CATTLE MARKET AT Bulls HEAD.-The mar
ket yesterday, says the Tribune Of Wednesday,
goth, at Forty-fourth street, gave evidence that
that the prices this week will range full as high
as they did two weeks ago. and very decidedly
better than this day week. The range of prices
yesterday was 9b912kc. At the first, only
few very small, thin steers, of only 400 or 500
weight, were sold. At the highest figure, some
good fat bulocks were sold. The general run
Of cattle sold yesterday. we're at lOB IL, and

two droves expected Some were telegraphed

and drovers were decidedly jolly over the pros

|, the substitution under the "new ar
rsoQement" Of Thomas II. Benton, Jr.,
- Secretary by the Board of Educa-

Mr.. Fisher, during the term in which
he held the office OF Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, devoted his entire
attention to the business, and by bis
energetic and well directed labors, did
much tow Yards the work Of systemizlng
the educational interests Of the state.

no new hand at the business, and no
charge Of malfeasance, neglect Of duty
or incompetency was ever whispered
against him-his only crime was, that
he would not allow himself to be made
tool Of for republican partizsn pur-
poses. For this reason the nine Re
publicans who compose three fourths
of the Board of Education, abolished
the Office Of State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, and created another
under the name Of Secretary" with
precisely the same powers, and filled
it with Thomas II. Benton, Jr., not

The Dub uQue State Branch bank

The difficulties in the State Bank
begin to "open up" most beautifully
and give promise of fun ahead. The
dubuque Herald makes the following
remarks regarding the progress of the
muss in that city: "A couple of re-
pentant bankers this morning assign
as a reason for their resigning their
places as Directors, that a ''comblna-
ton had been formed" by which they
had agreed to resign if certain indivi-
duals were not elected members Of the
new Board. They evidently think an
open confession is good for the soul,
and while they challenge our admira-
ton for their candoI, furnish MS the in
formation that even thus early in the
history Of banking in Iowa, comblna-
tons are thought of among bankers.
Well, combinations are sometimes verv
good, as tor instance combination
between the figure and a sufficient
number Of noughts, make the very
handsome sum s 900. But comblna-
tons for other purposes are not al
ways SO lovely, and this combination
may have been one of the unlovable
ones. But the principal fact fYr the
public to observe, is that the combna
tions exist. There may have been com
binations on both sides, but the only
lesson the public is to CLEAN from a
knowledge of the fact, is the tendency
Of banking to produce combinations
Against comh,. atoms the people vii
have to guard, and but a few years vii
elapse before the whole strength of tn,
people will be exerted to break thu
