REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.. . Hon. Richard W. Thompson, of Indiana, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, advanced to the platform and reported as follows i J 1 ' 1 - "The "National Republican pasty of the United States, assembled in National Convention in the City , of Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1 8G8, make the . following declaration of principles: !" '" "1. We congratulate the country on the assured : success of the recon struction policy of Congress, as ; evinced by the adoption j ia a majority of the States lately, in rebellion, of cotstitntiona securing equal ' civil and political rights to all; and we regard it as the duty of the Government to sustain those inatitua lions, and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. , - . . . , - . "2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage r to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude and of ' justice, and must be maintained; while the question . of suffrage In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. 9 "3. We denounce all forms of repudiation as aav tional crimes, and the national honor requires the payment of tbe public indebtedness, in the utmost good faith, to all creditors; at home and abraad, not only according to the Utter, but the spirit of the laws ander which tit was contracted. r . It ia due to the labor of the nation that taxa- " tion should he equalized and reduced as rapidly as oar national faith will permit. ? ,u- . 6. The national debt, contracted as it has been - for the preservation of tbe Union for all time to como . ahoald be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of - interest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. "6.

Root, entitled "Fight it out on tbe old L nioa line," was sung and received with great favor. NOMINATION OF VICE-PRESIDENT. ? The correspondent of the Gazette describes the contest as follows r' ' f- When at last the alls of the States began, it soon became evident that 'the 'tendency of 'the wavering "vote was mainly to Wade. Wilson's column1 in Alabama broke and gave Wade two; his ' column in Georgia broke and gave Wade seven; Ken tuck' came in with thirteen more Maryland wheeled into line with ten; but when Ohio herself was called, ; the Chairman announced that thirtyeight votes were cast for Wade and four for I Colfax. . The break, came so soon, in such a'dangerous direction, as to produce decided sensation! Some of the .excited delegates back of the Ohio crowd, could not restrain their displeasure, and Tented it in hisses. These ' were soon quieted, however. The" call ' went on,1 showing gains for Wade in sev- " eral other quarters, which far more than made up in numbers the little loss from Ohio, but could not restore tha moral

effect of the unbroken State front.y The sensation was all the greater since J udge Spaulding, in a speech on "the nomina-

before tfee first ballot was taken, that he, I had never known Ohio unanimous in a National Convention, and be felt this unanimity to be a token of certain success. The four men who. on this second ballot, turned from Wade to Colfax, were McFarland, of Butler; Nettleton, of Sandusky ; Coleman,7 of Troy ; and Hunt of Kenton. They had evidently calculated the effect of their demonstrations at this time, and seemed confident of being Sustained. ! 1 r 1 '""Somebody now" wanted" to radjourn, but the' Convention was excited as a party of gamblers when the bets range range among 'the thousands, and" the hands have been dealtout,and'n6 "Suggestions of dinner could be tolerated. The third .ballot'' showed ' few ' changes, save that Colfax gained here and there a few votes. " Wilson lost, and Curtain ran down to the solitary vote of his own State. The crisis was ' now known by everybody to be at hand,fwhen Colonel Alex. McClure, of Pennsylvania, one of the. shrewdest wire-pullers of that State of wirepullers, took the platform to read a letter of withdrawal from Gov. Curtin. Pennsylvania had fifty two votes. Where would they go? Wade had reason to expect them, and it was pretty certain that wherever their weight was thrown victory would perch. Evidently Pennsylvanians themselves saw their power,, and fully appreciated their situa tion. The . tendency still appeared to be toward Wade as the call progressed. Wilson lost on all hands, till, like Cnrtfn, he seemed passing out of the list of candidates, but when Ohio was called her own vote for Wade was one weaker. The came four had voted again for Colfax with Humphill, of Ripley, who had joined them on the third ballot, and tliey were now further reinforced by John Campbell, of Ironton. Pennsylvania coming next, cast 33 votes for Wade, and rousing cheers went up at this significant addition, but the rest of her strength wvent for Colfax. Wade had ia all 204 votes, Colfax had 186, Fenton was only holding his own. , The nexft ballot told the tale. McLane now sweng his Pennsylvania balance the other way. He had first tried to produce a break fo r Wade; he now tried it for Colfax. Tno vote of Wade -came down from 33 to 20F and 30 were cast for Colfax. The sensation was decided, and Iowa, eager at any xatje for Colfax, jumped at thechance to begin the break. Its chairman shouted that Iowa withdrew the votes from Fenton, and cast its full vote solid for Colfax. An instant before the cheers had fairly begun, McLane was up : "Pennsylvania asks to change her vote. , She casts her 62 votes solid for Scuyler Colfax." The work was done. What followed was, a mere scramble for precedence in the race for changing off to Colfax. The Indianians cheered till their throats gave out. The f galleries, which seemed to sympathize Strongly with ColfftX from the Start, pro- E i longed and intensified the uproar; and j with a struggle between New York and Ohio as to who should have the honor j of moving that the nomination be made ! -unanimous, the name of Schuyler Colfax, the printer boy of South bend, was placed beside that of Grant, the tanner of .Ripley, on the Presidential ticket. - REASONS WHY. t The reason why there was eleven ar- j' tides of Impeachment against A; J.: It ? was believed that a Mttle 'leven would t Ieven the lumpl ,; ' - - Reasons for Impeachment failure: Too much metalic substance in the lump; a sudden attack of Rip- Trr Winkle sleep; a worm in the 12os-bud; the goring of a Tram Bidl ; the snare 6f n 'Fowler; the death of old Grimes; the nori-incubating qualities of a ffen-derson, aided by a Doo little1 propensity; the weakness of a Kor-toncr, the beaddled condition of Billy Patterson', caused when he was "struck; ' the lailare of A.

MAYOR YOUNG'S MESSAGE. TX

To thb HoNonastB Common Council, or. thb Citt or RicHMoxaf 1 r? i-- '4 Gentlemen : I aave tbe honor -to submit to yon my first annual message, together with the annual re ports of the City Treasurer, Ctty Clerk and Chief otfl Police. And as the legal voters of the City of Rich moud have thought fit in their wisdom to say (through tbe ballot box ; to ons half of oar number, , Well done good and fafthful servants, return again to thy labors in our service," I can but add that I trust the unanimity f feeling, harmony, concert of action and proper decorum, which have so' pre-eminently char acterised all four deliberations during the yearinat 4 is past, will still pervade your councils ; that party bickering and atrife as heretofore will be ignoredf and tbe general welfare of our thriving City bold a monopoly over every, other consideration; and the result, as in the past will be apparent and gratifying. From tbe Treasurer's report, the bonded debt of the city at this time is 82,490 00, vith a balance of cash in the treasury of' $22,554 89, which amount will very soon be absorbed In the payment of bonds falling due, thereby reducing the bonded debt of the city Id $39,034 11, about $12,000 less thanlt was one year ago, and leaving a balance, of about $9,000 of delinquent taxcity works and rents unpaid as assets! Of this amount, however, it will doubtless be Impracticable to collect together with other incomes, a sufficiency to meet current expenses until the revenue of 1868 can be made available ; hence, the necessity of holding over some of our bonds falling due this season; 'From this ahowiog, you readily perceive that the financial condition of the city is certainly very satisfactory. In this connection, I respectfully call your attention to the necessity of pro. riding by ordinance for the timo of sale of real estate for delinquent taxesf The charter makes provision .for the sale of real estate for the payment of delinquent taxes, but fails to designate the time at which " such sales shall be made. ' " It affords me pleasure to say to you, that al'thhugh some important acquisitions to our city which were fondly hoped for during tio year are still deferred, the city of Richmond is still a "live town," and her citizens to-day manifest that indomitable spirit of industry and enterprise that has so long . characterized our .'people,' and broad acres which a few years ago were covered with a dense forest, are being, dotted over with comfortable if not stately -' dwellings, presenting an appearance ol neatness' and . thrift not surpassed in Eastern Indiana. . Onr man- . nfacturing interests are being pushed forward with a zeal highly commendable, and compare most favorably with any other inland town west of the mountains.- ' .ta-i-.. .. Our com mercial interests are well represented, and are by no means insignificant. .Whilst our mechanical departmentstands unrivaled, either East or West. " Our public schools are said to be of a model cbarac- . ' ter.bcst known however to those having them in im- , mediate charge deficient only in want of scboolroom j a subject which will engross your attention during the coming year, and to which I beg leave to '-' call your special attention. Our present school accommodations are deplorably deficient, and as education is tbe great sheet anchor for the safety of our republican institutions and religious liberties, and the bulwark which surrounds cur nation's glory, perpetuating to cur children prosperity and happiness, it certainly behooves us as fathers, to educate, and educate well, not only the head, but the heart. And in the education of our children aright, good, comfortable school rocn:s are icdirpcnsably necessa- ' ry, and should be an important consideration with ; every parent. . You will see frrm the report of the Treasurer of the Board of School Tiustees, that the ! amount of available building fund in the treasury is insufficient to build the necessary sclool room to f ecommodate tbe vastly increased cumber of pupils, for which it is the imperative duty of the Board of Trustees to provide. It is boj ed, therefore, that you ' will give the matter due consideration, and afford the ; School Trustees that material aid for the erection oi ? school rooms, which you in your better judgment may deem expedient and wise not losing sight, however. ' of the capacity ,adRptatirn and architectural beauty f the bouse or houses to be built, and the probable cost of the same. , Early last year, as you are all aware, this Council was called upon to make an approptiation to aid in the completion of the Richmond and Fort Wayne : Railroad from Richmond to Ridgevil!e. That proposi- - tion was fully discussed and acted npcn,but still lia- . gers upon the confines of tbe old year and constitutes , a part of tbe unfinished business, not in the hands of any of your standing committees, however, but in tho hands nf the Directors of the Railroad Co. In your Proposition to take $100,000 eapital stock in tbe road, proposition certain restrictions in order to secure a proper application of the proceeds of your city bonds, which might be issued in payments of the stock, and secure a completion of the road to a certain point. To these restrictions, however, the Directors of the company seem to have taken exceptions, not made manifest, however, by any official action tiken by the board and transmitted to your honorable body, but so plainly indicated at the annual election for board of directors a short time ago as to render further inquiry relative to the fate of your proposition before the board unnecessary. At that election, under the control of the old board of Directors, you are all aware the $100,000 conditional stock of the city of R icbmbnd was ignored. " The preferences of the City Counc Q in the election of the new board, were also ignored, and the apportionment ot Directors plainly indicated that the city of Richmond with her $185,000 of bona fide and conditional stock was not appreciated. That the completion of the read, however is an object well worthy your attention and consideration, no one will doubt, and I trust yon will give the project -due consideration, and in conjunction with the new board of Directors, lend such aid in the completion of tbe road as in your judgment would be wise and calculated to reflect upon the city of Richmond that enterprising spirit and important bearing which she so deservedly merits. - . A very considerable -amount of well distributed street work has been done during the past year under the supervision of our worthy and energetic Street in the southeastern part of the city added much to the convenience and comfort of our citizens in that ' locality, and the good"restfTts from which bas already been done on that work are a sufficient guarantee for , the further proiecution of the work, and a completion of the same at as early a day as may be practicable and consistent with other public improvements and the condition of the city treasury. And in this connection I cannot too fully impress npon your minds the importance of Main street sewerage. Experience has taught -every property oivuer along the. line of lain street, from Ninth U Marion street that the construction of an adequate sewer along said line would ' more than compensate fcr the cost incurred, in point of wet cellars and disposition of clear slops. As the , project, however, ia already before you in the shapeof . a petition, most numerously signed, I leave the sub- " ject with yon, fully assured that yon will give it that attention its importance demands. The sanitary regulations of our city during the past year under the control and management of most efficient and energetic Board of Health, and our City' Marshal, have been highly satisfactory, and much credit is doe DrT. H. Davis, the President of 'the Board, for the very efficient manner in which be conducted that uepartment. t "garbage" qneation was, a "vexed" one last and under the ordinance recently passed by yoar honorable body, the "sky' to my mind's eye by no means clear for the ensuing year, yet it is to be hoped, however, that our citizens generally wfll tke a plain common sense view of the matter, and cheerfully acquiesce in the provision , of the ordinance. "and award alone to the garbage gatherers their gar- " ,Tbs police regulations of the city daring; the past year hare in the main been most satisfactory. With ' the exception' of adding one "day" notice to the fores there has been no changes made in tbe force during

tbe year. The number of arrests made daring the year past, as yo will see from the report of the Chief of Police, is not large, as also appears from tbe report of the Treasurer, ia the item of "floss snd I

T. TX. Yocho, Mayor. " History ef tsie University of Michigan. " : Eds. Palladium r The University of Michigan bas been regarded and provided for, from the beginning, as an essential part of the system of education established by the Bute. Primary schools are . found in all the townships, and in the larger villages are Union Schools, where all the advantages of preparation for the University may be enjoyed. ' '-V' .-i"s Tbe design of the University is evidently to provide for the higher education of such of the pupils of the Union schools, and others, as may desiie to avail themselves of all the facilities belonging to a true University education. . r . , In 1804, by an act of Congress, a township of land in Michigan was set apart for the support of a University, and in 1817, the Territorial Government took preliminary steps for its organization. In 1821 Trustees were appointed, and in 1824 another township of land was devoted tq its. support by Congress. .When Michigan was admitted in 1837, the University may be said to have become an established insti- ' tution. Its government was vested in twelve regents appointed by the Governor.' The Board of Regents now consists ef eight members elected by the people, for eight years, with terms of office so arranged that two new members are elected every second year. (i . . The funds of tbe . University amounted in 1838 to nearly one million dollars, giving an income of seventy thousand dollars. J Almost all of this was consumed in the payment of BalarieS and other current expenses. 1 For the purpose of enlarging the Library and Philosophical apparatus tbe income from the socalled salt-spring lands was for tbe time being used. K At that time there were several Academies in different parts of the State, called branches of the University. Tbe principal of these were in Kalamvzoo, Monroe and Pontiac. 3 ' n-iiv! - In 1840, the citizens of the village' of Ann Arbor gave to the University a fine piece of ground containing forty acres, and the following year four buildings were erected, intended for Processors' res. idences, but temporarily used as recitation and museum rooms. In the same year (1840 ) the geological and Mineral collection of the Austtian Baron Lederer was presented to the University. A rich collection made on the State Geological Survey was soon after added. As a consequence of the unsaleable character of he land granted by Congress, it was impossible to get the institution in good working order until 1842, at which date the history of the University properly begins. ' "-'' " ' ' At the beginning of 1842 the University was under the charge of Asa Grey, who had just returned from Europe, where he had been selecting the foundation of the library. He purchased about three thousand volumes. I'rof. Grey now occupies the chair of Natural History in Harvard University. While here he gave instructions in Botany and Zoology, and was at first assisted by Prof. Douglass Hooghton. Later in the same year, Prof. Williams and Prof. Joseph Whiting, who were principals of two branch schools, were called to the University, tbe former as Professor ot Mathematics and the latter as Professor of Moral and Mental Philosophy. In 1844 the first catalogue was issued. It contained the names of five Professors and one Tutor, and a Junior class of eleven, a Sophomore class of nineteen and a Fresb-msn class f twenty-three. The memters of the Faculty were, Dr. Douglas Hong h tor eminent for his scientific attainments, and the raau who first brought to light many of the mineral re sources or this State, tie was drowned in Lake Superior in 1845, while prosecuting a geological survey of the State. Rev. Dr. Edward Thompson, now occupying a prominent ecclt siastical position. The Rev. Joseph Whiting, A. M., who died in 1845. The remaining two names have appeared on every cata logue since., .They are the Rev. Geo. P. Williams, L. L. D., and Abram Sager, M. D. That year is memorable for the failure of tbe Bank of Michigan. The University suffered a loss of six thousand dollars in that disaster, but by judicious management it was enabled to proceed with unabated growth. The nun ber of students now rapidly increased. In 1847 Louis Tasquelle was I added to the Faculty as Professor of Modern Languages. In the year 1850 the University consisted of but one Department, that of Science, Literature and the Arts. Tbe Faculty numbered seven and the students seventy-two, divided into classes of Seniors twelve, Junrrs nineteen, Sophomores twenty-four, Freshmen seventeen. The college year was then divided into three terms the winter term beginning in January, the Bummer term ia May, and the fall term in Sep tember. During that year preparations were made for adding a Department of Medicine and Surgery. The following year lectures were commenced with an at tendance of ninety-five students. The Faculty then consisted of ten members. The increase of students tow became so great that the creation of another Department that of Law-was deemed necessary.- The Professors were not appoint ed, however, until some years afterwatds. The next year (1851) the College grounds were improved ; fourteen huudred shade trees planted, (a large number of them paid for' by tho students) changes made in the interior of the Medical Building; the Museum eolarged, and fonr new recitation rooms fitted up in tbe Dormitories. " i r . ' - The Rev. Dr. E. O. Haven resigned his position as Professor of History and English Literature in 1856, and the vacancy was supplied by D. C. Brooks, a recent graduate. The same year Lieut. Wm. P. Trowbridge, a graduate of West Point and connected with the coast survey, was appointed Professor of Mathematics. That year the students numbered three hun dred and ninety, ' The college year was now divided into I wo semesters instead of three terms as formerly. '1 Concluded mext wkek. Ia Memoriam. !
