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

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.

If the big Omaha Herald had read
tho little Plattsmouth Herald it

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

" Gad" Slaughter deserves tho thanks

CirURCH Howe thinks John Sher
man killed the Greenback party Jan'y

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

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. For the present Sen
ator Sauuders is on top.

simply a temptation to crime, and a

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

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

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.

trial that his part was played with de
