A RBMARKABLE SPEECH.

Rev. Atticus G. HsygOod, presi,
dent Of Emory College, on the 2nd
inst, delivered remarkable speech
at Montesgle, Tenn, on "Negro Ed
ucatiOn." 1t is undoubtedly one of
the strongest arguments that we have
ever read in favor of the education
of the negro. He argues from the
standpoint Of Christian duty and hu
mainly. He argues that the negro
must be educated because he is
man. He don't think think the ne>
gro has bad the same chance to de-
velOP all bis mental powers by two
thousand years as the white man,
yet be believes in pedigree and
blood, and that the white race has
nothing to fear from the education
of the negro. While he believes in
the greater capacity of the white
race, yet be believes the negro race
should have the best opportunity
Gods providence allows them for
becoming all they are capable Of be-
coming, He thinks man is a COW
ard who denies human being the
opportunity to get an education to
know and learn as much truth as he
can. He says the negro is here
armed with the ballot, and we must
deal with facts. He says according
to the census the negro race is in>
creasing faster than the whites. He
thinks an ignorant voter is tool to
be used by corrupt, designing meD,
which is dangerous to free govern
ment. He believes in the unity of
the brotherhood of man, and that
the prejudice against the negro will
die out. He says there is no such
thing as "social equality" that men
seek their affinities and companions
ship in circles that suits their tastes
and feelings. He says that the edu-
cation of the negro is bound to go on
and that it cannot be stopped. He
argues that the whites should teach
the negro, that it is no more out of
place to teach a negro his letters
than to teach them to cook, to buy
from them, to sell to them, to be
their doctor or lawyer.
Mr.. Haygood has certainly taken
strong, positive and decided grounds
on negro education. In fact he is a
radical extremist, and should at once
resign the presidency of Emory
College and apply for the presidency
of the negro university in Atlanta,
and thereby practice what he preach
es so earnestly.

MISLED.

10 our editorial comment last week
upon Hon. G. E. McGregor's bill to
amend the rates of legal advertising,
we we're misIed by the Atlanta Con-
stitution's report, and therefore were
incorrect as to what Mr.. McGregor's
bill contemplates. A letter from
that gentleman, informs us that his
amendment of the first section of the
present law, will be as follows:
"For each one hundred words the
sum of one dollar for each insertion
for the first four insertions; for each
subsequent insertion the sum of
fifty cents per hundred words. In
all cases fractional parts shall be
charged at same rates"
To this change we have no objec-
ton; on the contrary it meets our
hearty appreciation, and we hope it
will psss.

self out Of the Banks Money
St. Louis Globe Democrat
An interesting story is told of the
way 10 which paying teller Of one
of the city banks, of shrewd and
provident turn of mind, was able to
acquire a competency in short time
and then retire from his position
without the bank having been any
the loser by the operation and with
ont having his own reputation blast
ed. The story is that the bank car
ried a heavy cash balance to meet
such calls as might be made upon it
from day to day, and to draw ups
on 10 case of a run. This was To-
trusted to the paying teller. IN
stead of allowing this sum to remain
10 the banks safe, as was supposed
to be actually the case, the teller
invested largely in 6 per cent bonds
aud early issue Of the government 4
per cents. These we're substituted
for the cash, the investor cutting off
the coupons and getting the money
on them as they became payable.
The prospective calls upon the cash
could be readily estimated, and any
thing beyond that limit was convert
ed into bonds. This state of affairs
went along smoothly for about two
years, the enterprisipg teller enjoy
ipg ell the privileges as to coupons of

Soon after the Oby Owen defalca-
ton became public, the Directors
had sudden spasm of vigilance,
and one day, withou. a moments
warning, they called upon the teller
for bis keys, and we're about to in
s.itute a count of cash. With an as
surance and nerve that struck the
investigating Directorsfairly speech
less, be said: "Gentlemen, you cam
not have the keys will give you
my written resignation, according to
the terms of our contract, but you
shall not have the keys to the safe"
The gentlemen were taken COM
pleteIy By surprise, and knew not
what to say or do. Arrest was
threatened, bot the teller was
obdurate and the directors finally
withdrew to talk the matter over
This gave him his chance, and slip
ping out with the surreptitiously
purchased bonds, he speedily con-
verted them into cash, and the right
amount was deposited in the vaults
By that time the objection to the
surrender of the keys eere removed
and the directors and bondsmen,
who had been thoroughly nonplused
and thoroughly frightened by the
refusal, found their heaped up thou
sands secure and the bank on as
sound financial bedrock as it had
ever been. The fact that the teller
had just disposed of large amount
of bonds, however, led to the dis
covering the way 10 which he had
been using the funds of the bank for
his owe emolument, and the resign
alton went into effect. During the
time and sale of bonds they bsd
largely appreciated in value, so tina,
during the transaction the teller had
cleared between $4,000 and $50,

the poorer from the operation, and
attempts made to compel the en-
ploye to disgorge bis profits were
