The report sent out 10y two or three
malicious lars on the Negro press TO
the effect that John Mitchell of the
Richmond PLAN T is heavily involved
in debt is an uutru n OF the first rank.
John Mitchell has made an improve
ment on his paper; he has changed il
from an eight column to nine coll
umn folio, SO we judge from this that
the paper is meeting with more sue
cess now than it did before it began it's
war on Negro frauds. Mitchell is all
right our wish that the reator " i'll
allow him to live one-hundred years
God knows we appreciate the COM
pliment. Our able contemporary has
stated the whole truth. We feel en-
couraged by such manifestation of
friendship.

THE "organ of the Baptists" must
have skipped that portion of TIE Scrip
lures to be found in Matthew, fifth
chapter, from the 39th to the 18th
verses.
Instead of obeying the biblical in
functions, which it teaches, it an
nounces that it will bear no more and
infers that it will fight. And this is
the religious organ that proceeds to
claim that it is acting in accordance
with the Scriptures. Hypocracy, thy
name is Brownies Mouthpiece."

BROTHER Brownies MourHPIEoE had
a bad attack of the gripes last week
and in its agony proceeds to admins
ter to us lecture.
It proceeds to explain about Brother
Brownies money, which it borrowed,
but says nothing about why it has been
fighting those who oppose Brother
BROWNIES.

REV. w. w. BROWNE has shown rare

VIRGINIA BAPTIST SEMINARY.
What Should We Do2-Plain Proposition
and Vital Questions.

The colOred Baptists of Virginia said
to be in number over 200, 900, with
l ,23i churches, have a Seminary in
Lynchburg, Va Said Seminary is said
TO nave a floating de0J OF 81. UUJ ana a
mortgaged debt of $40 00C, aggregat-
ing $4,000 There is a proposition for
said colored Baptists to raise as soon as
possible, and put it into a bank the
sum of $4,000 Tor the purpose of found
ing, erecting and maintaining Univer-
sity fox the maintenance of Christian
learning among, and for said Baptists
have no objection to our having a
University, and to any one that
bosses to be "A variety hoy, or being
an adept in variety yell" but l can
not see the wisdom OF taking upon our =
selves the burden OF raising SIS 900
while an Indebtedness of $I4, 900 is up
on us think we ought to cancel the
Indebtedness on the Seminary, procure
its completion and main tenance before
we attempt anything else however
laudatle.
Another proposition is, that if the
said Baptists, will forthwith raise the
SIS, 900. party will cancel the indebt-
edness on the Seminary ms "A loan, tax
ing mortgage thereon, with sufficient
time to pay back. What gain, what
relief from a financial embarrassment,
there is on such, / cannot see 1t will
be only change OF creditors, while the
financial burden will be increased from
$4,000 Co sos, 900 The $40 600 TO be
raised for the University, and $14 900
TO be paid on the Seminary, If count
right, certainly is $29,000

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

| cannot see any reason why the in
debtedness on the Seminary cannot be
easily cancelled, if proper steps are
taken. Let all jealousy, envy and Of
fice-seeking be laid aside. put good
brother in the field who is not ashamed
to beg individually. who can be ap-
preached, and willing to approach the
