Fifteen or twenty minutes elapsed, dt-
ring which time the telephone was once
brought into use. The members Of the
Board joked the Lieutenani-G -Goyernornpon
his appearance as a prisoner, and chltted
gaiy over the merits OF the ease. Mr..
Lewis remained in good temper ali the
while. and seemed TO be amused at the turn
affairs had taken. Major John Poe, Chief
OF Police, after awhile came into the sta
ton, and said "Good morning, gentle
men; | have come in to say to you that l
have nothing whatever against you ali, and
rs no charge has been preferred. you are at
liberty to go where you please shall be
glad to see you all in my Office"
Mr.. Lewis arose and said that he bad
been arrested by an officer wearing po-
liceman's badge; that respecting such an
emblem OF authority, he had allowed him
self to I've arrested and brought through
the streets TO the station-hOuse.
Major Poe said in this the policeman had
made mistake. His orders to his mon
had been to go to the Medical College, and
il any violation Of the peace occurred to
arrest all parties and bring them to the
station-house.
Mr.. Lewis explained how the arrest oe-

friends, he went up to the Executive Man.
sion to see Governor Cameron. The Coy
ernor advised that the Board proceed to re-
turn TO the colege-buildings and take pos
session Of them, but, pursuant to adjourn
ment at the college, the Board rcSssembed
at Ford's Hotel.
DISCUSSING TIE QUESTION.
A full discussion Of the question was
commenced, and various resolutions Of
fered. hut dinner coming on the Board adj
journcd at 2 to meet again at O'Clock.
The Board met at this time, and when
resolution summoning the faculty to appear
and show cause why they should not be
removed was offered full interchange Of
views was INDUCED in, and continued,
without acting upon the Governors sugges-
ton.
The tenor OF the remarks Of nearly all the
speakers was OF the conservative order.
The president OF the Board, Mr.. Lewis,
said that he was anxious to have the qIIes-
ton at issue stripped Of all party signif-
cance. He was willing, for the good OF the
college. to swallow the humiliation to
which he had been subjected, and was
anxious that no hasty or Incorporate action
be INDUCED in.
Judge Meade agreed with Mr.. Lewis,
and seemed to favor 4 pOs;ponement OF ac-
ton until some future time would allow
the Board an opportunity OF making the
selection OF faculty that would meet the
appreciation OF the entire people OF Nr-
ginia. This could not be done at this
iuncturc.

speeches from various members OF the
Board, the following preamble and rcsolu-
tions were adopted:
