The spirit that would trek to teir down one ol these in order to build up the oiliers, or to roluso to have free tuition at one became they cannot have it at all three, is a spirit they despise. Pore lUmiovrA October SO, 1881. ^ OEml Organ of Clarke Countv and Cilv ol Alios. Continued from first pu"o. aliko. When Dr. Landrum, there fore, talks about what the Methodists and Ha|)li*t8 deserve at the hands of ‘their legislators,* ho ..either lorgets hiftpalf or is ready to introduce here, in a new fonu, doctrines that our Methodist and BaplUt forefalliors wiped out in blood a hundred years ago. What he really means is this: be cause free tuition could not bo estab lished at Mercer and Kmory^theii it should not Im cstabln-lied anywhere. The people at large shall not have it at all, anywhere, because they cannot have it at those two institutions. lie speaks of ths ‘rival’ institutions and •electioneering* for pupils. What a dog iu the manger spit it f The legis lature of Georgia that would rcluso the boon of free tuition to the people at the State University, out of regard for siclariau colleges, and make the people at largo the sufferers in order to make two such colleges prosperous, would be unfit for their trust. I be lieve that every member of the legis lature who voted lor the bill making tuition tree at the Stale University, would have cheerfully voted the same amount to Mercer ami Kmory, each, if it could have been lawfully douc. I am sure 1 would. It would havo given us pleasure to have done more than we did, but the constitution per* milled one and prohibited the other. (Seo conBlilulifpv •rti 1, sec. 1, par. 14.) And in tv 1 * Of/nnoctiou I would again remind Dr JjAr.druin that the men who made ihWooustitution wen —a majority of mem—Methodists and Baptists, as well as a majority of the legislature. It is not necessary tor mo to call attention to the inconsistency in the Doctor’s letter. After his tirade against free tuition at universities, he sots hjs wits to work to devise scheme to make it tree at Mercer, hope he may succeed. It will he blessing to the stale; and it he will call on the members of the leaisla- turo who voted for the free tuition bill, they will all subscribe to help him make it free at Mercer. Ifij plan is a good one, and ought to be put in to. operation. If it succeeds, I will underwrite that free tuition at Mcr- csr will not bo found ‘damaging in practice.* But I muai tako my leavo of the Doctor. In doing so, I beg leave to say that in one respect, he has done injustice to the Methodists and Baps tists ot Georgia. Tiiero is not ia my opinion, a more liberal minded, more catholic, a more tolerant, or a more generous pconle on earth, than FREE TUITION AT THE UNIVERSITY. Wc copy to-day from the Christian Index an article by Hon. Pope Bai row in reply to one from llev. Dr. Hylvanus Landrum. Mr. Barrow de** tends the action of the legislature in making tuition free at the University by appropriating #2,000 per annum to that institution, and his defense is an able and interesting on**. It will lie read with interod. uy every friend of the University,and oot less by those who do not agree with him in the nr- tiinent. The continued agitation of this mat* ter reminds us of the story of & dar- koy who went forth one night to rob a hen roost. Ths sky was overcast with clouds, and the muttering thun der betokened a coming storm. A a the predaceous darkey gathered in the first heu, there was a blinding flash of lightning, followed by a ter rific peal of thunder ‘•Humph !’* said tho astounded thief, ns he re gained his composure; “seems to me you are makin* a heap o* fuss over jes one little pullet.’* A IIA ITT HIT.
