The UNIvERsITY.-We learn that at q
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the University, on yesterday, the Rev.
Soloman Pool, late Revenue Collector, was
elected PRESIDENT of the Institu-

However, let the ''Trustees," and the
Legislature go to work now, and see what
they can do for the education of the white
children. We have heard of nothing else
for the past three years, but of schooling
and instruction for the negro.

be called for the purpose Of endorsing the
honest and noble stand taken by him in

gratitude at this manifestation Of public

enthusiastic popular demonstration such
as you propose, could not strengthen ex-
listing evidence of popular appreciation and
support, constrain me to respectfully de-
cline the invitation"

anything, these days,) that Mr.. G. L. Har-

his place Of residence! This beats sending
the Supreme Court to the cock loft all TO
pieces What right has Mr.. Harris to
occupy the Executive Mansion? What
right has the "Governor to allow him to
do so? Let the Legislature look into the
matter. We have no objection to Mr..
Harris making himself comfortable any
where, but this Radical disregard of law is
becoming more ard more fragrant every
day.-Raleigh Sentinel.
