The president-rhe university.

President Johnson. accompanied by Messrs.
Seward and Randall, Gen. Sickles and Stan,
Col. Bomford and Staff, and others, visited
Chapel Hill on Thursday last, to be present
at Commencement The president was re-
ceived by Gov. Swain, the President OF the
University. Speeches were made by Presl-
dent Swain, President johnson, Mr.. Seward,
Mr.. Randall. and Gen. Sickles, full reports
of which we have not yet seen. We THINK
it more than probable that full and correct
report of the speeches of Presidents Swain
and johnson will not appear.
We learn that Gov. Swain, in the course
of his welcoming speech to the President,
referred to his veto messages as worthy OF
the wisdom of Washington and the states
manship of Jefferson. President johnson,
in the course of his reply, paid tribute to
the courage displayed on the battlefield, but
he said the courage which he most admired
was that which enabled a man to stand up
against the clamors OF tyrant majority
This expression was enthusiastically applau-
ded. Of course neither Of these expressions
will appear in Mr. Gobright's report for the
Associated Press Indeed, the telegraph wires
as we'll as the Railroads of the South, are in
rebel hands.
We learn that Confederate flag was
found waving in one of the rooms of one of
the Societies of the University We presume
that out OF respect for the President and Gen.
sickles this flag was removed. for the time
being.
Some of the officers belonging to the Staff
of the President, Gen. Sickles and others,
were entertained in very common style at
hotel in the village of Chapel Hill. Their
fare was quite ordinary, we learn, for which
they were charged 81 per day. Several of
them left before the President did; Others
renamed longer out of respect to him.
The University has been, and now is, in
the hands of persons disaffected to the gov
eminent of the United States. 1t must be
reformed. The State Convention to be held
under the Sherman act must reform it, I" from
turret to foundation stone"
We regret to have to say that the effect of
the Presidents visit to Raleigh and Chapel
Hill has been to encourage the spirit of re-
bellion The enemies of the government are
more exultant and defiant than they have
heretofore been.

Republican State Committee.

The proceedings of the Committee will be
found in our paper to-day.
1t will be seen that after full discussion, a
Convention of the Republican party was
called, to be held on the first Wednesday in
September. The disposition to hold Con-
vention some time during the Summer or
Fall, was general; but it was thought best to
hold it early in September, mainly because of
the fact that by that time the Registers Will
have performed their duties, and will have
it in their power to attend the Convention
There was no disposition evinced by any
one to ignore the March Convention. On
the contrary, that body was spoken of in
terms of high commentator by all, and its
platform of principles warmly endorsed
The meeting of the Committee was alike in
teresting and harmonious. The best feeling
prevailed among all who participated in its
deliberations. The Republican party Of the
State is unit, and will press zealously and
steadily forward in the great work of recon-
struction.

The western zone of North Carolina en-
braces the mountain region from the eastern
foot of the Blue Ridge to the Tennessee line
Tt consists of succession of highridges and
valleys. some of the former running into
peaks six thousand feet above the sea level;
and one of them, the Black Mountain, rising
to the height of nearly seven thousand feet,
or higher than any point on the continent
east of the Rocky mountains. The average
level of the valleys and lower plains in this
region is quite two thousand feet above the
sea- Approaching the mountains from the
east, the ascent is very abrupt; and one-half
of the ascent measured from the ocean to
the top of the Blue Ridge, is encountered IN
the last six miles, On the west, the descent
is very gentle and railroad from the west
could be carried to the SUBMITS of the gaps
without the necessity of tunnelling. Almost
every foot Of ground in the mountain region
can be made useful to man, for purposes OF
cultivation or grazing; and it is destined,
doubtless, to be peopled, in the course OF
time, to the very tops of the highest peaks.
Everywhere the soil is good, and the climate
delightful.
A common figure of speech, framed origl-
nally, perhaps, with reference to ATTITUDES, is
calculated to impress the unredecting with
very erroneous ideas in regard to the South.
We allude to the phrases, "down South"
down in Virginia, or the Carolinas." The
facts stated above will show at once the abb
surdity of such expressions, when taken lit
orally. The denizen of Boston or New York
who complacently talks of going down to
North Carolina is in reality as absurd as II
he should say down to the Catskill, or down
to the White mountains. The mountains OF
North Carolina are the highest east of the
Rocky range which divides the Mississippi
valley from the Pacific slope; and the aver
age level of the State for the same reason, is
higher than that of any State east of the
Mississippi river. This fact has much to do
in tempering the climate, and should ever be
kept prominently in view by the friends of
the State.

The Circuit Court.

Our people are fortunate in having on the
Circuit Court bench such Judges as the
Chief Justice and Judge Brooks. The pres
ent Court marks an important event in our
history. The laws Of the United States are
again freely and impartially administered in
our midst, by the Chief Justice himself and
by one of the ablest jurists of our State.
The District Attorney, Mr.. Starbuck, and
the Marshal Mr.. Goodloe, are performing
their important duties with their accustomed
ability, to the entire satisfaction of the
Court.
1t is thought the Court will remain in SEES
sion the greater part of the ensuing week.
We have seldom seen in the City larger
number of distinguished members of the bar
than are now present.

THE MOBILE NArIoNALIsr,s ARTICLE.

The following is the article published in
the Mobile NatiOnalist of the Both ult, adj
vising colored people when and how to use
firearms, for which that paper was suppress
ed, as announced by telegraph few days
ago:
To the Editor Of the Nationalist:
I wish you would give me space through
your honored journal to give word of adj
vice to the colored people of Mobile about
the use of firearms. I know that we are
accused of being turbulent and riotous, and
| also know that many of us are ignorant of
what is right and dutiful in great degree;
that we are friendly toward the white peo-
pie as a general thing, and that they would
be just as friendly to us five only could
agree with them in politics and know too,
that there are many bad colored men as well
as bad white men, who will not agree with
anybody in what is just and good. But the
demonstration on the night of the 14th
brought to my sight and to my mind one OF
the greatest errors that I have ever seen the
colored people make. was in the thickest
of the firing, and had no pistol because
did not expect riot, and know great
many men who likewise had no weapons.
Strange as it may seem, nearly all of those
who did have pistols shot them off in the
air, where there was no enemy, knowing at
the same time that the alarm bell was as
busy as it could be, calling our enemies to
"Comew "ComeI" "ComeI" But it ap-
pears to me that God had his finger in the
pie, and He directed a general stampede of
all parties Had He not have done so, be-
live me, my friends, our enemies would have
rallied and come to the sound of the alarm
bell, and then and there they would have
found US with empty pistols, and general
massacre would have been the result. beg
you, therefore, on all future occasions Of that
kind, not to waste single shot until you
see your enemy, then be sure he is your enc
my, and if you should put him to fight,
never waste the balance of your ammunition,
lest he should rally, and again assault you.
But don't forget my first advice: Don't
shoot your pistol until it is absolutely ne
cessary, and then be sure you shoot your
enemy. j. F.

The third OF June, 1867, is dav benco
forth and forever memorable in the hist,
of the national capital. 1t witnessed nnt
only the initial vote of a portion of our neo'
pie hitherto d1stranchised and ensIayed bn.
the signal defeat of the party responsible far
both these great wrongs. This splendid
victory has been achieved in the face Of
great difficulties and against immense odds
The Copperheads resorted to every conceiva.

defeat. They had no less than fce bogus
tickets in circulation. Some of these were
exact copies of the regular Republican ticket
in all but the names of the candidates They
were headed Republican Ticket" printed
In the same colored ink, and with type SINH
lar to that used in the genuine ticket.
These were circulated among the more I'M
suspecting of the colored voters. We have
no doubt that in many instances the fraud
was successfut-not enough, however, to
secure the desired end. A more shameless
and contemtible attempt at deception is not
to be found in the annals of American polit
ical contests. And yet this is the work of
the party that PIRATES about frauds" The
Republican majority is about two Thousand

Councilmen. Had the contest been conduc-
ted with anything like fairness on the part
of the Copperheads, we would have carried
every ward, and elected every man on our
ticket Considering the difficulties in the
way, and the INSCRIPTIONS character of the
foe we had to meet we have achieved a
wonderful victory. A comparison of the
number of registered voters with the vote
cast yesterday will show that we did not
get a chance to bring out our entire strength.
This was owing, in part, to the utter in
efficiency of some of the men who acted as
receivers of votes. A number of them were
wholly unfit for the positions they sought to
occupy. AS consequence, when the polls
closed at seven o'clock, hundreds were stand
ing in line, unable to get an opportunity to
deposit their ballots. But this is no time
to find fault, even if we were so disposed.
The republicans, white and black, of Wash
ington have redeemed the national capital
from Copperhead rule. When we say this
we state the grand result of yesterdays
abors. Coming down to details we find
that we have elected
l. The whole city ticket, consisting Of
register, and surveyor.

cilmen.

Chief Justice Chase.

The Chief Justice reached this City on
Wednesday evening last, on the Raleigh and
CASTOR train, and was met at the depot by
number of his friends. He was conducted
to the Marlborough House, where he was In
PRODUCED to the Mayor and Commissioners,
and a number of citizens. In response to
the general desire to see and hear him, by
the large assembage in front of the hotel, he
appeared on the balcony and was introduced
by MIR. Mayor Haywood. He was received
with much enthusiasm, and spoke briefly as
follows:
thank you most heartily, my friends and fell
low citizens, for the kindness of your reception.
1t is equally unexpected and gratifying.
You all rejoice, and L rejoice with you, that at
length throughout our country all men are free
all equal before the laval assured of fair OPP
portunities for improving their condition in life.
You mean, am surssto use this freedom and
these opportunities for the advancement of the
best interests of the whole community. Let your
aims be high, but let them all be noble and gen.
erous aims Let freedom come with peace, and
with freedom let there come the assurance that
the rights of all the BEST and, indeed the only
guaranty of the welfare of all.
But l must not be tempted into making q
speech. thank you again for your welcome.
No language under the circumstances,
could have been more appropriate than the
foregoing. The Chief Justice was warmly
cheered as he retired.
The colored people turned out in large
numbers on the occasion, with music and
banners. In addition to the respect they
were showing to the greatest living expoun-
der of the Constitution and the laws, they
felt that they were greeting one of their
earliest, most Jealous and most steadfast
friends.
We know the Chief Justice is averse to
any thing like display, and that he did not
expect such reception. But it was sponta-
neous. 1t was demonstration by the people,
to evince their respect and affection for one
of the purest patriots and best men the
country contains.

The Nationalist commented as follows:

1.-THE practice of carrying weapons is a
very bad custom indeed, and should be
abandoned as soon as possible by all classes.
But it is especially important that the prac-
tice of firing into the air should be stopped.
If man is attacked, he has perfect right
to defend himself, but throwing away his
ammunition only deprives him of the means
of doing so-ED]
