Convention OF GOlOred School

ST. LOUIS, December 29.-The colored
school teachers Of this State have been in

ed, and the whole ground Of education
and facilities for its requirement was
gone over, and it is believed that much
benefit to all concerned will grow out Of
the meeting.
A resolution was adopted heartily en-

races are amply furnished; and that in
many cases the enumeration Of colored
persons OF schoolable age ia neglected,
and the apporlionment provided by the
State never reaches these districts, and
thus the colored children are deprived ol
the educational privileges deaigned for
them by the State. As a remedy for this
they suggest the appointment Of colored
assistant State Superintendent, whose
duty itshsll be to specially look after the
interests Of the colOred public schools.
The petition also asks that in all school

their admission into the white schools o.
such districts.

more than 30 writer's scattered along over
fifteen centuries, with variety Of style and

Of which It's several writer's were igno-

Of God as our Saviour. Exhibiting also O

evidence Of being the product OF one

6. How far does It make good il
claim?
(l.) It answers the great questions Of
the soul concerning The character OF God
the destiny Of man and the manner OF
escaping the just consequences OF our
sins.
(2) These answers are such as COM
mend themselves 10 our acceptance when
correctly aPprehended. They are their
own evidence.
(3) 1t records facts which have histor.
ic authority, independent OF It's inspirA-
tlOn, which can no more be denied than
the facts in the life Of Cesar or Washing.
ton-facts Of Christ's life which cannot
be accepted without conveying to the
mind evidence Of all ita other truths.
a The acceptance by any people for
what it Clains 10 be, invariably resulted
in their moral and spiritual elevation.
And no one doubts that il any man will
allow himself 10 be controlled by il
and will permit its great truths to have
their Legitimate effect upon his life, he
will steadily advance from lower. 10
higher stages until he stands a. moral and
spiritual monument 10 the correctness OF
the, Bibles claim for itself.
T. What objections are offered against
its general acceptance? Mainly these
two, that it contains contradictions and is
in conflict with the conclusions Of modern
science. 1t is by no means admitted that
the Bible contains these errors, but those
alleged are in the main trivial and none
OF them offer standard of religious
truth. II one should object 10 Dana's

that he discovered few grammatical

one think it worth while TO answer these
objections
Ii he did, would it not be quite enough
TO ask how do these errors render It un.

alleged discrepancies are trivial and can
be attributed to transcriberS, or harmo.
nized. The conflict with science cannot be
shown. But aside from this disposition Of

A Peculiar Case in the Criminal
Courts.

PHILADELPHIA, December 29.-Judge
Pierce to-day gave decision in the case
Of John A. Brown, the negro barber who,
Thanksgiving night, while drunk, shot
and seriously injured the sou OF Hon.
VIM. D. Kelly, Brown on trial plead
guilty, and was sentenced to two and one
half years imprisonment, claiming to have
been 10 much under the influence of liq-
uor as not to be responsible for
his actions. The question here was
on an effort TO have the sentence re-
considered, Judge Pierce claiming to
have obtained evidence showing Brown
to have been desperate character, and
that he had previously been guilty Of
murderous assaults. Judge Pierce Ai-
tirmed the justice Of the previous sentence
holding that sentence affecting the per.
sonal liberty Of party was too solemn
an injunction to be supposed to have
been made upon 40 light a
consideration and the administration
OF justice might assume an aspect Of VEN
geance, il in such n case sentence,
solemnIy imposed upon the evidence
submitted, should be set aside aud a
greater sentence be imposed. The pris-
oner, however, had plead guilty Of carry
ing concealed deadly weapons on which no
sentence had been passed and he would
therefore sentence him TO one years i'm.
prisonment; after expiration Of his sen.
tence under the bill Of assault, and in ad.
dition would hold him in $50, 900 bail to
keep the peace for one year, after expira.
tion Of sentence for carrying concealed
deadly weapons.

As there are but seveDty.Sj1 members
OF the Senate, and as fifty Ia the two
thirds OF seventy.si1, the Tribune thinks
that the defeat Of !he bill may possibly
turn on the casting vote Of the Vice
President. The bill will be sure 10 pass
the House over the veto.
We may explain that the difference
between the Bland bill and the bill re.
ported from the Finance Committee Of
the Senate, consists principally in the
unlimited coinage feature Of the former,
which by the latter ia limited 10 four
millions per month as maximum. The
Bland bills allows every body to
have all the bullion they possess,
or can buy up on speculation,
coined into dollars at the U. s. mints,
and makes the whole volume Of silver
thus coined an unlimited legal tender for
all public and private debts.
The Senate bill would give US a silver
imitation Of forty eight millions per year,
and would preserve the profits oil coinage
to the Government.

borrowing Money Upon Land

The Kanawha Gu.slte publishes pa.
thetic dialogue between an editor and a
farmer on the subject OF borrowing
money. The farmer is made 10 say that
he has farm worth, before the panic,
$1,000, on which he has expended $4,000
in the way Of improvements, and he in.
quires Of the editor il on the strength Of
this 10000 security he can borrow $4,000
at a low rate OF interest. OF course the
editor laughs at the farmer. As becomes
atrue Kanawha editor he replies to him
ss follows:
"You ought to know that all values
are confined to Government bonds, and
that nothing else is deemed sufficient Sc
cu'ity for money!"
This answer ia intended to convey to
the farming people Of the Kanawha Val
ley the impression that the money lenders
OF the country are, as a rule, lending
their money on Government bonds, and
thar farmer is, as it we're, an object Of
contempt among them.
There ia another side of this pretended
dialogue which no man will ever read in
q kanawha paper. To begin with, a
farmer who owns an unencumbered farm
worth $4,000, does not need to borrow
$4,000. II would be, to say the least, re.
msrkable, TO 6nd such a man under the
necessity OF borrowing 5000 to carry on
the Legitimate operations Of his business.
His application would therefore properly
be n subject of close inquiry and suspi.
cion among money lenders. OF all men
asolvent farmer has the least occasion to
borrow, and this fact is we'll understood
among capitalists. Occasionally, how.
ever, farmers do borrow, and when their
applications are reasonable in amount
and on short time, they generally borrow
on their own paper, properly endorsed,
at the average rate Of interest, with.
out being called on for a mort.
gsge. When, however, farmer wants
to borrow as Spectator; as, for
instance, for the purchase OF more
land, or Of drove OF cattle, or to set one
oI his boys up in business, he is not con-
sidered at bank boards desirable custo-
mer, and il loan is made to him it is in
the expectation that it will be carried for
u long time, and possibly become trouble
some, and therefore he is called on TO
secure it at higher rate OF interest than
he would otherwise be called TO pay.
There is an immense amount OF money
loaned on tarma throughout the United
States; far more than on Government
bonds. The owners OF government bonds
are not, as rule, borrowers Of money.
They are capitalists. In the large cities
moneyis borrowed on call on government
bonds, at low rates, but such loans are
made from day TO day, and are often
changed two or three times per week
Business men do not, to any extent worth
speaking Of, borrow money in this way
The rate is low because the security
Is convertible on sight into money, and In
this respect it differs wholly from the se
curity offered by farm. Therefore
there is no point in the dialogue in the
G0zette between the farmer and editor OF
this subject, in 40 far as it undertakes II
exalt Government bonds IA security a
the expense otlegiIimate agricultural in
tereats
