Ol'tt PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Little more than a year ago there wore
not to exceed one hundred scholars, proba
b!y, in attendance upon tho public
schools of Fktttsmouth. To-day there
are over one Lundred and fifty names
registered in the Third war 1 school alone,
with over a hundred at each of the Firt
and Second ward schools, making, proba
bly, four hundred scholars actually at
tending the public schools of the city at
tho present time. The great increase is
owing to the fact4that the directors have
determined to employ none but first-class's
teacher?, and have provided comfortable
houses in which to hold schools. We
are not so well acquainted with the con
dition of affairs in the Second and First
ward schools, but the Third ward school
is so full that it h3S become an absolute
necessity to secure more-echcol room or
turn awaj' a portion of the scholars. We
i are assured bv Mr. Martindalc. Princina!
nf ? :.. w ;t ?,-.,t.-..;kTa i.-
2il sitting room for the number of
scholars now on hi lists, while there are
matij' more who have mad? application
and desire to attend the school. We
trust cur worth' Boatd of Directors will
not slack their energy just ycr, but will
provide r. way for educating these young
raiti Is that are seeking knoweledae.
The man who throws an impediment in
way of educating the gro vth of the
coantr' is assuming a gravo responsi
bility, and we know that our School
Board h not composed of this class of
men. They believe in the "onward"
march of knowledge.

The LanL of tha above namo will corn
I meuci lusinws Mouthy morning, Jan.
J 8th, with a fu-1 paid up capital of $50,-
000. Ihe ofheers are John ritzgcrald,
President; C. II. Parmele, vice-Presi
dent: John B Clark, cashier, and T. W.
Evans. Ass't Cashier. Tho old bank-
inS loaso cf Tootle, II;
discontinued, the Firit.N
ilanna & Clark is
National su.-ced
ing to their business and becoming re
sponsible for all their liabilities. All de
posits and olher indebtedness of the old
bank are transferel to the First Nation
al, Messrs. Tootle, II anna and Clark
being each stockholders in the new bank.
The great advantage to tue town and
country end to the individual business
man which a National bank pos.etses
over ft private banking o&tablishmcnt, is
too well known to require sj ecial mention
from u. In recommending ''The First
National Bank i f Piatismouth, Nebras
ka," to the people of the City a-.d State,
we cannot do so in more Gtting language
than that used by the Comptroller of the
Curreuey in his annual report as follows:
A well managed National Bank with a
bona fide paid-up capital, is not a danger
ous institution in 11123' community. A
deliberate, legitimate investment of cap
ital in banking bj' men, who, in a majori
ty of cases, have had the sagacity, the
enterprise, and the prudence to make
their own money, men who are usually
tha most reliable membersof society, can
hardly be considered unwise, ceitainly
not injurious to the interests of the peo
ple in whose midst it is made.
A National Bank affords a safe place
for the deposit of all the little hoards
aud savings which otherwise would be
unemployed. It aggregates these into a
fund which becomes useful and powerful
in stimulating trade and enterprise.
There is reason to believe that the Na
tional Banks organized durum the last
if year in places previously without banking
iiicuuies nave naa no little instrumental
ity in helping to bear the strain that
comes with every autumn. They have
paid out in their several localities the cur
rency furnished to them, while they have
called out and utilized for the public
good large sums of money previously
distributed among and held by the peo-
file in small amounts; and iu this they
lave contributed to the annual supply of
money required in the West, and which
otherwise would have been draivn from
tho Eastern cities.
I therefore do not hesitate to recom
mend that provision be made for the or
ganizaiion of National Banks wherever
they may be needed.
The First National has "a bonafi le
paid up capital," and the stockholders
are among the most responsible men of
the place, being, in the language of the
Comptroller, generally "men who have
had the sagacit', the enterprise and the
prudence to make their own uione'."
Mr. Fitzgerald is well known as one of
the wealthiest men in the State, and
one who has made ever- dollar ot his
vast wealth br his own energy and in
dustry.
Mr. lV-ruicle is well known in
thN community as a wealthy citizen aud
a careful business manager, while Mr.
f'lark (upon whom much depends as
cashier) has had large experience in the
banking business, and his success is the
bestevilenee of his merit. Mr. Evans
will always be found behind the counter
to accommodate the customers, and his
well known reputation as an accountant
and book keeper is a sufficient guarantee
agninst an3' mistakes on his part.

had a long talk to-day with Mr. John

and, among other things, he presented
one reason why the Republican country
had not been sooner settled, which was
certainly a good one, besides being now.
It was that, the Republican valley being
the choicest portion of tho whole west,
Spotted Tail, and his band had taken
possession of it with a determination to
hold it, and they had fought long and
hard, and had been successful in main
taining supremacy over it for a long iime.

HOUSE BUPNED.
As we approached the city, tho first
thing that met our view was the residence
of Dr. 3IcKesson in fames. It was
neail- consumed when we first saw it,
and a large number cf people were
looking cn, having done all they could
to save it, without avail. This was the
oldest frame building in Lincoln, and was
situated a short distance north of the
State University. It was worth, prob
ably, $1,000. Wo did not learn the
origin of the fire, cor the amount of
furniture, etc , destroyed.

The f'eusc Journal was read, vthudi
showed that on the last day cf the sess
ion, the Speaker declared the House ad
journed in Eccordance with a concurrent
resolution previously passed. This does
away wi;h the argument that the Leg
islature had no right to assemble be
cause there was not a quorum present at
the adjournment.
As soon as the journal was read and
approved, Mr. Elum Clark oflered a res
tdution that the Legi-lature adjourn,
both Houses concurring at 10 a. ui. to
day. On a motiou to suspend tho rule?, a
fair majority vote in the negative, and
the resolution wa lain over under the
rules. If tho vote on the suspension of
the rules is any indication of the senti
ment of tho members, the resolution will
fail. Several bills were introduced and
passed to a second reading, and were
referred to the Committee of the Whole.
Among them is one providing for the
payment cf the erection of the tempo
rary Insane Asylum, one in relation to
Penitentiary matters, and one for the
purpose ot developing the Salt interests
of the State. Ther6 were twenty-three
members of the House present at roll

man will be on hand to-day with his cer
tificatc, and wiil warm a seat in the Se
nate chamber. Mr Kennedy of Sarpy,
offered a resolution that all new business
arising after the adoption of the resolu
tion, Should be disposed of before taking
up any old business. The Senate re
fused to suspend the rules, and the reso
lution went over until to-day. This was
all the legislative business transacted in
cither house, and both bodies adjourned
until 10 a. m. to-day.
THE IMPEACHMENT.
At 2:45 the President of the Senate
announced that tho hour had arrived for
the setting of the Court of Impeaeh
meui,,for tho trial of John Gii3e?pie,
State Auditor, and the Sergeant at arms
was directed to make proclamation ac
cordingh', also to notify the auditor and
the manage r3 on the part of tho Ilou.-e.
The parlies appeared, and manager
Galey asked thst the trial might be ad
journed from day to day, not to exceed
a period of ten days, until both parties
were read-. Iu accordance with this re
quest, the Senate, sitting as a court of
impeachment adjourned till 3 p. m. to-day-
OENERAL MATTERS.
Wc are not much given to surmising,
neither are we much on "suggestions," j
(which reminds U3 to say that tfce
great suggester is here ; but not having
a voice or a vote he does not appear to
amount to any more than common mor-
lab) hor.e? w nUlxr attempt to
.ideate-what m may suppose will be
uone nere, or to inuicuje wuai sc emus
should be done. We leave this for the
members themselves, and we doubt not
they are fully competent for the task.
The members generally are very reticent,
and it is difficult to ascertain what tho
mind of any member is upon almost any
subject. In fact, we doubt if very many
of the members know themselves exactly
what they do want, and intend to be
guided almost emtirely by circumstan
ces. We think it is very certain, how
ever, that a session will be held, of
what length we. will not venture a guess,
unless wo flud something more interr
ing to write ubout in cur next. We will
"interview" some great man, and tell
the readers of the Hzrald what he
thinks.
MeMnrphy, of tho Eiair Tinici, is in
attendance here, ready to post the read
ers cf his sheet a3 to the doings at the
capital, and he will also act as the cor
respondent of the Omaha Republican,
lie will be remembered a.s the corres
pondent cf that journal during the last
session.
There aro proportionate:' few lobby
ists here, but they wiil undoubtedly
Hock in when it becomes known that a
fosion is to ba held. A3 usual, tho
Tichnor is headquarters, at which place
wo obtain our tack.
LATER. Lincoln, 10 12 m.
The principal feature cf tho session cf'
the Legislature this a m, was a resolution
introduced in the Senate by lion. O A
Abbott, reciting that, whereas there are
reports that Hon B F Hilton, Senator
from Yv'ashingnon Co., has removed from
his district, and is new a resident of Lin
coln, and that in consequence ho is dis
qualified from holding hi3 scat a-? Sena
tor from said district therefore, that a
committee cf three bo appointed to cn
quire into said reports and report to the
Senate. Tha resolution authorizc-3 the
committee to send for persons and pa
pers. It is generally talked here that
Senator Larsh's seat wiil be contested
by 3Ir Newman, on the grounds that
money was used to secure the eicct'.ouof
Larsh, in that ho bought u; the demo
cratic party for $200. The story of
course is supremely ridiculous. If h
was charged that ha paid a rcsonable
sura we might believe it; but whaa it U
said that he paid the enormous Euni of
$200; when it h
a well known fact that
their commercial value in t'a3 political
market would net exceed 75 cent.?, the
story falls to the ground: The move
ment against Senator Hilton indicates a
fresh cropping out of the old soro, and
unless wiso councils prevail, and mem
bers drop their personal hates and heart
burnings, a lirely ti-ae may bo looked
for. - . II.

in the Fisk-MansGeld libel casj, and it
is said the Grand Jury has indicted him

for the shooting, bat it is undoubtedly
in consequence cf the pending trial, ar.d
the various reports in connection.
TIip nx-s:ej2tlon of jUulilnleil Cur
roiicy. The fallowing changes in the regula
tions governing the redemption of de
faced and u-uii'atcd currency of the Uni
ted States, wiil go into effect c-n tho
first of January :
After that date the defaced and muti
late? United States notes a"bd fractional
currency, instead cf being redeemable as
now cy th3 treasurer cf the United
States, suject to a disccant fbr mutila
tion, will be redeemable at their full value
in new notes or currency, by the treasur
er, and the several assistant treasurers
and designated depositories of the Uni
ted State, and all national bank deposit
ories; and will be received at their full
value rvall ciacers ct the treasury do
partment, in payment of currency due
to the United States; Provided that
three-ilfths cf the original proportion cf
such notes are presented m- cne piece.
Fragments cf less thsn five-eights will be
redeemable only by lha treasurer of the
United States. If more than cne-half,
and les than Cve-eights, is presented,
half the thee value wiil be paid. Less
than half a note wiil be redeemed only
on affidavit that the missing portion has
been totally destroyed.
Under the new rules, any person, firm
bank, corporation or public officer, will
be permitted to forward $5 or upward in
fractional currency, and $50 and upward
in legal-tender notes, for" redemption, to
the treasurer, by express,- at the expense
of the department, under the govern
ment contract with tho Adams Express
Company. Heretofore nothing less than
$500 w as entitled to transportation at
government expense. A circular embody
ing these changes is now preparing in
the treasury office. Tho officers of the
treasury aro determined to remove all
cause f or complaint concerning the con
dition cf the United States currency,
and to that end have concluded to ex
tend to all the mot liberal facilities for
its redemption. It is expected at the
departmect that the new rules will re
sult in a speedy and marked improve
ment of the condition of the currency.
