Gardner, clerk Of registration, that
tie voters are not all turning out

ing colleges and the large denou'na'loos'
which sustain them hostile to It's policy aud
Indifferent to It's ssccess. In such unfriendly
collision the public interests and the great
cause of education would sadly suffer. II
would be much better to let the same gen.
erous cooperation continue which has existed
heretofore.
Nor are we ready 10 believe that.it is safe
for the University to abandon its tuition Tees
and throw itself upon the State for support.
It would soon appear, we think, that an an.
nulty Of $4,000 with no tuition fees from
Virginia academic students Is utterly made.
quate to meet the necessarily heavy demands
of the University, with its seventeen profes.
sors and hsnce the Legislature would be
compelled either to increase the annuity
largely, or, m ore probably zee fear, withdraw
its patronage. ....
Fearing difficulties aud complications, we
favor, in the interests alike OF the university,
the colleges, and the Commonwealth, the
proposition of an annuity Of $4,000 on the
existing basis. Let us raise no new ques-
tons, and, If possible, let us have peace"

For the DisDatch.l
EMORY AND HENRY COLLEGE, Va,
6rnk~,,o~- 30 1STH

EMORY AND Henry COLLEGE, VA.,l
February 10, 1876.
The controversy in reference 10 the appro-
pristion for our University Is to be regretted.
Our colleges should be anti In their effort
to uphold Virginia education. The Univer.
s,ty must continue to be the chief glory Of
it's illustrious founder. Its errors should be
corrected, its prestige maintained, and its
faculty upheld in their effort to keep 1t the
first inatitution in the South.
Instead Of being in their way 1t Is to-day
the great upholder Of the Virginis colleges.
It's fame and the spirit imbibed from it by
the colleges and the desire TO be fitted by
them to enjoy it's higher advantages have
given to Virginia the exalted educational
position she now occupies. The elevating
power of the University is felt to-day In
every grade of schools in our State.
With the downfall OF our University comes
the downfall of our colleges, and we must
resign TO some one of our sister States the
position we now hold. Already the croaker
10 heard to say that Virginia's educational
power is gone; but trust 1t is to be said, to
the honor OF cur present Legislature, that
Virginia. power Is only beginning to be felt.
The zeal for! such an appropriation mani.
tested by our Educational Association slast
summer shows that the mass Of our edu-
Gators are in earnest for the maintenance OF
our University.
The bill az it now stands removes the Uni
verslty out of competition with the colleges.
The new incentive given by 1t to higher edu-
cation will add to the number Of students
desiring to attend the colleges preparatory
to receiving the advantages given free at the
University. With the high.schools graded
up to the colleges, and the colleges graded
UP to the University, and the University
with its high advantages opened free to those
capable of entering It's inner courts, there
comes to Virginia in its near future such
prosperity as she has never seen. -'
For this let us of the Educational Associa-
ton, acting in the spirit of our resolution
made last summer, be jealous workers.

The Texas Pacific.

The Legislatures of Alabama, FLORIDA,
Tennessee, Missouri, South Caroline, Texas.
Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, and one
branch of each Of the L legislatures of Georges
North Carolina, and Arkansas, have passed
resolutions endorsing the Texas Pacific rail-
road bill. The Virginia Legislature is now
asked to follow the example Of her sisters OF

by Congress. The friends Of the measure
embrace tho leading mines and representa-
tives Of all the great interests and industries

ise enough to settle the question and secure

whether the bill lately defeated In the

Its present form. Its passage by bare ma.
jorisy, when we consider the opposition 1t
hiss encountered, and the sources from which
this opposition comes, would, we fear, do the
University more harm tds ae gooa. -,

CANS respectively Of the Baptis.s, rSsD!

GENTLY grave to require official action by
college boards Of trustees.
It's, however, very gratifying to observe
that In the formal preambles and resolutions
adopted by called meetings ofthe trustees o.
our colleges, and In the publications OF lbs
