not lose much cane and that he made
about CW hogsheads of sugar. The
place wastirM owned and opened by
Morgan L.'Smith who sold it to Mr.
Bass. Clarified eugar was manufac-
tured for some. time when the stub
ble was plowed up all the sugar ma
chinery laid aside and cotton gins
substituted and the whole planta-
tion was planted in cotton. When
the war ended and the slaves were
freed raiding cotton was considered
impracticable and" cane waa again
planted and it has ever since been a
sugar farm but the clarifying pro-
cess was abandoned. Mr. Tiola is
from Louisiana and has long been a
surar planter. When he took charge
there were about 250 acres in cane
and about 500 acres in all in cnltiva
tion. There are how 1150 in cultl
vatlon 650 being in cane and 110
more acres are matted down to "be
planted in the spring. The year ho
took charge he shipped 242 hogs
heads and last year he made 650
and besides this two barrel of mo-
lasses to endu hogshead of sugar
making! .1300 barrels.' Counting
tho molasses at $10 "a barrel and
the sugar at $75 a hogshead there are
over $60000 realized frcm thU crop.

The House Committee on Asy

and In their report they say : .
"In view of the fact that there are

very desirable obiect ot taking suit
able care of all of the insane ot our
state your committee have come to
the conclusion that the means neces-
sary for the attainment of this ob-
ject should now-bo- usedf; and we.
therefore recommend that instead
of $60000. the sum of $120000 bo
appropriated for the erection of ad-
ditional buildinars t and that instead
of $3250 the sum of $7500 be ap
proprlated for furnishing tne same."
Ma. Tbaylob's '.bill proposing to
amend1 tho religious clause in the
public free school law reads ; 33

The committee recommend that

C'Ksua returns place the cotton
crop of li.s't year not including Vir
ginia MUsourl and the Indian Ter-
ritory at 5656.757 bales against a
commercial crop according to the
National Cotton Exchange of 5761-
252 a difference of about 200000
bales The omitted states cover
nearly 50000 bales leaving nearly
150000 to be accounted tor in the
commercial report. The census
professes to get actual production;
the National . Cotton Exchange
gives' the commercial crop deliv-
eries from the cotton belt and the
consumption in the South daring
each year. It ia possible- therefore
in the deliveries of 1879-80 that
100000 bales of the previous year's
growth were included. Thev could
have reached 150000 bales. ;
It ia said that Gen. Garfield con-
templates incorporating in bis in-
augural a special mention of the
South as a section.. ' It is believed
that he will -advert to the educa-
tional statistics of .the South as ob-
tained in the tcneus of 1880' and
take the ground that the social po-
litical and .economic condition of
that section would be materially en-
hanced by the removal of the dense
ignorance which prevails among the
blacks. - If he .does thin it may nat:

i. - A VN1VKRTV SYSTEM. .
There ha boon much discussion of j
laic in educatiuiiaiquarler'. as to
the boot jihin to be adopted lit the;
establishment of a Mate .university.
The legislative i-ouniiitieeo on edu-
cation have produced an admirable
bill providing for (lie inauguration
of a university but the machinery
of such an iuHtiimuin ha? got to be'
put in force nnd It. will take time
and care and experience through a
number of jear.s i iiiuk; it pei b-ct.

an insight into the establishment

institution of learning the Cuiver-
sitv of Virginia. Tie says:
From our American Universities
I shall begin however as you indi-
cate first with a historic sketch ot
the University of. Virginia. This
institution was designed bv Mr.
Jcfl'erson to be the head of a liberal
and broad system of public free
schools sustained and directed by
the state.
Governor Roberts has in his
special message indicated substan-
tially the same plan adding how-
ever the normal school which was
not known as such in the davn of
Mr. Jefferson but provided for lu
tho organization of the university
which has lurnibbcd more real and
earnest teachers than any other
class of graduates. Ithaafuruished
tor colleges alone over 200 profes-
sors besides a multitude of men
neither less able nor less distin
guished who are conducting first-
class academies. - The condition of
free tuition was only granted to
two classes of at udents those pre-
paring lor the- Christian ministry
and thoee preparing tc become
teachers. Tho latter took as an obli-
gation for such free tuition that
they would teach in the
bounds 'of the state lor two
years after leaving the university
So early as 1770 after the separation
from the mother country ilx. Jcner
son with Messrs. Pendleton and
Wythe following the example of
Frederick of Prussia uought to In-
corporate into the codeof the infaat
state even amidst the wasting war
of the revolution a general system
of edneatlop doing luatlco to all
classes alike. The Plan thus pre
sented contemplated three classes of
seminaries i
1. Elementary whools to bo main-
tained at the public ehargo and to
oe rrei! ro ait. .
'2. General -'sch'ook ' correspond
ing to - academies - and col
leges for . the education of
bucU as bad time .means and in-
clination for further culture; these
to be assisted to some extent from
the public treasury but. Supported
chiefly by tuition tee?. These schools
were designed to embrace s
tion in languages ancient and mod
ern natural sciences in au its ae
partraents and philosophy mental
and pom teal. .

Without euuiiic-ratiugnow the spe
cial anct varied sutv)ectf taught in tho
university. I shall sneak of its- orean-
izationwith regard to the govern-
ment discipline ami methods of in
struction the government Is rested
in a rector and visitors appointed
by the governor. These appoint a
faculty ironi whom... annually
chairman i elected. The visitors
appoint thfir own rector as did for
a long time tho facility select their
own chairman. The chairman is
the executive officer of the faculty
The. faculty report to the! visitors
through their -chairman and the vis
itoris to the legislature through their
rector.1 There la a connected chain
of responsibility beautifully illus
trating our- democratic pr republi-
can form of government
.. The chairman rector and jrover-
nor are these heads respectively of
the faculty visitors and legislature.
This idea modified .and adapted to
our form of civil government "was
borrowed partly from the German
universities and also from the Uni-
versity of Pisa Padua and Lyden.
Especially from the latter was de-
termined the small number of visi-
tors at first seven afterwards in-
creased to nine for local purposes.
There la little of Oxford and
Cambridge in ' the- Virginia Uni-
versity and fortunately. . 80 - too.
As you know each- professor
has! charge of what .is termed a
school e g: school of 'Latin or
school -of mathematics and is re-
sponsible foe the method of conduct-
Jug it. This being his . own imme-
diate works of course his wholo
time and employ &Te laid under con-
tribution to make his the most use-
fulnot as compared with any other
school not relatively - but abso-
lutely. The leaching or method of in-
struction here should be especially
noticed not by section wholly as in
the German university.nor by reci-
tationa only as iu the English uni-
versity ( collection oi colleges) of the
tutors but by -a happy and juat
combination of the two. Of course
this exacts of the professor more
labor but still at the time of the in-
auguration of the university it was
necessary unavoidable so as in a
measure to supply the deficiencies
growing out of -a lack of proper
preparatory schools and colleges.
This double method lecture recita-
tion note-book and text-book
study is still necessary lu the pro-
fessional achoola particulsHy. .

the nisciPLixk
of the institution is based on mu-
tual trust and confidence . be-
tween the authorities and the
students. In ail cases manly prin-
ciples of self-control are appealed
to. NO system of snrveiliauc.o is
employed. The regulations arc as
few as possible and tho imposition
of aitiheial restraints is avoided.
The statement of students in all
transactions with the authorities
are received on honor: ana in the
written examinations though the
examiners arc always in the room
when the examination is held
thev relv upon the certificate
which each student . is required to
give with his examination pa
pers to the enect that he has
neither given or received assistance.
Tho good effect of this appeal to the
students' honor and the abolition of
espionage in imbuiuH'the body of
the students with the spirit
of truth and candor anil in pro-
moting a frank and manly inter
course between the students and
professors cannot be loo higly esti-
mated. It cultivates manline'ss.and
rears true men whether for private
or public station.
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES
are in the charge of a chaplain who
is not a university officer but simply
the pastor of the faculty and stu-
dents. The chaplain is elected every
two years from one of the four lead-
ing denominations In the state the
Baptists Presbyterians Methodist
and Episcopalian. Attendance on
the morning prayers and the Sun-
day services is entirely voluntary.
In this connection I mention the plan
proposed by Mr. Jefferson to pro-
vide for lectures on theology con-
sistently with the views of the com-
plete sepration of church and
state. This was to induce the dif-
ferent denominations to found
schools of theology with the univer
sities by offering" to the students of
these schools special advantages in
connection with the university selec
tions and the tree use ot all the cabi-
nets apparatus and libraries. The
enactments extending this invita
tion still remain on .the statute
book but no denomination has
availed itself of it privileges
Failing in this the selection oi the
chaplain was the next best and the
only thing which could be done
Anli while it may be said
with all truth to be free
entirely so from sectarian bias
and ecclesiastical control to have
completely severed Itself from even'
thinaf like church denomination vet
no institution ha3 done more for
the dissemination of sound morality
and Christian piety.
A late chairman of the faculty
said : "The University of Virginia
for fifty years has shown itself to bo
eminently adapted to the wants of
Virtrinia and the Mouth its plan
has been adopted in most of its de-
tails by a number of colleges and
universities. 1 he success of a uni
vorsity is to be estimated bv tho
thoroughness and extent of the
Instruction in specialties and of the
sreneral enlUire whieh it elves: bv
the cultivation through its discipline
of a spirit of truthfulness and man
ly candor by the inculcation through
its authorized religions exercises; a
spirit of earnest worship and rever
ence for religion! by keeping a high
standard of Christian morality and
by the encouragement of Christian
union and activity; in benevolent
enterprises by the' maintenance of a
high standard of scholarship among
the people and by Its vitalizing
power upon all tho institutions sub
ordinate or otherwise which came
within the area ot its influence.
Judged by all these criteria the
University of Virginia with its
broad open elective - system
is a great success.; In tho
last view it is the great cen-
tral heart sending the warm life-
blood through the poble colleges
and high schools wedged to the
humblest primary school within its
borders impressing on all its lifo-
priuciple of thorough honest work.
Nor ia this influence confined to the
state. It has made Virginia the great
school of the south and south-west
and has wielded a powerfuly persua-
sive influence by its example and
through its alumni on the great sec-
tion of the republic."
HABBOR APPROPRIATIONS FOB
TEXAS.
The bill reported from the House
Committee on Commerce recom-
mends the following appropriations
for Improving Texas harbors :
Improving Galveston harbor con-
tinuing operations at outer bar two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Improving Aransas Pass and Bay
up to Rockport and Corpus Christi
eighty thousand dollars.
Improving channel over bar at
month of Braros nver forty thou-
sand dollars-
Improving Pass Caballo Inlet into
Matagorda Bay sixty thousand dol-
lars. - Improving ship channel Galves-
ton Bay fifty thousand dollars.
Improving Neches river three
thousand dollars.
Improving Sabine Pass and Blue
Buck Bar one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
Improving Narrows of Sabine
river above Orange and to deepen
channel at its mouth seven thousand
dollars
Improving Buffalo Bayou: To se-
eure a channel ol one hundred feet
twenty five thousand dollars;
Improving harbor at Brrzos San
Diego seventy-five thousand dol -lars.
-
The Secretary of Warjs directed to
examine Sabine Pass through Sa-
bine lake and river to Orange and
Sabine lake and the Neches river to
Beaumont and to ascertain the cost
and practicability of a deep water
channel from Sabine Pass to Orange
and Beaumont
Thz price of tickets to the inaugu-
ration ball in Washington March 4
has been fixed at five dollars and so
far more have been bought by color-
ed people than by whites. It prom-
ises to be an ngly social affair and
tho aristocracy of the capital display
anxiety as to the result. ; .
Tee New York Chamber of Com-
merce has voted that the Lowell bill
for the establishment of a" uniform
national system of bandruptcy as
amended by the National Board of
Trade should be approved by the
Chamber.

Washington
r ebruary 14 18bl. )
V e have had a narrow escape from
the visitation? of justice and this
storied old Potomac imagined itself
the instrument selected. Vennor
the Great predicted a thaw. 7 The
thaw came not up to the minute
and we derided the prophet- and
laughed Saying: Where is thy
thaw O false prophet!" The derided
one beckoned his familiar to his aid;
and lo the result ! Suddenly when
we least expected itJack Frost gath
ered his lrozen tatters about ms Dine
old legs and fled away to the North
whistling in search of the Jeannette
perhaps. Vennor winked down to
Hazen Hazeu winked back to Ven-
nor and we woke up Saturday
morning to tind that the Potomac
had broken its bounds of ice and
was roaring and rising and coming
down "like a wolf on the fold." And
the sun laughed down at the rivet
and the river laughed up to the sun
like a great uproaring swollen. Fal-
stall ol rivers as it was. . men we
remembered Vennor and we re
membered him with respectful fear.
i ue morning papers gave us a sua-
den disrelish lor our breakfast by in-
forming U3 that the worst was not
yet come that the waters had not
yet reached their highest that the
bridges must go at the next tide;
I : I ; . I. - I A pt!-.;nM
aud it all came trne. The water
rose Saturday until it overflowed
its banks and burst some of the
sewers. A great flood from four to
six feet deep spread itself along that
part of the city south of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue from the President's
back door even to the foot of the
Capitol a distance of at least.a mile.
Stores were flooded property de
stroyed and the citizens of the
southern part of the city cut off from
the rest of the town. Ferry boats
were soon Unurovised. and the street
cars that ventured across carried
their passengers clinging to the roof.
A million will scarcely cover the
losses and a few accidents one or
two of them fatal are credited to the
scare of " Vennor'a thaw but never
theless the irrepressible and pleas
ure-loving Washingtoniana made
almost a gala occasion of it on Sat-
urday afternoon. Pennsylvania AV'
cuue was thronged and at 5 .when
the matinee at the National was
over and the brilliant audience
added its numbers to the crowd
tho scene became extremely - gay
Laughter wai king and his imps
sped up and down the thoroughfare
touching tuousanus or tips-with
hilarity and 1e3t.
Cut what a god-eud was it all fo
the newspaper men I it ever those
pious gentlemen uttered n prayer of
gratitude it wa9 then. A hey were
everywhere taking notes -asking
questions cracking totes and bless
ing their lucky stars ; for Washing-
ton like a field too often ploughed
sown and reaped begins to grow
less trintmi anu the reporter nnas
himself sometimes put to it to find
matters of interest. The National
Capital is the best or. worst (have it
as yon wilt) written up city op the
globe perhaps and a slight dearth
of news items such as threatened
to spread between now :and the In
auguration made the legion of quill
drivers hero congregated tremble.
The question of news for the hungry
man of the nation was becoming
serious here when the rampant old
l'otouiac stepped in to nil it
Apropos of newspaper men and

It is a proverb here that when
once Mr. Piatt takes hold of a man
be it fi martially by the baud or
vindictively bv the $ crufl ol the
neck he never lets go. Nothing is
too good to say of his friend--noth
ing too bitter of his enemy- and
from appearances -''iteration brings
conviction" must be the motto on
his escutcheon. Just now he is
beaming on Texas. Texas has Bur-
prised Mr. Piatt by re-eleoting Mr.
Maxey. Mr. Piatt loves MrMaxey
score one for hia good taste there-
but with "frankness quite i over-
whelming he tells us he did not ex'

The Colored Increase. -
The speculations indulged in a few
years ago over an imagined decrease
in the colored population" of the
South are pretty effectually dissi-
pated by the new census. The fol-
lowing statement shows that popu-
lation in all the former slave states
except Texas for the years 1870 and
1830 together with the increase in
each state during the deoade:

This increase of 1401888 or more
than one-third is surprising when
we reflect that it is a natural in-
crease unaided by immigration.
The white population of the same
btates was in 1370 8813877 ; in 1880
11259713 or about 28 per cent. the
colored increase being 88 1-8 per
cent. If this large increase in the
colored population is not merely
nominal and due to the dafective
census of 1870 then it shows that
the colored race is doubling in the
South every thirty years. . i; L
The Sherman Courier pute it thus:
"Before the advent of newspapers
railroads and the telegraph barn
doors and post-oak trees were the
best that could be afforded for pre-
senting information in bad orthog-
raphy and worse penmanship. Now
people must read plain print that
they may get information rapidly
and easily. The newspapers are tor
that purpose. They are robbed of
the office they were appointed to
fill when the legal information
spoken of is withheld from thenx
and it is a reflection on this age of
enlightenment progress"' and civili-
zation to ignore theniin Rebating'
with any matter gf nubile.; interest:

in Palestine. Not the ancient conn-
trv bevond tbe Mediterranean but

Luderthenew military ariaiiirc-
ment making Washington a garrison
Ipost - noticed inr the - Jiepubluwn !
some time since live batteries ol
ihe Second United States Artillery
will take up permanent quarters in
that city before the 4th of-March.
An order just issued by Gen. Sher-
man will on or before that date
temporarily increase this force with
five batteries from New York har-
bor -and four from the artillery
school at Fortress Monroe. These
fourteen batteries will be reinforced
"for perade purposes on the 4th by
strong detachments from the navy
and mar ine" ciirps "and an in-
definite number of military- men
from difl'erent parts of the country'
These latter are going in-various
shapes by companies battalions
and regiments; audit is said that
Pennsylvania is preparing to send
an 'entire division. So .from present
indications there will . be . more
troops in Washington at .the inau
guration than at any previous time
since the war and Mr. Garfield will
be assisted into the executive chair
by almost as many bayonets as brace
up .European monarccs on corona
tion Occasions. Political clubs and
delegations ot all sorts and sizes
and swarms of visitors from near and
far will swell the show which the
managers announce "will be the
most imposing the Federal - Capital
has ever witnessed."
While the taste which converts
what was intended to be and once
was a simple and impressive cere
monial into a colossal spectacular
performance is open to criticism no
serious objections can be urged to
any feature ot the programmo ex-
cept the military. That ia not only
in bad taste but indirectly estab-
lishes a bad precedent. Americans
formerly took pride in their non-imitation
of monarchial customs espe
cially in everything connected witu
the government. The. soldiers as
sembled In Washington" will e'foe
ble yet significant imitation of one
of ':tho worst of these customs.
Americans i once boasted that the
man elected to their highest office
i m j. a. . ' . . 1
uau sujnuieui protection in me pop-
ular will and required no other.
The soldiers assembled in Washing
ton while not employed in the pro
tection ot Mr. uarneld sug
gest that some snccesor may
need it; suggest the possibil
ity that a time may come when the
presence of soldiers at a presiden
tial inanguration will be an impera-
tive necessity. . What in the present
Instance is intended only to add the
pomp and circumstance ' of brass
buttons and bands to other attrac-
tions opens the door for something
more serious. Hereafter an army
may be gathered at Washington at
any inauguration and a bit of holi
day foolishness used as a us tinea-
tion' for military intimidation. A
free people if lealous of their.free-
dom. can not be too careful In avoid
ing even tho appearance of evil
and when they sanction no matter
on what pretext such a display of
military force; as this they forget
the warnings of history forget
that "eternal vigilance is tho price
or liberty."
! 43u'the4th of March 1801 Thomas
Jefferson rode unattended to the
gate of the Capitol dismounted
tied his horse to the fence went in
and took the oath of office as presi
dent of the United States 1 If such
extreme republican simplicity is in-
consistent' with " modern republi-
canism the representatives of the
latter might at. least afford to dis-
pense with innovations the. influ-
ence of which is more or less harm-
ful: Certainly Jefferson's rnangnra-
' tion 'Waa more' like ' that- of a chief
magistrate of a republic than Gar-
field's will be The one .could only
hive occurred in a republic; the
tither might ocCur in any monarchy
The one reminds us of Home in the
prime of her republican purity ; the
other reminds u of Rome at the be-
f inning of her imperial rottenness
he one was apractical illustration
ot republican principles ; the other
will indicate that these principles
if they' exist at all save iu'name are
hopelessly oufpf fashion. Sf. Louis
