The day waa very beautiful, and the exercises took place in the open air, on the College Campus. The Cadet 'band of Cnlnmh., lurnisned the music and did it well. The inauguration of the new President Dr. Payne, was the leading feature, and began with an address by Prof. McCabe, the Acting President, introducing his successor, xnie address was very beautiful id elegant. It was followed by an acM in behalf of the Alumni, by Rev. J. VV. Stanley: onein behalf of the under graduates, Dy Henry Whitworth, and one in uenan or tne Hoard ot Trustees by Rev. Dr. Trimble, of Columbia. The topic of President Payne's address was tne ".educational Demand, nf t o Time," and especially the necessity for liberal and Christian education. The aciaress was well received, and has favorably introduced the new President. In t he course of his remarks he said it was a hopeful sign that one of the irraat uuiitirai garuei, aau cnosen us leader because of his Bootless character and great personal integrity, and added that this community was1 justly proud of the .. .l:. i it i i . . mui mnt Luio icuuer naa Deen one ot its onepringa.

From the report of last night it seems hardly probable he will be able to take part in the coming campaign. Tbb New York Tribune of yesterday says the St. Louis Convention nominated an admirable candidate on a bad plat form, and concludes a review of the situ ation as follows : Under such circumstances it seems un- . likely that Governor Tilden will be elect' ed unless Governor Hayes throws the battle away. If the Republican nomi nee, by his letter of acceptance or in any other manner, should lead the people to believe that hie election would be the continuation of Orantism or of the rule of the Senatorial Ring, if he should falter in his position the currency question, if he should show a leaning toward the corrupt and disgraced elements of the Republican party which tne people have so strenuously repudiated, a candidate like Mr. Tilden might easily beat him. But we have no anticipation of such a misfortune. ' Under the leadership of the honest, straightforward, popular, and accom plished Ohio Governor we look for a signal triumph of that party which, in spite of all its errors, is still the safest to be trusted with the honor and material wel fare of the United States. Tan New York Times says the Demo. crats have deliberately selected New York as the battle field of the campaign, not. withstanding the two successive defeatB of New York candidates for the Presi- . dency, and that They place their sole reliance on the ., chance of a solid southern vote South .Carolina excepted with the addition of the the Pacific States, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York.

The World predicts a united Democratic support of Tilden, and says the platform "means a peaceful revolution in the whole spirit and conduct of the Gov-rnmenUf this country." The New York Herald predicts " one of the most interesting, vigorously coo-tested and doubtful Presidential contests that have ever taken place since the organization of the Government," and says : "We shall have an honest President, a aafe administration and a steady progress toward specie payments and business prosperity, whether Governor Hayes or ' Governor Tilden carries off the honors of the canvass."

He said the honor of the nomination belonged not to him, urn to iue people or maione. unosen to the office of Town Clerk by them while yet in his minority, and when the emoluments of the place were thirty dollars a year, ot more value to him than thousands he has possessed, he had retained the confidence of the people steadily since. He had been the recipient of repeated honors from them. He owed to their steadfast adherence, their warm support, and their efiort, whatever of success he had achieved. Personally he would have preferred to remain where he is, for what was the honor to him, standing in the shadow of his desolate home. To the young men, so many of whom were present before him, he had the right to speak. He knew every phase of the struggle of a young man seeking: to make his way and to make his mark in life, for years ago ue irainpea tnrough the snows and Btormsof winter to his first district school in an adjoining town. In the log nouses oi me neigiioorhooil, through me sururiKen roots ol humble far mere' houses, he had at nieht been literally a star-gazer, but his wildest dreams and higheHt buildings of castles in the air, so complete success in life, so great advancement, had never occurred to him. The result showed that in thia beautiful country every man of character is the equal of every other man. He should make no political speech this morning. 1 he address was but a family talk. Whatever should be the result in November, we Bhould accept it as good aud loyal citizens. Political feeling would run high during the campaign, hut he hoped personal relations would remain unchanged. His greatest uesire was to retain the esteem and respect of his immediate friends and neigh- oorB, Mr. Wheeler retired amid a hearty applause. He was deeply affected during the speech. As he referred to the desolation which had come upon his home, his lips quivered and tears cme to his eyes. He carried the whole audience with him, and as he concluded tears coursed down hundreds of faces, and in the sympathy shown might be read the esteem and love that every townsman bears our distinguished representative.

The Chair announced as the first hna. iness the nomination of Vice President. When Indiana was called for its nomina tion the State was greeted with much en. thusiasm. Indiana failing to Dresent a canaiaate, some one from his seat in Illi nois nominated Hendricks, when Mr, McDonald, of Indiana, rose and said the condidacy of Hendncka was ended ve. terday in favor of another nominee, but they bad authority from Hendricks to accept no nomination for him to the Vice I residency.

No Democrat in the land dare refuse the nominating of this Convention, and Hendricks willriot. He renewed the motion to suspend ie rules to nominate him by acclamation which was lost.

The Convention has lecided otherwise, and he bowed to the iecision, and none would work harder nan he for bis election. He expreaBed lis great admiration for Hendricks, and (Onfidence in his pure character. He counselled the burial of all personal dif- srences, and asaeu lor a ooncen-rated effort for common victory, le proceeded with some comments upon he necessity of a change in the National administration, through Democratic pro- iesses, and was frequently greeted with ipplause.

THE TWOTHIBDS QITLE. Mr. Weber, of Michigan, offered a resolution recommending to future Democratic National Conventions that they abolish the twothirds rule as unwise, unnecessary, and that the States be requested to instruct their future delegates on the question, and that attention be called to this suggestion in the call for the next Convention. Mr. Taylor, of Kansas, briefly opposed the motion, apd a delegate from Tennessee moved to lay it on the table. The vote was taken by States, and resulted yeas 369, nay b 379: so the motion was not tabled. Mr. Wallace asked a division of the question, omitting on the first vote the latter half, requesting States to instruct their delegates on the subject, He was Koliietant Support !y tbe New York .xpreHS. To the Associaled Pred.J New York, June 29. The Express (Democratic), speaking of the nomination of Tilden, Bays : In this State, w here ne could neip it, tie allowed noanti-Til-den man to go to the State Convention, or to the National Convention, and therefore his followers at St. Louis did not, in our judgment, fairly represent the Democratic sentiment of the Empire State. We have given the freest possible expression, and have nothing to take back aB to the policy of this nomination, We shall fullow the Democratic flag, with the Democratic platform and Democratic nominations. Others may follow the man, the organization and the machine. It is not a good sign in our eyes wiien Republicans rejoice over or contribute to make a Democratic nomination. We shall hope for the beat and work for tbe best, not permitting disappointment to move us one hair's breath in our great public duty. If the Democratic party winB, it must win upon its platform of principles, and the pledge which its candidate has already made that he is singled out less for himself than the good fortune which has made him the personib'cation of reform. Opinions of I.iini.vllle Newspapers s" Hendricks, Louisville, June 29. Alluding to the St. Louis nomination the Courier- Journal says: The nomination of Gov ernor Tilden markB a new era in American politics. The issue presented to the country, and on which the campaign will be conducted, is the sharply defined issue of administrative reform, the importance of which is conceded even by those who secretly oppose it, and the urgency of which no man can deny without doing violence to his conacience. The Commercial (Republican) says his nomination means simply that the mem- oers oi tne convention Had impressed on them tbe idea that their party had a better chance for success by taking up the cry ot reiorm man in any other way. The Ledger-Democrat says: "We are proud of our candidate. He is everv inch a man, and every inch a statesman, and every man in the country whose cry lor reiorm is not a nonow snam should rally to his support." The news of the nomination of Hendricks has produced great enthusiasm, and coupled with that felt for Tilden in Kentucky is like the feeling manifested by Kentuckians in ante-bellum days. Chicago Telea-rnpb Falls Into I.ne. Chicago, June 29. The Chicago Evening Telegraph says : "The Convention at St. Louis might have done better, and worse. As it is, it has done well. Its nominee is tho embodiment of practical reform, and without such a candidate reform planks are so many broken timbers. He is a man of proved administrative ability, of great intellectual force, and of excellent surroundings. If called to the administration of the Government, he would be in the Executive ohair of the United States the same cool, tireless, disinterested officer, the same earnest and aggressive force.that he is in the chief majiatracy of the fore-moat of the States." It accepts Mr. Tilden, irrespective of the agency which presented his name, ant) will give him its earnest support as in every way the better of the two candidates from which the choice of a Preeidept for the next four years must be made. Tb Feeling- at Memphis. Memphis, June 29. As few expected a ballot would be reached at St. Louis last evei.lug, the news of Tilden'a nomination was not generally known till this morning, and was received with intense enthusiasm by his friends, while the friends of other candida'es generally accept the situation, and will support him. It la conceded that he will poll the party strength. The Appeal, which has supported him throughout, is jubilant. The Avalanche, Independent and anti-Tilden, regards hie nomination as a triumph of tbe money power of the East over the West and South. for the present ia the financial plank, and in the Democratic platform it is a poor stick. Indeed we have directed attention to tne Republican weakness in this respect. But if the Cincinnati Convention did not take a determined atep in advance, at leant it did not take a step backward. ' This the St. Louis Convention has done. Such a hard money man ae Tilden most rather feel mortified that he is compelled to stand pon such a soft piece of timber. t In giving the candidate to the East, and in not aivins the Wbbi th. platform, without qualification, it looks very much as if Ohio and Indian. irretrievably lost id October.

The Kansas City Journal of Commerce givea this encouraging outlook for the wneai crop: ine harvest in Southern Kansas is well advanced, and the wheat may be said to be safe in all respects.

In the Walnut, the Verdigris, the Neosho, Cottonwood, Arkansas, and other valleys, the yield iB simply enormous. The Arkan. sas valley alone will have five million bushels for export. Taking this as a basis of calculation, we would place the crop of surplus wheat in Kansas this year at from fifteen to eighteen millions of ouaneie.
