. The Democratic cityconventica whi:h
convened ia this city two weeks since
passed a resclatica requesting their pro
ceediegs printed in the Journal. Scon
after we asked one cf the "hcai centres."
cf the Democratic party why it was that!
the Democracy supported tho Journal in
preference to the Advertiser. The reply
was that "if the Advertiser men would
come to cur conventica, and hang around
until tney coull get the minutes of our
meeting, perhaps a resolution might have
been passed to print :a the Advertiser
also."
In a few days after this the .Brown
ville Precinct Republican Convention met
and ths minutes were handed 10 the
Advertiser for publication, and the local
of the Advertiser furnisbed the Journal
a copy thereof, whereupon the Journal
discourses as follows :
; "We are ruder obligations to the local editorof
the Adrertist? fcr a copy of the proceedings of the
Republican Precinct convention ia Bruwnville.
Vi e bad expected a copy from the Secretary of tho
conTention, tot suppose they bad forgotten thit
there are two Republican pipers in Nemaha coun
ty. All ve want is fair play; and if w don't
Lave it we will ruake a fuss.'
Now, we have this to say in behalf of
the Secretary cf the Republican meeting
and to thi Journal men : If the Journal
men had taken the same pains to obtain
the minutes of the Republican convention
as they did those of the Democratic con
vention, they could have been obtained
as easily. 1
Saline" Connix.
This county is west of Gage and Lan
caster counties. It is watered by the Big
Blue river and its tributaries, the largett
cf which is the Turkey Creek, which
rises ia the nor.th western part of the
county. The settlements in Saline county
may be said to Ee cn the frontier; still
there are a few settlers cow and then to
be found much further west than they.
The lands in this county are beiDg taker;
by actual settlers for homesteads. For
a new ccunty the political ground is
being sharply contested.'Demecrats hold
ing most cf the offices by sufFerence.
There is much uncertainty as to which
point will get and retain the hener cf
being the county seat. At the present lime
Swan City holds the stakes, and may for
all time to come. So say many, if not
all the one hundred people who now re
side there.. If net, it will not' be for
the want cf an effort cn their part. '.
.Swan City Is situated -in the Eouth
eastern portion of the county, at the con
fluence cf Turkey and Swan creeks.
There is a store here well stocked with
goods. Hurlburt & Mack have a. good
water power saw mill here. The dam i3
on the Turkey Creek, just below the
mouth cf Swan Creek. They have ten
feet head
of
water, which backs the
water up either creek about three miles,
but not out of their banks. There is
sufficient water the year round to run
other machinery beside the saw and grist
Capitol, and one of their greatest wants
is increased mail facilities. It takes the
pcst cnice department some time to real
ize that there can be settlers so far west,
and longer to comprehend their wants,
1 -
and a furiner indefinite space of time
before they arrange to supply their
wants. We suppose after the census of
1870 shall have been taken, compiled and
published, the three Congressmen and

This institution of learning is situated
in Peru, Nemaha county, about eight
miles up the Missouri river from Brown
ville, and has cow just closed its second
term under the tutorship of Mr.''&'Mrs.'
McKenzie. Miss M. S. Huntley ha3
taught the primary department, .and Mr.
F. M. Williams ha3 taught the class in
penmanship and. book keeping. ' The
teachers are laboring under many diffi
culties which are scmewhat discouraging
but not insurmountable. .
. Thi3 school needs a library, and more
philosophical apparatca. It shculd be
provided with an endowmeut sufficient
to relieve it of all embarrassment in a
financial point of view. Prof. McKenzie
i3 the nht man in the right place : and
if the State secures to him cn adequate
support, the whole bent and power cf his
ripe experience will be at the disposal
of the school ; and we doubt not that the
next Legislature will place this institu
tion above want. It should be" made a
credit to the Slate. Good schools are
our greatest necessity. Governments,
by long practice, pay without thought or
much comment , large sums , to punish
criminals, but count the dollars and cents
with some amazement at the extrava
gance cf the times which are paid out to
educate her population in useful pursuits
Whea the child is so educated as to
enable him to transact the business -of
ife, you have removed from him the
temptation, to commit crime, lie can
then gain, without risk to his' character
or his liberty, what under other circum
stances he c-juld have reached only
through theft or deception. The organ
ization of society then is such that the
Government must appropriate either
argely from its treasury to punish crim
inals, or a less but still generous svpi to
banish the necessity from winch nearly
all criminals attribute their downfall.
And this State Normal School is but
a small beginning oa the part of the
Slate in the more economical and enno
bling policy, and all true educators should
see to it that she lakes no backward
step.
