Mr.. HARRIS, of Wake, said he had voted
in the affirmative in order to make a mo-
ton to reconsider. He made that motion.

they should have enough to pay their ex-

Mr.. SINcLAIR said he saw a movement on
foot here to make the University mixed
institution. If this were thrown into the
hands of u few persons about Raleigh, this
would be accomplished.

question whether the institution was mixed
or not was not under consideration.
The SPEAKER decided that the gentlem n
was pursuing proper course of debate.
MIR. HARRIS, of Wake, said the gentleman
had spoken of changing the University into
negro school, and asked if there were any
such proposition. With permission he
would assert that he was as much opposed
to that as the gentleman from Robson or
any one else.

one of the trustees of the University de-
sired to make the University mixed school.
Mr.. POU thought he would satisfy tho

THIS debate upon the management of the
University was premature. The Trustees
would make report how the University
ought to he managed. The expenses OF the
University ought to he kept entirely sepa-
rate from the other State affairs. The House
should know what it was doing before act

Mr.. DOWNING favored the reconsideration
