SIX THURSDAY, FKB1.UAKY17, 1870. ''COYERXOIVS PROCLAMATION. Extra Session of the Leglflatnrc. t i - . I ttl e Our present issue contains the Gov ernor' Proclamation convening the Legislature of 'Nebraska Jn special ession. We confess to surprise at the extent of the call. The Governor In the goodness of his heart has, douht less. yielded to the endlcssand ceaslcss Importunities that this, that, and the .'other subject -matters might be em braced in the call, and thus become 'actionable under the provisions of the constitution The Legislature will do better than ever heretofore, if it transacts all the business provided for, even in forty days, and do it well. . We very much doubt the propriety, or necessity for an extra session, farther than to ratify the Fifteenth amend ' ment. We do not think the people expect, or want It ; or that the exigen cies demand it. However, the Repre ecntatlves when convened, will re flect the will and wishes of their con stituents, and govern themselves ac cordingly. . If the Legislature concludes to pro- . oeed with the consideration of all the Items embraced In the call, we beg to call the attention of members to the Sixteenth count "To provide for the transfer of State University funds." 1 this looks to a change of ue, or di Tendon of funds accruing as provided In Ration Twentv-one of the "act to establish the University of Nebraska." then we for one, enter our protest. . The Regent's Fund especially, should be kept sacredly for the purpose de signed and expressed in the law, and under no consideration, used for any other purpose. THE TOTE OF OUR SENATORS. We publish to-day the speech of J Senator Thayer on the adml-sion of Virginia. We have before published lhat of Senator TirTox. Our Senators were divided on this question, as were xnany other good Republicans, and we see no cause of complaint as to either of them. They undoubtedly acted in accordance witlrtheir honest convic Hons. Republicans In Nebraska and elsewhere, also differ on the question e pamed, and it is not strange that in Nebraska, each of our Senators find members of their own party, agreeing with the one and differing with the other . c From a private letter received from - Senator Tiiton. on thla subject, we "fxiract the following : - -On the 10th of April, 1SG9, Congress paased an act for the submission of a Constitution of .Virginia to a vote of - the people, and provided that before the State could be admitted to the Union she would have to ratify the "VFlfUenth amendment to the constitu tion of the United States, viz : "The riaht of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridgedby the United States, or any State, on ac count of race, color, or prctioxis condi- won of servitude." c The President of the Uniied States gild in his message of Dec. Cth, 18G9: "In Virginia the election took place Cth of Julv; 1869: the Uovernor and I.leuL Governor elected have been In et&lled; the Legislature, met and did all required by this resolution, and by ail the reconstruction acts of Congress, and abbtained from all doubtful au thority. I recommend that her Sen ators and Representatives be prompt ly admitted to their seats, and that the State bo fuhy restored to its place In the family of States." The House of Representatives pass ed a Bill at once for the States' admis sion, she having previously, also, rati fied the Fourteenth amendmeut of the Constitution. . In the Senate, an effort was being rmade to impose other conditions upon her before her admission, when about twenty Republlcaa Senators decided trltn l'resident urant, mat, in as much as she had gone as far as the most radical States, she ought to "be promptly admitted." And among these were the lawyers of the Judi ciary Committee. W ith them I voted noTf against certain amendments, and Senator Thayer voted "yea." We are not disposed to either extol or condemn In this case, because we tlo not consider this issue, if any, of kufUcient Importance to demand such c a course. As before said, other Sena I tort an d Rep rese n tat i ves i n Con g ress o f the Republican party, whose radical 'Ism none doubt, thought and voted on both 6ldes of the Virginia question. 'It la said by those who differ with either of our Senators, that they do cot represent the Republican party in Nebraska. So far as we have observed, 1 there Is about the same difference with ether members of the party in Nebras ka, as with the Senators, and conse quently no great issue. Mr. Tipton voted for Morton's pre amble which certainly obviated the necessity of any further conditions bfclng Imposed, In as much as that caused Virginia, if admitted, to admit that she passed the Fifteenth amend ment "in good faith, as a precedent condition," and hence any faltering , en her part would be cause for such penalty as might be found constitu tional. At to Senator Tipton, with whom cotempor&ry has taken issue public Iji fe have only to say, as a journal ist representing his immediate home, that while a knowledge of his radical ism would have warranted the con clusion that he might vote against the Bill &s it came from the Ilouse, there . is no dissatisfaction with his vote un der the circumstances, which'he has fully and satisfactorily explained in his speech, and iu a former letter, and the one now published. Otoe, Sac, Fox and Ion a Indian Treat ies. The President has, we see. with-j drawn the Indian Treaties, spoken of In our columns a few weeks w'uee, un der the provisions of which the "St. Louis and Nebraska Trunk," ud the "Atchbion and Nebraska" Railroad Companies were to be allowed to pur chase the lands cf these Indians. We Lave not changed our opinions here tofore expressed, in regard to Indian Treaties. In this instance, however, re are confident that great delay, and consequent wrong will be the result to the moet populous portion of our KUte. We refer to the building of the "Trunk" road. We have no hesi tancy in asserting that the comple tion of this enterprise, is more needed to-day, and woald confer greater ben efits on a greater number of the peo ple in Nebraska, than any other now contemplated, and yet, it has encoun tered more direct and downright.' op position. It may be, and is delayed, but it cannot- be defeated. Every Railroad, leading West from the Mis souri river, except perhaps the U. P. is, and will be incomplete, and wil fail to meet the wants and demands of the people and our trade, without It Rut more, and in detail at anothc time. In the meantime, we say to the friends A the "Trunk," be in koou clieer: it is neituer ueaa, nor hlcepcth. A few weeks ago a scurrilous and cowardly article appeared in the Ne maha Valley Journal as Washington Correspondence, in which both the private and judicial character of Judge O. P. Mason was wantonly assailed We first thought to pass it by in si Ienee, and perhaps the less said iu re lation to it now, the less importance will attach to it. We feel it a duty however, as a journalist, and indepen dent of any personal or partizan friendships, to say that Judge Mason's official career has been especially marked by a degree of ability and pre cision hitherto not excelled, to say the least by any other occupant of the Bench in the State. lie has been par ticularly vigilant in seeing the laws faithfully and fearlessly executed has prosecuted the business of his of fice with such dispatch that thecoun ties in his District have been saved thousands of dollars. We are glad to see that a number of journals in the District have spoken out in vindica Mnn of the Judire. If we cuess the author of the article in question cor rectly, we have only to say, if hisju dip? nl ormine is kent as unspotted as Judge Masoxi's there will be no com plaint. i mm 1 To Correspondents. We have on hand communications "Legislation in regard to the Prac tice ofMedicine," by John Flaneoan "Select Schools." by Edux "Char acter," by Jannette IIakding, and an interesting letter from G. R. Reed er, Houston, Texas, for which we are unable to find room this week. They shall all have attention in due time. m m Life Association of America. The most of our business men are aware that recently efforts were made, and ore yet being made to establish a Branch Board of the Life Association of America In this place. The prin cipal feature recommending this over ordinary Life Insurance Companies, is that sixty-six per cent of monies paid In Is loaned out in our own com munity. It is thought that there Is to-dar. monev enouerh going out of our town, and out or our fctate, w meet a very large share of the bank ing wants of the community. This feature is therefore considered impor tant. It wa3 thought by some that we might not get the use of the mon ey. Both the President and Solicitor for the South Platte Department have given us their pledge that if we make up a Board of ten in Brownville, we 6hall have the use of the funds to loan. The Board at its last meeting, Thursday last, passed the following resolution : Resolved, That in case a Branch Board of the Life Association of Amer ica be established in the City of Brownville, under the efforts now be ing made, then the people of Nemaha county shall have back the per cent, for loan, on complying with the regu lations of the charter in such cases made and provided. That indefatigable and go-ahead Railroad man, II. Davis, of Canton, Mo., Is still giving his whole soul to the Misssissippi and Missouri River Air Line Railroad. We copy the fol lowing from the Canton Press.' We appreciate the anxiety of all parties interested in the success of the M. & M. R. A. L. Railroad to hear of the progress mado in the work and the prospect of its early completion, and we have hitherto enveavored to keep our readers and the public fully posted upon every movement. And we are now happy to announce that negotia tions for the Iron have been so far cotnpletod as to give aassurance that an abundant supply will be forthcom ing as soon as required for the com pleted grade. We have been permitted to see a let ter from responsible parties in New York announcing their readiness to furnish all needful supplies, and the good news has so stimulated the con tractors that they have at once re sumed active operations, though pre viously intending to await the advent of Spring. All ti:at is now needed is the hearty co-operatjon of the friends of the en terprise, aud especially the towns to be most benefitted by its completion, to give appropriate "aid and comfort" to those who have assumed the chief responsibility in the matter. As a matter of fact it is worthy of note that the energetic President of the compa ny, II. Davis, has himself from his own private means footed the bills in curred for engineering, and other con tingent expenses, because local and muuicipal subscriptions could not be made available until a considerable portion of the work was completed. Mr. Davis is deserving or ail praise for his unflagging zeal and euergy, and at this stage of the work it cer tainly would be but right aud just that Canton and Lairranxe should take hold with increased zeal and determi nation and thus haeten the completion' of this long delayed, yet really Impor tant and deserved worK. The Quincy Whig in publishing the proceedings of the late meeting of the Board of Directors of the Q.f M. & P. R. R,, of which Mr. Church gave au accouut . in our last issue, notices our aid as follows : We learn from Mr. Church, of Brownville, Xeb., that on the 20th of last month, that city voted to take $00,000 additional stock in this road, swelling the subscription of Nemaha county, Nebraska, to $278,000! Hur rah for Brownville and her enterpri sing citizens, who take such a lively interest in the building of our road. May their example be followed by all friaads of the road. AYe were favored the past week with a visit from Rev. J. E. Chcbcii, of Michigan. Mr. C. is the father of J. 8. Churcit, former editor of the Ad vertiser. He U v eil pleased with Ne braska, Brownville aad surroundings, and we hope he may c?ludo to lo cate among u. Number of School Districts In Ne maha County. Dr. McGrew, County Superinten dent of schools in this county has,' In compliance with the school law, num bered the districts In numerical order throughout the county, and kindly furnished ui with the new arrange ment for publication. They were for merly numbered only as sub-distriets in each precinct. We now give the new number and the old one. Thus it will be understood what is now the official number of each district, and by which It will hereafter be known.

On the 29th ult. the city of Brown ille voted on a proposition for the city to subscribe $60,000 to the capi tal stock of the Brownville. Fort tearney & Pacific Railroad, which resulted iu a unanimous vote in favor of the proposition. We sometimes hear of a crooa thing, but seldom do we hear of every body being right ; out every body is certainly ngnt on he question of railroads, in Brown vine. It is true that where there is inharmony and discord, but little is accomplished, as Brownville hereto fore has realized in reference to rail road matters. We are sure that hence forth the people of that city will real- ze that "in union there is strength," and that harmony, wisdom and una nimity of action will mark all their enterprises. If this shall be so, they will not only get the road under con sideration, but other railroads, and Brownville will ultimately transcend the expectations of her most sanguine admirers.
