Democrats are pow conhden. Of defeating
all other political legislation.
The session to night was for debate only
on The force bill. The fact that the Dcmo-

THE UNIVERSITY.


The Trustees Of the University. through
a Committee appointed for that purpose
have melhorialiaed the Legislature Upon
the subject Ct the revival o. the Institution
and seizing hold Of what Is entirely practi-
cable, have suggested mode by which the
exercises Of the University may be resumed
in July. II is for the State to recognize
the obligation to maintain the fund arising
from the sale Of the Agricultural Scrip do
mated by congress in its integrity.
This Is plain. and at the same time it
pciuts cut duty which Is imperasiss. The
State Of North Carolina is firmly bound BY
iss former Legislative Acts to the fulflment
Of obligations assumed. She ninst either
apply the fund IS she agreed 10 do, or she
must return the fund. principal and iute-
rest to The government Of the United States.
This Is the engagement. and il must be
met one day or the other. The government
has no tender feeling FOR any State in the
South. and will hear to no plea Of poverty.
and listen to nc excuse that the fund arts
ing from the sale Of the Scrip was invested
in worthless bonds. That is our look out,
not that Of the government. The proceeds
Of tie scrip we're invested in special tax
bonds, and are therefore not available.
Bat the committee ask the Legislature to
recognize this fund as valid one. and as
charge against the State. The interest Of
this fund, amounting to about $1,000 an
nually to be applied TO the support Of the
University. This will be starting point,
and will enable the Trustees to begin the
efefcises Of The University in July. on a
small scale it is true. but in the way if
which il is more approx 70 begin. for
the benefit Of the Agricultural educational
interests Of aetate. For ID is obligatory
to use the fund 10 this way, and the farmer
will st once reap benefit which al once
gives him the facilities Of liberal educa-
ton.
The Legislature tssts under Two obliga-
tons. one to the government. the otaer to
the youths Of the State. The FIRST ID must
meet BY fulfilling the last. or It must place
itself 10 the humiIia.ing position Of return
ing TO the United States the whole Of this
large sum which ID decides is not wise e
nough TO value IT'S OppOrisnities. Will The
Legislature In the frs place be false to a
plain dutyi IN Wilt add additional bur.
dsns to the overloaded tar payers BY re-
turning this fund to the Government.
One thing or the other must be done. eth
sr TO return the fund. or spply il TO The
objects ofthe donation.
We believe there will be.no hesitation,
We think the legislature appreciates its
responsibility, We believe it has due iutc-
rest 10 the cause q education, we believe
it viii do justice 10 the farmer 60 long neg
lseted in the facilities Tor enlightened in
struction- And therefore We can have no
doubts as 10 its action.

The muster was SUSPENDED, and consul.

PRESIDENT Grant has appointed
ex-senator Zachary Chandler, of
Michigan, Secretary Of the Interior,
in place of Delano, resigned. He is
the man whom the Republicans in the
Michigan Legislature last winter de-
clard to be unworthy to represent the
state any longer in the United States
Senate, on account of drunkenness.
He was the author of that eminently
moral sentiment that the Union would
be good for nothing without little
blood.letting. He is therefore a curl
Gus constitutional adviser for Presi-
dent protesting policy Of peace and
Justice. If the Force bill had passed,
the appointment would have been ap.
propriate. The appointment is di-
rect insult to the people and a dis
grace to the government of the Unit-
ed States. This is said to be one of
the first fruits of the recent defeat of
Gov. William Allen, and the Democ-
racy of Ohio-which was brought
about by the influence of such Dem
ocratic organs as the ". Y. World in
the interests of Gov. Tilden-for the
next Democratic Presidential nominee.
But if this is the first fruit of the Re-
publican triumph in that state we
tremble to know of the other disas-
trous national calamites that arc sure
to befall our beloved country. But
our people are accustomed to just
such disreputable appointments as this
one, by President Grant.
