AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Convention re-asseinbled at 2
o'clock, Judge Wilson in the chair.
Awaiting the report of the Commit
tee on Permanent Organization, Gen.
b. NJ. Prentiss, of Quincy, ILL.,, offer
cred the following resolution:
Resozred, it is the sense of this Conven-
tlon that the railroad route under consldera-
ton should be located us follows: From
West Quincy, Mo, by the most feasible and
practicable rOut0Via Edna and KirksvilIe to
point opposite Brownville, ON the Missouri
river,
The Committee on permanent or
ganizatiOn being ready to report, pre-
santed the following nominations
For President-HOn. c. ii. Howe,
of LAGRANGE, Mo-; Vice Presidents
DR.. j. N. RalstOn, of Quincy, Ill.
and Hon. A. w. Morgan, of Brown
vile, Nebraska; Secretary p. H.
Bailhache, of Quincy, Ill. Assistant
Secretaries-Other representatives of
the press present.
On motion, the name of Col. J. H.
Shanklin, of Grundy county, Mo-,
was substituted for President of the
Convention, and the Committees re-
port thus amended was adopted.
Col. Shanklin was then conducted
to the chair, thanked the Convention
for the unexpected honor conferred,
and then stated the Importance of the
work before the Convention and the
great benefits to be derived from the
construction of the contemplated rail-
road.
Gen. Prentiss then called for his
resOlutiOntO be again read, and moved
its adoption.
DR.. Hay asked'in all fairness that
the committee ON credentials first be
allowed to report, "as many persons
were present who had no right to vote
on the resolution, and that the con-
vention was not yet properly or
ganized.
Gen. PreRtiss stated that the resOlu-
ton was intended to ascertain the
sense of the meeting, and that he de-
sired it read for that purpose; and
that the gentleman from LaGrange
could discuss its merits at length, but
he Gen. p expected to have the clo-
sing argument.
The resolution was again read,
w%hereupon a warm discussion ensued,
in which the LaGrange interest as
one Of the railroad points was strongly
pressed, and an amendment to that
effect offered.
Gen. Prentiss closed the debate by
stating the resolution was so wOrded
as to include LAGRANGE as one of the
points, if that route was found to be
the most practicable and feasible one,
and that no objections could be offer
ed if LAGRANGE and Lewis county
would undertake to build the road
through her county. Upon a vote
being taken the amendmentineluding
LaGrange as one of the points was lost.
Mr.. Wells, of Quincy, offered to
amend the resolution bVadding after
the words Missouri Rfver'' the fol-
lowing: land point or other pointsin
.Atchison county," Objections being
offered this amendment was with
dTrwn and the original resolution was
adopted.
The Committee on Credentials.
through its Chairman, Thos. Jasper,
Of Quincy, then presented a majority
and minority report, as follows:

The Spring Term of the State Nor
NAL School at Peru, Nebraska, under
the care of Prof. P. NJ. Martin, closed
its labor on Wednesday, June 8Oth,
1869.
The review of the various studies
of the term commenced on Monday,
the 28th inst, at u o'clock P. NJ.
The examinations were highly sat
isfactory throughout, while the classes
generally evinced a thorough knowl-
edge Of all they had taken in hand.
We must commend the classes in
Algebra, Physical Geography, Physi-
ology and Natural Philosophy. Evi
dence of close attention to these stud.
les was patent to those witnessing the
examination.
The closing exercises on Wednesday
P. NJ, consisting of oratiOns, essay:
and music, need only to be witnessed
insorder to be appreciated. The Ma.
TONS Sleepers, composed by Prof
P. M. Martin, did much credit to the
author.
These exercises concluded, Prof
Martin made some touching and ap-
propriate remarks tohis pupils, which
incited a warm attachment to those
under his care, after which he intro
duced Senator Upton to the audience,
who entertained us with a thorough
and truly eloquent speech We wish
his remarks could have fallen upon
the ears Of a thousand, for every one
of his fair audience SO manifestly de-
lighted.
Prof. J. NJ. Mckenzie made a few
remarks, and distributed circulars for
the Fall, Winter and Spring Terms,
when the audience retired.

MI. ID. Y. Culbertson was in our
Office this week, and he informs us
that the christian people of Glen Rock
precinct are building a church ediice
for the Regular Baptist Society, on
the corner of DR.. Phillips farm, which
has been secured for that purpose.
The building is to be 34x46 on the
ground, and Is feet high, to be built Of
Pine with Black Walnut finish. lie
also says that the Methodist have a
subscription reaching near $1,000, for
the purpose of building a Methodist
Church in that precinct. We know
of three School Houses in that pre-
cinct, used for school purposes and
religious services. This is very ample
provision for q territory but six miles
square, and all in the country at that.
We shall have to. refer Mr.. Wright to
facts IN his precinct; but, as he
does not take his county paper we
are not surprised at his ignorance.

quite encouragingly of the prospects
Of the proposed Rock Island, Ham
burg and Brownville Railroad down
the valley Of the NishnebOtana river.
Preparations are being made for the
survey this fall. Brownville must be
ready to aid this enterprise at the
proper time. Our wants are growing,
and when we supply ourselves in one
direction, it only strengthens US fol
new enterprises. The growth of q
city makes constant demands upon
her enterprising capitalists which

B-ROWNYILLE, JuIY 5, Is


In accordance with previous adj
journment, the "Brownville Temper
ance Society" met on Monday eve
ming, the 5th inst.
The President took the Chair, and
the proceedings of the Society were
opened with prayer by Rev. Mr..
Baird.
On motion, A. L. Rich was elected
Secretary pro tenn, and the minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and approved.
The President then introduced Dr..
Crane, who entertained the Society
by delivering an address of sterling
ability sad thrilling interest-an adj
dress, not only of wisdom and elo-
quence combined, but also abounding
in the practical rather than the theO-
retical.
The Doctor seems to have had no
time to spare for the discussion of the
refined theories on human ~depravity,
nor any disposition to separate him
self from those whom he would bene-
fit by cracking Stale jokes at the ex-
pense of the unfortunate, and thus
holding them up for public derision
in order that he may amuse an idle
curiosity. But around him, on every
side, he beholds work for the heart as
well as the tongue; and, thoroughly
imbued with brOtherly love towards
his erring brother, he knows how to
forgive as Christ commanded, and to ex-
ercise the christian grace of patience,
if he would do good.
How fOrcible is his mind impressed
with thoughts similar to those of the
poet:
Revile him not-the tempter hath
a snare for all;
And pittying tear, not scOrn and wrath
Beht his fall!
Scornl would the angels laugh. to make
a bright soul driven,
F~iend-gOaded down the endless dark
From hope and Heaven?
On motion, the Secretary was direc-
ted to solicit a copy of DR.. Cranes adj
dress for publication. 1t was also
moved that Prof. Moore be requested
to entertain the Society with an adj
dress on Temperance , on Monday eve
ming, the 10Th inst.
DIR. Kimberlin and the Secretary
were requested, by the President, to
solicit signatures to the Constitution
and pledge of the Society; and the
following is the result: John Stuart,
Geo. B. Moore, Geo. B. Thompson,
Willie Upton, Louisa M. Moore and
Kate Atkinson.
According to previous instruction,
the Secretary waited upon DR. Crane,
and solicited a copy of the address de-
livered, whereupon the Doctor replied,
in substance, ''that in consequence of
the hasty manner in which it was
thrown together, and for the want of
sufficient time, he much preferred to
be permitted to retain the M. S., that
he might revise the same and re-de-
liver it at some future period,
The Society then adjourned to meet
at the NJ. E. Church on Monday eve
ming, the 18th inst.
