g FISHING" FOR BROKEN TOOLS,


Two years ago law was asked of the
State Legislature allowing the laying of
pipe lines, and bill was put through. Tom
Scott, the railroad prince, who was then in
the legislature, secured the insertion of a
clause to the effect that no line of pipe
should run within four miles of the state
line. The producers and inhabitants of the
OIL districts held indignation meetings, and
the eonseq uenee was a free pipe line law.
Now these lines run short distances, from
one town to another; one line from Sandy
to Oh City, twelve miles, is owned by

By those in Office. will not excuse the peo-
pie in their supine indifference to the con-
finuea existence Of the evil. The remedy
Is always in their hands. They hold the
Keys Of power. They control the elements
ofstrengtb. They can destroy. and they
can make alive.
Ifabuses continue. if they proceed to the
ruin Of the country. the people will be pri-
marily responsible, because they stand idly
BY and encourage the mischief BY indiffe-
renee or inaction.
Politics are not questions Of the success
Of this or that man. They 60 far deeper,
embracing principles upon which the veal
or woe ofthe whole people is involved. And
yet in the wild turmoil of political cam
paign, principles are.lost sight of, and only
the individual is recognized, the rallying
point in the storm Of battle. his claims the
only reward and fruit Of victory.
1t is not to be wondered at, that in these
contests when individual prominence is
made 50 conspicuous. and whose passion be-
comes excited to white heat, personal
abuse v,tuperation. recrimination, all the
artillery Of personal warfare, are let loose,
and the people learn to look at politics as
only trade when personal aggrapdiaement
is the object. and personal abuse the only
legitimate weapon.
But reform will have been accomplish
ed when the people rouse themselves to take
the right interest in public affairs; when
they cease to learn to leave the control Of
politics to wire workers. and Office seekers
when they recognize the Importance Of :
proper choice of public servants, and stiI
themselves in attendance upon primary
meetings.
Let the people themselves, read. think
talk and act. and they will free themselves
from many Of the burdens which they nov
50 hastily and unthoughtedly saddle upOl

LEGISLATURE.

The adjourumsas has been deferred for q
week later. We do not know how the bu-
siness could have been concluded in time.
The Revenue bill has passed the Senate,
and will probably BE- concarred in BY the
House. The taxes are materially lowered.
amounting this year to only AZ cents. as
follows: for general fund i6i cents; Asy-
lums . cents; School tax 81 cents.
This Is ali satisfactory, as far as il goes,
and shows that conservative Legislature
holds to its promises Of retrenchment and
reform. -
But the Legislature still leaves hanging
over the State. the incubus Of the Public
Debt. for which it has made no adequate
provision.

THE UNIVERSITY.

In the debate which took place in the
House on Wednesday last. on the PROPOSE
ton Of Mr.. McGehee to sell certain public
property belonging to the State, lying in
the city Of Raleigh. for the benefit Of the
University. We are glad to see that Mr..
McGehee had the opportunity. Of which be
ably availed himself, to vindica.e thar in
stitution from aspersions which have chung
90 damagiagly to il. We have not the re-
port of the whole debate, and therefore
cannot tell in what portion Of it the special
remarks TO which We refer are to be found.
but they seemed to have been made in re-
sntasion Of the charge that the University
vas the school of the rich. from which the
SON Of the poor man was rigidly excluded.
Mr.. McGehee showed conclusively that
from the foundation Of the institution up to
its disastrous close. the spirit that governed
ii vas Of the most generous chara cter; that
there never was time when the class Of
students known as benefciaries-young
men whose own means. or that Of their pa
rents or guardians we're insufficient to main
tain them at Chapel HiIl-Was not largely
represented, and the charge Of their educa-
ton and board. borne BY the funds Of the
College or the aid Of the literary societies.
He also showed. that there was tender
deIicacy exhibited toward this class ofstu-
dents. sparing them the humiliation which
might attach to dependence. and stimulat-
ing them to stronger Efforts to merit the
kindness they received.
How many Of the young men Of the State
profted BY this generosity is known every
where throughout the State. We would
not have to 20 far from Hillsboro to find
some Of them in places Of conspicuous honor
and usefulness.
The University was truly the school d
the people. The sons Of therich man were
found there. And there we're also found
the sons Of the poor man, both receiving
their mental food from the same table, and
both qualifying themselves to compete il
after life upon that arena where inequalities
Of wealth and poverty, Of social distinction
and original obscurity, disappear.
The discussion Of these questions will d,
much more good than harm. and will efac,
many Of those prejudices which originate
only IN the arts Of the demagogue, in thos
tireless efforts Of discontinued minds to ar
ray the poor against the rich, and to bull,
up class distinctions among our people. In
vestigation will only show. that the Univer
sity has truly been an Alma Mater. gen
fle mother, 10 all her children, and that /
her bountiful gifts. she made no distinctio
among her offspring; showed no partialit
for the rich. had no frowns for the poor.
u Is hoped that her grateful sons wi
soon rehabilitaie beri in her robes. and stat
her again in career Of usefulness. 1t
TO be hoped that hostility and misrepreser
tstioa will cease and the work Of recon
struetion b permitted to 60 on undisturbe
BY fsetiOus opposition.

ORR coNGRESSMEN.

One Of the plessantest signs Of the times
and one Of the most solid testimonies to
restored and barmonifed UNION, is. not
only the presence. but the active participa-
tion Of 50 many prominent Southern men in
the Congress Of the United States. And
not only their participation in the business
Of the nation, but the marked respect and
attention their speeches receive, not only in
the Halls Of Congress. but throughout The
Country. Sectional hosrilifies are giving
way, and the time has come when South
ern man can be heard without hate or sus
picion. and can be allowed the possession Of
broad, national feeling.
Probably. more rapid approach 10 .
thorough paci6cation Of The couHtrY has
been made during this winter, than through
the whole Of the nine previous years that
succeeded the war. Men Of opposite. and
supposed hostile sections have been brought
face to face with each other; have mingled
in social intercourse. and encountered in
debate. and ile results have been the
abatement o. prejudices. the alignment Of
hostility. the recognition Of truth and 10y
atty in the Southerper. and the admission
Of wrong. error and injustice By tbs North

Bound together indissolubly as The Sec

rapidly, for through its sction must come.
