Senator Vest and the Governor
shin.


From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 30.--My at
tention has been called to para
graph in the Globe-Democrat of this
date, in which it is made to appear
that 1 have received a letter from
Senator Vest expressing the de-
sire that his other friends in the
city should support Mayor Francis
for gubernatorial nomination. y
This statement is utterly without
foundation. I have received no
such letter, nor any other that
could be construed into any such
meaning, and / am sure that Sena.
tor Vest has not written any letter
of the kind to anyone. / have the
very best of reasons for knowing
that Senator Vest is not taking part
in the campaign for governor either
for or against Judge Norton OF
anyone else, and the theory that
he is, which your reporter has
discovered, is as baseless as the
fabrication about the letter which
/ never received. Respectfully
yours, R. d. LANCASTER.

this was done he held them for nearly four
hours waiting for the other stage going

recognize him or the color of his
horse, but Mr.. Ellis, the stage
driver who also drove one of the stages
that were robbed last fall, says that Judging
from the stature, pistol and voice he feels
confident that he is the same man. The
robber took money only. One Of the pas
sengers saved $50 by secreting it in his
mouth, where he had to hold it for f ur
hours. The Sheriff and three rangers left
Ballinger this morning TO see if it is possible
to accomplish any thing by pursuing the
robbers tracks, which, on account of the
abundance of recent rains in this section
and the muddy condition of the soil, ought
to be very distinct and easy to follow.

Close OF the Convention-To Meet at

Columbus Next Year.
ATHENS, GA, May A. The colored
teachers convention closed to-day. This
morning at 9 o'clock President Walker
called the meeting to order and the follow

proved very entertaining: Solo by Rosa
Lawson; historical sketches by G. A Good

William Davis, of Athens, made motion
that some prominent teacher from a dis

the next convention. It was freely discussed
pro and con, and was at last laid on the
table
A committee consisting of ten members
of the convention was appointed to wait
upon the Georgia Legislature at the next
session and endeavor to obtain for the
Atlanta University the $1,000 annual APP
preparation by the State, but which had
been refused the university this year on
account of its ignoring the law and insist
ing upon the co-education of the races.
The finance and other committees made
reports, and resolutions thanking the colored
citizens of Athens for their hospitable re-

THE ANDERSON SECEDERS WON'T
HAVE THE NEGRO AT ALL.

They Refuse to Recognize the
Constitutionality of the Convention
The Negroes Take the Attitude
of no Taxation Without Represen-
tation.
CHARLESTON, S. c.. May 4.-The seced-
ing delegates of the late Anderson conven-
ton have returned They are rather reti
cent and not disposed to talk. They say a
meeting will be held shortly and a state
ment prepared for publication. One of the
delegates was induced to talk to-day, how
ever. Asked why the seceders refused to
accept Dr. Porters compromise, which
looked to a separation eff the two races in
the church, he replied that they were not
disposed to accept any terms whatever, that
they did not recognize the constitutionalty
of the convention, and that besides the
commission elected under DR. Porter's reSo-
luton is composed of seven members who
were entirely in sympathy with the
Bishop on the question which now divided
the diocese. ''We think" he said, "that
we can get along in the Episcopal church
without the negro, and we do not propose
to admit him into our legislative councils
A vestryman of ST. Marks was next in
terviewed. Nothing will be done until
the meeting of the vestry on Monday
night" he said, 'at which meeting Dr.
Porter will be present, it is presumed aud
will explain why he offered these resolu-
tions. The white people Of South Carolina
in 1876 taught us a very good lesson,
viz: That taxation without representation
was thing that no people would submit
to. We take that stand. If we are to be
long TO the Episcopal church we must have
representation in its councils"
The situation, altogether, looks squally.
As things look now the negro will probably
have to go, or the church he split in twain.
The seceders absolutely refuse to make any
compromise whatever. St. Paul's and st.
Michaels churches are unanimously for the
seceders. st. Philips is divided, the rector
being with the Bishop and the laity with the
seceders. st. Luke's is ditto and Grace
ditto.
The Church of the Holy Communion is
the only city church that is unanimously
with the Bishop. and there has already been
a secession from this church
