EDUCATION OF NEGROES.
Many of the Race Are Entering the
Professions

New York, Jan 31.-The field secretary
in the south of the American Missionary
association, Rev George W. Moore of
Nashville, has made protracted and de-
tailed investigation concerning the negro
in professional life. He reports that in
1866 there were 1879 students in pro-
fessional courses in colored schools, and
of these 126 were women.
There We're 7OS students and seventy
six graduates in theology, 14 students
and twenty-four graduates in law, S6
students and thirty graduates in medi-
cine, and six graduates in pharmacy. and
training. There were twenty-five schools
of theology, five schools of law and six
schools of medicine In addition to these
schools which have been established for
of the leading colleges and universities OF
the north, east and west are open to him.
The law department of Howard uni
Versity is the largest and best school in
the south open TO cOlored men. Quite n
number OF colored men have graduated
from the law schools of Yale. Harvard.
Boston university and the university Of
Michigan.
There are about 400 coIored lawyers in
this country. They practice in all
courts.
About 1000 seminary trained men and
1000 more classed as educated are in the
ministry.
The majority of Congregational. Episco-
pal and Presbyterian ministers are edu-
Gated men. but they form only a small
wing of the. army OF colored ministers;
There are also many intelligent colored
MethOdists and Baptist ministers.
The bishops of the African Methodist

RIDEoUTs BARBER BILL.
1t Was introduced Yesterday In the
Senate-A Short Session.

1t Was introduced Yesterday In the
Senate-A Short Session.
Tonsorial artists of none but the most
expert brand are to be permitted to
ply their trade in Utah henceforth, if a
bill introduced in the senate yesterday
by Senator Rideout passes both
branches of the legislature All bar
bers will in the future be compelled to
pass an examination as to their COM
potency to shave customers without
slaShlnS their jugulars or amputatin=
a nose or ear in the process, and they
must also show that they are onto all
the kinks and curves of antiseDtic
treatment of the utensils of their trade.
The bill is faulty in but one particu-
lar, that it does not forbid the use of
Saw-edge raZors and shears that have
been used in clipping hedges.
BY the provisions of the bill, senate
bill No. 10, an examining board of three
members consisting of two BARRIERS and
a physician, is to be appointed. Their
duties Will be to hold quarterly exam
nations of all persons desiring a Ii
cense as barber; the examination to
include an inquiry into the capabilities
of each applicant in the several de-
partments of his trade. and more par
tlcuiarly his knowledge of the antisep-
tic treatment of raZOrs, shears, exc. The
OBJECT OF the examination, as stated in
the Dill, is to prevent the spread of dis
cases of the skin and scalp through
barber shops. All BARRIERS are compelled
10 pay 80 for examination and 81 for
license, and any one who fails TO COM
ply with the provisions of the act is
liable TO a fire of So to $50, or impris-
onment for not more than twenty days.
CONSIDERING BILLS.
Senate bill No. Is, defining the judi
cial districts of the state, was returned
from the judiciary committee with a
recommendation that it be passed. The
committees report was adopted, the
Dill read the second time and fled
Senate bill No. 3, permitting service
OF summonses from justices courts in
counties outside the jurisdiction Of the
court, was read the third time, and
some discussion of it ensued. Senator
Alder opposed its immediate passage. |
as he was not fully decided as to its !
provisions. The bill went over for one |
day.
The question of the constitutionality
of senate bill No. II, defining property |
exempt from taxation, also caused some /
little discussion. Senator Evans said. in |
its defense. that the committee on ju- I
dietary had considered the cOnstitu- /
of the bill in recommending /
ITS passage. The measure exempts from ]
taxation reservoirs used for. irriga tion
purposes, and he said an amendment to |
the constitution would have to be sub
lnitted 20 the people ultimately, but as
there would be no state election for two
years the measure proposed would an
swer the purpose for the present time. /
The bill was read the second time and
then placed on file.
The senate then adjourned until 1880

A Transcontinental Road.

A special to the Denver Times says:
Washington, Jan. S0.-The Nicaragua
canal bill will be antagonized in the
house by a bill authorizing the con-
structiOn of a through transcOntinen-
tai railway across the center of the
United States from New York TO San
Francisco. The proposition is to build
a double track line, and il is claimed
that it can be made 600 miles shorter
than any existing road. The proposition
is of direct interest to Colorado, as if
the road should be built it would I'M
dOubtedly pass through that state.
Mr.. William Dallin, vice president
and general manager of the Atlantic &
Pacific Railway company, has written
to a number of merchants urging the
new project. a part of which follows:
Nothing less than the building of TIE
line will answed the demands of the
American people when the question is
brought squarely before them. The
rapid increase Of business throughout
the United States makes the road an
absolute necessity, and il should now
be constructed and controlled by the
government for the people, bringing
San Francisco within two days journey
OF New \ ork. and London within eight
days journey of san Francisco. the
Sandwich islands within ten days Of
New York, and the Philippines twenty
four days.
THE road as projected is scientific
and practical in all its details, and
when built Will solve many of the rail-
road difficulties in the United States
and evolve the most perfect railway
system of modern times, and greater
advantages will come to the public
than through any other enterprise. As
it will be the direct route to Europe
and Asia, over its rails will pass the
tide of travel in the near future-the
commerce of nations. The building CT
this line is inevitable
