And what is more likely to bring about this latter than the use to which our.schools are now being put? But, says. Mr. Scarborough, the only object in view is uniformity. But we answer, that even uniformity is not to be de sired when it substitutes worthless books for good one. It is fair to pre sume that the teachers of the state were already using the best books' Uo be had according to their judgment! These they bad come to select after thorough testa in the school, room. -The very books which the Bute Board recom nended were examined, tested and re jected. We speak more particularly of the Readers. The best educators of tbe-statD and out of it, have pronounced them far below the average, and refused toJRroduce them. Xfif, despite all. thlhese same books are taken up by tbe State Board and ( herculean efforts are being nade to place them' in our schools. And to accomplish this, we learn that some of the local Boards have eone so far as to condition the engagement of teachers upon their pur pose in this matter. That is to say, that unless teachers would agree! to use tbe new books, it has been determined not to employ them. Can our Schools be built up and our teachers improved. and our iguorant masses educated under such an administration? Is it not time for the the people to protest earnestly and vigorously against such an; inva sion of their rights? Why, they tell us abiiut uniformity and the! great bentfits: which J are ' to lollow it; could not uniformily have beenBecured more satisfactorily and more speedily by recommending the adopt '.on of the most popular series of books in use in the state at tbe time the Board; took action? : It would certainly have saved the poor people of (he state thousands of dollars, besides 'giving our schools such books as had secured their rccom mentlation by superior adaptation to the wants of our school. So fair from producing uniformity, tbe action of the State Board and the 'unwarranted as sumption of the State Superintendent, is more likely to produce confusion and cuaos. ; uur- cotorea sciioois, for ln- stanfc, hnd already rcucbed a degree of unitonniiy in the use of books that was truly gralifyintc. And this had bee'n brought about, .not by compulsion, but by the vdluutary choice and eacelleut judmeut of their teachers. . AVe have traveled extensively in eycry. part o the state, have visited their schools, Conversed with their teachers and noted the progress of the educational Work among them. From our pi rsouaj ob servation we are safe tn saviutr that seven tenths of all the colored schools of the state, have been using ; the same text books almost entire. , We found but one school tin whicii Holmes' Readers and Maury's Geographies were used, and j that schooi displaced them after rkiiaa i, trial HI rAru'd M Aimdft and Stephens' Histories were not rsed in jany of them. . We o1served some thing more: the books used in these col ored schools were the same that were then, and are still, in use.in nearly! all tbe best schools of the country, both public and private. The attempt, there-! fore, to displace these books will result in great hardship, upon parents, and will distroy tbe uniformity that already existed.! For tbe State Board and Mr Scarborough will not be able IO derive the booka from hundreds of schools whatever, may be the .means used. Again we bear from. many sections, of the state that school committeemen will not enforce tbe mandates of the Super intended and that the white teachers are very sensibly rejecting many of tbe books rtcomramded. Does this look like uniformity!. Behind all and above all, there a motive for this action on the patt of Mr, Scarborough and tbe State Board, in which, uniformity has bat little, if any, part. It means the perpetuation of sectional prejudice and the ioca?citatioa ol "Democratic poii ties. .... j V!;U!; P !

David R. Mcncni sos. Wilmington has aastained an ir reparable loss in the death of Captain DavidR.- Slurchison, whr breathed his last at the residence 'of his1 brotherr Col, K. R. Murchison, in New York, on Tuesday last. He had been very ill for several weeks and had been taken to New York in th hop that the treat- ment of 'a specialist in" diseases of the he saffered might nature under which have the desired effect. Bu t it was not to be. Congestion of the brain oon intervened and destroyed the last hope of his restoration to health his death following soon afterward. Captain Mnrchison was a valocd citixen, and atich an one as Wilmiogtoa coaid ill afford to lose, inasmuch aa a man of his high business attainments and en terprise are scarce in our day and gen eration, and especially ao here, where bis loss will be so greatly felt. ' Deceased was born in Cumberland county in 183?, finished bis educated at the University of Virginia i in 1856, shortly afterwards' engaged , as book keeper, for Ban man & Murchison in New York, returned to Wilmington in 1858 and embarked in business with the late EH Murray; with whom he con tinued until the breaking out of the war, when he severed his business con nection to enjter the ranks of the Wil mington Lightlnfsutry, and front that day to the close of the war was for the most part of the time in active service. At the close of the war he renewed hia business connection with Mr. Murray, which was continued j until 1866, when he again withdrew and in July in, that year became a member of the firm of Williams & Murchison, Wilmington,' J.D. Williams & Coi,;Fayetteville, and Murchison & Co., New York. He was subsequently a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank of New Hano- ver, first President of the Produce Ex change, President of the Wilmington Compress & Warehouse Company, Pres ident of the Express gj'eamboa Com pany, and finally President of the Caro iina Central Railroad.
