The Senatorial contest ia taking a
new appearanca. Caucusing is go
ing on every wight , and it is uow
about concluded that neither Thayer -
er , Dundy , or Paddock has any
chance of election. Cunuingbair
is also said to be off the track , auc
it is more than probable a new man
will be taken up. Who this wil
bo , is not yet determined for car-
tain , but indiiations now point to
Guy A. Barton , of Grand Island , a
member of the State Senate , or to
Hon. J. B. Weston , present Auditor
of State. Weston is believed to
have the best chance , and it is
claimed that if his name is Intro
duced , he can poll 30 votes on thi
first ballot , and only 27 are needet
for an election. Weston Is there
fore hailed a < 3 the coming man
though Thaycr's and Paddock's
friends have not lost hope.
Tun Nebraska City Press pretends
to entertain doubts about the an
thority of the letter of Morton to
Congressman Cox , and on this as
sumed hypothesis pleads its excuse
for not giving It publicity. Now
Mr. Newman , isn't that a little thin
even for a United States Revenue
Collector to palm upon the public'
Haifa dozen different State journals
have published that letter , over the
signature of Mr. Morton. Tha
gentleman has not refuted it ant
we venture to say he dares not do it
What further evidence , then , is
wanted ?
Did Messrs. .Newman & Browi
seek in a similar way evidence to
substantiate their base fabrications ?
or did they wilfully make up a tissue
of falsehoods to serve a base pur
pose and when discovered and ex
posed try to cover up by an owl-
like silence ? It seems to us now
that Messrs. Newman & Brown are
using the same disgraceful course in
their charges upon the Hon. Joseph
Lamaster , for when men will lie so
wilfully in one case they cannot be
expected to do better in another
when they can serve a purpose in
doing it.

Tha Judiciary Bill Carving the

( Correspondence : f tha te.E. )
LINCOLN , Jan. 16 _ . ' 75.
EniTon OMAHA BEE :
After the usual routine , the Sen
ate went into Committee of the
Whole on Senate bill No. 1 , being
the judiciary bill.
Senator Barton moved the com
mittee with Senator Lyons , of Burt ,
in the chair. The Senator from
Burt a plain , modest , retiring old
gentleman , politely begged to de
cline the nomination , on the ground
of his inexperience in such service ,
but the motion was put and carried.
Still the Senator begged to be ex
cused , but the Senate refused to .re
consider , and Senator Barton en
couraged the reluctant elect by the
humorous remark that "presiding
over a Senate is like carving a
goose it lias to be learned.1' The
figure was apt to the transient
event , but whether It may not be
after , in a prolonged application ,
and which of the terms "carving"
or "goose'1 may denote the chief
element of significance in the sim
ile events will show. But the chair
man's first effort with fork and
Knife was done with neatness and
dispatch. This very sensible and
dignified father among the patrcz
conncripti , showed that his apology
had no foundation but his sincere
modesty.
The bill having been reported back
and put on its passage , it'elicited the
first
TWO SOLID LITTLE SPEECHES
of the session by Senators Spaun
and Chapman.
The Senator from Douglas admit
ted the necessity of extending the
Judiciary at the earliest date consis
tent with constitutional authority.
But , while conceding such necessi
ty , he was impelled by a higher
consideration to explain and record
his opposition to the measure. There
was , in his judgment , no constitu
tional authoritj' for this enactment.
The constitution provides that some
such measure as this may bo adop
ted "after the year 1875 " Waiving
the question whether the legislature
ia the competent tribunal to decide
the meaning of constitutional law ,
the learned Senator went into a
concise , but critical examination of
the proper sense of the plain Eng
lish phrase "after the year 1875. "
The phase , "the year 1875" denotes
apeWod of time with a definite be
ginning and end. "After" shows
the relation between this period and
the act may bo performed ; and
"after" denotes something subse
quent or future to this clearly defin
ed period. By what authority it is
made to mean "during , " or by what
rule the phase is to be considered
elliptical requiring the words "the
beginning of , or the first da3' of"
to complete it , is not at all plain. Jf
the sentence had been intended to
mean after the commencement or
the firot day of the year 1875 , it
would have been so written aud
printed. .
It is said that the Supreme Court
extradudically express the opinion
that it is competent for the Legisla
ture to construe , and that the lan
guage of the constitution may war
rant this measuie. That maybe ;
but no COUrt WOUld onicially rroi > r -
nounce it.
The Senator alleged that no nec
essity could exist so pressing as to
warrant this dangerous trespass on
unauthorized ground. And further
that all excuse K precluded by the
steps already taken , and soon to be
completed , for adopting a constitu
tion which would provide for the
case.
I give only the substance of this
argument , and that from the merest
notes. M.uch less do I give the
reader any iJea of the manner and
style of the speaker. The subject
and occasion do not warrant more
at present than the passing remark
that the Hon. Senator combines in
his natural gifts and his acquired
arts all the elements of a true orator.
SENATOR CHAPMAN ,
Author ot the bill and chairman of
the judiciary committee , rnplied :
that the language of the constitution
may be equivocal , but if it is , the
legislature is the party competent
aud in duty bound to interpret the
sense of this phrase. The interpre
tation implied in this bill is consist
ent with the usages of language and
in harmony with the intent of this
particular provision , nemely : to
authorize the increase of the judic
iary as soon as it was then supposed
necessity required. The necessity
for such increase being now very
urgent It was the prerogative and
duty of the legislature to pass this
act in the behalf of the people , who
generally demanded it , and whom
rights and interest instead ot being
put in jeopardy , would be protected ,
The senator referred to the crowd
ed condition of our civil and crimi
nal dockets , the excessive labors of
our three judges , and the injurious
delays of ollicial business. He re
plied to Senator Kpauu respecting
: ho relief so soon to come through a
ue\y constitution , that wo are by no
means sure Qf a new constitution.
The document will be submitted to
the people , but is as likel > to be rc-
eoted as adopted , in which our judi
cial affairs njusl become more and
more neglected.
This is the substance , but iot ; the
form of the senator's speech.
The honorable senator is an ear
nest and wiry worker , and made as
strong a doiense as th nature of the
case admits.
The honorable senator acquitted
himself and his cause very well ,
considering the task of answering
an argument so lexicographically
simple and nouud , and so pointedly
put. Altogether , while the J ? ai
niud will generally coiicuj

The 20th day of December was the
twenty-fifth nnnhersary of the
opening of the first public school in
San Francisco a school which b -
gan with three scholars. Now the
department has 48 schools , with 500
teachers , aud nearly 23,000 pupils.
The Indiana teachers have elected
Mrs. George P. Brown , of Indian
apolis , President of their Associa
tion. At their meeting just held ,
they formally resolved that the
State should provide education with
out regard to race.
Dr. Hilgard , of Michigan Univer
sity , advised the Michigan teachers
at their late meetinc to instruct
children in natural history chiefly
by means of natural specimens.
After these he held that good illus
trated works and wall maps are
high essentials , as contradistin
guished from mere text-books , dic-
tionarjes to bo learned by note and
quickly forgotten.
President Anderson , of the Kansas
State Agricultural College shows
from the list of graduates of that
college from 1867 to 1874 , that not
one of them has become a farmer.
Ho acknowledges that unless our
agricultural colleges can succeed in
turning out real farmers , mechanics ,
etc. , they must bo conceded to have
failed in the objects for which they
were instituted.
Lord Brougham is credited with
saying that a child learned more be
tween the ages of eighteen and thir
ty months , in certain branches of
knowledge , than in all the rest of
his life. This may be an exaggera
tion , but it will suffice to indicate
the importance of the primary de
partment under our public educa
tional system in which the pro
cesses ought to be quite as much for
mative as instructive.
The Illinois School and College
Association of Natural History , or
ganized to encourage the study of
natural history in the schools of the
state , reports that its collections
consist of specimens of minerals ,
fossils , and animals. The minerals
are mostly from Lake Superior , and
the fossils and minerals from differ
ent portions of the state. The ani
mal ' collection numbers 1,600 speci-
mo'na jeDrenentlue 202 ditforent-spe-
cies.
Bishop Sweoney.the Catholic pre
late of St. John , N. B. , has set an
example to the clergy of the diocese
to resist the payment of their school
tar , on the grouud that "A o Cath
olic citizen can conscientiously aud
willingly contribute to the support
of schools in which his religion is
attacked and insulted. " The con
sequence was that some of the epis
copal property was seized and sold
at auction to satisfy the tax of $217-
10. Three other clergymen found
themselves similarly situated. The (
ground of complaint would be per
fectly reasonable were any disposi
tion shown to introduce icligioua
teaching into the schools atall. But
so far as is known , theie is no prov
ocation of the kind.
The following are the full and au
thentic statistics of the number in
the faculty , and students in the sev
eral departments of the Michigan
University for this year : There are
this year , -18 in the University Fac
ulty , an increase of 5. The literary
students are divided as follows ;
Seniors , 105 ; juniors , 87 ; sopho
mores , 84 ; freshmen , 109 ; in phar
macy , 63 ; total 458. The senior
class is the largest ever iu the Uni
versity. The sophomores have lost
38 since last year. Many on ac *
count of the suspension last spring
did not return. There ore 330 in
the department of Jaw , 25 more than
last year. The medical students
number 2CO , an increase of 52. To
tal in University , 1,143 , an increase
of 98 over last year. There are 06
women in the University , 52 in the
literary department , 42 in the med
ical nnd 2 in the law department.
It was stated at the meeting of
the Wisconsin -teachers that the
high schools as now organized fail
to meet " the present wants of the
State. Most of them are high
schools only in name. Otherdeclar-
atior.s wore that the State suffers
greatly from the poor equipments of
common school * . The schools
should bo Ca'tholic in spirit , and
free from all sectarian bias. Re
ligious instructions nhould Jj
omitted ,
a andJj
of offending the
Elementary
by over-
the educational pro
of the common school

Jemned. Compulsory education
