more arguments, homilics, or anathcnas upon the
subject of extra session. We, for one, would will

entertained by sirgc human being in the State p
Though opposed to it some accounts, yet we had

EMIGRANTs TO LIBERIA.

Eighty emigrants started in the Express Train
on Thursday morning, last December &, 1885,
for Savannah, Ca, where they will embark for the
Republic Of Liberia, in Africa, on the 10th inst.
These cmgrants consisted Of three families or COM
pancs-30 from Maury Co., Tenn, liberated by
the Hon. VIM. Il. Kennedy; l. from Williamson
County, liberated by the will of the late Rev. Thorn
as Douglass, and 80 from Davidson County, liberia
ted by Col, Montgomery Bell. They were all I'M
der the care of Mr.. Samuel ii. Armstrong, Of Maui
ry County; who kindly left his family and business
ON this errand OF beneyolcncc, to see them safely
delivered TO the care Of the American Colonization
Society at Savannah.
These emigrants, the largest company that ev-
er emigrated from Tennessee, were well furnished
with mechanical tools and agricultural implements,
and an abundant supply OF comfortable clothing
and other necesearies Of life. Judge Kennedy
gave each Of his family liberal allowance Of mo
ney for their use on their arrival in Liberia, and
Col Bell, in addition to this, paid all the expenses
of his from Nashville to Liberia. Their ages va
ried from So to year. ''"
Very appropriate religious services were held in
the basement of the First Presbyterian Church for
the benefit of such Of them as were in the city,
tho Sabbath previous TO their departure, and again,

casons the Importance of cultvating moral and in
dustrious habits was urged upon them. They were
a company of fine-looking mon, women and chill
dren, a considerable number Of them being ncn-
bers Of different churches and will constitute, it is
believed, valuable addition to the moral worth
and industry of the young Republic of LiLoria.
The expense of transporting these emigrantt
from Nashville to Savannah at 80 G29 piece, eX-
cluding those of four years Of age and under, was
FIVE hundred and sixty-nine dollars and twenty-five
cents.
The free oolorcd population Of Tennessee, at the
Census Ct 1850, was 6,27l. The condition of these
people having been brought before our Legislature
in memorials from Nashville and other parts Of the
State, bill was introduced in the Senate, appro-
priating $4,000 q year for five years for the
transportation Of such of them as may be willing
to remove to Liberia. This bill having been refer
red to the Committee on Ways and Means, bill
was reported in lieu of it, prohibiting owners from
emancipating their slaves unless provision is made
for their transportation, they shall be hired out
to raise the fund necessary for this object IL is
hoped that the bills may be so combined as to make
an appropriation for the benefit of those that are
now free, and provide as proposed above for the
transportation OF those that may hereafter be freed

BARBARISM IN VIRGINIA.

The Old Dominion has always been half century
behind the times. For considerable period in her
early history, the education of the people at large
was held in utter contempt by the crown officers d
Virginia. While the Puritan settlers of New Eng
land were taxing themselves in wheat and in The
stock oftheir meager farms for the support of com
mon schools, the royalsts of Virginia were sneer-
ing against knowledge for the people. Said sil
W lillian Berkeley, in 1871. "Tho minister should
pray oltencr and preach less. But thank God
there are free schools, printing for learning
has brought disobedience, and hcresy, and sect,
into the world, and printinghas divulged them and
libels against the best government God keep Us
from both"
No wonder that in such State "no Nonconfor-
mist might teach, even in private, under pain o
banishment; and no reader might expound the cate
chism the Scriptures; or that there was statute
in these words;-"All servants, not being Christ
ians imported into this country by shipping, shall
be slayes to which it was added, yet conversation
to the Christian faith doth not make free wide
Bancroft, H. 1873
But that was in the same age in which our own
great-great- t-great, great grandmother (Ot blessed

capped arrest for the same crimo by fight. The Nor

THAT KIDNAPPING CASE.

The trial Of Mrs. X. Boyd, Frank Rust ard Jno.
Gilbert for kidnapping the mulatto girl Henrietta
Wood in Cincinnati, has resulted in their dcgUitdH
The particulars OF this endish and attrUciUus ac;
still fresh in the minds Of the puIlic--how the
girl was persuaded and induced to enter the vehicle
IN that city; the manner in which it leltand crossed
over to TINS side of the rivers and how after it had
arrived Il short distance back Of Covington, it was
stopped 10y Il icnd i'll human shape, who represented
himself as n sheriff, and Henrietta forced from
thence into buggy and taken into the interior Of
this State. How things were worked TO bring the
evidence in on the trial so much at variance with
the examination, we are not advised 1t was made
to appear that Henrietta in reality slave, and
as such was sold by her former owner, II Mr.. Ware,
to Frank Rust Of the parties implicated, for the
very small sum Of $500. Now it is very evident
that there is n screw loose somewhere. 1t is
hardly likely that man owning slave worth at
least 81 900 in this State, would sell her, because
she happened to be in Cincinnati, SeceH hundred
dollars beneath her radiation.
Itappears that Rust boarded with Mrs Boyd, and
it is altogether likely that in consideration Of tie
pecuniary gain, that Mrs. b. was induced by the
aforesaid gentlemen to assist in the abduction 1t
is said that the two last indictments were quashed
and the defendants tried on the first count only
what was the object of this movement! was it not
one Of those designing schemes, calculated, from
the first onset, to bring about such result has
taken placer The count under which they were
tried, charges them with .raudulently aud violently
scizing the person of Henrietta Wood, u free mu-
latto, and keeping her in restraint and confinement,
with the intent to transport her out Of the State,
under the pretcnce that she was q slave. Now we
have only to say in conclusion that if such is be
the decision Of courts, well may all free blacks
cling fast to their dear bought freedom, and seek
shelter only in such places as may not at any mo-
ment be thrown esunder by prOwling BURGLARS
and highway ppers.-Aeducky News.
