Tuesday, August 5, 1879.
The Educational Committees of the
Senate and House of Representatives
are visitors to tho commencement ex
ercises ot the State University, ‘ in
their official capacities. *
It is now confidently expected that
the enemies of Governor Colquitt will
endeavor to make him responsible for
the Defoor murder. •'• r - \ *
Waterman of the LaGrenge -Rrs
porter, intimates that it would now be
io order to investigate “the motive
and conduct” of Governor Colquitt
in bringing about the yellow fever in
Memphis.
It is currently reported in and
about the Capital, that the present
Legislature is now preparing to in
vestigate the Chaplains who do the
praying for that honorable body .
The yellow fever continues to
spread in Memphis, notwithstanding
a large proportion of the citizens have
fled the city. The negroes from the
surrounding country have flocked into
Memphis, with the hope and expects
tion of drawing government ratios as
they did during tho last epidem-
wisdom aiul patriotism of our grand . obligations which be must naturally
old commonwealth vindicated and ! feel, that he owes to the State Univer
preserved. . . ?v -
We cannot he accused of here tnak-,
ing an appeal for Athens. For we
were opposed originally to giving
this Fund over to the University at
Athens, and to now speak candidly,
honestly and truthfully, we believe
From the many unfavorable critis
cisins which may now be. beard
around the Legislature, in regard to
our New Constitution;, from the dffi-
culty the Legislature is experiencing
in adapting the statute ry to the re
quirements of the organic law; and from
the great diflerence of opinion exists
ing relative to the true meaning and
intent of this most ambigious instru
ment, it may be safely asserted that
Georgia’s greatest need a* this time
i; a Constitutional Convention.
Asa Morgan, colored, ouc of the
Defoor murderers has, through the
great skill and vigilance of the Atlan
ta police, been captured, aud is now
lodged in the Fulton county jail.
These same detectives are on hot
trail of Morgan’s accomplices in this
m >st foul and atrocious murder, and it
is thought with great probability of
their speedy capture. This is a mur-
d -r, the foulness and hoinousnes3 of
which, demands that every conununi-
ty within the probable path of* these
escaping fiend’s should exerciso all
possible vigilance until they are caught
and safely lodged in jail.
Final Solution of tho Land
Hoi lp Fuud Problem,
Let the Trustees of the State Uni
vereity remove the war from upon this
Fund and the University, by making
back to the Legislature or the State a
full aud complete tender of the whole
Land Scrip Fund, upon oondition
that the Legislature establishes the
Lucy Cobb Institute, as the Female
Department, of the State Uuiversity,
with an annual appropriation of eight
thousand dollars.
Further Division of The Land
Scrip Fund
Weleam that the Trustees of the Uni
versity at their present annual meet*
ing, are contemplating, if they have
not already decided to further divide
the, Land Scrip Fund, by giving por
tions thereof toThomasville, Cuthbert,
and perhaps other points.
For the Trustees, of what might be 'at
great institution, to even oomtemplate
such a disposition oi this Fund is'as
unwise, as the further division there
of will certainly prove ruinotis to the
Agricultural College and highly dams
aging to the State University.
We have up to this time refrained
f.'om discussing the questions arising
in regard to the Land Scrip Fond,
embracing the present disposition
thereof, and the proposed further di<
vision of the same. But from the res
cent or proposed action on the part of
the University Trustees, we consider
that the time-has arrived when we
should speak out, plainly,'frankly, and
in full accordance with what wo be
lieve to bo our journalistic duty
In the first place, we shall lay down
as a sound and unquestioned premise,
thatjthe act of the General Govern 1
ment under {which {the Land Scrip
was granted to Georgia, as well as to
the other States of the United States,
' distinctly-, says “that the proceeds
thereof shall bo used exclusively for
the establishment of schools and col
leges for teaching AqricuUwre, and
the JUechunic Arte, and furthermore
that when and where, not so appro
priated the same shall revert back to
the General Government.” Now let
ns inquire, has the spirit and plain pro
visions of this Act of Congress been
complied with in Georgia ? We an
swer, most emphatically, no. This
Fund which was about to lapse from a
failn -e on the part ot the Legislature
to give proper direction thereto, .was
by Governor Jas. M. Smith, given
over in trust to tho Trustees of the
r’State University. Governor Smith
recognizing the importance of a tnoi-t
striot compliance, pp the part of the
University with the provisions of the
Act of Congress making the Land
•Scrip grant, did in the contract en
tered into wit£ the Trustees, make
4M requirement aa to’establishing
Schools and Colleges exclusively for
teaching Agriculture and the Me-
chanic Arts, still more binding. Hare
the Trustees acted in good faith, and
in compliance wilhall of thia and these?
Well let n«, look somewhat into the
matter, that the public may be ena
bled to answer for themselves.
The so-called Agricultural College
at Athens,'i8 the only recipient of any
portion of this fund that makes the
least’approximation loan institution
for the teaching of Agriculture and
-the .Mechanic Arts. Now let us
plainly aslc, and as frankly answer, is
this College really and truly an institu.
tion for instructing pupils in AgricuV
ture and the Mechanic Arts? If
there has ever been as many as a dor
en students who have received grad-
unting degrees in Agriculture or the
Mechanic Arts, in this College, since
its establishment, we most plead lan
ignorance of the fact. This Com
mencement, we believe one young man
graduates with the degree of Bachelor
of Agriculture. Aside from the pro
posed course of lectures in this Cols
lege, on Agriculture and the Scien
tific arts, there is attached a so-called
Model Farm, a part and parcel of
the College. This Farm is about two
miles distant from the College, is pre
sided over by the Professor of Agris
culture, aud worked by sorno two or
three negro laborers
If any of the students of the Col
lege have or ever visit'this Farm, save,
perhaps on an occasional excursion by
way of gratifying their pleasure or
idle curiosity, we must admit that we
have been mistaken or misled in our
observations. We doubt whether
many, of them even know the loca
tion ot, or the way to this Model Farm.
To sum up, as to this so-called Agri
cultural College and Model Farm, so
far ns pertains to instructing young
men in Agricultural and Mechanical
sciences, we; are constrained to pro
nounce the whole, one of the most
sublime farces, that was ever before
attempted upon so grand a scale, and
with such complete failure.
Now let us, look a little to the
School at Dahlonega. This is styled
the North-Georgia Agricultural Col 1
lege, and under this name receives
annually 83500,00 of this Land Scrip
Fund. Well if you were to ask a Stu
dent of this .institution, if he wa 8
taught anything about Agricultural,
or Mechanical science, while in at
tendance upon the School, he would
hardly know what you were talking
about, and we can hardly believe that
any one of the Faculty or Local Board
of Trustees would have the boldness
or hardihood to claim any such feat 1
ure for the so-called North Georgia
Agricultural {College. Is {not this
annual appropriation of $3500,00 to
the Dahlonega College a direct and
open violation of the Act of Congress
making tho.Lnnd Scrip grant ?
Again, the colored University at At?
lanta, gets annually $8000,00, as its
pro-ratashare of the Land Scrip Fund.
What amount of |Agricnlture or Me
chanic Arts are taught in that institu 1
tion ? and where is its Model Farm ?
And now the Trustees are thinking
of further dividiug the Fund with
Thomasville, Cuthbert, and other
points, for the establishment of more
of these so-called Agricultural Col
leges. It would be well to inquire,
are they to he strictly and exclusively
institutions for instruction in Agri
culture and the other Scientific Arts
And right hero we would ask, if it
would not be well for the Legislature,
which is now in session, to inquire into
this matter, indeed is it not plainly its
duty so to do?
Let the honorable Board of Trus
tees of the State University, pause and
ask themselves these important
questions, before they proceed to fur
ther mutiUte this Fond or apply any
portion thereof to purposes other
than those contemplated and required
under the Act of tlie General Govern
ment. And then, if determined, de
spite the Act of Congress, to mutilate
or misapply this Fund, or even let
remain at Athens in so misapplied or
neglected a condition as to utterly
and completely defeat the purposesi
for which it was donated by Congress
why then we say, in justice and in re
lief to Georgia, in justice to the Gener
al Government and the greot cause
education in other and more appreci
alive sections of the country, by
means let the Land Scrip Fund go
back from whence it came
Now we would beg to say to the
honorable Board of Trustees of
State University, that what we have
here said has been prompted by no
spirit of jealousy, captiousness, or un
just criticism, but that we have plain
ly and simply given you the fefits,
they stand out to the people of Geor
gia, wlio feel an interest in the sys
tem of education proposed to be es
tablished upon the Land Scrip Fund
and who have taken the trouble to ex-,
amine into the matter. And, having
so done, now let us implore you in be
half of the great 8(ate of Georgia,
behalf of the great cause of scientific
education, in behalf of justice, in be
half of the farmers of our State, and
lastly in justice and compliance with
the spirit, intent and plain provisions
of the Act of Congress making this
magnificent grant to our State, to
neglect, misappropriate
sity, which has honored him in like
manner. We arc at a loss to cou-
ceive how the honorable gentlemen
who occupy the positions refered to,
can reconcile it to themselves thus to
neutralize their usefulness, aJ friends
of the great cause of education, and
that it would be far better to make consent to become in these high, re-
this Fund a unit at either Dahlonega,
Milledgeville, Cuthbert, Thomasville,
ot some other point in Georgia, let-
'tingsthe State University stand .alone
upon its merits as a classic and litera
ry institution.
Since writing the above we have
learned that the Board of Trustees
have been so unwise, as to further di-i
vide this Fund with Thomasville,
Cuthbert aud Milledgeville Well, if
this is to be the disposition of the
Land Scrip Fund, and no other
sponsible, and honorable positions
mere figure-heads.
Nofthat we would wound the feels
iogrfpf any one, or imjttstly complain
of what we regard as an evil in. the
governmental " organisation of the
State University, but sojely in thq in
terest of fair and' impartial dealing,
and-as an'acfc of simple justice to both
the Slate University and the other
Colleges concerned, we would most
respectfully suggest that such Trus-
tees, as may, by their double Trustee-
i8lrip.be called upon,“to serve two

as a unit at some point, that the true spective institutions as well, the jus-
election, dependent in no small degree
upon that pairty being able to reta'n
control of the ballot boxes. Then if
such bo true, would not a more cor
rect aud truer analysis of the great
question growing out of the Presidents
conduct, and which is now the before
the American people, be. whether with
free ballot, we shall maintain our
free, republican institutions, or yield
iug to military and partisan usurpa
tions, permit the next Preeid^mial
election to prove but another gfraqt;
stride towards centralizing our gov 1
eminent ?
purposes-of the grant may be carried
out, then -let the people of Athqns at
once assemble in public meeting, that
they may devise some means by which
to defend and protect this Fund—’ike-
wtse their rights. Athens subscribed
$25000.00 in bonds to build the Ag
ricultural College here,-with the under
standing that the Fund had been given
to the Uuiversity in perpetuity,,
Now,, that tho Board of Trustees
have violated' this contract or under
standing, the people of our . city
should at once look to' their rights in
tins matter. We -are not .sufficiently
femilliar.with the law, to say that we
con’d recover the College building by'
reason of this, violation, but We ’ are
satisfi ed that there is some mode by
which this wrong, this great injustice
both the State of Georgia aud the
city of Athens,*may be redressed.,
Citizens of Athens, we repeat it, you,
together with tho licsi interest of the
State, .have b- e*i greatly wronged
this matter, and, while we confi
dently believe that your patriotism
and devotion to the cause of educas
tion would lead you to give up the
whole Fund, that it might be kept as
a unit, the only way to make it avail
able of good, yet, as such seems not
likely to be the case, now is the time
for you to speak out, { proclaiming
yt ur rights in this matter, and so pro
claiming, date maintain them.

Mr. Stephens aud, the Pres
ent Political Issues.
Hon. A. H. Stephens, by invitation
of the General Assembly, addressed
iliat body on Monday the 28 nit, on
the political questions of tho day.
The speech of Mr. Stephens, was cer
tainly* a most mastorly effort; and was
received by the jarge^iaudieuce. which
assembled to hear, him, with muc|i
enthusiasm and applause. After giv-’
1ng the cause arid results of the extra
session of Congress, he lays down aa.
the main or leading Nue* now before
the people growing out of said extra
Session, (1); “The right aud power
of Congress to made appropriations
and to control or give direction to the
same,” which issue was made between
Congress' and the President by bis
vetoing the, judicial appropriation bill,
which so restricted tho appropriation
as not to allow one dollar to be ap
plied to deputy marshals to run elec
tions. (2). “The financial question,
embracing our system of taxa-
tion.” • •
‘No
Man Can Servo Two
Masters.”
The above is the utterauce of Him,;
who spake as never man spake, and
the truthfulness of which cannot be
doubted Its app'ication ho'ds good
not only as to the spiritual afikirs of
man, but equally pertains to the con
cerns of his material life. Then to
attempt a just, honest, and impartial
service to two directly antagonistic
or opposing interests, would simply
be {an attempt at controverting the
foregoing divine decree.
Now to suit the truism which
serves as the caption of this article,
to tho purpose we have in view, we
would respectfully inquire, how is if
possible for any man to make a just;
honest, and impartial Trustee of both
tlie State Uuiversity and Emory Colt
lege or any other two institutions ot
life character, but of opposing inter
ests ? This inquiry is made all the
more important at this time, since, we
find in a recent dumber ot tho. Wesr
leyan Christian Advocate, views en
tirely opposed to the true policy of
the State Uuiversity and the general
ly recognized policy (outside Iheadvo
cates of sectarian institutions) which
the State should exercise towards the
University.' If Rev. Doctor Ilaygood
the Editor ot the Wesleyan Advo
catetf and President Qf Emory College,
in his opposition to free tuition in the
State University, add in his position
as to “what the State says to 'and does
towards’ Church Colleges” is a fair
and correct exponent of the views
entertained by the Government of
Emory College, then we would like
Mr. Stephens, upon the great finan
cial -problem is certainly vary sound
and very correct, and we hazard noth
ing in saying that his views come
nearer meeting the financial neccssh.
ties of the country than those pre
sented by any other statesman or
political economist. In stating that
the want of equalization in our system
of taxation is the greatest source of
our taxr-burdous, he strikes the very
key note to all of our troubles in that
line, and bis remarks upoa that subject
are equally applicable to cur State
Governments as to tire General. Gov
ernment We have always nnuataios
ed that the only -sore meant of reduc
ing taxes in our own Stale' Govern
ment, would be to so equalize taxation
a/f to notice every species of wealth
and property in our midst accessible
to the tax-officers;' and that if this was
done, half if not less of our present
rate of taxes would bo .all sufficient for
the support of our government, leav<
ing besides an abundant surplus in
the treasury to meet all incidental or
contingent expenses. As to this, be
ing one of the great questions before
the people* Mr. Stephens is Unques
tionably Correct, and his argu
ments tliereupori so utterly unanswer
able^ as to make.,his position simply
invincible. iw -ub iqii-i -
In regard to the first gj-ea^question
or issue pnpsflutod by the distinguished-
statesman, ‘ -while we would hardly
Wto^pi&uidpitiotts as .‘ to disagree
with him altogether, Vet, ,we would
respectfully, submit,' has he not rather
given more of the argument in thia
case, than stated the real issue, in its
true aud last analysis? And fuilher
more in so presenting the question,
has be not dignified Mr. Hayes more
and given him, as tlie leader or expo
to ask him, as the fair and just mau j nent of the Republican party, cred
jeopardize this Fund, but rising above
all prejudices and mistaken policies,
and subordinating all smaller consuls
erations to tho great interest at stake,
give the Land Scrip Fund, as a unit
to some, purely, strictly and exclu
sively Agricultural and Mechanical
institution, some where in Georgia,
that the great cause of Agricultural
and Scientific education may be pro>
moled and advanced, and the honor,
that he is, what justice or fairness
can there possibly be to either the
State University or Emory College,
in having any one of the Trustees of
his College hold the position of Trus
tee in the Slate University ? We do
not desire to be personal in our re
marks upon this subject, and should
have refrained from so direct an allu
sion to Emory College aud its Trus
tees, had we not considered Dr. Ilay-
g tod’s seeming antagonism to the
true policy and true . interest of the
State University a justification for
ouc so doing. What we have here
said as to the double 1 Trusteeship in
the State University and F-uory Col
lege, is equally applicable to any ex
isting double Trusteeship between the
the University and any other College,
denominational or otherwise.
! i It most be admitted by all, that the
dalles and responsibilities devolving
open the Trustees of any educational
institution are of tlie very - highest,
and most important character. How
then can any Trustee reconcile it to
himself to havo these high duties qnd
grave responsibilities negatived by ai
doable Trusteeship and ho made a
mere figure-head in both institutions ?
If a Trustee occupying such a double
position, Should "feel moved to aa ad
vocacy and advancement ot the Slate
University, why, it would be nothing
but natural, that he should be ham
pered, by bis sectarian count* lions.
And again if he should' seek the nd-
vancemenl.’. of ..the denominajidiisl
institution, which has bonded him
with ,la r. Trusteeship, of course he
would be honestly restrained by tlie
it for more, honesty and sincerity of
purpose than he is entitled to?
Mr. Stephens is certainly and un
questionably correct, when he argues,
“that our grand system of Govern
ment, which is the wonder of the
world, has so-divided the executive,
the legislative, aud the judicial pow
ers, that while co-ordinate, yet they
are separate and distinct find each
supreme in its functions, and further
more, that by reason of sqch forma
tion in our government the President
has no moi*e right to claim that Con
gress shall apply mouey. to certain
purposes, than Congress has the right
tossy he shall not'veto a bill*” To
this and all of these we most fully
agree, but submit, that such a pre
sentation of the question would rather
tend to place Mr. Hayes in tlie atti
tude of simply disagreeing with Mr
Stephens and Cotigress, as to tho
distinct, independent, ami supreme
powers belonging to each department
of nongovernment From the course
pursued by Mr. Hayes-during the
extra session of Congress we appro
bend it would be a difficult task to
Induce tho publio mind 1 to believe
that his exercise of the' veto power
was based upon an honest diflerence
of opinion and an honest conviction of
right, or upon anything elre, save the
promptings of a strong partisan spir

As these small, men have
failed to find any torruption or wick
edness in the Governor, upon whioh to
base thdr warfare against hiito, we sup
pose now they will 1 demonstrate the
character of their warfare, and the
highest characteristics oftheir natures,
by attacking his moral and religious
character. Let all such, remember,that
in such efforts to gratify their person
al and political animosities, they not
only do gross injustice to a good, pure
and innocent man, but are doing
great damage to tbe fair fame ana
high character of Gqorgia. And
then let them further, remember,
that in such a wanton. Wicked, and
baseless warfare, they will at last find
that they will be the only ones to suf
fer.
