RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 9.-Secretary
Noble has insisted that the money appro-
priatcd under an act passed at the pres
cnt session of Congress for the support
OF agricultural and mechanical colleges
should be divided equally between the
white and colored institutions.
Gov. Mckinney took issue with him
on this point, and hold that this money
should be distributed in accordance with
the school laws of this State. Gov.
Northen, of Georgia, took the same po-
slton, and sent this letter to Gov. Nc
Kinney on January 81:

mean equal division of the money betwcci
the colored normal school at Hampton
and the Blacksburg College. AS is the
case in Georgia, the Virginia school law
gives the whites two-thirds aud the col

and Gov. Mckinney went so far as to give
Mr.. Noble to understand that upon no
other condition would he accept
