The State University.
Mr. Editor : J pradnated at the
University lietween tbe year 1850 and
lS80r and was a student of tutor, now
President. Pool. In the late political
corrWts f have acted and worked
with-the Conservative party. Upon
the -question presented, my mind has
uir.lerfr.ono no -chanjre, and should the
same issues be ajrain presented I shall
pursue a like course.- As. an alumnus
I have" always felt attached "toj the Uni
versity, and have silently but carefully
noted the discussions in relation to its
present organization. And now. as
a friend to mv State, to her neonh
to the cause of education', to truth and
justice, I ask a hearing i through the
columns of every impartial and candid
public journal m North Carolina.
A portion of the people of the State,
complain that the University ist not
what it should be, and refuse topat
ronize it. The leading public charg
es against it are that it has been or
ganized, and it is conducted in the
interest of a faction or party, and that
the Faculty are incompetent and dis
tastt ful. Let i s look calmly at some
of the leading facts. U)0ii the rati
fication of the new constitution the
Hoard of Education, as required," met
and elected a oaid of j Trustees.
There is ?to be one from each Countv
of the State. This Boaid of Educa
tion were all of one particular party,
and had been elected by the influence
of the colored vote, and this in times
ofr the most violent political fervor. r
They assemble and elVct a Board o!
Trustees. When thappointment of
Directors to the Insane asylum and
that fyr the Deaf, Dumb and blind
were to be made, out of a few there-
i was at least one colored maij on the
j Board. When this Board of Educa
j tion are to elect, not five but eight--
nine l rustees, and from all parts of
the, State, whom do they choose?
Look at it ! Not one colored man ! -
Not men prominent alone! in jxditlcs,
i nor,alI l;y. any .means ot the party in
dentSwatn ; as it was hardly to be
supposed that the two eminent gen
tlemen who filled the Department of
Mathematics at that time were incom
petent, his promotion under the cir
cumstances could only be regarded as
a well deserved and acknowledged to
ken of Superior merit. He had given
satisfaction as an educator, and on one'
occasion at Commencement.-it is alleg
ed that Hon, Dl M. Barringer, a mem
ber of the Examining Conimittee att
tenam.pf iriac ioors' examination 'oftTtC
a eiuss in Anaiyiicai Vjreometry ana
Calculus, "publicly stated that it was
the finest examination he had ever at
tended. With all these recommenda
tions by the former authorities " with
the fairest record as a student, as a
gentleman and a christian I minister,
the eye of the Board! were naturally
turned to hi hi. It is to be presumed
that most, if not all of these facts
were known to them and perhaps oth
ers equally favorable,1 unknown to me
Especially is this likely, since one
member of the Executive Committee
was a College mate of his, and a mem
ber of the former Board of Trustees
who had complimented him with a pro
fessorship ; another was one of his
old pupils, and the President of the
Board had been for many years in -a
position to give him an acquaintance
with such facts. At! least one mem
ber of the Board was a class mate and
several were his college mates and pu

And where is the man that would give
entire satisfaction especially if elected
by the present State authorities : ,

them respectful resignations from ev
ery member of the Faculty except Pro
fessor Pool. These they accept and
proceed to' organize the University.
Upon the day ff election thev discov
er that among various applicants for
chairs in the University, there is but
pne who has acted with the Conserva
tive party, lle'fails of an election for
any other than reasons of a partizan
nolitical character. Feeling the neces-
that not only had he
personally with the
his boyhood, and had been ! the only
member of the former Faculty who
had never resigned, but his immediate
family had been represented for a
longer period as students and patrons
of the University than, with j possibly
one exception, any family in the State.
It was believed that he was ! the first
man in Nortb Carolina wholn a pub
lished letter overjuslown name, had
suggcstecLthe'conuection of the Uni
versity with the public schools of the
State, and which had! been introduced
into.the new Constitution. Jt appears
tieWi efl?imtGnW.JisPresident Pool
from his boyhood, not only, has he :
borne an eminent part as an educator
in the training of thousands of young
nien uf this and other States; not
only jwas he the only one of the For
mer Faculty who never resigned his
position, lior severed his cennection
with the University,: bnt his immedi
ate family has been among the most
constant anu iaitniui I patrons oi tue
Institution, while he for the last tv en-'
ty years has filled as student, tutor,
profess r, trustee, president, more
honorable positions j under the for
mer and present board of trustees
than any man that ever lived. To
whqin in North arojiua or elsewhere
could the board of trustees more prop
erly have looked to take charge of the
University in its extremity ? j
Was the election of President Pool,
then, in the interest of a faction or
party ? Was it a reward for partizan
services ? ! He had not only repeatvd-
luev have Ions? aero nroved them
selves, or they would not have been
chosen. But even had they been plac
ed on. trial, they have not been allow
ed a fair sbfiwing. They found the
University closed. All know the dif
ficulty of reviving such an institution
when it has once gone down. It is
also known that colleges are depen
dent for success upon popular, favor.
They had no more than entered upon
duty than the press began to forestall
public opinion, by misrepresentations,

Thb Trustees have acted wisely and
should be ebmmendea .Xliapel inn
to wCntes alone. An opposite course
would have been fatal to it. And yet
the opponents of the Institution have
falsefv circiilatedj.be report that there
are nk'gro students, and even a negro
Profilssor, there. The Trustees select
a Faculty, a larger proportion of whom
are n
ees, or the anonymous. scribblers ic'tut Personalities. Most of them
were non-comoatants, ana inese per
sonalities ' were not resented. Their
friends forbore, and the evil has grown.
Under such circumstances they have
had no proper trial. The lack of pat
ronage was very natural, and they will
be allowed a much fconger time to build
up the University, than if their ene
mies had waged no such unjust war
fare. They arc laboring faithfully to
call students to the University and are
showing that it is worthy of patron
age, while others, contrary to their
Own interest, ' are seeking to " pull it
down. If the patronage of the Uni

such circumstances, the' blame cannot
be attributed to the Faculty, but to
those who misrepresent them.

sity of re-opening the Institution, they
proceed to select .fronV the names be
fore them.
They find that Professor Pool had
never resigned his place in the Univer
sity and his claims are considered.
It is known that he entered the Uni
versity at an early ge, under embar
rassing ; circumstances, deficient in
scholarship and among tbe younger
member of his class. Butaltbougn ne
I he came into competition with men
much older than himself, and there
were among his class mates more ma
ture minds than in any class that was
ever Known in the Institution, he nev
ertheless gradually gained upon them
until he received the .first distinction
in i early all his studies. ix months

mathematics taught in the Institution.
This dutyiwas never imposeu upon any
tutor lefore, however long he had serv
ed. ,IIe haiLbecn at least three times
invited to chairs in other prominent
institutions of learning. These he de
clined at the, earliest eolicitation ' o
President Swain and others of his
friends. He had been raised to an
Adjunct Professorship of mathemat
ics at a time when there were too full
professors in that department, and his
promotion left no tutor therein a thing
unprecedented in 4he history of the
University. This was done without
application on the part -of himsejf or
ly declined to allow; his name to go
before the people for; the most flatter
ing political offices, but was never
known, though frequently solicited, to
make a political speech, seldom to be
present at a political gathering, and
rarely- to allow a discussion of politi
cal questions in his presence upon the
public streets. When President Swain,
in 18C6 or 1867, published a series of
lptters of a no'itical character, address-
Pd to flon. B. F. Perry, of Sooth Car-
olina, it is known that Prof. Pool was
unsparing in his disapprobation of the
course pursued by tl c President, of
the University. While assessor of in
ternal revenue, bis appointment show
ed ho political bias, as the assistant
assessors in Warren, Granville and
Frauklin counties, land other of his
prominent officers, testify. Since his
election as President of the Universi
ty, this same unpartizan course has
been displayed. Though bitterly as
sailed by the Conservative papers, be
has treated all withj the most marked
courtesy, and the spirit of nis late pub
lications in the Sentinel over the sig
nature of "North Carolinian," meets
the approval of all. When distin
guished gentlemen were to be invited
to appear as lecturers or orators at the
University, he has courteously and
politely sought them from both politi
cal parties. "Whatever may be said
as to the appointment of his predeces
sor, Gov. Swain, it cannot be main
tained that President Pool was elected
as a politician, nor in the interest of
any party, nor as a reward for parti
zan services. His predecessQT spent
alive Graduates than was ever
befom known to the University. For-
mem our sons went to Northern
school-masters, and then to the Uni
versity to receive a polish from North-
ern I'rotessqrs. it was seiuoiii tne
caselthat a North Carolinian could re
ceive an appointment to a chair in
the yJniversityi At present the Pres
idebj, and nearly ever' Professor at
Davidson ollege are from other
States ; and yet the cry against the
Uni"eit is that it is under the con
trol of Yankees. The University is
at present understood to contain
amo ig its students the sons of mem
bers of both political parties and all
the leadinE Christian sects. But no
worn of complaint has been heard
that the Faculty have made an effort
to ii fluenee them in their opinions.
I be ieve there is really as little politi
cal c r sectional bias now in the Uni
yersity as at any former period of its
history. The' thinking people of the
State are beginning to understand the
true state of theCase, and to believe
that the outery against the University
arises from the fact that it has been
converted from a political into a non-
poli ical institution.
; ' The University has not been organ
ized, nor is it conducted in the inter
est )f any party, or faction. The Trus
tees are for the most part a body of
met whose positions are supposed to
lift them above partizan feeling. L hey
sboald be commended for having sep
ara' ed the races in the education to be
given at the University. Thev have
acted wisely in electing a majority of
assailed, and with the exception of
here and there a thoughtless or un
grateful soli, they are stranger hands
that strike her. -
It is' said that two prominent Trus
es, Judge Pearson and Mr Lassiter,
refuse to patronize the University, the
work of their own hands. What are
the facts?' Their sons at the time the

We simply wanted a man for ?henff

Mosby: No; they had nothing. , 1
believe that altogether ' they did not
pay more than ninety cents internal
revenue tax. The matter came up iri
court before Judge Hill. He decided
that the bond was worthless. What
do you i think Canby did? He apl
pointed Col. Boyd over again without
any bond at all, although we told him
we would be satisfied if he would de
tail Gen. McKibben, or any other regi
ular army officer, to act as" sheriff, bei
cause their commission would be some
security. I took a very active rart
in having CoL Boyd's bond broker
ana wnen tne matter was up in court
I pronounced it a Peter Funk affairj
and gave it as my opinion that Boyd
came here to swindle the countr. I
was also employed as counsel to col
lect a bill of over $409 which .Col
Boyd X)wed a lady in Washington
named Miss Smith for board or rent.
He said 1 was persecuting him. One
day I was coming in from the con ntryj
and happened to meet Col. iBoyd on
the road. I spoke to him in a friend
ly way, for I had nothing personal
against him, when he turned his horse
around, and said, Col. Mosby, if you
don't stop interfering -with my busi".

"Mosbv, if vou will go with me to
Pennsylvania I will prove you to bej

that I would hold htm responsible for
those words when he got to town. j
Correspondent: WThy did'nt,.you
fight it out on i the road ? . '.
Mosby : Well, I don't think that it
is quite the thing for two gentlemen
who have served as Cols, of cavalry
to make bruisers of themselves-" Be
sides, CoL Boyd is a man of about
175 pounds, and very athletic, while
I don't weigh over 125 pounds. He
