pi .t I ! TVIH. II. BERNARD. k ........ i , . CICERO W. HARRIS V Editor. Tuesday" Morning, Feb. . 24, 1874. ... , , THE UNIVERSITY. Wo hcpe (that the efforts of the Trustees, who lately met in Raleigh, rwill be, warmly supported by the peo ple of the State and the large society of the old University alumni in the country at large. There are so many reasons why the University of North Carolina should be revived at an early day, and these reasons are so apparent to the thought ful mind, we confess to difficulty in preparing a statement of the argu ment. The very multitude of strong things to be said makes it difficult to say anything. Perhaps the general proposition admitted every where by persons of intelligence, that the Uni versity is as necessary to the complete educational system as the primary and high schools, is sufficient to build upon. I The success of the great Universi ties of England and Continental Earope, some of them founded as far back as the twelfth century, or even earlier, should argue with cogency in behalf of the higher education. These schools were first cloisters, then real seminaries of culture, finally broaden ing into arena for the development of the higher powers of minaand taste. From weakness they have grown into vast corporations with almost inex haustible resources. From a tabular statement of the German Universi ties, prepared r semi-annually, we ob tain some statistics of value. There are twenty Universities in Germany, the total attendance on which is slightly over seventeen thousand. The average is 861i. The total num ber of instructors is 1,673, the average being 83. Berlin, the youngest ex cept one of these seats of high learn ing, has the largest attendance, 3051, with a faculty of 185. Heidelberg, the oldest, has 883 students, with 108 instructors. The date of the founda tion ef these schools is from 1,380 to 1,818 when Bonn was established. The attendance upon American Universities of course is not as large for obvious reasons. The facilities for instruction are not as good, and the country is yet young. But year after year shows improvement in the older Universities and Colleges that are of highest grade, such as Har vard, Yale, Brown and the University of Virginia. And the younger rivals, Ann Arbor and Cornell, are rapidly rising to an equality with their older sisters. The Washington-Lee Uni versity, of Lexington, Virginia, has also since its incorporation as a full university taken a high rank among the institutions of the country. Grad ually as the country is populated and wealth increases the demands of cul lure grow, ana in a tew years we may expect to see the college systems of to-day in use in most of our Uni versities give place to the elaborate University system of Europe. Every thing at its proper time. As Bis- marck would say, you cannot hasten the growth of fruit by holding a lamp underneath. This latter remark leads ns to con sider the character of the University demanded at this, time in North Car olina. If the fruit is not ripe, it is nearly .ripe, and while we would not hold the lamp of Germany under it to hasten the time of its maturity. , we would tenderly guard it until the full day of ripening shall arrive. We would have such a Highest School in the Old North State aa the people need and are able to sustain. There m no reason we are wining to ac knowledge why Virginia and Georgia should have universities and North Carolina be content with colleges. hese answer some of the purposes of the higher education very well. Davidson, Trinity and Wake Forest are all doing a noble work. liut tnere are requirements of high culture the mere college can never supply. . The ample means; the combination of schools ; the vast la- i KAVAf AVIAd llk.niHAn uviovuuw, nuiaiifM, museums; tne extensive course of lectures on all things knowable or profitable these and other advantages of the univer 1 Bity are not enjoyed by the coHege. Nor is it desirable that they should be; the functions of the two instita- tions are entirely different. And yet the former includes the latter. The scope of the college ' is narrower, though complete in its sphere. The urnvsruuBnouid provide the best academic and professional culture possible.

De open to all; its examinations severe; its honors difficult. , ; z- 4 Suoh, briefly,' : should be the Uni versity of North Carolina when it is revived. If its friends shall goto work in the proper spirit such a Uni versity can be established. The pride of -every true North , Carolinian, whether he be at home or abroad among strangers witn tne 01a love burning in his bosom, is involved in this matter. ' Let Hhere be a strong, united, determined effort to effectuate the purpose, which accomplished will materially assist the old State in her progress and add lustre to her career. ONE OF THE KINGS THIEVING. Railroad Kings are not the purest of men. It is seldom, however, thev are obtuse or inept enough to be over taken in their little faults. Last week one was discovered to be an embez zler, but he fled before apprehension, and is now in Canada, accompanied, so it is said, by his "supposed wife." The investigation's not complete, but enough is known to estimate the amount stolen bv false entries at near ly ahalf million. Rush R. Sloane, Presj ident of the Cleveland, Sandusky and Cincinnati Railroad, is the man. It seems strange that he should -have been satisfied with so small an amount. Now if he had walked off with four or five millions, it might be that after a few years a general amnesty act would be passed by the Legislature, as was done in the case of a notorious criminal of wealth in California some ae ago. Truly this was; a modest Sloane. THE LAST OP THE LOWRBYS, The career of the famous Robeson bandits is over. A special telegram to the Morning Star from Laurin- burg announces the death of Steve Lowrey, the last of the terrible band The fearful five have, one by one, bitten the dust. Vengeance is satis fied. The tale of the Lowreys, of those terrible deeds of assassination, butch- ery and midnight pillage and ont- rage, will be told to the young and handed down to posterity as a legacy of a disordered time. "When Jack Sheppard, Murrill and the most famous Italian bandits are spoken of, then will the Robeson outlaws, and especially their dread chief, Henry Berry Lowrey, be remembered. Society is happy in the riddance of such pests. With the last of the Lowreys we hope there will be im- munity forever from predatory and ferocious gangs in North Carolina PERSONAL. " Waldfned" is the title of An- erbach's forthcoming novel. A Tribune editor lately married into $4,000,000 worth of railway stock. The new novel of Victor Hugo. " Ninety-three," was to be published on the 19th inst. Dr. Schliemann will soon pub lish his report of his discoveries in Asia Minor, in -excavating what he supposes to be the site of the Homeric Troy. The South Carolina Taxpayer's Convention attended the funeral of the journalist McCaw in a body. A resolution was also introduced by Ex iov.

It is a proverb in the West that it is easier to turn prairie into timber than timber into prairie. A Denver man charges a dime to let vou see his petrified errand father. A Coffee county, Kan., girl of 8, weighing -180, is alluded to as a "smasher." Mr. Thurman did not make his appearance in the Senate chamber in the financial discussion Friday, and the uncharitable ones said that as prospective . presidential candidate that sagacious politician thought it was the part of wisdom not to appear on the record. An old man of seventy-four was recently arrested by the Paris police as a vagabond; he had sought a night's lodging in an empty omnibus at the stables of the company. On being taken to the police station he turned out to be a nephew of Danton, the notorious tribune of the great revolu tion. Trousers ?! readies.

FINANCE. , Debate ln-f be Senate on Friday Gor don and. Merrlmon make Notable Speeches. rWashington Letter in New York Herald of Saturday. The Senate added another interest ing day to its proceedings in the dis cussion of the finance question. So far as relates to the contest on the main proposition of inflation, which has invested it with so much import ance, the Kubicon is passed. The voting to-day gave a slight and, per- hapSjventually a iruitful victory to the South and West in their efforts to secure more abundant currency cir culation and to-day the temporary triumph of the anti-inflationists was reversed in the bare carrying of the amendment of Senator Merrimon, pro viding for a 46,000,000 increase of the currency. At the opening movement of the contending forces upon the works of each other, a rattling fire was delivered. The motion was made to reconsider the vote whereby the amendment of Senator Cooper was yesterday carried by a viva voce vote, which provided for the convertibility of United States Treasury notes into gold coin or five per cent, bonds of the United States, and also for free banking under the provisions of the national Bank act. lhe question of reconsidera tion again opened the floodgates of financial oratory, and the debate took the same courte as yesterday. Pre paratory to the vote Senator .berry, of Michigan, who is a vigorous de bater, with youthful fire and vigor, led off. He was followed by Senator Merrimon, and he in turn by Senator Schurz, until it came to the vigorous and unyielding Senator Conkhng, who has kept out of the debate and has reserved his vote on every test .until the last. He was, for this reason, un kindly spoken of as being a weather cock by some officials who were dis cussing the finances ift the lobby of a hotel last evening. In his measured style of enunciation, faultlessly at tired and of commanding appearance, he gave a clear and logical explana tion 01 his. idea 01 the course and fluctuations of the finances as thev affected the circulation and the Treasury Department and as they re lated to a healthy and substantial con dition. Senators Morton and Sher man continued the discussion briefly until Senator Cameron, who has been a most attentive observer throughout, took the floor in his best vein of argument. Smarting under the de feat of his amendment yesterday, he attacked the "hard cash" resumption ists and made a strong presentation or reasons tor more abundant circula tion in offset to the positivism of Seu ator Conkling, who, although he made a strong impression by his phy sical gesticulation and strongly put arguments, did not influence the dis- ing vote an iota. Random de bate then occurred, in which Sena tors Logan, Ferry, of Connecticut, Sherman, Allison, Morrill, of Maine, and Jberry, of Michigan, who protes ted against the resolution in any event going to the committee without in struction, as they were avowedly op posed to expansion. The events of the day were speeches from Senators Merrimon and Gordon, the former of whom went over an exhaustive analy 6is of the modus operandi of bankin; and the influence which expansion would have upon it. Senator Gor- den made one of his best efforts in favor of increase of circulation, and vigorously attacked, in his trenchant style, the anti-inflationists. He gave some unsparing home thrusts to the bankers as a body which he charac terized as a monopoly that should perish, lie assailed the arguments of benator Uonklmg with unrelenting seventy, and with some very pretty imagery closed his excoriations of the accumulated money influences, asserting that the laboring and industrial classes had drawn the sword against the bankers' monopoly, and would not sheathe it until it was destroyed.' He evidently has no love for the Eastern concentrated capital influences, and would like very much to see them ignored. Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, attempted to bring the discussion to a close by moving that the original bill and amendment be laid upon the table, which was lost, Senator Stewart then made a "hard cash" appeal, which drew from Sena tor Cameron a rejoinder that it was a reproach to the country that the argu ments used by the anti-inflationists should be made in Senate. A vote on the motion to reconsider the amend ment of Senator Cooper was then called for, and it was carried, the " yeas" being 32 and the " nays" 23, and the amendment was defeated The question then 'recurred 011 the amendment of Senator Merrimon to the motion to recommit the bill offer ed by Senator Shermuii as Chairman of the Finance Committee, which amendment is to the effect of adding an increase of $46,000,000 to the cir culation of national banks, so that the whole volume shall not exceed $400,- 000,000. lhis amendment was adop ted by an affirmative vote of 28 "yeas to 'zo "nays, which was greeted with quiet satisfaction by the inflationists and with some chagrin ty tne opposion. i he result was evidently not expected by them, nor hoped for with any sanguine feeling by those tavanng expansion r but the Senate :were disposed to have it out, and either Bide was prepared for a decisive vote, one way or the other. Senator Conkling, hot le.s than Sen a- tors ochurz and oherjrian, was disap pointed. This is the- first - progress made by the expansionists m the Senate, and no doubt it will be fol lowed up energetically, and their ranks will Teceive some additional strength' The V hard cash" men have made a splendid fight; Jail through. The powerful advocacy- and re'stec- cj table constituency which their cause has had have left no efforts unem- oloved to secure the success , of their opinions: in action; ; Tba cenes of vim vuuug gives ueituer mue mucu 10 deplore or rejoice over. The contest ia not all over yet, by any means. Spring Styles of Ladles Dresses. Fashion correspondents in Paris say that a marked, indeed, a startling change in ladies' dresses will be at tempted at an early day. The skirts of these new costumes are to be short enough to clear the ground all around. No polonaise or tunic, but three or four flounces n the front breadths and one very wide in the back will give the required dressiness. Over the back breadths will fall a full, per pendicularly plaited demi-skirt as a substitute for the pout now so fash ionable. This will extend only to the hips, leaving the front breadths un covered, save by a long pointed cor- sage. lo the back of this corsage will be attached a square plaited basque. This striking change, dis carding all the forms that have been so popular for several years past as to require only a slight alteration to render them acceptable each season, will not probably be generally adop ted. A Suit for tbe Recovery of Richmond. Richmond is about to be gobbled up by a gentleman in Mississippi. The Louisville (Miss.) Banner of the 14th instant says : "Our old friend, Colonel W. S. Boiling, informs us that he has received a letter from his attorney, in which he states that there can be no doubt but that the Colonel will recover the ownership to nearly one-half of the city of Richmond, Virginia. If he gains the suit he will be worth more than ten millions of dollars." Colonel Wm. S. Bolline is the Mayor of the little town of Louis ville, Miss. He went from Peters burg to Louisville many years before the war, where he has since resided and practiced law, and is considered a lawyer of ability. He is a relative of the Petersburg Boilings. ' .Land titles are as well established in Richmond as in any place in the world. We are curious to know the facts and figures which are relied on in support of a claim such as the above.
