The New York Herald has found de-
feet in the Hoar Presidential succession
bill which has been so generally COM
mended. The Hoar bill provides that in
case of the death or inability of both the
President and Vice President. the Sec
rotary of State shall become acting Presi-
dent, and in case of the death or inability
of the Secretary Of State, then the Score
tary Of the Treasury, and so on through
the list OF Cabinet officers. The constitu-
ton provides that no person except a
natural born citizen shall be eligible to
the Office of President. IL the Secretary
Of State, for instance. should happen to be
a foreign born citizen, could he in any
event become acting Presidentl The
Herald, in answer TO this question, says
"Sh0uld the emergency actually arise it
might be commended that the Secretary of
State did not by virtue Of the succession
law become President, but merely acting
President, and that his foreign birth was
not constitutional disqualification.
This might lead to mischievous discussion
and uncertainty, which may easily be
avoided by inserting in the bill some word
or words to meet the case OF a constitu-
tional disqualification"

PAULINE AND THE KING.
A DevOut Missionary who was Willing
to Make Sacrifice.


to Make = Sacrifice.
From tie AYkansaao Traveler.
The sincere missionary will do anything,
make almost any sacrifice, IN promotion Of
the sacred cause he espouses. Some time ago
the Rev. Mr.. Crutcher, an American divine
OF much gentleness and love, went to the
island of Krinkaloo. He soon learned the
simple language of the people, snd was dc
lighted with the attentions which the king
bestowed upon him One day the good mis-
sionary said to his wife:
Nancy, we cannot do too much for the
king, for the more we do for him the better
our cause will prosper, and you know am
greatly DESTROYS OF making good record over
here. In view of this have been thinking of
something which, If accomplished, will place
US beyond the possibility of failure
what is it, my dear?" his wife asked.

The missionary groaned. and his wife, flying
at him, exclaimed:

The kind old King. seeing the missonary's
troubled state, thought TO relieve him by re-
marking:

The missionary hesitated a moment, and
then replied:
No. thank you; not to-day, though l don't

The missionary has been recalled.

The friends of Col. Joseph Hodgson, of
Mobile, are urging him for the Governor
skip Of Alabama. This gentleman is a
nephew Of the late VIM. b. HodgsOn, Esq,
and in his youthful days lived in Savan-

College OF Capt. George a Mercer, of this
city, and is well known here among those
of his own age. 1t is understood that
Col. HOdgson is not an aspirant for the
mentioned, Should he, however, receive
and accept the nomination (Which is
tantamount to an election), Alabama

JOurRdl
An intelligent correspondent of the
Montgomery Ad0ertiSer suggests the
name Of Col. Joseph Hodgson, of Mobile,
for Governor. Col. Hodgson is one of
Alabama's wOrthiest sons, truest patriots
and most deserving citizens. He is one
of natures nOblemen; is young, is pro-
gressiVe in the conservative sense, is
brainy, and man of pure character and
exalted worth, who would add dignity to
the Office. He possesses commanding form
and fine and striking appearance that
make him a marked man IN any crowd or
assembly. He is the author of that now
invaluable historical work, "The Cradle
of the Confederacy," and aside from his
literary talents and tastes, he possesses
in marked degree many of the elements
TO make a popular and successful chief
executive officer of State. Col. Joseph
Hodgson has many warm personal and
political friends in Monroe who would re-
ioice TO see him elected to this positions
and the Journal would support him with
hearty enthusiasm.

portations from this country to Colombia
amount to $9,00O,0OO per year. II 1t was

THE UNIVERSITY.


We would have it understood that
we are still, and always have been in
favor of the University. But we are
not in favor of the University as it
stands. The contest has narrowed
down to the question of tuition or
no tuition, and the side Of no tuition
is supported by the vigorous pen and
great influence of Associate Justice
McIYer, but we must confess that we
are still unconvinced that the. consti-
tuition requires that tuition in the
University be free. We do not pro-
pose to enter the lists ard couch .
lance against such an illustrious
champion as Judge Mclver, but we
do feel that as the question of free
tuition is now the only point in issue,
it would be wise policy on the part
of the friends of the University to
quiet the controversy, and remove the
only remaining objection to E State
institution by charging the tuition
fee customary in our denominational
colleges.
And in this connection we cannot
help mentioning neat little point
made by a correspondent Of our
neighbor, the Prosperity Reporter, a
few weeks ago. Said he, in sub
stance, the advocates of the denomi-
national colleges urge as an objection
to the University that not. one man
in hundred who pays the tax neces
sary to support it ever reaps any ben
eft from the institution, but these
Jealous advocates forget that the
same fact>applies to denoninational
institutions. Yhey are constantly
urging upon the people Of the differ
ent denominations the duty of giving
to these institutions, and constantly
receiving liberal contributions from
men who send no children to these
schools and reap no direct benefit
from their donations. This for
what it is worth. In regard to the
University. South Carolina made the
