our older colleges. 'The fact" says Mr..
Frost, 'sthat these schools and colleges
and universities had Christian founders
bears significantly and imperatively upon
another question which is being agltated
just now, viz: What shall be taught and
what class of men shall occupy the posi-
tion of professors in those schools Sure
ly they are not the places for teachers or
teaching that antagonizes the genius and
principles and letter of Christianity. If
such teachers wish to hold and promul-
gate principles at variance with Chris
tianity, verify they have that right; but
surely not in Christian schools, founded
and supported by Christian liberality,
cherished in tears and prayers from Chris
tian hearts," Holding these views of the
duty of the present generation to march
within the lines marked out by the NUM-
fcent founders of such institutions of
learning, Mr.. Frost maintains that

tered By Christian devotion and liberality

Civil Service has some inestimable bless
ings in store for this Nation, however
slowly they may be developing. If at the
end of Mr.. Cleveland's term the govern
ment positions shall be equally divided
between the two contending political par
ties, long step will have been taken to
remove that deteriorating element called
''spoils' from the politics of the country.
After such a division, the sUrictest civil
service may be enforced. But we are
afraid that the folly of Mr.. Dorman B.
Eaton, the President of the Civil Service
Commission, is likely to mar rather than
make success of the system. That any
sane man interested in it's success should
appoint Civil Service Examining Board
in the State of South Carolina composed of
negro postmaster who can't write, his
white deputy, and his colored clerk, to ex-
anime candidates for positionss in the
classified departmental service is such
mockery as to induce the belief that his
real object is to bring civil service into
such disrepute as to break it down. Mr..
Eaton seems to be a theoretical, unpracti
cal crank, capable of doing unlimited
damage.

AN OMNIBUS CHARGE.
The Judge gave the following instruc-
tons to the jury when they were about
to depart they are copied Except
sections and g. verbatim from those
given by the judge in the case of Jeter
Phillips, who was hanged for wife murder
in Richmond:
1. Before the jury can convict the accused
they must be satisfied from the evidence that
he is guilty of the offence charged in the in
dictment beyond reasonable doubt 1t is not
sufficient that they shall believe his guilt
probable only. No degree of probability
| evidence must be of such a character and
i tendency as to produce moral certainty of
| the prisoners guilt to the exclusion of rea-
sonable doubt.
| g. Each fact which is necessary in the
| chain of circumstances to establish the guilt
of the accused must be distinctly proved by
/ competent legal evidence, and if the jury have
reasonable doubt as to any material fact nee
essary to be proved in order 10 support the
| ooF+l 10 al
sion of every other reasonable hypothesis,
they must find him not guilty.
8. If the jury are satisfied from the evil
dence that the accused is guilty of the offence
charged in the Indictment beyond reasonable
doubt, and no rational hypothesis or explana-
ton can be framed or given (upon the whole
evidence in the cause) consistent with the
| innocence of the accused, and at the same
time consistent with the facts proved, they
ought to find him guilty.
| 4. 1t is not essential to proof of guilt by Cir
cumstantial evidence that the facts and Cir
cumstances established should produce on
the minds of the jury absolute and demon
strative certainty; but it is sufficient if tDey
produce moral certainty of the commission OF
the offence charged to the exclusion of reason
able doubt.
5. The law presumesa prisoner to be always
innocent of the charge alleged against hin
until he is proved to be guilty, and the burden
rests upon the Commonwealth to prove thu
guilt of the accused beyond all reasonable
doubt; no mere preponderance of the evidence
will suffice as in the trial of civil case; nor il
it enough that by conjecture or speculation
he may be supposed to be guilty, but the jur..
must be satisfied, by the evidence, that he !
guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
g. If; upon the whole evidence in the case
the jury entertain reasonable doubt as t.
whether the deceased came to her death b,
violence, committed by herself, or by tn
hands of another they must find the prisone
not guilty.

their cause hopeless, he last Sunday sailed
for London to consult them about offering
a ''compromise. If they listen to him, it
will only be more fees out of their pockets;
they ought to be satisfied by this time
that the Riddleberger bill is all they will
get. The weakening, amounting to
treachery, of Blair, the Republican
Attorney General of the State, after the
Supreme Court assault, and the lack of
nerve shown by the Republican press of
Virginia, for an instant deceived few
outsiders about their chances of success,

the cry of compromise is heard. There

The general election in Virginia passed
off last Thursday with but two events of
any political signifcance-the election IN
Norfolk and Winchester. In the former
city the Democrats won remarkable VIC
tory by carrying the city for the first time
IN seven years, and electing their city
Treasurer, W. W. Hunter, by majority

by the colored Republicans there in the

for the victory, and it seems to be the
first response in Virginia to the friendship

Democrats IN the matter of city govern

IN CHRISTLAN NIFTY

The unorthodox teaching of Professors
in Southern religious colleges, such as
Professors Woodrow in the Presbyterian
and Prof. Toy in the Baptist seminaries,
has awakened discussion in that section
which is likely to be productive of, at the
least. more information to the people on
the great question now agitating the or
thodoX Christian churches. The fact that
in each Of the great divisions of the Chris
tian Church, except the Methodist and
Lutheran, have appeared men OF promi-
nent Intellect and piety as advocates of
Christian evolution-such as McCosh, the
Scotch Presbyterian; Gray, the Episco-
palian; Mivart, the Roman Catholic;
Dana, the Congregationallst, and the
Episcopal Bishop of London gives the
discussion greater interest, as it enlists
greater ability. We see that Rev. ]. M.
Frost, Jr., formerly the Baptist pas
tor of Stanton, contributes a paper
to the Alabama Baptist" on the sub.
ject. more devoted, however, to the
right and propriety of such teachings in
Christian colleges founded and supported
by Christians, than to an exposition of
the teachings themselves. To the argu-
ment that the highest civilization the
world has ever known antedated Chris
tianity by some hundreds of Years.

the past appears as an obstacle to

4 REMARKABLE SCHOOL
RECORD,

ment in the annual report of one of the
Stanton Female Colleges-the Augusta
Female Seminary. 1t has two hundred
and twenty-five pupils and in taoenty-three
years only tDo deaths have occurred there.
This is record of health which we sup
pose is unequalled in any section of the
Union, and doubtless has had its effect
in other States; for there is not session
in which the school we have named does
not have to reject applications for the ed

STEP BY STEP.

May and June should be sacred months
in the American calendar, for it IS in them
that we may take note how far the reun-
ions of once separated Americans Las
progressed. 1t Is in those months that
we can take note of the localities in which
the sweet roses of brotherIy love bloom,
and of those where hatred and prejudice
still make an arid desert. Now there are
two months, soon there will be but one.
Indeed, already the celebrants, if not the
days are mingling. Last Saturday was
National Decoration day and one could
see the mingling of the Red Roses and the
White, all through the Southern States
At Richmond the ex-Confederates escorted
the Grand Army Post to the cemetery;
at Winchester the Light Infantry march
ed to the cemetery and fired the memorial
volley, the City Attorney delivered the
address, and many ladies carried flowers
tor the graves at Jacksonville, Fla. all
the military companies turned out and es-
corted the Grand Army Post to the Gene
terry, and the graves were decorated by
thirty eight little girls representing the
States of the Union. But the most no.
t1ceable event of Saturday was the address
of General Mcclellan at the Cemetery OF
Antietam, where it will be remembered
he defeated the Confederates under Gen.
eral Lee. Here is an extract from it:
II am glad that have been permitted
to live until the fame and exploits Of
those magnanimous rivals, until the abili-
ty and virtue of Robert E. Lee, and the
achievements of the Army of Northern
Virginia, as we'll as the heroism and re-
nown of the grand Army of the Potomac,
have already become part of common
heritage of glory of all our people. Would
l could meet here to-day the living pres
ence of that splendid man and soldier.
Robert E. Lee, in this very field, where,
in all honor and earnestness, we strove as
enemies, and even take him by the hand,
as in the long past days when we served
together in the land of the Montezumas.
I know that his nature bore no malice,
and that he would be the first to respond
to the greeting and unite with US in paying
to the gallant dead of the Army of the
Potomac the same tribute offer to the
Army of N orthern Virginia."
Gen. Mcclellan 8 sentiments will find an
echo throughout the country. 1t is indeed
a great privilege to those who lived in
1866 to be still alive in 1885 and mark how
the sentiment Of the country has changed,
aud to have watched its change step by
step. Others who come after will have
to turn the pages of history to learn it, to
us is given the boon of witnessing it and
the greater boon of aiding it. How in
finitesimally small does the man appear
at this day who, while whole nation is
walking with tender hearts back and
forth scattering flowers on the graves of
those they loved. is strlding about and
railing over treason and rebellion on the
one hand, or oppression and subsection on
the other. Or, worse yet, who basely
takes advantage of the prominence given
him by such sacred occasions to pour
vinegar instead of Oil into the Nations
