Editor Nebraska .Advertiser. The Legislature baa adjourned over to Monday next, and comparative quiet reigns for the next twenty-fourt or forty-eight hours. Most members in reach, have gone home to spend the Sabbath. Lnsh and Johnson of Nemaha, are among the number. Gov. Nance hag gone to Iowa to spend Sabbath with his wife who is there, in ill health. Nothing particularly new, or start ling at the Capitol since my last. The Legislature s nqw fairly (Town to earnest work. The bill pending callr ed the Prohibitory Temperance Bill, will, In all probability, bepame a law. It is the only temperance measure under consideration, Many members whq doubt the efficiency of ft total prohibition measure, are willing to give it trial, and are unwilling to go on record as seemingly opposed to any temperance movement. The people from ail parts of the State are wonderfully In earnest on the temper ance question. Much good baa been done, much is being done, and much more to do. On Thursday night Dr. Miller of the Omaha Herald address ed the largest audience ever assembled in Lincoln. The Opera House was packed at an early hour, and many went away, unable to secure, even standing room. His subject was "So briety.' He is not an advocate for a prohibition law. But Ig willing to try it. After his lecture, and on his Invitation, Finch the Temperance Lecturer, followed In favor of total prohibition. It was difficult to de cide which speaker was moat enthu siastically cheered. Both gentlemen were earnest speakers, and in pursuit of the same object, The bill providing for an appropria tion to erect an addition to the pres ent Capitol building will paBS, with out doubt, In some shape. There seems to be no determined opposition to tho main question. Only as to how much anal be appropriated and to what extent improvement shall be made. The bill, pr bills rather, looking to ward the erection of additional Nor mal SopoolB have not assumed, as yet, definite Bhape. Four additional schools are asked for. In connection withthissubject there is a very strong element In favor of not only refusing aid to other Normal Sobools, but abol ishing thepresent one as such, and converting it into a Reform School. The whojo educational question, or system Is being handled. There Is a strong element, both among membors, and in the lobby, taking a latter day position, that the State owes its chil dren only a practical common Bchool education, and that State provisions should not be made beyond that. The result will, probably be that no addi tional schools will be provided for, apd probably the present Normal School somewhat curtailed. The University branch of advanced education, is passing the san-o ordeal with the Normal School, on general principles. There is, in addition, the old "University Squabble" still being thrust into this fight. It is the same old "Broad, Guage" religious fight. This wraugle is lamentable. It has driven the educational interests of the State into both the political apd secular field. No good, can grow out of it. Under the auspices of the State Ag ricultural Institute, in session the current week. Prof. Thompson and Chancellor Fairfield delivered leer tures, on Wednesday evening, in the Hall of the House of RepresptativeB, In behalf of Industrial Education, They' were well prepared apd valuable efforts. They were followed by re marks from Ex-Gov. Furnas and others. The Legislature seema to be very favornbly inclined toward praotical efforts on the question of Industrial Education and other matters tending to develop and advertise the charac teristics of the State. A bilj is pend ing, and will pass, making provisions for publishing the labors of tho State Board of Agriculture, State Horticul tural Society, and Agricultural Insti tutes, and further aiding the Experi mental Farm, the latter especially, languishing for want of proper aid. The revised code from tho Board, of Commissioners appointed two years ago, is being considered by the Legis lature, and will be, in part at least, adopted. There is some opposition, but none of importance, to a change. The joint resolution endorsing Col. Major's vote in Congress on the Reagan railroad bill was "eat down culture Society, State Board of Agri culture, and State Historical Society. Ex-Gov. Furnas of Nemaha, was re elected President of both the Horti cultural and Historical Societies by acclamation.

This legislature has about the usual cjuoto of "Investigations" more properly known as "hush-money" feelers. They are after about every ex-official and State Institution, The Penitentiary has been investigated, and Ib now all right. The University, Insane, I)eaf and Dumb and Blind Asylums are now in prooees of puri fication. It is found that the Univer sity Is making efforts to educate the young men and women of the State; that most of the inmates of the In sane Asylum are craayj those of the Deaf and Dumb, can neither hear nor speak, and the ohildren in the Blind Asylum cannot see! Gen. McBride, ex-State Treasurer, has Senator Burkbauser of Richard son after him with a Bharp Btick. It is found that McBride took in large supqs of money the past two years and paid it out again ; that there is a good balance on hand, turned over to the pew treasurer, Mr. Barllett, The "special committees" having these investigations in hand, have general ly had a good square meal, the drinks, or cigars, a carriage ride, and one or two clerks at $3 per day detailed to wait upon them, and.

A. S. rADUOCIv, OF NEBRASKA. This gentleman is a first-rate repre jeptative mau of the great West. He is independent, outspoken to the de gree of bluffuess, despising all diiet tanteibni, but withal a man of thor ough intellectual culture and of great vigor and "drive" in practical affairs. He has had large political experience, having been prominent in the affairs of Nebraska ever since the Republi- can party came Into power in SG1, and of course long before Nebraska became a State. He took bis 6eat in the Senate March 4, 1S75," as the suc cessor of that very singular and re markabla man, Thomas W. Tipton. He is a good, forensic orator and a very much better debater In what we call a "running fight" So the Senate than the average.

Of course, he would let no opportunity pass him to "stick a pin" in Majors. The report was adverse to passage of the resolu tion, find the Senate supported the report. The Reagan bill is thought by most persons who have examined it, not to the interests of the West. The railroad fight, if it could be called such, Is about quieted. Super intendent Irving of the B. & M. R. R. "held a conversation" with mem ber of the Legislature, and a few oth er prominent and interested citizens here on Monday last. A reduction of freights was Eecured for the present, and beligerent members were request ed to "hold up." Senator Howe has written and published a letter in op position to Interference with railroad affairs. There will be no regulation of railroad matters by the present Legislature.

Editor Qlobe : I have been very busy for the past three days, with State Board of Ag riculture, In arranging for the forth coming Fair, andbaYe not been able to do anything else, or I might have said a word in my own behalf, if jt Ib necessary, upon the treasury busl ness, and I will be brief now, The facts are these : Mr. Bartlett's bond was filed and approved January 15, and I at once transferred to him the checks and certificates of deposit referred to in j'our statement. Mr. Barllett has always kept the books, and inew just where the pioneys were ; he only asked for checks and I gave them, took his receipt for $409,- 802.45, and subsequently filed it with the Auditor. When the Finance Committee came down the day fol lowing. Mr. Bartlett simply laid be fore them the cash, checks, etc., of which they took an inventory. They did not ask to see our books, letters of credit, bank statements, or any other evldenoe that these checks covered the aotual amount to my cred it in those several banks. I said to the Committee in bo many words, that if they doubted the varaoity of these checks, they could be verified by telegraph In two hour's time every ono of them. I do not attribute any neglect to the Committee in tiie mat ter, as they seemed to think that their duties were only ministerial that they were simply to take an in ventory of what luy before them. The checks given to Mr. Bartlett have been transmitted to the banks against which they were drawn, and he has the acknowledgments therefrom of their correctness, which would seem to satisfy any reasonable man on that soore. Of the $6,740.90 cents paid out on vouchers, I have only this to say : Part of it was to redeem lands from taxjaale, against which the State held mortgages and which were about to be deeded away ; to save the State a heavy loss I took them up. The oth er vouchers have passed the adminis trative scrutiny of the approving officers and not a breath can be said against Uielr justness nor their cor rectness, an1 the only outrage in the matter is that they were not paid long ago. Mr. Birkhauser, if he is correotly quoted by the Bee, says that, if he bad permission to Bend for persons and papers, he could show that from $30,000 to 00,000 had been loaned out of the State Treasury to citizens of his county. Mr. Birkhauser has sim ply lied about it. No Richardson County man, no any other man, has ever had a dollar loaned to him from the Treasury during my administra tion ; what moneys were not in the valuts have been on deposit subject to sight check. At po time has the amount of balance with the Richard son County banks exoeeded $15,000, and the average deposits has been not to exceed $5,000. This has been to my official credit there and was sub jeot to sight draft at all times and was checked against by myself and my deputy at aU'titues. Both banks sus pended. One had about $5,000 to my credit and the other bad about $834. Suit was commenced against one in the name of the State at my request. Tho Supreme Court decided that we could not recover under the name of the State; I paid from my own pookr et all costs of suit, all attorneys fees and finally, when the case was decidj ed, paid the amount lost on account of these suspensions, into tho Tress? ury. AH this furore ha3 given me very little concern, as I knew that creatures of the Birkhauser- stripe must be allowed to blow off or an ex plosion would result, and further, that when the faots were known, either by investigation or otherwise, the vindi cation would be complete. This stripe have tried to create the impression that a large amount of money had.' been lost to the State during my administra tion, but for their sakesl am very sor ry to say there has not been a dollar lost although millions have passed through my hands in the moBt- tryr ing times that this county ever knew or erer w.HI know. J. C. McBride.. Church Uoyyo on Railroad Legislation. Lincoln, Jan. 23, 1S79. Messrs R. A. Kennedy, S. Barnard, J. F. Warner, Amos Yates, rm. II. Kcckley, E. Lash, and W. A. Polock, Members of the Legislature ; Gentlemen : Your favor of the 17th ihst., roooiv ed, and I have given the suggestions therein oontained, as much consider ation as my various other duties have permitted, and in reply thereto I sub mit the following: Tho matter of legislative control over railroads, is one that has for a few years past, engrossed the atten tion of the greatest thiukcrg of the age; and is of vital importance to the farmers and the producers of the whole country. To regulate and lim it the freight and passenger rates over the roads of our own State by law, has never, until the present session, been seriously urged upon the legisla ture. In order to determine whether suoh legislation is desirable, there are many things to be considered. One of the first In importance Is, the need we have for more railroad s ; there is comparatively but a small portion of our productive acres near enough to; railroads to seoure mar kets for the harvest they will soon produoe. At the present time, railroad build ing is in a progressive state, many lines are in prooesB of construction or extension, and many more are pro jected, and under favorable circum stances will soon be built ; indeed it is not difficult to believe that if such en terprises are euoouraged and support ed, but a few years will elapse before one or more lines will ruu through each organised county iu the State. This of itself will create a healthy competition, and secure to the people tho reduction of rates that are desired. All these new railroads are carried on by foreign capital ; without the aid of such oapital railroad building would immediately oea.Be. Capital is timid, invested in new enterprises it can yield but a meagre return for a long time. It is advanced upon the ex pectation of the future inorease of the population and traffic of the State. Array the people in hostility to tho railroads, and capital is tnarmetTf not a dollar will be advanced to aid in de veloping a country, for a people who willnotaccept friendly co-operations; not another mile of railroad will be built, and for years to come we will have to get along with such railroads as we now have. We need more roads; wo need them at onoe. Our State should be gridironed with them. We need their friendly co-operation in bringing in settlers, in developing our ogricultural interests and in carrying our products to market. There may be. aud undoudtedly are, cases of un just oppression by railroadB, of people and localities, but to correct suoh abuses as we have, if it were possible to do it by law, would be but poor recompense for the Btoppage of our railroad building in the State. Such legislation has been tried In older states that had twenty miles of railroad to our one. and an hundred time the amount of railroad business, and in nearly every case the result has been disastrous to the producers, so muohso, that the advocates of such Iowa havo boon tho-Srat to favor and vote for repeal, and in faot, it"Das be come to be believed that competition and friendly settlement of difficulties between communities and railroad are the only successful means of se curing fair and just rates for transpor tation. Again, the present proposed war upon railroad interests seemed to be political In its character and Is be ing waged under tho leadership of those who have never done anything especially for tho agricultural interests of the State. It seems to hate been inaugurated by disappointed politio- ianp, who, under the guise of friend ship for the farmer, would seoare their own political or unworthy end?. So far as my observation gres, the Grange, representing na it does, the real producers of the State, fs in fa vor ; for the present at least, of secur ing railroad concessions, co-operation and construction, by friendly dealing and adjustment, rather than to jeop ardize the material interests of the State for the uncertain benefits to be derived from a war on railroads. In conclusion permit me to fay. that if fhp time shall enrrie when it is necessary rn protect the farmer by legislation. I shall be found with the foremost working to secure the desired result. I have the honor fo remain Your? Resppctfnllv, Chttrcit Howe. i i TK?'ScM?5r &W , 'SrSimim'AarTfc SH S f ?5!1 A writer In the Chicago Standard says that the initials B. & M. R. R. in Neb. might be rendered the "Best Managed Railroad Run in Nebraska."' The old City Hotel, Omaha, was burned down last week. The bill foran "Eight hour" law in Nebraska has been killed, as It ought to have been. The Legislature should be very careful in voting to build more Nor mal schools. To educate teacheis is a good titiug, but like any other profes sion, they fthould pay for it them selves. Nebraska City Press. Those are our sentiments if they want more educating than can be ac quired under the common school law.
