Hammond in his recent address on higher education has ele vated him in the estimation of Geor gians every where. Mr. Hammond’s thorough knowledge of the University’s affairs authorizes liim to speak knowingly and fearlessly in its behalf, and his speech is one of value to the legislature. He is a great champion of the University’s interests as is shown by the following extracts from his speech: “Wbat is the University ? What is its origin, and what is its purpose? In 1784 certain lands (40,000 acres) were set apart for the endowment of a col lege, a seminary of learning. In 1785 additional lots were put in for the pur pose of making “one general and com plete establishment.” What was tie 40,000 acres at that time? Our popula tion then extended only from Franklin county to the mouth of the St. Mayt’s, scattered all the way; only 00,000 whites and 30,000 negroes by the census of 1790. It was a fund large enough at the time, but they contemplated giving much more. They had then that mag nificent territory Avhich now makes Alabama and Mississippi. Virginia had then that vast territory which makes the Northwestern States beyond the Ohio. The people were looking for ward to education as the only means of building up a country. And when, in 1781, the United States asked Virginia to give that territory to the general government Virginia agreed to do so upon several conditions. Among them are that they must declare that primo geniture shall be abolished in that ter ritory ; that no longer shall the older son inherit all the property of the father to the exclusion of his brothers and sis ters. Besides, they must declare that every sixteenth section of land in that territory shall be devoted to purposes of education. The great schools, the munificent educational endowments west of the Ohio stand upon the solid foundation laid by Jefferson in the rcso lutions of 1787. Our charters and con stitution gave us absolute control over this territory, now composing Ala bama and Mississippi, and the United States asked Georgia to give that terri tory for States westward. Georgia agreed to do so upon conditions, among which were the same terms on which Virginia ceded hers. That was our “compaccof 1802.” And the splendid schools of Mississippi to-day rest upon those lands. Alabama, wise In her generation, went to Congress and got permission to exchange the sixteenth sections for such as she might select, and she has to-day the mineral lands around Birmingham and elsewhere, and next to Texas is the wealthiest State, prospectively, in the Union for cduea tional purposes. The people of Georgia laid the foundation for that education Butin 1794 we had had that great swindle know as the “Yazoo fraud,” and our legislators began to fear that the great bodies of land would not be well used. Therefore, they adopted upon a different plan. “I wish you to observe it,” said Mr. Hammond, “because I am making an argument which, as I understand it, makes it a simple duty upon the peo ple of Georgia to respond when called upon for educational purposes. What was the argument? We enacted first that certain soldiers, called “The Vir ginia Line,” and some others, should have so many acres apiece, and hence those who came down and settled in Wilkes, and all that part of the State. Gen. Toombs’ ancestors had three thousand acres of land for meritorious conduct. Georgia resolved to divide our lands, the poorest in 405 acre lots, the next in 202>£ acre lots, the next in 80 acre lots and the next in 30 acre lots. We gave the land to the people unpaid for, put it with them so as to hold trustees, taxa ble for public good. Our fathers en joyed the use until the State should need some return.- What did we do with that surplus fund in 1836, and how did it come ? When the proposition was made in Congress to distrsbute the surplus, objection was made that under the constitution of the United States there was no authority to put out hands in the treasury and draw out money for distribution among the States, The reply of Mr. Wkbstkr was: This money raised from the sale of public lands, under the ordinance of 4 1787, which ordi nance declares that it belonged to the people of the United States, and it is not like money raised in the usual ways. We got our *1,000,000 appro priated, of which three-fourths were paid before the repeal of the act. We gave one-third of it to the poor school fund, as I have told you, and put the other two-thirds of it, in December 1866, just six months after the appro priation, into the building of the West ern & Atlantic Railroad. The money that built that great road, over the lease of which you are here talking and con testing today, was obtained by the sale of the school lands that Virginia, and Georgia had given away* pro bono pub lico. And I say that in morals anv lawyer who can draw a bill to follow trust property through various hands, could, in a court of equity, recover that money for educationalpurposes today.” breath and kindling eye of Robert Toombs. Certainly nowhere in the lives of southern men cau there be found material .for so striking, rich and de licious a byograpby as here. The inspiration to perform this grate ful work has entered at last into the hearts and brains of two young Geor gians who are peculiarly fitted by affec tion and talents for the work which they propose to do. Mr. R. T. DuBose the grandson of the great commoner, and Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall, the brilliant and accomplished editor of the Augusta Chronicle have assumed the task of writing the life of Robert Toombs. Through Mr. DuBose, they will have access to all the necessary in formation, the papers manuscripts and records for the accurate writing of the great Georgian’s life, and to this Mr. DuBose adds talent and capacity to discriminate and classify among the mauy incidents of his great career. No pen in Georgia is better qualified to do brilliant and effective service in a bi ography of this kind than that of Mr. Stovall, llis talents and attainments peculiarly, fit him for just such a task. He writes with brilliant clearness and force, his mind is just ami fair, accurate philosophical, and his English is fresh anil as pure as that of any man who writes in Georgia at the present day. It is safe to say that the history which will be reviewed and finished by bis skillful and brilliant hand will make matter of delightful interest to every Georgian.. It is indeed a lofty task that these young men have assumed and yet not a difficult one, for the life of Mr. Toombs is so rich in incident and in graphic action that, one who possessed any in formation relating to him could not fail to write an .interesting book even in tlie detail of one half the incidents of his -checkered and impulsive and bril liant career. The volume will be a great addition to the literature and bi ography of Goergia; in fact, an indis- pensihle addition to the story of Geor gia’s historic record. After all there is no greater, braver and more rugged figure in Georgia’s annals than that of Robert Toomirs. No man lias been more uncorruptibly honest, no man war- ever more unquestionably fearless in the defense of truth and the arraign ment of error, no eloquence of a more brilliantnud magnetic character ever Hashed over the issues that in bis day divided Georgaa,andno life spent within its limits has been richer in munificent charity and splendid appeal for the best and truest thing that eloquence could advocate or patriotism maintain The above is copied from tlie Trib, une, of Rome, And‘can be heartily en dorsed by every man in tlie State. IMPORTANT CHANGES, In the Western Railroad Situation Likely to Be Made. Chicago, Aug 12.—That the present week will bring some important changes in the Western railroad situa tion is confidently expeeted. More than usual interest attaches to the meeting of the several divisions of tlie Western Freight Association, under stood-that determined efforts will be made to solve the problems that have cacsed all the existing difficulties. One off the knottiest.questions the meeting will have to deal with is that relating to the live stock traffic from Kansas City and points beyond. It is a ques tion the consideration of which is more likely to lead to a row than to a peace ful adjustment of the dittereuees be tween the interstate lines. For 'that reason the General Freight Agents may onclude to touch it lightly and jpass it over to tlie managers, who meet day after to-morrow. Anotlujr big stum bling block is the mueh-mjpked-question of commodity rtites. The Senate Court Charges -Him With Treason and Conspiracy. Special to the Banner. Paris, August 14.— Upon the open ing of the senate court yesterday mem bers of tlie right declined to take fur ther part in the proceedings in the ease of General Boulanger. It was finally decided by a vote of 101 ito 7 that the court was competent. Two senators refrained from voting. Tfiie court then, by 206 votes, found General Boulanger guilty of conspiracy, tidx senators did not vote. Tne court found Count Dillon and II. Itocliefort guilty of complicity in the plots. It also decided, <by a vote of 118 to 10, that Boulanger was guilty of treasonable attempts against the state in connection with the Lyon depot in cident. A HAD DEATH. The wires bring a sad message in news of the death of Mrs. John Temple Graves. This bright and lovable lady died in Rome yesterday morning after a short illness. She -had not been in good health for aevereral years, but no one dreamed that the end was so near. The blow falls with crushing force upon one of Georgia's nojlest young sons. In a day the best hope, the brightest inspiration of his life has gone- The heart most loyvl to him in all liis trials and triumphs; that welcomed with so much ptide the lengthening strides of his progress, and that has been crowning his active life—this gentle heart has ceased to heat. Mrs. Graves was Miss Mattie Simp son, of Sparta. Several years of her girlhood were spent in Augusta, and her friends remember her with love. She was the sister of.Mrs. A. C. Ruck er, of Athens. Those who knew her,- think of her with affection. Her home life was full of bravery and the gentleness of Chris tian grace. An ideal home in Rome was the beautiful spot which she conse crated for her husband and his friends. When such sweet spirits are translated we are convinced that There is no d< atli— The S ars go down to shine upon some fairer land. We can hut reiterate the sentiments of the Augusta Chronicle in the above touching little editorial tribute to this sweet and noble woman. She was well known in Athens and greatly beloved by all. life of Robert toombs. The most picturesque and dashing figure among all the great Georgians* of the present century was Robert Toombs, of Washington. It is a wonder that so notable and striking a character, so brilliant and dominant an intellect and so meteoric a career should have been left so long without a biography among the peo ple who to tl lis day speak with bated MOB LAW AND VIOLENCE. Tlie Atlanta people have gotten into a pretty mess. Last night’s scenes of armed thousands,of enraged multitudes and terrified negroes is one not often seen in quiet and peaceful Atlanta There is something wrong there, and we believe like the Augusta Chronicle when it says: “The people who hanged in effigy the Republican officials in Atlanta have be come convinced that they engaged in very empty performance. The conduct of Postmaster Lewis in forcing a negro into the department was under the cir cumstances, unfortunate and unwar ranted. The resignation of Mr. Lyons and his daughter was right and proper. But the trouble lay deeper than Buck or Lewis. These men are merely the creatures of a party which dictates such methods and tolerates such a condition of the civil service. The admission of an incompetent black into such an im portant trust was only possible under Republican rule.” Harmony Grove Notes, Special to the Banner.

JEFFERSON ©AVIS. He Greets and Applauds an Ex-Con federate Organization. S]>ecial to the Banner. Little Rock, Ark. August 14.—Re sponding to the announcement of an organization of ex-Coufederate veterans at Pine Bluff, Jefferson Davis writes Col. Chas. Newman, of that town, say ing, among other things: ‘It is gratifying to me to see the brave men who sustained our righteous cause preserving the .memories of their service and cultivating a fraternity which was generated intiie severe trials they endured together. Please give my cordial greeting to your associates, who, I feel, may be consoled for the loss of much else in -the remembrance that their honor remains unstained, and that the truth .for which they suf fered is imperishable.” Where is the Money? Special to The Banner. Atlanta, Aug. 14.—State Treasurer Hardeman is a little worried over the summer appropriations made by the Legislature. Said he this morning, in talking to Speaker Clay, of the House: “I am thinking seriously wf calling the attention of the Governor to thi matter of summer appropriations. ’ ’ “In tlie fall the tax budgets from the different counties are made up, and then' the legislature makes its ap propriations to fit the tax receipts. When the two houses meet in the sum mer they go on making appropriations without making any provisions to meet them.” Jefferson Items. Special to the Banner.
