PLATISMC'JTH NEBRAKSA., THURSDAY, FEB. 2. 171. THAT IlKSItiN'ATIO.V. We find the following proceedings in tiie Senate on the 25th : Mr. Pottenger tenJercd his resignation ss a members of this body. Mr. Tennant raoved that the resigna tion be accepted. Those voting in the affirmative were Messrs. Brown, Hilton, Sheldon, Tuck er and Tennant .". Negative Messrs. Cropsey, Hawaii, Metz, Thomas and Mr. President 5. So the motion was lost. A vote to accept a retiynntion from Mr. Pottenger is equivalent to saying that he is entitled to the scat he seeks to resign. This action would leave a va cancy from the Seventh District, because Mr. Kennedy could not be allowed a seat unless it was proven that he was elect ed ; and if it be proven that he is enti tled to the teat, then Mr. Pottenger certainly has nothing to resign. We are at a Lss to understand Mr. Brown's vote, as he is Chairman of the commit tee that reported, vnunimowily, against Mr. Pottenger, saying that he whs not entitled to a seat in that body, and rec ommended the passage of a resolution to that effect. The other gentlemen voting to accept the resignation are more conn-lent, for they all voted to stave off an investigation (as did Mr. Brown, also), until after the Senatorial election, thus virtually claiming that he was enti tled to a seat and a vote in that body- We hal intended to say nothing further in regard to this content, as we conceive that all justice has been outraged, and that men who call fur its vindication are laughed at by men whom the people have a right to expect different things of; but as the only argument (?) in favor of the action in the case we have heard ad vanced by any of the participants on Mr. Pottenger's side is that it is of a piece with the Rock Bluffs contest in 100. We shall not attempt to discuss this proposition, as the facts on either side are tolerably well understood by the readers of the Hkkai.d ; but there is at least oi.e little difference, which we de siro to call attention to, and then we are done with the subject, except to report facts as they may transpire. In the contest in lSt'i'i, the seats of Messrs. Maxwell, Chnp!n, B--11 and Hathaway were contested in the Hon '?, and that of Messrs- llanna and Caduian in the Sen ate; and each and every one of them refused to go into an election for United States Senator until the investigation was had and it was decided whether or not they were entitled to such vote. There was certainly no rascality there ; if there was any in the throwing out of the vote we know nothing of it. as it was done solely by the Board of Canvassers in ac cordance with the advice of Mr. Potten ger, one of the Board. We believed, at that time, that he was acting honestly. A. R. Knton, Chancellor Elect. The following history of A. II- Benton, Chancellor elect of the Nebraska State University, is taken from the "Living Pulpit," a book published in Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct., 1S-V7, by W. T. Moore. Allen Richardson Benton, wa3 born in the town of Ira, caytiga County. N. Y., October 1. 1SJ2. Very early in life he had an ardent desire for learning, which was fully grr.t;tiod by his parents until from too much mental labor, his health, filled, which made it necessary for him to give up his studies and seek the res toration of physical strength in laboring on a farm. This was a severe stroke to his youthful ambition, but lie submitted to it as gracefully as ho could, with the hope that he would yet be able to com plete his education. At the age d fifteen, under the preach ing of Dr. S. V. Shcpard and John M. Hartlett, he l.acame a member of the Christian Church. At the age of twenty-one having en tirely recovered his health, the old desire for feerning revived, and after due prep aration at the i niton Academy. New York, in the Jail of 1SJ.", he wa matric ulated in Bethany College. While at College, he was distinguished for close application to his studies integrity of character, and a faithful discharge of his oblisations as a student and a Christian, lie was graduated Bachelor of Arts in -Tulv. 1 SIT, dividing the first honors of the class with Robert Graham, now pre siding officer of the College Arts in Ken tucky University, he delivery the Greek, and Graham the Latin Salutatory. In the fall of 1S4S he became perma nently established as principal of Fair view "Academy, Rush County, Indiana, in which place lie continued six years, during which time he succeeded in build ins a highly prosperous school. He was married June 2. 1 s." I . to Silence How ard, daughter of Pr. Howard, of Yolney, New York. Having ben elected to the Professor ship of Amient Languages- in North western Christian University, he spent part of the year 1.U attending the Rochester University, New York, in the study of the Hebrew, unlor the instruction of Ir. Cowanf In the spring or lS-. lie opcnd a preparatory school in the Northwestern Christian University building, and in the fall of the same year the College was opened. He continued in the discliarge of the duties of the Chair of Ancient Languages until the summer of 1S.1, when he was elected President of the University, which position he stiil occu pies. President Kenton possesses a strong, vigorous, active intellect. lie is quick in' his movement, and his mind is char acterized by very sharp angles, lie throws his whole soul into whatever he undertakes, ami his career demonstrates that he is not wanting in executive tal ;nt and mental power. To the foregoing history, which brings us on onlv to the fall of 1S6T, we may add, from" very reliable sources, that after presiding over the North Western Christian University till ISoS, the deli cate health of his wife makin? it neces ary to ehamre localities, he removed to Alliance, Ohio, where he has been since teaching and presiding over a flounsh- ln1lCop;nf 'that rrovidenec would per mit the Northwestern Christian Lm- :ity, has rc-called President Benton, st a very fine salary, to return and pre side ov eT it again. This hows the high esteem in which belabored ; for the org term of thirteen years, lor thoy oleSed him to the Presidency of the orthwestern Christian University a year before ho could leave his ensagwacu. at tSVK to the C!ia:Kc!'.o:h;p of our .Sf.Hc rivcrity, the Board of Regents have been entirely unprejudiced by the religious tenets of the people with which he is connected. Indeed the testimonials in his favor are from leading men of a number of the different denominations of the day. In his favor there were testimonials speak ing in the highest possible terms of his fitness fur the position to which we have elected him, from such men as Senator Morton, Gen. Garfield, Congressman Coburn, Judge Porter, Treasurer Mar tindale of Indiana Agricultural Fund, Prof. G. W. I loss, of the Indiana Uni versity, President Graham, of Hocker College Lexington, Ky., Chancellor Bowman, of Kentucky University. Also there were testimonials or statements very highly complimentary to Mr. Ben ton, from principal men of our own State, r-uch as Congressman Taffe, and many others of whom we might make honorable mention. It is the intention of the Board to have the University conducted on very liberal principles, and to prevent th in troduction of sectarian bitterness by electing Professors from the different de nominations in the State. Rkoent. IIEAIIT-IIKMUXJ IKAUFOy. A Young- r,I.T PrrlshM from Cold a iil i.xlnsustiuu. From tbe L neoln Journal. A little over a fortnight ago, Mr Reinch, a man living about IS miles from Lincoln, not far from Oak Grove, came to town with his daughter, a girl about 111 years of age. He left her to find a situation as a domestic while he proceedc d to Nebraska City on business. The girl after seeking a place for a day or two unsuccessfully, started home on foot in the bitter cold of Thursdaj, the 12th of this month, facing the nortli wind. She was seen by several persons, walking very rapidly toward her home. She passed the house of Mr. Webber, eight miles out from this place, about 4 o'cl'k p. m. This was the la?t ever seen of the unfortunate girl in the land of the living. Her mother was away from home, as well as her father. Her father soon after came back from Nebraska Citj-, and seeking his daughter learned that he had pone home. On arriving home he was distresed to find that she not been there. A search was immedi ately institute, but until yesterday no trace was found of the poor child. Yesterday her body was discovered on a bleak ridge only two miles from her father's residence. So it seems that the unfortunate creaturo faced the pitiless storm for 10 miles across the bleak prai rie to fall chilled and exhausted, in sight, perhaps, of her home. Somebody is to blame for this sad ca tastrophe or the lonely child would not have been permitted to venture out on such a ilay, into the jaws of death. Mr. Reinch and family were Germans, and had recently arrived from the Vu.tb.er Land. Irwj; ;;'! C'ig-Rr. A conductor on a New York train told me tbe other day that thieves, or some .f" them, who travel on the rail for a liv ing, at the expense of honest people, have invented a trick for the purpose of robbery. The device consists of a drug ged cigar, the smoking of which pro duces a gradual but almost deadly effect upon the victim. The game consists of the operator making himself respectably present in the smoking car of a train, and at the right time he engages in con versation with a stranger, and after a while offers him a cigar, which he takes from his own pocket with a handful of others. The operator, unnoticed, then smokes a cigar taken frnui anothor, and soon the gentleman feels dizzy and falls asleep, but soon awakens to vomit freely in a state of copious perspiration. Af ter his sickno.-s is over, or upon arriving at the end of hia journey, lie discovers that he has been robbed of his pocket book. Huston Courier. Advance Payment Tor Jfowspnpcrs No subscriber worth retaining will ob ject to the pay-in-advanec system. Those who wanted to hear Jenny Lind sing had to pay in advance ; and what were her divine strains compared with those whieh How from editorial pens? You can't take your seat in a ricketty mail coach, or a ily-from-the-track rail road car, without paying in advance for the risk of being kiiled. If you would hear a concert or literary lecture, or see Tom Thumb, or the Siamese twins, you must plank down your twenty five, or fifty, or one hundred cents be fore you can pass the threshold. Nay, if any one has so little regard for his own character as to want to read Bar num's autobiography, he must first pay for it. And yet men hesitate and cavil about paying in advance for a paper fur nished at a price on the very brink and utmost verge ot prime cost. A trivouB Wrong. Why is it that there is such a repug nance on the part of parents to putting their stns to a trade? A skilled me chanic is an independent man. Go where he will his craft will bring him support. He need ask favors of none. He ha literally his fortune in his own hand. Yet foolish parents ambitious that their sons should "rise in the world," as they sa- are more willing that they fchould study for a profession, with the chances of even moderate success heavily against them, or run the ri-k of spend ing their manhood in the ignoble task of retailing dry gopds, or of toiling labori ously at the accountant's desk, than learn the trade which would bring them nianh- strength, health and independ ence. In point of tact, the method they choose is tlis one lcast likely to achieve the advancement aimed at. for the sup ply of '-indidates for positions as ''er rand boys," dry goods clerks and kin dred occupations, is notoriously over stocked: while, on the other hand, the demand for really skilled mechanics of every description, is as notoriously be yond" the supply. The crying need of this country to day is for skilled labor ; and that father who neglects to provide his son with a useful trade, and to see that he thoroughly masters it, does him a grievous wrong, and runs the risk of helping, by much, to increase the stock of idie and dependent, if not vicious, members of society. It is stated in the report of the Prison Association, lately issued, that of fourteen thousand live hundred and ninety-six prisoners con fined in the penitentiaries of thirty States, in ISoT. reventy per cent, or over ten thousand of the number, had never learned a trade. The fact conveys a lesson of profound interest to those who have in charge the training of boys, and girls, too, for the active duties cf The iron Cross, with a white ribbon, which is bestowod upon non-combattants who have done great service on the field of battle, was sent to the Chief Surgeon of the Saxon army corps, and rejected by him, with the remark that in considera tion of the perilous nature of his servi ces, he felt as much entitled to the Iron Cross with the black and white ribbon as any soldier of them all. Tr. Newman reports a spring of natu ral indelible ink in California. Near it is a spring so acid that with a little sugar mixed with the water thereof it makes delicious lemonade, and as nieh it is given to the guests at the hotel as a "cooling levers go." A good story is told of a Pittsburgh editor who is authority on game (and game laws,) and eloquently at home on the " breezy uplands" where the ruffled grouse most do congregate. While out gunning the other day he brought down a new and strange bird, of some aquatic fpcciep, as its webbed feet testified. Carrying it home in triumph, he sent over to his next door neighbor, who thoroughly sympathizes with him in his lova for out-door sports, and possessed an equally ardent love for ornithological knowledge. '"There," said the editor, "is the bird. You see it is too large for a duck, and yet scarcely large enough for a goose. Does it belong to the ansemies, or is it a true abatiara? If so it is the anas Lost-lias or the ana3 fponsa? Or, per haps it may be the annas galorilicukita? 1 am really at a loss how to classify it." 'I think I can assist you," replied the neighbor. "I can classify it mighty well. It's one of those rare PoLnd ducks I bought yesterday. The mate's in my coop yonder." Life has been called a warfare. Blessed, then, is the periodical armistice of the Sabbath. Blessed not merely as a day of rest, but also a retrospection. It is only in the pauses of the fight that we can see how the battle is going. We often censure the conduct of oth ers, when, under the same circumstances, we might not have acted half as well. Observe what directions your thoughts and feelings most readily take when you are alone, and you will then form a tol erably correct opinion of your real state. Lyman beecher said to a theological student : "Thoroughly master 3'our sub ject seek the aid of the Holy Spirit and then let nature caper." Grace Greenwood, in comparing differ ent kinds of women says: "When the pleasure-boat is capsized in a squall, the most fastidious ladies' man has a pro found respect for the woman who can swim." California has a town named Purga tory which is said to be full of pretty girls. A Pennsylvania editor ?ys its the purgatory he would iike to go to, and he would not want any prayers for his release from it, either.
