Universities.
Wb do no share in what seems to be a gene
ral opinion, that the fewer universities wo have
and the more liberally they are endowed the
better the interests f education aro subserved;
at least we do not share in all of it. In a re
public, and, above all, in a republics like ours,
embracing probably every shade of character
and habit of thought, there is need, we think,
of as many colleges as the people are willing
cordially to support one in each State, if pos
sible. If all the endowments which havegone
to found new Universities throughout Pennsyl
. Tarda endowments large enough to be bene
fioial to an established University, but barely
Sufficient to enable a new one to maintain the
credit of a school if all the3e endowmont3
had been given to any one college, we would
have to-day, in deed and in truth, a University
worthy of Pennsylvania. It is the mistake
of gentlemen who have money to bestow upon
education, that they are willing to give a hun
dred or two hundred thousand dollars to lay
an inefficient and insecure foundation which
shall bear their name, but they hesitate to con
tribute any sum towards strengthening founda
tions laid already. We see the sudden
rise of colleges professing to give their stu
dents the benefit of a full University
course and its degree of Bachelor of
Arts, when their entire endowment is
probably insufficient to comfortably support
three ohairs In any University in Germany.
Americans know how to give to benevo
lence, to trade, and to politics, but the science
of giving to education, which has attained such
perfection in England and over the continent
of Europe, is as yet in its infancy among us.
We are too prone to consider ourselves and
Our own glory before the true interests of the
community we desire to benefit, and thus
muoh of our seed is sown in stony places,
and its fruit is insignificant, short-lived, and
unsatisfactory. We point to the educational
system of our own State as witness of the truth
of what we say. What a wilderness of col
leges it Is I : How many half-reared structures,
how many Aladdin's towers are awaiting com
pletion, with the difference that his struc
ture wanted but a window, while these are
destitute of respectable foundations I What a
. mistake in those worthy gentlemen, so zealous
to lay many foundations, and not content to
build upon and insure foundations already
laid t Let us hope that the future benefactors
of learning in this State will be progressive
and disinterested enough to recognize and rec
tify it. If Lafayette is to be the University of
Pennsylvania, be it Lafayette; if Lehigh, be it
Lehigh; if Gettysburg, or the Art De
partment of our Medical University
here, be it even so. Wherever the
University of our State 6hall be esta
blished, let it be established; let its
foundations be secure, immovable, independent
of all scholars' fees, with the best intellectual
material that can be procured generously sup
ported, and the whole edifice one to which a
' Pennsylvanian can point with pride and say
"her degree is worth something." It seems
to us the existence of any other than such a
one is a negative injury to education. It
receives into its bosom men who, with strong
talent and zeal for study, very quickly cease
to exert themselves when they find there is no
incentive to industry, and that honors and
degrees can be taken as well without as with
a great painstaking. It has an entire college
roll of ninety or a hundred students, when it
ought to have, and would have if it was worth
anything, seven or eight hundred, and even a
thousand. Men who become great after gradu
ating at such an institntion owe little of it, it
may be supposed, to their Alma Mater. If
they die rich they are little inclined to leave a
rkh legacy to a parent that has been anything
but alma to them, even if, indeed, they have
wA by that tiiue forgotten all about her. And
ttrug to nay, through all this coldness

found that the elLoiuuoy of the Cvliege would
be in any degree iuorwud by the gift, ao ap.
plied. As for us, we are free to ijgr that the
system of a voluntary course commends itself
to us by every possible argument of education.
And yet we know of many, and the best
American Colleges, that have no such system,
and are very efficient, according to the present
theme of College instruction, without it
Yale, for instance, and Princeton. When any
Board of Trustees have their professorships so
'well endowed that they can plaoe the
mnt talent In every one of them, we
heartily eihort and praise the effort to
eiilarife their sphere of aseruiness ana lnnu
euoe; but when large endowments are needed
for trnnKthenlng the professorships wlilon lie,
and always have laid, at the base of a college
course, we doubt the policy of Incurring ex
penditures In any new direction. If we are
not mistaken, uch Is the case with the
Ut.lrert.lty of Pennsylvania. For nearly a hun
4ed ears it Ua Ua w elitonu Pfm on
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY,
of those iusuflioient endowraonta given by
somebody or sevoral somebodies long sinoe
dead, to which nobody ever made any sensible
addition. It is an Aladdin's tower waiting
these many years for some kind hand to
bestow upon it the oharaoter and vim
of a living University. Its many pro
vosts have come and gene; its professors
have lived, died, and resigned in their chairs;
it has graduated its petty classes of eighteen
and twenty, and the world ha3 rolled on none
the better and none the worse for its iufluence.
This should not be the record of a hundred
years. What, amid all the turmoil and bustle
of existence; all the nervous hurrying on of
the tide of life to newer worlds; all the deaths
of time-worn fallacies and births of new and
living truths; all the overthrows of empires
and kingdoms; all the changes in State and
Church; all the growth of the human soul and
mind an engine bearing the name of Educator
should remain where its founder left it a hun
dred years ago 1 Benefactors of education do
not seem to recognize it as a legacy for which
they were bound, in the interests of learning,
to provide, before seeking newer fieldd of en
terprise; they simply left it where it was.
Without proper life,. it carries on the mecha
nism of university forms.' Without proper
spirit are its public examinations, at which few
ever attend.
We hail, therefore, the movement of the
present Board of Trustees to awake this Hip
Van Winkle of a hundred years. True, the
movement has been made before and failed;
but no matter, let them try once again. livery
dollar spent on an established institution is
worth a hundred given to a new, unstable
scheme, which a hundred years hbnee will be
in the same condition. Let the money be
expended rather upon the liberal endowment
of chairs essential to a usual college course,
and upon whatever apparatus the University
may need, than upon the creation of
French and German professorships. Let the
studies for a university course of four years be
fully and explicitly laid down, and every room
so maintained that it will not be neoessary to
put aside or assume any branch of learning,
according as a prolessor may resign or one
be appointed to auy department. Let her be
perfectly independent of all tuition fees, that
examinations may be publio and aa essentially
a test of merit as is possible in our institutions
of learning.
These are the necessities of auy first-class
college. And what are those of the many
colleges throughout our Union, founded and
cared for like her 1 Will the people support,
consolidate, or abolish ? What shall we say
about our own State, our own city f Let us
really have a University of Pennsylvania. If
we arc not prepared to make these sacrifices
for the one in our own city, let them be for
some other of our colleges, and then, as quickly
as possible, secure either consolidation or
abolition.
A Poor Paying Policy.
The result of the Tennessee election very
decisively auswers the question of how the
colored citizens of the South will vote. Just
so long as the Democratic party maintains its
present attitude of hostility to impartial suf
frage, nothing else can be reasonably ex
pected than that the colored citizens, wherever
they have votes, will array themselves en
masse against that party. They would be
foellsh if they did not. The colored citizens
of Tennessee would be infatuated to vote for a
party that seeks to disfranchise them. So
the probability is that the Democratic party,
for the sake of keeping the comparatively
small number of colored men at the North
from the exercise of the elective franchise for
a few years, will deliberately sacrifice the con
trol of nearly every Southern State.
There was a time in the history of the De
mocratic party when it would not have been
guilty of stupidity like this. But that was when
it was actuated and inspired by truly democra
tic ideas, and when its leaders were men of
sagacity and foresight. Now it has discarded
its ancient principles, and its leaders are
"blind leaders of the blind."
When slavery was overthrown In this
country, it must have been apparent to every
reflecting mind that the freedman would soon
become a citizen. The idea that we could per
manently Lave a class of inhabitants, born on
the soil, paying taxes, doing military duty,
and sustaining all the duties and responsibili
ties of citizenship, without enjoying its fran
chises, was absurd. The thing was impossi
ble. The true course, therefore, for the Demo-,
crats was to have at once accepted the situa
tion, and by graciously conceding what it was
inevitable the colored citizens would other
wise soon achieve, have left the door open to
secure their support. Instead of this, the
Democrats have fought the enfranchisement of
the colored citizen at every step, and have suc
ceeded in arraying nearly a half-million
of voters in solid phalanx against their party.
And they have done this without gaining
thereby a single substantial advantage. The
anti-negro cry has ceased to have any influ
ence upon the people. It has beoome com
pletely worn out a fit subject for sneers and
jokes. There never was an instance of a great
party's making a more complete failure in any
given line of policy. Its statesmanship has
descended to that low plane where the Rev.
Petroleum V. Nasby is its fittest and most
complete exponent.
Rents have taken a tumble In New York.
The World says that landlords who about the
first of May last, with characteristic tenacity,
held on to the old prices, and even In many
instances added on a hundred dollars or so, are
now quite satisfied to dispose of their empty
houses at ten and even twenty per cent, below
the prices of 18GG. We notice more places to
let in this city than for a long time past.
W liabk from forwarders that the new
wheat crop la coming, forward rapidly.
Old Issues and New Ones.
Ooa Democratlo contemporary asserts that the
Republicans are raising "the old war issues,"
and that "the people are callod upon to aot as
if time had stood still for the past two years."
To which we reply that it is the Demooraoy
that Insist upon fighting over old issues, and
who call upon the people to aot as if time had
stood still not merely for two years, but for
seven years. Our contemporary still fights Us
political battles as though slavery were yet
alive, as though no great war had been fought,
no grand revolution in favor of freedom and
human progress achieved. The Republicans
are ready to go forward to new issues to
tariffs, currency, publio improvements, and
the like but the Democrats insist upon being
whipped a few more times on the great funda
mental questions of human rights, and we
suppose we shall have to gratify them. The
old issues will be fully settled in this country
when every man enjoys equality brjore the law.
When the Democrats are willing to live up to
that primal prinoiple of demooracy, then new
issues will be in order, but not before.
The Dilierence.
Our -Democratic contemporary quotes some
pretty hard sayings of Parson Brownlow in the
days "before the flood," when he was a pro
slavery man. We believe that Governor
Brownlow does not pretend to justify or de
fend himself for his course at that time, any
more than the Apostle Paul justified his early
persecution of the Church. But the joke of
the thing is, that so long as he maintained
those sentiments, and was a , bitter, rampant
pro-slavery champion, our contemporary
thought he was all right. It is because he has
seen the error of his ways, and is now trying
to atone for his pro-slavery follies by an
honest and consistent devotion to free princi
ples, that he has become obnoxious to his
Democratic censors.
In tub mountain counties of Tennessee,
where there are scarcely any negroes or dis
franchised Rebels, the Republican majority is
about the same a3 the Union majority was in
1861. That tells the Story. The contest is
viitually the same that it was then.
Wb iiavkx't soon the conservatives look so
crestfallen as they do now since Lee's sur
render in the spring of ISO'S. The Union vic
tory in Tennessee is too much for them. Pa
tience, gentle souls I
Kosf-uTH has beeu unanimously chosen to
represent the city of Waitzen in the Hunga
rian Diet. The voice of the great orator may
now be heard once more in defense of the
rights of his native land.
The Consebvativks are enraged with the
negroes for voting the Republican ticket in
Tennessee. They used to feel the same way
when the negroes helped to whip the Rebels
during the war.
Andrew Johnson's own town and county
gave a large Republican majority. What does
he think of the people now ?
Tub Cretans are reported to have achieved
several victories recently over the Turks.
Confciknce Monet. The New York Times
thu9 discourses on the origin oi the term "Con
science Money," adding a lew pertinent remarks
upon petty pickings: "General Spinner re
ceived another remittance of 'conscience
money' the other day $150 from a repentant
ex-volunteer officer. This expressive term of
'conscience money' has now come to pass cur
rent as part of the common coinage of our
language. It would be Interesting to know
how and when it first came into use; whether
it was the invention of some contrite evil-doer
to express the 6barp pang that wrung his
withers on returning ill-gotten gains, or of
some astounded official who received remit
tances Inexplicable except on the ground of a
'smitten conscience.' It is a pictorial phrase
at all events, which makes one think of a hag
gard sinner, sleepless on a rumpled pillow; and
the same wretch at daybreak stealthily thrust
ing, when no one is near, into the gas-post mail
box a packet lined with greenbacks, super
scribed to 'The United 8tates Treasury at Wash.
Ington.' At all events, during the last two years
there must have come into the Treasury between
ten and twenty thousands of conscience money,
made up chiefly ot driblets of a dollar, a few
scores or hundreds of dollars, and rarely of a
sum large enough to be apparently worth the
stealing. We fancy, however, that people re
store petty pickings more easily than great ones,
and that though it be as positive an infraction of
the moral law (as we are constantly reminded In
infancy) to steal a pin as to steal a pound, yet
if conscience demand the restoration of the pin,
most men obey her gentle behest more promptly
and gracefully than when Bhe urges the giving
up ot a million." ,
Thb Latest Harvest Advices. Regarding
the foreign and domestic harvests, the New York
Tribune says: "Our latest advices from Europe
bring bad news of the crops. The harvest in
France threatens to be much below the average,'
and In Portugal the vineyards, which furnish
the principal support ot extensive districts, are
seriously affected by disease. In nearly all parts
of oui own country, however, the agricultural
prospects, notwithstanding the wet summer, are,
extremsly cheering, and without a perceptible
drag upon o lr own store we can make up the
deficiencies of Europe. We have taught the
Old World couutries the aits of war and peace,
and set them many a good lesson In politics.'
Now and not for the first time either we are
going to feed them.'"
Exemption vuou Cholbba in New Yobk.
The Tribune of to-day refers to the absence of
cholera from New York city, and says: "Our
exemption, until the 1st of August, from the
attacks of epidemlo cholera, has been the more
noticeable from the fact that that dread disease
has been raging lu different portions of our own
country as well at in foreign lands. The South
western cities have suffered heavily from this
cause, and from Memphis aud the towns of ar
off Kansas we have the report of many deaths.
One year ago the deaths from cholera In this
rlty and Brooklyn were from thirty to forty per
day, nad tUa Tribune said, 'Cholera m u epl-
domic Is rapidly upon the Increase In this city
and upon the Islands In the East river.' That
we have not the same record to msko to-day is
duo to Providential care, and not to a healthful
condition of cither our tenement-bouses or our
public streets. The Board ol Health are doing
all thdawJiiKtlGes them in dotnir to cleanse the
rookeries where humanity Is packed like her
ring in a box; but for the purification of our
thoroughlares we must look to other officials."
