' ANTI-CHIN KSE BILll 1
As we. stated in our last issue,
President Hayes vetoed the bill
passed by Congress restricting
Chinese immigration. . This has
caused intense excitement through
out the Pacific States, and the; course
taken by the President has brought
upon him the deserved indignation
of the Western men. Upon receipt
of the news in California, the inliab
. - . 1 !
itants ol several towns rose up in
their indignation and burned every
Chinese-shanty within their; reach
At a mass-meeting, in Bnllister

effigy and flags were at half.mast

ihey would be more likely to re
mind us of the reisn of terror in
France than the actions of a free
people who have a right to demanc
redress in a peaceable manner
Jayes gives, as his reason for the
course he has taken that the bill is a
violation ot the treaty made with
China which was obtained almos
at the month of the United States
guns about the middle of the present
century. The country is divided in
opinion upon this subject Th
Eastern men claim that restricting
Chinese immigration would be in
opposition to 'our long established
policy ol' making America anjasy lum
for all persecuted foreigners ; while
the Western men declare that the
Chinese do not come : under this
head, inasmuch as they never immi
crate to the United States with the
intention of making- it their home
However this may be, one thing is
certain : the Western portion of our
Union is suffering from the effects
of j Chinese immigration : and if
nothing is done for them, they will
probably relieve themselves by car
rying on a war of extermination
against the Chinese and! rid the
country of the curse of vagabonds

THE lUNIVERSITY NORMAL
. it
j ; SCHOOL. . j
. As wjs have before announced, the
University Normal School has been
madei permanent institution by an
almost unanimous . vote of both
houses of the General Assembly.
The sentiment in its favor (was so
universal that not a word was said
in opposition jto the bill. . This .is
certainly a great triumph to all con
nected with it the Board of Edu
cation, the President and Professors
of the: University, the Superintend
ent, Professors, and Lecturers of the
Normal School, as well as those
who attended as pupils, who by
their good -conduct and strict atton
uon to duty, made me school a
model for all other like institutions.
President Battle tells 'us that he as
cribes much of the extraordinary
popular favor awarded to it1 to the
kind and friendly attention M'hich
the citizens of Chapel Hill, especially
the ladies, paid to NorrnaliteS.
Without such . cordial treatment
their time would not nave beeu so
agreeably spent; and they would
not have gone home delighted with
our pleasant little village and so
thankful for their splendid opportu
nities for learning. JThe session of
1879 will be opened about tho third
week in June, and the people ot the
Statu may be satisfied that j every
thing will be done to continue the
good work so auspiciously j begun,
until every school j district in North
Carolina will feel its beneficent in
fluences. A programme will shortly
be published; showing the scheme
of the "University Normal . School
of 1879.' The only change made in
the law waslplacing females on the
same footiug as males, so that here
after female teachers will not be as
heretofore, visitors -only but de
jure, as well as de facto, members
of the School. '

and is 65 years of age. He removed
to Ohio in 1819 ; was granted license
to practice law in 1835 ; was a Rep
resentative from Ohio in 1844-'45 ";
elected a : Judge of the Supreme
Pourt of Ohio iu 1851 ; was Chief
Justice of that court from 1854 to
1856 ( the Democratic candidate for

to the United States Senate in the

elected in 1874. His term will ex

PUBLIC SCHOOL BILL.
The House of Representatives has
passed a school bill at last. The
law requires that the public schools
of the State "shall be maintained at
least four months in the year," and
that the Legislature shall provide
for their maintainanco by taxation
or othe lawful means. The bill
moreover makes it optional to the
County Commissioners as to whether
they shall levy a special tax for; the
amount required or not. This is
better. A large jtax for pubjic
schools, audi good teachers and
schools in consequence ought to
give satisfaction to every, true lover
of learning and those who a're for
