At the meeting ot the Board of Trustees a resolution was passed that four chairs on the board should be filled from the Alumni of ibe University. Prof. R. R. Wright of Augusta .vas elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Morgan of Atlanta, who had been an efficient member ot the Board tor many years. Prof Wright’s chief competitor for this honorable place was our worthy fellow-citizen Prof. S. B. Morse, who got left on a vote of twenty two. At the meeting of tho Board on May 25, Rev. Erastus B’aksly of New Haven Conn., was elected president of the University, -and Prof. Bumsted, D. D., was elected to fill the chair until the newly vl< cted president qualifies. The n ost important part of the exercises was the examination of the students in practical mechanism and it Was wonderful to see with what ease and rapidity the most difficult diagram was executed, transforming the roughest of wood into the most delicate and useful articles. Proceedings of Conference. THE THOMASVILLE DISTRICT CONFER- ENCE BY E. E. LAWRENCE M ART IN. .Vr. Editor-. Thursday’ May 12, we boarded theShoo-ily train at Bost m lor Cairo Georgia, to attend the Sev enth Session of the Thomasville District C inference A. M. E. L diurch. We-toped over in Th nn .s* ville waiting for the fast mail which by the way does not recognize Boston enough to stop. We met good many friends and before we could get through speaking to them our time was up. The conductor cried all-aboard,and the iron horse pulled us gently over a country thin ly settled, but with many swamps, and creeks, we did not have time to chat, very long, before wc heard Cairo, the place of our destination At the depot we found Rev. 11, Strickland, and a goodly number of friends awaiting our arrival. Cairo is a pleasant looking little town, on the S. F. <fc W. R. R , about 14 miles from Thomasville, the people both white, and colored, seem kind and agreeable. We were told that lands in and around Cairo are cheap. It is a wonder to me why don’t our col ored people who are crowded in large cities buy for themselves homes in the country. lam sure with the same amount of skill and industry they use in keeping them selves above want in cities would make them independent in country places. The District Conference, was opened by Rev. R. W. Fickland ol Boston with timely remarks. Revs M. J. Ingraham and J. R. Bennett were chosen secretarys. Rev. R. W. Fickland were chosen reporter to the Southern Recorder, Rev. F. S. Ward to the Christian Recorder, and your scribe to the Savannah Tribune. The bounds of the Con ference were fixed Committees an nounced and the Con f e re nee adjourned. Rev. J. IL Adams, was appointed to preach at night. All preachers, and delegates were amply provided for by the good people of Cairo. Thursday night at7:3o o’clock Rev J: H. Adams preached to the large audience a soul reviving sermon. Friday May 13, Conference con vened at 9:30 o’clock, the P. E. made some remarks relating to the duties of the Conference. The min isters read their reports. The churches are getting on nicely. Rev. M. J, Ingraham, preached at 11 o’clock an interesting sermon, He brought tears from our eyes. The report on the requirements of public schools was received with acclamation speeches, were made by Revs. Tuckey, Stubbs, and Arnold, (white,) also by Revs, Adams and Fickland. The com mittee on I’. E. assessment assessed the District SB7O. The 1). C. high school was brought up and received slight attention, but finally giVvii the “go by.” Rev. R. W. Fickland preached on Friday night. Owing to the in clemency of the weather, we did not go out but, from what we heard he did justice to the occasion the next ses.-ion of the District Confer cnee will I e held at. Camilla, Ga- Boston Georgia. OGEECHEE F. O. GEORGIA. May 23, 1887. Dear Editor, Saiannah Tribune : Th® colored people of Seri ven County nre having ju t ce exercised in their favor before the court in this county’ by the young judge that was newly appointed by the Georgia Legislature last year—who succeeded old Judge Carswell the man that ii a Negro went befoie him, if he missed the chain-gang he would be as fortunate as Grover Cleveland was in 1884—our young judge is H. R. Hines, who was soli citor for ex-Judge Johnson years ago—Judge Hines gave one of the most impartial chargee to the Grand Jury last week that ever nas been given to a grand jury in Seriven County for years —.*Ome say tiiere never was a charge given in the same manner following the law in letter and spirit—justice can be hcaid all along the line for the poor colored man and poor whit, man who has lean opportunity be fore the courts in this county: When you bring any matter of law j before Judge Hines for execution I bring it right or it will go over- I boaid, white or colored no excep- I tions. lie let go three colored men t.iey had in Sciiyeu County jail, accused lor breaking open the ware house at 5] on the C. R, R , the 'first of the Spring, also he let go | another one who was accused cf braking the ware house at 5 C. R. R., some tew weeks ago and put him in jail but he was loosed—they made the man drunk and ill treated Irin and their own acti went against them and let the man go— also he wasnt guilty. Other very important actions occurred which is highly commendable by the good citizens of Scriveu County white and colored. Certainly if any one is found guilty he will sutler the penalty of the law, he exhorted the Grand Jurors to how they can put an end to this so-called lynch law, which is a gross violation to the laws of Georgia. Cuyler Scott was sent to the chain-gang for two years last fall court for burglary and he was brought back to this Spring court to stand another trial which he was chaged for burning Wm. Bletcher’s store (here) in Scriven County two or tbre years ago, they worked up some sort of evidence and the Judge passed a sentence on him for seven years— so Cuyler Scott asked the Judge to let him make a speech and alter he spoke the Judge said I will takeoff three years from your imprisonment and I don’t believe that the Judge thinks be guilty as evidence stated S.
