negro question and expressed himself
in a very decided fashion. Wherever
the negro appears politics must always
come into the race. Now we do not
keep up West Point to equalize the
negro with the white man, but to
make soldiers. The negro has the
same right as the white man he can
buy and sell and engage in any trade
or occupation, and enjoy himself just
as the white man. But il you want 20
compel me or anybody else to invite
him to my house to dinner and to
introduce him to my wife, sister or
daughter, there probably will be a
row, that's all. The negro should
have the same rights and privileges Of
study and recreation in West Point as
the white man, but you can't compel
the cadets to put their arms around
him. We have our West Point acad-
envy for making soldiers, and not for

The Presbyterian Theological
Seminary.

AMo EchDy tNEAAA AACT8AS
Seminary.
Courier Journal, oath:
The Presbyterian people of South
Carolina and Georgia, after a struggle
of several years to keep open their
Theological seminary, which formerly
had an endowment of some $25O,00O,
and had and has still a theological Ii
brary of 10000 volumes, were obliged
at last to close the institution by rea-
son Of the loss of a great part ofits en-
dowment during the war and the per-
secutions which followed it. But
with true Christian courage they re-
solved, this autumn, to re endow and
reopen the institution. The synod of
South Carolina resolved to raise $40,
900, Notwithstanding its poverty, and
the synods of Georgia and Alabama
pledged their share of aid also. In
hopes of raising some $4,000 by an
appeal to their brethren in other syn
DDS having no local interest in the
school, DR.. Girardeau was urgently
requested to become their spokesman.
In fulGllment of his mission, he APP
peared before the Second Presbyterian
church of Louisville last Sunday
morning. The result of his eloquent
appeal, seconded by the pastor, was a
contribution of some $500, which
will probably reach $1,000, when mem
bers who were absent on Sunday are
heard from. This is certainly a most
graceful tribute to the perseverance
and courage of their South Carolina
brethren in Nashville, st. Louis and
New Orleans will do as generously.
DIR. Girardeau preached twice in
this city yesterday to large and intel
ligent congregations, and made telling
appeals in behalf of the time honored
institution he represents.
