Yet, withal, he was in opposition to the transfer. The buildings at Oglcthorpc, we understand, cost $00,000. If At lanta be verv desirous for the University, she should oiler a't least $100,000. The whole matter was finally referred to the Sy nod of Georgia for action. Professor J. M. Anderson, of Davidson College, mude u nattering report of the. nri<spocls or thai Institution.

Tito rutlc hand or war had destroyed In many places her altars, had stricken down ninny who would have proved themselves falthfol soldiers of Christ, and had left her surviving children in tho depths of pov erty and ruin, yet In the face or all this she is saying, Itrsurgam.

(From Cincinnati Commercial, October 23.] General Grunt seemed to bo u necessity to tbo Republican party when hu wits uttusiltnously nntultuttetl by the representatives of that party In convention assembled for the Presidency, lie could have got uloug very well as General Commanding of Hie Armies, but the party could not gel along well without hint in the Presidential campaign.

It happened that several among the valued personal friends of Hie President gave him money, and that he, careless and indifferent as to that, placed them high in oillcu. Not only in regard to his Cabi net, but throughout the country, thu President displayed Hie vividness of Ills reuiembntiice and the keenness of his gratitude to ills personal friends. When wo come to count up the rela tives lie has appoint h1 to olllco, thoy are not very numerous. Hut he lias appointed person al friends and I lie friends ol lrteuds aud the favorli.es of relatives to tt degree that is not credible to his sagacity os a man of the people. Ill Ills announcement that ho did not Intend to have a policy In conlllct with the will of the people hu sccnis to ltuvo been entirely sincere. Ills conduct in olllco has given testimony to the strongest, kind to that ofTcct. Whatever may have been ills short comings, he has not been burdened with it policy. So easy is ho 011 the duties of his otllei! that hu has abundant leisure, which he spends at the seashore und on the mountains. KOMB PLAIN TALK. Sonic mutters, however, seem to demand tbo BcriuiiH ultenlluii of the President. Itc has just received a loud warning of thu perils by friends?the dangers of family Influences and the exceeding great hazard 01' familiarity with Nov. York sharpers. In this part of Hie country the inllucncc of thu President's father lias been absurd mid I" Jurions. In New York wc find a Mr. Corhln. known lOng ago ill llio Washington lobby and iu Wall street as a shrewd und unscrupulous operator, who, tt few months since, assumed the position of broihor-tn-htw of the President, uutl began presently to speculate In Hint rela tionship, it was Ills slock In Hade. It gave him familiarity witli Gould and Fisk, the most notorious of Oie. Wall street, gumhlciv. He as sumed to be aille lu control iippolntnicnts iu Now York.

While tlio bulls were at work with the Presi dent, the bears seem lo have had the Secre tary of the Treasury in hand, and gave him a line dinner with Hie view of plying him with overwhelming arguments why ho should sell tjold und crush out the rascals. Those wen: re formers in the same sense that the late re formers in Hamilton County were so. They worn quite ns wicked as Fisk and Gould, Cot bin or HuUcrhYltl.

It Is In brief: Dial not t uly is personal government played out In monarchies, but that family influence will not serve any good purposo with a Chief Magis trate; thai in this position till familles of hon est people must bo on tho sumc footing; that Ilm Grants aro not in tho least better than nther folks because he Is President, but are rallier to be dis cri initiated against; that his personal friends must bo Judged by their fit ness rather 1 htm their friendship. If he can learn this lesson speedily, und give evidence of Ids Increase of Knowledge, the people will lie swift lo forglvo the errors already com m it Led; but If he remains in this particular udull tcholur, tho degree of popular impatlenco that lie must encounter may at least surprise him a ?Ood deal.

Tho tppolntment of military ofllccrs to purely civil service in In itself n praiseworthy custom.

A Washington dispatch, publl&'tcd In uno of tlie New York papers, quoting President Orant as having spoken In very contemptuous terms of Flsk, Jr., brings out the cheeky Prince ol Erie in the following characteristic communicallon : TO THE EDITOR OF THE WORLD. Sin?In the Washington correspondence of the Herald this morning, I read the following para graph: "in the course of conversation your correspon dent remarked upon the bold attempt of Mr. Flsk to obtain from tl_o President advance In format ion regarding the Ilnaiichil policy of the government. Tlio President's reply was substantially as follows: (\V ' I don't know but I should h eve felt insulted I v'such n proposal hud It come from any other but a person like Flsk.

" ^ My IIrst feeling on muling this was naturally ont of Indignation, that a gentlchian occupying the highest station In the laud should use such langiii.gc concerning one yflth whom be had maintained friendly rclnnyii1?, and from whom he had received nothing f?t ucis of kind ness, a Hut, after a moment's reflection, I felt that I was mistaken In attaching the u-ust Importance to this statement.

On (he very occasion on which this Herald In ventor pretends that Ornerai (irant got so In sulted, our conversation was most agreeable and lasied nearly an hour. Having thus shown the absurdity of the Herald story. It is not necessary Hint It should receive any further notice. Oeuernl tirant cannot be ex pected to publish a disavowal of all language that sensational reporters may put In his mouth ; and us In; has never contradicted one of my state ments hitherto, 1 shall not trouble him to con linn this In detail, though he will undoubtedly do so, if called upon.

"Very much pleused, Indeed," replied Layayette; "but I never saw anything more of my horses." the u re at roston lottery. A Neat Swindle?Tlio Man who Drew the Coliseum Pays only Sixteen Cents for his Ticket. A Roston dispatch of Monday, to he New York Tribune, says : The man who drew tho Coliseum lias ob tained a sudden notoriety which will probably bo as brief as It Is intense, though It may In crease his trado by advertising his wares. All through S:iiunlay afternoon and Sunday lite pcoplo were In a fcvctlsh state of anxiety to know tho name of I he fori miste man; and now that It has been ascertained that his name Is J. Ii. Magulre. and that ho Is a "lumber dealer," tho matter lias a suspicious lnok. An Investi gation showed, und It Is publicly announced, that he, will) others, entered Into an arrange ment with tho Coliseum Association to pur chase, on Saturday morning, all of the tickets which had not been sold at that time. It Is said that he paid sixteen cents apiece for the tickets, purchasing for that sum about flvo thousand, while thousands of people had paid one dollar apiece for all that hud been sold pre vious to that time. It Is said that "other par ties" who wore in partnership with Mr. Ma gulro will have their sliaro of tho $10,000, for Urbich tho lumber will sell, If taken by tho builders; but as Mr. M. Is it '.umber dealer, ho will probably dispose of I In component parts of the structure to much belter udvantago In bis own lumber yard. Much*lndlgnatlon Is cxnivsscd among Die disappointed tlckou holders, who tiro conversant with tho fuels and a management which would sell one ticket for one dollar itud another for sixteen cent* Is denounced In unmeasured terms. As It was drawn by a lumber dealer, or by n I lug In which n lumber dealer Is the central nguro, tho public mind is unanimous In con sidering tho whole lottery o "put up Job." . Not many people will go for the lessor prizes, wh!ch consist of small pieces of decoration, setters and chairs. Visitors during i lie Jllblloo Will remember Ihn wooden cimirs mid wooden set tees which had been itniirovlsetl for the occa sion, und which arc worth just their weight In kindling wood, as no one wants a souvenir or a Jubilee whoso lust chapter luu* boon an Igno minious lottery.
