Happy Congratulations and Sentimental Fare- wells—A Great Crowd of Visitere—Address of Ex-Governor Seymonr on the niversity Organisation— Brilliant Exercises, Sonmnsorapy, N. Y., July 2, 1873, Brightened by glorious sunshine and fanned by deliciously cool breezes commencement day has been most lovely and cheeriul, and the town has been intoxicated with the excitement attendant upon its festivities. Throngs of visitors poured in from all directions on the early trains, and the streets were enlivened by the brilliancy and nov- elty of a great multitude, which seemed gaily to mock the usual quietude of their sylvan shadows. Farm equipages, laden with rurat paternity and beauty, drove to the various hotels at unseason- ably early hours in bewildering and confusing numbers. At half-past nine the college grounds were a picturesque and inspirited sceno— the brignt groups of spectators, which had gathered on the green to witness the forma- tion and starting of the precession, in notable con- trast with the grave stolidity of the cold limestone walls of the halls of learning, that seem to frown the very town at their feet into more than natural solemnity of character. The procession waa headed by the Premdent of the University, Dr. Eliphalet Nott Potter, followed by ex-Governor Seymour, ex-Senator Harris, Dr. Walworth, Secre- tary of the Board of Regents; James Brown, the Wall street banker; Howard Potter, the Rev. Dr. Henry C. Potser, of Grace church; Clarkson Potter, Judge Blatchford and other gentlemen of distinc- tion, the seniors and the lower classes. The streets were fringed on both sides’ by dense lines of lookers-on, among whom eager, feminine curiosity gained, by its customary and pardonable audacity, @ very conspicuous concession of posi- tion, The delicate handkerchiefs which the dear ladies waved at the manly but self-conscious seniors were signals of admiration which amply compensated masculine humanity for the incon- veniences, if this term is not too candid, imposed by tne code of gallantry. The avenue of beauty was @ perfect Mutter of semi-joyous and semi- envious excitement (when all women wished themselves successful seniors); but this was over in afew moments, Then there began a great and frantic rush for the First Reformed church, where the final exercises were to take place. It is @ fine edifice and was filled to its utmost capacity. The airy flutter of delicate fans, warm-tinted rib- bons and the rippling surface of the sea of human faces, contrasted picturesquely with the solidity of the noble architecture of the interior, composed a very pretty scene. Many ol the ancient and ven- erable graduates of Union of long years ago were there—their honored presence impressing one with @ deep appreciation of the nobility of that indl- viduality, bestowed on her votaries by education. Before the opening of the exercises two strong and youthful ushers tenaerly escorted to the plat- form Dr. J. V. R. Lansing, of Albany, a very feeble old man on the very verge of the grave, who is a raduate of the class of 1813. His age is nearly a undred peed The following was the ORDER OF EXERCISES.

This being the first commencement since the new organization, the presence of the ofticers of all the different institu- tions, which are now united, was regarded as very auspicious. The Rey. Dr. J. T, Backus, of Schenectady, an uncle of the Walworth parricide, delivered tue opening prayer. The Hebrew oration, resounding with echoes of the eloquence of Aaron, the high priest, was much appreciated by the attentive audience. A conspicuous Weakness of memory wus @ deplorable fault of several of the orators, who illustrated the fact that an author does not always know by heart the productions of his own genius. The eoune, ladies of the audience as usual bombarded the heroes of academic struggles whom they admired with ponderous bouquets until the stage was literally covered with a carpeting of dislocated petals. Some very venerabie and highly Tespectable individuals sustained contusions on various organs of the jace through unconsciously impeding the course of these affectionate missiles, and the dignified and petted President himself did not escape uuscathed. The comparative quan- tity of flowers hurled at a senior by his iriends is usually a good means of deter- ining which of the class is pre-eminently the “adies’ man.’’ The oration, by Eugene L. Mapes, of Florida, on “The Limitations of Philosophy,” was the best delivered, and was quite commendable. The same well remembered scene transpirea— which do always transpire in all except a tew cases—the martyrdom ef public exposure on the stage; the fearful struggle and the delusive tri- umph of oratory, and a dozen persons in one por- tion of the church applauding with might and main, and chucking bouquets at the young man to whom probably they bear the disinterested relation of Jather, mother, sisters, brothers and aunts. It is at least Carrie The Juser|w i) | bested gs of judicions selections by the Me! ssobn Quintet Club, were well rendered, After the oratory was conclttdéd the University exercises, presided over by the Hom Ira Harris, President of the Albany Law School and of the Board of Trustees, were begun by the introduction of ex-Governor Seymour to the audience, who ap- plauded him. He spoke nearly as follows :— EX-GOVERNOR SEYMOUR’S ADDRESS. ‘The interest of this occasion was augmented by the fact that the institution had assumed anew aspect, taken upon itself larger duties, haa leaped enclo-ures from which act it had derived anew more vigor and strength to accomplish success than it ever possessed before. In the educational scheme the University was the finest feature. In his opinion all the other colleges in the country should be compelled to follow in the track of this new departure in education, going back to the wisdom of our fathers by taking one step in the development of the scheme, un- equalied in liberality and depth, which they origin- ated. The idea of a college had been lor years and still Was that of a somewhat secluded place, shut of from the world, a remaining vestige of the oid monastic forms. Learning had in a former day its origin imreligions institutions, of whose influence its broad field still retained evidences. He would compare the educational history of New York with that. of other States, because only out clearly in this way could he bring its distinet features. The colleges of Massachusett 8 We owed much to New England for her example and teachings, but he yet thought that her conception of education was far short of the the fiheral ideas which were entertained in New York. The colieges of New England were first most intent upon theological rn then upon the various learned professions, now upon special pursuits of study. On the other hand, if we look back throt the history of our own State, we would find r different class of views am: ne the pioneers and guardians of education. We mus' bear witnessto the excellencies of the first colo- nists, the Hollanders. When colleges were first es- tablished in this State its people were the most advanced in the country in many re- spects. They brought here nearly the same ideas about religious education as the Pilgrims, and the directions of the Dutch company to the clergymen who went out with its colonies and were given rants of land were for them to establish schools. ut they had large ideas with to the rign of all creeds and all nationalities. They not only sent abroad great ideas of religious liberality, but also brought here representatives of all nat: ties, from whose harmonized wiadom upsprut hoblest and best form of civil human government. They admitted jnto their new land settlers of all races; and one remarkable fact is very notable in history. Write down the names of nine of the native families of this State who have been recognized for distinction of talent and worth, and you will find that they spring from nine different nationalities, illustrating the fact that the grand ideas of liberality were centred in New York. A popaiation thus comps was @ State fitted to enter upon the duties of devising laws and making @ constitution for establishing government, Out of it grew Statesmanship in many respects superior to that found elsewhere. ‘There was nothing in political literature more im- pressive to him than that which instituted the University Of New York.

The indications of the thermometer marked be- low do not give the most correct idea of the heat in the cliy. The thermometer in front of the HERALD Building is placed in one of the coolest spots in the city, just where if there in a breeze light as a zephyr’s it is pleasantly felt. On the op- posite side of the street is old St. Paul’s, with the shady trees around it now in full Summer foliage, and when the breeze comes from the river and is gathered among .the trees it is wafted across around the HERALD Butlding with reireshing force, ene weary pedestrians with a most delicious breath. Yesterday was as hot a daz as the best endowed salamander could desire. In the forenoon every- body began to grow gradually into the liquid con- dition; at noon the poor body was in a toll and ‘was ready to dissolve with but little more of the fire; in the afternoon, up to three o'clock, the solar rays poured right and left upon tne melting flesh 01 masculines and feminines toiling along the burning sidewalks, and the rest of the day was de- voted to futile erforts, on ‘the part of poor, sickened bipeds, in getting their mortality into something like ret table self-consciousness and an exist- ence tolerant of any degree of perpetuity. Every hot day has its funny aspects in a city like this, but not to mortal heart or mind ts it given to be so cruel or so malicious as to delve into the men- | tal recess for words to color the tribulations of brothers and sisters dissolving by slow degrees and by painful and torturous process into a fleshy kind of gruel, hot as a clam bake and with human bones in the mélange. It would be sorrowfully inhuman to laugh at poor, expiring rationality in this sort of manner, or to write funny sentences on the subject of a great number of people making the journey of life in such a way, with a perma- nent absence from the face of the carth immi- nently crawling all over tnem, their minds, as a bunch of mosquitoes might over their sweltering bodies, Acceptance of the situation ia therefore most to recommended. The shady side of the street, alas! belongs to another season but for What good is in it treasure it and as much as possible eke out existence thereon. Stimulants are vad, very bad; dairies are to be espoused with persistent atten- tion when the failing corporeal construction is yielding to aintness from the solar stings. As the darkness of the Summer enveloped the city a breeze came with trentbling movement, as if it was afraid. But it did not cool the weary exiles to early graves, who had been in the streets all day and who were now fice con on door steps, the mapvy thousands whose bones were achiug from the searching rays.of the June sun. It was a gentle breeze, unfortunately too gentle to meet the emergency, 80 the heavy, dull dying from the weather went on all night. The roUowing record will show the changes in the temperature for the past twenty-four hours tn com- parison with the corresponding day of last year, as indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut’s phar- macy, HERALD Buiiding :-— 1872, 1873. oe OL 72 BAM. 3:30 P. \° 3 6PM 80 9PM. 87 12'P.

An oMcial statement prepared to-day at tho Post OMice Department shows the number of post oMces in the United States on June 30, 1873, to be 33,244, an increase during the year of 1,351. The number of miles of railroad service on the same date was 63,514, an increase during the year of 5,603 miles. The following is an oMctal statement of the condi- tion of the postal card contract to June 30:—Requi- sitions on the contractor to date, trom 1,686 offices, 33,645,000 cards; orders suspended at the Vepart- ment, from 6,016 offices, 9,484,000 cards; total number ordered by 6,706 postmasters to date, 43,129,000; number issued to June 30, inclusive, 20,480,000; balance unfilled, 22,649,000 postai cards, The Postmaster General to-day issued an order authorizing the employment of thirty additional carriers by the Philadelphia Post OMice, at salarios of $800 per annum, commencing August1; also the employment of twelve wagons, with drivers, for the free delivery service, at a total additional expense net exceeding $15,000 per year, commenc- ing October 1. ‘Third Assistant Postmaster General Barber re- turned to Washington to-day and resumed his duties, An extension of the postal service is ordered on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Rail- road, between Centre Point and Independence, Iowa, at $682 per annum. General Howard and the Freedman’s Bureau.

The moment there shall be an official charge, which he says is not likely to occur, he will demand a court martial as the most effectual means of clearing him of every vestige of unjust sus- picion, Pictures of the Secretaries of War.| The Secretary of War, in his intention of secur- ing for the Department pictures of previous Secre- taries of War, has already caused to be placed conspicuously in the Secretary's oMce and ante- room portraits of ex-Secretaries Knox, Dexter, Dearborn, Eustace, Pickering, Scott, Calhoun, Potnsett, Holt, Cameron, Stanton and Rawlins. Others are now being painted for the Department. The Secretary is desirous to procure original por- traits, if possible, from which copies will be made, of ex-Secretary McHenry, of Washington's Ad- ministration; Griswold, of Adams’; W. H. Craw- ford, of Madison’s; George Graham, of Monroe's; John Bell, of Harrison's, and George W. Crawford, of Taylor's, Fixing Salaries. Supervisor Hawley, of New York, has been here to-day in consultation with Commissioner Doug- lass, adjusting the salaries of deputy collectors, clerks and other internal revenue officers in New York. Salaries were fixed in the various districts according to the amount of business done therein. Claims of Civil Employes. About one hundred and twenty thousand dollars will be required to pay the claims for the additional twenty per cent compensation allowed to certain civil employés of the government in the city of Washington, By a recent decision of the Court of Claims under act of 1867, which decision was af- firmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, upon one class of these claims only was the appeal taken from the first decision of the Court of Claims, and those were of laborers employed in public grounds, guards at the jail and workmen upon the Capitol extension. Upon the Supreme Court aMrming the decision of the Court below, and ordering that these persons be paid twenty per cent, it was understood that the workmen in the Navy Yard and Government Printing OfMice who had been before the Court of Claims would also be allowed additional compensation, and the Court of Claims so ruled, directing that judgment be entered in favor of all of them, numbering about one thousand one hundred. The ninety days al- lowed by law for the government to appeal to the Supreme Court on the latter cases will expire on the 14th inst., and unless an appeal be taken by that time, the claims will be paid. The impression is, however, that no appeal will be taken, although some of the accounting oficers of the Treasury are of the opinion that judgments must be paid out of the appropriation made by Congress to pay awards of the Court of Claims for the fiscal year. Others hold that the ninety days allowed the government for appeal preclude the payment of claims until the present fiscal year expires, and, therefore, the money must be paid out of this year’s appropriation. A Change in the California Postal Service. The Postmaster General to-day issued orders, to take effect on the 10th inst., discontinuing the steamship mail service between San Francisco and San Diego, Cal., which is now performed by the Northern Pacific Transportation Company five times per month, the establishment of a daily mail service by railroad and stage between San Fran- cisco and Los Angelos, having, in the judgment of the Department, rendered the sea service un- necessary. ‘The Increased Pay of Officers. ‘The new law, passed at last session of Congress, increasing the pay of certain heads of bureaus went into effect yesterday.

Upon a question referred to him by the Secretary of War, the Attorney General decides that tne lim- itation of two years prescribed by the eighty-eighth articie of war runs in favor of an offender su'ject to trial by court martial if he is within reach or subject to the control of the military authorities, notwithstanding he may conceal his offence; and that the manifest impediment to prosecution re- fered to in said article means not a mere want of evidence, but a want of power or jurisdiction in the military authorities to make the offender an- swerable to justice, Timely Precautions Against Boiler Ex- plosions.

A telegram to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs from the special Indian Commissioners at Fort Duncan, Texas, dated June 28, says:—“We returned here last night and have re- ceived information that Lipans and Mescalaras, numbering about two thousand souls, are at Saragosa desiring to meet us, and we under- stand there ts a probability of their going with us onareservation.

The organization known as the Patrons of Husbandry, originated in Washington in 1867, and the National Grange was organized in December of that year in this city. The objects of the order, as announced in the second circular, were to advance education, to elevate and dignify the occupation of the farmer, and to protect its members against the numerous combinations by which their inter- ests are injuriously affected, and for protecting, by all available means, the farming interests from fraud and deception of every kind. ‘The social feature is to make country homes and country society attractive, refined and enjoyable, and to balance exhaustive labors by instructive amusements and accom- plishments. This order proposes to abolish the commissions of the middle men and to deal di- rectly with the manufacturers and consumers, and where it may be deemed necessary to reduce the fares and freights on railroads by a system of co- operation, No political or religious discussions are permitted, and, like most secret orders, this one has a charitable feature. Women are ad- mitted as members. The headquarters are in Georgetown, D. C., where all the business of the National Grange is transacted, Over five hundred thousand tracts or pamphlets were sent out last year, There is a total of 4,355 subordinate granges in the United States and eight in Canada, comprising probably three hundred and twenty- five thousand members, A New Issue of National Currency.
