THE UNIVERSITY or TIE SOUTH


A meeting is to be held tonight at Cal
vary church by the alumni Of the Univer-
sity of the South and their friends for the
purpose OF considering measures for the
advancement Of its interests. That il will
be u large and influential one goes without
saying. The Episcopal church in Tonnes
see occupies q position among the con-
trolling christian bodies that has some
special advantages In the personnel OF
its membership II Is largely made up
OF influential and wealthy people who can,
II they will do It, endow the University up
TO a point beyond any offending or adverse
contingencies. They can do this, and they
ought TO do it. Their church Is not rs rich
in colleges W. are other denominations OF
christianity and here at the South there
Is need especially for university that
shall meet not only all demands for q
thorough theological training, but also for
secular education in all branches, and OF
the highest degree. Tho University Of the
South already offers many facilities TO
these ends, but II must have more in addi-
tional schools and buildings and II must
to be entirely efficient be secured in Its
prcicssorships by adequate endowments.
For this purpose million or more Of dol
lars ought to be subscribed, not in n day,
n week or month, but within rcasona-
bio period Of time. The churchmen Of
Tennessee can get this amount II they
will undertake the work. To secure some
OF Il for endowment, Professor McBee has
been commissioned by the Trustees OF the
University, and he is here in Memphis to
make beginning in n work in which he
has the aid and good wishes OF Bishop
Quiniari and the clorgymcn Of the do
ccsc, aud has reason 10 hope will be sec
ondcd by the laity. II thsprovestob be so, as
TnE ArrEAL trusts II may, his labors will

THE CONFIRMATION OF LANAI

THE C0NFIRMA7TON or LAMAR
There is good reason for believing that
Mr.. Lamar will be confirmed Justice Of
the Supreme Court tomorrow. Senator
George, who has taken u great interest in
the matter, as WINS TO be expected in so
stanch friend of the Secretary, said
yesterday that allthe Democrats will vote
for confirmation, and with them SEN
ator Cameron, OF Pennsylvania, a
prospective Republican candidate for
the Presidency, and Senator Riddle
berger, whose term expires on the
4th Of March. This will be sufficient to
secure the coveted position. But the Re
publicans owe 1t 10 themselves not TO con-
sent to anything 80 disgracciul as an almost
strict party vote. II Mr.. Lamar was
patriot enough for the Office Of Secretary
OF the Interior he Is certainly patriot
enough for seat on the Supreme bench.
He was confirmed by the Senate almost
il not quite unanimously for the secretary
ship, why should he not be for the judge
ship? He has not lost anything in
character, industry or attainments since
1884, but rather gained, and is at the least
as worthy OF public confidence us then.
As TO the objection of his being disciple
Of Calhoun, there Is nothing in that TO be
uneasy over. Even II the occasion offered
he could not exceed the court rs now made
up in Its strict construction decisions;
and ~ TO his Confederate record, IL Is not
any more marked by zeal for that cause
than that Of Longstreet, Mosby, Orr,
Alderman, Key and host of other OK
Conieds. who were appointed TO positions
OF honor and trust by Grant, Hayes or
Arthur. Mr.. Lamar has all the ability re-
quircd for the place, the people Of his
State indorsc him for it., and the whole
south says amen. Ills selection by Prcsi-
dent Cleveland is nm cmincntly wise one,
and there should not be the slightest hest
fancy on the part Of any Of the Senators in
voting for him.

from military and vlorous point OF

European mind, carrying conviction, as IL
did, that the Republic was able 10 take
care Of itself and sustain itself under
circumstances OF extreme danger. II was
the fitting close Of a struggle that for a
time was doubtful. The British had been
successful ut some points on the Canada
