THE ADVERTISER.
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

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 . ,'

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

-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.
Governor Butler stated to me that
two warrants had, been male to Mr.
Chase by the Auditor by -jni stake,
and that as iherq was a disposition on'
the par1 of Col. Chase to make irou
bleabout it, he wished to, p y the'
amount of oneof them into the treas

DO' not remember the day Brock w.ag

dou't-fcuowjust how long I stayed ;
Mr. Brock had charge of the treasur

Lincoln in April, 3,809; think J :was
here two or three Nyeeks in May ; was
not here v.hen Brock went to Omaha
to getJtheo per cent school fund ; did
not know till long. after, not till after
the special session, that Brock got the
money; can only state how the nion
ey was kept in tlie Treasury when I
was about; I. when acting kept the
money in separate envelopes ; there
were Public School ,Fund,,Temporary
School F,und, Judiciary and General
Fund3, Penitentiary and Buildinc

tugeuier in envelopes in tne saiu, sep
arate and distinct; the envelopes
were put up in packages and marked
"and laid aside; we nav out one of
these en volo'pes and piit the warrant
in tne place or it; in crder to balance
at night; Brock kept the books all
the time after we gpt new books in
Mayor June, 18G9 ; Brock was nt
Nebranka City aiiout the middle of
May ; I did not know that he had got
the school fund, at Omaha; did not
know the object of his vis t and was
not infonned ; as faras I know no en-'

it wpuld have been put in a fund by
itself as 5 percent, fund; up to the

ate, afterward I. don't know how Mr.
Brock kept it, never looked after the
details ; but every time I came up I
looked to see that the accounts were
straight; John Rix is a ficticious
name on our books ; don't know how
large, his accounts was; never looked
at the books of James Sweqt & Brock,

fix the date of my conversation with'
t he Governor, except it . was after the

that flic money had been paid to the
State, was during the special session ;
the Governor said that Gillespie did

Governor Butler told me that the

ing business, has been since June,
1863, was in partnership with J. Sweqt
and -J. McGonnell till May, 1870,
since that timeiias: been with James
Sweet.
Made, an arrangement with Govern
or Butler iu May, 1669, to get money
at Omaha, think it ''was- about' May
loth that J had the first con versation;
Gov, came, to me and said that he had
some money at Omaha and wanted to
'know how to get the" money and what!
interest we would allow mm; 1 told
him .we would allow him 7 per cent,
and that I would get it-for him if he
would give me a, power of attorney ;
hesaid he wpuld do it ; he afterward
gave me a power of attorney and I
got the. money ; I gave the power of
attorney to the National Bank at
Omaha ; cannot state what the con
tents of it was; think, ft was under
seal ; do not know how it was signed ;
he did not state to what fund it be
longed ; said he had the Money ; I
brought the money here ; cannot tell
haw much money'l brought, think it
was about $17,000; am under tlie im
pression that I used a partof the mon
ey before T returned ; I brought the
money here; arrived I think about
12, o'clock m ; don't know what I did
with the money; think I put it in
tlie drawer; don't know when next I
saw the Governor, or when I next
conversed with him ; my impression
is that I had a coil versation with him
soon after, but couldn't sav; he told
me to issue him three certificates of
deposit for $5,000 each, and place the
balance to his account. On the 22d of
May I tilled out three certificates of
deposit for $5,000 each and placed to
his account on the books $1,466, and
on the 25th day Of May I cancelled
these certificates and prepared three
more to the same amount; the print
ed form of the certificates were the
same and the wording was a little
diflerent. There was no arrangement
malic' with" the Governor; the change
was made by us to save interest for
three days; Gov. Butler made ar
rangements with the bank to over
draw his account and overdrew it to
the amount of $16,000 or $17,000 ; the

he thought so-too; this was probably

Auditor to loau Tichenor and his

name was signed to one order and
Auditor Gillespie's was signed to an
other; the amount of the loan was
$10,000; the security -was the Tiche
nor House; I think it good security
and think the property was worth
froin 5, to $10,000 more than the in
cumbrances; there was one mort
gage before thi3 of $4,000 and one for
$1,500; Xsnonlil say that tlie value of
the property was $25,000';, I think the
building was completed but am not
certain; it might be at the time the
Omaha Herald was publishing that
the Governor had, gpt some money I
had a conversation with the Govern
or, he did not say whether it was
true or not; I had another conversa
ttion with the uovernor; lie told me

I saw the money hat day next time

ot such a thing ; cannot swear wheth
er I did or did not: the books of

I used tho money nfter putting-it in

bankable money; don't remember
that I told John McConnell that I
I was going to Omaha to get the State
iunus, anu mat mat wun tne receipts
from the County Treasurer would
make money easy and flush with the

did not state to McConnell that this
money would go to the common
school fund ; we had a private box in
the safe where we kept, the most of
the State money ; John Rix did not
appear on the books at that time; he
fore that time the State funds were
not kept in anybody's name: I held
some of the State funds in my own
name, covered by certificates of de
posit; I at that time did not imve
county school funds in my own name
hut did afterwards; cannot tell how
nuiqh I held of State funds in my

had $50",000 pr $60,000; the law was so
that we had to keep the identical
funds, and E issued certificates of de
posit to myself to evade that law ; tlie
funds were kept in the name of John
Rix for the same purpose.
It was never suggested ; I made the
entry no'self; the other member of
the firm never made an entry ; I kept
the books myself; never said to Mr.
McConnell that Sweet was dissatisfied
with the absence of the recordof the

in the fore part of our term of office ;
had no conversation witli the Govern
or' and Attorney General Robinson
(Iiscus3inghow the power of attorney
should bo drawn, as it was school
money; I told Mr. Gere about the
time Croxton was demanding to see
the books, thatwe had no entry of
the amount of the 5 per cent, funds;
tdo not think I told him that Govern
or Butler must know the amount, be
cause I had sent him a voucher or
statement; cannot swear that Gov

me for Treasurer of the Board of Re

$500 and $750; he said it would be no
use, because McConnell woulrf bo re

cheek to ofi.er to bribe a. State officer.
Applications for a loan were made
to the Treasurer, in the absence of

thing; I may have said to.Mr. Sweet

Re-examined I made several state

help elect Governor Butler and to
make Unpeople understand that the
money was paid into the Treasury; J
think this was at the time they were
after him, and I made It in his oflice ;
I cannot say what he said ; it was to
make them understand that it was
paid in ; the interest was reported
paid at the request of Mr. Beals and
the Governor; Governor Butler nev

Washington, March 23.
Sumner will, undoubtedly, essav an
attempt to present to the Senate to
day his resolutions arraigning the
President for his course In regard to
San Domingo, and the question will
be whether under Anthony's reoslu

Vice President will probably submit
the question of the reception of the

A Sensible Irishman.
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.
The Speaker The gentleman's
time has expired. rCrie3 of "Go on ;
go on."
Mr. Connolly! do not desire to
occupy your t!ra;Ido not wish to
make a political harangue; I only de
sire to give expression to the honest
conviction of my heart. I have not
another word to say, but I am sincere
in this matter, and I trust the bill
will not pass. J withdraw my re
quest to be excised, and, vote no..
The Assembly, convinced by the
good sense of this speech, rejected the
bill by the decisive vote of 73 against
it to only 33 for it. :"
