at Lynchburg, on Thursday last.
Those who favored the Malone ticket, en-
dorsed it without making any nomination..
While those who are termed straight outs
nominated VIM. G. Wickham for Governor
and Samuel M. Yost for Lieutenant Govern
or. Both these gentlemen refused to accept
the nomination. This action OH the part of
the Republicans will undoubtedly be the
means of giving the Cameron ticket many
votes il otherwise would not have received.
While we do not agree with Mahones policy
of dealing with the public debt of Virginia,
there are many things advocated by the re-
adjusters that are right. The other party is
all wrong and no right, and if some of the
fragrant wrongs that have been perpetrated
upon the colored people of the State for
years shall he wiped out, and fair vote and
fair count, and their just right under the
law, which they never have had, shall be Sc
cured them, they will be justified in voting
the Malone Cameron ticket. OF two evils,
choose the least

The convention Of civil service reform
which recently met at Newport, was attended
by Geo. William Curtis, Carl Schurz, Ex-
Senator Eaton, Democrat, e. p. Wheeler
and others, but after discussing several reso-
lutions that were presented, the meeting adj
journed apparently leaving 'the cause" just
where it was before. Curtis wanted the re-
formers everywhere committed to the bill
introduced into Congress by Senator Pendle-
ton. While E. Z. Wheeler urged them to
support the bill introduced by Mr.. Willis
of Kentucky, both Democrats. Any So
called reform measure, fathered by such men
as Pendleton and Willis, will be looked upon
with suspicion by the great mass of the
people.

The will of John j. Bagley was filed in
the probate court of Wayne county, and
shows the characteristics of the man and
illustrates his large heartedness:
To each person who had been in his EN-
ploy for five years, he gave $50; to those
who had been in his employ for period of
ten years, he gave $500, and to all those
who had been in his employ fifteen years, he

The department of Agriculture will soon
issue report in reference to the spring
crops as gathered by their correspondents
throughout the country. It is believed the
report will show that there has been no great
falling off in the crop of spring wheat. Also
that the decrease il the corn crop of the west
will not be so large as expected, while at the
south it will be an unusually small one. The
tobacco yield will also be small.

The State printer has made quick job of
publishing the public acts Of Michigan for
the year 1881. The first bound copies were
received by the Secretary of State, on the
25th of July and are being distributed to
the several counties as rapidly as possible.
The job il good one and the books have
been published about two months sooner
than those of 1880 were-still the Detroit

The forebodings in the Presidents condi-
ton for the last two or three days. have been
such that almost everybody has abandoned
all hope of his recovery, even to his physi-
clans themselves. The public mind, ever
since il recovered from the first shock of the
news that he had received an assassin's
wound. that was then supposed to be fatal.
has been grasping the hopeful bulletins of
the attending physicians with that eagerness
which shows the strong hold he has upon
the adSiiration and love of the people. And
his death at this time, will be far more sad
than had the assassins bullet done its work
instantly. The bravery. courage and forti-
tude which he has shown during these long
six weeks suffering, has wone for him feel
ing in every true American heart, that he
has earned the right to live: Ever since he
was informed that there was chance to live,
he has abandoned neither hope nor effort to
that end. The following bulletins have been
received here since Wednesday morning. in
relation to his condition
WEDNESDAY, 7:45 A. M.
The only information that can be obtained
from physicians this morning, bearing upon
Presidents condition. is that there has been
some improvement during the night. Pnlse
reported this morning not only less frequent
hut more firm.
p. M.-The President is doing nicely,
and there is strong hopes that he will yet
recover.
