Dook ageuts, fortified with the official certificate of Mr. Scarborough, to the ffct' that certain books repre sented by them had been selected by the Board to be used in all the public . schools of the state for a period of three years, veiled every section and per haps every county, of the state, inj' pressing upon school officers and school teachers the idea that there was too ap peal from the action oi the Board, and that such books as it had named must be used or none others. These efforts of the agents were supplemented by Mr. Scarborough' himself who lost no opportyuiiy for impressihg Ibfo sanie view.. ; All the prestige and powerof Ibis great office was and is, freely used in bol.-teiing up these new books and in creatifg the idea that it is unliwful for teachers to use any others. - With this explanation of their duty coming from the head of our state educational sys tem, the local Boards of the various counties proceeded to throw out the books in use and substitute-the new ones. When teachera complained of the worthless character of these books and the heavy expense which parents would have to undergo in order to inl troduce them, they were met with, the Sdperiuteiulenl's explanation of the law and the action of the State Board. Dissatisfaction and complaint became general.Mnd we are determined to probe the mailer to the bottom. ; r ''But,the. Governor bas again come to the. front. This time he uses the Keus and Obtcrrcr and makes substantially the same statement, so far as the mat ter in controversy is concerned, as that given in theZfawcr. Butliot content with thi?;' LI is Excellency goes a great distance out of the way t impugn the motives of some one,lhe editor of the Post perhaps, forrevex haviog brought this matter to light. We hardly thought in the. beginning that his Excellency .would approve our course, and it was a ' matter of little anxiety to. us whether he would or .whether. he would not. :As a public joarnalist, and a free citizen,' we were called to the performance of a high duty to the people of the jstate, and had the courage to set about the woiki regardless of the smiles or the frowhs of even Governor Thomas J. Jarvi.-t. We have asserted, and we Re lieve, thaflhe pction of the State Board was in the interest of a "bofk ring." If this U not so, theus circumstances re of but litllo weight in arriving at con clusions. It should be remembered that this is not the first time that - this question has been before the people of North Qa.olii,a. Several years jtgo wnenlie then Stale Board of Educa tion merely -recommended' -a series of books tor the schools of the state, the Democratic press and politicians raised a furious yell of denunciation of the Board for its action, resorting to all kinds of misrepresentation! of the books ; recommended, and did all in thei' power to defeat iu end in view. Ttie chief objection to these books was, that they were .' Yankee" books and were therefore uuworlby to be used in Southern schools. To meet the de mands of this sectional prgudice iu this and other states, the ''University Series" came into existence. "From the time of their appearance and even W for, ttuir publishers and scents have W,8H a persistent and a bitter war of ex'.trmination against all; northern text books' in all the soulhern states, appealing to the worst passions and prejudices of the southern heart. The southern, t utes have been completely flvode4 with circulars con tainiog mis- represeiutioDs, .vilifications and de nmciatbns of the ""Vankee" books; and the "University Seriea" of books have been wt up by their publishers as purely southern, basing their claim to southern paUonagc upon this one fact and none otter. Speaking of these boks and the claim set forth ia their behalf acdvhe efforts which were be- og made to Krce Jihem into southern chools wilht uj. rtfernc to their merit over other rubUtUons.M Trot Bej.

It has always ap peared to me that , in the choice of a text book, the benefit, of the student, and not of the anthor or publisher, was to be consulted; and I: have according ly always sought to select the most suitable, not inquiring and not caring where or by whom it was written. -It has been said of literature and science that thejr know no north, no south, no east, no westl They are, and of right ought to be catholic. That the princi ple may remain - perpetual should be the wish of every friend H learning and of human development;" These are wi.e and filly utterances of a representative southern educator, agaiiist whom the most bitter section alist will not dare?o"y birg.le word. But tfcia ia rot the f nl' iouihern man of character, of ability, of influence, who has spoken . cut against t-ectional text bpoks, and In condf mnation of the method3 used to force ji;to our schools the bop ks in question. jWhen the fight was going ttn in Georgia; the Christian Index had this'tb say : 'yiv intention -is' not lo rcfifct upon ttie ''University Series,' bat lo repel a cartlessly-inade charge tli;it the school books generally introduced are almost without exception uufair and preju diced in their treatment of; the south, its people and inssti ii'ious.

Some of our colored friends were not satisfie! with the call, so they called a delegated convention, and went to wcrk and held meeting?, and went through the lofm of electing delegates, and at 10 o'clock yesterday they took possession of the court house, and with about one-third of the county represented, proceeded to fillj the vacan cies, and then elected delegates to the Goldsboro convention. It Would seem from what we can learn that the jeal ousies , of certain individuals toward each other were brought to bear in this clause, and we congratulate the friends of the mass convention on the good taste displayed in refusing t& create any disturbance.
