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 stitution for what she had done, and it was with little degree of pleasure, that he could raise bis voice in ber behalf. In reply to the obiec tion offered by the gentleman from 1 9 i ' ! VOL. XV. NO. U. 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.

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.

To the Mayor and Board of Al dermeu of Wilmington : $ - ' .- i 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 . DAN. il RUSSELL, ) I W.H. BAILEY, V Attorneys. March 8, '75. ED. CANTWELL, ) j j .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 marll-lt W. P.
