Virginia Legislature.

Saturday last, the House of Delegates
passed a bill which takes away the dis
cretion as to the disposition ofthe sur
plus Of the Literary Fund, vested in
the School Commissioners under the
law of the last session, and applies the
whole to the education Of the poor.
Thus is the entire benefit of the Litera-
ry Fund apportioned between the two
extremes of society-the rich and the
poor-to the exclusion of the middle
class. Therich have their splendidly
endowed University, which absorbs
yearly s ,000-and the poor have
had their share in the annual appropri-
alton of$45, 000--to the longpostpone-
ment of the claims of those who have
to look to Academies as the highest
means within their reach for the liberal
education oftheir children. They were
told, however, that when the surplus
interest should amount to $40, 600, af-
ter paying the appropriations to the u
University and the Poor, they would be
admitted to participation III the ben
efits of the Fund. And noD, when
that time has arrived, they find, alas,
that the word of promise which has
been SO continually rung in their ears,
is at last forever broken to their hope

Mr.. Editor,-l have recently received
from the Rev. Henry Trend, of Bridge
water, Eng. letter dated June 9, 1887.
of which the following is an extract:-
"At the last meeting of the Baptist
Western Association, comprising A

and 18th of May, the following resolution
on the subject of American Slavery, was
unanimousIy adopted. The brethren felt

FRoN BROTHER o. J. HAcKErr-
g Albany, Aug 8, 1887. The Lord is
still pouring out his spirit in this vicinity.
The work commenced the first of last
spring. 1t is chiefly in the south part of
Albany and the north west part of Eaton
adjourning. Between forty and fifty have
been hopefully converted. A goodly num-
Der have been baptized. We expect 9TH
ers will be soon."
The revival in Brunswick, Me- still
continues and new cases Of awakening
and hopeful conversions occur almost dali
iIv. Sixty or seventy are still anxious, be-
sides more than seventy who are INDUCING
hope As yet there is not breath of op
position While the strong and the weak
are bowling together, all are convinced
that the work is of God. Great numbers
attend the meetings, and the work is
spreading into the ad jacent towns. Ed.

The Lord is doing great things for his
people on Malta circuit Ohio: Chris

their beds. at late hour of the night, to

MANY souls have been converted to God.
In the Piscataway Church, New Jer-

what is still more gratifying, the whole
vicinity seems to be more or less awake

We suppose the General Association
can reconcile this with the following res
olutlon, which they passed at the same
meeting:

and candid discussion on the subject O
slavery, and also Of all other proper meth

rect moral sentiments tohieh mag haUe an

The Association would certainly do
the world favor by informing it, what
are proper methods Is it proper for
the Miss Grimkes to speak to gentlemen
in private parlor, with their o,on per-
mission Is it proper in the stage coach,
and steamboat 2-in hired hall i'm a
district school-room ?-if they must be
forced out from the sacredness of the pull
pit cushions May they use the pen if
denied the tongue? Those who have
made themselves the special guardians of
female manners should answer many such
questions.
houghtto be observed, also, that the Miss
Grlmkes have not only the sanction of
the religious body to which they belong,
but they have actually been obliged by the
importantly of the men of Massachusetts
to admit them to their lectures, which
they designed to sonfne to their own Sex.
Who will lay a straw in the way Of their
able and effective advocacy Of the rights of
the poor victims of our own Christian op-
preston 2-Emancipator.
We give the foregoing for the sake OF
correcting an error that found way into the
last Report of the Vermont Anti-Slavery
Society. For the error, whatever there is OF
it, we are responsible-at least for its ap-
pearance in that place. The source whence
we derived the information that the Grimkes
were employed agents of the American
Anti-Slavery Society, we have forgotten
but we considered the information to be
correct at the time. And yet, on turning to
the Report, the language used shows that
we were not positive, and that we did not
use positive language. 1t reads thus -
Your Committee beg leave here to notice
two important measures of the parent So
ciety-f they are the Society's measures,
&c.
But the article, above, is worth more than
its value for correcting the error. Wha
less, or more, we ask, is the truth worth
coming from the mouths of these females or
their own responsibility, than it would be il
they had chosen to be agents of the Amer
can Anti-Slavery Society, and that Society
had chosen TO employ them as such7 Thi:

DIED,


In Rutland, the l4th instant, Mr.. George
True, son of Mr.. Osgood True aged 80. The
deceased had long entertained hope of interest
in the mercy of God through Christ. 1t is be-
lieved that he experienced religion before reach
ing the age of IA years. He did not, however,
make public profession of his faith in Christ for
about 10 years after that period. The churches
with which he has been connected can bear an
honorable testimony of his worth az member
He ever sought the peace and prosperity of the
church of which he was member. Few have
been more ready according to the ability possess
ed. to contribute to the support of the gospel,
and the various benevolent enterprises of the age.
With him religion was an every day coHcern.-
Few give more pleasing evidence of being deep
ly imbued with tho spirit of Christ. As would
naturally be expected, the approach of death did
not alarm MIN. His sickness, the consumption,
was long and painful; but he endured it with
christian patience. Although, in the early part
Of his sickness for the sake Of his connexions,
especially his aged parents, who had looked to
him TO be the stay and support Of their declining
years, he felt an anxious desire to recover, yet he
would still s,y, "Thy will be DONE" As his
disease progressed, and he was compelled to re-
linquish all hope of returning health, he was
composed and at times even joyful. He seemed
to welcome with pleasure every indication of the
approach of his last hour. His confidence in the
Redeemer, failed not, and through faith in him he
gained the victory over the last enemy. He has
gone, we trust, to reap the reward of the right

JUST AS MIGHT HAVE REEN EXPECTED
The editor of the Peoples Press has neither
magnanimity, moral courage, nor common
honesty enough to allow the Telegraph a
hearing before his readers, showing the in
justice of his late hypocritical attack. We
know this to be severe language. The
charge of hypocrisy is grave charge, and
never should be made without the best of
evidence fany evidence is needed in the
case, in addition to what appeared before,
here it is:
"The editor of the Telegraph informs US
that he did not design to be understood as
adopting the sentiment of the article from a
Texan paper, which we recently found in
his columns. Truly 1re should have been
astonished to hear him say OTHERWISE"
The italicising is our own. Thus he &C
knowledges that while he was straining tc
the utmost to make his readers believe that
the Telegraph sympathizes with the Texan
murderers, he did not beIiere it himself
Indeed, so far was he from believing any
such thing, as he was charging against The
Telegraph, he could hare been astonishec
to find his oUn CHI drge true!
We have very little more ink, paper, pa
thence, or time to throw away on such heart
