MOTION TO EECOMMIT.

George NJ. Arnold-a lively colored ora
tor-suggesied a recommittal, in order that
the debt plank might be reconsidered and
the objections presented met.
Mr. Sloan, OF Mecklenburg, thought that
the debt could not be paid according to
contract without the increase Of taxation on
the stealing Of school FUNDS. lie thought
the Convention had Just a, well meet this
view squarely.
In the course Of further remarks Mr..
Sloan admitted that he was in favor OF co.
alition "agaiust the common enemy, but
not against The bondholders." lie seemed
TO be IN favor Of raising taxes TO pay the
debt; certainly he preferred lbat course to
ire, passing upon The school fund.
Tue SCHOOL FUND.
Mfr. Dezendorf said it would be impcsSl-
bic, according to the laws Of Virginia, for
the school fund to be "stoen in The future
rs in the past"
Mr.. Ross Hamilton wished Mr.. Deem
dorf to tell him what law there was now to
prevent coupons coming into The Treasury
TO the exclusion OF currency when and
how was the change madeS
Mr.. Dezendori went on to explain his
financial views. lie wished to have Repub-
lican Candidates for the Legislature in every
county where the Republicans are In the
majority, and have them elected TO look
after all those questions In which the col
ored people are particularly interested. Mr..
Dezendorf said that the proposed platform
would not require an increase Of taxation ;
nor would il necessitate an impairment OF
the school fund.
Hamilton's motion 10 strike out the clause
assuming payment Of the whole debt (less
one third for West Virginia., according 70

ROSS BOMB.

Ross Hamilton moved 10 amend that
clause which pledges payment Of every dol
lar Of The just debt. He would pay all We
are morally bound to pay, and no people
are bound 10 pay what they can't raise. To
pay all this debt, YOU must either raise
taxes or dcpredate upon the school fund.
Voices, " That's sol He was anxious to
assume no more than We can surely pay,
and he would not consent TO have the school
fund invaded, even Tor the benefit Of tie
creditors. II was not possible with present
revenues to pay per cent; nor do the
creditors demand il. They would be viii
ling to take ess-3 per cent, be thought.
Chairman Wilson undertook TO explain
that the platform did not contemplate any
invasion OF the school fund.
Hamilton sill Insisted that the platform
imperilled the school fund, and he pro-
posed that it should be 20 amended as 20 be
sure they did not assume more than we can
bear under present revenues. He thought
the creditors would be satisfied with per

How tho average Funeral Sermon Treats
the Causes OF Decay and Death.
For the ISTEILIGENCEH.
Earth to earth and dust to dust - and
when i: is our turn to be committed to
mother earth, may the average parSon not
be there to tell his hearers, that but for
the disobedience OF Eve and Adam death
would not have entered this world, and
have all to reflect upon the deadly nature
Of the sin Of that diSobediencc which put
period to the physical life in time for
man, and beast, and blade of grass.
The parson sticks close to inherited
traditions and refuses to look into the
book of nature for fear of seeing .here
refutation of his cherished views He
calls ks theology orthodox, and denounccS
rs atheistical every other revelation than
his reading Of the Bible. He closes his
eyes to the evidences that man was the
contemporary o: the mammoth and
the reindeer in Middle Europe :;
that he showed his domineering dis
position by making implements to kill
his contemporaries, or when taken ut u
disadvantage was killed by them that he
was essentially mortal, and that he be
! lieved in a future life.
AS i consequence Of this reiterated
teaching, tens of thousands of devout
souls are confirmed in the belief that but
for the temptation and fall, Adam would
yet have 4 terrestrial home with millions
Of descendants who might visit this hoary
sire. ID.
