By WILLIAM H. BERNARD, WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday Evening, Dec 13, 1884. EVENING EDITION. ABOUT TRINITY COLLEGE. At the recent Methodist Conference in Wilmington, a somewhat novel but evi dently a practical plan for the conduct of Trinity College was devised. It is to trans fer the management of the institution for two years to a committee of management, consisting of Col. J. W. Alspaugh, Mr. Julian S. Carr and Mr. Jas. A. Gray, of 500 a year for the benefit of the college; and the committee of management, which shall have the benefit of all tuition fees,. shall become responsible for $3,000 the first - two years and $2,000 the second year. Af ter the two years expire the committee of management retire, - having received no compensation for their services. - Mean whlla tho AT AtVirwisf a will nnnfinnD tliMr of- forts properly to endow the institution. Raleigh Chronicle. We understand that the faculty of the College hare resigned with the exception of Prof. Pegram, who will probably resign. If we . are cor rectly informed the three laymen named above, wili have exclusive con trol for two years, appointing the facultv and overseeing the manage ment. "For many reasons it was necessary that certain radical changes should be made. In accordance with the demand the above novel proce dure was adopted and, we hope will work out with excellent and most satisfactory results. The thing needed first ia money. Cheap education is better than no education, but you can not have su perior schools and colleges without money. When our people generally realize that fact there will be better equipped colleges and schools, high and common. You canhire a facul- j - " iivo juoii as you can purchase cheap shoes and clothing. But you will find that cheap teachers are not apt to be better than cheap clothing which is for the most part "shoddy." Endow Trinity College. That is the first step towards having a supe rior faculty, with excellent appara tus and all needed buildings. With over one hundred thousand Metho dists in North Carolina, including those belonging to the Virginia Con ference, beyond Roanoke river, and those belonging to the Holston Con ference, beyond the mountains, it ought to be an easy thing to raise $100,000 for the endowment of their only College. It can be done. If the preachers and people would unite and pull together, the endowment could be raised by the meeting of the Conference at Charlotte next year. We believe that five years are talked of as the time in which to raise $100, 000. Very well. Let it be done, and then you can have a faculty fully qualified and fully abreast with the times. .- : . The Baptists of North Carolina have endowed Wake Forest College with, we believe, $100,000. Through the liberality of .Bey. Dr. Skinner and .his father, who. gave each $5, 000, and through Vthe generosity of Col. Heck and the late John 6. Wil liams, who erected f a handsome building, aided; by many other friends, Wake Forest is on a solid basis, and is manned by a faithful and scholarly faculty. The Methodists ought to be able to do what the1 Baptists have done. They ought to be able to raise easily. $20,000 a year for five years. . Less than 20 cents each will raise that sum. There ought to be 1,000 mem bers in the State who would be will ing to give $50 each. There ought to be 100 members who would give $100 each. There ought to be 20 members who would give $500 each. There ought to be 5 members who would give $1,000 each. There ought to be even larger sums contributed. Let the whole membership be reached in some way, and the work of endow ment can be -easily accomplished. Davidson College is well endowed and has a strong faculty. - The Uni versity is prospering and is better than it ever was. It ought to have many friends among its alumni who "would largely aid in endowing it. Wake Forest is doing a useful work, and is on a solid financial basis. Trinity College alone is weak and shaken up. It ought to be well cared for. The Methodists cannot afford to be without a - College of a high grade. The only way to have it is to raise the money. When the Northern people wish to start any enterprise of importance or of utility the first thing they do is to secure the funds. That being done the other things are easy of accom plishment. Good salaries will secure good talents and ample learning. These in turn will attract the stu dents. . We write in the interests of higher education. We wish to see our State colleges among the best. We do not think any youth should be educated abroad or in any other State. It is a mistake. The boy who goes to preparatory schools and colleges at .home is forming friend ships that will last through life even down to' old age.; A man's- truest friendships are those formed in youth as a general thing. If he enters the ministry, (noblest of callings,) or be comes an editor, (which will not be apt to pay,) or teaches school, (a great field for usefulness,) or enters one of the professions, or becomes a perennial office-seeker, (a very poor business,) he will find cause to rejoice that he went to school at home, for all over the State will be leading men who were his school-mtes. If he goes abroad be forms acquaintances with men not many of- whom he will ever meet in life. Keraain at home during the period of youth and then stick to Hbrth Carolina. So every North Carolina boy should be edu cated at home. This: done and our colleges ought to.be Buccesses. YES AND NO. A prominent member of the State Senate, in a private letter, asks us this question: "Is there not too much tendency to break down our public men in the estimation of the people ? I favor open, manly criticism of their acts, but no attack upon motives until there is some positive evidence to base it. Do we not. in North 'Carolina, either overrate or underrate our public men ? Are we as candid and discriminating as we should be ? I merely throw out these en quiries; do not say that they should be an swered in the affirmative." 'We do not think that there is any serious "tendency to break down our public men." To the contrary we think the press has been long-suffering and , forbearing, especially to wards some of the party leaders. There are men in full favor with the best Democratic papers who have re cords that would not bear the light of day. No paper feels itself called upon to make ex posures or to be come the leader in the work of as sailing character, and so the leaders go on in their careers petted, magni fied, worshipped. We believe that since the war North Carolina has had men in office who ought never to have been honored as . they have been. . We believe the "tendency" in North Carolina is to greatly "over rate our public men" not all, but many. Within six months we have seen laudations of the ability of cer tain men that were fulsome and ridic ulous to the last degree. . Every man of ordinary observation and candor knows this to be true. There is in deed a sad need of "candor and dis crimination." Newspaper writers ordinarily let their adjectives take possession of them when they would write of quite an ordinary mortal, and those understanding the real meaning of words could not see from the language used why Hon. John McLane Commonplace was not . as great a thinker as Calhoun, as great a master of English as Webster, and as great a magician in enthralling the 'crowd as Prentiss. We think ithat there; should be more sobriety of r language in de scribing the efforts of men of ; me diocre talents. If you exhaust the adjectives over them you have no words left for high I abilities and great speaking power and a noble eloquence. We believe our friend is right as. to the want of proper dis crimination. The ' same words are used to describe John Smith, and Pe ter Wilkins, although John and Pe ter are very, unlike. Unless criticism: be just, fair, ' conscieptious, r pene-f trating, exact it is unscientific, nrd liable and," therefore .valuele HOW IT STRUCK A NORTHERN '; man. . " There is along article signed E. 6. D.,' in the New York Times of Thurs day,' that is beaded' "Stray Southern Notes." 'It contains more or less of error mixed with correct observa tions, but . , we ..think. ! (ruth prevails. Of the negroes he says:,! "In North Carolina, as in o:ber Southern States, the negroes have made the mistake, natural enough to an extremely ignorant, race, of concluding that the only course for them to pursue to maintain their political rights and importance was to force them selves into unnecessary prominence when no question about their rights had been brought up. Instances have been given of their insolent assertion of civil rights. As has been told of the negroes in Danville, Ya., so I heard of the Raleigh negroes that some of them were ill-mannered to white people in the streets." This applies to Wilmington as' well. There are negroes here as elsewhere who think they show their manhood and independence in bear ing themselves in an offensive way towards their, superiors."; - Many of . the women are unbearable and their insolence and bad tempter are dis played readily and without provoca tion. They always take the inside of the walk going and coming thus vio lating both Law and a good custom. They evidently think that the post of honor is to hug the fence. Another remark of the correspon dent is in line with some things that have appeared in these columns: "A fear oppresses some of the best men of the South that when the Republican par ty disappears in that section, and the whole vote, white and black, becomes Democrat ic, the control of affair j may fall into the hands of what is frequently called the 'hoodlum' element For the Democratic party in the South has its bad men, vulgar, greedy and without public spirit, just as the Republican party has m the North. Democrats admit that when the negro vote comes to be divided, and is to be swayed either by argument or money, the bad men with money will get the negro vote, rather than the good men with the best arguments and intentions. So long as the negro vote had to be opposed with the solid white vote the best men have been kept to the front. With Federal offices as well as local offices to fill, with national success flushing and making them careless, it is feared among prudent Southern men that the voters may find themselves in the hands of the 'hood lum' or vicious white class, and be brought face to face with a new problem scarcely less troublesome than that of the negro question." We think every reflecting and ob servant man will accept thia state ment as true. We are well convinced that the dividing of the negro vote will prove a far greater curse than their being solidly in support of white Radicals. Why any man who makes any pretensions to statesman ship, or who lives off politics, ma king it a study, can view with satis faction a division of the negro vote, is to us hard to understand. It strikes us as singularly short-sighted and unwise. THE TRADE OUTLOOK. Southern mills are advancing their prices for certain classes of goods and the demand is satisfactory. It is reported that the trade outlook in New York is improved. The mer chants are said to be satisfied "that hard pan has been reached." It is believed that before March goods will be higher, including brown goods, bleached goods, &c. In New England there is said to be btit little first-class goods on hand. The Man ufacturer Gazette of Boston, on the 6th inst. said: -Taken all in all, the general trade in cotton goods is very encouraging in its out look, although there is no money in it in the way of profit at the moment. Cotton has received a set-back from the fact that the speculators, supposing that some little confidence existed among spinners, - which was going to stimulate a great demand, at-: tempted to advance the price more than the' legitimate demand would warrant. -This at once caused a feeling of distrust, and the moment spinners stopped buying specula tors began to tumble futures on the mar ket. It has no more to do , with the legitimate demand and supply of cotton than the price of : first-class tickets to the moon and - return. The whole thing, so faf as cotton goes, is in a very healthy con dition, everything is" encouraging, and we look for a better feeling as- Well as better prices all around during this month." -; The worst feature is the alarming number of failures that are happen ing weekly. Alfred Tennyson is now 15 years old. He is by the united voices of the English critics the greatest poet who has lived since -Wordsworth. That he has written poems ; of con summate beauty and 'finish no one who has the least poetic taste and sympathy will gainsay.'. That , he has written poems that will live' as long as" the "English language is" al together probable, and that his genius is in decadence is perhaps f certain. Many of his shorter, poems - like" his "Spring" 'and "Freedom" , of the other day, show only; waning powers. His inspiration is gone, if we are to judge by such efforts, and still it is a fact that able English critics declared that his play of a year or . two ago contained work of, masterly metrical, excellence and a fancy that was deli cate and , exquisite. AVe have nofc seen it and give no opinion of bur own. .He has just published a long dramatic poem bnjhomas Becket, and .we await the judgment ot-British criticism "as to its merits. If it : does' jqot how failing ; powers it' will "be woTuJerful, as he would be alone amangold poets in that, particular. Men of seventy-five rarely have much imagination. v : A" ' - WBAT IT COST. I " The official correspondence of Mar shal Wright, of Ohio, full, fledged Radical, with the -Department of Injustice at Washington is an instruc tive document. He is the fellow who ran the Radical machine t iir the October election in Ohio. -The out rages committed by the deputy mar? shals went ahead of anything yet seen in American .politics. ; Repre sentative Warner,' of the 17th Dis trtct says: . . . ; . : "But I say this: That I do not think a campaign was ever, carried on anywhere in whicb methods, more eorrupt, forbidding and abhorrent were resorted to to achieve political ends than were resorted to in the 17th District of Ohio; during the last cam paign on the part of the Republican party." . This Marshal White has sent in his account to the Department of In justice and here are his own words: "In the election for Congressmen held in this State on the 14th inst., I employed for thisxity special deputy marshals as follows: J3even men 10 days each, 4 men 9. days each, 5. men 7 days each, 13 men 6 days each, 19 men 5 days each, 16 men 4 days each, 13 men 3 days each, 1,600 men 2 days each in all 3,572 days, for the payment of which it will require $17,860. I had to expend for transportation (absolutely neces sary), horses and buggies $76; street car tickets $3; 1.300 metallic badges $162.50; or ribbon badges (2,000) $51; for printing $169.50 total, $18,322. The people of the whole country are made to pay .such an infamous debt as that. Here is an opportunity for real reform. Wipe out the whole system of assistant marshals. It is a disgrace and an offence to all good citizens. It is a source of corruption and a means of oppression. The Congressional Record seems to be to a considerable degree a re cord of what does not occur. The Public Printer reports that during three Congresses and a half 5C9 speeches were printed as delivered in the liecord, not one word of which was ever spoken on the floor of either House. There were 1,183 speeches revised and substantially altered. This is a fraud upon the public and is discreditable. CURRENT COMMENT. j It looks verv much as if the Republican partv were determined to preserve their high protective policy at tne expense of industries in locali ties where their party has no influ ence, and id not likelv to acauire anv. By making commercial treaties they seem to oe aiming at reducing the revenue to such an extent that a gen eral reduction of the tariff will be im possible. While they have not dared to attack sugar tind rice directly be cause the could not do so consistent ly, they have at all times been will : n . t tt w uw ev, as iu xiawauan ana Spanish treaties-indicate. Thev have been vuick to call tariff reformers free traders, but in this policy . of making commercial treaties they have become free . traders in some things in order to sustain their policy oi protection witn regard to others.

The pur pose of one party also is not sufficient to render the contract illegal. That in this casp, after careful reflection, the court can find no evidence of the intent or the purpose of the parties wno contracted with Covington through his agent. That the burden of the proof is upon the defendant to show that the . contract was a gamb ling one, ana the court feels con strained to charge that upon this point tne ourdenhas not been met. The finding of the jury was in ac cordance with these facts. NORTH CAROLINA IN THE CABINET. Wilson Advance.
