Ny predecessor wisely said, in his mes
sage to the Both General Assembly
There was formerly a statute which
provided that in all criminal cases there
should be lien on all the property of the
defendant for the payment of costs and
fine which might be adjudged against him
and which lien should date from the day
of the arrest of defendant, or from the
date of the indictment found, whichever
might first happen. l advise a similar
provision to be adopted. Criminals sen.
fenced to the penitentiary are sometimes
kept in the jails many days after the judg-
ment and sentence has been rendered, and
when no appeal or writ of error is pending.
This entails additional expense to the State;
fer the cost of feeding a convict in the pen
itentiary is about ten cents per day, whilst
in the jails il is fifty cents per day. This
unnecessary delay in sending convicts to
the penitentiary should be remedied."

ditions, and pledged the faith of the State
to the faithful performance Of the trust
therein created. Among these conditions
was the following: 'Second-No portion
of said fund, nor the interest thereon, shall
be applied, directly or indirectly, under
any pretense whatever, in making improve
ments in the purchase, erection, preserva-
ton or repair of any building or build
ings."
The States we're required and agreed to Do
this, and as Missouri has never appropriate
ed any amount for this purpose, or fur
nished any labor for these improvements,
/ commend to you q careful consideration
of the recommendations that shall be made
to your honorable bodies by the Board of
Curators upon this subject.
NUMBER OF THE BOARD OF CURAToRs.
Prior to the adoption of the Constitution
OF 1875, under laws that then existed, the
number of the Board of CuratOrs had in
creased To twenty-three or twenty-four
members, making the body both expensive
and unwieldy. In an effort to remedy this
difficulty, the Convention went to the other
extreme, and reduced the number to nine
(9). making the Board too small, with the
important duties and responsibilities at
taching to the Office. II is recommended,
therefore, that an amendment be proposed
to the Constitution, to be submitted to .
vote of the people, increasing the number
of the Board to fifteen, in order that the
responsibility be further divided and the
different parts of the State be moro fully
represented in said body.

A PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND
In this connection it is proper to call
your attention to the State providing q
permanent endowment fund for the Uni
versity. III this were adequately done,
and the fund pro6tably and safely invest
ed, the annual interest thereon could stand
in lieu of the appropriations now asked
for at each meeting of the General As
sembly. This policy wonld not increase
the expenses of the State, whilst it would
secure certainty and uniformity OF income
upon which the authorities OF the Uni
versity could always rely, and At the same
time relieve the General Assembly of the
contests which usually attend the passage
of laws making the appropriations. When
il is remembered that no part of the per-
manent fund belonging to the University
has been granted by the State, bGehas been
derived wholly from local subscriptions
and other sources, the justice and proprietv
of the demand for permanent endow-
ment will be readily recognized.
It has not been unusual Tor other States
much younger, less populous and posses
sing far less wealth than Missouri thus to

Questions Not Answered.

The Valley Virgi1aian wanders from the
questions at issue between us. 1t does not
deign to tell us, what we asked it last week,
how man who does ''not believe that the
colored people are prepared to manage sue
cessfully the colored schools under a sepa-
rate and distinct organization" can justify
Governor Cameron's appointment of two
negroes to manage one of the largest and
best high schools, and dozen of the best
grammar schools, in the State.
Nor does it explain how it can be right
to appoint two negroes upon the School
Board of it would be wrong, as we under
stand that paper to concede, to appoint
majority of negroes upon that Board? Is
it because a majority of the pupils and peo-
pie of Richmond are white2 Then, will
the Virginian admit that it would approve
of the appointment of a majority of ne
groes upon the Richmond School Board if
a majority of the people and pupils of
Richmond were negroes? Does it, in
word, hold that because negroes are civilly
and politically the equals of the whites be-
fore the law, therefore they are entitled to
equal representation with the whites upon
the school board of every county in the
Commonwealth If the negroes are enti-
tied to claim to have any of the trustees of
Iuo pllullC VI GuC OOdbe, buOy bIc
entitled to claim to have a number proper
toned to the number Of negro pupils. Nay,
more: According to the teachings of the
Virginian-that is, if carried into prac-
tice-it would no more be wrong to put a
majority of negroes upon the school board
of each county.
Now, these are questions which the Goa
litionists cannot answer satisfactorily to
themselves hecauSn thew cannot answer
them without damaging their cause in the
estimation either of the whites or the
blacks. But the Democrats have no such
difficulty. They have no hesitation in de-
claring that though they will never consent
to allow the negroes to manage white
schools and elect and dismiss white teach
ers, they will grant to the negroes privi
lege like to that which they demand for
themselves-the privilege, namely, of man
aging negro schools and electing negro
teachers s-Richmond Dispatch.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1883-09-18

COMPLIMENTARY TO THE NEGRo.-The
Valley Varginian, replying to the Dispatch
commits itself as follows
"While the object of the resolution
adopted by the Lynchburg Convention was
evidently to deceive the colored people by
fattering them with a deceptive PROPOSE
ton to surrender to them the exclusive con-
troll of their own school, the practical en-
forcement OF the policy involved in that
resolve would be to initiate against their
efficiency and tend to their final dissolu-
tion."
Why? Because the negroes are unfit to
manage even schools for their own race
The Vrganidn will not say that to have
white trustees to manage white schools
would be "to initiate against their efficien-
cy and tend to their final dissolution. But
it does say that to have negro trustees to
manage negro schools would have that eff
feet? Why? Because the negroes are
unfit to manage even their own schools.
And yet the same paper justifes Cameron,
Farr, and Blair's act of appointing two ne
groes to manage the public schools of Rich
mond.
Again The TiTyinian says:
'"The hope was doubtless entertained
when the Lynchburg Convention accepted
racy that it would accomplish two objects :
First, draw to the support of the Bourbons
portion of the colored vote and second.
| by the operation of the policy it suggests
destroy the colored schools
| The resolution of the Lynchburg Conven-
ton suggests, says our contemporary, poll
| cy which would by its operation "deStroy the
| colored schools. How? The resolution
demands separate schools for the two races,
and also white teachers for white schools
and negro teachers for negro schools. The
| Virginian seconds those demands. What
else does the resolution demand? Why,
negro trustees for negro schools" Moth
| ing else. Read the resolution once more,
and you will see that there is absolutely
nothing else in it. We quote it once more
s'We oppose the mixing of the white and
colored races in the public schools, and the
placing of colored trustees and teachers
over white children, and are in favor of
preserving the school organizations for the
two races as separate and distinct as posi-
BILE, giving to the colored people for their
schools all the preferences and privileges
which we demand for the white, including
colored trustees and teachers, and making
no discrimination in the distribution of
school funds on account of color and we
pledgo the DeinoCrdtlC party 10 foopI dill
necessary legislation to perfect this plan as
best for all concerned"
The reader will at once see that in the
above resolution there is no proposition
laid down which the Valley Virginian does
not approve, except the proposition to ap-
point negro trustees for negro schools.
This, therefore, is necessarily what the
Vrginian means-namely that to put the
negro schools under the control of negroes
''would destroy them" And yet almost
every negro in Staunton will vote the Coali
tion ticket this fall. Why? Because Cam
eron, Farr, and Blair have led them to be-
lieve that they are to be allowed to take
part in managing white schools.-Rich-
mond Dispatch.

The Negro Question.

Unfortunate for Virginia the question
alarming proportions. 1t is not now, and
never was the wish of the best people OF
Virginia to draw strictly the color line to
the detriment of the negro. Content tc
allow the negro all the privileges accorded
him by the amendments of the Constitu-
ton and glad always to see him improving
both in morale and intellect, this far only
could the white men of Virginia or the
South consistently go. The white party OF
Virginia have had forced upon them by
the Coalitionist, the color line, the strength
of that party lies in the vote of the negro,
and he, naturally demands some reward fol-
his white ally to give him as the spoils, the
places of trust in the gift of the party. For
this reason Gov. Cameron outraged the
best instincts of the people of Virginia
when he for political reasons placed negro
school trustees over the white schools OF
the city of Richmond. Now the question ol
greatest moment to the white men of Vir-
ginia is, how far this will go? Can we moi
take the past actions and utterances of the
party as Indicative of their future course
Dungee, a negro delegate in the last House
an avOwed Readjuster, offered bill to dc
away with the law against mixed marri
ages. Below we give the exact words of 9
colored Readjuster orator in the city oI
Richmond.
"RaceS haring the same religion ana
speaking the same tongue could not be kep
separate Constant contact aUould breah
aown all barriers, and complete assimila
tion acould be the final result. 1t aoGs onl,
a question Of time before all this 'cou1d comt
to pass"
And then the action of Gov. Cameron
referred to the above. All this goes tC
prove what the intention of the Coalition
party is.-AUeghany Sentinel.
