four new States to the Union-North and
South Dakota, Montana and Washington
by these names. By the law then passed
the people of the four Territories are TO
elect delegates to constitutional conventions
on the 7th Of May. The conventions are to
meet On the 4th of July, with authority 10
form constitutions and State governments,
and if the work Of the conventions is rati-
fed By the people at an election to be held
in October, then it is made the duty of the
President to ADMIT the four States by proc

South Dakota is to have two Representa-
tives in Congress and each of the others
one until the next appoltionment. It is
confidently expected that all five Represen-
tatives and the eight Senators will be re-
publicaDs, which will be an important rein
forcement of the republican strength in
both houses next December.

the Dispatch, under date of Feb. GOTH
says
"Joseph Staples, well-known either
of Botetoult county, arrived 10 the city sever

An astronomical authority says of the
system of photographipg the sky as it re
veals new wonders; STREAMS of suns,
strung like pebbles in the bed of creek,
are seen involved in streaks and masses OF
nebulous matter of perfectly enormous ex
tent In one place in the group of the
Pleiades, which at this season adorns the
evening sky, there is seen. in the photo
graphs taken ct the Paris observatory, a
nebula in the form of a long, straight, mar
low streak, upon which six or seven stars
are set like diamonds on silver bar. AS
Stunning that the parallax of this object is
half second of an arc, which is the larg-
eat possible value that could be given to it. it
has been shown that the length of that
strange nebulous pathway, leading from sun
to srp, cannot b- less than five hundred

MURDER IN GREENsvILLE CouNTY.-O On
Thursday night last in Greensville county,
Richard Williams (colored) killed with an
axe, Emerson Mason (colored) who was
sleeping in the store of Rev. Ephraim
Ryals (colored) in whose employ he was.
Mason was killed and the store robbed.
Williams sometimes slept with Mason in
the store.
TIE deed is said to be prompted by jsai-
ousy on the part of Williams towards
Mason, caused by Mason holding position
in the employment cf Rev. Ephriam Ryals,
which Williams, by reason Of near kin to
Ryals's wife, desired to hold, and which
he thought should be given to him.
Great indignation is expressed towards
the murderer by the colored people.

The people who live north of the Poto-
mac and west of the Ohio, are daily Illus
trating the fact that it is much easier to
instruct by precept than by practice. On
ly few days ago we had occasion to CON-
ment on the conduct of white operatives in
tobacco factory located in Indiana, not
only in refusing to work in the same build
ing with number of colored people, but
engaged in ma'treating and driving them
from their employment. Now, we have an
other exemplifcation of the fsclity with
which these modern P harisees, while
preaching civil and social equ lily to the
South with all the JUNCTION of an Aminadab
Sleek. roll up their eyes in pious horror at
the medicine when commended even to
their children. This time it comes from
Ohio, the State that owns and acknowledges
John Sherman and Foraker. In the laws
of that commonwealth, mixed schools are
provided for. In the cities, means are pro
vided for keeping the races apart from each
other, Jut in the country it has been attend
ed With difficulties. A solution of the DIFF
ficulty has, b ,wever, been arrived at, by
practically driving the negroes from the ru-
raj districts, as the white people refuse To
sell, ieese or even rent them land on which
to live, SO that as there will be no negro
children, then Can of course he no mixed
schools. Such is the emanation of these
pseudo Northern saints. and it is eminently
worthy or the attention of the negro race
in the South, who, notwithstanding such
cavalier treatment, invariably vote with the
people who are represented by such men as

The race trouble in Marion, Illinois, the
state of Lincoln and Logan, of Oglesby and
Cannon, really calls for the immediate and
close attention of Chandler, Reed and the
gay and valiant Colonel Shepard. From
the reports received from there it appears
that firm of tobacco packers imported a
number of colored men to work in the fac.
tory, which SO enraged the white workmen
that they sent word to the colored men to
leave town within ten days or run the risk
of severe punishment. The colored men
paid no attention to these threats, and a
few nights ago a number of white men
went to the house of colored 'sboss' and
fred five shots into the dwelling. The man
got revolver aud returned the fire, but
nobody was hurt. The report states that
further trouble is apprehended, as the fac.
tory owners declare that they will not dis
charge the colored men.
If this had happened in South Carolina,
Florida or Louisiana, the virtuous soul of
Billy Chandler would at once have risen in
arms, and, with an appalling string OF
whereases and resolves, he would have
called for congressional investigation. II
harrows one to imagine the effect which
this occurrence in a southern state would
have had upon Colonel Shepard, and the
crushing south anathematizing editorials
which the columns of the Mail and Erpress
would have belched forth. Yet, when col.
ored men are fred upon by white ruffians
in the republican state of Illinois just be
cause they come in lawful and orderly
manner to earn their livelihood in Lawful
and orderly way, not word is heard, not q
whisper, from these vociferous champions
of the colored mans right to life. liberty
and the pursuit of bread and butter!-

FEBRUARY 10, 1889.
The first half session opens with 421 stu
dents, gain of 81 over the corresponding
date of 1887-'S8. Of these 221 are in the
academical department., 81 in engineering,
101 in medicine, 121 in law, all Of the de-
partments being fuller than in any previous
session for many years. There are 237
Virginians as against 2l7 of last session,
and 1874 from other States as against 149 of
that year.
The large increase Ia the attendance on
the medical department which has taken
place in recent sessions has brought it up
to the full limits of its present quarters. AS
still further growth seemed probable, the
Visitors at their recent meeting passed an
orde- which provides for a larger lecture
room Capable of about $50 students) for
the School of Physiology and for doubling
the size and present anatomical laboratory.
In the academical department the teach.
ing force has been increased by establishing
an adjunct professorship of general history
in the School of Historical Science and an
assistant prOfessorship in the School of BIZ
olOgy has an attendance of fourteen stu
dents. The laboratory accommodations
provided for it have been found very con-
venient and suitable, and will suffice until
the numbers in the school reach ab,dt thrice
the present attendance. For the next ses-
sion change in the lecture scheme will be
made. which will permit students of medl-
cine also to attend the lectures on general
biology, and obtain thus valuable enlarge
ment of their professional training.
The new course in physical culture estab-
lished this session has been attended by
about eighty students, and large number
besides have gone in for some form of out
door athletic exercise. The opening of this
course caused great increase of interest in
general college athletics, and foot ball,
base ball, tennis. and track athletics all
have their respective devotees, not to speak
of rowing, which will be taken up in the
