' Every State, expept Florida, has a University, or institution of high; . , er learning: Most of these derive sup port, partial or general, from public j revenues. , From universal adoption a State University, brCollegej. may be regarded as a characteristic fea ture of our American . Educational system. Those States which have ' been most generous and persistent in their aid, appreciate -most highly . : these Institutions, and have derived most benent irom them. Ihe con- tributiona of the. graduates to State v craft, to jurisprudence, to the pros perity, advancement and high char "... acter'of the States, ,eannot Jje t)yer estimated. What South" Carolina College has done for South Carolina, no true son' of that" chivalrous State would ignore. -The catalogue con tains the names of McDuffie, Peti- eree, Preston, Elmore,' Hainilton, , Harper, O'Neal, Furman, ; Manly, and scores of others whose deeds are inseparably identified with herjhis' tory: Harvard and the University have done equally well " for Massa chusetts and Virginia, Chapel Hill, in ante-bellum days, fitted, for po litical and professional ' life, ' men who gave North Carolina her ; re nown in the councils of the Federal Government, in her Courts, and in her reputation for integrity and wise conservatism. ' .' Universal education; is an imper ative duty of a State.N To neglect is stupid and criminal. ' This : can be done without leaving higher' educa tion , undone., "Education of the masses, giving to all the three K's without price, necessitate adequate ' provision for the highest classical and scientific instruction, No one can believe that rudimentary edu cation-will suffice for the wants of a State's society, in all its interests . needs leadership. ' Government, in all its departments,' needs men of . sagacity, wisdom, broad culture, . He is not well versed in the philoso - pny oi mstory; wno aoes not see . and concede, the utility, the indis- pensableness, of true and high cul tured men and women for all the reat enterprises of society: and .State and Churches. " It is a hurt ful agrarianism -which would de prive us of thoroughly-educated men and women, or of the means , of securing them. Great as our country is, grand as are her future . prospects, she needs what other countries possess more highly and what, in some directions, gives them superiority, " in science, in litera ture, in calm and exalted states- : manship. There is in England a degree of excellence which , we may hereafter reach but have not yet at tained unto. -The " Universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Edinburg have net only furnished scientists, authors and statesmen , but their in fluence: has pervaded the public to such a degree that, with all our intense Americanism, we must con cede that, in some indefinable par- ticulars, we are not yet equal to the mother councry.- "Ageand other causes may have helped to create the solidity, adherence' to precedents, patient and thoughtful examination of nevv.priblems, sacn.dnes,of prop: r erty and life, " wise ? and r rational progress, which obtain J in Great Britain; but the Universities cannot be excluded from consideration; as potent factors in ' bringing abpilt these results. .' ' : r ' State Universities should.be on a Jiigh plane, keep themselves' above competition. : with , academies and colleges, and furnish to the : young men and women of the State high est models of professional skill and learning, and the amplest facilities, for perfecting themselves inthe clas sics in literature and in the sciences. These suggestions ' are not," in the - remotest'degree, in t hostility fo' De nominational Colleges. -Denominational Colleges are'most- useful and necessary, and for them no - proper substitute can" be provided, The . multiplication of higher institutions of learning,',, higher in reality,' and , not merely in name, -should be en couraged and not hindered.- All State Institutions must be keptscru "pulously free from sectarianism No sect has a right, or should be per mitted, to mold the policy of a State i - University, or monopolize its Pro fessorships, or "run" the institution in the interest, .of .for the promotion of its creed cr votaries. Such a : perversion or usurpation, whether open or covert, should be resisted even. to the abolition of the institu tion,, if not otherwise, Vpreventible. Rightly managed, a State University is not the enemy nor rivals of De nomination Colleges, .-"'..The" former is to keep "the latter, sand the cuuse of education and of sound learning as well. .. No Denomination can sur vive the ignorance or, educational inferiority, of its ministry or mem bership. -Higher education is a de nominational necessity, but as a de nominational College should not be in alliance with the .State. Some Institution, amply ' equipped, repre senting the whole population, is needed where the institution can be of the highest and most general character. . ' '' , LOGAN : TO MANNING, AND ; '' MANNING TO LOGAN.- : :i Gen. Logan, of Illinois, recently called on Secretary Manning. Says Mr. Logan: ; "I receive a ' great many letters from old soldiers throughout the country' asking me to protest against the discharge ot other -ex-soldiers? employed as watchmen' and. mesr sengers in the departments here. What shall '-1 say in response to these mqume 7:7 r .tt -Says Mr. Manniagi l t ; ' "You - cari simply say -that these people are dismissed only forcau- ' -i.i. te ses ; ana you may , ana, you ukb, that their places are invariably filled by veterans I of the late war, theonlv difference being that a Re publican soldier - is replaced by a Democratic soldier. The first named have been carefully looked after for nearly a Quarter of a century. think it time now to give the others a chance." ' '. Exit Logan. - - . ; , ,; , GEN. GRANT REAL SOLDIERS : READY; FOR PEACE. Gen. S B.Buckner, the distin guished Confederate , General of Kentucky, recently . visited General Gra.nt, atMt McGregor, and had not only a long, but very pleasant inter view. Among other tnings uenerai Grant said : "I have witnessed since my sick ness lust what I have wished to see ever smce. . the war harmony and good feeling between the sections. have always contended that if there had been nobody lelt but the sol diers, we would have had peace in a year, --and are the only two that T know of that do not seem to be satisfied on the Southern side. We have some on ours who failed to accomplish as much as they wished or who did not get warmed up to the fight until it Was over, who have not had quite full satisfaction. The great majority, too, of those who did not go" into the war have long since grown tired of the long controversy. We may now well look forward to a perpetual peace at home ana nation al strength that will - screen us against any foreign complications. I believe myself that the war was worth all it cost us, fearful as that was. . Since it was over I have vis ited in every State in Europe and a number in the East. -1 know now, as I did not before, the value of our institution-,' - v . -'V " - THE PRESIDENT'S ...... POSES. ; - PIJK- Determined to . Reform the Civil Service. r t.;. '. tFromhe New Tort Sun.) - A few facts will go farther than any number of words to explain the recent reports about" the Adminis tration's policy concerning removals and appointments. ; ! . It is to be said, that the report ol thccallihs of a halt by the . Presif dent was well founded, but not pre cisely accurate, . It was th e Presi dent's answer 'to " the - question : "What truth was there in the report hat- removals and appointments were to be made at an accelerated rate ?'! He gave an emphatic nega tive.- In this sense he called a halt Democrats from many ? quarters began to arrive here in the expecta tion of better times, .. It went forth, therefore, that the: 'President had called ai halt, when ' he had merely et it be known that, so tar from go ing ahead faster, he intended to go even slower than before. : v. To Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, and Representative Barbour, of Virginia, Mr. Cleveland -gave an assurance that , fourthnclass- ipostoffices should be : filled . with Democrats. .That business is frbinsr ahead trettv well. . o trt t . & - X though the fact is that the depart ment is yet behind in hlling the va cancies, saying nothing of removal?. The only halt-that has really , and positively been called is on making charges against Republican incum bents.- This will : hencejorth . work in favor of . keeping Republicans in till their terms expire, and thus, so far as it goes, a backward step : has been taken. ,7 . - ,: ;. y. ' A It is .the... uniform impression of distinguished Democrats who have lately visited the White Houser that the v President gives no indicatipn of changing,; but, if- anything, is more resolute than ever in keeping his. Administration . as distinct as possible "r from , party r politics. ' H especially regards it as an excellent feature of his administration that certain Republicans should be kept in office. He considers that this is ia the spirit of the civil service law, and of his letter to Mr. G. W. Curtis; and his defense of his course in this respect is always followed by the observation that as between. Demo crats and Republicans the latter are sometimes to be' preferred. - This rule he has deliberately adopted in a number of cases, and will contin ue to , adopt, because -he thinks it strictly according to ' civil service reform. : u -. - - ,- It is the uniform report, too, that when the President is told that his course is calculated to loyo for his Administration the .support of Dem ocrats in numbers, he promptly meets "the observation ' by declaring that the people are with him, and that his party will ultimately be al the stronger, lor the treatment, v The .Asheyille Meat Market.
