Harvard refused the honorary degree of
Doctor of Laws to Ben. Butler. although
it had been customary to confer the So
called distinction upon Governors of Mas
sachusetts since the foundation of the
college. Benjamin. however, WAS neither
down cast nor utterly crushed, but quietly
bided his time to balance the score. Last
week, with unusual pomp, he attended
the commencement exercises at Harvard.
in conformity to a custom which had al
most become obligatory upon the Chief
Magistrate Of the Bay State. A cores
pondent described his arrival thusly. lie
rode in an open barouche, drawn by six
magnificent horses, three of light gray
and three of jet black, and was accompa-
MED by his military staff in dazzling uni
form, with the usual escort of Relocated
Lancers. In the barouche with the Gov
ernor was Lieut-Gov. Ames, and the staff,
all mounted, rode directly behind the car
riage, A guard of honor detailed from
the Lancers rode two Oh each side of the
Staff in the rear Of the carriages, while a
division of LancerS was in front and an
other in the rear, forming major general s
escort" He was not hailed with any vast
amount of enthusiasm, but during the pro-
ceedings conducted himself with the ut
most decoruln and even carried his courtesy
ofar as tofeign an interest in the announce
ment of the degrees, &c. AT the alumni
dinner he was called upon to respond to
the standing toast ''The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, and his speech took
the house by storm. 1t was filed with
good service and avoided any allusion
whatever to the slight to which he had
been subjected. In short he managed to
heap up the Goals on the heads of those
who had sought to humble him, and
proved that the man they had deemed I'M
worthy of an empty honor was head and
shoulders above them. intellectually and
otherwise. He left the college the hero
of the hour, and carried with him many
additions to his list of supporters for the
next Governorship.

Election of Judges.

A correspondent in last weeks CLAIR
ION who signs himself Democrat" pre-
sents some strong arguments in favor of
electing judges by the people, and some
which are hard to contradict. Among
other things he says; eff, therefore,
we are capable of self-goyernment at
all !. if we have intelligence and virtue
sufficient to elect governor who in turn
will have intelligence and virtue enough
to nominate a judge, we certainly must
have virtue and intelligence sufficient to
elect Il Judge in the first instance. The
creator must be equal to the creature.
Water cannot run above level with its
source" That is the idea exactly. If
the people are capable of electing gov
ernor who has the intelligence to APP
point a Judge, and senator's who have
the intelligence to confirm the appoint
ment, they are certainly capable Of elect
ing the judge in the first instance. PAS

The Growing Edifce.

Philadelphia American.
The State of Illinois fixes three cents
mile rs the maximum charge for rail
road passengers. a citizen of the State
demanded that he should be carried six
miles for eighteen cents, and was re-
fused because the railroad had fixed
twenty cents as the price of the ticket.
The Supreme Court decides once more
in favor of the State law, and against the
railroad. 1t says that the right Of the
State to regulate the charges made by a
common carrier is principle Of com
mon law, and nothing less than an ex-
press provision to the contrary in the
charter can estop the exercise Of the
right. This is Of Importance, not to
Illinois only, BUTT the whole country.
1t may be regarded as Growing the edi-
fee of the Granger decisions. Who
now charges the Western farmers with
being thieves or communists, because
they secured State regulation for rail-
roads? Yet it is not 50 long since those
charges were made by nearly every orr
gan Of public opinion in our Eastern
cities,

GEN. FERGUSON.
How the President was Influenced to
Appoint Him.

Concerning the appointment Of Gen.
Ferguson as member of the Mississippi
River Commission, the Washington cor
respondent of the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrate telegraphs his paper ass follows:
"This appointment has caused some
surprise among Mississippi river people
here, as it was thought Col. Flad, of st.
Louis, would be the successful candidate
Capt. Ferguson's friends, including the
senators and representatives from his
State, worked earnestly for him. Ex-
Senator Bruce was untiring in his behalf,
but he probably owes his appointment
largely to the social influence of his
brother, T. II. Ferguson, assistant United
States fish commissioner, who is quite
wealthy, and commands high social
position here, He also had the support
of Senators Hampton and Butler, Of
South Carolina, who were probably able
TO turn the scale in his favor. They
have both been here and personally in
terceded for him. The President, in
looking the case over. seemed inclined to
think that Capt. Suter represented the
interests Of st. Louis sufficiently, and
that the appointment ought really 70 be
given TO the man who was identified
with the interests of the people Of the
lower Mississippi. Mr. Ferguson is an
accomplished engineer, and has been a
member of the Mississippi Levee Board
for number of years. He is q leveC
man in every sense of the word, and j,
thoroughly committed in favor Of Mis-
sissippi river improvements. He gradu
ated at West Point in 1857, but resigned
from the army on the LIST of March
1861, to go into the Confederacy, anc
reached the grade Of major-general !
