BROWN VILLE, NEB., THURSDAY MOISNING, MARCH 30, 1S71. Letter from the HXate Superintendent. Peru, March 15th, 1871. Mr. Editor. On Saturday, the 11th inst., the blanks for. the several dis trietF were distributed to the several County' Superintendents. The law requires that the census of nil chil dren between the ages of five and twenty-one years shall be taken dur ing the ten das previous to the first Monday in April, and a failure to do this in any district will cause.' a for feiture of its share of the ischool funds. . . It may he that' some districts will rauto ootain blankain time for the census. Should this be eo let no'tthat preyent the work being done, as this is of vital importanco to every dis trict, better use .coin mop. writing pa per than faiL Very many applications are made to the State Superintendent for cop ies of the school law, but as there are ho copies in print those applying can not be supplied, and the Superintend ent is not only censured but many districts are unable to. comply with the law, not knowing its require ments. It would take about 5,000 copies to supply the State properly. These might be obtained and scatter ed throughout the State in a short time; but last January the County Superintendents met at and spent three days in the Capital considering certain amendments to the law. Af ter considerable discussion quite a number of amendments were agreed upon, and presonted to the Legisla ture for its action. "With some little change they passed the House and are now in the Senate awaiting its ac tion. It is now nearly two months since they were presented to the Leg islature and it may seem strange to many why they were not acted upon on&,ago. Those acquainted with tiie gix:cums.tanct;Sii- tt testify that it is III UUkllKWIlvUl.! pEdiica- tiQUftnirtiMfc! '3 I ".-'- i !F ,'erst- not.

The law will it r amemieu to some extent, undoubtedly, heforc the Leg islature adjourns, and then a new edi tion of it would have to be published and sent over the Stale making a cost: that we can illy allurd at the present time. It is to be Imped that this will be sufficient explanation to satisfy the people for not having the law pifcV lished. It shall be done just tis j-'ou as the ameudmqnls are passed i . ,' J."M.

XilE iXPEACIDIEXT TRIAX. The Evidence In tlie Batler7ase. ; Saturday, March IS. The opening argument of the man agers havinc: been concluded,. James Sweet.the first witness, was called J and sworn. Mr. Estabrook offered in evidence the repprt of thij.Commit- tee of Ways and Means in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Eep resentatives and also .a part of the an swer responden to show the collec tion of the 5 per cent, fund paid by the government of the United States to the State, which was admitted. EVIDENCE OF JAMES SWEET, , Mr. Sweet stated that his xesidence was in Nebraska City, and was State, Treasurer from the 21st of January, 18G9, to 17th of January 1871. was als concerned in banking in jNeuraska Citv. in the firm of Jame3 Sweet-&. Co. and in Lincoln as James Sweet& Brock; John L. McCouiiell ;" was a member of the latter urm tin aiay, 1870: office as Treasurer in same building as his banking business ; no convenience for keeping public funds were furnished him had a burglar proof safe after the passage of the bill for keeping the particular funds, manufactured by Herring; kept the funds separate from his ouu money, but in same safe; had a separate apartment or box for each ; :heard of the 5 per cent, fund due the State durinir the recular session of the last Legislature ; this was in the early part of February, I860. The course pursued when money is deposited, is to make out duplicate receipts and upon the stub to put the name of the party, the date and amount, and the entries on the books were msile from the stubs; the practice Was to keep the money received during the day, after making the entry, in an envelope, and then to examine at night the en tries and the amounts to see if the amounts corresponded ; the record was the entry on the books; David Butler never deposited any of the G percent, funds with me personally; when I made my report to the Legis lature, I examined the books in the Treasurer's office; had several con versations with the Governor relative to these funds. The first conversa tion was in his private office, Some time after the adjourn inent of special session of the Legislature; cannot fix the date definitely ; the Governor al ter some special conversation spoke of giving securities'-for the money; said Gillespie would not approve of the. securities and persisted, that he should pay the money into the treas ury, and that he could not do it now ti--4.3s-. . .. .. km manv-reiernru iiJ!ffii jec-t fjUjirff rtj.pioving the securities"? jjaaTiurimi.re-siM) mat nitre wits a oWnvT'r-Mttion in th Governor's oflice sit which the Auditor was paesent. but think Tain mistaken about his beijig present ;the poiht was whether tl'iCinouoy iraiiie-'Si'ithin the descrip tion of the permanent school fund; cannot cive the time of the conversa tion upon ibis point ; it was after the adjolirnmt-Mtoi tite-cxtra session that -I had the first conversation upon the subject of the loan. Question What, did the Goyerner say regarding that fund? Ans. Hesaid that Gillespie insist-, ed that it be paid into ths Treasury,' and that he .could not because he had loaned a part of it, he did not say where the balance of the fund was, -and 1 did not know where it was. The Treasurer's cash book was in troduced. ' Question State whether or not you have examined that book, and whether or not there is an entry ui it joflheo per cent. fund. Ans. I found no entry at "the time I was Treasurer; I, made diligent search, in order to make up my re port, (and found no such entry on the books. THE CHASE WARUANT.

The bill, says the New York Post, intended to make St. Patrick's Day arJaiiftolklsyj caawi'Hpjfywterdayi the Asseniblytjaod,was oppjeSiaai defeated, its 'we h5pdfc iOsfoulilhe, and as it deserved tcrbe, by weujbers of Irish bhcth. Mt. Connolly, nieW J)erforthiJ Seventeenth distrtetjahv this city, and formerly an omcer ot the Sixty-ninth regiment said : I understand that St. Patrick's Day was engn.fted Into this bill, or rather inocula;ed into it, by a certain gentleman from New York, and I think this gentleman is assuming this responsibility'without any desire at all on tho part of adopted jtrish cit izens, and has made a most egregious mistake, and. one for which-frthThk; he will bo held to a strict' accounta bility. If that gentleman Is indebted at all to Irish adopted citizens for the pest-tion-which he now occupies in tho House, let him beware lest they send him back to the place where they found him. Laughter. Now I claim that I have a right to speak on the floor of this House for the adopt ed citizens from Ireland, because I am Irish born myself; and I say that, they desire no such privilege that they do not want it that it woidd be presumptuous for them to accept it. I do not know the intention of my friend from New York in roping 8t. Patrick into this bill : I do not know whether it was for the purpose of making uolititical capital, or for fer the purpose of killing this bill- I desire also to say a word to mr friend from Kings ( Jacobs). If I am right, he is opposed to making Decoration .Day a public holiday, but is in favor of St. Patrick's Day . Now, with due respect to my friend, I doubt his sincerity. I believe that he, too, desires to make political capital out of this clap trap. Now.sir,.thore is no man in this Hous.es either American or for eign horn, that is more anxious to do honor to tho graves of our noble pat riots than I am. Sir, I had the hon or, in 1861, when the old Irish regi ment volunteered the old Irish Sixty-ninth, the parent of the Irish Bri gade and the Irish Legion I had the honor to belong to that regiment ; and; sir, many of its children are now resting in the graves which wo pro pose to decorate. But I say lot Dec oration day be voluntary ; let tho good, the pious and the patriotic strew flowers upon the graves of the patriotic, but let not that spot, jthat holy spot, bo desecrated by the pres ence of the political speculator. Sir, I am opposed to the passage of this bill, because I fear that it would he a bad precedent. T feartliot iCxve pass It the people of the South' in their legislative as semblies, will make n similar law wr 11 make their Decoration Day also a ji .blic holiday. For these reasonsJC am opposed to the passage of this bill, at least with the clause touching jit. Patrick's Day taekjed to it.
