Mr.. Rouss to the University of Va.

Mr.. Chas. B. Rouss, of New York. on
the 2nd of March, ,sent his check fol
$4,000 to the University of Virginia
to be used in completing the Physical
Laboratory which bears his name.
Accompanying the check was letter
from which we make the following ex
tracts:
| regret to observe through the Vir-
ginia papers that there is a disposition
upon the part of some members of the
Legislature to curtail the annual ap
preparation to the University. | re-
gard this as great mistake. Because
of its great name rs an educational in.
stitution the University has always
been not only the pride of Virginians
but of the entire Southland. A very
large proportion of the men from that
section who have attained eminence In
the councils of the nation. and fame in
the field of literature and education.
are proud to point to the great Uni
versity as their alma mater.
1t may not be impertinent in this
connection to correct the erroneous
statements which have found expires
sion recently in the public press, that
| would refuse to give anything more
to the University because MIR. Bryan
had been invited to deliver an address
last session before the literary societies
of that institution. How unjust such
a suggestion Can it be possible that
with my lifelong demand for free
thought and free press, as loyal dis.
ciplc of Thomas jefferson, your great
founder, should be charged at this
late day with possessing such narrow
views as would deny to others that
freedom of opinion and action which 1
have always claimed for myself9

MIR. Richard II. CatlAtt.

We chronicle this week with pro-
found sorrow, the death Of Mr.. Richard
Fl. -Catlett, which occurred at his home
in this city on Monday last 21st inst.
Though in feeble health for several
years and his death hourly expected
for several days, still when the final
dissolution came, it carried with
1t throughout the city the deepest
sadness and regret. Never was
there a more loveable character,
q truer friend, more upright citizen.
a more conscientious Christian gentle
man, or more kind and indulgent hus-
band and father, and it was these vir-
tues which so ornamented and dignified
his lite and graced his character, and
to these we pay our humble tribute,
leaving his other virtues to ADLER pens
than ours.

The Verdict not Popular.

The fact that few people cheered
when Robert Frenger was acquitted
last week of the charge of numbering
Edward Merritt, has led persons away
from this quarter to the conclusion
that the verdict was popular. This is
by no means the fact. The cheering
was done by only few and they were
Frenger's immediate and personal
friends and in no sense represented
the feeling of the large number who
heard the trial. The verdict is not
popular, and has been severely criti-
cized by some. That Frenger was
drunk when he committed the crime
is generally believed, that the princi-
pal witnesses did not in many instan-
ces adhere to the truth, is the convic-
ton of large class of people, and
Frenger's conduct on the stand pre-
JUDGED him greatly in the eyes of
many. The case was never considered
one of murder in the first degree unless
it could have been clearly shown he
knew whom he was killing, but it was
case where a verdict for lesser
offense would have been wholly in
keeping with the evidence. That
Frenger knew when he went with his
gun down to the tenant house the
person there was Edward Merritt and
that he was not robber, admits hard
ly of doubt, but the jury gave him
the benefit of this doubt. Still there
was in the case such wanton disregard
of human life that many of the people
of this county who regard law and
order, without intending to criticize
the action of the jury as TO their hon
esty of purpose, think they made a
great mistake in not inficting some
penalty on Frenger for having taken
the life of man in the manner he
did, and they do not want in any
sense to stand accused of cheering
Frenger's acquittal, or sympathisine
in any way with such a crime as he
committed.
When it was admitted that Frengel
killed Merritt the entire burden wa'
shifted to him to s. " why he did so
and though the @o.Dan Smith would
not say she told i'm who-was thers
she did give hin the name of some
one. In the face of this he went to the
scene without seemingly any inten'
but that of committing bodily hur
with no shown effort to ascertain facts
and he fired at the first object he saw
which if he did in the dark was mos
unjustIna5ie because then he may
have killed person totally innocent,
and if it was as light as it was proven
by many to have been, he could had
he not been dazed by liquor, have seen
and recognized the person at whom he
fred. In any aspect the elements OF
justification or self defense were of a
thin and shadowy nature, if indeed
they existed at all.

Gen, NILS.

There is great pressure being brought
to bear on the part of the friends Of
Gen. Nelson A. Miles to have a posi-
ton of Lieut. Gen. created by Congress
and to have him appointed to it.
Gen. Miles, as we understand it is
not West Pointer, but a man whose
record as now shown was very remark
able in the late war. He rose from
some subordinate position to that Of
some kind Of a general during that Pc
Rod, and for this now asks that the
rule in such cases be 80 relaxed as to
let him be appointed though not a
West Pointer
The war record of Gen. Miles may
have been most honorable one, his
bravery may have equalled that Of any
man who drew his sword, but somehow
his real fame never was known to US
until recently, and we never heard of
him until he acquired notoriety by or
dering manacles to be put on Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis, when the latter was a
prisoner in Fortress Monroe. For what
purpose manacles were put on Mr..
Davis all know, who know any thing
of the occurrence.
They were not ordered because there
was any chance of escape, because Mr..
Davis was in cell with walls 20 feet
thick, nor because they were a neees-
sity for any purpose, but to wreak
vengeance. Gen. Miles doubtless at
the time he heaped this indignity on
an old sick man, in a dungeon where
escape was impossible, would have or
dered the prisoner out and had him
shot, SO great must have been his
malIgnity and burning hatred toward
him.
We have never heard any reason as
signed for this outrage. Manacles are
only used by humane and civilized peo-
PIE to prevent escape of prisoners.
They are not intended as a means of
torture, but in the Miles-Davis case
it was different, they wsre for the pur-
pose of humiliation and torture, and
to avenge hatred. Now should man
who had the heart In him which Gen.
Miles must have had when he made
the foregoing display of cruelty, be ap-
pointed as chief of our army, and a
war were to break out between this
country and Spain, we sincerely hope
that voluntarily no son Of Confed-
crate soldier, nor any son of any man
who was a Confederate sympathiser
will serve under him. but leave him to
draw his followers, from points and
people in sympathy with his brutal
acts. We would expect a man with such
hatred in his heart to put men from
the South in such places as to have
them cut to pieces by an enemy and
then smile at the slaughter. Certain
ly no rebel or the son OF a rebel will
trust his life in the hands of so heart
Less q person A. Miles.

Old Couple Found Dead.

Jesse Thomas and his wife, believed
to be over one hundred years old, were
found dead in their little log hut, on
Dogwood creek, in Fayette county, W.
Va, Monday of last week Develop
ments showed their deaths occurred
two days apart. For years they had
made their home in the lonely hut.
They lived sparingly and even stinted
themselves of food and clothing. Since
their death bag of money, contain
ing 81 600 in paper money and over
$500 in gold has been found on the
premises. Neighbors believe that there
is yet large amount of silver money

Mr.. E. B. Dyer, g Amyer of Charles
ton, W. Va vas interviewed by a
nia eporter at Richmond last
r. y, and amongst other things
said:
ut is not known whether Senator
Faulkner is a candidate for reelection
though it is pretty certain that his
name will be presented to the Demo
cratic caucus. At present the strong
est candidate seems to be Hon. John
I. McGraw of Grafton, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee. He
is one of the best known lawyers in
the State, and has rendered the party
distinguished service for many years,
both as a member of the State Com
mittee and on the hastings. He was
a great personal friend of the late
Senator John E. Kenna, the most dis
tinguished public man West Virginia
ever produced, and this fact is said to
give him additional popularity.
Mr.. Dyer thinks the Democrats will
carry the State next fall, and if they
do, Mr.. McGraw will probably succeed
to the toga.

War Stares us in the Face.

It looks as if we are bound to have
a war with Spain. We have studied
the question, we have watched the
preparations, we have felt as far as we
could the pulse Of the nation, and all
seem to point to that end. There
would be no excuse for the gathering
Of troops to the sea coast, nor the pur-
chase of war ships. nor the activity
in army and navy circles, nor the vast
expenditure of money if we are not to
have war. These are not for defense,
we have nothing to defend from attack
because no country on earth is going
to attack us. We are to do the at.
lacking. We are to be the aggressors.
We are preparing to declare the in
dependence of Cuba, and to demand a
-ge indemnity for our lost battle
nip, and no other solution OF the case
Is consistent with the circumstances.
No administration could render excuse
or apology for what is now going on.
except on the plea that our ship was
blown up by Spanish connivance, that
we are being disturbed in our com
mercial relations to an extent to which
We will no longer submit, and that we
are determined to stop starvation in
Cuba.
These are to be the justifying causes,
and as a nation always submits to a
war there will in this case be submis
sion if there is not indeed eagerness
to engage in it. But war is deplorable.
To have it said that thirty years have
scarcely elapsed since we were in the
midst of carnage and bloodshed. and
now our Unsuitable maws must be
crammed with more food of the same
character, is a sad commentary
and makes US almost doubt the stabiI-
ity Of republican government. We
did hope that in the lives of those who
engaged In the last conflict there
would be no more such, but our hopes
ye fear will be blasted. We are not
