THE UNIVERSITY AND THE LAND SCRIP.
1 At 11 o'clock the House bill in re
lation to the Land Scrip Fund for the
establishment of Colleges for the
benefit of Agriculture and the Me
chanic Arts, taken up as the first
special order.
Mr. Mebane replied to the remarks
of Mr. Boyd, who spoke against the
! bill a few days ago, in which he (Mr.
; M.) defended-the County Commis
sioiiers against the sweeping charge
that they were responsible for the
misappropriation of the school fund,
lie then proceeded to show who it
was that squandered the funds, charg
ing that one Lassiter, known in the
slang vernacular of that day as " Kil
dee" Lassiter, Treasurer of the Board
of Trustees, composed in part by W.
Wi Holdeu, Wm. F. Heuderson, John
Pool and other like luminaries of .the
dark, days of 18G8 't$y, manipulated
these bonds with Bain & Co., .a firm
name that is a synonym for fraud,
fcc. Mr. M. proceeded in -explanation
of 'the bill and its objects, and
appealed to the House to support it.
Mr. Mendenhall offered an amend
ment to strike out all the first para
graph of the preamble after the words
'"were invested," in line 14, and in
sert the following: " In securities,
some of which are void and all of
which are unavailable, whereby , the
aforesaid fund of one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars has be
come impaired."
By this amendment the special tax
bonds are in no way meutioued or rec
ojrnized. -
Mr. Moring thought that with the
nr l 1
amendment onereu, no oujeciion
could be urged against the bill, and
. hoped it would pass without opposv
tion.
Mr. Pinnix warmly advocated the
bill, with amendments.
Mr. Erwin said he was pledged to
his constituents never in any way, di
rectly or indirectly, to cast, a vote that
would recognizftthe special tax bonds.
He claimed that the bill was an mdi
. rect recognition, and argued the point
at some length. ,
- Mr. Strong, as an alumnus of the
University, said be could not let this
opportunity pass without making one
effort to raisa-the dear old University
from the dust in which she now slum-
Uf rs. iic uuiiuiea mat giunuun uiu m

and it was with little degree of

McDowell, Mr. Erwin, be was at a
loss to know how he constructed the
bill as a recognition of the special
tax bonds, after the amendment offer
ed by Mr. Mendenhall, and claimed
that it did not directly or indirectly
recognize them in any way. Mr; S.
proceeded to discuss the general
merits of the bill: and warmly advo
cated its passage.! j s i;
Mr. Erwin replied briefly, main
taining his position. i i - j
Mr. Boyd replied to the argument
of Mr. Mebane. He denied charging
upon County Commissioners the ! re
sponsibility of manipulating this land
scrip to its detriment, &c. '
Mr. Spears advocated the bill at

Tiie DtmocratiC-Coflseivatives of the
First Ward assem bled at Lippitt's Hall last
evening pursuant to a call of the delegates
who withdrew! from the nominating con
vention of j the previous evening. It was
one of the; largest and most earnest political
gatherings! we havel ever seen in Wilming
ton. ; j- I
The meeting was called to order by Maj.
C. M. Stedman, on whose motion Mr. C.
H. Robinson was called to the Chair; and
on further; motion Maj. James Reilly was
appointed Secretary. ' ;
j The Chairman having explained the ob
ject of the meeting in an appropriate man"
her; and Capt. I. BL Grainger having given
an, account of the circumstances under
which he
i . .
from the
and his. co-delegates withdrew
.j
nominating convention, Maj.
Stedman offered the following resolution,
which, without discussion, was almost
unanimouslv adopted:
j Whereas, At a meeting of the nominat
ing convention held last evening, a majori
ty of the delegates from this ward were not
allowed a voice in the nomination in conse
quence of the actions of the delegates from
the other wards, be it resolved: - That we
the citizens of the First Ward, endoise the
action of our delegates, Messrs. L B. Grain
ger, N. Jacobi, H. Vollers and James
Reilly in withdrawing from said nominat
ing convention and; declare that we do not
regard Messrs. Kerchner, VanBokkelen
and DeRosset as the regular nominees of
our ward. - -t ' . f;
Maj. Stedman then offered the following
resolution : .'-I j' ; j 'j .
1 For the sake of harmony and to prevent
division and strife in our party, we will not
oppose the election! of Messrs. Kerchner,
VanBokkelen and DeRosset and will make
no opposing domination.
Maj. Dtedman advocated tne resolution
n an earnest and feeling speech. He
heartily endorsed tne first resolution adopt
ed; and, after alluding to the gross injus
tice which he contended had been done
a large majority off the Democratic-Conser
vative voters of the First Ward, begged the
meeting to adopt the second resolution for
the sake of harmony and good feeling in
the party, i !
After some further discussion, the reso
lution was voted down by a large majority.
After a determined effort, a reconsidera
tion was secured; but it seemed like leading
a forlorn hope to prevent the nomination of
a new ticket. Anpverwhelming majority
of the meeting were clamorous for; a new
ticket at this stage of the proceedings and
it was only after most earnest and vigorous
efforts, made by Maj. Stedman, Col. JLW.
Atkinson, Col. E. p. Hall, Maj. T. H. Mc
Koy, Capt. I. B. Grainger, Mr. A. Adrian
and Mr. N. Jacobi that the resolution not
to nominate was adopted. .
, After three cheers for Messrs. Adrian and
Grainger, the meeting adjourned. i-

No. 2093, has arrived safely to hand. Allow me to
thank yon for the fidelity with which yon carried oat
my instructions. The general outline, teauty of
t proportion and excellent finish, are all that could be
desired, and more than meets my expectations. I
am more than ever impressed with the idea that it is
as necessary for a man to have a gun built to meas
urement as to have a boot so built to ensure a good
fit The pattern 175 and penetration 40 are very su
perior. The pattern is as close as I desire, and; the
penetration I think is seldom attained, being far
ahead of any public record which I have seen, i

VOU ASK OTJB OPINION AND ADVICE AS
X to the rights of 3 oar; Board in complications
growing out of the Legislature concerning! year
charter, t -' - I i
Judge Pond, of the Circuit Court of the United
States, has decided that the election of the 11th of
March cannot be enjoined. : His decision proceeds
on the eronnd that- iniunction ia not the Broner
remedy to enforce the right of yonr Board, nor of
tne electors. Be naa aeciaea notmng oeyona tnis.
We are of the opinion that the election of the 11th
of March Is void and confers no title on those
claiming ender it. ; : i
We concur in yonr feelings and sentiments against
holding disputed public offices without the sanction
of jndiclal authority. We understand you to say
that you desire a settlement of the controversy; it
possible, before the time arrives when those claim
ing under this election will assert their right to pos
session of the city government. - To effect this It is
only necessary for the claimants to bring their ac
tion, and, under your instructions, we will take no
advantage of the law's delay but, on the contrary,
will afford every facility to have a full and complete
settlement of the case on the merits at the Jane
term of the Supreme Court . M
In the meantime, we advise that it is the right, of -your
Board to hold possession of the corporation.
We have an abiding confidence in a result of the
controversy favorable to yonr views. f .

.To the Citizens of Wilmington t ) i
Reports having been circulated In this city that it
is the purpose of certain persons, who expect tcibe
elected aa Aldermen to-day to capture by force and
violence the municipal government of this city4 I
do not believe that nciu attempt will be coun
tenanced by tbe law-abiding and eabatantlal citizens
of this city. Men who have in teres a and property
at stake ought not to countenance violence, lawless
neaa, riot, social disorder, and civil .commotionj I
know that many of the gentlemen "to be voted for
to-day will discountenance war and bloodshed, i
I write this card to put the Board I represent! in
their true position before the community. That po
sition ia this; We deny the title of those to be elect
ed to day. We ask nothing bat a settlement of our
rights according to law. This we not only ask but will
have. Aiy attempt to deny it will be resisted, and
on those who attempt it will rest the responsibility
for the consequences. j
... The attorney of the city and other counsel learned
in the law have advised that the new Board of Al
dermen will have no title antil August next flf
their election is not lawful they cannot obtain the
city government then. Our duiy is to hold the city
until the courts instruct Us to. whom to deliver it
We might take all legal advantages and bold file
city government for years. This we do Lot desire
or propose to do. So far from it we invite the ear
liest possible settlement. If the highest Court de
cides against us we propose to surrender on the very
day that the decision is made known. It can all be
done before August next. These are our rights,
and these we win have, i j
I call on all good citizens to discountenance in
temperate and violent action. This is aland of law,
and men cannot be deprived of their lawful 'rights
in peace. The gentlemen that may be elected to-day
have only to proceed according to law against us. j
