Meeting OF the Resents-None but Routine
Business An Exhibition by the Pupils.
Special to the Register.
Romney, W. Va, June 12.-The
Board Of Regents of the schools for
the deaf and blind was in session here
to-day, and after transacting the or
binary business of a routine nature,
they adjourned, re-electing all the Off
GERS and teachers. Nothing of unusual
interest occurred. and the institution
was pronounced to be in excellent con-
di,iOn.
The annual concert in honor OF the
Board was given in the evening, con-
sisting of elegant selections in music
by Prof. McGee's fine orchestra and
choir. interspersed with very attractive
Rotations in signs by the deaf pupils.
The largest and most appreciative au-
dience tha. ever assembled here for
such a purpose was present and gave
the closest attention to the perform
ances. The Board expressed them
selves highly satisfied with the profile
iency shown by the pupils. DR.. Nc
Chung, of Greenbrier county, and Mr..
Brockunier, of Wheeling. were the only
members not present
Notably among the audience were two
former pupils of the blind department
Of the school, both Of whom are now
actively at work, making independent
livings. the one, Mr. Michael Burke, OF
ROdamer.s. Preston county, running
little retail store Of general merchan-
disc and enjoying a good trade. the
other. Mr.. Mane,h Humphrey, of Grant
county. teaching music, selling and
tuning instruments and the like. 1t is
an inspiration 10 all our pupils to see
these worthy young men coming back
to see their old home and encourage by
their presence those who are still in
school and renewing old acquaintance.
The pupils Of Mr.. Johnson's class that
are now uSefu,ly at work may now be
counted by the dozen. A proud testi-
mOnial.

principles Cfcr which the writer claims
no originality:
We hold that ours is a free govern
ment
That no free government can be pre-
served without justice and modera-
ti0n.
That the mind Of man is created free.
That religion can be directed only by
reason ard conviction.
That all men have a natural and
equal right. o. which no government.
party CT people can. without injustice.
deprive them, to the free exercise of
their religious beliefs and opinions, ac-
coTding to the dictates Of conscience.
That all efforts, either directly or in
directly, by persons or parties to pro-
scribe any citizen, or in any way eff
feet diminish or enlarge his civil ca
paclties, or hinder or assist him in his
aspirations for the honOrs or emolu-
ments of public Office, on account of
his religious opinions or beliefs, are
subyersiye Of the principles of our gov
eminent and msnaciIg to the safety
OF our Institutions
Is any man or party so narrow as to
be invisible upon Such a platform?
Can any one point out a single reason
that can be advanced against it? Where
would the 6igoted and intolerant be to-
day were it not for the encouragement
received from political parties in eX-
change for promised votes? Were the
fathers and founders of our country
so cOWardly and purchasable as to de-
cline to denounce religious proscrip-
tiOn in our organic law, hundred
years ago, where would now be our
boasted land of freedom? Are we less
patriotic than they? Are we less
brave? Can the great body Of our
freemen. when in convention assem-
bled be silenced by a bride of votes
when our liberties are at stake?
What answer will the press make?
What answer will the great political
conventions soon to be held make?
