Byrnes, of South Carolina, last week knocked out of the interior department appropri ation bill an item of $207,00 0 for Howard University, an educational in stitution for pegroes in the city of Washington. Mr. Byrnes took the position that there was no law authorising con gress to appropriate for an institution lie stated that this was the qnly edu cational institution in v the United States for whi ch the government ap propriated any funds'; that the appro priation was wrong in principle, and specially so because Howard Univer sity conducts a school of religion,, amt that it was unwise for government funds to be used for the maintenance of a theological school. Mr. Byrnes contended that if con gress desired to appropriate money for such an institution legislation should be enacted specifically provid ing the percentage the District of Co lumbia should contribute and also pro viding for the control of the institu tion by a board of trustees selected by the government. The South Carolina member then called attention to a sermon delivered j by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, a negro preacher in Washington, who is a member , of . the board of trustees of Howard University, The federation of white churches in Washington was denounced by Grimke, Mr. Byrnes said* for denying membership' to col ored people, and for the same reason Grimke . denounced the white Y. M. C. A. 'and Y. W. C. A., stating that the existence of such associations is & , standing reproach to the Christianity t.hnt m?v The Colored preacher stated in the quoted sermon that he had little faith in the Chri&? tianity of Woodrow Wilson, and that our civilization cannot becojne per meated with the spirit of Christ as long as Woodrow WilBO# and William Jennings Bryan preach and practice the Christianity they represent. Grimke further stated that it was a burning shame that we are under the dominion of a Christianity that dis criminates against human beings on Account of race. He declared that the acid test of the white Irian's religion was his attitude toward the colored man arid advised the young negroes in theological schools that if they were not willing to go to the scaffold, and not willing tq serve, they would be of little service; that little could be .ex pected in this religious crusade from cowardly people. Congressman Byrnes argued that the fact that such a sermon had been delivered by a member of the board o3H?*steea of Howard- UniverAty was sufficient to justify congress in declin ing., to .give further aMtoan inatitix^ tion where those in authority use their power to afouse hatred against the white people of this country and their churches.

Greenville Piedmont. Someone writing in the Gaffney Ledger about reconstruction times in South Carolina observes: "Had Judge Green and the negr.o Dolaney been elected by democratic voters, in one month South Carolina would have had a negro governor by tho death of Judge Green." That's true. There were two negroes who came within reasonable distance of the gov ernorship of the Palmetto State. ' The first was R. H. Gleaves, of Beaufort, a northern negro, who was elected lieutenant governor on the re publican ticket with Franklin J. Moses in 1872. Tho second was Martin R.-Delaney,* of Charleston. He wafe born in Charfotftown, Va., in 1812. He re ; cpived no college education, -but was a reader" and student. He edited a news ! paper in Pittsburg, was graduated from tho Harvard Medical School and practiced medicine in Canada. He traveled in Europe and explored parts of Africa. He was active in the anti slavery movement, served as surgeon in the union army during thp war be tween the states, rose to the rank of major of infantry, and after the war was connected with the * freedmen's bureau on the South Carolina coast. In that capacity he made a good im pression on the white people. He lived in Charleston, where he practiced medicine. John S. Reynolds in his history of reconstruction in South Carolina said that, he was "a man of unusual intelligence and a very good speaker." Many years ago a biogra phy of him was issued and it is said to be the only, biography of a South Carolina negfo ever published. In 1874 the regular republicans nominated Daniel H. Chamberlain for governor and R. H. .Gleaves for lieu tenant governor. republicans nominated for governor Judge John T. Green, of Sumter, u respected white man, while DeUney was named for lieutenant , governor. The democrats decided not to put .* ticket into the field, but auppoi'ted th^ "Independent" republican ticket, with the "result that not only the better clftss of republicans but also the whole democratic party voted for a white man for governor and a negro for lieutenant governor,' Greenand Dela ney. In the . ensuing election Cham berlain received a majority of 11,585 jQyer Green, but the "Independent" .carried 12 counties, among, them An derson, Greenville, Oconee, Pickens, Spa rtanbyrg, ?nd Union, . The Green ville democratic delegation elected to the house then were: Thomas 0. Fer guson, Stanley S. Crittenden, J. Thom as Austin, Samuel Tinsley. The Greenville delegates to the state dem ocratic convention which unanimously Voted to support the Green and De lancy ticket were T. Q. Donaldson and William Beattic. k Not many weeks later ? January 27, 1875, Judge Green died. If he had been elected, Delaney would have served practically a full* term as governor of South Carolina. Piedmont Honor Roll. First Grade ?
