The same land, or another acting in concert with litem, then proceeded to ureenville, and entering the clerk's office in the Court House, , ilWicd a terrible destruction of the records snd I,, r ,lrM uiiieoU therein.' Wtare not advised as to the amount of damage Inflicted, but fear it will prove heavy, and cause much low tnd inconvenience to the county. Occ urrence of thin kind are calculated to re flect mtv seriously on a community, and in ad vance nf puWtertkm, we rerord it merely to vin dicate the (food people of Pitt from the charge ,, lawlessness, that will doubtless be urged aninsl them. These banl of highwaymen are composed of those men who deserted the Southern Army , luring the war, under the influence ot those ol a letter class, who cowardly incited and encour at'cd opposition to the Confederate government mi l fianv of whose teachings since, now lead to these, very result. The Raleigh Standard and in supporters are mainly responsible for this ut.. of affairs, which we fear it alarmingly on the increase. We have before urged the State authorities to take some stes in this matter, and ai the Leg islature is now in session, we doem it a wise and appropriate subject for legislation, and we call ..n that body to ffif tl their early attention, and most earnest consideration, for It is very plain that unless sfieedy action is taken, we shall, hare neither law nor order in that section of the Stite. - Wiltm Carolinian. The aUive discloses a tad state of things, which we have feared for some time, and one which demands the prompt action of the Leg islature We have urged that something be done .,ui klv, to relieve the people from the distress mg forebodings which are universally indulged bt the ilebtor class, of irrecoverable ruin, from the general disposition on the part of creditors ti obtain judgments at the approaching terms ot the Courts. We have private information, Ninmt any that it is positively true, that tlirrv are secret associations forming in various i unities whose motto is, or will I "bread or b'ood.'' There are undoubtedly in the Slate, a number ol mtsods, who are decided repudiator ol all indebtedness, both public and private. Many I theie have some influence, and by means of highly colored misrepresentations, mislead a Urge uuinlier ol ersons whose debts are small, l ut who would yielJ to correct teaching. But we htre no idm that the bulk f our people unction repudiation. The mass of the debtor lass need and rtquin time ; they are not willing that their property shall be sacrificed, ts it must be, by forced sales, when money is so scarce ; -moreover, they are burdened by the heavy coat which mint accrue il they are sued. They ask the Legislators, if we understand the general sentiment, and we think we do, that they shall be protected against ruinous costs and forced sales, thus rendering them totally unable to liquidate their debts. This we hope the Lt-gWIstttf en -eoustitationaily do, and will promptly do. Whatever is done should be lone at once. The Courts will soon be in ses sion, and Judgments will betaken unless speedi ly arrested. Again, the mortifying developments in Pitt county require) prompt action. That there baa lfn much lawlessness (or some time in the Kusu-rn counties. Is manliest The papers have announced the depredations which have been ' m milted, but the Barnes of the parties en .''iL'i'. in these acts, have not Iteen known or lisve Iwen kept from the public, The Execu tive lias not been inattentive to these notices. lb- has, to our knowledge, written to officers and others railing their attention to these mat tern l'p to this day, he has received no offi cial i ii formation tmm magistrates or Sheriffs or other officers, giving the slightest due to the perpetrator, of these offence.

The report of the committee was that of a bare ma jority, the bill being defeated in Committee by tbe casting vote ot the I halrman, when there was a bare quorum of the Committee present. Tbe report itself is a snliicient argument in lavor of the passage ol the bill, Ot all things it is most desirable to raise the credit of the State, and enhance the value of the State securities. The report- tf the Committee admits that this bill will have that effect. Then let us have it. Give credit and a currency to our people, en bance the value ol our Slate securities, and our schemes of improvement will I completed.

Bl'KC IAI. OKOEH. The House resumed consideration of the bill to traosfer tbe Land Scrip donated by the United Stats for an Agricultural College. Mr. Durham offered asubstitue for the bill. This substitute w a entitle d a bill to establish an agricultural and mechanical college. It au thorized a sale of the Land Scrip by tbe Public Treasurer ; the election of bcven trustees by the General Assembly said trustees to locate the college in the central portion of the Stute, but not in the vicinity of Chapel Hill, or any incor porate city or town. Mr. Long said that the merits of the substi tute had already been fully discussed. It was similar to that offered on the second reading of the bill (by Mr. Koard) w hich, however, held out greater iuduceuicuts thau the one now of fered. He hoped the substitute would be re jected, and the original bill passed. Mr. Dargan had, at first, been in favor of ap propriating this w ind-full to the establishment of a new institution, apart from any other col lege. An examination of the act of Congress had subsequently shown him that this Lund Scrip could only le given to an institution un der the control if the liegishittire, and that only 1 the interest ou the money could Im: used. He wished to know- it a new institution were erect- ed, who was to pay for the nceesry buildings, i and who would pay the I'rotcssors ? He whs forced, from a sense of duty, to vote lor tbe bill anil against the substitute. Mr. Durham addressed the House in suport of the substitute. He opposed the transfer of j the Land Scrip to the University, although he i lielieved such transter would lie made. The j friends of the bill urged the transfer to Chacl 1 Hill, mainly luiauwot' i h, i on-iitutii.ii.il pro- , vision which required the keeping upot the L ni versity. The University, lie said, hud not bn n i managed as k should be it bail lost tlircnnli ; dence of the people, and would not regain it Until its management was changed. Mr. Morehead asked the gentlciimn from I Cleaveland (Mr. Durhami whether he would 1 amend his substitute by adding a proviso, ma- j king an annual appropriation to the University j of $20,000, until the number ol its students ' should reach 400. Mr. Durham declined making such amend ment, j Mr. Morehead opposed the substitute at some , length, setting forth the claims of Chapel Hill, Its ittpenor advantages, etc. Mr. Davis opposed tbe substitute, defended the University, and suggested, in reply to the charge of mismanagement, that the institution being under the control of the State, investi gation as to the management of its affairs was at all times easy. Messrs. Everett, Durham and Henry addressed, the House in support of the substitute. The substitute was rejected by the casting vote of the Speaker, as follows : At KB. Messrs.

Tills motion did not prevail, yeas 5', nays TA. Mr. Logau offered a substitute for the bill, proposing the election ol seven Trustees by the General Assembly to take charge of the Land Scrip, to carry out the provisions of the act do nating tbe same, and report their proceedings to the next Legislature. , Mr. Cowan urged again the necessity of at tion by the present General Assembly, stilting that the act of donation required, within fire years, the acceptance of the Scrip and its nppropria tion to the establishment of nn Agricultural College under the control of the State. The Jlre years would expire in June next, dating from the pasaageef the act. He adverted to the alleged opinion ot Judge Itullln that the five years should le reckoned from the acceptance of the donation, but said with due deference to so high an authority that many gentlemen ot eminent legal ability entertained a different opinion.

Bill to change tbe jurisdiction of the Courts, and the rules of pleading therein, came np, the question being on the amendments offered by the Committee, which was agreed to. Mr. Avery proposed to amend by striking out, in the first section, the word six, and insert twelve, thereby giving a longer period to make the first payment. Agreed to. Mr. Speed, then offered to amend by striking out all after the enacting clanse, and insert his bill :i a substitute. (This bill provides, that the civil jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace, the County and Superior Courts of law and equity in this State be suspended, frera and alter the ratification of this act, until the 1st. of Jan. lS'W and that the civil jurisdiction of the Supreme Court be suspended to the tame data, and authorizing the Governor to appoint Court of Oyer and Terminer to be he'd for eyery county in the State, lor the trial of all violation of the criminal laws and statutes of the Stale, at leu-t, twice in each caunty in the Stute, between the time ot ratification of this act -nd the nlon said 1st day of Jan. 1868, and to appoint one of each of the Judges of the 8a ciior Courts of Law and Equity to hold the same in each of the Judicial Districts of the State under he same rules, regulation, laws and restrictions as heretofore prescribed for the holding of Courts of Oyer and Terminer, and authorize the Governor to convene the Supreme Court of North Carolina at the city of Raleigh, by and with the advice and consent of hi Coun cil, at any time after the 1st day of July, 1867, to hear and determine any criminal case that may lc brought before it, by appeals from the Courts ol Oyer and Terminer, and for no other purpose.) A discussion of considerable length ensu d, in which Messrs. Thornton, Speed and Pascliall favored and urged tbe passage of the substitute. Messrs. Wilson, Hall, Coving ton, Cowles, Cunningham and Avery, opposed the sul-tilute. They believed it to be fraught n ith much mischief ; a fatal blow to the judi cial system of the State, and a direct move in the direction ot repudiation, and held that this body had no authority to paralir.u the arm of the Judiciary. If it has this viwer, it lias the right to paralize the arm of the Executive. They, were tor the relief of the people, but op posed to unconstitutional measures. The remarks of Mr Thornton, in support of the substitute, will appear to morrow.

The House resumed the consideration of the bill to transfer the I-and Scrip, donateil by tbe United States, for the establishment of an Ag ricultural College. The question being cn the substitute offered by Mr. Logan, on yesterday, the clerk, at Mr. Durham's instance, read an act ot Congress, patted in 1866, extending the time allowed the several State, in which to avail themselves of the Land Scrip previously donated. Mr. Durham (aid that since the rejection ot the substitute which he bad offered, he prefer red a postponement ot the whole matter. The Land Scrip it told now would bring but' titty cents per acre. Delay would not be injurious, at the time had lteen extended, and the scrip would increase in value. He moved an indefi nite postponement of the bill and substitute. Mr. Cowan stated that he was not aware ot the existence of the act extending tho time in which the Land Scrip might be accepted. He was ttiTI opposed to postponement, and favored an immediate transfer of the scrip to the Uni versity. The opponents of the bill were hope lessly divided on the question of location, and he taw no reason why the State should lie out oi the benefit ot this fnnd for four years longer. ' Mr. Durham again addressed the House urg ing postponement. He alleged that the friends of the bill hail endeavored to press it through in hot haste at tbe last session, on the plea that immediate action was necessary in order to se cure the donation. It was new shown that haste was unnecessary. He slverfenlo prejudices ex isting against the University cruder its present management, and urged at some length to show the impolicy of bestowing the st rip upou that Institution. Mr. Davis stated in reply that it was well known that the friends of the Mil li.ol tiged its Eassage at the last session U-eause of iulormutioii y telegraph, that a resolution retracting the donation had passed one House ! Cong rem uo.l was likely to pass the other. Among other arguments in behalt i f a trans ier of the scrip to the University. Mr. Davis al -luded to the establishment at ( Ii .im I Hill of a department devoted to instruction in Agiicul ture and the Mechauic Arts. The gentleman from Cleaveland (Mr. Durham! h:fd character ized this action of the Trusters a a bid for the land scrip. If it " a bid for II. it showed that they had the interest of the Stute at heart. To the argument that the viilue ot the lands would be enhanced by delay, he replied that the State bad power to sell the scrip, but could not locate the lands. We could only hold the scrip as speculator!. Similar action hud resulted ia heavy loss to the St atfrot Rhode Island, Most of the States bad lianslerred their scrip to some established college, Iowa only, having founded a new one. Mr. Russ favored postponement. Owing to the distressed condition of the country lands could not be sold to advantage. The value of the scrip, wouM in his opinion, le materially enhanced by delay. .Messrs. McKay, Peebles, Morehead and Brow n opposed the motion to postpone, and favored the passage of the bill without further amend ment. Messrs. Everett and Crawford of Macon favor ed the motion for postponement. After a general and 'protracted discussion the House retused to postpone. The substitute was then rejected Yeas 47 Nay 68.
