Grant’s whole cabiuct is teeming with fraud and corruption; around, about on every side grins, the “monster of hideous mien.’’ It Grant is implicated thereiu he is a villain, and not fit to be President, if ignorant there* of, he is too dirilcct and not vigilant enough to occupy the Chid Executive Chair. Should there be a fallacy in this syllogistic dilemma, it will perhaps be exploded in the third term. ability, the interest of our whole people and of our native State and believing that no higher duty devolved upon ns as a legislator, than that of looking well to the cause of ed ucation, -iwe gave much studyaud consider ation to the past history, the present status mtd'thc future prospect of our State Univer sity, seeking all the while to make it a special object of our legislation. To what extent we may have succeeded in our purpose, how 'hr we may have conceived the true wants and necessities of the institution, or whether our course lias been wise, prudent and for the best interest of the University, we dare not say.

We have such abiding faith in the unbounded interest which these noble Georgians feel in their Stau University, us to forbid our acceptance of any such view of the matter, nor do vve suppose that tbeGovernor was«so impressed when he made the point of objection, not* withstanding it is susceptible of such construc tion. In justice to ourselves we must stute iu this connection that the bill as |ms- sed by the General Assembly was not such as we desire or sought to have passed, nor was it in several mqs cts acceptable to the friends and suppqrters at the measure. The bill as it passed the House of Representa tives provided for the npimiiiimciii of the new Board of Trustees by tho Governor, which provision would have left no ground for most of the points of objection, at least for the most plausible objections, raised by the Chief Executive. It Is but just, further to state, that the Senate amendments were accepted by the friends of the bill to meet the objections <of the opponents thereof, which objections were mainly based upon the above cited provision of the original bil), and which opponents, however, after the amendments had, in defercnceto their view’s, been accepted, failed to withdraw their op* positiou. Thus having briefly refered to the Gover nors position in regard no this bill, we will now content ourselves - wii h simply present* ing what we honestly believe to be a justifi cation of our course iu this matter and what we concieve to be the duty of the present . Board of Trustees, since the almost unan imous verdict of the General Assembly, which verdict, it may be fairly claimed, conics with no ue;-ertain sound from the whole people of Georgia through thrir Repre sentative*,leaving the Governor’s communica tion to answer for itself and the public to determine as to whether His Excellency acted justly, wisely and for the best interest of the University.
