DEATH OF AN OLD FASHIONED Viz
GrNIAN.-Virginia has lost another
gentleman of the old school in the
person of Colonel Thomas Jefferson
Randolph, of Edge Hill, in the coun.
ty of Albemarle, who, after o long
and well spent lite, has been gather
ed to his fathers. The Enquirer
published brief biographical sketch
of the deceased, from which we take
the following:
Col. Randolph wac the oldest son
ofGov. Thomas Mann Randolph and
Martha, the daughter of Thomas JEFF
ferson, and was born September IL,
1902, and was the oldest grandson of
Thomas Jefferson. Col. Randolph
passed many of his early days with
lis illustrious grandfather, and was
with him portion of the time du-
ring bis Presidency. lie was a
scholar of remarkable research and
OF the most comprehensive informa-
ton as regards political history and
the brighter era of the present centu
ry; His debut in political life was in
1882 as a representative of Albe>
marie County in the Lower House of
the General Assembly. He was a
member of this body pending the re.
solutions Tor abolition, and warmly
supported them ; and, upon appears
ing before his constituency at the en-,
suing election, was again returned,
although Albemarle was one of rhe
largest slaYeholding counties in the
State.

South Carolina Affairs

"Bull Run" the able Washington
correspondent of the Augusta Chron-
icle and Sentinel in one OF HIS inter
esting letters to that journal, has the
following, concerning South Carolina:
Ex-Governor Moses, of South Caro-.
lima, has made application to the Prea
sident for the appointment as Minis
tor Plenipotontiary to Liberia. His
application is endorsed by President
Roberts and other functionares of
that far distant Colony. 1t is said
here that Cardozo is also interested
in "The Grand African Continental
Railroad" and the object in sending
Moses there is to enable the project
ors tho better to hoodwink the na>
tiyes. The African project may yet
solve tho Southern problem, at least
it will result in riddinR tho States of
many obnoxious carpet baggors.-
Turner is also a party to tho project,
and know whereof he was asserting
when no made his declaration and
propositions in tho recent negro Con-
vention at Augusta.
The Aiken Tribune is right when it
declares that Charleston is benefited
by the recent municipal election. The
plan to give the Conservatives poss>
ession of the city two years hence is
thoroughly matured and cannot fail of
success. Let us hope that Sparnick,
the editor of the Tribune, has by this
discovered his mistake in temporarily
endorsing Radicalism, and ha again
returned to the Democratic fold. We
will welcome him back.
An interesting set of politicians
from South Carolina have Just left
hero. They camo on to confer with
= leading Radicals on the political out
look for next year. Tho delegation
tsas headed by slippery Dick, yclopt
II. B. Carpenter, who is fishing for
recollection TO tho Judgoship of tho
Columbia Circuit. Tho other mems
bers were Runklo, Northrop, Jim
Thompson, of Frecdman's Bank notos
riety, and q little fellow named Gaye
lord, who camo along to keep the
party sober, and see that the interests
of his friend Moses received no dotri-
mont. After destroying an immense
amount of mean whiskey, and lavish
ing their money in questionable ways,
the party left for home-Gaylord
having 70 purchase the return tick-
cts. Thoy resolved to ronominate
"reformcr Chamberlain, with Cain,
of Edgefeld, for Lieutenant Governor.
Whittemore is on their slate for Se>
cretary of State, and Bowen for the
Treasurer. If this combination wins
tho people can best judge of Cham
berlain's efficacy as "rcformer" next
year. The negroes are still hero who
charge Gov. Chamberlain with com>
plicity in the Crewe murder. There
is no doubt in my mind that Crews
was killed by Radicals for political
effect.

The Proposed Negro Exodus.
SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. Is. 1875

| hul'or morning News-For sever
al days you have been hurling at my
head heavy phillippics about my Al
rican project, but you invariably
connect me with the Liberian coloni
zation enterprise. l hope you will
do me the justice to disconnect me
from Liberia, as / am no advocate
OF that institution. l do hold, how
ever, that God, in permitting the
slavery of the negro of this country,
intended it to rebound to the civiliza
ton and christianizatlon of Africa,
otherwise we would have to charge
our Maker with folly. l further
believe that we, (the colored people,) }
like the lsraelites, have ultimately to
return to our father land, and carry
with us the form of civilizatin and
the practice Of that Christian religion
we have learned from your white
people. This has beeu my opinion
for several years, but have partially
concealed them, because the idea
has been 80 revolving to my people

impracticable and ruinous to the

ored people to begin the work Prov
idence has assigned US.
believe that the whites of this
country will ultimately have to do as
the Egytians did-lend us their ear
rings, finger rings and other precious
ornaments and jewels, or, in other
words, give us aid to return to our
tatherland and build up negro ma
ticnality, that we may teach our
brethren thero the principles of civil
government and the religion of our
l. rd and Savior Jesus Christ. Could
we get possession of Fernando Po,
ST. Thomas Island, or some of those
healthy AID salubrious islands in the
Gulfof G inca, we could carry up
the Niger river enough of moral, re-
ligious and intellectual enlighten
ment to redeem Africa in hundred

Corruption.

Thr Columbia Register of the Goth
instant says:
The following communication was
handed to us last night by Mr.. FL. L.
Shrewsbury, of the school book com.
mission:
The Governor and Mr.. Shrews-
bury, two of the members of the
school book commission, have read
letters and editorial of the News and
Courier to day, respecting the ais
ledgo d action of j. Douglass Robert
son, member of that commission.
They unite in requesting us to state
thu rough the Register that no knowl-
edge or hint Of any improper ar,
rangements or proposals of Roberts,
son ever came to them until after
the work Of the commission was com.
pleted. They say that the Governor
wac present at all the meetings of the
commission, and that their own acA
tion was governed wholly by their
views of the merits of the books pre-
sented for their examination. Since
the adjournment of the commission,
information has reached them that
Robertson has made corrupt propos-
ais to the firm of Brewer and Tiles
ton, in Boston, and copy of letter
by Robertson to g member of that
firm was to day shown the Governor,
which, if the letter be genuine, dis.
closes the most corrupt purposes ON
Robertson's part.
They further say that they sought
the advice of Mr.. Jillson, State Su.
perintondent, and Of AMtr. Warren,
Principal of the State Normal School,
in the selection of books, and were
largely influenced by the written
views of Mr.. Warren. They have
no knowledge that Robertson's de-
signs were communicated to any
other members Of the board; and
while their own views of the proper
selection OF books were sometimes
overruled by the commission, they
regarded those cases as fair matters
OF difference.
They say that 80 far as they are
BILE to accomplish it, the matter s!'a!!
be Investigated to the bottom; and if
any Of the board have been guilty
of corrupt practices, or If any of the
books selected are shown to be in.
trinsically Objectionable, they will
make the proper changes; and if the
charges against Robertson are sus.
tanned, he shall be exposed, and his
corrupt work undone, 30 far as it
may havo affected the work of the
board.
Tie Governor has directed Mr..
Shrewsbury, the secretary of the
commission, to call meeting of the
commission Immediately to take into
consideration the charges made
againet Robertson, and TO take such
action as may be deemed Advisable.

Address on Education.

Last Saturday night our citizens were
favored with an address Oh an educa-
tional interest, from Rev. r.. &. Burle-
son, DID,, agent Of the Peabody fund
for Texas. The speaker showed the
large educational resources of Texas In
landand money, which many acquain-
ted with the value of the sixty million
acres of land estimate at fifty million
dollars-much of it having been loca-
ted many years ago in sections since
densely populated, rendering it now
quite valuable.
Much valuable information was CIV
ell by the speaker in regard to the in
terest manifested by the fathers of Tex
as, in the great cause of the education
Of the rising race.
President Burleson visits Dallas to
ascertain what action the citizens will
take in order to be made participants
III the benefits Of the Peabody fund.
He will interview leading citizens with
view of comparing notes on that i'm
portant subject. We wish him and
his enterprise great success.

THE URSULINE CONVENT.
A Brief Sketch OF Cur New Religions
and Educational Institution.

The order of clustered nuns, known
as Ursulines, or Daughters of st. Ur-
sula," was founded in 1885 by Angela
Merici, who was born March q. I474.
at Dezanzeno, n little town In Italy,
situated on lake Garda, in Bressans,
six leagues from Brescia. She was fam.
Gus for her piety, learning and zeal In
the education of young girls, to which
she devoted her life. BY her precept,
example and work, she did much to
promote purity of life and culture. In
1907 Pope Plus VII. canonized this holy
woman. In every civilized country
the order Is now represented by con-
vents In which young girlsare educated
and brought up under the eyes of pious
nuns, who devote their time to the in.
struction of them in all spiritual infor-
nation, and In habits of neatness,
truth, virtue and modesty.
The building just erected here is

There is an air of simple comfort and
cleanliness about It which shows disci-
pline, order and intelligent manage.
