IS THE UNIVBHSI TTT IN PERIL t The news from Raleigh is that .there is a disposition on the part of legislators to yield to nnreasoniW clamor and deal a fatal stab to i he University that for more than nin ty years has been educating the yoi th of North Carolina and the SouLh. Can it be possible that in the Tist 1 part of the nineteenth century--a ; century distinguished for its gr at I progress in education, in invention, in material resources, in the multiply i ing of comforts and conveniences J in i theBpreadof the truths of Revela tioncan it be possible that in snob a century the legislators of one jof the oldest of the Commonwealths shall be found willing to sacrifice that, institution which is the greatest ornament that North Carolina pos sesses and that reflects most credi upon the intelligence and progress- ive spirit of the people? Wei will not believe it. We have not fallen I nnon anv such evil times, we must i r : - - ' believe. It surely must be an nn just accufea I tion when it is affirmed that the pie of North Carolina in 1887, leas intelligent, less wide awake. rd less progressive, less appreciative of the 11 - a, u ' advantages of 'higher education than were the people in tbe last centu: than were the fathers of this. noble old uommonweaitnwno cany aeyisea ... . i s I plans for the instruction of the youth Of North Carolina, and in the ' tJM yersity which they established jjajjvo their descendants a grand example of high purpose and noble endeavor. We will not believe this' willingly of our own people. 1 Every State in the Union ia mal i plying the higher schools, and new bequests are being constantly made I. for the rich endowment of the old established universities and colleges, and for the starting of new ones. Will North Carolina smite its W sole State educational school and turn out the Professors who are bo earnestly and anxiously striving to ; make the University worthy of its . name and a great source of blessing to. the people of. the State? Shall tha'-nall sum now given annually for its sustentation be withdrawn, and its wheels Btopped or so! re tarded as to make it nothing more. than a respectable rival of denomi- national colleges? . . . ' ... i . I Ur shall witer and -broader and i more . generous ' counsels prevail, and all enlightened North Carolinians, rising above sect i i i or party or section, say with one . voice, "Let us make' the University better and better until it shall ,be equal to the best in the North to New Jersey's 'Princeton, or Connie- t,icut'sYale,' or Massachusetts 'Hiir- '. jard. . ., I ' Let no narrow, selfiish spirit domi nate the members of the Legislature. Let them take the Catalogues of all the years and see what manner jof men have been educated at the Uni i - i yersity, and what - places they have filled. In all the South there is but one school that can furnish an array. of eminent and nseful names that jjquals that of the men who have gone out from the ' halls of j oitr University. Presidents, Vice Presi dents, Foreign Ministers, Cabinjet Officers, Senators, Representatives, Judges, Governors, Bishops, Divines, Editors, Professors, Presidents of Colleges, Teachers, Superintendents of Public Instruction, men of science, Lawyers, Physicians, Generals, Colonels and naval officers of distinc tion men in every department jof human activity have been among; its students. Shall it come to pass after all of its usefulness, after nil of its struggles, after all of its. misfor tunes, after a night of darkness and despondency, when the auroral bghtj is beautif yins the East and the har binger of a brighter and more glqri ' . . , r i ous day is falling the whole heavens,1 that a hide-bound policy a den -spasm of economy that t 'i 8Qd4 I i pours in at the bung hole, and out at the spigot - shall azain lets send a dark cloud charged with destruction to hang once more over the ctaasio! halls of tbe University, and the Pro fessors, but recently invited to occu py seats in the newly created Chairs, shall be turned out to seek new places in other States in which! to labor for the benefit of their raee,ind of the ingenuous youth of the sjouW We hope not. Such a calamity would be a shock. , Nay, it would be a disgrace to all that should bring . it about. ; . j The University is the creation of the State. Let it be nurtured by the State. Let it be made each year to approach nearer and nearer to! the highest, ideal. It can be : done. it is advancing. In a twelvemonth the progress has been marked. There is no mistake as to xhis point. It has a splendid fu and In- ture before it if a it if a ereaerous fostering hand is extended to it. efABl f rAnnincr the Bnm now be- .f,ai onnnallv there ought to be s gradually as the plana widen and tne soppeoi its influence broadens.

States. ; : vv' We hope that intelligent Ripubli cans in the Legislature will not lend an ear to any cry for wiping put or reducing one cent of the preseotsam given by the State to the University. Will Democrats do bo foul an jaot? I TbeJSpard of Trustees in ,1885, tnemorialized the Legislature,in which jthey asked for an inoreaBe of appro priation for the purpose of enlarging r i the Faculty and creating three or more new Chairs. This was. done. Gentleman of ability, learning,; ex perience and high .character were selected to fill the new Chairs. They have for three sessions and more been discharging their important duties, and with marked usefulness and satisfaction. The course of in struction has been made more ) com prehensive, more thorough, j more useful. A great, work for North Carolina is doing. A splendid future lies bef ore the University. The Pro fessors are full of enthusiasm and zeal and joy over their appointed work. j Shall the new Chairs be abolished. Shall the Professors called to fill them be turned off? Shall the ex panding work be; clipped and nar rowed ? Shall the great Chair of English Literature be abandoned, and the gifted and accomplished Hume, the Professor, be asked "to; step down and out"? Shall the Chair of Modern Languages be abolished and the University ' cease to teach that of which every other University in the world makes a specialty? Shall the other ne w schools but just started be abandoned, and the great and ad- sannino work be "cribbed, cabined. w " z ' - confined, wilhin tbe narrow lines of fif - ? j j o Who says this ? What liberal, go true North Caro- ahead, progressive. linian will agree to such a case of de structionto such a sad case of li gen : nine hara-kiri ? ' j; ;' Will the present Legislature show itself lcssvappreciative of higher; edu cation than was the last Legislature? Will it show itself destructive rather than a builder u.p,a friend of advance ment, a. siiRt.ainpr of the useful and JO ; il Jf . v . . North Caroli4 do " Tr..-.:L i them Bay so? If they are less;, pro gressive, less intelligent, less appre ciative than their ancestor let them strike down the University aftor its ninety years of usefulness. L Either unite in making Ciapel Hill an University; in its high sense or let it b abolished. No mere rival of the denominational colleges or preparatory schools is needed.; But an -University, with its thorough Post-Graduate course, with its ample apparatus and with its numerous and comprehensive schools under men of learning and ardor and peculiar; gifts for imparting knowledge ia needed. What then say the members of the Legislature? What will all intelh- gent and true North Carolinians say? THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. The Stab is not opposed to such a Commission as is established by the railroad law of South Carolina, but it is opposed to the bill for establish ing a Railroad Commission now be fore the Legislature of North Caro Una and mainly because it proposes to give three men almost absolute control over every- railroad in the State. ' . .; : ; . f ' "r.: The annexed section of the South Carolina law, or rather its substance, if added to the bill now before our Legislature, would make the latter acceptable .to us, though there ia one thine that oucrht to be Considered: thfl iaw cannotaffect fre5ffhta cminff f rom or goiog beyoaa the Iimita of tha State; and we fear the merchants of Wilmington will have to pay higher through rates than they are no paying should the bill become a law. Here is the section from tbe South Carolina law: 1 "Pronded, however, That the persons (railroad companies) so submitting such schedules, Contracts j or agreements shall have tbe right of appeal from such findings of the Coumissioners to the resident Judge of the Circuit of which Richland county i iorms a pan, or tne preBiaine juoge oisaia Circuit, or if these be otherwise engaged or in any way prevented. to some other Cir cuit Judge, to be designated by the Chief Justice, or in case of his absence or inabil ity, by the senior Associate Justice; and the Judge hearing the appeal shalr render and file his decision withinjten days after uch hearing Notice of such appeal (hall be served upon said Commissioners within five days after service of a copy of said find ings, or the right of appeal shall be consid ered as abandoned ; said appeal to be heard at chambers' or In open court upon the pro ceedings and 1 testimony ! had before the said Commissioners, and such' other papers and testimony ai said i Com missioners may consider and think ad visable t add thereto, who shall file the same in the office of the Clerk of the Court for Richlaod county immediately upon re ceipt of notice of appeal as aforesaid; and during tbe pendency of any submission to the Commissioners, and of any appeal from the finding of said Commissioners, the rates of charges, schedules, contracts and agreements in force at the time such new or substituted schedules, contracts or agree ments are submitted to the Commissioners for their scrutiny and revision shall remain in force and unchanged until the final ad ludication of the subject matter of such appeal as hereinbefore provided.

"Blow winds ai d crack,your cheeks." " So the Stab has drawn down upon its head the terrific thunders of the Jupiter Tonana of-Wayne. It made a little fun over the rhetorical gush and froth of the windy old man, and referred to his poUtical summersaults and : harangues. ,. It did not assail his character fori. the old man has clean; hands we f believe. ' It only made a little game of his dilapidated and sickly politics, and his poor rhet orio that is Badly out at the elbows and needs constantly 'the help of .a nutting bottle , But the . oomments were like cayenne pepper and acids combined it seems, and tbey rubbed the orator on "the raw." We learn that the old man - was extremely bit ter in his denunciations of the writer of the pasquinade. But be is per fectly harmless. vHe may be violent; he may blow like a porpoise; he may bellow like a wild bull of Bashan andJ paw the floor and .whirl - his tail and look retd y T.o gore to death a news- paper man, but he "would " really not hurt an infant.- His amiability is in tense . and wide-spread. The whole boundless continent ia his. ' He loves all mankind, provided that it dpes not cost him any money. , When be blew off steam the other day it was only to relieve himself of excessivo pent np gas that was wor rying bis I "iiside8."The old man needs physic. He is bilious and his stomach is sour, and a ; box of Tuti'd pills and some soda would be the very thing for him. -Some char itable member bhould buy him the physic. Something must be done at once for him. If that speech ; did not relieve him of j snperabounding and inapplicable quotations and folly run to seed and rhetoric on a big spree, then his case is hopeless and the orator from Wayne must go the way of alt flesh. We fear that he is now only "a living dead man" and a "threadbare juggler" Brogden is not "schooled in boulted language." it appears, and bis metaphors are as unmanageable as were the horses of tbe sun on that- famous ride which Phaeton took a long time ago. : This great orator would be a posi tive loss to North Carolina if he should die. The sample would be forever broken. Administer a purge quickly. "V . ' ' ( But really we care nothing for tbe old man's wild railings and dirty per sonal abuse; We pity his sorrows and vexations, as we have a contempt for his want of political integrity and consistency. He is a very weak bro ther in white, grown senile with age and rust. He never had much sense. When presiding in the chair as Lieutenant Governor he bad to rely on Col. Win. L. Saunders, then Clerk of . the Senate, or upon his assistant, ' Plummer Batchelor, for his patliaraentary law. He was ab solutely so utterly obtuse his sem blance of intellections was so in volved in a dense fog of stupidity, that he could never see any distinc tions that were drawn, and he had always to be prompted by one, of the two persons named or flounder hope less and helpless. We have seen this often. It was to bis credit that he allowed Democrats to furnish him with the law in so far as a desire to do light was concerned. So what care we what an old dul lard shall say? It makes him feel "mighty good," and hurts no one, when he bears himself bellow, and sees Lis foaming sentences rolling and tumbling in a rushing,, maddening torrent before him; and as be rubs his bw tiling abdomen and puffs his ruddy cheeks, he smacks his thick lips and cries' out: "While tumbling down the turbid stream, Lord, love us. 7wv tee apples swim ". -We are beginning to tremble for the weary, office seeking old man of Wavne. ; We fear the fates are against! biro, and , that in a little while the places that now know him in politics shall know him no more forever. Onr fears are excite,d be cause of the old proverb of iEhchylus, thus translated by John Dryden: - , . .. "For those whom Ood for ruin has de . sisncd. . , -.- He fits for fate, ant) first destroy the mind.' Nothing can. possibly save Curtis H. from the tate indicated but the fact that throughout life he has been without mind of any kind, a flabby, pulpy substance having served that end after a fashion. Poor old man! Brogden, the', immortal, deserves a better fate, but his ambition "got him." When last heard from, after that fearf ul cataract of turbulent and billowy rhetoric, -fairly aflame. with curses -deep and ranting : dennncia tion, the old man was seen standing alone in his room 'before a looking glass, tricked out in his night cos tume, 1 with a dirty white cap on caput,-and thus he spake: "Farewell, a long farewell, to all mygreat- ;', nessi . - ... This is the state of me; to day I put forth' The bitter leaves of curse to-morrow comes the Stab - To strip my blushing honors thick unon me : And when I think, soft old man, full surely fiiy greatness is ripening, my root is NlDOed. and then I fall. I have ventnr'd L.ifee little wanton Doys that swim on blad- "' derS, i - -. i. ; : - -, This many years in a sea of nolitics: But far beyond my depth; my high-blown ' pride . : At length, broke under mo; and now haa . . leit me, r. v- . .p :; : Weary, and old with seeking, to the mercy Of the evil Stab and other bladder piecers. Vain pomp and glory of this world of poli- . tics: - - - . . It has more pangs and pains than women have. - . " My race is done; my poor garlands are withered. - ' Confound the Stab. - Blast that fellow!" - But when we come to think about it we feel a little regretful that we pricked the Brogden bubble.: lie js not a mean or a bad man.; We ..be lieve him to be honest, and that is a great deal to be said of any man. "His politics are - seedy, it is true; his rhetoric has the colic; his : grammar is in a wrecked condition his logic is bare footed and the toes are very sore, liut brogden is not a bad citi zen or a man of low character. He is only dull, intensely, .hopelessly dull, and with it he ia vain, ambitious and conceited. But he cannot well help that as it is a part of the man. We apologize to our readers for all this. We have no spite or malice to gratify. Our heart is touched with sympathy. t We feel as if we had been breaking a butterfly on a wheel or impinging a poor little fl on a pin. , TbeCboIerai In Bnenoi Ayrea. - : From the, weekly abstract Of sanitary re ports issued by the Sureeon General of the United - State Marine Eeepital Service, Feb. 1st, the following is taken : - The United States Minister, -at Buenos Ayres. repoiU:' -; ' - The cholera is on a steady increase here and has assumed more deadly features. Thirty-six new cases were reported to the. Board of Public Assistance or uuenos Ay res yestetdayj more than half of which died in a very few hours. - The worst" of all. lies in the fact or ita rapid spreaa tnrougnout the outside provinces.

Zuali, Bahia, Blanco, and Azul, and, worse than that, has gained a foothold on; the island of Martin Garcia, where 5,000 terrified immigrants are. de tained in quarantine, without sufficient food or shelter- We have great fears'of appalling results there." . Point is given the above paragraph by the fact ; that two vessels from Buenos Ay res are on the way to this port; the Nor wegian barque Hector and the Norwegian barque TeUrn. Both vessels Bailed from Buenos Ay res in December last In view of these facts the pressing neces sity for additional quarantine facilities at the station near Price's creek is apparent, and the action of the Quarantine ?Board in seeking to secure a sufficient appropriation from the State Legislature to erect the buildings and wharf required should meet with the warmest approval and commenda tion , ':dA t ' ' ' - - Tbe BlDebam Caae Asmln.

Thw is a strange declaration one of the' moat remarkable made about tbe whole affair.

As son aa the schooner -ETaU was cleared from the wreck of the other schoon er, the captain .made sail for Cape Henry, but at daylight the wind came on to blow, from the northward, and he was compelled to keep tbe vessel off and before the wind, and he finally determined to make for this port after he had made some temporary repairs. . j- The Linwood was comparatively h new vessel, having been built three years ago at Bath, Me. ; she was of 163 tons burthen and valued at $13,000; partly insured.

Ia Bingham at Home ' The , Durham Recorder says : "We learn from a trustworthy source that Walter Bingham, the murderer of Miss Turlington, has returned to his old home in Alamance county. This gentleman informs us that if the authorities wish to arrest him they can do so by making a diligent search in hia old neighborhood, i We give this for what it is worth, as it came from a man living in that vicinity.". This statement, in connection with one to the effect; that a man answering a description of Bingham was a few days since seen in Mecklenburg county, Va , and left, there going in a southerly; direction, is rather significant. It is at least a report that should keep the eyes of the authorities wide open, j Attempt to Wreck a Train on the Caro lina Central. " j- " A dastardly attempt was made to wreck the passeneer and freight train on the Car olina Central Railroad which left Charlotte, for this city at 8.15 o'clock Monday even ing. The wreckers had removed a rail from the track at a point two and a half miles east of Matthew's station and some fourteen miles: from - Charlotte. - Fortunately, the tfa'rn was running slowly at the time, and only : two box cars and the engine were thrown from the track. The engine and tender, however, went down an embank ment twelve feet high, and Engineer Meis enheimer and the fireman, a colored man, were slightly hurt. No one else, was in jured. The missing rail was replaced and the track cleared in time to prevent delay in traffic, and the damage to the property of jhe company will not exceed $1,500. A dispatch from Charlotte received last night, while it confirms the above, says that Engineer Meisenheimer and the fire man Alexander were dangerously if not fatally injured. -Pubile Schools. - ' The total number of children of school age in this county is 6,938 whites, 2,585; colored 4,853.

Mr. Vest, who is in charge of the bill, gave notice that after its being taken up he should ask the Senate to remain in session until it shall be disposed of. He said he bad been notified by five Senators that they desired to speak on the Eads bill, - but they , were not pna-. pared to speak to day. The House bill to prevent the imports tion and sale of fresh mackerel during the spawning season, was taken up and deba ted until 5.15.

On motion of Mr. Wheeler Senate bill was passed, witn amendments, appropri ating $50,000 .for the erection of a public building at Uuntsvule, Ala.. Slhe ultimate cost of which shall not exceed $100,000 The House went into Committee of the Whole on tbe Senate bill to indemnifv cer tain subjects of the Chinese Empire for losses sustained by the violence of a mob at Kock Springs, .Wyoming Territory on Sen teniber 2d, 1885. Mr. Morrow, of Cal., in quired whether it was the purpose of the Foreign Relations Committee (in case this bill waa passed) to call up to-day the bill re striding Chinese immigration I . 1 " Mr. Belmont replied in the negative. The Chinese Government did not desire to cm harass the relations between the two nations by the continuance of immigration.! and there was a disposition to modify the treaty so as to bring about results very much more effective than could be secured by legisla tion. With this assurance the committee did not intend to bring up the matter to- day. . y ..--.! - :.v;-- . , M In the course of his speech in favor of the pending bill, Mr. Phelps said the archives of the State- Department showed that the Chinese Government bad been always prompt and generous jn making payment for losses incurred by Americans in China. Recently, he added, news reached Shanghai mat tneciiy 01 unaneston had been shaken. not destroyed, by earthquakes, and last week the Consul General resident in Shang hai transmitted $1,260 contributed by poor Chinamen of Shanghai for the relief of the Charleston sufferers.- He could not recall mat while miscreants, and .not the act Of God, did not simply injure but entirely de stroy and obliterate the . village of Rock Spriogd, there had been any contributions from any of the . neighboring villages or towns in order to compensate the Chinese for losses which they had cruelly suffered. If the United States government were not bound, in view of the past history of the two countries,' to indemnify Chinese sub jects, it would be bound to do so under all treaty obligations. The respective merits of the Senate bill (which provides for the ascertainment i of losses incurred) and the House bill (which makes a direct appropriation '. of $147,748) were briefly discussed. Advocates of the Senate bill placed their advocacv unon tha ground that it would soon become a law and that the amount of losses could be more correctly ascertained. Advocates of the House measure contended that to pass the Senate bill would be to delay payment for twelve months. 1 . i!

To-day they met to lay the tribute- of their love on the tomb of Logan. Had he lived until j to day, olj years evenuui glorious yea would have rested their burden as a crown nncn his head.

Hampton said tnat none were more willing to pay due tribute to the memory of Logan than were those who had been bis political opponents. As a Democrat, a Southern man and a confederate soioier, be was called upon to speak of Logan as 1 ReDublican honored bv bis party, a North ern man who had given his blood to prove the sincerity of his convictions, and as a Federal soldier whose fame was as wide snread as it was fairlv achieved.

Four male members of. a family named White were pitted against Col. John E. Rosser, his son Willie, aged 15 years, and a hired man named Mullens. The affray re sulted in the killing of three of the Whites and Col. Hosser, and the wounding of Ros ser s boy. The affray occurred at the home of the Whites.

His son Willie was left with the dead men at the house of White. - Rosser had sold to White and his sons a tract of land for. which they had not paid. . Suit for ejectment was brought and decided in Kosser a favor. Rosser thought the writ had not been enforced promptly enough, and ne started witn nis son and Aired man to enforce it himself. : informallv. Rosser and his party were invited in,' when they reached the house of White, and after a few words the firing began. J. C. White and his two sons.
