The Railroad Meeting.

Owing to the extreme cold weather
there was not as full an attendance at
this met ting as there undoubtedly would
have been, had the weather been more
coneenial.
The general spirit manifested by those
in attendance showed very plainly that
our enterprising citizens are wide awake
for the transfer Of the land grant, to the
Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Il. r.
Co believing that with the aid Of the
grant we shall he favored with Railroad
facilities, 500 nerthan can be given US
by any other company. The meeting
was characterized, with zeal and activ-
ity which made up in large measure
the want Of great numbers.
We invite the attention Of our read
ers to careful perusal Of the pream BILE
and resolutions, which we think are full
complete and comprehensive.

Interests, who will? Being ii favor Of
that Company which viii, BY the aid Of
the land grant, soonest build Railroad
into Cur County, we must necessarily Sc
lect the Cedar Isapids 4 Missouri River
r. r. Co. If this company obtains the
land grant, she will undoubtedly obtain
saving perhaps 12o sections-the
whole Of it, giving her more wealth and
better credit so far as the grant contri-
butes to either. But if it be confirmed
in the hands Of the Dubuque Marion
and Western Co, We lose nearly one
fifth part, which that Company have
consented shall be given to the Iowa
Central, ostensibly to build tn road east
Of Anamosa, but really to pay their in
debtedness to the amount Of $500, 600,
share Of which Indebtedness our reads,
crs will remember accrued, by the Di-
rectory Of that company voting them
selves the bonds Of the Company, in va
rious amounts from $4,000 to $50 600
each.
IF the Cedar Rapids and Missouri
River CO., obtain the grant they will be
materially assisted by the Chicago, Iowa
and Nebraska Co., whose own interest
will prompt them, to aid US to the full
extent of their credit and means. Again,
if the G. r. & NJ. r. Co., obtain the
grant they will commence building a
Railroad somo 35 miles farther west, than
the D. NJ. & W.
These arc the reasons why the many
friends Of the Cedar Rapids and Mis-

42nd parallel, favor the transfer Of the
and grant to it; and if the Legislature
# our State mctes out justice, to the
central and western counties the latter
will obtain the grant

Our school Law.

The principle changes made by the
Board of Education at its regent Session
in the School law, are; the County Su-
perintcndent gets $500 per day for his
services, and it is no par: Of his duty to
visit schools. He is required to attend
at the County Seat the last Saturday in
each month, to examine teachers. He
is also authorised to settle difficulties be-
tween sub directors, which arises from
misunderstanding of the law. The
sub directors constitute the Township
Board, and the Town Clerk is their Sec.
rotary. Each sub-dircctor must take
the census Of his district and report it to
the Township Clerk, who must reportthe
same to the Co. Supt. These are the
principal changes.
We cannot commend all the acts Of the
Board. Repeating that part Of the law,
which made it the duty Of the County
Superintendent, to visit schools, We are
satisfied is Legislative blunder. The
reason Of every man teaches, and expe.
rienco has proven, that district schools,
are n ore prosperous, when their teachers
are aware, that the manner and success
Of their labors, as we'll as their want Of
success, are to be subjected to the exam
inaaion Of careful and competent Critics.
This Incentive to action, the late Board
have very unwiselv removed.
