He consoles himself with the reflection
that good boys, although often evil spo-
ken of, will eventually vindicate their
character. Johnny astonished large
crowd of idlers at the railroad depot on
Saturday. Having an enand up Nor
ris avenue, and his hour for dining be-
ing just at hand, he tried his speed with
remarkable results. A burly hack driver,
who was throwing kisses to chamber
maid lounging in an attic window, was
directly in the boys path-for q mo-
ment, As the pigmy came in contact
with the giant, the latter event down"

ceuturies-wben smitten by the thunder

the track and struck the hackman, the

of Johnny's rivals. Other interesting

great Importance to the people of both

long acquaintance, 1 believe You possess,
Ill an eminent degree, all the qualities
and qualifications which are necessary
and requisite to make orr common
schools a success, and that your APP
pointment will give general, if not mn
versal, satisfaction. l am further
persuaded that your freedom from
political prejudice and tolerance will
prompt you to take as much interest,
and manifest as much zeal in behalf of
the education and moral culture of one
race of our fellow-citizens as of the
other, and that you will know, or IA
vOr, or ignore no one on account of his
or her race or previous condition, but
that you will administer this office and
discharge its duties impartially and
without favor or fear.

me your valuable aid in an honest

JUDGE ofs,Fsfss,f AND TKFE
CON,EE2S,FED ELECTION.

The New York ,Su,a does Judge
MERRIMoS very gross injustice in
| charging him with the failure to con-
test the election for Governor befor e
| the Legislature The Executive Com
! mittees OF the Conservative Democra-
tic and Liberal Republican parties
! were called to meet III Raleigh Oh Goth
OF October last, especially to take this
subject into consideration. It was con-
sldered with great care, and the facts,
as reported from the various countless
referred to a committee Of able law
yers.
Vast, outrageous frauds were
known to have been committed, but
often they could not be legally estab-
llshed, and more frequently County
| Executive Committees had failed to
make proper reports. The grossest il
Irregularities were proved to have ex-
listed III many Of the counties, but the
Committees did not wish to make a
contest for these.
While the meeting did not absolute
ly give up the contest, if was practi-
| cally abandoned. Judge NIERRI,IoN
was present at these meetings, and was
very firm and persistent in his opinion
that the contest ought to be made
The writer was himself member of
the Democratic conservative Commit
tee and present at the meeting From
that time onward, although the JOUR
NAL was one OF the first, probably the
very first, paper in the State to
demand the contest, we abandoned it.
Onr opinion had not changed as to'the
facts, but we were satisfied that it was
lmpracticable, either from the care
with which the corruptionists had Gov
cred their frauds or from the careless
ness and Indifference &C our OWN peo-
pie.
Judge MERR1MoN cannot. in any wav
directly or indirectly, be charged with
the failure to make the contest.

You have SO unexpectedly rendered me-
The cause of popular education
should be raised above partisan con-
siderations. Reciprocating and hon
oring your motives i'll endeavoring to
effect this great object, as shown i'll
the appointment of one not of your
own party, l shall labor with earnest
desire, as the Constitution provides,
to difftlse the light of knowledge
equally and impartially among all the
youth of the State, without bias of
politics or bias of race.
To aid in relieving the intellectual
famine of the rising generation, i'll re-
moving from the State the blight of
ignorance, i'll rekindling the eNtin-
guished fires of our venerable Univer-
sity, once 50 honored and useful, in

Deeply impressed, notwithstanding
your favorable opinion, with Il sense of
my want of the requisite qualifications
to accomplish the task, yet intending to
bring to the work industry and zeal, I
will enter on my duties, relying on
your efficient aid, as well as on the CO.

The grievances to which the people
of this unfortunate village have been
subjected, political, pecnniary and per
sonal, are without parallel i'll the
State or out of it. They have stood
silently by aud seen the bread taken
from the mouths of themselves and
their little ones they have seen their
once busy streets grow up with weeds
and grass they have seen their dwell
ings and places of business go TO ruin
for the want of a few dollars to make
the necessary repairs in due time year
by year and week by week and day by
day, they have seen their hope of a
better time coming grow fainter and
fainter, until now, at last, they are wel
nigh crushed with that heart sickness
that comes of hope deferred. And all
these evils have come upon this people
from the determination of Solomon Pool
to live and die President of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina
Recognizing the fact, we presume,
that the University could not be sus-
tanned under the Pool Dynasty, all of
the Professors, save Mr.. Brewer, we
believe, have resigned There is not
now, and for twelve months or more
there has not been, a single student at
the University, if we are correctly in
formed. There is no pretence, even,
of affording here any facilities i" for
the convenient instruction of youth,
or for duly encouraging and promo
ting all useful learning" rs required
! by the article Of the old Constitution,

/ As Mr.. Brewer is already provided
for by foreign appointment, Presi-
dent Solomon Pool is the only remain
! ing obstacle 10 its reconstruction and
reorganization. 1t has been demon
strated, beyond the possibility of
doubt, that not even the Radical Trus-
| tees OF the University will send their sons
here, SO long as Solomon Pool is Presi-
dent. We appeal to the Radical party,
then, to unite with us in setting aside
a man whom neither they nor ourselves
are willing to trust. Can it be posi-
BILE that the great interest North
Carolina has at stake in this matter is
to be sacrificed to crafty the ambition
of Solomon Pool? We trust not. S.
