THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
V*'e aio satisfied that the Normal
School will not be moved to Georgia
at all. Dr. Sean who represents the
Normal School, makes such stipula
tions as will naturally prohibit the
Hoard apjiointed by the Legislature
from accepting the trust. In brief
he virtually stipulates that he must se
lect the location in Georgia, before he
will make known his determination
whether he intends to remove it from
Nashville or not. He further stipu
lates that it is vital to this question
that beiore he will say whether he will
remove it or not, that there must be
authoritative guarantees made to him
that there will he uo change made in
the Board of Instruction at Nashville
or in its mode of instruction or man
agement.
In other words the Trustees of the
University of Geurgia must agree as
a condition precedent to the removal
to G< orgia, that the whole manage
ment and control of the Normal School
in every respect most be left to the
present corps of Professors and the
Peahodv Trustees, with the under
standings and agreement that what'
ever they do will be approved.
The law says the State Board of
education “shall constitute the Board
of 1 rust cos ol the Slate Normal Col
lege. They shall he empowered to
prescribe the course of study to be
pursued in said college, to adopt rules
tor the conduct and government of
the instilu:ion, to elect a President
and the necessary Professors and
ti ael ers, to authorize the eonfering
otd. gr.es and to do such other acts
as are commonly done by similar
Boards. The acts authorized herein
t« he done by the said Board of Trns
lees, shall l»e subject to revision by
the Boar.] of Trustees of the Univer
sity ..I Georgia, and shall not he coa-
sid. red us of permanent force until
approved by that Board.”

“The Board of Trustees of the
Normal College, together with the
General Agent of the Trustees of the
P. al.ody fund, are hereby cm|>owered
to decide among these tenders as to
which shah be accepted, and this act

Trustees of the University. In mak

lenders, tegard shall be had to the
value of the property tendered, its
adaptability to the object contem

circumstance which would reuder the

UlCtiLTFRAL COLLEGE.
A few days since it was our pleas
ure to visit, in eompauy with Gen. J.
T. Henderson, State Commissioner of
Agriculture, the experimental farm
of the State College of Agriculture.
To say that we were pleased or even
delighted, docs not express the im
pression produced by our visit, nor
would it do full justice to this enter
prise and Gtneiai Win. U. Browne,
who is now managing it so success
fully. Then we must say that we
were surprised to find that this exper
imental farm had been worked up to
such a state of perfection, and that it
now bids fair to soon become one ot
the moat important and valuable in
stitutions connected with scientific
agriculture, and the means provided
for instruction and progress in this
important foundation science. That
such may be the sure and inevitable
practical results from this science de
partment, it only needs that the col
ANOTHER RULItOAU MOVEMENT. .
In another column will be fonnd
the proceedings of a railroad meeting
held at Franklin, N. C, on the 29th
ult. From this it will bo seen that
the Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line
Railroad is moving up tor the posses-
sion of Rabun Gap, the key to all
connections betwecu the West and
the country this side or South of the
Blue ridge via t' is route. The Air-
Liuc Railroad Company has pur-'
chased the road from Knoxville to
Marysville, which added to this last
movement, gives them, undoubtedly,
the control of all Western connections
via Rabuu Gap and Knoxville. This
places the Northeastern Railroad in
rather an embarrassing position to
say the least ot it, and leaves but oue
chance of protection to our road, and
that is its early and rapid extension
to its final terminus. The above are
facts which should he borne in mind
by the people of our section and
which should induce them to give all
lege authorities give to it that aid j and every aid, within their power, to
and fostering care which its present
promi-e so unquestionably merits.
General Browne is most earnestly
and industriously dovoted to this in
terest, and from the rapid, valuable
ami permanent improvements which
he has made, has not only proven the
advantage of his department in the
promotion aud general improvement , . . „ ,

therefore moved a reconsideration of
the vote adopting Saturday, July
24th.
The iiiotioii lo re 'onsider prevailed,
and Mr. Warren moved to insert
Wednesday the 21st ol July, in-tead
of the other date.
The motion was agreed to.
H. P. Bell favored the plan of sub

ple.

moved to lay the resolutions on the
table Oa the inolimi there Were 7
y. as and 7 nays, and the chairman
voted nay, thus defeating the motion
to lay on the table.
J. J. Jones sugge-ted that the ques
tion be left to the tir-t convention, aud
that there l.e do effort to settle il ill
primary meetings.
J. H. Warren said he did not think
the resolution practicable, and Imped
the question would be lufl as il uow is.
W. T. Trammed said the committee
was suggesting too many tliiugg.
Marshall Hatcher said the commit
tee was trying to do too much. He
said it was dangerou- to tamper too
much with the party.
Mr. Camp said this was the best
time to settle the question of two-
thirds or majority rule as the policy
of the party.
II. P. Bell said he regretted the
discussion on this resolution. The two-
thirds rule had caused much difficulty
in the democratic national conven
tions. It caused such troubles in St.
Louis in ’76 that the convention asked
that the party in the various states
should express its views on the ques
tion so as to govern the next national
democratic convention.
J M Pace thniioht it best to pre-
iacu the resolution with a statement
that the decision of the people on the
two-thirds rulo was to apply only to
the national convention and to the
nomination of presidential candidates.
The resolutions offered by Mr.

Thus it will be seen that the ac
ceptance of Dr Sears proposition
would he to violate nearly every pro-
vi-ion of the law and to bind our
elrra to do an il’egal act.
Whilst we desire very much to
have the school located in our State,
we cannot accept of a trust that re
quires us to violate the law and to
acknowledge and admit that the
Board ot education ol this State are
incompetent to decide nnder such a
plain law, where the school should be
located, and when located, arc not fit
and pro]«r persons to have the cm-
trol and management thereof— suh-
jeet to revision by the Board of Trus
tees of the University of Georgia.
o cannot consent to so stultify
ourselves as to say that the Governor,
the Slate School Commissioner, the
ComptrollersGencral, the Attorney-
General and the Secretary of the State
ol Georgia, and the Board of Trus
tees of the UDiversity of Georgia (now
a representative body of Georgia)
cannot he trusted to mnnngc a Nor

I-el the people of Georgia look not

Tho Washington correspondent to
thc Atlanta Coiwttiutiun has this to
say about our immediate representa
tive in Congress.
’■The Democrats of the Ninth Dis
trict who heljied to send Emory Speer
to Congress had better send somebody
to look after him, or he will vote the
Democratic |iarty out of power in the
house. He has voted in favor of the
Radical Washburn, and of allowing
him to keep Ins sent. Donaclly, the
contestant, makes a clear case against
Washburn for brazen bribery, and
the Democrats on the election’s com
mittee will agree to report in favor of
Washburn. The report shows that
Dounelly is-rightfully elected by 230
majority. This case is of far more
interest to the Democratic party than
to the individuals concerned. If
Donnelly is given his rightful seal,
the salaty of the party is secured in
the event the election of president is
thrown in the House. If Wash burn
is allowed to retain his stolen seat,
and the election is thrown in tbe
bouse, the resolt will be doubtful.
This is too important a question for
flpeer to be airing his independents
isms. Hia,petition gains him tbe ap
plause of the Republicans. A dsy or
two since the National Republican, a
Radical sheet, oopied a puff of Spear
from a Georgia paper, and took the
occasion to encourage Speer in his
oouree. If a Republican was in
Speer’s seat the people of Georgia
would know what to expect, but
Speer claims to be 1 Democrat.

THE ASSOCIATION OF EGGS WITH EASTER.
In answer to thc question why is it
that egga are associated with Easter,
the New York Journal of Commerce
thus replies:
Tbe egg i* an accepted symbol of
the Resurrection. It was used long
before Christianity to represent both
the creation and deluge, as life and
order come out- of chaos, and out of
tbe ark which inclosed it as the shell
does the life to be quickened within
iL The transfer of tbe symbol to the
npw life that comes ont of the grave
*s very natural.' These eggs were
oolered red or crimson to represent
tbe blood poured ont for man’s re
demption, through which alone, as
tba believers held, the new life wee
promised.
From reading the Louisville Cou
rier Journal, ouo might be led to
conclude, that Cel. Henry 'Vaterson
was almost persuaded to be a Tilden
man.
Ou motion of IL P. Bell the basis of
representation in both convention was
fixed at twice the number of rcprescu-
sentatives in the lower branch of the

ATTORNEY-GENERAL ELY.
Crewlbrdville Democrat.
Sometimes it is a very great treat
to visit the Supreme Court of Geor
gia and hear the les med attorneys
plead their causes beiore that august
tribunal.
The arguments made iu the case ol
the State vs. the Southwestern Rail
road Company before the Supreme
Justices were very able.
General Toombs and Attorney-
General Ely represented the State,
and General A. R. Lawton and Judge
Richard F. Lyon contra. As a mat
ter of deserved compliment to the in
dustry and legal talent of Attorney-
General Ely, we quote a remark made
by nn eminent Ex-Judge “The brief
presented to the Supreme Court in the
case ot the State vs. the Southwestern
Railroad Company by the Attorney-
General, was, in my judgment, as
able as any ever argued betbr the Su
preme Court of Georgia,”
shall hold their conventions to choose
delegates to the State Convention.
He thought that this plan would give
better notice and remove a{ prevalent
cause ot complaint.
J. J. Jones said he opposed such a
plan as it might indsc-t the county
organizations to neglect tteir duty of
calling conventions. ”
James; Banks suggested that the
day be named and tiie
county committees be requested to
call all county cjnventions on ^thin
day. He favored the plan of making
it advisory and not ma.ela ory.
It was suggested by -e-cml mem
bers that the proposed plan would be
regarded by tbe county convention
as dictatorial.
'. E. Simmons favored the plan
id gave some sound reasons .for U.
A. W. Johnson said he had seen
how tbe independents used arguments
against county conventions. He said
as mooli about this as any
the chairman, (Judge
Lester.)''-" ■ < ui ... .
This caused a general smile, and
Mr. Johnson prooeeded earnestly to
argoe for a plan te have all the coun
ty conventions on the same day and
i a day to be eaggwted by the com
mittee. He thought-this would hush
apall the bogus talks of indepen
dents shout the people . having, no
notioe of oonnty conventions.
