SCHOOL House.
Difficulties ont OF the way--Building to
be Finished at oncc-Sch00l to
be Held This Winter.

Through our correspondent /" K,'
our readers OF late have seen good deal
in regard to the new School House, and
the difficulties in the way of opening
our public schools this winter. In our
last issue the matter stood substantially
as follows: The Board of Directors had
exhausted all the means Mt their dispos-
al, and the house was still unfinished.
They were willing to make a loan of
the money necessary to complete and
furnish the building, as directed by a
public meeting of the citizens held on
the Goth day of last September, if twen-
ty responsible men would jointly bind
themselves to insure the Board against
personal liability. In case the indem-
MITIGATION was not provided, the Board
had resolved to stop the work where il
was, and lock up the house for the win
ter. On Saturday morning last Mr.. J.
by direction of the Board, and in short
time procured fifty signatures. He had
no difficulty in procuring names. The
bond and its signers are as follows: 5-
Know all mon by these presents, that where-
as E. ". Be- bcock and S. A. Bishop, Trustees of
the Independent School District of Cedar
Falls, Black Hawk County. Iowa, were direct

held on the 18th day Of September. 1865, to pro-
coed to contract for the immediate completion
of the School House in said District and the

pancy, for School purposes, on the credit of

This disposes of the difficulty. Tho
Board are now proceeding With the ut
most dispatch to prepare the building
for the opening of schools ut the. earli-
est possible day, Cases Combined
Seats and Desks are to be used, and an
order was sent 10 Buffalo for them a
few days ago. It had been designed to
put in a furnace for warming the build
ing but in view of the lateness of the
season, and the difficulties in the way
Of determining the kind of furnace re-
quired, the Board have decided to use
stoves this winter The building is to
be finished up in good shape; though,
of course, there are many things, not
really interfering with the use of the
house, which will remain undone till
another year The Board are now
looking around for teachers. We con-
graduate the people on this happy turn
of affairs. 1t has been hard struggle
to get our School House but who now
can regret the undertaking, and who is
devoid of pride in the architectural
beauty and large proportions OF the
building? Having now the finest
school House in Iowa, and one hard to
equal in the West, there is nothing in
the way of possessing public schools as
superior as the house. The men who
have been self-sacrifieing and faithful
to this enterprise are worthy the graft
tude of the public, and entitled to great
commentator. We believe a majority
Of our citizens fully appreciate their
good works. The enterprise also re-
fleets credit upon the liberality of our
people--a liberality large enough to at
once take in Churches, Schools, Rail-
roads, Orphans Homes, and all. Bring

TURN HIM OUT:
VIRGINIA, May IS, 1856

VIRGINIA, May IL, 1850.
Nh. EpIroR lit is q matter Of much
surprise and chsgrin to many Of our best
citizens, that our newly elected City
Fathers should, in their organization, fail
to come up to the standard required by
loyal people. They were not elected by
disloyal voters, and the surprise. is that
they, by the proceedings of their last
meeting, retain in office our present City
Attorney, whose disloyalty is so noto-
rious. We care not for the plea on which
he is retained-how plausible it may be,
or BY whom it was made. It certainly is
the known will of their constituents that
they should at once rid our city govern.
men. Of all such monuments of disloyal,y
and treason. Many Of US too we'll remem.
Der " hen this man stood for hours on our
streets and endeavored to ferment in the
minds of all who would listen, that spirit
which has 80 recently stricken down our
beloved Chief Magistrate; telling them,
THAT there was not an article. section,
limo, or sentence, in the Constitution OF
the United States which Linculn had not
Uiifuly uioLutsd and tran,pied beneath his
fest!" That he, himself knew Joe
Hooker, when he lived in some dark alley
in a city Of California with negro pro.ti-
tute, and this was the only kind Of Gen
erals Lincoln would employ In his hsllish
sOork of ravaging Southern homes and
Southern hresides, etc., ETC." And that
IF a milestone were hanged about the
neck of the Infamous ,oreteh (Lincoln) and
he were cast into an old fashioned Metho-
dist hell, he would not sink half deep
enough to punish him for one Of thou
sand Of his crimes against the American
people," It is this kind Of talk being so
often repeated in our hearing that has
rendered him perfectly odious in the sight
of every loyal citizen. It will not suffice
to atone for the past, that he now makes
temperance speeches and joins in the
funeral train of him whom he 90 basely
maligned. We know the man, and will
not have him or any of his kind to rule
over Us, or serve US in any caparity-for
even as dog.pelter. the meanest cur would
be surest to go unscathed. We are loyal
people. and believe. with the Administra-
ton. that traitors s6uld be made 20 feel
the odium Of treason. Our officers are
but our servants, and let them but obey
the will Of their constituents in this mat
ter. BY Teconsidering their action At the
last meeting, and removing at once thi.
itching scab from our body corporate, and
all will be well. There are loyal men both
able and willing to accept the Office, and
il Is to be hoped that no plea whatever
will suffice to retain this fellow longer.
Z me gentlemen, he is Z disgrace to your
body and an outrage on your constituents,
SO swear him and let him 90 at once.
