CIVIs.
The University.

We publish the second article from our
correspondent, C1vIs, to-day, and will give
the last tomorrow. We feel confident
these communications will receive the
thoughtful attention of the Trustees, at
their meeting, to be held this week, in
Raleigh.
The people of the State have not lost
confidence in the University OF the ability
of its present Faculty to afford to their
sons good education, and they do not in
tend that the Institution shall die. A new
and changed system seemed to be de-
manded, and this will be complied with.
Among its present Faculty are some of the
ripest scholars and accomplished PROBES
sors of the country, who have made for the
University much of its proud history, and
attracted to its halls students from many
States second in numbers to but few Insti-
tutions in the United States.
We are sorry to see that some Of the pa
pers of the State are giving to the reorgan-
ization of the University political turn,
abusing certain prominent men mentioned
as its President because they may have diff
fered from them rs to the merits or in
sympathy, in regard to the late war. It
must be recollected that, for many years
to come, very large majority. almost all,
of the young men from this State and the
South who will seek education at Chapel
Hill, are the sons, it may be the orphans,
Io Io
armies and navies, and respect must be
shown to their feelings if it is desired that
they will attend it's sessions Care must
be taken to reap the benefit of the sue
cess which has attended the reorganiza-
ton of the Faculties at the University of
Virginia, Washington College, the Military
Institute, and other Collegiate Institutions
in the South. As suggested by cotem-
porary, Judge READ nay be selected to
preside, and Professors HEPBURN and HE'D
RICK recalled, nay. they may require the
entire Faculty to take the test oath, but
unless Congress or some more potent power
compels parents to send their sons to the
University, its bell will be rung in vain,
and the lecture rooms will present beg
carly account of vacant seats, unless, in
deed, its doors are thrown open to all
without respect to race, color or former
condition."
No; let the present Faculty remain-in-
deed it would be more than folly to deprive
our youth of the benefit of the experience,
and scientific and scholarly attachments of
some of them-then let ability, learning
and character govern the selection of the
others, and place at the head of the whole
man, whatever may have been his pre-
vious occupation in life, whose name,
moral and social influence and cultivated
attainments, will provea "tower ofstrength"
to the University. 1t would be an expen-
sive folly to so constitute the Faculty,
whatever may be its ability and learning,
that no students will seek their instruc-
tions. While we should not suffer public
opinion to fasten upon our schools of learn
ing improper OR incompetent men, it is
right and necessary that the sympathies of
the people should be consulted. Without
80 doing, all attempts to rebuild the Uni
versity-justly the pride of the State-will
be in vain.

Conflict of Authority.


We learn that United States Marshal
GoopLoE, acting under orders from WASH
ington City, ordered Deputy Marshal NEFF,
of this place, to execute the process OF the
r;rcnit Court of the United States hereto
fore stopped by order of the military. with
Instructions to forward the name of any
officer interfering in order that he may be
prosecuted under the criminal laws of the
United States Colonel FRANK, the Post
Commander, acting under orders from DIS
trict Headquarters, has again lnterfered to
prevent the execution of the process as
being in violation of General Order No. 10.
Here, then, seems to be a conflict of au-
thority of portentous Importance, which
can hardly be settled, except by establish
ing the constitutionality or unconstitution-
ality of the Reconstruction Acts. The
President, bound by his oath to execute
the laws according to the Constitution, is
acting perfectly consistent with his duty,
yhiIe General SIcKLEs, obeying the orders
of Congress, to whom he alone is respon-
sible, by the very act which places him IN
command of his district, is acting in strict
accordance with his duty. The fault lies,
not with these officials, but is owing to the
incongruous and discordant legislation by
which Congress has usurped the executive
and legislative powers of the Government
We hope that good judgment and wise
counsels will prevail in settling conflict
which may lead to Judicial decision up
on the vexed question of the constitution
ality of the Reconstruction Acts, for IN the
matter in dispute, persons and not States
ore the parties, and the side issue upon
which Mississippi and Georgia were thrown
out of Court could not be raised here.
And Chief Justice Chase would be COM
PEELED to meet fairly and squarely, case
brought up by his own decision in an in
ferior Court.

The University.

We, in common with every friend Of ed
ucation, in common with every true-h heart
ed North Carolinian, have lamented the
decline of the University, and have seen,
with unfeigned regret, the growing dislike
with which it has been regarded by the
public 1t is, however, an indisputable
fact that the University has not of late
occupied it's wonte9position, while similar
institutions in this and other States have
risen from their ruins with renewed strength
and vigor. The causes of this deplorable
result, mo matter whether they were real
or imaginary in our opinion, no longer
exist, and as q recital of them would trench
upon ground, personal, delicate and I'M
pleasant, we shall make no farther refer
ence to them, satisfied with the great fact
that they no longer exist.
It is probable, from what we have been
informed, that the four remaining Profess
sors will tender their designations to the
Trustees at or before their next meeting,
so as to leave that body untrammeled in its
schemes of reorganization, and this we
think the proper course, although we have
no doubt of the reappointment of either Of
these four gentlemen. The present incum-
bents, therefore, will be no obstacle in the
way of the Trustees at their meeting on the
22d We have heard, however, with much
pain, rumor that some of tie Trustees
have in contemplation a suspension, for a
time at least, of all the exercises of the In
stitution We give no credit to this rumor
though we think proper to refer to it, as
we cannot believe that any gentleman,
hopored by his State with the charge of
her highest educational interest, can so
wantonly and treaeherously betray his
sacred trust. The University of North
Carolina, though it has been allowed to de-
cline, has very strong hold upon her peo-
pie, and the man who attempts its dessruc-
ton will sink under a weight of merited
obloquy-suspension now is destruction.
We will not discuss this question, however,
as we are unwilling, by inference even, to
attribute purposes SO utterly at variance
with patriotism and duty, to any gentleman
without positive evidence. Under proper
! auspices we can maintain our University
as well as Virginia, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Mississippi and Texas can maintain
theirs. These auspices now appear. Let
usaall, then, Trustees, People and Press,
devote ourselves earnestly, heartily, cor
daily and honestly to the restoration of the
University. Do this, and in less than one
calendar Jear it will be fourishing and
self-supporting. 1t is due to our children,
it is due to the children of those who gave
up their lives in our defence.
We desire to call attention to the COM
munication of CIv1s, which is the first of
three articles from an eminent gentleman
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1867-08-23

and scholar of this State. who has given to
the subject much thought. We commend
his recommendations and views to the at
tention of the Trustees who are to assemble
in Raleigh in a few DAYS.

NO. II.

It must be safe, I think, to take it for
granted that this Institution is neither to
die, nor to be suspended. Thepride of our
people ought to prevent our harboring such
a thought. The affectionate memory of
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1867-08-23

orally set little value on it, in comparison
with learning facts even.
The school which shows the longest list
of books to be studied is like to prevail in
the competition. Our people seem to have
fancied that the love of truth and habits
of accurate thinking and of careful investi-
cation, come Of themselves and need no
special cultivation. Seldom is the question
asked touching school or college, where
are the higher forms of manliness and Wig
orous thought and scientific method learn
ed and gained? In this particular, toe,
are the results, which young persons COM
monty attain meagre and superficial, in a
most melancholy degree. Our young men
learn usually enough of Latin and Greek
and Mathematics, by the time they leave
college, to enable them to pursue those
studies with some pleasure and profit; and
they actually, in most cases, go away and
forget them. Few of them have gained
such habits of sustained and attentive
thought that they have either power or dis
position-unless they are forced to ito
venture on any higher or further attain
ments in science. To one who sees what
ought to be accomplished the actual results
among us are cause of sadness only.
This evil state of things demands, and
might in some good degree be remedied by
an Institution whose avowed aim should
be the attainment of the highest forms
and measures of mental culture. Let it's
selection of studies be determined solely

CHRIST AND THE T'WELva.--This work,
just published by GurdOn, Bill q Co.,
Of Springfield Mass, consists Of a COM
pilation Of the choicest poems of stan
dard American German and English
poets, representing scenes and events
in the life Of our Savior and his Apos-
ties. It is almost a sufficient eommen-
dation Of the merit of the work to say
that J. g. Holland, formerly Editor Of
the Springfield Republican, and the
author Of "Bitter Sweet" is the compi-
Ter. The work illustrates the fact that
there is no department of poetry which
more abOunds in beautiful and fruitful
themes than that called Sacred. It af-
fords a combination Of truth, beauty
and sublimity which infuses he finest
inspiration Of poetic genius. The life Of
Christ, particularly, eminently abounds
in events no less beautiful and sublime
than instructive, and these have furnish
ed the themes and the inspiration for
much Of the best lyric poetry in our
language. Nor is there any species Of
human composition better adapted to
illustrate the truth and beauty Of
the Christian religion or to exem-

HAzELToN have formed a partnership
in the business of cultivating grape
vines and small fruits, and for this pur-
pose are making extensive arrange

pose to put down about $4,000 plants
during the coming season. They VIII
raise all the choicest varieties of grape
vines and small fruits indigenous to
this climate, and have already a eonsid-
erable stock of the best varieties on
hand. Mr.. HazeltOn has had several
years experience in the business and
processes to be thoroughly conversant
with all its details. The preparations
being made by the firm show that they
mean to carry on the business extern
sively and in earnest, and that they in
tend not to be behind the foremost in
enterprising pursuit Of what is rapidly
becoming one of the most prominent
interests of this county.

SHA1rEEUE. OUEBAGE.-On Friday af-
ternoon last two men, representing
themselves to be peddlers, entered the
house Of Mr.. WRIT ATKINSON, near
the scioto bridge, three miles west of
town, and finding no one but Mrs. At
xinson, an old lady, present, commenc-
ed insulting her with her impudent
questions relating to the whereabouts
Of the other members OF the family and
inquiries as to whether there was mon
ey in the house. Mrs. Atkinson, alarm
ed at their conduct, endeavored to es-
cape from the house but her egress was
prevented, and one of the rufhans
struck her over the head with billet
of wood infieting severe wound and
rendering her for a time insensible.
The williams then seemed to take alarm
and hed without securing any plum
der. Mrs. Atkinson recovering made
her way to the nearest neighbOrs, but
by that time the two men had made
their escape and have not since been
heard from.
