But this will make Thurman popular with his par ty, generally, North as well as South. The Republican State convention of Michigan met at Lansing on the 6th and nominated Hon. James V. Campbell for Judge of Supreme Court; and adopted the following neat little platform, which is eminently Republi can in every word and sentence z. Besolved, That the Republican par ty, having redeemed its pledge to make the greenback dollar worth one nqndredoents in gold or silver and, havinggiven to the country a safe and flexible ourrency, well adapted to the industrial ueeds of the people, we, therefore, oppose any radical change in cur present financial system, and oongratulate the oouutfy on the suc cessful resumption of specie payments and the signs of returning prosperity in all branches of business. Besolved, That we invite In this election the co-operation of all men of whatever former party affiliation, who are in favor of financial honesty and a safe and sound basis for tho bus iness of the country. St. Joe & C. B. gentlemen treated the movement with the utmost cordiality and friendship, and indicated the terms on which they would complete and operate the road from Phelps to Brownville in connection with their own line, until suoh time as the Q. M. & P. R. S. Co. deBifed to use the same; and that if the Brownville representatives would procure from the Board of Directors of the Q. M. c F. R-. R. Co. at Quinoy, an agreement to the terms so indicated, the arrange ment would surely be consummated. At Quinoy, the Brownville repre sentatives were received with open arms. They were invited to the meet ing of the Board of Directors of the Q. M. & P. R. R. Co. They were so licited to state to the Board the wiBh of the people of Brownville, which Mr. Carson did, in a straightforward and business like way, which pro duced the best impression. Mr. Car son alluded to the rumor, found cur rent in Quinoy, that the Brownville people bad permitted the B. Ft. K. & P. R-. R. to be surrendered up to strangers. He said that was not true; that Brownville and all our people had always stood true to the Q. M. & B-H. R. Co., and that we were now, and had been for three years, waging battle, offensive and defensive, in be half of the projected system, and through route of whioh the Q M. & P. R. R. are parts; and that we were holding the latter for co-operation with the former. It is sufficient to say that the Board of Directors of the Q. M. & P. R. R. made oheerful and prompt response to the request of the Brownville repre sentatives, and to the fullest extent asked, and expressed a desire to do any reasonable thing at any time to return as compensation to Brownville for the bonds raised. Also to do any reasonable thing to facilitate the con struction of .their road from Brown ville eastward through Missouri. The agreement between the K. C. St. Joe & C. B. R. R Co. and the Q. M. & P. R. R: Co., as between themselves, has been secured, and the road will be completed and operated between Brownville and' Phelps certainly within sixty dayH by the K. C. St. Joe & C. B., under a lease contract on the right of way and franchise of the Q. M. &P. R. R. Co. until the latter is so situated as to operate it themselves, when they will do so. This brings to Brownvilla-at once theK. C St. Joe & C. B. R. R., which is an important, strong, and well managed railroad. It also insures greater certainty of the Q. M. & P. R. R. This last named road has been in the last year constructed thirty miles westward from KIrksville, Missouri. Thus far it has been constructed by the strong men of Quinoy, and is still owned by them. It is so probable as to be almost inevitable, that a combi nation will be made that will force thatroad through to Brownville with in one year from this time. In thelri altitudes to the Q. M. & P. R. R. there is a colncidence-between Quincy and Brownville. Quincy is in Illi nois, a different State on the east, with a projected co-operative auxilia ry IlIinoisRailroad ; and Brownville is in Nebraska, a different State on the west, with a projected co-operative auxiliary Nebraska Railroad. Quincy has given to the Missouri corporation five hundred thousand dollars in bonds, and Brownville has given the same corporation twentv thousand dollars In bonds. Quincy is the second city in the State of Illi nois, and if this railroad system is ef fected the coincidence will be carried still further by Brownville's being the second city in Nebraska. In thus extending- her- hand to Brownville, Quinoy finds, and al ways will, the steady and hearty re sponse of welcome, weloome, thrice weloome. net's orowd said it was a cowardly trick, by Hay ward, not recognized by the "code," but Hay ward would not consent to fight with any other weapon, and so the terrible affair end ed for the time. STATE NEWS AXD NOTES. Last week the President of the United States sent the name of John N. Runyan. of this" place, to the sen ate for confirmation as postmaster of Waraqw, which was Immediately complied with, and Mr. R. will now enter on the disobarge of his duties under the fourth appointment, the first having been made by Andrew Johnson, the two following by Presi dent QraDt, and the last by Ruther ford B. H.&y ea.-rrKorthern Indianian. When we last 6aw postmaster Run yan then palled "Johnny" he was about "knee high to a duok." If we remember correotly what wa have read of him In the Indianian, he was a soldier for the union and lost a leg in the service. The above dipping from his home paper is evidence that he is as popular and trustworthy a civ ilian cs he was a soldier. It does our heart good to hear o the honorable and usefnl lives of the boys of War saw, whom we knew when their lit tle wants buttoned up behind:, and The following are some of the new laws passed by the Nebraska Legis lature: A new road law. To protect game. Fixing usury at 7 and 10 per oent. Appropriating $75,000 for a wing to the oapitol. Establishing a school of reform at Kearney. Repealed the law requiring the pub lication of delinquent tax lists. Prohibiting County Treasurers hold ing third term. Appropriated $35,000 for building two additional wings to the insane hospital. To create State Boards of Agricul ture and Horticulture. To provide for the payment of ex penses of Nebraska weather service, that is, to pay some hard up Uni versity professor for telling at the end of each month what kind of weather we have had. Scarlet fever rages at Falls City. Hon. J. B. Finch was to begin a course of lectures in Humboldt last Saturday. Our exchanges begin, to chroni cle prairie fire calamities. It is about the eeason now for the common pro gramme of these horrors to begin. Humboldt Sentinel: The hog trade Ib brisk jUBt now ; our farmers are getting a good price, and every porker that is fit is brought to market. The Seward Beporter reports the particulars of a fist fight between Lieut. Gov. Cams and a man named Ruby, all of Seward. They were parted before either fellow said "nuff." Seward Beporter : It is not so very profitable after all to sue a news paper man for libel on the least provo cation. In a case just decided in the diBtriot court at Omaha, wherein An drew Rose water was plaintiff and Bine Eaton, of the Kearney Press was de fendant, the jury brought in a vefdiot for the defendant, after an absence of less than ten minuted. So our. friend "Andy" has to fork over the costs. J. B. Finch and I. S. Hascall, finally had a discussion, last Thurs day evening, in Omaht:, on prohibi tion. The BepUblicdn says Finch got away with Hasoall's baggage quite easily. And tho latter retired a sad der, and it is hoped a wiser, man. It is very, probable that the B. & M. will move for speedy construction from Brownville, via Beatrice, to Red Cloud. It is talked now that the forc es are soon to be taken from the val ley and placed on the line between Beatrioe and Red Cloud. Furnas Co. Times. And we have very good reaBon for saying that the Valisca branch road will be built down to Brownville at an early day. Everybody says that the rein statement of Hon. Henry A. New man was just. What everybody says must be true. Neb. City Press. Yea especially Fenn Feun is "aw ful" happy over the result. At a meeting of tho State Board of Agriculture at Omaha last week a quarrel between the Linoolu and Omaha Interests was settled by an agreement Omaha agreeing to withdraw all hostility to the Fair this year at Lincoln, and Lincoln agreeing to concede the Fairs for the succeed ing three years to Omaha. The "Local" of the Lincoln Jour nal has been counting the post offices in Nebraska, and finds 663 of them. Post Master Towle, of Beatrioe, died on the 8th inst. The cars have reached Bloomlng ton, and also the telegraph. Fairmont Bulletin: The pass age of the Capitol Appropriation bill settles the question of oapitol removal for many years if not forever, and re moves from-Nebraska politics a ghost that would not "down" at any man's bidding. It could not be expected that this bill would please the peo ple of every section of the State, but nevertheless wo regard it as wise and needed legislation, as do a very large majority of the citizens of this coun ty. t- Dr. St, Louis, of Fremont, will be bung April 18th, for the murder of his wife. Gov. Nance has commissioned J. B.Barnes, ofPonca, as successor to Judge Valentine, to fill the unexpired term as judge of the sixth diBtriot of this State. The Omaha Herald Item, an- noucing the departure of Governor Nance for Washington, ie mean, low and despicable. The Governor went to Shenandoah, Iowa, and returned in three or four days after he left. State Journal'. The JETcarld is remarkable for uutiiiug in ore man ror its "mean, low and despicable"kpublications. State Journal : We believe it is now generally understood, at least in railroad circles, that Mr. William Irv ing, for many years theGeneral-Sup eflntendent of the B. & M. Railroad in Nebraska, will leave on the 15th Inst., for Chicago, where he will en ter upon the discharge of his duties as Purchasing Agent for the Burlington & Quincy Road. He Is succeeded by our townsman, Mr. A. E. Touzalln, who has heretofore been at the head of the Land Department of the Com pany. We are not informed as to whether Mr. Touzalin will make this city or Omaha his bead quarters. Crete preolnct. Saline county, last week voted $38,000 in bonds to the A. & N. R. R. Co, to aid the pro posed branch of that road from Firth to Crete. Democrat, of Kentucky, will suoceed McCreery, Democrat; B. F. Jonas, will succeed Eustis, of Louisiana; James B. Groome, Dennis, of Mary land; George G, Vest, Shields, of Missouri; Z. B. Vance, Merrimou", of North Carolina. These ar,e all Demo crats. George H. Pendleton, Demo crat, suoceeds Matthews, Republican, of Ohio; James D. Blatter, Democrat, succeeds Mitchell, Republican, of Oregan ; Wade Hampton, Democrat, succeeds Putterson, Republican, of South Carolina; Chandler, of Michi gan, succeeds Christiauoy and Carpen ter, of Wisconsin, succeeds Uowe. Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Min nesota, Mississippi, :iebra8ka, Nevaaa New Jersey, New Xork, Pennsylvan ia., Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and West Vir ginia will be represented in the new Senate as they were in the old. New Hampshire has not elected a succes sor to Senator Wadleigh, and at the extra session that State will have but one Senator, Mr. Rol lins, Republican. Iu full Senate the Demoorats will have 42 votes, the Republicans 33, and the Indepen dents 1 Senator Davis of Illinois. . Each party will be represented in the Senate by Ub strongest men. On the Republican sideareConkling, Blaine, Edmunds, Logan, Chandler, Carpen ter, Hoar, and a dozen others, all good organizers, shrewd managers, and able debaters. On the Democratic side are Bayard, Thurman, Pendle ton, Lamar, Hill, Vance, Vest, Hous ton, and others. With party ques tions In the foreground there will be warm work in the Senate and many brilliant debates. We have already spoken at length as to the situation in the House. The Democrats make this Classification : Democrats, 146; Independent Demo crats, 2 ; Republicans, 127 : Greenback Democrats, 7; Greenback Republicans 5; vacancies, G (including 4 monikers from California, 1 from New "icrk, and 1 from Texas.) The Greenbtok ers classify as follows: DeuidciatB, 141; Republicans, 129; Greenbaoksrs, 18. To say the least the situation" !as enough of uncertainty about it to make it extremely interesting. If the eighteen Greenbackers hold firm the eleotlon of W. D. Kelley as Speaker of the House is among the probabili ties. IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL OFFICERS. School District Business The Forty-Sixth Congress. Inter Ocean. The meeting of the Forty-sixth Con gress, March 18, will mark the begin ning of a new era of political excite ment. For the first time since 1860 the Democrats will have a majority in both houses, and that they will at tempt to carry out tbe-programme out lined by Senator Beck is almost cer tain. In view of the peculiar circum stances under whioh Congress will The attention 'of school officers is called to the approaohing annual meeting In each district, which must be held on the first Monday of April. NOTICE. The Director must give written or printed notice of the annual meeting at least fifteen days before, stating day, hour and place of meeting. (See Section 21, Sohool Laws.) CENSUS.

The census can be legaUt taken only at this time. (See Section 46 of School law.) THE ANNUAL MEETING, when assembled, should pursue the following order of business, unless speoial ciroumstanoes render some other more oonvenient: THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. The director's report should be reed for the information of the ineeting. It should embody: 1. A summary of all business trens aoted by the distriot or the Board dur ing the past year. 2. The number of mills of tax leTied by the district at the laBt annual meeting; also the number of mills levied by tbeCounty Commissioneis to pay bonds, or for other purposes connected with the schools. 3, Any other items which will be of use to, the distriot in arranging business for next year.

After this report is read, the Treas urer should present his vouchers for money paid, and settle with the Board. The full detailB of this set tlement should be noted on the Di rector's record, for future reference. ESTIMATES. The meeting should' next deter mine the number of months school shall be kept in the ensuing year. (See sec. 33 of school law). The Director should then present his estimate of the expenses necessary to be incurred the ensuing year, including: Directors wili observe that the an nual distriot report is much less com plicated than formerly. To supple menttbis briefreport, tbe'Directorwil) send with his report to the County Superintendent all the teachers' monthly reports he has- received dur ing the year ending April 1. 1879. Iu the Director's report the item, "number of mills of tax levied during the year ending April 1. 1879," should include taxes; which were levied in 1878, and no others. The law requires both Director and Treasurer to keep full and complete accounts of all district business trans acted by them. It is the duty of the district to furnish suitable books for this purpose. Such records properly .kept, will do much to expedite busi ness, prevent mistakes, and insure the most economical management of school affairs. S. R. Thompson, State Supt. Pub, Ins.
