              <text>The House, in Committee of the Whole, on Monday, appropriated $2,000 per annum for the Herman College at Clinton, and $1,000 per annum for Natchez College, both colored institutions. These appropriations are made in anticipation of the abolishment of the Normal School at Holly Springs. Hon. &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;W. H. Lynch&lt;/a&gt; has been the principal advocate of this scheme, and we are glad to record his success. The measure passed the House by a large vote.</text>

This has been the very same advice that has always been given each year since the Republicans have had the majority in the State, and if we presume that the advice has been followed, the standard of Republican "goodness" and "strength" is certainly not a very high one. Their "good men," like O. C. French and &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/jeremiah-m--p--williams--adams"&gt;Jerry Williams&lt;/a&gt;, and their "strong men," like &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;Wm.

              <text>The Republican Primaries in the City and County. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was the day appointed by the Republican executive Committee of Adams county for the primaries to be held to elect members of the new committee. In some of the precinct meetings, which, in the country, were held during the day, an issue was made on the legislative candidate as between &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;W.

              <text>Those who anticipate a serious split in the colored Republican ranks, to arise from the bolt which occurred in the mob Convention last Thursday, will be disappointed. It isn't that kind of a fight, and will not produce such a result. McCary, Wood, Wilson, &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;W. H. Lynch&lt;/a&gt; and Fitzhugh, who are the shrewd and energetic managers of the colored element here, will get them all straight very soon again under the banner of "War on the white Carpet-Bagger and Scalawag." But the thing won't go down well with the "Caucasians," because they are to be the victims of the crusade which has thus been fairly initiated against them, and many of them (not only in the eastern and seashore counties but also here) will repudiate &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;Lynch&lt;/a&gt; upon the same ground that &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;Lynch&lt;/a&gt;'s friends repudiated Perce - should &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;Lynch&lt;/a&gt; be nominated at Brookhaven. This is the only good result we anticipate from the bolt of Thursday.</text>

              <text>Representative &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;Lynch&lt;/a&gt;'s Pet Bill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hon. &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county"&gt;W. H. Lynch&lt;/a&gt;, the colored representative in the State legislature from Adams county, has been working persistently during the present sitting of that body to secure the passage of a bill for the establishment of an institute for the colored blind, in the city of Natchez, and we are gratified to know that he has got the bill through the house. It appropriates $1,500 per year for the maintenance of such an institution in Natchez, and we hope to see it favorably acted upon by the senate, so that it may become a law.</text>
