Sr-The question has this moment been taken
in the House on the bill to remove the eastern
end Of the southern railroad. The bill was lost
on its third reading, yeas 90, nays 81, three men,
bers being absent. hasten to communicate this
result, as in some degree at least. 1t may be con-
sidered as indicative Of the fate of the bill to re-
move the western location. The friends Of that
location, however, should not consider this vote
as settling the question absolutely in their favor,
as l am told that strenuous exertions are to be
made, and are making to effect removal. The
vote can only be considered as manifestation
on the part of the House, of adisposrtion not to
Interfere with the acts Of the board Of internal
improvement unless the most cogcnt reasons be
offered for SO doing.

ted,
DETROIT, March 8 1888.
Sir-The reports in relation to the western
termination of the southern railroad were this
morning made. They are of the same tenor, and
signed by the same individuals, as informed you
in my last they would be. All Of yesterday was
spent by the House in discussing the bill altering
the location of the eastern end. The same dis
cussion has again commenced to-day. Soon as
the vote is taken will inform you of the result.
Yours, &c.

lOLil, $4,000 SO4 ID
To the interest, $2s,s25 go, add an e.
quail sum, TO be raised in the several coun.
ties, and we shall have for distribution, on
and after the first of January, 1889, $751;.
65l 20 for the support of schools. The
proposed ten per centum would be deduc.
ton of only $2,Ss2 SO, still having for the
support of district schools $54,76S 3d.
The distribution of this sum, if judiciously
expended, will produce sensible change in
the condition and prospects Of our schools.
The only difficulty to be approhended is the
want Of sufficient number of suitably
qualified aud competent teachers. And it
is not TO be disguised, that this is q serious
difficulty, and ohe which time only and the
most efficient measures can remove. Ii
would seem to be indispensably necessary,
if the object can be accomplished in no
other way, to appropriate small percent
age of the income of the school fund for
the support of the department of teachers
TO be established in the several branches OF
the university. We must educate our teach
ers, or our schools will suffer immeasura-
bly,.
1t is important to remark in this connex-
ion, that funds are proposed TO be obtained
from the sources hercinbefore indicated,
not with view to dispense with the aid OF
the people in the establishment Of these
branches, but for tine purpose of securing
that aid and the desired cooperation. 'Wc
must have the aid of the, peopleas well as
the use of our funds This. be it remem-
bered, is true as it respects every depart
mcnt of our system of school operations.
With the funds, proposed to be appropria-
ted for tho support of the several branches
Of the university, no difficulty will be found
in securing the desired aid; it will be readi.
y and chcerfully accorded. Donations OF
lands for sites have been prolfercd already,
from almost every section of the state, and
pledges given, for the erection of buildings,
and the procurement Of other necessary ac-
Communications. In this, the people are act
ing wisely. They have learned from the
history of the past, that it is indeed an easy
matter 10 procure sites and erect buildings

for the erection Of county buildings the pre-.
sent season. But il was found that more
had obtained special acts and commenced
operations under them, than was at first sup.
posed, and consequently prepared to exc
cute the required bonds.
1t is also due in justice TO remark, that the
expense of the sale Of the university and
school lands, the past season, has been
greater than need be incurred at any sub
seduent sale TO the same extent. Il was the
commencement of an entire new operation
and involved much responsibility. Books
certificates, county bonds, bonds and mort.
cages, maps, surveys, plating, advertising
and assistants were all to be procured
The time requisite for a iudicious sale in
seventeen different counties was altogether
matter of conjecture. But it was neces.
sary to fix it in advance; and accordingly
week was assigned TO each county in the
advertisement. A second sale, in the same
counties, to the same extent, may be effect.
ed in about ten weeks, which would con
siderably reduce the expenditure. More
time was necessarily required in the first
as it was important to examine personally
many of the sections, to ascertain their true
position and value. 1t was moreover es
sential to success in the operation 10 obtain
the services of an inexperienced auctioneer

employed, fulfilled those duties to the salts

ration. They perceive also, that the promi-
sed assistance from the permanent funds of
the state, will justify them in furnishing the
necessary aid, and The most efficient active
cooperation. In such circumstances, the
inducements held out, in the fair and Ger.

enlargement, and ensure the required aid
and harmonious action Of the great mass of
the people. And it is equally true, as al
ready suggested, that without this aid and
cooperation, no system. however we'll de-

This fund consists chiefly of lands re-
served from sale, and given by an ordinance
of Congress 10 the state, for the support Of
schools. Before the sale ofthese lands com.
menced, they amounted in all to 1,l46.l60
acres. In this estimate, are included all
the school lands, lying within the present
boundaries of the state. OF this amount,
100000 acres are situated within the Pc
ninsular portion of the state, and the bal
ance, 444, l60 acres are located on the west
Of Lake Michigan. Under the act, for the
disposition ofthe university and schoolands,
$4,000 acres have been sold, at an average
price of 81 81 per acre, amounting to
$4ll,794 33, the interest Of which at seven
per centum is Ss25,s25 so, payable between
the fifth of July and the Oath of October
next. We have then this result, the unsold
