EDUCATION OF CoLORED CHILDREN
We learn from the Norfolk Journal that
Rev. Thomas Hume, Sr., is interesting
himself in behalf Of the education Of
the colored children = Portsmouth.
For years Mr.. Hume has been connect
ed with the management Of the free
schools of Norfolk county, and is fully
conversant with everything pertaining
to them. He is thoroughly imbued
with the necessity of education for the
advancement of the material as we'll as
the moral interest of the young, and
his sympathy for them is SO enlarged
that he does not permit his eIertions to
be limited by color. In this he is lit
tie in advance of public sentiment, but
this will not continue to be SO long, for
the people of the South are rapidly
coming to the conclusion. that as ey
will have the negroes asa large element
of their population, whether they will or
no, it would be better SO to train them
as to make them valuable and useful
members Of society.
They will be taught. 1t Is impossible
for them to remain in tho state OF igno-.
rance in which emancipation found
them. Either we or the South must aid
them in their moral advance. OF the
work will be undertaken by strangers
and enemies, who will seek to ALLEVIATE
them from us, and use them as a power
to perpetnate our political degradation
Without any action on our part they
have become enfranchised, and theii
weight will hereafter be felt at the

The Surratt Trial-Expected Developments
by the Defence.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The prosecution
in the Surratt case closed to-day
Mr.. Brady, Jr., madethe opening speech
for the defence He reviewed the testimony
by the prosecution to prove the prisoners
presence here on the 18th Of April, and said
he could prove that most Of its witnesses were
either infamous or mistaken. He would
prove that Surratt was not within four hun
dred miles Of Washington on the day of the
assassination, and, further, that it was nei-
ther Booth, Surratt nor Atzerodt who were
in front Of the theatre on that night. He
would produce on the stand the three men
referred to, and would produce the man who
looked into Lincoln's carriage and the man
who called the time, as we'll as the individ-
ual described as the Misunderstanding man
In closing his remarks, Mr.. Bradley said
he would also produce the original agreement
between the assassins, with their genuine
signatures attached, and that neither the
names of Mrs. Surratt nor the prisoner would
appear on the paper.
An actor named Mathews was before the
judiciary Committee on Monday, ond testi-
fed in effect as follows:
On the day Of the assassination [ met Booth
on horseback. He gave me letter, request
ing me to leave it at the National Intelligent
Ger Office in the morning if he (Booth) had
left town. | received the letter, which was
given me hurriedly and in secret manner
That night during the excitement Of the as
sassination [ remembered the letter, ano
read it, It contained statement signed by
Booth, Payne, Atzerodt and Harold, tina
they had tried to abduct the President ane
failed, and were resolved that they would
sacrifice their four lives in the defence O
their country, and remove by death the Presi
dent. whom they considered the cause of thu
country's troubles. Having read the letter
[ became terrified, and burnt it. Mathew
will testify in behalf Of Snrratt.

Hunnicutt, of the Richmond New Nation

Hunnicutt, of the Richmond New Nation
the Radical leader in Virginia, calls the
Resolutions of the Albemarle Gentlemen
perfect clap trap and fears it is another
"Troian Horse" "flled with armed soldiers
"newly reconstructed secessionists," but as
serts that "at a0iU ',euer capture (the Re-
publican) Troy" He says "these newly
converted responsibilities are not going to
ride ouer and over ride the loyal men who
have borne the heat and burden of the day.
and pronounces their effort ga deep, dark
and damnable plot to divide the Republican
party of Virginia" but declares the Repub-
licans in Virginia too thoroughly drilled to
be captured by these new converts. There
fore there will be no seats in Hunnicutt 8
Convention for the Albemarle delegation,
and besides Hunuicutt says ''his disciples
will henceforth govern Virginia" Really
the Albemarle co-operationists are in a nice
condition, spurned by the Republicans, with
but few sympathizers elsewhere.

Better the shot, the blade the bowl,

What they can't do, no one has yet ventured

With regard to the precise character of the

it would be idle at present to speculate. -
From the tenor Of the proposition already
