HE RETRACTED.

The students of the University Col
lege of Medicine, of which DR.. Hunter
Mcclure is President, held an indigna-
ton meeting in Richmond yesterday to
pass upon the case of J. W. Miller, of
Honey Ford, Pa, who a pharmacepti-
cal student in that institution. There
were two charges against As, ,',er Ono
was that he wrc ,.e scandalous letters to
tne T.oney Ford Graphic ridiculing the
the South and calling Jefferson Davis u
traitor. The other was that the young
Pennsylvania while speaking to a
southern lady characterized the young
men of the college as "a herd of cat
tle." Mr.. Miller said when he first
came to Richmond, not understanding
southern questions, he wrote the first
communication complained of, but has
since written another letter virtually
retracting his utterances. The students
were not disposed to accept the e1pla.
nation and held an indignation meet
ing.
Almost every student at the college
was present at the meeting, and Mr..
Miller was also there. A great many
speeches were made, some speakers
advocating the summary dismissal oil
young Miller. Other speeches, how
ever, were more temperate in char
acter.
Only one member of the faculty,
Professor Hodges, was present, and he
was called on for speech. His re.
marks were very pacific in character,
and in advocacy of the whole affair be-
ing dropped, The Professor said that
it was evident from Mr.. Miller's ex-
plantations and apologies that he did
not realize the feeling in regard to
President Davis in the South.
Mr.. Miller then arose and repeated
his apologies for his unfortunate re.
marks, He said that he had been
raised in the North, and had naturally
absorbed the general sentiment pre-.
vailing there, and that he mad no con.
ception of the way in which Jefferson
Davis was regarded by the people Of
the South. He intimated that what he
had written to the Graphic did not re-
| heot his real sentiments, but was rather
written in style that would be accept.
able TO his paper. He regretted ex.
oeedingly, he said, that the affair. had
ever occurred, for during the time he
had been in Richmond be had learned
to respect the southern people and
their prejudices. Mr.. Miller's state
ments were as full and complete ar
apology for what he had done as it wa:
possible for him to make, and after
considerable discussion Of the matter
the sense of the meeting was that il
should be dropped.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL's RETORT.-

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL's REToRT--
COY. OFerralI was very indignant YES
terday when shown the charge to the
Alexandria county grand jury on Mon
day and published in the GAzrTrE.
As to his signing the excise and horse
racing bills, the Governor said both
those bills were pending for quite ii
while in the Legislature, and neither
while they pending nor after their pas
sage did Judge Chichester ever express
TO him, directly or indirectly, any OPP
position to either bill. When the bills
were passed and laid before the Gov
ernor ne saw nothing in either to justi-
fy him in exercising the veto power.
The excise bill had nothing to
do with gambling. The representa-
tives Of the people preferred board
for the determination of the question
of liquor license TO Judge Chichester.
That was all IF the people. desired
tbs change there was no reason why
the Governor should interfere. Touch
ing the statements of Judge Chichester,
regarding the use OF the military, Gov.
O'Ferrall said troops were sent to drive
the Coxeyites out of the State at the

or maintaining the law. The Govern
or said that he had felt for months that
the daily gambling and lawlessness in
Alexandria county should be put down.

TIGERS of his county and by civil author
it,, put down the reign of lawlessness
of which ne justly complains, and
which mas made the county of Alexan-
dria reproach to the State, and will
call on me for the assistance of the mil
itary, l will ouly be too glad to come to
his assistance with the strong arm of
the military"
