Under the above heading, the Paw
nee Tribune shows the necessity of a
mail route and tri-weekly service be-
tween Pawnee City and BrownviIle.
Many travellers after, reaching this
point, with intention to 60 to
Pawnee county, finding that there is
no public conveyance, turn their
course in another direction. In this
way that county IOoses much more
than her citizens imagine. Population
and capital are turned in another di-
rection. Important mail matter is
often weeks in going to and returning,
when but a day or so should be suf-
fcient. Such a State Of facts are
barely siderable, and demand the at
tention ofsuch of our public men who,
by their position and influence, have
the power to furnish the relief deman-
demanded by the interests Of this
portion ofthe State. We suggest that
the route commence at BrOwnville
thence through by Geo. Crows, Hen
~ Stineman's and Moses Milks', in
Nemaha county, at each of which
points Post Offices should be establish
ed then by way ofTable Rock, Paw
nee City, to some point on the
Atchison and Denver Railroad.

The Pawnee Tribune informs us
that there is quite a demand in that
countytO know what laws were passed
last winter, and that to satisfy this de-
sire, they have sent to the capital for
copies Of certain acts, for which they
rendered the requisite SO per copy
tor each act. The editor intimates
rather strongly that these copies are
withheld by the State officers at Lin
cola until a pledge is given nottopub-
llsh them, as publication would tend
20 lessen the fees, which they hope to
obtain from individuals between this
and next fall, ; the time the laws are
expected to be officially published.
The laws passed are on file in Mr.,
Kennards Office. Mr.. Kennard is 8
c~orteous gentleman, and the demand
made upon him for copies Of the laws
is great; and we would not, for a mo-
ment, doubt that any one can get q
certified copy Of any law by sending
him the amount he win have 10 pay
some one for copyingi IL. The Secreta-
" Is not to blame that the laws are
not sooner published and distributed.
Let g large portion Of the blame rest
upCnthe Legislature, whereit belongs.
we wish officers generally were as
prompt to respond to the demands Of
their constituents as we have good
reason to know is the custom Of the
Honorable Secretary.

The Methodist Church North
and South.

ST. LOUIS, May Ia.
The communications which were
exchanged between the college Of
Bishops of the Methodist Church
South, which met In this city some
days since, and Bishops James and
Simpson. q deputation representing
the Board of Bishops Ofthe Methodist
Church lately in session at Meadville,
Penn, are published. The commune
cations relate to q general and full re-
union Of the church, separated by the
final act in 1914.
The reply Of the Southern Bishops
does not entertain the question of the
reunion Of the two bodies under one
Jurisdiction as previous to the separa-
ton in 1874. II asserts that the frater-
nal relations must first be restored be-
fore, if at all, such a proposition can
be entertained. These fraternal rela-
tons cannot be restored except upon
an overture made by the Northern
General Conference upon the basis Of
the plan of separation of 1874 imply
ing an abandonment by the General
Conference North, ofthe underground
assumed in their General Conference
at Pittsburg, in 1848, which assumed
that the separation was q schism and
secession upon the part of the South
ern Church, and implying also that
the aggressions, as charged by the
Southern Churches should cease.
The Southern Bishops deny the
statement that slavery was the cause,
and assert that it was only the Oeca-
sion of the separation in 1874; that il
simply was the subject which COCA
stoned the assertion by the Northern
members of the general Conference OF
1874, or authority to legislate upon sec
ular questions, and concerning the
civil institutions of the country.
