Tbe pertinsnt resolution of Senator
Ferry, adopted last week in the Sen-
'ate, will decide an interesting legal
point,' now at issue between Congress
1 and the preaent incumberauce ' at the
White House. This resolution requires
the President to' state the authority un-
' der which his late Amnesty Proclama
tion was issued, and will bring the
whole nuestion 'up. An Autocrat can
g
thwart the will of the people; but if the
people's representaiWes haye the pow
er, under the Constitution, to make
laws gorerning the extent of this au
thority, then hai President Johnson
exceeded his duties in issuing his late
indiscriminate pardon. We hope the
discussion of this question will be with
out acrimony; and that in any event
the truth in lawepirit and letter, will
be evolved. . .,
From readin? : Mr. Washburn s
peecbJ delivered in the House of Rep
resentatives on the 6:h inst., we feel
safe in asserting that he has saunde J

Mr. Washburn for rigid economy in

- EDUCATION.
There is no'word in the English
language so broad in its significance as
this. It is as multifarious in its wprk
ings, and as endless in its progiess as
the phenomena of nature. Education,
rightly begun is never ended.
: How important is it that they who
teach the first steps to the young should
have : learned to walk themselves.
Think of a landlubber teaching the art
of navigation, and preposterous as it
seems, we have - its parrallel in our
common schools.
Can be teach the child to read under
standingly who is' himself unacquainted
with the first principles of elocution?
Good reading is indispensable. It is
the foundation od which the structure
rests.' It is the broad avenue to sci
ence; and is itself an art not easily per
fected, and more complicated than the
ignorant can imagine
Would you trust to unskilled hands
the block of marble designed for a no
ble statue? Friends of education, you
are not half alive to the importance of
this subject. The rising generation
demands more at your hands than it is
likely to receive.
The boys and girta of to-day are to
be tbe men and women of to-morrow.
They are to live in the future. Will
it do to educate them for tbe past?
Geologists study fossil remains with
great care to obtain a knowledge of the
past that will shed its light upon tbe
present, and develop a foresight of the
future. But living fossiles teach only
past ignorance, which the enlighten
ment of. the present should bury and
forget.
The masses receivo their education
(according to the common acceptation
ef the term) at the common schools.
It then becomes of the first importance
that the guardians of education select
cenipetpnt teachers for their posts.
Shall we ever rid ourselves of the com
plaint that school-sure backward while
teachers are employed whose know I
edge little escefds thrtt of iho children
tiiey attempt to teach?
I vi.iied n school, not long since,
where the spelling book was an enig
ma too hard for the teacher to solve.
And the maker of a mer.tnj ari hmetic,
eriJently, had aov considered bis phi
lo!ogy, fcr, in attempting o hear a
recitation he read, ' tailor had seven'
here followed n long pause in which
he appeared to be studying the anato
my of the word, wbich I inferred was
too complicated for him, as he nhan.
doned the task, .leaving' me to cocjec
ture what the "tnilor" had.'
Parents and friends of education in
general, how long is. this state of things
to continue? If you have the good of
y'our children and the welfare of yur
country, at heart you will not leng
slumber. . . . R. A. B.

HERD Llff.
Mt. Pleasaht, Cass Co., Neb
Jan. 4. 1869.
Mr. Editoi: As it is in fashion to
air ideas, I thought of trying my band
The man Con makes assertions that we
see fit to deny.
First, he says as soon as you pass
herd law you place every foot of land
under fence.
Second, the poor man will have to
sell his stock for what he can get.
Third, there is no money to be mad
raising grain. Harvesting and thrash
in takes off all the profit.
We say in answer first, whs
makes every renter and seller able t
own land and cukivate it? Second
I confidently assert that there are more
iand owners in this State that cmiq less
than six head of cattle than there are
that own more. If such assertion, b
true, it will require four acres per head
foF pasture; say twenty acres for the
average of land owners, from twenty
to twenty-five acres under cultivation
will produce fodder and straw sufficient
to feed through the winter; if fed in
stable or yard will in due time be re
turned to the soil, where nature claim
it belongs, instead of being burned or
washed away into the gutters tojpro
duce fever and ague. . The ran ilia
owns eighty acres cf land will havo the
fodder and straw from thirty to forty
acres more, tnan ne will require.
Third I know there is money to be
Uiuilc by rai:o grain.. We keep
Boarding House on a small scale,
average cumber of boarders the year
round being ten. All are fed and
poorly clothed from the product of fron
forty to seventy ncres of poorly cuiii
vated land, as the boarders are ' too
small to lend a helping baud as yet.
Fourth, le says leave it to a vote; so
say I, if the law fivers think there is
doubt as to the sentiment of the people.
S. B. Hobson has no objection to
those having a herd law that need it
He also seems to Lave vindictive feel
ings towards the land shark '. We say
in Monarchy Iawsare made to su t
the wants of the rich, but in a Rppub-
'ican country laws are made or should
be made to meet the wants of the mus
ses. tie tays nerd west it you need
it aome say an west ot tne range line
between twetve thirteen is impos
sible to be fenced. But we, the old
sellers east of s; id line, who have
made the Slate what it is, let us have
fences so that we get the benefit of pas-
luring on the land belonging to the
sharks. If you deprive ui of this priv
ilege you force us to sell our stock or
fence pastures, herding being out of
the question. Now if this be so, what
would have been dose if thethrrks
had Dot got hold of the odd quarter

,,ne oeiweea twelve and thirteen
would have been under the plow; there
fore we think the sharks have been
your salvation. You may say the
school land would be left for pasture.
We say no. If the sharks had not got
hold of the Government lands tbey
would not have got into our legislature,
consequently the School lands would
have been sold for their true valtie to

If Hobson'a view be correct let us
double -the price of the school land

land and keep out seders "and let it

Old setters living on the streams and
near groves that were fortunate enough
to secure timber for their fuel and fen
cing for a few years, seem to forget
that this portion of Goti's footstool was
intended for oihers as well ns them
selvess. They have, or at least the
majority have, built something' they
call a fence, to protect themselves from
the devastation of stock, and what they
lack in fence thay make up in dogs.
They get all the stock ihey can and
herd them back onto the new seller;
and when the new seller demurs, the
reply is, make a better fence; and sev
en to ten the new setter has the best
fence, but lacking the dog, his grain is
destroyed"."' Even the fortunate fe
are fast approaching their last fence.
yet they hold out, hoping to secure a
well filled pocket by the time lumber is
shipped here from Alaska. I have in
quired of old sellers what we should do
for timber? Tne reply was. I have
timber to last a few years. But I ask
where will those new sellers get iheir
timber? Reply, they will have to give
up their land; this they would certainly
have to do, were they compelled to
fence. I, for one, have long since
considered that fencing our plow land,
was the -relic of ancient barbarity.
With due regard for the Editors time,
space and patience, I clo3e.
