DOINGs OF THE HOUsE-NICARAGUA.


WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Feb. 90
Kansas had both triumph and defeat to-day.
The first movement was to lay the resolution re.
ported from the Committee on Elections, asking
power to send for persons and papers, the table.
This failed BY majority of three. Then came the
direct issue on the resolution itself 1t prevailed
By majority Of two, Mr.. Dunn and the "scst-
terers" who act with him voting in the affirmative.
No sooner was the resolution carried, then a ,eeon-
sideration was moved, and, as rider to that, a
motion TO lay il on the table. This latter failed By
six votes, from which fact it became manifest that
a change Lad already come the Esprit of the
dream" of some of the supporters Of the investiga-
tioD. At this critical poiLt, when concentration
ard union were 30 important, and distraction was
so dangerous Mr. Dunn signiheo to the House. Ii
the reconsideration was adopted, he would pro-
pose the appointment OF Nj, Bradley OF this CIT!
as Commissioner to take testimony In tAe case,
intending il as substitute for the resolution o.

Gov. BRAGG AND TIE MILITARY Schools. I'VE are
glad to see the position which Gov Bragg has taken
on this subject in his late Message to the Legsla-
ture. The subject of military schools is very rightly
aseating the minds of the people, not that we wish
to raise nation of warriors but more particularly
for the peculiar benefit, derived from the military
drill 1t would be most important acquisition to
every male school Of any size, both as regards men,
tai and physical training. The business habits OF
one thus drilled would be easily observable in all the
walks of after life. We hope the legislature will
take steps to carry out not only the Recommendation
of Gov Bragg, but also the establishing of Military
School on the plan of Mr.. Sumner, as proposed at
the late Educational Convention These are both
important steps and mutual helps in the proper
organization Of the SYSTEM and in its perpetuity
Speaking on the subject, Gov Bragg uses the loi-
lowing very appropriate language -
recommend that the Governor OF the otate oe
being given for their safe keeping aud return, as IN
the case of volunteer companies. s.
knowledge of the duties of the soldier, in
country like ours having regular military system
is highly important. Every citizen IS liable to be
called upon to discharge these dutes and proper
" instructed in his YOUTH wonld be ready in man.
hood Mt his countrys CALL to step forward either for
command or to serve as we'll drilled soldier in the
ranks For an American citizen, that system OF ed
ucation is most perfect which enables him to per-
form duty BEST under any and all circumstances
It is an entire mistake to suppose that such sys.
tenn would foster military spirit dangerous to the
peace and good order of the country. 1t has been
practically introduced in many of the States of the
Union, with no such results; but, on the contrary,
with marked benefit. -~
