E tract from Rv. -J. T; IiaiTcrty's
Address at Trinity College. ,
In the afternoon Rer. J. J. Lafferty,
D. D., of Richmond, Va., delivered
the annual address to tte class olp '82.
He opened by saying that on this
Very spot he surrendered to the con
quering Federals in 1865. He was
glad to greet them with better things.
His theme was "The Old Times and
the New. Vii drew- aJrtxraorou con
trast between the old systems "of
schools, medicine, traveling and
churches and the present. He drew
argument from his amusing; pictures;
in favor of thpeople of to-day ir-.-fle
prpTrAigaari8t iaVbf 6&&;Ythe
Confederate and the Continental
soldier, and brought forward
sections of history to. show that the
former, though conquered, was su-
perior to the sires of 76v even though
victorious. The speaker said : There
may be persons who claim that our
forefathers performed prodigies of
valor, winning their cause and there
fore superior to their sons in the
field. It might be urged that the
failure of the Southern Confederacy
and the success of the Revolution
argue against the prowess of ourjeom
rades and our times. Let us contrast
the periods and the men.
He then spoke of Burgoyne's cam
paign and the utter incompetency of
that officer, to which rather than
anything else the success of the
colonists was due, and-continued :
How fortunate for our forefathers
that Clive had died just as hostilities
began. How he lived two years long
er he would have been the commander-in-chief
of the British forces in
America. He was in the primehood
of his great powers. Every reader
knows his trancendant) genius for
war. Chatham called him a heaven
born general. As the conqueror of
Hindostan at the age of twenty-five
years he is without a rival in the ex
ploit of arms. No proconsul for
Rome had ever won for Rome such a
wealth of territory, subjects aad
revenue as Clive conquered in India
for the British Crown. No captain
who ever passed in triumph down
the sacred way to the temple of Tar
peanJove could boas$ of such splen
did trophies. . If instead of the slug
gish Clinton, this experienced, skill
ful and resolute soldier had led the
King's troops, that "rebellion"' would
have been put down in Mr. Seward's
"ninety days."
A young lady was visiting the home
of Clive, and asked him one day to
mend her pen. He trimmed the
point and returned the quill. Then
sauntering to another room he. in a
fit of insanity, thrust the penknife
into his heart. That little blade,
more than the swords of the patriots,
carved out American independence 1
' Let us turn the picture. A stray
ball struck Albert SidneyJohnston in
the full tide x& victory at Shuoh. He
fell from his horse and died. A
member of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet
told me that if Johnston had lived
one hour unhurt Grant 5 would have
been a prisoner and "his army cap
tives. Already thousands of federal
soldiers had thrown away their arms
and were hiding under the banks of
the river. That" wandering ? bullet
struck the Confederacy . in, a vital
part.
At a certain crisis in the old Revo
lution even the tough and patriotic
General Greene was uTdepair, The
French had given Congress notice
they could help the tottering cause
no longer. Cornwall is was chasing
the beaten and flypag federals out of
the Carolinas. He was at their heels.
The Catawba, after the passagl of
the fugitive forces, suddenly ' arose
and saved them.- They were pressed
again at the "Yadkin. They had
barely crossed when that stream
swelled and delayed the pursuers.
Cornwallis, mistaking the intent of
a letter from Clinton, went to York
town. At that juncture a French
fleet from the West Indies was near
the' Chesapeak. The sight of the
British flag was a surprise. The
French troops and siege guns , in this
darkest hour of the colonies, came
upon Cornwallis, and with Washing
ton's help, caught him ending the
war. ;
On the other hand, at the "Wilder
ness," in the night, by a mysterious
mishap, Stonewall Jackson fell by an
unknown bullet. Had he v lived
twenty-four hours he would have
put himself between Hooker "and
and the ford of the RappahauOck.
Retreat would have been impossible.
A great federal army could not
have escaped. Its gurrender-rwas
the end of the war. '
By a clumsy accident Major An
dre was captured and so saved to
Washington West Point, the Key
of Upper New York; The seizure of
that point would have forced the
federals to despair and flight.
A despatch from General Lee of
the highest moment was. left by the
strangest oversight in the deserted
quarters of . a Confederate general
ia Maryland. It t was handed at
once 'to McClellanJ ,His army jwaf
broken in. spirit- and but recently
driven from Richmond. He took
the aggressive f Lee was amazed.
McCIellan, trusting to the forgotten
despatch, , pressed, . forward. m He
struck the Confederates unprepareu
jind made a drawn name.
McClel-
lan under oatt. put the safety of
Washington upon the discovery of
that lost paper.
It has not tarnished the riory of
"god like Hector' to fall Iry the de
cree of fate. Achilles aad" "blue-
eyed Pallas" were an overmatch for
the heroic Trojan. 'Tbe Cbnfedirate

Put side by de the South of 1861
and the "sijres of 76." The British
army, its reinforcements and equip
ments, must cross the sea by slow
sails. Theyj were invading a country
of wilderness and swamp. Roads
few, seldom a bridge, a country
sparsely settled. The British regu
lars were cfcasing bands of hunters
who were at home in the woods. The
South was hemmed in by a numerous
and powerful foe, with great rivers
and lines pf railroads to bring the
enemy swifUy upon them, while sea
ward the ocean floated hostile war
ships all along the coast and into
sounds and bays. The teeming
West emptied rations into the Federal
camps. The factories of New Eng
land furnished tons of best ammuni
tion. The nations were the recruit
ing fields. The South was blockaded,
meagre in manufactories, with few
railways, j
The colonies had three great na
tions in league in their war. The
South was friendless. Even neutral
ity assisted ;he North.
In the Revolution the Americans
fought in every battle but one against
smaller forces. They usually out
numbered the British two, three, five
to one, and were frequently whipped
by this inferior enemy. In 1861 an
agricultural. people, with ports block
aded, fought a rich commercial coun
try of five times its population for
four years.! From the archives at
Washington, Federal and Confeder
ate, it is found that four times as
many soldiers were mustered in the
Union army as in the Southern forces.
On the lstj of May, the disparity
was fourteen to one. The fourteen
men had allj the resources of physical
power, scientific invention and me
chanical contrivances. And the
fourteen men were glad when the one
man, hungry, ragged and out of am
munition, surrendered. The South
fought against an army nearly three
times as great as Xerxes', aided by
the elements, controlled by skill and
modern science !
If battles tested the prowess of the
South, defeat tried them in the
furnace. The social and political
fabric tumbled to pieces. The Afri
can from thie rice swamp was order
ed to put his muddy foot on the neck
of scholars and statesmen. It was as
it a continent, with all the fair works
of art and civilization, had suddenly
sank below the sea level and the
monsters and ooze of the ocean had
flowed in iver all. Judas at home
and Barraoas from abroad joined
hands and jbecame the fiduciaries of
the public purse and the protectors of
of private right !
When th war ended nothing sur
vived in th way of property that was
not indestructable or unconvertible.
The homei necessities had gleaned
the field the enemy had devastated
even the stubble. The loss in person
al property (leaving out the slaves)
was two billion twice the indemnity
France paid Prussia. This was two
thirds of jail the property in the
South. In addition to this two billion,
there mustj be added the expenses of
the Confederate war (represented by
Confederate bonds and Confederate
treasury notes), amounting to a hun
dred million. This was lost In
addition toj this two billion and this
hundred million, the South was saddl
ed with itsjpart of the United States
war debt of two billions and a half!
And on top of these vast sums must
be piled fourteen millions of private
obligations' based on slave property :
And worse. The seed com had been
ground in dire need. iThe last ox had
been eaten The plough had fallen
under the Confederate soldier in the
fight. Mills -and instruments of indus
try had been burned.
Few havp ever forgotten the ruin
wrought on Prussia by the enemies
of Frederick. Macaulay paints it as
the most woeful picture in modern
times, yet Frederick lost only 177,000
out of a population of 455,500,000.
The South? lost 222,000 out 5,000,000.
The Boys, the grandfathers and the
cripples were left to redeem a land
overwhelmed with indtistriai, poli
tical and financial desolation.
What race that ever lived could
have risen I The Greek never; rose to
manhood after the Roman conquest.
It was liviug Greece no more. The
sons of thej men of Marathon were
slaves forever. The barbarian broke
the proud spirit of the haughty Ro
mas, i j,.-.' j
In a single decade the South rebuilt
her burned! altars, lustra ted her tern-
pies of justice and turned the balance
of trade by I her exports, and made a
United States bond good as gold. In
tjet yare Bhe Jiad , regained political
power in Congress and prosperity in
her homes. It is a triumph of charac
ter, fortitude, patience, industry, sta
tesmanship, prime manhood, over
adversity without a parallel in all
history.
When the cruel centurion whose
scourge had smitten Jesus, whose
spikes had hung him in agony, saw
the patient grandeur of the sufferer,
the rude Roman said this was surely
a righteous man. It has . come to
pass that Henry Ward Beecher has
confessed in Plymouth pulpit that the
"South is without a rival in all the
grand virtues that axioirn anof honor

Report of the? Committee of Investiga
tion to the Board .ofTruatee of the
Vnirergity f Vorth Carolina, June
1, 1882. '
Afc a meeting of tle BoarcL of Trus
tees of the University of N6rth Caro
lina, held at the Executive office in
Raleigh, in January, 1882, a commit
tee, consisting of Messrs. W. L. Steele,
C. M. Cooker R. B. Peebles, NH. D.
Wilson and W. J. Yates, was appoint
ed to visit Chapel Hill,, examine the
accounts of the Treasurer, the mode
of management of the Institution,
and its general condition, and report
upon the same to the. Board, during
the week of the annual Commence
ment. The faculty gave the committee all
facilities for the performance of. their
work, and explained the mode of in
struction pursued in the different de
partments of the institution. The
committee are fully persuaded, from
all sources and means of information,
that the general plan adopted and
carried into execution is far better
adapted to the ends which the Uni
versity was founded to accomplish,
than any system heretofore prac
ticed. The mere fact that all the young
men employed as assistants at the
State Agricultural Bureau to aid in
the analyses of soils, fertilizers and
waters, are recent graduates of the
University, who have shown their
capacity to do creditable work, de
monstrates that, in this department
at least, the instruction is more
thorough than it ever was in its his
tory. Indeed, it may well be doubt
ed whether better facilities for tte ac
quisition of this branch of useful and
practical learning are offered at any
college or university in the entire
South, 'or surpassed by many institu
tions in the country, even where they
have had such advantages for a high
standard as are not possessed by our
section. The undersigned can say
with confidence that, when he was a
student here, no graduate, whatever
his rank may have been, could have
gone into a laboratory and made such
accurate analyses, as are now made
by those who passed their pupilage at
this institution, since the establish
ment of the present system. In this
single department, therefore, there
is every reason for confident hope
that the present and future genera
tions of our people will derive great
and substantial benefits, worth far
more than the cost of their produc
tion. The advantages are so plain
that all men can see them.
In regard to the other depart
ments, much of a similar character
can be said. Every one of them is of
great value to the public. No intelli
gent man fails to recognize the im
portance of the classics to a liberal
education, or denies that such an edu
cation is essental to the highest type
of civilization. . '
Because the benefical effects are
not so readily seen, it is not to be in
ferred t hat good is not done. In the
physical world the blessings to man
kind which comes from heat and
light and moisture are known to all ;
and yet there are other causes, less
distinguishable, which are of equal
value in the production of what our
wants require. Such may be said of
the influence exerted upon the estate
of mankind by certain branches of
learning. The study of the languages,
of history, rhetoric, metaphysics and
the natural sciences, is a valuable ad
juvant in the management of the
practical affairs of life, and cannot be
neglected, or even subordinated, in
any institution which understands
its powers as an agency for the good
of the human race. The methods
adopted and practiced, in all the mat
ters relating to these subjects, are
just such its experience and observa
tion have taught to be the best "for
the diffusion of knowledge among
men." The professors and instruc
tors are not only learned in their sev
eral departments, but devoted to their
work, and understand the art of
practical rather than theoretical
teaching. They recognize the - fact
that their success depends in some
measure upon gaining the respect and
confidence of the young men under
their charge; and; accordingly, their
demeanor is such, that all the stu
dents feel that their teachers are
men, fully endowed with human
sympathy, ready to assist in leading
them up to knowledge, and to treat
them with the courtesy and kindness
which is a moral duty. This begets
a corresponding obligation, and har
mony between faculty and students
ffl a natural result."
THE DEPORTMENT OF THE STUDENTS.
It affords the committee sincere
pleasure to, be able to speak in com
mendation of the general good con
duct and gentlemanly bearing of the
young men connected with the Uni
versity. It is not to be expected.that
when numbers of youths are collect
ed together from all parts of the State,
free from the restraining influences
of the family association, no instance
of disorder, or even of flagrant in
fraction of the law, will occur. The
home circle is not entirely free from
such cases. But the committee feel
warranted in saying that the conduct
of the students, as a whole, is very
commendable, and demonstrates that
they appreciate the position which
they occupy c and tfw "Cbjepi.w hich
they eame here to gain. This gives
much- hope for their .usefulness in
future life; and no little of this excel
lent behavior, the committee believe,
is to be attributed to the kindness of
the faculty, and their inculcation of
such moral precepts as tend to the
elevation of the human character.
Gentleness, coupled with firmness,
will always beget more beneficial re
sults than harshness. An appeal to
the honor and inate sense of right, of
a young man, will do far more to
wards restraining him from the com
mission of wrong, than an appeal to
his fears; for we may all be "led into
the way of truth," but we cannot be
driven into it. We are haDDV to sav.
that we believe the seeds of kindness
sown by the faculty have yielded
most excellent fruit; and the young
men, themselves, deserve credit for
thessistance which they have given
in the production of this result. Both
faculty and students are entitled to
congratulation.
OTHER MATTERS.
Besides the schools to which we
have generally and specially referred,
there is a Department of Law, under
the direction of the Hon. John Man-
ning, a graduate of the institution,
and for years a successful practition
er. Your committee took occasion, to
be present at one of his examinations,
and were pleased to note the progress
of his class. Much good may be rea
sonably expected to come from this
department. The teacher is learned in
his profession, and has the capacity
to teach his students with thorough
ness..
Chapel Hill is not surpassed by any
place as a location for a school of law,
an& ne believe that this is so plain,
that but a short while will pass, be
fore many young men will avail
themselves of its peculiar advantages,
who are in no other -way connected
with the University. .
The School of Medicine and Phar
macy is under the charge of Dr.
Thomas W. Harris, who is also a
graduate of the institution, and who,
after graduating at a medical college
in New York, pursued his studies for
two years in Paris, France. He is
recognized as a man who has utilized
his many facilities for the acquisition
of learning, and is abundantly capa
ble of imparting full instruction to his
class.
Your committee feel gatified in say
ing that the University has met, and
is sending, all the obligations which
just men will say it owes to the public.
It has facilities for teaching, and its
faculty are capable of teaching, all
which is needed in university educa
tion. With the colleges and schools,
of the State, it can raise North Caro
lina to the place which we ought to
occupy, and which, before many de
cades shall have passed, we will oc
cupy among the States of the Federal
Union. It should be its aim, and it
is its aim, to enter with vigor into a
final and noble contest for the pro
duction of good in the moral and in
tellectual education of our people,
without heartburning and jealousies,
desiring triumph, not for the sake of
its glories, but for the blessings which
it confers.
It is but just to say that Messrs.
Wilson, Yates and Peebles, members
of the committee, who had been de
tained for reasons beyond their con
trol, reached Chapel Hill before this
report was written, assisted the chair
man in its preparation, and fully as
sent to the substance as well as the
views which it expresses.
The moral tone prevading the in
stitution is worthy of all praise, and
parents may feel, with entire confi
dence, that their sons will be as free
from temptations to do wrong as they
would be at any similar establish
ment either within or without the
borders of the State. In the religious
services in the Chapel and in the sev
eral churches m the village, there is a
distinct recognition of the Christian
Religion, and its doctrines are regular
ly taught in one of the schools of the
University, as not only essential to
the life which is to come, but as a
means of preserving the liberties of
the people, and otherwise advancing
their temporal welfare. This, with
the other advantages of the institu
tion, which have been partially enu
merated, renders it worthy of the
patronage of this and other States of
the Union.
Trusting that this report discloses
a state of affairs 'gratifying to the
Board of Trustees, "and that these
guardians of the University feel satis-
fled with the conduct and capacity.
of the faculty, who have it. imme
diately in charge, the undersigned,
in behalf of the committee, has tlie
honor to submit it for their considera
tion.

Whitla' Grave.
New York, June 5, 18S2. I devoted
my "Decoration Day" holiday, Tues
day last, to the memory of my old
friend, Gen. W. H. C. Whiting, who,
as you doubtless recollect, was
wounded and captured at the fall of
Fort Fisher, brought to Governor's
Island as a prisoner of war, died
there, March 1865, and was buried in
Greenwood Cemetery. Heretofore it
had not been easy to find his grave,
ana in ine bummer time was com
pletely hidden by a flowering shrub
whose limbs were borne down over it
by myriads of blossoms. I foond it
first, perhaps eight years ago, by
finding the head stone at the grave
of Mrs. Wendell, (the mother or Rev
Dr. Watson, of Wilminrton,) who
was buried in the same lot. Mrs
wenaeii8 ana wen. v luting s are
the only graves in the lot. Last year,
as I was aware, Dr. Watson and sev
eral other gentleman of Wilmington
had a neat head stone of white mar
ble in the shape of a shield, placed on
Gen. Whitinc's crave, eivine his
name, his rank of Major-General in
the Confederate Army, and dates of
birth and death. The first time I
visited the spot I found a card fasten
ed to a limb of the shrub, on which
was written as follows: "This grave
of Gen. Whiting decorated bv Mrs,
Hiram Miller of Brooklyn, on Satur
day June 12, 1874." In the Directory
I found that Mrs. Miller resided at
No. 5 Middach street. Brooklvn
Heights. But that is all 1 knew of
her. I copied and have preserved the
inscription, hoping that at some time
or other I might have an opportunity
to thank her for her tribute to the
memory or the dead hero. From
that day to this I believe that the on
ly attention paid to the grave, outside
of that given by the laborers employ
ed in the cemetery, was my annual
deposit of a flower pot upon it. What
was my surprise, therefore, on Tues
day, to find that the luxuriant flow
ering shrub had been so trimmed as
to leave the grave and the shield visi
ble, thafv other shrubs and quite a
number of flowers had been planted
all around it, ' and that everything
was in order. By the time I had de
posited my contribution, a lady came
up and placed a small flag on the
grave, ur course 1 mtroouced my
self to her, and found that she was
Mrs. Robert B. Thompson, of 327
Sackett street, Brooklyn; that she
and her husband had lived in Mobile
and New Orleans before the war ; that
being natives of the North they had
returned here in January, 1861, just
before hostilities commenced, and
that he had - entered the Northern
array and served throughout the war.
Warmly attached to the South and
Southern people, as she and her hus
band were, he had been at much
trouble, by correspondence and other
wise, in finding the grave of Gen.
Whiting, had planted the flowers
about it, and will see to it, as Mrs.
Thompson said very emphatically,
that it shall not hereafter want for
care. It gave me great pleasure to
hear all this, and I write it that you
and your readers may share in that
pleasure. The whole savors of that
generous and magnanimous spirit so
frequently found in the soldiers on
either side who fought against each
other, and so rarely, if ever, found
in the Northern politicians, the class
who were "invisible in war and invin
cible in peace."
Greenwood is always a lovely spot,
but I never was more impressed with
its beauty than on this visit. The
luxuriant grass, the freshly opened
foliage of the forest trees, the
thousands of dogwood and other
trees in bloom, the flowers about the
myriads of graves, the beautiful and
grand monuments, all showed to
perfection under as bright a sun and
as balmy an atmosphere as could be
seen out oi Italy, it mere. ti. in

Turning to the fat man who had
been reading a newspaper and taking
no part in the discussion, he asked :
"Do you agree with me that the
prices on necessaries of life still go
higher?"
"I do."
"And the results must be disas
trous?"
"They must."
"Rents will advance, won't they?'
"They will."
"And coal, clothing, boots and
shoes?"
"Yes.
"And hundreds of rich men will be
brought low?"
"They will."
"And thousands of poor families
will sip the dregs of poverty?"
"Just so."
"And the country will see such
dark days as it never saw before?"
"Quite correct.'
"Well sir," continued the other af
ter drawing a long breath, "what
would you recommend?" .
"If I were you, I should use plenty
of soap and water, and pat on a clean
shirt at least once a month f was the
calm response. .

Washixoton, June 12, lS82. Gui
teau is now keenly sensible of his
rapidly approaching doom. ' A repre
sentative of the Oosrrrr visited the
jail Saturday afternoon and was,with
others, admitted to see , the condemn
ed assassin of Garfield. Warden
f Crocker was busy when the visitors
called ; but soon led the way to the
jail. Guiteatr was in his cell, his bed
room, as he calls it. His guard, the
death-watcher, was pacing the corri
dor fn front of the cell. The stone
floor of tb corridor has been covered
with a carpet, knd' inside the cell wne
brightened with some flowers, which .
were placed on a chair near the door.
Guiteau was not much inclined to
talk, but seemed a little annoyed that
visitors were brought to his bedroom
instead of his reception room, or
"office," as ho calls the other cell.
As the visitors entered, accompanied
by Warden Crocker, ho turned to
him, with a showing of impatience
in his face, and said :
"You should not have brought
these gentlemen to me in this cell."
Turning again to the visitors ho
said :
"I am feeling much better than
during my trial ; I was very weak
then, but am in better health now."
He was dressed with scruiHilous
neatness, with dark pants and vest,
but no coat, the day having been ex
ceedingly warm. He wore a broad
standing collar, turned down at th
front, with dark tie and a whito
handkerchief thrown carelessly about
his neck. This, he explained to a
member of the party, ho kept about
his neck to protect him from the
malaria.
"We have conjiderable malaria
here, you know," he said, "and I
must protect mysel f from it."
"Have you had any malarial trou-,
bles?" was asked.
"Not recently," he replied: "I had
some soon after I came here, but none
this spring; my health has been very
good of late."
He appears now to much better ad
vantage than he did on trial. He is
in better condition physically. His
face is full, and the wild, vicious,
look of that occasions is not percep
tible. His smoothly-shaven face-and
cropped mustache are an improve
ment in appearance upon the bushy
beard, which he then wore. The
flowers which ornamented his cell, ho
supposed were sent in by parties out
side, and looked at them with a
touch of pride. Warden Crocker ex
plained; showever, that they grew on
the grounds and were given him by
the jail employes. " .
''We let him think," said her"that
they were sent in oy parties outside;
but the fact is, theyare not, nor is .
anything of any sort sent him since
he has been here nobody not even

several times to his guard, who
in tne corriaor, to bring in 6onvo
photographs and autographs, but as
the guard did not comply he finally--returned
to his seat at the rear of the?
cell. In view of the hear approach
of the execution of Guiteau, Warden
Crocker is daily beseiged by appli
cants for admission to witness the
hanging. Very few, however out
side of the members of the press and
attaches of the court will he permit
ted within. Parties outside of Wash
ington have written here recently
offering all the way from $5 to- fioo
for a ticket. Warden Crocker has
selected a man to act as executioner,
the same who has officiated in the
same capacity here several times.
Guiteau signed another paper to
day at the instance of his counsel.
This signing documents is about all
the writing he indulges in now, hiw
time being wholly occupied in read
ing the Bible and lying on his cot,
pondering.
It is probable that Mr. Reid will on
Tuesday ask the court for a writ of
habeas corpus in Guiteau 's behalf but
even should it be granted it will avail
nothing without a stay of execution
from the President, which is wholly
improbable. Washington CorresjHjn
