1 raj: TLXST. rURKAS, Editor. THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 187a Geo. D. Trentice is Dead. c c ' The telegraph reports announce the odcath of 3ix). D. PKEXTiCE, the vefc - cran editor of the Lotlsville, Ken " tucky Journal, Our earliest recollec tion of him as an editor was thirty years ago, when we were an appren tice in a Kentucky newspaper office. ' Mr. Prentice was then in his prime as a man and an editor. He was the un faltering champion of Hexry Clay c from beginning to end. In his palmy days he had no superior as a newspa per writer. As a wit, none excelled 0 him. As a poet, he ranked with the best of the land. While like the rest of mankind, he had his faults, he "goes down to the grave with hon ors thick upon him," at nearly the age of man "three score years and Men." He was sixty-eight years of age. "Peace to his ashes." May the worldly favored with more such men as Geo. D. Prentice. Indian Affairs. c lion Jno. Taffe, our worthy and efficient Representative in Congress has, among other important measures Inaugurated by him, Introduced Joint Resolution to disincumber the publio domain from so-called Indian Title. The following is the copy of the resolution which was read a first and second time, and referred to the committee on Indian Affairs : Joint Resolution to disincumberthe Public Domain of the so-called In xilau Title. - Be It resolved by the Senate and blouse of Representatives of the c United States of America in Congress assembled. That after the expiration of one vear from the passage of this joint resolution, the public domain of the United fctaies snan oe nciu to uc, and shall be treated in all respects as Unincumbered of the 60-calIed Indian ' Title, f This is an important movement in the right direction; and we are re joiced that It hails from a Represen tative from Nebraska. The recogni tion of Indian Titles and Indian Treaties have always been humbugs of the most enlarged magnitude. The Indian needs to be treated Just what he is hi reality the ward of the Na tion made amenable to our laws and o L subject to its penalties, and when he o arrives at a suitable period in advance ment, either by the infusion of pure "white blood, or natural development, make him a citizen, entitled to equal rights and privileges under the law. 0 "We Bee by late accounts from Wash ington that the Commissioners have resolved to request the Secretary of - the Interior to recommend to Con gress a liberal appropriation for edu rational purposes, to be expended among tribes and bands gathered on reservations and In other permanent homes, and to put the expenditures of moneys not otherwise provided for, c. under the direction of the Secretary, and to place all schools for Indians or dered by the Government, under the inspection of said Commissioners or other authorized agents. They also agree In asking appropriations to aid Ik locating Indians on permanent Reservations. Break up treaty ma king with Indians ; make him amen able to our laws ; give him the advan tages of education ; locate him perma nency; deal fairly and promptly with . him prompt In punishment where needed, as well as in rewards and a very fer years will do away with Border Indian Wars, which thus far has cost the country ten thousand dol lars in money, and the lives of ten white men for every Indian Scalp obtained. FEMALE SUFFRAGE. . Our notice of the "Revolution" last week the Woman's Rights paper caused us to receive a complimentary letter from a lady, in which, among other thing, she says "I am glad to know that you are on the side of woman's rights." Yes, my friend, we arcs on the side of woman' t rights on the side of the right of all man kind. But do not understand the friendly editorial notice we gave the Revolution newspaper, to mean an en dorsement of the now much talked of ' and understood policy of "female suf frage." We do not now propose to enter Into a detailed discussion of this subject may, when circumstances and time will better permit. To not be misunderstood, however, we say . that individually, we are opposed to , the passage of a law by eltherCation al or State authorities, imposing the elective franchlze upon the women of this land. We use the words impos ing In place of conferring, as is usual in this connection, because we consid- ' er it more-appropriate. Confer, Web ster says, means to "grant favors, benefits." Impose means to "burden, , tax, toll," says the same author!ty, we believe to clothe woman with the elective franchjze, would be to impose a duty, not confer a favor. We be lieve fully and to the utmost extent in her purity, power, efficiency and capability ; and as fully that all these essential would be lessened, when she "dabbles In the dirty pool of poli tics." We do not believe as is' assert ed, that the exereise of the elective franchise will elevate man to any great extent, at least ; but on the con trary, that the true and pure sphere and usefulness of woman, would.be lowered. To-day, woman rules and governs the enlightened, refined and Intelligent portion of the ' world, through the channels, and In that way designed by her Creator she gives it its tone and character; and when her present relations and sphere are changed, these great results are lost, or at least greatly Impaired. Extend the elective franchise to wom.au, and as a rule, that portion of them who to-day rule the world for good, would not participate. And yet, with these Ideas, when we are convinced that a majority of the woman of the land wish to enjoy the elective franchize-, we would be willing to extend It to them. But we promised not to enter Into this question in detail at present. Oar Scliool Funds. We have been shown by Dr. 11c Grew, County School Superinten dent, a notice from the Stae School Superintendent, Mr. KsAii, an offi cial notification of the apportionment of School Funds for Nemaha county. The sura specified Is $3,4tf, the pro portionate amount due the county from what is now In the hands of the State Treasurer for school purposes. The State Superintendent adds: "A full and equitable adjustment will be made so soon as full census are in." From this it Is safe to conclude that this sum is not the full amount due this county. As we have before said, and as is known by, especially those who are officially connected with school affairs, the school matters throughouttheStateare terribly "mix ed up." It is prei-uroable that most, if not all of the troubles arise from the change in our school' system, which has been brought about by the enacting of our New School Law. After it shall be thoroughly under stood and In practical operation, we hope to see it work more smoothly. Dr. McGrew seems somewhat at loss how to proceed in the distribution of the funds, as the law, provides that "one-fourth of the whole amount to be distributed shall be divided equally between the several Mricts, and the remaining three-fourths, pro-rata in the several Districts, according to the enumeration returned by the Direc tor." As the districts are all In urgent need of funds, our plan would be to distribute what funds are in hand now, as prescribed by law, and any additional funds that may hereafter into hand in the same manner nnH nrnnortion. This will Involve double labor on the part of the Suj er intendent, in this respect, but we nnt spe how it can be well avoided and meet present necessities. Religous. It is with pleasure we announce that in several points in this county Interesting religious revivals are pro eressinc:. At Peru in the Methodist Church, in charge of Rev. Swarts, daily and nightly meetings have been kept up for two week9 pas In this place, in the Baptist Church, under the pastoral care of Rev. Lowe, a very interesting series of meetings are in progress. Many confess convict inn nnd nre seekine fonriveness of vu w - W W sins. There has been ouite a larcce revi val influence in London during the last two or three weeks under the auspices of Rev. L. F. Britt, of the Methodist Eoisconal Church. The A church greatly revived, quite a num her of conversions and ten united with the church, and some bread cast upon the waters we hope- to see many daj-s hence. Rev. L. F. Britt, of London, Ne braska, has commenced another pro tracted meetine at. the Fairview Church. Prospects are good for gracious work at that place. Several are inquiring the way to Zoin. May the work go on and spread, and many be added to the church, such as shall finally be saved. Browxville, Nee., Jan. 24, '70. Mr. Editor: It mav be interesting to some of rf . - your readers to know the result of the series of meetinus iust closed in the Baptist Church in this city. - The meetine beean at the close of the week of prayer, preaching every night by the Pastor, and meetings for conference and prayer in the day. A general interest prevailed among the members, and all wh'o we:e regu larly in attendance, and the influence of the spirit of God wa9 present in this refreshing and converting power. For two Sabbaths we found it nec essary to remove the covering which stern winter had thrown over the bosom of the "old Missouri" our Jordan to find a liquid grave in which to bury two willing converts in the semblance of the Saviour's death As the result of christian effort thus far since the completion of our new house of worship, we have received twelve accessions, to our members; among others, the former worthy in cumbent of the editorial chair of your most excelent paper, J. S. Church. If his career as a journalist is any cri terion to judge of his subsequent ef forts in in christian enterprise, we are encouraged to expect much. He is a host a whole "church" himself. One more stands as a candidate for the ordinance of baptism : others are enquiring the way of salvation. Our Sabbath School has increased from thirty to over seventy-five, with good interest. Our Superintendent, Alf. V. Morgan, is a live man, and the right man in the right place. Our Pastor, Rev. T. S. Lowe, labor ed incessantly with characteristic zeal, 'preaching and talking for over two weeks with great acceptance to the people, especialiy on last Sabbath morning and night to a large and at tentive audience, two able discourses were delivered which called . forth general praise. The close of these meetings mark an era in tne History oi our nttie church. A Church Member. Fire in St. Joseph. A disasterous conflagration took place In St. Joseph, Mo., on Sunday morning last, In which one man was burned to death, six more were cover ed by a falling wall, two of whom died from the injuries, and the .others are in a critical coud'tUm. It becur ed In a row of buildings near Black snake Bridge, known as the "Rose bud" occupied as a house of ill-fame, drinking house and billiard hall. The loss of property buildings is set down by the Herald at $20,000. The good people of Omaha have been making Railroad excursions over portions of both the Omaha and North-western and the South-western ro&ds. We are indebted to Hon. C. C. Washburn of Wisconsin, for favors In shape of Public Documents. SFJIAIU COUNTY SCHOOL MONIES. Mr. Editor : Having access to the accounts of County Treasurer Bratton, I send you a few figures to be found uponliis books, which may be found of inter est to the general reeder. ' I found that he has sent up to the State Treasurer $15,000 of the cash paid in to him by the purchasers of school lands in Nemaha county. Sup posing this sum to have been on in terest by fix months, at six per cent., we have for interest thereon to the credit of Nemaha county, on school money, $450. The County Treasurer of the county collected in IhOO, Interest on autnti one on contracts for sale of school lands, and has Kent the Mime to State Tren surer, the sum of.. H052 82 lie also sent to state Treasurer mon eys collected for rent of school lands 277 55 He nlso sent for moneys collected on State School tax. , 2,651 81 Making the total State School fund to he distributed in iwu, couectea in Nemaha county.................57,32 31 Of this sum the county of Nemaha receives back the sum of $5,024, little ever one-half of the amount the county furnishes Jo the State. Or, in other words, the county of Nemaha pays for the education of the children of the State outside of her limits, the snug little sum of $2,408,31. Now, Mr. Editor, I doubt not your readers are anxious for the ballance sheet of the whole State upon this matter, so that they may see what counties pay into the State Treasury more than thev receive back ; and how much and what counties are sub sisting upon the bounties of such as ours, and to what extent. Can you furnish us such information. A TAX PAYER. We are unable to furnish the facts desired by "A Tax Payer," but wil embrace the first opportunity to do so, We extract the following from nrivate letter received by us a few days since, from Senator Tipton: Believing the times demand that a stoD should be put to tire speculation in public lands, as far as possible, I in troduced on the 18th inst., a bill to prohibit the sale of the Public Lands of the United State in Nebraska ex cept to actual settlers. '- In our Senate Committee on lands at our last meeting, we passed upon a Railroad bill and recommended its passace. providing that the United States should only sell the alternate sections of land on an Oregon Rail road to actual settlers : and that the railroad should do the same with their lands, and limit the amoun to 160 acres to each purchaser, and at a price not to exceed two dollars and fifty cents per acre. This shows the liberal and just tendency of our pres ent Legislature. Very respectfully, T. W. Tipton. Senate, Jan. 19, 1870. A band of Pawnee Indians -were out recently on some kind of an ex cursion, eome say to fight the Sioux who were eoming down upon them others that they were on a theiving raid. A portion of the band were overtaken by the storm of Sunday the 16th, near Lone Tree Station on the U. P. Railroad, and perished within a days march of home. We are clad to know from our Ne braska City papers that Doctor Bowen who had been prosecuted on a charge of riot was declared not guilty, instant ly, the jury not leaviDg the box. Question. Is It plagiarism for one newspaper to appiopriate two or three columns of original matter from the columns a cotemporary, change the heading and cive no credit? We "pause for a reply." "Don't all speak at once." Private advices inform us that there is a "heap of fun" going on at Wash Ington over the Nebraska City Post office.

W. U. Reavel, a colored man, has been elected to the United States Sen ate by the Legislature of Mississippi ; to fill the vacancy occasioued by the rcsianaticn of Jefferson Davis in 1S61 ! The "world moves," and there is "justice in history." Mr. Reavel is sold to be a man of fine education, and a talented and accomplished gen tleman. The country hopes Garrett Davis, of Kentucky; won't resign on this account. Gen. Augur, commanding the De partment of the Platte, Omaha, has recently received official intelligence from Capt. De Witt C. Poole, U. S. Indian Agent at New Fort Randall, informing him of the murder of the Buck Surveying Party by Sioux In dians In August last, and giving di rections where the bodies can be found. . In the U. S. Senate on 18th of Jan uary, senator Tipton .or iNeDrasKa reported a Bill for new Land Districts in Kansas and Colorado. The "Universal Suffrage Associa tion" met in Washington City on the lTth.of the present month. E. Cady Stanton, Phoebe Cozzens, Susas An thony, Senator Pomeroy, and other women who had better be at home nursing babies, made speeches. Ex-Senator Green of Missouri died at St. Louis on the 19th inst. We are pleased to notice that our friend and companldn of boyhood days, Dr. Horace Coleman, of Troy," Ohio, has been appointed by the President, Assessor of Internal Rev enue for tne .bourtn congressional District, Ohio.

California, 5. Oregon, 6. New Jersey. Nebraska, Texas, Tennessee Georgia are yet to act upon it. and Texas and Nebraska being safe, the Fifteenth Amendment will become a part of the Constitution. , STATE ASSESSMENTS. The following circular letter has been issued by the Auditor of the State to the several. County Clerks in the State of Nebraska. Dear Bib : You will instruct each asses sor In your county, to assess the real and per sonal property at its true casn value. The County Board of Equalization will be particular to see that each assessment is made equal In the County, and at its ' cash value, otherwise the State Board of Equaliza tion will oe compelled to increase tne assess ment in your county. The object to be attained is to hav the assessment of the State's taxes, equal all over tne state ; tnis only can oe reached by asses sing property at its present true value. The State Board o! Equalization will make the levy for State taxes sufficient only meet the expenses of State government, and consequently by following the above instruc tions, will not increase your taxes, as the levy will be mado correspondingly less. lours Truly, John Gillispie State Auditor, Mr. Editor: me regular quarterly meeting o the Q., M. & P. R. R. Co. will be held at the Holt House in West Quincy Mo., on the 2d of February, com mencing at 2 P. M. It has been unof ficially suggested that it would be well for the officers of the B.. Ft. K & P. R. R. Co. to meet the flrstjiamed ... t company at that time and place to confer in relation to a consolidation o the entire line from Quincy to Ft Kearney. Important business will be transacted at that meeting, looking to early and active work. Jarvis S. Church. Won't Bro.

Hill, an extensive dealer Agricultural Implements in that cty is now getting his Implements de livered in that place twenty-six dollars per car load, from Canton, 111;, less than before the Railroad ran down to the river bank. Coal is reduced from fifty-five to thirty-five cents on th bushel. Lumber is reduced one dol lar on the thousand. Property is go ing up every day. Finish our road from Phelps even, to the river, and we will see such a difference as wil astonish us all. : A whole family were frozeu todeath near Vermillion, in Dacotah Territo ry, on Sunday the 16th of this month The terrible cold of that day seemed to extend very generally over the North-west.

S., Jan. 15, 1870, Virginia having adopted the loth amendment of the constitution of the U. S., viz : "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous conditions of servitude," the question being wheth er the other conditions should be im posed"upbn her, the following remarks were made by "Mr Tipton, Senator from Nebraska : Mr. President, if the fifteenth amendment was already adopted. I should go to Virginia to-night, and I should claim that Dy the fifteenth amendment, the fourteenth amend ment and the thirteenth amendment. fche was bound by the Constitution to do all and everything that is contain ed in the condition involved in the proposition" of the Senator from Mis souri, iiut so tar as that is concerned the thirteenth amendment is adopted. and to all intents and purposes so far as Virginia is concerned, sne has done a part in the adoption of the fifteenth amendment also. - - Now,-1 feel as confident that the fifteenth amendment will become a part xf the Constitution in a short time as a man can be in regard to any future event ; but suppose it should fail, then what? Then the Senator from Missouri would have U3 on rec ord in favor of the fifteenth amend ment, and if she should violate that she is just as much condemned for un fairness as she couia he ii she were to Violate the conditions prescribed by the amendment of the Senator from Missouri. She nevercan stand vindi cated if she went back unon that record any more than she could stand vindi cated If she went back upon the record made by the adoption of the amend ment of the Senator rrom Missouri. Whatever therefore, is necessary to be done in order to bind the honor of the State of Virginia has already been done ; and if that will not hold her to her fealty to the constitution of the United States. I want toknow wheth er she would feel uuder more obliga tions to obey the law of Congress than she would the constitutional amend ments of the Constitution of the Unit ed States. So far as these conditions are con cerned, I came from a State that was admitted with a condition-precedent, but there was no penalty attached to the violation of that principle in case it should be violated, and consequent ly, when the question arose on the original proposition of the Senator from Missouri, I voted against that proposition from the fact that it under took to ImpOse a penalty which was not attempted to be imposed upon the State of ebraska. Predicating my argument upon the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, I think I can see where Virginia would be dealt with under the Con stitution for violating the principle of the fifteenth amendment. When she shall have gone back upon that propo sition, when her members to the House of Representatives shall go there, a portion of the citizens of Vir ginia by law having beeu excluded from the privilege of voting then the House being the judge of the qualification of its own paembcrs, would not allow one ofthose members thus elected to take the oath of office or to become a member, and not the State would bo remanded back, but the constituency that had violated a provision of the Constitution in his election. There is wlere the House of Representatives would deal with the refractory State, and not under take to remand the State back but re mand back to his constituents every member that had beeu elected In vio lence of the Constitution of the United States. And, sir, under the same state of things, when under like cir cumstances a Senator should present himself here and it should be ascer tained that the Legislature of Virginia had elected him, had members In that body in violation of the principles of the amendments of the Constitution, he would be held at arras' length in this Chamber, until a properly chosen Legislature of the State of Virginia should elect and send here a Senator in obedience to the Constitution of the United States. And thus would the punishment fall upon her first, in preventing the admission of her members into the House and her Sen ators elected in violation of the prin ciples of the Constitution ; not a pun ishment inflicted upon the whole State at once and entire by remand ing her back to the condition in which she stands to-night. When the State of Nebraska came here for admission she came here without your enabling act, she came here jwitli a constitution formed by her Legislature, without any of your authority; and yet you cured all de fects and admitted the State. Vir ginia comes here to-night, having complied with the requirements of the law which you gave her, as certified by the commander you sent to enforce it, as indicated by the message of the President of the United States; and I therefore do not feel inclined to go back of these facts to-night for the purpose of imposing conditions which I' feel add no strength to the Constitu tion and can cure no defect", in that instrument, and cannot make up for the probabilities of the loss of the fif teenth amendment. All my tendencies are to go as far as the furthest in restraint and in eter nal punishment for refractory rebel States ; and it was my desire therefore, to be able to come to such a conclusion in regard to the proposition originally before the State, as that I might vote for it heartily aud willingly. I could not come to that conclusion, and I voted against the first; and deeming that it would add no strength, what ever, to the case, I do not suppose, unless a change of mind very sua Jenly comes over me, that I shall be able to vote for this amendment.

COVE-5wrETl.CIA.I.. At the request of many farmer subscribers we shall again make an attempt to give a re view of the produce market. This we at tempted some time ago, but found It did not work to the satisfaction of many, as they expect us to furnish a market that would bold good until our next Issue. The market is too fluctuating for that ; all we can do is to give quotations at the date of our issue. This we will attempt to do as correctly as possi ble, In hopes that our efforts will be appreel ated. When we get out a daily and that day may not he far distant we can give a daily report. We shall also give the prices In omana ana Kt. josepn, 01 tne articles we quote, in which way the farmer may Judge of the Influence of these markets upon ours. We not ice from our exchanges that there Is great reluctance on the part of farmers in the Missouri Valley to dispose of their grain at present prices, preferring to hold on until spring for a rise, being Induced to this from the known scarcity of corn and wheat in the Middle States. This withholding of the sta ges that move capital from the east, is mak ns times much harder in this valley than if the crops were moved. Good prices for grain in tnesprine. and a re-apportionment of the circulating medium giving more to the growing W est will make times very urisK next season. BROWNVILLE. Corn, In the ear -KVni-t.

"The Chromos before us were published by L. Prang A Co Boston, which firm introduced Chromo-lithography into America, and have lately so elaborated the process, by means of a new tech nical nppuances, lliut tneir productions are able to take rank with the best German productions, and Indeed surpass these in delicacy and transparency of tone. The best of the specimens known to us are "Karly autumn on Ksopus Creek." after Bricher, a Boston artist: "The barefoot Boy," after Eastman JoIin.Hoh, the foremost of American genre, and the "Poultry-Yard." after Lemmena. . . . Their techni cal execution Is excellent in every respect. The "Autumn" and ' The Barefoot," especially, have reacnea me limits 01 possibility as regards delicacy of treatment and transparency of color. Their ex celences, which recur in all the specimens, and ex plain the cause of their success, are these; the em ployment of a multiplicity of stones for each shade of color: fine, carefully prepared pigments, (one of tne main mings in i.nromo-jutluHiraph.v) ; n very clever imitation of the canvas, reproducing the marks of the brush : and a style of mounting which is both practical and durable!"
