The Present State of the War.

The London Times, Of Dec. 4th,
says: The war has now entered into
one Of those periods Of pause and in
action which. even in the most stoutly
maintained contests, must of necessity
intervene. Winter has closed the
Baltic against further repetition of
those maratime promenades which.
with the little interlude of Bomarsund,
have employed the energies of one Of
the finest fleets that ever left the
shores Of England. The Same cause
has put an end to the campaign in Ar
menia, and Turks and Russians may
there resign themselves for the next
six months to peace guaranteed by
the imperious Intervention Of frost,
snow, and ice.
On the banks Of the Danube the
fame fwar has burned out, the Turks
having neither food, clothes, nor mill
tary stores sufficient for seriously
offensive movement, and the Russians
having betaken themselves by sea and
by land to reinforce the army Of the
Crimea. At Sevastopol the allies are
looking for shelter. ammunition. cloth
ing, and reinforcements, and guarding
against the possibility Of being forced
to gain, at equal cost. another victory
like that Of Inkermann. The Russians
seem becoming every day more sensi-
bic Of the tremendous blow they have
received, and, engaged probably in the
difficult task Of feeding and sheltering
an army sent for our humiliation,
without anything but the most portable
means Of destruction, can take no Off
ensive measures.
Both parties are recovering THEN
breath for a moment before they close
again in the mortal struggle. This
then, is no unsuitable time for col
Letting some lessons Of experience GU
Of the mass of events, and treasurine
them up for future use. We have
learnt much, and have paid dear fol
our knowledge; lctus hope that W,
shall not require to pay the price 1
second time in order to fix the lessor

The School Law.

BY a recent decision ofour Supreme
Court the i30th section Of the Common
School Law has been declared uncon-
stitutional.
That section provides that 1.-THE vo-
tiers of any township shall have power
at any general or special meeting to
vote tax for the purpose of building
or repairing school houses, and pur-
chasing sites therefor, providing fuel,
maps, furniture, apparatus, Libraries or
Increase thereof, or TO discharge debts
incurred therefor, and for continuing
their schools after the public funds
shall lave been expended, to any
amount not exceeding annually, fifty
cents on each one hundred dollars
of property, and fifty cents on each
poll"
The question was raised by tax
payer, for the purpose of enj dining
the collection Of tax assessed by a
township by a vote ofthe people upon
a proposition to raise fifteen cents 10
the one hundred dollars, for School
purposes. The Circuit Court granted
the injunction. The County Treasur.
or and the township appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The latter Court, in their decision,
say:
Before we proceed TO the considera-
ton of the consti,utionality Of this
section. we would remark, that il:
phraseology seems to indicate that the
Legislature did not regard the taxes
to be raised by it as being Of public
character; for one of the specified eau
SEES for making the assessment, is, "fol

&c funds shall have been expended
thus making distinction between the
"public funds" and those contemplated
by the section. 1t was evidently the
intention of the trainers of the Consti'
tuition to place the common school sys'
tenn under the direct control and su'
peryision Of the State, and 10 make il
quasi department of the State gov
eminent.
To control and manage this depart.

election Of a Superintendent OF Public

The Attitude of Prussia.
An attentive perusal ofthe speech

An attentive perusal ofthe speech OF
the King Of Prussia, at the opening of
his Legislative Chambers, will justify
the surmise that he is nearly decided
to take course W holly opposite to that
followed by Austria.
The paragraph in the speech saying
that .'Prussia viii be in position to de-
fend at any moment her interests and
her place among the nations Of Eu-
rope, if the threatening issue of politi-
cal events should compel her," points
to eventualities which cannot come
from Russia. The King of Prussia
declares emphatically in several of his
diplomatic communications that he has
decided TO maintain strict neutrality.
The Gar agrees toit. England and
France, and may be Austria, menace
and will compel Prussia to declare for
or against them. protesting they can
no furtherrespe her neutrality, allow
her to be the broker Of the Russian
exporting trade, snd make immense
gains where others are positive losers.
These powers, therefore, not allowing
Prussia to make her own choice, to
follow her own interests, TO put on the
protocols Of Vienna such construc-
ton as she chooses. and to maintain n
position which she believes the most
beneficial TO her-these Powers men,
ace her interests and her place among
the nations of Europe; and against
them seems to be exclusively directed
the rather war-like part of the Royal
Speech.-N Y. Tribune.

No pretext whatever is offered by
these people TO excuse or justify their
conduct. On the contrary. they make
no secret of their being residents OF
Missouri, and not residents Of Kansas,
They declare their Intention Of doing
the same thing over again at every
election. Gen. Sprinfellow, q promi-
nent politician Of Missouri, residing
at Weston, who commanded the Leav-
enworth division Of this grand inva.
ding army, openly declared that If it
should become necessary the whole OF
Western Missouri would be emptied
into Kansas, in order TO make il q
slave State.
What will be the result Of this bu-
siness, / do rot know. / cannot think
that Gen. Whitfield will be admitted
to seat in the House. The matter
should at least be thoroughly investi-
gated. We have every reason TO be-
lieve that an extensive scheme is on
foot to make Kansas slave State by
violent and illegal means. Ithas been
asserted that Senator Atkinson, OF
Missouri, was not ignorant Of this pro-
ject; and that a large fund had been
raised by subscription in the southern
States to carry it through. If this be
really so, and cannot doubt it, il
ought to awaken the indignation of the
whole country. The Missouri Com
promise was not repealed TO give a
handful of the worst specimens OF
the population Of Missouri the power
to control the destinies of Kansas; but
to establish the right of the people Of
the Territories TO govern themselves,
If this be not accomplished, what has
been gained by the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise? Nay. the repeal
has but transferred the governance o.
Kansas Territory from Congress tc

cret conspirators, what has not beer

Mrs. MARTHA BARLOW, wife OF
o. NJ. Barlow, of this place, died on
the 28th of December, 1854, after a
painful illness Of about six weeks
She was in the 3sth year of her age.
She was a native Of New York; was
married to MIR. Barlow, February 8,
1888, and moved 10 Brookville in 1899.
In 1910 she joined the Methodist
Church, under the ministry of Rev.
James Jones, since which time she has
been consistent and exemplary
Christian. Her end was peace.
To attempt to speak of the social
and domestic virtues Of Ms. Barlow,
so as to make her known 10 those who
knew her not in life, would be useless.
In her blended as many virtues as
are usually granted to any one per-
son. But she has left us, to enjoy,
in happier sphere, the society of
those who had gone before.
EuPnEMA r. LEWIS. daughter Of
Benjamin and Mary Lewis, of White
Water township, died on the e8th Of
December last. in the 18th year of her
age. She had left home for school, at
College Hill. Ohio. where she was Ia
ken sick, of Typhoid Fever. Sho was
brought home, but neither skillful
physicians, nor parcr al solicitude and
care, could avert the roke.

FELIX TREMBLED. Some drunken
fellows got mad at Felix. the king of
the Buck Horn, last week, and COM
planned to the state that he had sold
some Of them whisky when they were
drunk. This alarmed Felix, and forth
with he called on "Danel' to save
him. This just suited. for, since the
law relating to liquor-selling has been
annulled "Danel" had had so little to
do that his Indebtedness at the Horn
had become alarming. OF course the
whole matter ended in Dams receiving
a credit of about fifty dollars on the
books of the Buck Horn.

Foreign Paupers and the Know Moth.

Foreign Paupers and the Know Moth
ings.
lthas never been our fortune or mis-.
fortune 70 adhere 10 any party. While
we agree with them in some things,
we claim the right to dissent on others
whenever we choose.
We confess, that with the views Of
the Know Nothings. in the general. us
we understand them, we do sympa-
thize. We are opposed to the politi-
cal power, the Roman Catholic church
has acquired in this country, by its
throwing its political influence for the
party or men that bid highest for it,
We.are opposed to all foreigners, who.
as such, demand special legislation,
and specialprivileges, and whose votes
can be obtained only by making con-
sessions to them. But it is only in
political matters that this objection
lies. Every emotion Of our heart bids
US welcome to our happy country, and
to all its civil and religious privileges
the:men of every cline. All we asks
that they come 20 be moulded into
American views, and manners, and pol
tics, and not to retain their national
characteristics-political. social and
religious, and attemp to establish them
here instead Of our own.
We admit then, that we are in ia
vor of frightening the term of proba-
ton, before naturalization. and we
are most assurdly in favor Of enforcing
what we think is certainly intended by
the constitution, uniform system Of
naturalization. We believe il is vio-
lation of the spirit, if not of the letter
of the constitution of the United States,
to let one system obtain IN one State,
and another in another. What does
naturalization confer, if il does not
confer the right to vote? All other
privileges, are subordinate to this, and
We hope such judicial opinions viii yet
be obtained, as win render our natural
ization laws effective.
But there is one thing contemplated
by some OF the X. Ms with which we
have no sympathy. We mean exclu-
ding the foreign poor. 1t is al
most impossible to be other than poor,
under the tyranical and priestly exac-
tons Of the old countries. But let
them come here. Our prairies and
woods will not only afford them food
but make them rich, and under prop
er regulations they will make the best
of citizens. Let them Icome. The
earth is the Lords and Ethe fitness
thereof. A mans being born in Indi-
ana gives him no more right to the
products of the fields of Nebraska or
Kansas that are enriched by heavens
dews, and rains. and suns. than if he
was born in Siberia.
While. then, we think that expert
ence has demonstrated that it is dan
gerous to admit foreigners to the privi-
leges of voting, as early as heretofore,
we would not close our ports to the
honest poor man, who can fell our for
ests and enjoy untold privileges,
though not voter at once. Let them
come. But in thus opening the door
TO the honest poor, we protest against
sending to this county the convicts, and
drunken rabble that are now sent by
some European nations. If nothing
else will prevent this, we would de-
clare war against the nation that con-
tinues to do II.
