Our people are now annoyed and ex cited by the reported misdoings of Chancellor Fairfield. Give us more wide-awake, active and efficient professors, and fewer tit ular dignitaries in our State Universi ty, and it will son become an honor to our State, and a needed educational institution in our commonwealth. Uv some means legislate political dicker ing out of its management and we will soon be freed from such professiona barnacles. hy not do away with the high sounding oflice of Chancellor, which so far has done nothing to honor our Slate's most commendable enterprise and much to cast blighting disrepute upon the institution which, above all else, should bo the anchor of our edu cational interests. Delegate the mo3t able, efficient and worthy Professor as President of the faculty. We think it would not be to the interests of the State, or to the University to select a known Sectarian, from our own ranks a3 Cnancellor ; howeTer we may com mend and appreciate his abilities. Taxpayer. Jin. Michael, of the Fremont Trib une, the Chairman of our Committee on legislative matters last year, ac quitted himself most admirably at the last meeting of the Press Association, and much of the action of the Associ ation is due to his foresight and tact. The Beatrice Express this week is a beautiful paper. 2sew clothes, clean press work, and a most excellent arti cle all about Gage county and Beat rice. The improvements and build ings in Gage county for 1878 are ralu ed at $172,628. Jr. Governor Cakxes presides over the Senate with dignity and fills tho "posish" admirably. Tnc Blair Pilot don't want any Nor mal - school in theirs' and goes for things in general down at Lincoln. The Beatrice Courier calls Senator Birkhauser a "certain old windy nin compeop from Richardson county." Tim Ponca Courier. Wigten & Wood, proprietors, comes to hand. Thanks brother Wigton, here's our X Wk have to thank Mr. Windham, our representative, for numerous bills and documents from tho Legislature. Mr. Steele of the Central City Courier is out and another party takes Ida Editorial tripod; the old U. P. fight did it. SrEAKER Matiiewsox is winning golden enconiums from friends and foes. lie is certainly an excellent pre siding officer. G. W. Browse, of Omaha, our young chicken fancier took the premium at Council Bluffs the other day in the poultry show there. Tite Crete Union says if Lincoln will only keep her nose cleaa and act white she will be selected as the place for holding the State Fair. v e know now how to account for the nico weather this month. Bo?s Stout mad, a proposition to build cells for the State, &c, and Doctor Miller accepts and says the State ought to take the Boss up. Xo wonder the skies look blue. . Illinois i3 trying to reduce the rale of interest to six per cent. If our leg islators reduce the rate of interest here, they must make better collection laws and reduce the rate of taxation or the problem of "cheap money" will as far off a3 ever. McNamara and $2,500 a yearthat's our motto; or re-construct the whole business and make a president of one of the faculty from the present Profess ors. One of tho two at once, if tho Leg islature do not do this th Regents should without any more ado. . If the big Omaha Herald had read tho little Plattsmouth Herald it would have learned that the revising Committee have already reported in favor of reducing our legal rate of in terest to 8 per. cent, with wholesome changes in our collection laws. Tiiat most excellent paper the Cr;te Union, II. M. Wells, sole proprietor, and now tho official Organ of the State Press Association not only gives the proceedings of the State Press Associ ation, at its late meeting, in full but has some very sensible articles on the prohibitory question, new before the public, on the stand of our U. S. Sen ators, and on State matters that pay every reader to peruse. We are only sorry the Herald has not the space to re-produce them this week. Speaking of the Indian transfer question and the action of our Sena tors, there is unquestionably two sides to the propriety of transferring the Indian management to tho War de partment. The army influence may not he the best in the world on the Indian, either. Without enteringinto a labored discussion on that point, we riso to remark, that no competent man, na honest man fit for the posi tion of Indian Agent, can be secured for a salary of $1,500 a year, and live or take a family out to an Indian Res ervation. That's the first great source of corruption. ThcMcBrido Investigation. Tuesday. Bankers Kountze, Eckman Ilanton, Yazel, Carson, and Wilson were called and examined. Some said tlioy got interest and others not. Mr. McLaughlin, of our bank, deposed as follows: A. W. McLanghlin. of Plattsmouth, had paid S1,1J?J on account of state de posits. II. A. Koenig.of Grand Island, form er state treasurer, testified he had re ceived interest ou funds deposited while state treasurer. Tbe examinations are nearly com pleted. One or two other bankers will be examined before the investigation is ended. C. II. Gould, of Lincoln, it seems, is an applicant for the post oflice there, in case Gen. Funke is not re-appointed. Gould has fairly earned some recog nition at the hands of the party, and if appointed, would no doul t make an efficient and useful officer of the Government. The Xorth Platte Xobraskian has changed hand3, Gantt goes out and Church tastes charge; what a change was there, my Countrymen. " Gad" Slaughter deserves tho thanks of every newspaper man in the State for many suggestions, kindnesses and business favors, this winter. CirURCH Howe thinks John Sher man killed the Greenback party Jan'y 1st by resumption: and he didn't come to Lincoln to "set up" with the corpse. Sexator Beck, of Burt county, a brother of U. S. Beck, of Kentucky, is winning enconiums from friend and foe alike. Mr. Beck, though a straight forward old fashioned democrat, is one of the best citizens of Burt county, and has tho respect of every man who knows him totally irrespective of par ty lines. The great JTew York Custom House fight is at an end, that is to say, the Senate confirmed the appointments of the President, and of course Mr. Conk- ing's friends, Collector Arthur and the Naval Officer are left out in the cold. Our senators were divided in their vote, Senator Saunders voting to con firm, and Senator Paddock to retain the old appointees. This may make another division in the'republican ranks, if Senator Conk ling still continues the fight. At home, here, the action of our Senators will be variously viewed, according as the parties have been favorable to President Hayes or otherwise, or as their interest in the patronage of this State dictates.

SeC. 8. No boy or girl shall be com mitted to said reform school for a long er term than he or she shall attain the age of majority; but the said board may, at any time after one year's con finement, discharge a boy or girl from said school, upon the representation of the superintendent, as a reward of good conduct and upon satisfactory ev idence of reformation.

Sec. 13. The state treasurer is here by directed to carry into effect section 14 of this act. benzine, on account of the want of stock and lack of patronage. Our winter school closes its present session in five more weeks. The Tovvne family is advertised to sing here cn the 4th inst.

Feb. 5. at par The Senate adjourned until Wednes day 3 o'clock, as a mark of respect to Senator Bunnell the House until Wednesday morning. A special train attended the funeral. The State Bar Association appoint ed a committee to solicit subscriptions for a monument to tho late Judge Gantt; the winch is a very handsome and appropriate thing to do. We do want a law on primary voting though, one that will prevent scoun drels from running tramps, bnramers, democrats and greenbackers into a re publican caucus, or vice versa. Our Representative, Mr. Polk, de sires those who wish reports, papers, with proceedings of legislature or bills sent them to write to him, or have the same published in the Herald. No representative can think of all his con stituents, and if you will just drop any of them a "postal," they will be glad to send papers and bilLs. Tns Hebron Journal ha3 a corres pondent who has been inventing a machine to wash, starch and do up men's characters, the proceeds he is getting from it are " getting mighty hungry." Tally one for Tefft. He answered Brown, of Omaha, (I)em.) on the reg istration business by saying that he never heard cf an objection to regis tration that was not urged in the in terest of fraud. There is a bill somewhere about the Legislature in regard to our high school bonds trying to legalize them. Our boys want to watch that bill and inform the Attorney that got it up that such a dodge is too thin. Sylvester Corning, of London derry, N. II., left his horse standing "out-doors all night, arrd he is now held In S300 bail to answer to a charge of jcruelty to animals. Keep your horse In-dj3r3 next time, Mr. Corning. An effort has been made to pass the Wisconsin Insurance law in this State. We have tho best authority for saying that the law never worked well there and that our present law is far preferable to thoso insured, and the revision Committee left the present law but some useless agitator intro duced another bill, which if passed is simply a temptation to crime, and a sure cause of increased insurance rates. Dsath of State Senator Dr. Bancell. This community was startled Sun day morning by a telegram announcing the sudden death the night before, of State Senator Dr. Bunnell, of Ashland. He returned home with all of us Fri day, seemingly as well as ever. That sudden and terrible disease of the heart has removed him from a sphere of usefulness and value to his fellow man. Dr. Bunnell was univer sally beloved and respected in the com munity where he lived. Mr. Polk, chairman of the com mittee on public schools, suggests some matters about "text books." The committee have this subject now in hand, and the proposition before them is that the Governor shall appoint two from each judicial district, with the state superintendent as chairman, who shall form a board to select text books uniform throughout the state and to remain the standard for five years. The propriety of uniform text books no one will deny, the above method of securing them is perhaps, as irood as can be devised. The question now is, ,,aI Vl.I,:v Ipublieau .i. v ... brasku Herald. u'ii mo uiittiigc u iikiuc ;n euce ana arbitrarily, or shall time be allowed for each district to work gradually into the system. On this head Mr. Polk invites correspondence. The Herald favors the board and the plan, but thinks it would be oner ous to order the change peremptorily. Let it bo gradual, replacing all books needed with the standard a3 fast as new ones are called for. Sec. 14. That tha said Nebraska 'state reform school for juvenile of fenders" be and the same is hereby lo cated at or near .in Cass count v, Nebraska, within a distance of three miles of the corporate limits of said city, as may be deemed the most prac ticable and expedient bv the said board of public lands and buildings, as they shall locate tho same; 1'rocvied, how ever, that the said city shall donate to the said board of public lands and builJings a tract of land containing not less than forty acres, upon which to locate the said institution. Sec. 15. That the said board shall, as soon as practicable after the pas sago of this act, but before tho first day of October, 1S73, take the necessary steps for the commencement and erec tion of suitable buildings for the in stitution, and the doing of such other wors as may uc deemed needful; and tho said board shall advertise for sealed proposals for the construction of the building or buildings they may deem necessary to erect. The said ad vertisement shall be for the space of tbroe weeks in the Lincoln-State Jonr- and the Ne- lTeeplng Water .Notes. The most important occurrence here during the past week was the trial of II. D. Wall from Elniwood, Sunday, Jan. 26th, Wall in a quarrel, with Silas Greenslate, in the store of the latter, struck Greenslate on the head with a two pound scale weight, inflict ing a severe wound. Wall was brought to trial before Squire Chase of this place, on the charge of assault with deadly weapon, with intent to kill, Silas Greenslate, plaintiff. Pottenger from Plattsmouth was council for plaintiff, and John Pickering of Weep ing Water was council for defendant. Tho charge brought against Wall was not sustained, but ho was adjudged guilty of assault with deadly weapon, and was lined one dollar and cost3. Mr. Thompson, from Syracuse, oc cupied the pulpit of the Congregation al church last Sunday evening. The Male Glee Club will give a con cert one week from next Wednesday veiling. The Philharmonics are preparing a concert to be given sometime in the future. Da Woodard and fsmily expect to leave Weeping Water. One of Wave Allen's mules got on a spree last aunday and kicked Frank Klepser in the face. It temporarily disfigured his ceuntenaacp, rnmewhat but he is doing well and no serious consequenco is apprehended. In the trial of Wall, Lawyer Picker ing evidently took an important step iu establishing hi3 reputation, for it is the opinion of all acquainted with the trial that his part was played with de cided ability. Jas. Rivett has moved onto tha farm of Bob Maxwell a few miles south west of here. Our Red Ribbon Club seems to be dying natural death. The club has met but onco this year. Lucile.

The people of Fillmore have good reason to feel proud of their represen tative at Lincoln, and those who know him best, and who have closely watch ed him in the discharge of his many duties there, consider such favorable mention as the above eminently fit ting. His committee work keeps him constantly engaged, yet he is enabled to give the full measure of attention required to other matters of legisla tion. He has introduced a bill for the repeal of the ten per cent, attorney clause, and though expecting much op position to the measure, ha will fight it thro if it takes all summer. Fair mont Enllettn. lie it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Nebraska : Section 1..

Sec. 3. The said board of bublic lands and buildings shall provide for the instructions of the inmates, and shall appoint a superintendent, a stew ard, a teacher or teachers, and such other officers as in their judgment the wants ot the institution may require and prescribe their duties.

For continuation of the surveys and work at Omaha, Nebraska City, Plaits mouth and Biownville, Nebraska, Sioux Citv, Council Bluffs, and East- port, on the Missouri River, in the State of Iowa, three hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Wonder how much Plattsmouth wi'J get of that? we've never seen a cent jet. The Capitol appropriation bill cut down to 0f a mjn vvent through the House by ona majority. It is said to be favorably considered in the Senate. Our interests in this Section decidedly leal in to favor tha bill if properly guarded. CORRESPONDENCE. Trout South Cend. Ed. Herald.
