The President Has Accepted An

tion to attend the exeicises of the commencment at Harvard College, and will arrive in Boston June 26. Well, President Hayes has removed Marshal Pitkin of Louisiana, and oommissioned Jack Wharton as his sucoessor. Butler's letter did the job. James Russell Lowell has boen appointed Minister to Spain, ex-Congressman Kasson taking the Austrian uiÍ8sion. The seleotion of Mr. Lowell is a good one. The Third Assistant Postinaster-General, Hon. E. W. Barber, of this State, has resigned. He don't like the civil service reform polioy of the Administration, - or its Southern polioy either, we suspect. The Adrián Times says that Gov. Croswell recently received a letter from a woman asking him to give her " a full and free divorce " from her hnsband and children. She was without money to fee lawyers. The First National Bank of Adrián has decided to eurrender its charter anc re-organize as a State bank. lts stock holders and managers think they see more money in operating under the State laws than they can make unde the restrictions of the national banking law. He has his reward : Clark Wag goner, of Toledo, for a long-time con neoted with the Commercial of tha city, and who wanted to be postmaste under Grant but could n't, has been ap pointed collector of internal revenv nnd will enter into office July 1. Ii ni i-;iin is any conñdence to b placed in the Detroit dailies, the alder inen of our noighboring citr are a cbeap set. Just think of buying th majority of the Common Council wit] a handful of street railway tickets And that is really the meaning of the talk about the refusal to order th " bob-tail cars " to carry conductora. The Supreme Court of Arkansas ha j ust confirmed the decisión of a lowe court holding a certain railroad act un constitutional, and bonds to the amoun of $16,000,000, issued under it in 1869 illegal. Now let a non-resident bond kolder sue in the United States Court and he'll get his money. In these modern days a State court don't amoun to shucks. For tiiree years in sucoession - Ma; 31, 1875, June 29, 1876, and June 3 1877 - Cornell University has had a student drowned at just about the same point in Fall Creek. Each studen was drowned about 6 p. in., each was a Sophomore, eaoh was an editor-elect of the Cornell Review, and each a member of the Christian Association. A singular chain of coincidenoes. The fine steamer E.. N. Hice, of the Detroit and Cleveland line, took fire at her wharf on Sunday evening last, and was damaged to the extent of $40,000, - her cabin and furniture being destroyed. Insurance $25,000. Repairs will be immediately commenced, and it is hoped to have her in running order by the Fourth of July. Meanwhile the new and elegant steamer Pearl will take her place in the line. On TüESDAT evening last „the Manhattan Club, New York, gave a brilliant reception in honor of Hon Samuel J. Tilden, Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Gov. Robinson, and Lieut. Gov. Dorsneimer. Many prominent Demócrata from different States were present. Messrs. Tilden, Hendricks, Robinson, Dorsheimer, and Senator McDonald, of Indiana, each made brief speeches. That of Gov. Hendricks was exceedingly happy. Gov. Hondrioks and wife sailed for Europe on Wednesday, to be absent about three months. Vanderbilt has returned from his brief trip to Europe, and the reporters and interviewers are not very successful in inducing him to teil them what he went for or what lie accomplished. One of them did draw this out of him : " One of the chief reasons I had for going to Englaad was to see the Derby, and I feel that the sight alone of 300,000 people at a race was in itself worth a trip to Europe to see." So far but one result of his trip is known : the cutting of fares from Chicago to New York by his order cabled from London, and the public must wait on his pleasure for further results. Perhaps one of them will ba a New York Central staamship, line and perhaps not. Gail Hamilton does n't speak for brother-in-law Blaine for the same reason that one interpreter of Soripture said Balaam's ass spoke, "because Balaam was a stuttoring man and couldn't." Blaine has full command of his vocal organs and can " shoot off his mouth " at the least provocation, or in more appropriate language make a pyrotechnic display at pleasuie - combining invective, sarcasm, and wit in equal or unequal proportions. No, Blaine is silent from choico not necessity, and Gail is pnlling his chestnuts out of the fire experimentally, - just to feel the public pulse you know. And she does it vigorously and spitefully. Go it, Gail. Minister Pierreponx not only apes the nobility in his desire for a coat of arms, but, according to the London World, " spreads himself " in suoh a way as to make himself a target for burlesque. That paper says : " Mr. Pierrepont really should modorate his transports of gratitude for hospitalities received. He has already caused a serious riso in the prices of poultry and American beef, and his cook must be half dead with work. There is no sleeping within a mile of Cavendish Square for the rattle of carriages and the sound of riotous living." It has n't taken four years to exhaust the republioan blood in Sir Edward'a veins. If Senator Kirkwood is a represon tative lowa Republican it is ver; evident that thn lowa Republicana are not the most cordial supporters of the President' Southern policy. Having been w-ritten to for his opinión personal ly of it, and also for his advice to the coming State Convention, he gingerl; responds : " Any aotion by the Republioan State Convention, either approring or disapproving the President's policy, would be untimely and unwise." He finds the unwisdom not in the policy itself, but in the faot that it does no commend itself to the popular Republi oan heart, for did it so commend itsel he would not write " it is evident tha an attempt to pass any resolution on the subject would produce división an ilissension in the convention, and an; such resolution, if passed, would not be held as binding by those who did no favor it." He oonsiders the President' action as final, so far as it goes ; warns tiioso who dissent frora it that " the; cannot reverse it "; concedes that th President is " honest in bis intantions (Butler and Ben Wade and Zack Chand Ier would respond " heil is pa ved with honest intentions ") ; but as to the re sult of his policy, says : " I confess I m not very hopeful - my fears of failur are greater than my hopes of success. He prooeeds to discuss the polio; somewhat at length, and does not con ceal his opinión that it was the individ nal and official duty of the Presiden " to decido whether Chamberlain o Hampton was the lawful Governor o South Carolina - whethet Packard o Nicholls was the lawful Qovernor o Lou8iana." He asks : " Was it not hi duiy under the Constitution and th law to decide these very questions ? " I inay have been, but Senator Kirkwooc certainly fails to point out the consti tntional provisión which makes th President the judge in a contested gub ernatorial election in South Carolina, or Louisiana, or any other State. W had supposed that State courts, actin under State laws, had jurisdiction in such cases, and we are still of th opinión that there has been too uiuc interferenoe already from Washington Gov. Kirkwood evidently is n't in favo of the Hayes policy. If the Legislatura ofMichigan wer in Bession, and if the average legislato had the capacity to put this and tha togother, we would commend to his can did consideration the tollowing brie itoms : "ThO Uuiversity of. Virginia has received during the pust year, donatious of $'2!6,0ü( besitlus books aud the lull equipment oí gymnasium." " By a recent bequest Yale College receive $6,000 for the library and $15,000 to iounc three scholarships, the recipients of which wi. be chosen from the next three classes tha gradúate." The Legislature grudgingly doled ou to the University $47,000, strangled on department which it oreated two year before, spitefully reduced the salarie (or the appropriations therefor) of two professors, in a sort of bull-dozing wa; advised the Regents to reduce the othe salaries, and then imagined it had don a big thing for an institution which has given the State a wider and batter fam than any other institution in it. Th injustice of this penuriousness is founc in the single fact that the students in the strangled School of Mines, brough here by the direct solicitation of the Legislature of 1875, are driven out b; the Legislature of 1877. The University raust suffer, and that permanently by such unwise legislation, and its bes professors will be more than likely to follow the exiled students. Tuis is a type of the coniplimenta the Detroit Post daily throws at the head of its President " Nature wisely provided that we could not all be bom in Ohio, so that there may be somebody left to attend to the ordinary non-politioal business of this continent." And this is a day later : " Gov. Hendricks made a speech at his farewell reception, at Indianapolis, last week, in which he said that he was just as certainly elected Vice-Prosident as Blue Jeans Williams was eleoted Governor of Indiana. Possibly; we have always had our doubts about Blue Jeans being really elected. But he was counted in, and Hendricks was n't." Exact ly I "Counted in." That is n't the way a satisfied " organ " puts it. The Post in its happiest moods does n't render such uncertain sounds. The Lansing Iiepubliean has compiled a table showing the number of times each Senator and Representative was absent without leave at the opening of the 95 daily Beaeions, also the numbor of absences of each member on a cali of the roll for the yeas and nays, - which in the Senate was 774 times, and in the House 887 times. The reoord of the Washtenaw members is as follows : Senator Burleigh - absent without leave, 3 tiraos ; on roll oa.ll, 90 times. Representativo Allen, - absent without leave, 4 times ; on roll cali, 22 1 times. Representativo Norris, - absent without leavo, 5 times ; on roll cali 292 times. Representativo Sawyer - absent without eave, 2 times ; ou roll cali 442 times. And their reoord was better than the averago. The Adrián correspondent of the Deroit Tribune, writing under date of Tune 11, says: Cool rains for the past uw days have been the salvation of the wheat erop in this section, which had egun to suffer from the dronth. Re)orts from townships show a larger acreage put to wheat than last year, and ivery prospect now for a surprisingly ine erop. No trouble from insects is reported. Wool at present comes in slowly, although transaotions are larger han at surrounding points ; the price or choice ranges from 30 to 37 l-2o. When the bulk of the olip comes in it will undoubtedly be below formor igures. Ten thousand eels wereput in Gognac jako and 5,000 in St. Mary's yesterday. ?ish Commissioner Jerome assures the Sportsmen's Club that he will furnish ;hem with fish liberally so long as they will protect them, and he has no reason O complain of them as yet. He says hat Barry County cannot get a fish rem the State for the reason that they will not afford them proteotion. The ame reason prevonts many other parts f the State from getting their stipply. -Battle Creek Journal.
