A MASS MEETING OF THE STUDENTS THE COMPLAINTS MADE AND THE RESOLUTIONS PASSED. To the Editor of the Sentinel Sir: It is a trueism that "truth needs no color, beauty no pencil," and therefore with out comment, I give you the result of a mass meeting of the students of I. A. U., which was held at Brown's Hall last evening. I am informed that by actual count there was one hundred and twenty students present, nuite a representation meeting especially in view of the fact that not all the students have, as vet. returned from vacation. But for the resolves: Whereas. The faculty of I. A. U. have re cently DUbliclr dismissed from the university a number of our fellow 8. udents without giving them opportunity for any defense or Hearing, and without even a notice of what was pending against them; and a number of others having been demerited in the same manner ; and Whkkkas, The tame authorities subsequently gave rive of those dismissed notice that they should not hereafter appear upon the university premises; and afterwards gave us, the other- students of the university, notice that we should have no associations with those who were dismissed : therefore it is Kesolved, By the students of Asbury, duly assembled in mass convention t 1. That we condemn the bogus Asbury Review; and that we avow and advocate tue respect ana ooeui encedue the faculty: but that while we recoe' nize such as our relations and duties to them. we also claim that students nave rights ana privileges which their authority In no wise per mitsthem to abridge in any manner at vaii ance with recognized principles of Justice. 2. That In the treatment of our fellow students as first afordsaid, we consider that they have violated recognized principles of Justice, and that our fellow students have suffered great Injustice and maltreatment at their nanus, a. inaiu the colleges, chaple and premises are considered and used as places of public resort on proper oc casion, and consequently iree ana open to any and all tersons who Drooertly deport them. selves on such occasl : ns ; and since the faculty have forbidden five of oar fellow students to appear upon the university premises, notwithstanding their entire innocence of any Improper deportment whatever on such occasions, therefore, we consider that the faculty have assumed an nnwarantabie and unreasonable authority lo so doing, and that their action is wholly unjustifiable. 4. That as our relations to each other as faculty and students only per mit them to forbid our associating with persons of improper character, and Blnce they have wholly failed to show any evidence that our said fellow students are men with whom It would be Improper to associate, we consider their notice, forbidding such associations, in the same category as their action last before men tioned, and both of a character wnouy unbecoming the dignity of their position as faculty of the university : and therefore, be it Kesolved. That we hereby heartily extend to our said fellow students our warmest sympathy an4 the cordial right hand or ieiiowsmp. I irive the resolutions just as adopted, be cause of the fact, that "our affairs" hereto fore have been missrepresented by partial statements. As I have said ' before, there has been no rebellions Bpirit manifest, and this was not an indignation meeting, but rather one to express in form the prevailing opinion, that our faculty have made a mistake in convicting and punishing the boys from ex-parte evidence. , A mistake , which, in my humDie opinion, amounts to an iniimtioe. if nersisted In. But time work swonders and a showing of hands may yet be had. Who knows 7 cjj.au Grkxncastlx, Isd.i April 14, 1874,

TUE CELEBRATION AT CHISELHURST. THE BIRTH OF PRIXCE LOUIS NAPOLEON THE CELEBRATION OF HIS NINETEENTH BIRTHDAY THE IMPERIAL DEMONSTRATION AND THE ADDRESS THE NAPOLEONIC FOLLOWERS. The London Telegraph thus describes the late scenes at the celebration at Chiselhurst : On Monday, March 16, the nineteenth birth day of Prince Louis Napoleon was celebrated at Chiselhurst by a large concourse of French men and women. Eighteen years ago Paris learned from the booming of the guns at the Invalides that an imperial prince had been born to France. Great was the excitement at the Tuilleries, whither, in expectation of the event, had repaired the omcers of the household, the members of the senate and legislative corps, and the great officers of state. The head nurse presented the infant prince to the great ministers ot state ass era- - - . - . . bled, ana tne Keeper oi tne seais at once drew up an official document,to which were attached the signatures of functionaries of every grade. At twelve at noon for the child baa been corn Detween tnree and lour o'clock in the morning the Prince Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph, heir to the throne of France and King of Algeria, revived the solemn rite of preliminary baptism at the nanus oi tne emperor's nrst almoner, who was supported by Cardinal Dupont, Archbishop of Bourges ; Cardinal Gousset, of Rheims; Cardinal Donnel, of Bordeaux; Cardinal Morlot, or Tours, ana Bishop of Nancy. For godfather the prince had none other than the pope of Home: lor godmother the Queen of Sweden. But today in the Catholic chapel at Chiselhurst where lately lay tne comn or apoieon m. acolvtes and vergers attired in white are stationed. Thealtar is resplendent in colors. tastfully blended; and a wondrously brocade'd altar cloth of gold, which, with its raised gold cross, glitters in the sunshine, combines with lighter tspers, choice llowers, the dark blue wings ornamented with golden rleur-tla-lyä, aud the stained glass window above, to form a really brilliant tout ensem ble. Even the little Gothic chapel which contains the sarcophagus of the emperor is raidant and beautiful. IN THE CHCTX'H. At last eleven o'clock came, and the church is crowded to excess. Suddenly a loud shout is heard outside from the hun dreds and thousands assembled around the hurch yard. "Vive I'Empereur!" is ejiculated over and over again. Slowly they enter through the sacristy door, the em press, habited in deep mourning, leaning on the arm of her son, and followed by Prince Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Lucien Murat, Prince Louis Murat, Prince Charles, and M. Jerome Bonaparte, M. Boucher, the Due de Grammont. the Due de Bassano, the Duo de Pardone, M. Pietri, M. Filon, Baron Corvisart. and Comte Clary. One lady alone at tends the empress, the stately Comtesse de la Poeze. who is well known as the kindliest and most admired of all the noble ladies who met at St. Cloud or the Tuileries. After this there is a general movement toward Camden Place, for there the demon stration which some seven thousand Frenchmen have assembled to assist at will take place. One by one the members of the household arrive, and take up their appointed places upon, or in the vicinity of, the dias. There is Madame and Mile. Rouber conversing with the Comtesse Fleury and the Marechale Canrobert; here the Marquise de Bassano, Mile. Pajot, and the Due de Bassano are grouped ; close by is the Counte Arjuzin, while in the front stands prominently forth M. Paul Cassagnac, of duelling and journalistic notoriety, apparently no worse for the scratch he received in Belgium. Round to the right are the Duchesse de Malakoff, the Marquise de Lavalette, and the Comtesse de Casabianca, together with a posse of gentlemen, among whom are notable the Due de Montmorency, the Prince da Wagram, M. Grandperret, M. Pierard, the Due de Cambaceres, Comte Nieuwerkerque, the Comte Aguado, the Marquis de Legune, and the Comte de la Chapelle. At this moment the sound ot a band is heard, and there is a loud cheering without. An opening is made in the canyass, and, amid deafening shouts, the prince, leading the empress, appears upon the platform, followed by the princes of his family, who sat near him at the altar, together with M. Kouther, the Due de Gramont, the Due de Padone, and many others. One thing is noticeable they all wear the broad ribbon of the legion of honor, some of the party, the prince included, having the star also affixed to the breast. Leaving the Prince Lucien to support the empress, the imperial youth now advances a step or two in front of those who accompany him, bowing repeatedly to the cheers, which continue so long that it is doubtful at times whether the delivery of any address will be possible. 'r'l, . T i. a Ja P.lAn. .fTA. t Vi A nlioArl n- Viaa subsided, reads an address which ho takes from his pocKet. THE PRINCE REPLIES. "Monsieur le Dec, Messieurs: In meeting here to-day you have been actuated by a sentiment of fidelity toward the memory of the emperor, and it is for that I wish first of all to thank yon. The public conscience has avenged all the calumnies of his great career, and sees the emperor now in his true light. You who come from Various fiarts of the country, you can bear this tesimony.. His reign was only a constant solicitude lor the well-being of all; his last day on the soil of France was a day of heroism and abnegation ot elf. Your presence around me, the addresses which reach me in such great numbers, prove the inquietude of France as to her future destinies. Order is protected by the sword of the Duo de Magenta, the former companion of the glories and of the misfortunes of my father. Ills loj alty is a certain guarantee that be will not leave the trust he has received exposed to party attacks. But

material order is r.ot security. The future remains unknown; interests are alarmed at it, and passions may abuse the opportunity. From this is born the sentiment f which you bring me the echo, that which . draws opinion with an Irresistable power toward a direct appeal to the nation to plant the foundations of a definite government. "The plebiscite is the true salvation, and it is just power rendered to authority and the era of long security re-opened to the country it is a grand national - resource, without conquerors or conquered, raising itself above all and bringing reconciliation. Will France, freely consulted, turn her eyes to the son of Napoleon III? This thought awakens within. ;ne less of pride than of diffidence as to my powers. The emperor has taught me how heavily weighs the sovereign authority.even ou stalwart shoulders, and how much self-reliance and the sentiment of duty are necessary to fulfill so high a mission. This faith makes up to me what is wanting in my youth. United to my brother by -the ; most tender and most grateful ties of affection, I will work without ceaslnjr, to anticipate the progress of years. When the hour shall arrive, if auother government shall gain the suffrages of tl e majority, I will bow down with respect before the decision of the country. It the name of the Napoleons should, for the eighth time, emerge from the popular urns, I am ready to accept the responsibility which will be imposed upon me Dy the vote of the nation. These are my thoughts; I thank you for having traversed a long distance and come to receive my expression of thorn. Carry my memory to those who are abseut, and to France the prayers of one of her children ; my courage and my life belong to her. May God watch over her, and restore to her her prosperity and her greatness." I (Pausing at the end of each period, he adroitly allows time for applause without breaking the continuity of his address. When he speaks of his home and ot his affection for his mother, the enthusiasm of the company rises to a tremendous pitch, the occupants of the dais and those who filled the marquee below cheering. After the princo has withdrawn the throng turns to the great tents, where, at long tables covered with viands, refreshment of almost every kind is offered, and engages in the work of eating with an ardor only equalled by its determination to cheer upon every available occasion. In this way the banqueting proceeds, one posse of isitors succeeding another, till in the course of two hours or so tne viands which remain are deserted. THE FOLLOWERS. Of 65 prefects who served under the emperor, 56 are present to-day, the rest being

dead; of the sous-prefects, 33 are here assembled ; 45 ancient deputies are here also and of the present members of the National Assembly are Comte Murat, Messrs. PraxFaris, Ilaentjens, Eschasseriaux, Vast Vimeux,Abbatuccl,LoulayLegraud,Boflinton, Martineau, Sen-, Gavin. Gallini d'Istria, de Temon, and others; while of senators, those already mentioned, together with the Comte de Segun. the Barou de Richmont, and others are also present. From the army there are " representatives, too; but of these the names are suppressed, for an order of the French government has rendered their presence an offence, and they must needs be in cognito. Of the deputation fourteen in all are ad mitted, compriine representatives from all departments of France, and bearing with them in most cases addresses, in some instances flowers, and in some others small souvenirs, whitli they leave in the room as mementoes ot their fidelity to the imperial cause. Their addresses are,for the most part, very short, and are all to be summarized, in a fe"w words, as the expression of affection for the person of the prince and of loyalty to the dynasty of which he is the visible h6ad. With a few kindly words the prince dismisses each group, sh;ik in 2 hands with all who compose it, In this way the afternoon wears on, and as evening approaches the crowds at the park gradually becomes less, as they now begin to throng the little railway station at the foot of the hill, where the attentive station mas ter.Mr. Lord, is endeavoring to find room for momentarily increasing numbers in the trains which he dispatches to London every few minutes. The last of the deputations has been received ; the last crowd gathers in front of the windows through which may be seen the hgures of the prince and his mother; a cneer is raised, the imperial family once more bow their acknowledgements, and the occupants of Camden House are again lelt alone in their glory. THE AGRICULTURAL PROSPECT IN THE SOUTH. AMOUNT OF LAND BEING PLANTED TO CORN, WHEAT, OATS, ETC. A PLATTE RING REPORT FROM ALL SECTIONS. The New Orleans Picayune has accounts from all parts of the South in regard to the acreage of the crops being planted. It says that the farmers throughout the South are planting extensively of corn, wheat, rice and oats. Labor is abundant, and is secured at much lower rates than heretofore. The change of the policy of planters from hiring on shares to monthly wages has had the effect ot clearing the plantations of idlers, and of bringing into the field a large number of laborers. The weather has Deen meat favorable for an early start of the cane, and the indications for a good crop are gratifying. In many of the parishes the extent ot land to be sown in rice will be one-fourth more thau was cultivated last season. From the Attakapas (Southern Louisiana) corn will be the crop upon which the planters will reiy. In many quarters it is already up and seems to be flourishing. From Texas flattering reports are received. The farmers are in fine spirits, and hope that the end may be as good as the beginning. In Alabama large tracts of the magnificent prairie and canebrake, which stretch from Demopolis to Columbus, have been prepared for corn and cereals. Many plantations have been converted into stock farms in consequence of the exodus ol negroes. After three successive failures of the cotton crop in that section the planter has been forced to diversify his crops, and, from bis inability to borrow money, finds himself at last on the right road to independence. As an indication of what Georgia is doing, the newspapers are filled with congratulations that a complete revolution has been effected in agriculture. In the country around Columbus about one hundred thousand bushels of oats have been sowed, which is almost twice the amount of last vear. The acreage in wheat Is much greater ihan last year, and farmers are preparing to plant thirty per cent, at least more corn and use fifty per cent, less ot commercial manures. Altogether, the outlook-for 1874 in the gulf states is most promising. "Necessity is a stern teacher." says the Picayune, "but in her instruction of the past few years she has taught us a lesson which we will be slow to forget." ' Some Brazilian bishops have go themselves into trouble and into prison, by attempting to excommunicato some Free Masons, for which the government sanction had not been given.. Tally one for " that gov't." ' Miss D. Heenan, the sister of the well known. 'American" boxer. ''died recentlv in Berlin. She was undoubtedly one of the most corpulent women in the world, and L literally died from suocation,

DEMOCRATIC CONCALL BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE. There will be a delegate contention heid at Indianapolis on Wednssday, the l,r,th day of July next, by the democracy of Indiana to nominate a state ticaet, to be voted for at the October election, 1S74, and for the transaction of t uch other business s may properly come before It. The ratio of representation in the convention will be one vote for every one hundred votes caHt in the various counties for Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks for governor, at the election in 1SJ2, and one vote for every fraction of fifty votes and over. Tue democratic party of Indiana, claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of All good men v-Mhout regard to past party amiiationtt, who v jw the present condition of our political affairs as Imperatively demanding reform, and who are disposed earnestly to labor for the overthrow of a corrupt party, and a profligate administration, most cordially invite ail nch to unite with it in council ana in action. in these times of oflicialconuption and political misrule, it becemes, more than ever, the duty of all good citizens to require a strict adherence to, and faithful compliance with, the principles upon wh ch our political Institutions rest. Justice and sound pllcy forbid that one branchof Industry should be cherished at the expense of another, or that exclusive privileges should be conferred upon any one claeg of the people; and, therefor, the people viewed with alarm the erowirg tendency to monopolies aud cl;KS legislation, and the overshad iwing influence of the money power in controlling legislation, and in shaping the destinies of the country. These influences must be checked. The only certain aud safe remedies for the dangerous tendencies of the times, are to be found In the strict construction of the federal constitution, and the assumption of no doubtful powers; an honest and economical administration oi our public affairs, both slate and national: the ostracism from public life of all who are found guilty ot othcial corruption, and a strict subordination of the will of the representative to the will of the people, regarding the great body of the people as the only tribunal for the ultimate decision of questions affecting their government, bot h as to men and measures. The people have no divided interests, but all alike desire to see: 1. Labor protected against the encroachments or mere money power ; 2. The industrial Interests guarded against the exactions of monopolies; 3. The public burdens enlightened by honesty and economy in the administration of public affairs. Moreover, the people would like to see such changes effected In our financial system as will guard against the rapid fluctuations in prices, consequent upon the sudden contraction and expansion of our currency, with such additions to its present volume -s the business of the country requires, adopting and discriminating in favor of legal tender treasury notes as against national bank currency. There is no hope or securing these reforms through the agency of the party iu power. We therefore call upon all good people to meet with ns in convention, and to act with us at the polls, iu behalf of these proposed measures, and to aid In Istaying the progress ot corruption and mis rule.

An Independent Xewspapa: THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL. THE NETVSFAPER OF INDIAN1, UNTRAMMELED AND NONPARTISAN. DAILY, 8U2TDAT 5D WKnTAT. Betting out on a somewhat new and untried path last year, the Sentinel defined at length and in detail its purposes. To those who have watched that course it reasserts its claim for continued countenance and loyal support. The löentlnel promised last year perfect Independence from all partisan ties. It promised earnest, unrelaxim efforts in the prod action and presentation of a wholesome, refined and trustworthy news medium. In the success f that effort tt has the cordial endorsement of a vast number of Its osteinporary Journals, and the written assurance of great constituency of ministers, teachers, lawyers and families. The measure of the Sentinel's success is, however, best shown by the position which It has taken within the year, as the Hist newspaper of the State, and a leading newspaper of the W est. To this tact nearly every Journal of Intelligence and discrimination in the Ktats has borne testimony, as well as tiie swelling lists of new readers who have Joined its ranks friends. This In a ceneral way. For the next year the Sentinel reaffirms its attitude In the past year the organ of no party or creed the temperate advocate, only, of the most generous measures in Church and 16 Late. I will continue to rubllsh all the news at the ear liest moment. It will reflect the sentiment- nt the people, and hold itself outside or all party ties. It will support only honest nion for office and demand a pledge of character, not party. It will uphold zealously the hands of all men honest and earnest In reform, no matter what their party or predictions, and it will strive to give all sides a hearing In the changing topics that fill the public mind from time to time. The Sentlnjl has no policy to maintain as or posed to the will of the majority. Its colum are meant to be a fair reflex of the rational will of the community, where all men can have a hearing freely. The Sentinel believes that a continuance of the baleful partyism of the past must inevitably sap the foundation of the Re public and destroy every distinctive feature o democratic government. To this end It enoour ages heartily the obliteration of the corrnp power which has strangled honesty In office dur lng the last seven years; a power which brings the nation into bankrutcy on the verge of the new year, and by its flagrant disregard of ths first principles of government, plunges the country into all the hardships of war and pes tilence. Under whatever conditions reform may come. the Sentinel will give Its best eiTorts for Its success, maintaining at all times its own perfect freedom to uphold and m&lntaln genuine, not simulated reformation. . . , On the great industrial questions, now moving the public mind, the Sentinel will maintain a hearty, earnest co-operation with all struggling men seeking to better themselves mentally, physically, and every way. It believes that the present revenue laws work mischievously and dlscrlmlnately against the producer and In favor of the non-producer, and that any reform which does not make farmer's rights and revenue reform solid planks of its platform andactiv measures in Its policy, does not deserve the sympathy of Intelligent men The Farmers' movement received Its first recognition In this section from the Sentinel. Its efforts shall continue ts be directed toward the strengthening of that design. In its opposition to political, railroad and financial monopolies, the Sentinel will continue an honest support. While farthering all Interests in this direction, wisdom must be called in to keep the crusade against public abuse, monop oll es, and the like, from degenerating into demagogs ery. in all emergencies of this nature, ths Sentinel will attempt full and Impartial Justloa to all who trust It. Concerning its general features as a newspaper, the Sentinel will hold its rank as the foremost, in ths State, by a continuance of the same policy of liberal expenditures whenever events of moment occupy the public mind. The Matures rot which this paper has become popular and distinguished during the IasI year, will be carried out still more fully, if possible, the coming year, and every department made of vital, abiding laterest and usefulness to the home circle, the minister, the lawyer, the educator in short, a! classes who want a pure and upright press, no trammeled by party and nn warped by prejudice The Sentinel la not only the oompletest news paper in its presentation of news and Its coa ments thereon, but it is a visitor every day U the year for the 363 days omitting no public tlon on any pretext. It Is, in this respect, one 1 1 the most valuable news mediums In the 8 late. In short, the Sentinel means to keep ahead of the brilliant progress of the State. It means to give voloe to the most liberal, enlightened and purest sentiment of the time, and In this respect claims a distinctly special mission. It depends on its character as an independent and fearless news medium for growth and support, and makes no pretext of cheap premiums to secure reluctant supporters. ' - Its market reports regular, special a ad com piled, are the fullest, most divertified and com plete presented in any Journal of similar r sources In the country. Its law, educational and . industrial reports, which have attracted general attention In the past, shall be continued with equal care and accuracy la the rutnre,and cost spared in perfecting such details as will rer . der them In every way the features ot Indian a Journalism. In a special way, the Sentinel better able to present a complete newspapts. than any of its rivals In the West. It has e 3 party obligations of any character, and is eonao ' quently enabled to give ail sides of current con troversies, irrespectlvs of prejudices of men or parties. As a reflex ef th Krowttt ef Indianapolls, the Sentinel takes marked precedence of all rivals. Its city columns are fuller in detail and more accurate in preparation than any mlim llardepartraentln ths West, and the fact is attested by the Sentinel's universal circulation la the city. The Bunday Sentinel reaches a greatsrconstltuency than any dally in the State,and lacreases at as unexampled rate from week toweek, not only in the city, but thioogboat -J parts ef the State accessible by Bunday trains.
