' [From the Auguata Constitutionalist.]
The Presidency of Franklin College—
Rev. C. W. Howard.
The refusal of the Hon. Henry R.
Jaokson toaooept of the Presidency of
Franklin College,having been confulen-
. tially announced, the thought of the
‘Trustees and of nil the friends of that
Institution will naturally be directed'
■towards a successor. The importance
_pf,a good selection cannot be over esti
mated.
The combination of qnalilies which
would eminently adapt one to that re
sponsible station, is so rare, that an opin
ion of its absence in any one, is perfec-
-tiy consistent with very high respect
and admiration ; and, it is without any
feeling of hostility to any former officer
of the college, or towards any gentle-
■man whose name has been proposed for
the offiee, that I beg leavo, through the
medium of the Constitutionalist, to call
‘public attention, and more especially
the attention of the Trustees of Frank
lin College, to an individual who, in the
-opinion of his friends, possesses high, if
not the very highest qualifications, for
the Presidency of that institution—the
•Rev. C. W. Howard, a citizen of the
county of Cass.
Mr. Howard, as all who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance will testify,
is a finished, classical, and belles letters
scholar, an original and profound
thinker, and a vigorous, chaste and pol
ished writer. Judging either by the
matter or tho manner of his orations,
and comparing with a standard, however
elevated, he will be placed in the first
rank of orators, and possesses, besides,
to a degree rarely equalled, the' more
valuable power of pleasantly impar'tirig
knowledge. His familiarity with the
-details of college life and government,
and his large experience in the training
of youthful minds, give him advantages
Which, with equal intellectual attain
ments, might be wanting in another,
while his exquisite taste, his polished
manners, his true gentlemanly bearing,
endear him to the hearts of all who
come Within the sphere of his personal
influence.
The studios of a lifetime, the severe
exorcises of a mind now in full matu
rity and vigor, the lessons of experi
ence at home, confirmed and corrected
by extensive foreign travel and observa
tion , combine to fit him for a station in
Which ho could do honor to himself
and beoome invaluable to the State.
* That he is a native of Georgia, a son
of the South, true to the interest of his
section; that he is widely and favorably
known throughout this and the adjoin
ing States, and that his popularity and
influence are very groat in the populous
and interesting portion of the Com
monwealth in which he resides, are con
siderations of minor importance, but by
no means to be overlooked in tho se
lection (soon to be mad*,) on which
will depend the prosperity of the Uni
versity, and the welfare of the State.
We unite heartily with the Chronicle
& Sentinel in its cordial endorsement of
-the recommendation made in the fore
going communication. It was our pur
pose at some suitable time to make the
game suggestion, but we are now glad
that one so much better qualified has
anticipated us.
Wo announced a few days ago that
Hon. Henry It. Jackson had declined
to accept the Presidency of Franklin
College to which he was elected last
fall by the Senatus Aoadomicus. In
looking around for his successor it oc
curred to us that no man had qualifica
tions better suited to that position than
Rev. C. W. Howard. They have been
briefly enumerated by the writer whose
article we publish. Wo could not add
one word to what he says. It is only
left for us to express our entire appro
bation of his suggestion the manner in
which it is made and tho reasons upon
which it based. Wo earnestly hope the
proper authorities will carry it out, and
that Mr. Ilowurd may be made the
President of our State University.
planter, professional man, mechanic,
merchant, or of 1 whatever employment
soever lie may be, let him be good of
his kind; never forgetting that to bo
an officer it is absolutely necessary that
one should bo a gentleman. It would
be bad policy, however, for any com
pany to select its officers from any one
walk of civil life. It will add to tho
efficiency of any company to have va
ried information possessed by its offi
cers, us well as members.’’
The following remarks upon uniform
ore very appropriate when taken in con
nexion with the resolutions passed
last week by the non-intercourse moot-
tag:
What uniforms shall wo adopt? is a
question which has been, or is about to
be asked, by at least ten thousand men,
who have recently, or who nre about
forming themselves into volunteor com
panies in our .Southern .States.
Wondering how it is that men can bo
willing to depend for their uniforms on
the very people against whose aggres
sions they are arming, we can ask our
selves the question: how is it that there
should bo such a dillerenco in the judg
ment of persons doing tho some thing
with tho same feelings and for the same
purpose ? Leaving out of view the ques
tion, whether it is right to depend for
uniforms, not to say arms, on those who
seem determined to become our ene
mies, we ask whether it i3 mere mat
ter of taste, one of no importance,
what uniforms our volunteers shall
adopt? We think not, and for several
reasons.
Tho first, is the importance wo attach
to the encouragement of tho produc
tion of those tilings by a people which
aro essential for their defence.
This would claim a preference for a
Southern made artielo; and wo have
n&ver seen better goods for soldiers Wear
than some of tho Rock Mill cloth, The

genitiveness on the ice. and we saw a

“Hello, old cock I” sang out that rag

we had skated, in our peculiar style fif

up behind, and we sat down with our
tired head pillowed in his lap—and
swearing at us, when it was all his own
fault 1 IIow eold tlie ice was there too !

man-Greccian nose, on the cold julip

counted damages.

seven lattcral and one fronteral bumps
on ice; one immense fissure in as hand
some a pair of ten dollar cossimercs as
a man ever put his legs in; one rupture
in tho knee, extending to the bone; four
buttons from our vest, a “fragmented”
watch crystal, ond a back-ache, big
enough to divide among the children of
Israel. If you catch us on the smooth,
glossy, chilly, freezing, treacherous, de
ceitful, slippery, und slip-uppery ice

Voluntccr Officers and Uniforms.
For the benefit of new corps being or
ganized in Rome, we take an excellent
idea or two from the Charleston Murcury
Upon the subject of the requisite quali
fication for officers, it says:
“Firstand foremost, should come your
man of military education, and, if pos
sible, of experience. The military pro
fession furnishes a field in which men of
ordinary capacities may labor for some
years without exhausting tho soil; and
notwithstanding the contrary opinion
held by some men ot talent, there havo
been a few practial men, liko Napoleon,
for instance, who thought officers could
only be made by much study. Besides
the knowledge of an art, mistakes in
the practice of which must be paid for
with death and suffering, tho education
of these men will have tended to make
them firm, intropid, prudent, modest,
systematic and prompt in the dischorgo
of duty. They will have been taught
how to command, by having learned
how to obey. Even in the cose of our
first favorite', wo would not forget that
men hare gone through military
schools, perhaps even through West
Point itself, very little impressed by
their advantages. Next should come
those who, without tho opportunities
S thorough education, have, from ta
xation, given such attention as they
could. to military subjects.
men cannot be found who have
been educated for a particular profes
sion, or who have.* natural turn for its
requirements, the next best thing to
be'We. where subh knowledge or t*l-
ontJ4 Wonted, it seems to us, would be
to select men Vrlio habitually do well
tfliathrer they undertake. A good
for war was concerned, very much as it
had found them, duo allowance being
made for the natural tendency which
many things have to retrogade when not
advancing.” ^ ^ ^
Case oi* Will. A. Choice.
Judge Holt, of the Middle Circuit, in
passing sentence on Thos. Jones found
guilty of voluntary manslaughter at the
last term of Richmond Superior Court,
used the following languago :
"Your drunkucss lias been the plea
that has saved your life. At your form
er trial, this court hold that drunken
ness, fur from being an extenuation or
mitigation of your crime, was an aggra
vation of it. And it is most fortunate
for you that you found u court to which
you appealed entertaining a different
opinion “
It will be remembered that in the
trial of Wm. A. Choice, Judgo Bull de
livered the same charge to the Jury
that Judge Holt did in tho case of
Jones, and Clioice hasuppcaied to tho
Supreme Court. According to tho de
cisionof Hint tribunal, alluded to, a
trial mint be grunted, and Clioice can
not again be convicted of murder
Pleasure ul Skating.
Perhaps Briok Pomery, local of the
Milwaukie News, cannot give his views
of skating, and then again perhaps he
can. It is the best pen-and-ink portrait
of skating that we have seen :
Right beneath one of our windows,
from m.-rn till midnight, we sec young
sters and oldsters twisting their legs in
to ail conceivable shapes. Wo cannot
pick up a paper, but an article on skat
ing meets the eye. Everybody says ’tis
fun, and that's all everybody knows
about it—for we have tried it. Last
night, about gas-light time, after read
ing a glowing description of life on
skates, we prepared for. our first attempt
and sallied forth to join the merry
crowd. We had on a pair of stoga
boots, trowsers-legs tucked inside, u
Robert-tailed coat, and a white hat'—
We went down on tho ieo, and gave a
boy twenty-five cents in good coin of tho
realms, for tho use of his implements.—
We have confidence, evon as great us
Peter’s faith. We, with tho assistance
of a friend, fixed on tho skates, and
stood erect, like a barber’s pole.
Encouraged at the sight of Borne la
dies on the bridge looking at tho skaters
we struck out. A slant to the right with
the right foot; a slant to the left with
tho left foot; and just then wo saw
something on the ice and stooped over
to pick it up ! On our feet again—two
slants to the right and ono to the left,
accompanied with a loss of confidence.
Another stride with the right foot, and
wo sat down with fearful rapidity, with
very little, if any elegance. Wh’ut a set
down it was, for we made a dent in the
ioe, not unlike a Connecticut butter
bowl! Just then one of tho ladies re
marked : “Oh, look Mary, that feller
with the white hat hain't got his skeets
on the rightplace !” Ditto thought wo.
Just then a ragged littlo devil sang out
as he passed ns—"Hallo, old timber leys !”
and wo arose suddenly and put after
him. Three slides to thejulit; two to
tlie left, and awuy wont otWegs; ono to
the east and tlie other to the west caus
ing an imtnenso fissure in our pants,
and another picture of a butter tray in
tho cold—oli! how cold!—ice! Then
tho lady—we know, she was one by tlie
remark eIio made—again spoke ond
said: “Oh, look Mary, that chap with
the white lint has sat down on his liuud-
kerchief to keep from taking cold 1”—
We roso about as graceful ns a saw-horse
when Mary said—“guess ’taint a hand
kerchief,, Jane,”—and Mary was right.
It wasn’t a .handkerchief—not a bit of
it i Just tlien a friend came along, and
proffered us liis coat tail us a “steadier.”
We accoptcd the continuation of his
garment, nnd up tho river we went
about ten rods, when a shy to tho right
by tho leader caused us, the wheel
horse, to scoot oil' on a trangent, heeds
up! But the icc is very cold, this sea
son 1

ing. log-wearing, dangerous institution,
and we warn people against skating.—
We tried it, and are unable to walk fora
mouth. Skating clubs are a humbug,
and till tlie rascally youngsters wish to
get tlio ladies at it, that they.may see—
if they too, don’t say “the ice is dread
ful cold !” It’s nothing to us, but tlie
ladies will do well to let skates alone,
unless they are younger nnd more elas
tic than we me. Oil! how cold the ice
is—we eaii feel it yet 1
BS-jy-Tho Washington Constitution pub
lishes tlie malignant speech made by
.Senator Fitch, the other day, in which
he informed the South that if its rep
resentatives allowed Douglas to be
nominated at Charleston, that section
would loso tho respect of enemies and
tho sympathy of its friends. Tho Con-
stitation endorses tlie doctrines of tlie
speech, and commends it to general
perusal with much warmth, The
speech, it is understood, was made at
tho suggestion of tlie President.
Can’t Stand It.—No, wo will not sub
mit to have our sex slandered by tlie
twice-married minx, Fanny Fern, as in
tho following:
“Mens Eves Will Wander.—Show
hut a strip of whito stocking above your
boot or a bit of un embroidered skirt,
or a Balmoral, and you may lead o Now
Yorker by tho nose all over Manhattan,
l lirough all Wall street nnd stand waiting
for him. I have positively seen gentle
men stand at tho ferry gates when their
arms were half- broken with bundles,
eagerly bobbing their heads tiiis way
slid that to catch a sight of tlie gaiter
hoots ns they nlighted Iroru tho various
omiiibiisses. Ami not all young men
either, hut gray-headed old codgers wl;o
had grand-pa written ail over them.—
Why should a woman care about-
it, if her ankles are pretty ?” “Cure,”
It may he just possible that if nil
exhibition is fore ordained and inevita
ble, she may prefer to choose her audi
ence.”
Now, we can positively affirm, (says
tlie Petersburg Express,) and shall be
sustained in our assertion, that there is
no gontloman of correct habits and
good taste, but what would instantly
turn liis back to a lady who showed
mere of a handsome und well-turned
ankle than usual; that is, if lie was sure
by a “right-about face” of seeing two pret
tier ones!
Infuriated Woman.—The Buffalo
(N. Y,) Post relates tlie following in
stance of a spiteful revenge as -having
occurred in that city on last Tuesday;
A young man residing in town who lias
been a regular visitant at tlie residence
of a young lady citizen, and whoso at
tendance upon tlie same wus understood
as a proludo to an eventual proposal,
was sitting by her sido at tlie family tea
table on a late evening, when, during
the course of a rather jovial conversa
tion, tho mother of the lady turned
upon him with tlie smiling question :
“When are you and M going to get
married ?” Tlie gentleman responded
with an appearance of great astonish
ment, that lie had never entertained
any such intention, nnd proceeded to
joke upon tho idea. Tho young indy
immediately uroso without a word, and
went into’ a room adjoining, from
whence she shortly returned, with a
bottle of vitriol in lior hand, and with
out a syllable or gesture of warning,
dashing tho torrihio fluid into the un
suspecting face of him whom she had
supposed her lover, shockingly disfigu
ring its features, instantly destroying
tho sight of one eyo, and injuring its
follow hopelessly.
Small Pox.—A case of small pox, wo
learn has made its apncaruncu in tlie
town of Dawson, Terrell county, caus
ing considerable approhonsiou among
tho citizens. A young man, who hail
been spending some time in Mncon, had
recently rolurned, been taken sick, and
on Sunday lost the physicians pronoun
ced it a case of small pox.
Withdrawing from LuiERiA.--Tlie
Maryland Houso ot Delegates on-
Wodnesday cut oil' from tiie Coloniza
tion Society theunuul appropriation of
So,000 by a decided vote, and left only
tho elauseofthe 0odegivingS70 per cap

dom comes to town, called on otHe
Fuller yesterday morning with a stalu-
ment something liko tiie following:
Ho had coma to tlie City on some littlo
business, and had about $300 in hi l-< on
somo 6f tho city banks, which lie want
ed to change for gold, but never having
been in a bank, lie neither know where
to find it or how to proceed to got tho
gold from it when found ; happening
to meet a good-looking, well dressed
man lie inquired where the bank was
telling him for what purpose lie wanted
to find it; tho man proposed to go and
siiow him the bank, ami ns they wulkud.
on together, ho seemed so very kind,
tho old man asked him to take tho mo
ney and change it for him, which lie
quite obligingly, consented to do, and
took it. When they came in front of
Hie Battle House, he told-the old man
that was tho bank, and to wait a min
ute nnd lie would step in anil get tlie
gold for him. Tho old mini waited nnd
as lie did not return stepped in at the
end of an hour to look for him, and
not finding him, inquired und learned
that lie was at the Battle Houso, instead
of tlie bank. The police aro on tho
alert for tlie thief. We hardly suppos
ed Mobile contained so bold an.t ac
complished a rogue, or tho surround
ing country so green and available, a
sulijcct.—Mohi/e Trihtine.
Countbrfeitinu on a Larue Scale.—
It lias been ascertained that from tlie
110th to the 25th November last, between
$200,(100 nnd $300,000 in counterfeit
notes of $-50 und $100, on tlie Bank of
Philadelphia, were successfully put into
circulation in Hie Slates of Illinois, Ohio
Indiana, Tennessee, Mis.-i sippi, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Missouri, being
exchanged-for genuino money, mostly
Missouri currency. This is the largest
apd most successful villatiyof tho kind
on record, and it must lmve been con
cocted and consummated by quite a
number of persons. Only one of thorn
named Baeorda, has yet been detected,
and lie is on trial in St. bonis, where ef
forts aro making for tho detection of
tho others of the gang. Bicorda was
taken in Canada after a laborious search.
A Lou* or Silver.—A mammoth
lump of silver ore, from tho Washoe
mines, in Carson Valley, lias been for
warded by Morrison,' W.alsli & Co., to
tho Washington Monument. It is two
feet six inches wide, uml eight iuclies
thick, weighs ono hundred and
sixtv-tliree pounds, and is valued at
$000.
An Invention.—A Yankee in Utah
has invented, and set in operation an
artificial lady, in lull dress propelled
by a small boy, and advertises to sweep
the sidewalk's and crossings for a cer
tain annual salary. The lady is crin
olined according to tho width of the
sidewalk, the crinoline being so rigged
that it can be widened or narrowed with
pleasure.
