Pope Bar tow in reply to one from Rev. Dr. Sylvamu Lendrum. Mr. Barrow de fends the aetidn of the legislature in making tuition free at the University by appropriating 02,000 per annum to that hwtitRiion, and bis defense sutable and interesting one. It will be read with interest by every friend 'of th# University,and not less by those who do hot agree with him in the ar gument. The continued agitation of this nut ter reminds us of-the story of a dar key who went forth one night to rob a hen roost. The sky was overcast with clouds, and.the muttering than der betokened * coming storm. As the predaceous darkey gathered in >" ’the first ben, there was a blinding flash of lightning, followed by a ter rific peal of thander “Humph!’ said the astounded thief, as he iw» gamed bib* composure; “seems to me you are taskin' a heap o’ fuss.over job one little .pulleL’’ i . SHOOTLVG A TRAHP. •ton,. LAW, ATHENS, Go. For convenience, lei us examini briefly there three t-easona-in the bi- verse order ot their statement. Perhaps the Constitution itself the highest and best evidence of what it* provisions are upon the subject, aa welt as all' others. If Dr. Landrum will take the trouble to turu to Arti cle 8, Section 6, Paragraph 1, of the present Constitution, be will find the following words: *lu addition to the payment of the annual interest on the debt due by the state to the Univer ity, the General Assembly may— from time to time—make such dona tions thereto as the condition of the Treasury will authorize.’ How could those‘legal gentlemen, who were members of the last Con stitutional Convention,’ have forgot ten the above provision when they expressed such an opinion as he has ascribed to them ? Surely the Doc tor must be mistaken; he Vnnst hare been dreaming. Could any lawyer who was a member of that body be ignorant ot so important a feature ? It would be difficult to find a lawyer in Georgiy whether he waa iq> the Con vention or not, who did not know batter- whose pleasure it baa been to listen to into operation.

If the doctrine contained - in this somewba; loose aud general remark, that free tuition is ‘wrong in principle aud damaging in practice,’ is a correct one, tbe civilized world ia certainly going backward, if that declaration had been made by a Spanish or Italian raenkof the sixteenth oentury, 1t would have been in keeping with him, biB surroundings, and bis purposes; but, cdmitig from a Baptist minister of low nineteenth century—and an educated man at that—it is astonish ing I For one, I would .not have be lieved that the gentleman whose name ia signed to that dbromunioatiou had ever written such a statement, but (or Hbe sensible and true avouch of my own eyes.’ When we stop a moment and think *how much talent, how much money how- much zeal, how much time and eloquence and labor ate O0W MnevW<tifed among all civilized people in devising ways aud means lor making education free; when we see Governments and indi vidual#, and municipalities, , each iu Its own sphere struggling to do this Very thing, and. esteeming it acrpwn- log triumph when they succeed, such an utterance aa this, of Dr. Landrum’s sounds like a protest against the civi lization of the age in which we live. It is a common occurrence for wealthy citizens ot benevolent impul ses to endow professorship# and ionud, scholarships in institutions ot learning so aa to make tuition free. Whenever they do, their asms# are heralded as beuefactore of their rare, and ao they are. More than that, among thought ful people it is beginning to be looked upon as the test arid measure of the intelligence and enlightenment ofa na tion When it* Govermnftit makes pro vision For the free eduemtjou of the people. Whenever a city establishes •system of free schools,tor a stats or a county, it is conridered a step for ward, and there ia no fact in its his tory to which it points with more genuine pride, and nothing which torus snch an abundant' harvest ol good results. In the town ot Lexington, in the county of- Oglethorpe, is Meson Academy. Its founder, a Mr. Meson, many yeais ago bequeathed to Trus tees, in his will, a considerable amount of property for the purpose of found ing this school and aiding, to that ex tent, the cause ot free education. He lies buried io the school yard, and slab of marble commemorates his vir tues in an epitaph, arid chief among them all stands credited to him ' the endowment ot the Academy. No man can tel! the amount of good this school has done. It is true he did not give enough to make tuition entirely free, bnt it was a long step in ■ that direc tion. Hundreds of youth have been educated there. Some of the first men of Georgia, and some ol the other states, were partly educated there. It is still in operation, doing its benefi cent work. It the long roll ol tbe yonik who have drunk at this ancient and venerable fountain of learning were called,among other names would be found that of Sylvauus Landrum. Did he find it‘damaging iu practice’ then? I am aware that tuition was not entirely free at Meson Academy, but education was cheapened there by the endowment and the difference is ih degree, aDd notin kind. It will be Yerjr Fertile Soil.
