AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.-We are sorry to
feel it duty to dsapprove any of Gov
Worth recommendations. We believe the Gov
ernor to be honest in his opinions and has the
good of the State at heart, but like other men he
is liable to err and may be mistaken in his ideas
of public policy.
By act of Congress large quantity of pub
lie land was donated to each State to erect and
put in operation an Agricultural College. The
Governor suggests that orth Cardinals share of
this fund be used to engraft such Department
in the College at Chapel Hill. We do not think
such disposition of the fund would be prudent
or beneficial. unless the management at Chapel
Hill is materially changed. AT present, scores of
our young men going to Colleges outside the
limits Of this State-Chapel Hill does not sustain
the reputation it formerly did-and the addition
of an Agricultural Department will not much help
its standing. We are opposed to partial dona-
tons of public property or money Ii it is
thought best not to establish separate College
for promoting Agriculture. let the fund be fairly
divided among all our Colleges, and let an Agri
cultural Chair De supported i'll each. Let Chapel
Hill take its chance among other institutions,
and let the institution be conducted in more
energetic aud economical manner.
1t might be better. for the present, to leave the
fund in the hands of the State authorities unap-
pre- pEiated.

The COURSE OF CoNGREss.-The Southern
States TO be Held and Treated as Territories.
The N. 7. Herald, though recent ally of the
Radicals. appears already the mou,h-piece of
the party. 1t announces the course that will be
pursued by Congress as follows:
From the emphatic and decisive popular en-
dorsements which the reconstruction plan of Con-
gress has received in all the recent State elections
from Maine to Oregon, the opinion prevails that
soon after the re-assembling of the Congress thus
endorsed summary measures will be adopted by
the two Houses to bring this Southern difficulty
to speedy and decisive solution. This opinion
we believe to be well founded, and from certain
information which has lately come into our pos
session, we think the initial point of new line
OF action has been discovered whereby this whole
question may be substantially settled before the
adjournment on the 4th of March next, and set
tied upon the basis ofthe pending constitutional
amendment
The key which unocks this difficulty and all
ITS corr pcations is this: that three-fourths of the
loyal States, the States represented in Congr
are competent not only to carry on the govern
ment, but to change the organic law of the gov
eminent.
Divested Of petty technicalities, quirks and
bubbles, it is thus apparent that three-fourths of
the States now represented in Congress are COM
petent to make the pending constitutional amend
ment part and parcel of the Constitution, the SUI
preme law alike to the outside and the inside
States and Territories. This is the conclusion
which, we understand, will be acted upon by Con
gress. When three-fourths, or twenty-one of the
twenty-six States now represented in Congress
shall have ratified the amendment the Secretary
of State will be required, by act of Congress, if
necessary, to proclaim the ratification complete
Then, while the ratification may be held as the
condition of Southern restoration the amendment
consummated will still be binding upon them as
the supreme law of the land, and Congress may
enforce it from Virginia to Texas by Inappropriate
legisaton,' AS in the Territories
This is the solution which awaits the excluded
States. 1t is solution perfectly consistent with
the rights and powers assumed by the loyal States

Confederate States, and with all the Legislation of
