Proposition to Divide Alameda County and Form the City and County of Oakland. HISTORY OF OUR PAST RELATIONS. The Proposed Reconstruction Advocated Onkland the Bride of the Ocean, and Queen of the Count.

The following paper on the proposed division of Alameda county and the formation of the city and county of Oukland, wan read by Mr. William Halley at the meeting of the Merchants Exchange 001 Wednesday evening last: It is proposed to divide Alameda county and form a new one out of the City of Oaklandand its suburbs. Should this proposition find favor and carry, as no doubt it will, it will constitute the fourth change in our local organization since the American 0c- cupation. Under Mexican rule the seat of Justice for the Contra Costa was Sun Francisco. In vain did the inhabitants of the "Ranchos of the North," (as Alameda and Contra Costa were known in 1830.) en deavor to have it changed to the town of San Jose.

The dangers encountered in crossing the bay and the large number of leagues to be traveled in journeying by land were presented to the Territorial Governor anI Assembly without effect. Then came our connection with the district of San short lived arrangement. In 1850 the counties were established by the first American Legislature, the cele brated "Legislature of a thousand drinks." In the naming of Contra Costa, (of which first formed a part,) the suggestion of the title came from Oakland, which constituted the "opposite coast" to that of San Francisco. It was soon found that the preponderance of population was destined to be in this section of the county. The inconvenience of Martinez as a county seat for the people of Oakland, Alameda and Eden became apparent.

In 1852 a division was resolved upon. Horace W. Carpentier, of Oakland, represented Contra Costa county in the legislature of 1853, and Henry C. Smith et Alvarado, represented Santa Clara. Washington township, in which Alvarado is sit.

uated, then formed the northern section of Santa Clara. Both CARPENTIER AND SMITH Were ambitious men. The one was cudning and convincing, the other pushing and popular. Both agreed upon the neces. sity forming a new county, but both were bent on gaining advantages for themselves.

Carpentier desired the new county formed altogether from Contra Costa, with Oakland AS the seat of Justice; Smith aimed to have less of Contra Costa and more of Santa Clara included in the proposed new county, in order to make his own town of New Haven (now Alvarado) the county seat. Smith carried his points. He forced the southern extremity of the county to a line with the head of the bay of San Francisco, and then secured for New Haven the county seat. He also christened the new county, naming it after the Alameda creek, which enters the bay near Alvarado. For a time the Southern or Santa Clara township "ruled the reast." The old Mis: sion town which it embraced, was our first center of population.

There gathered the Smiths, Cranes, Farleys, Huffs, Broders, Briers, Horners, Beards, and other men si ice prominent la our county annals. From that source came our first county of ficers. Oakland was then "nowhere." This state of things, however, was not destined to be of long duration. The northern end of the county commenced to fill up rapidly, and the county seat which was established in 1853, gave dissatisfaction as early as the ensuing year. That "Empire comes from the north' was made manifest in this instance, for at an election held on the 80th day of December, 1851.

to determine whether the embryo town of San Leandro or Alvarado should thereafter constitute the county seat, the north wAS victorious. SAN LEANDRO THE COUNTY SEAT. San Leandro carried the day, aided by Temescal. 347, Precinct, favor which of the cast change. a vote The of in wonder at this day as then is, where those votes came from.

But that was not the period of stringent registration laws and Great Registers. Washington Township, however, at election, cast a larger vote by 68 than Oakland Township. On account of some informality, which required an Act of the Legislature to remedy, San Leandro did not finally become the county town till the 8th day of February, 1856. As such it continued until the 26th day of June, 1873, when it, too, was compelled to yield to the inevitable in the increased powor of the northern township. The struggle on the one hand to retain possession, and on the other to obtain it, was protracted and bitter.

It commenced in 1811, and was not ended until the 25th day of March, 1874. Brooklyn held temporary possession for short period by the favor of the Board of Supervisors. That body held its first meeting in the present county building on the 14th day of June, 1875. During this controversy the subject of division was much discussed, but throughout the greater part of the discussion Oak. land expressed herself against a division.

In the of failure to effect a removal from Breoklyn however, it was the remedy held in reserve. The Legislature was in session in February, 1874, and to it Oakland was looking for a tavorable verdict. Matters however, were taking anch a turn that the cause looked somewhat in joop. ardy. DIVISION FIRST MOOTED.

Mayor Durant, in a message sent to the City Council of Oakland, en the 16th day of February, 1874, urged the initiative for movement in favor of a division of the county, with a riew to the erection of the city of Oakland and adjoining townships of Alameda and Brooklyn, into a separate county, to be called the "County of Oak Subsequent events rendered the adoption of this action unnecessary, 119 Oakland finally conquered that which she coveted. Her progress since has been so rapid as to almost outstrip anticipation. Her in in population and wealth, is almost crease beyond precedent. The bonds that bind her to the southern townships have year become less binding. Her OWn by year increasing importance, naturally has led to an estrangement between herself and her southern sisters.

Her town government is imperfect, The revamped charter of 1801 and one thousand inhabitants, is for the wants of 1877 altogether inadequate and forty thousand inhabitants. The Legislature, through whose grace changes are effected and stamped with the seal of legal enactment, meets in Sacramento next month, and unless we be willing to remain as we are for two more years, that which is required to be done will now have to be done quickly, A NEW CITY CHARTER Tins been spoken of as an absolute necos. sity, and while a change is to be effected, it will be an economy of time and money to make it complete. With the question of new city charter goes that of a con solidated city and county government, such as is now enjoyed by San Francisco. The Merchants' Exchange has taken the initiative 111 the matter and appointed a committee of gentlemen to ascertain what the public feeling is on the matter, both in city and county.

One thing is certain: Oakland possesses to-day, perhaps, the cheapest city government of any place ol its size on the continent, for the services performed. It is not on the ground of extravagance, therefore, that a change is desired. It is the demand for expansion and machinery commensurate with the wants of a large, absorbing and spreading city that urges it onward. A people, a community of progress, a popuIntion that appreciates its position and the destiny in store for ita locality, will not be back ward in appreciating the want those corporate appliances that mark the distine tion between a thriving town and a great and growing city, Oakland, to-day, in the educational center State, the home of the opulent and the easy circumstanced. It is the P'ARIA OF THE PACIFIC.

Here come families from all quarters whose head in possessed of a competency. From South and Central America, from Nevada, Oregon and Arizona, as well 148 the East. They come to enjoy its pleasant location, delightful gardens, fine streets and avenues, unequalled educational facilItica and good order. Our men of busipoint to it terminal advantages, its railroads, present and prospective; its harleor, ships and commerce. Her ardent visionaries that peer into the future, see her surpassing in population, trade, commerce and finances, the great city "on the wrong side of the bay," and looking out upon the sea through the Golden Gate, as proud and opulent as Tyre, or Carthage, or Sidon of old, no longer merely the "Bride of the Bay and Queen of the Valley, but "Bride of the Ocean and Queen of the Coast." That she may exercise her creign will to expand, to increase and 10 govern, consolidation and a new and ample city charter are a necessity.

FEASIBILITY OF THE CHANGE. That the change is feasible is evident. It is not to be presumed that any considera ble portion of the people of the city will object. It will injure no particular interest. It will make city powerful to A maintain its rights in the water front, to regulate the great railroad interest that is centering here, to complete our harbor im provements, invite foreign commerce, keep our incomparable streets in good condilion, maintain order, etc.

It will make the rebuilding of the City fall unnecessary, as the purchase of the county buildings from the old county will amply furnish accommodations for the consolidated city and county. The purchase of this prop. erty will, of course, be necessary, as well as making copies of such of the records as pertain to the outside townships. The sale of the City Hall property would go a long way to furnish the necessary means to do this, if it would not be more than ample for the purpose of purchasing the southern townships' interest in the premiseR. The money accruing from the Court House sale would also be ample to furnish the old county with funds to provide her.

self with new county buildings and start anew her reduced but more convenwith lent dimensions. THE BERELKY DISTRICT, which is already canvassing the propriety of seeking admission within our corporate limits, would appreciate the change. It feels that it would be placed at no disadvantage, as a corporate existence of some kind is one of the things it looks for in the future. The ab option of the Temescal suburb, at no distant day. is a foregone conclusion.

Population is rapidly augmenting in our northern limits and in. creased population demands increased ad. vantages and protection such 85 a city goverament confers. The most populous portion of Brooklyn township is already East Oakland and embraced within the city limits and what is desired of the rest of it would hardly be disposed to make any serious resistance. It would embrace Fruit Vale, Seminary Park, Melrose and probably Fitchburg.

Alameda township, from the nature of things, will probably offer the greatest objection. It has aims and ambitions of its own, situated as it is on the opposite side of the estuary, and soon to be provided with a railroad and ferry to San Francisco, independent of the Central Pacific. Its disadvantages are apparent, however, when it is considered that its tide lauds are within the limits of Oakland, and that its powers are at present insuficient to open some of its streets. It is not to be presumed, however, that its re. sistence would be powerful or prolonged.

THE SOUTHERN TOWNSHIPS Will bail the proposition with satisfaction. They have ever riewed Oakland's growing power with jealeusy and dissatisfactien, The county scat controversy of four or five years ago developed this. It has left them in the mood for a change, aud they will he pleased to enjoy the opportunity of setting up for themselves. "As Oakland wills, so goes the county" they say, and they are powerless to prevent it. The question of cost being made easy as already set forth, they will no doubt be free and assenting parties to the proposition.

Opinions will differ with regard to the location of the dividing line. Some would prefer the line of Sausal creck nl Fruit Vale, others ligh street, and others the Brothers' line beyond Mills Seminary, winch CHis Brooklyn township and the county in two, while many would probably prefer to take in the whole of the San Antonio rancho and carry the southern boundary line to San Leandro. This would make the new county about tourteen miles long, which would corer too extensire a line of territory. An area of ten miles square would seem the most suitable and compact and what it is desirable to possess; but this can hardly be had without encroaching somewhat on the territory of the neighboring county of Contra Cos. ta and taking in her adjacent hills, at the southern extremity, unless our county line runs suficiently distant into the bay to enable us to avoid them.

HOW THE OLD COUNTY WILL RE AFFECTED. The preposed division will very mate. rially the old county erganization. It will leave the townships very unequal 111 territorial extent. There will be a rem: want of Brooklyn to stand by itself or be annexed to Eden.

Murray, in territorial extent, is equal to Washington, Eden and the remaining portion of Brooklyn combined. The former would soon have to be divided into two at any rate, and a readjustment of the whole of them and an increase 111 their number, may be necessary to properly meet the new order of things. The people of the southern townships have been anticipating this change for some time and will be found prepared for the proposition. The new county seat of Alameda cannot be either San Leandro or Alvarado, and choice must lie between Haywards to the north and Niles to the south. Both are situated at entrances to passes leading to Murray township and the easterly valleys, the chief of which is the Livermore.

Haywards, however, has decidedly the advantage. 1t is already a considerable town. It is beautifully situated, has a corporate existence, and abundance of accommodation. By it 19 the easiest route to Contra Costa and Mount Diablo, as well as the Amador and Livermore valleys, Its population is about twelve hundred, The Central Pactie Railroad station 18 within three quarters of a mile of the town. Niles has the distinction of being a railroad junction and is accessible by rail from the greater portion of the country.

But here its advantages end. Its popu. lation consists of only one or two hundred souls, mostly railroad employees. The land in its vicinity belongs to one or two individuals besides that owned by the Railroad Company, and the place posses. ses 110 accommodations.

The wagon road that formerly traversed the canyon from Niles to Sunol was destroyed by the railrend engineers, and the eastern valleys can only be reached by way of the Mis. now sion. POPULATION. The population of the southern town ships cannot be ascertained exactly, but an approximation be made as fellows: may Eden, Washington, Murray, 5,000. This with about 1,000 lopped from Brooklyn, would leave the contracted and reconstructed county of Alameda with a population of 15,000, to make of a new Oakland start with.

The Councilman, the Mayor and the Dead -Cowardly Slander, is my idea that the Fire and Police Departments should not be used politically by anybody or by either political party;" that it is time that this police force was stopped in being used as a political machine to do the grinding of aspirants for office." The above words we have taken from Mr. Grinnell's speech upon Monday night.

We sometimes wonder whether the Councilmau from the Second Ward exactly understands what his words mean. We question whether there ever was a person in this city, holding an official pesition, who WAs more universally liked and respected than Captain Rand. What Mr. Grinnell saya implies one of two things: First, that the Police De. partment was used 119 8 political machine under Captain land, or second, that Captain Gray has demoralized it.

The first we are prepared to stigmatize as a lie. When Capt. Rand was alive, not even Mr. Grinnell would have dared to have said such a thing about him. Capt.

Rand being dead, talk like that 18 cheap. Capt. Gray being Mr. Grinnell'8 political pet, being a man whom Mr. Grinnell intends to hold up through all circumstances, may or may not through gratitude have given Mr.

Grinnell grounds for saying what he did. That is a thing about which we know but little. There is however one thing in conneclion with Mr. Grinnell's speech which we must speak about. W.

Within the past day or so out attention lias been directed to the doings of a cer. tain W. J. Adams, who claims be school teacher at Grass Valley in this State, but 1s now la consequence of his school being temporarily closed, residing in San Francisco. He makes a practice of calling upon the people whom he iotends to swindle at a late nour of the erening and tells quite a pitiful tale respecting the failure of his people "to send a remittance from home." He quotes the Dames of officers and school teschers quite glibly and still further obtains credence by producing his State Certificate and Diploma.

In this manner lie is making a living as he invariably succeeds in getting some. thing. As a matter of tact. Adams was teacher for sometime but for some reason which we are not acquainted the State Board cancelled his certificate on the 1st of September last. In some cases where he makes a call he has been usually affected by the weather, which causes him to become somewhat impertinent.

We hope that the nest person he honors with a call will hand him over to the care of the Captain of Police. Pedestrianism. Lovers of this species of athletics will hare a good opportunity of witnessing their faverite sport at Germania Halle on Saturday evening next.

Breaking Jail. During Wednesday night last five prisoners who were locked up in the 1 northeast cell of the City Prison, eftected their escape by the simple process of shoving aside a grating.

They arc 88 follows: Jacob Sims, drunk and disorderly on the streets cars, in for twenty-five days, had eighteen days to serve; Charles Sainpson, in for fifteen days for petit larceny, sentenced on the 16th instant; Jamies Days, sentenced on the 9th, 100 days for petit larceny; William Harris, sentenced on the 7th, upon two charges--assault with a deadly weapon and petit larceny, for 75 days. The above are all colored men. Eddic Campbell, a lad of tourteen years, In on a charge of larceny, for sixty days from the 18th of October. The grating, by pushing aside which they made their escape, was fitted in 10 A very poor way, and it is not to he wondered at that InCO should not care about remaining "in doors" when they might be roaming about the waving fields enjoying the glad tong of the blue birds and gazing upon the pure face of Nature, with parted lips and distended eyes.

Up to a late hour last even. ing none of the men had been caught, but we presume they will not long be at large. It was owing to the crowded state of the prison that the ten were put into that cell which is kept for incapable drunks.

As we are not the oldest resident we can only say that we understand he got into a quarrel with a man named John Donane while going through the forms of the voluptous waltz. In other words they were in a dance bousc on Fifth street, between Washington street and Broadway, and the quarrel resulted Dousne being fatally stabbed. He was, 15 a matter of course, arrested and charged with murder, and retained as counsel A. A. Cohen, but was considered that nothing could save him.

NORTON 1. Fire This Morning.

An alarm of fire was turned in by ial officer Ross at box 13, on the corner of Fourteenth and Market streets, this morning at 1 o'clock, occasioned by the burning of two frame buildings on Sixteenth and Cypress streets.

EDITOR observe that the subject of a division of the county is again agitated, and that with no small prospect of success. The numerous small politicians who think their chances of preferment would be increased, and the various towns which have distant hopes of the new county seat, may well be expected to cry for a division. But that Oakland, holding now as she does, the weight of authority, should desire to cut loose from a portion of her most faithful tax-payers, is a fathomless mystery. The friends of the new movement say that if there is a "City and County of Oakland" the present county buildings will be sufficient, and the City Halt need not be rebuilt. Herein lies economy of the Skimpole order.

Do they forget that the cost of the present buildings must be paid to the new county, and also the records copied for Its use! Besides the expedient 15 at its best a make-shift, for the present buildings are probably not quite adapted to city use, and are certainly not central, so that it would be cheaper to extend Washington street, and then erect a new Hall, in every way suitable. If we poor rurals had been overbearing in our conduct toward Oakland, had In tact behaved saucily, and proved a thorn in the flesh, we might understand why this movement emanates from 1 Oakland men. But we have been preternaturally meek, and on all fitting occasions have testified our sense of your greatness. It is very true that we are well represented at Sacramento, but that is entirely the result of your own divisions. In fact, if you must continually struggle to divide the county, possibly the end had best come now, while we are sure of favorabl legislation.

But we do net want division. It will be a sad necessity, only forced upon us by a total disregard of our interests. We feel that it is far better to be a part of a leading county than 10 occupy for long years 3 subordinate position. We feel, too, that we are far belter served when, from the whole, we can choose better men and pay them larger salaries, than we could with smaller offices, filled by weaker men. Commercially all this valley looks tow.

ard Oakland. When your water is lined with great wharves and stately ships, our wheat, wool and fruits will pay tribute to you. An imaginary county line somewhere about Fruit Vale, would chiefly mark the attempt of certain shallow people to separate communities that nature has joined through considerable preliminary geological labor. For indeed we are one community, with whole networks of unit. in interests, social, political, educational, and, since these interests must continue, it is but fitting that we should remain 10- gether.

We are proud of Oakland, glad of her growth, and confident in her future. If she is not afraid of her own greatness, but governs us all with a wise hand, it will be well for us both. She has good politicians, earnest men, deep thinkers, among her citizens. These must shape ber course, let us hope, wisely. To me it scots a grand thing, not to be lightly cast aside, that the fair young city has so much influence in our prosperous and growing county, WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.

THE FREE READING ROOM. Entertainment in its Aid To-night. OAKLAND, November 22, 1877. EDITOR TRANSCRIPT: -I trust our citizeds may not forget the entertainment this (Friday) evening at Germania Hall, for the benefit of the "Free Reading Room." I sure if the benificent character of our work be fully appreciated, that no room in our city could hold the crowd to morrow night. And I think that a mere glance into the large and pleasant ball which we occupy, would lead the most careless ol.

server to the conclusion that we hare a great work in hand. Haunts of dangerous and destructive dissipation are met at every turn. We have on the corner et Eleventh and Washing. ton street, one delightful room well lighted and ventilated, liberally supplied with books, papers, and the means of innocent games, and radiant with an atmosphere of welcome to all comers, where there are no temptations to vice, and where crowds of young men can be seen at all hours of the day and evening. Let the turnout this evening testify to the public interest in the good work.

The first half of the entertainment will be a grand concert by the finest band on this coast. Every preparation for the supper, at 3 nominal price, and for the dancing which will be on a magnificent scale, is now completed. ONE OF THE DIRECTORS. "LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER."

Senators Patterson and Conover Turned Democrats. FOREIGN ITEMS--CONDITION OF THE POPE. Sumner Vindicated Against the Attacks of Grant and Fish. NEW YORK, November Tribune Washington special says: The Senate having consented to the publication of the facts about Summer's Committee delaying treaties, a list of said treaties is published this morning, from which it appears that every one of the nine treaties which Fish accused Sumner of smothering in the Committee were actually reported to the Senate by Sumner himself, betore his removal from the Chairmanship of the Committee. This fact Fish could not officially know, as the date when such reports were made was one of the executive secrets of the Senate; but its publication to.

day proves that whatever delay there was in the ratifications of the treaties in question, it was not due to the neglect of Sumper or the Committee over which he sided, but to that of the Senate itself, and that Fish, in blaming Summer for these delays, has unwittingly done great injustice to the memory of one whose practice it was not to allow the business of his Committee to accumulate without being unacted upon. Tom Scott Interviewed -What He Thinks of the Texas Pacific. were by Indians. The Louisiana Contested Seat. CHICAGO, November reporter interviewed Thomas A.

Scott here yester. day with the following result: As regards the Southern Pacific Railroad, known as the extension of the Texas Pacific to the Pacific coast, I think it is destined to be one of the great lughways of the country, and that the road ought to be built speedily, for the interest of all the great business centres of the country, which, of course, includes all the Atlantic ports in the Southern States, and all the business railway centres, reaching all the way through to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. It will be, and should be valuable as an outiet to the city of Chicago, because it will develop new fields of weakh, which Chicago ought to be interested in, and will be, no doubt, when the track is constructed. It is certainly to the interest of Chicago and all this section of the country to have an opportunity to give aid to this enterprise. The people have no greater field to develop than that extending from the Red River, on the borders of Texas, all the way through to El Paso, and ultimately to the Pacitic 8 coast.

Indian Outbreak in Texas. NEW YORK, November 22d. -A special from San Antonio, Texas, says: The fol. lowing has just been received from Fort Stockton: "Our telegraphic communications have been cut off for the last eight days. A party sent out to ascertain the cause found the wires cut near where the Indians killed a stage driver last month.

The Indians have been seen on the Pecos with pieces of telegraph wire. Cooney's herder reports that the same Indians altacked his herd on the 11th and killed six or eight head of cattle. He followed them ten miles, but could not overtake them. Lieutenant Jones, with a lurge party from Col. Shawter's command, passed down the Pecos on the 10th.

The Indians have stolen four head of cattle from near Horsehead Crossing." CHICAGO, November dispatch received this afternoon at General Sheridan's Headquarters from General Ord reports that on the 10th instant a Mexican was killed on Indian creek, 8 or 10 miles distant from Avolos, by a party of Lipan Indians. On the 21st instant two more men were killed on a ranch near Laredo. The killed are supposed to be residents of Texas. General Sherman on the Mexican Border Troubles. WASHINGTON, November Sherman was again before the Committee on Military Affairs this morning, and furnished an epitome of the reports received by the War Department for the last year as to troubles on the Mexican frentier.

He also went at considerable length into the question of distribution of troops, and expressed the opinion that, if the protection of Texas required a military force of 4,000 men, the protection of the northern belt of the country for a width of one hundred miles from the British line, where Sioux and other hostile Indians range, would require at the same ratio a force of 40.000 men. It also appeared from his statement that most of the eleven murders, which he referred to yesterday as having been committed in Texas last year, Kellogg. Sherman and the Syndicate-Printing of the Four Per Cents.

The Presideat and the Inflationists. NEW YORK, November Sun's Washington special says: A resolution will probably be presented in the House in a day or two asking for the recent cor. respondence between the Secretary of the Treasury and the Syndicate.

It is intended to cover the letter received last week not only announcing that the funding of the four per cents. would be interrupted by the passage ot the Silver bill, but distinctly charging that after the efficial pledge was given by the Secretary of the Treasury last June, such law would be an act ot bad faith. Something has been said about the first part of the letter, but very little about the last. The printing of the four per cent. bonds NEW YORK, November A Tribune Washington special says: It is known that last Spring and Summer when the silver question was widely discussed in the newspapers, the President was inclined to accept the arguments of bi-metallists, and to favor the re-establishment of a double standard of metallic currency.

He remarked on several occasions that he believed it to be the duty of the United States to utilize silver which it pro. the duced in' its currency. But the silver question has resumed a new and important phase since that time. The silver inflationists the present Congress do not propose a double standard of metallic currency. It 18 pretty well settled that the President will not approve any measure providing for the payment of principal or interest of the public debt in a depreciated currency, or the unlimited issued of the silver dollar.

Washington special, reviewing the test vote in the Senate to-day, says that Patterson was absent, and hints that he and Conover are being won over to the Democracy, There is much excitement in town to night because of the vote.

General Canales has officially called the attention of the United States authorities to the fact of the existence in Texas, near the Rio Grande, of a camp of armed Mexicans, who are evidently preparing to cross, and asking that the United States Government cause the neutrality laws to be enforced against those who are undoubtedly using the territory of Texas to organize 8 revolutionary movement in Mexico.

The affair temporarily in importance, as far as the American Colony and fashionable society are concerned, even the present political crisis here. The house where it took place cost 1,500,000 francs, and the furniture 500,000 francs.

It looks out upon the Place de Etoile, and is a splendid residence. The garden was brilliantly illuminated and decorated with the national flags, with emblems set in a thousand gas jets. An orchestra was stationed on a pavilion built out from the house in front of the Rue Flisitt. A dozen footmen in liveries of crimson and gold lined the entrance and stairway. Everything that money could supply and elegant taste select, was there to add to the beauty and impressiveness of the scene.

There were covers for twenty. four guests as follows: General Grant and family; members of the American Legation and Consulate and their families. There were no unofficial Americans present at the dinner. The menu was inscribed on small silver tablets. A Radical -The New Ministry.

At the meeting of the Durants last evening it was decided that the action of the English people in deposing James II was justifiable. Mr. Easterly and Mr. Knapp argued the successful side, Mr.

Van Dyke defended the negative single-handed. A very interesting reading was given by Mr. Mansfield. The Neoleans argued the question, Resolved, "That for the State to carry on higher education is legalized robbery." The decision was in favor of the negative. Mr.
