THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
The suit between the M. E. Church
South and the State Agricultural College,
a our readers lemember was decided in
the Circuit Court in favor of the college,
whereupon an appeal was taken to the Su
preme court, which reversed the court be
low, hence a trial on the merits of the case
will be had In the Circuit Court. By re
quest we publish the following syllabus of
the decision of the Supreme court :
One or more of the members of an un
incorporated association may sue for the
benefit of th whole, to enforce a right in
favor of the association, which is cogniza
ble in equity.where the members compris
ing it are so numerous that it would be
impracticable to bring them all before the
court.
The right to believe and teach religious
doctrines includes the right to organize
churches, establish seminaries of learning
and acquire property fer that purpose, and
to claim the protection of the civil law in
the enjoyment of such right.
Mere voluntary associations are incapable
of taking and holding real property in their
society name j but it may be held for their
use and benefit through the intervention of
a trustee, who may be a natural or artificial
person.
When, therefore, an unincorporated re
ligious association procured,through other
parties, the formation of a corporation for
literary purposes, the charter of which con
tained a provision, that its object was to
acquire and hold property in trust for such
Association, and that its trustees should be
.annotated by the representatives of the
latter.
Held, that property subsequently con
veyed to it, unless the deed of conveyance
limited it to a different use, must be deem'
ed to have been taken in trust for the asso
ciation ; and where the legislature in pro-
viding for a college, the leading object of
which should be to teach such branches of
learning as are related to Agriculture and
the Mechanic Arts, jn compliance with the
provisions of the act of Congress, granting
public lands to the several 6tate and terri
tories. which micht provide colleges, for
that purpose passed July 2, 1862 tlesig
nated and adopted the said corporation as
the Agricultural College of the state, in
which all students should be instructed in
accordance with the requirements of the
said act of Congress, and the corporation
accepted such designation and adoption, in
pursuance of a requirement of the legisla
ture.
Held, that the relations of the corpora
tion to the religious association were not
thereby changed j that the state in conse
quence of such act,and acceptance, was not
authorized to alter the charter ef the cor
poration or interfere with the right of the
association to manage property conveyea
to the former, as provided in the charter ;
nor that the designation of the corporation
as such College, created a new entity, or
changed its character as trustee of the
property held by It for the benefit of the
association.
Held, further, that a deed to land,subse
quently executed to the corporation, which
contained a provision to the effect, that the
promises be used by it for the purposes of
ih Agricultural Collece of the state : and
9 a -
that when they should ceae to be so used,
they should vest and become the property
of the persons who had, or should contnb
ute the purchase moncy.did not impress a
trust upon the promises in favor of such
College ; that the lattei, as distinct frm
the corporation, was only ideal ; that said
provision in the deed referred to, created a
conditional limitation in favor bf the per
sons who contributed the purchase maney
and that the trustees of the corporations
could not rielitfully convey the land con
trary to the will of the association.
The President-elect's house has much the
appearance of an agricultural fair, among
the recent presents being any number of
pumpklns,bcets,squashes and other veget
ables, sent In by the people who wanted to
give something and tried to select such gifts
as Gen. Harrison was supposed not to have.
The intimation that the General was very
fond of pumpkin pies found an answer in a
dozen or more presents of this kind, and
many large squashes were added to the
collection. One enterprising admirer cut
the words "Harrison, Morton and Protec
tion" on a green pumpkin, and as it grew
in size the letters were also expanded, mak
ing the words to appear the work of nature
instead of man. This sent to him a few days
ago and is shown to visitors in the collec
ion of ' 'fruits."

Since the election has "nnt the revision
of the tariff in the hands of Protectionists
who made it," the Reading Iron Company
has discharged its 200 workmen, the Hig
glns & Co. carpet factory has discharged
half of its men, the Atlantic Cotton Mills,
of Lawrence, Mass, have announced a 20
per cent, reduction of wages, and the big
currying shops of Salem, in the same State
have cut down wages i a week. Neither
our present war tariff nor the election o
Harrison has protected wages In these concerns.
The newspapers which are assigning
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, to the
position of Secretary of the Treasury unoer
Mr. Harrison are not well Informed, Mr.
Wanamaker undoubtedly raised and turned
more money Into Quay's campaign treas
ury than any other man In the country ,but
he is an importing merchant and hence can.
not hold the position to which he has been
assigned without sacrificing his big store,
which now covers a ten-acre lot. As a col-lcctr-of
