THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1870. Ms: " - & THDLEGISLATURE, s Our delegation In the Legislature lias returned, that body having ad journed on Friday night Iafet. From them we learn that the Peni tentiary, Military, Emigration and Herd Law passed, and M ere approved by the Governor. . By the provision of. the Feniteutia ry bill, three inspectors were elected, on joint ballot, whose duties ar to ell the penitentiary lands and appro priate the funds, arising therefrom, to the building of a penitentiary building near Lincoln. They are alao autho rized to provide for the Immediate 0 care of die State convicts. ' The Emigration bill provides for a Board of Emigration. They are to meet and appoint a commission, to Tesiie in New York city, for the the distribution of such printed matter as the Board shall direct, and to assist In forwarding emigrants to the State. The Herd law is the samn as that passed by both Houses last year. The same precincts, In Nemaha county. are exempt from the operation of the Military Management of Indian. Affairs. . We desire to ask those who have been so clamorous for a traesferof the Indian Bureau to the. War Depart ment, how they like It aa far as they have gone! " The late Picgan mas sacre Is being thoroughly ventilated, and is shown to have been a most das tardly outrage a disgrace to the mili tary and the country. In speaking of it Gen. Sully writes to the Indian Bureau expressing grave doubts as to whether the bund surprised and mur dered, had taken any part in the late depredations." "Lieutenant W. B. Pease, the agent of the Blackfoot tribe, sends a full re port to Commissioner Parker which mits a worse liirht upon the matter than the first;rcport through Vincent Collyer. After giving the same fig ures presented by that gentleman, he proceeds: " Out of two hundred and nineteen I)elonging to Red Horn's baud, only nfty-fcix survived. Among these are nine young men who escaped during the attack, and five who were away hunting. The lives or eignteen women and children, none of them more than three years of age and many of them much younger some of whom were wounded, were spared by the sol diers.""

He was one of the earliest set tiers of Miami county, and for more than half a century one of the most prominent and useful citizens. Many of his old acquaintancea, now resi itnta in this countv. will regret to learn of his death. The Doctor was ver characterized for his good health and fine reservation.

He entered the first tract of land entered in this State, then Territory; the piece of land now bound by Mr. Hoadley, und known as South Brownville.

The 44 Little Blue " is one of the pluckiest, spiciest, sharpest, keenest, "pungent- est" little sheets in the country. I take this first opportupty to com ply with your request. My decision in le case was arrived at after a somewhat protracted con sideration during the summer of 18C9. The objectf that consideration wa the adotiou of such regulations to guid County Superintendents as Uvouiu oesi advance tne interests or education in the State, and would not conflict with the plain letter of the law. The decision at which I arrived was this : County Superintendents and School Boards should treat as valid the cer tificate issued to any person who 4,has attended said institution twenty-two weeks," and has been 41 examined In the studies required by the Board in 6uch manner a3 may be (has been) prescribed," according to the provi sions ofSec.ll of "an act to locate, en dow and establish a State Norma' School,". approved June 20, 1S67. r I abo decided that such certificate must be subject to revocation by coun ty Superintendents, under the provi sion of See. 82 of 44 An Act To Estab lish a System of Public Instruction for the Stato of Nebraska." Approved Feb. 1SG0. .-, ... . The reasons which led to this deci sion may be briefly stated thus : 1st, The prevailing custom in other States. 2d. It will advance the interests of the Normal School. 3d. It will induce teachers to make special preparation for their work. 4th. The power of a State institu tion to issue certificates which are made valid In all counties, is not with drawn by simply conferring similar and less extensive power on a local officer. 5th. The power of the Board of Ed ucation to grant certificates is not in consistent with the power vested in the County Superintendents. 6th. The Interests of the Schools re quire that all certificates be subject to revocation. The Board of Education can not keep a supervision of the Nor mal School graduates lii the distant counties. 7th. The spscific language of Sec. 82, of the School Law: 44 The County Superintendent may revoke any teacher's certificate for any reason which would have justified the with holding thereof," tc, Believing this to be in harmony with the best interests of all con cerned, .

That the money due thereon has not been paid to the commissioners. wennu iurtner mat tne commis sioners never promised to such pur chasers anv time on said sales. The testimony fully establishes that the advertising for bids, and the let ting of the contracts for both these buildings, were conducted in a fair and impartial manner; that there was no favoritism shown to any one; that no person whatever had any advan tage over. others In bidding for the contracts of either building, and that the Commissioners, nor anv of them. Ecceived any consideration whatever forsftwarding the contracts to the par ties who obtained them. That the eommissioiersat the public sale of lots and lands put forth all proper means to further the interests and advance the welfare of the btate, by selling the lots and lands at the best prices; that but few lots were sold otherwise than at public sale, and those were soul to rectify errors in numbers of lots and mistakes made in the hurry of bidding at the sales, and in some instances to encourage the interests of Lincoln, and thereby fur ther the public benefit.
