We print this week Proposals for
the location Of a College, issued by
the authority Of the Nebraska State
Convention Of the Baptist Demon
ination. A city is made up and
grows out Of the union Of a variety Of
Influences, prominent among which
we find seminaries, colleges and uni
FeFsities. If Brownville has got the
grit, plth and vim, around which cap
ital, manufacturers, schools Of learn
ing, intelligence and population clus-
ter, then she viii make such an effort
to secure this college as the impOF-
lance of the case demands. The Bap-
fist Church Is progressive, and pos
sesses that vitality and durability
which makes a tower Of strength
among the people. and whatshe really
sets ~aboutshe accomplishes. A college
under the fostering care Of that
church would be prosperous, and CEN
ter in Brownville the good viii and
infuence Of the entire denomination
Of the State. VIII we secure the Local
ton o. such an institution In Brown
vile? We can If we win.

We are Informed by Hon. E. Fl. Barnard,
County Treasurer, that last week he received
from the Union Pacific Railroad Company
over 5000 in payment Of for lS6S.-Fre-
mOnf Tribune.
The valuation of the Pacific Rail
Road in Dodge county, for the year
1869 was S24O, 600, and upon that valu-
alton it pays into the county treasury,
as per report of its county treasurer,
the sum of $1,000, or sufficient to pay
the interest on 500, 600 at seven per
cent per annum. We refer to these
various items as they occur, to show
that what we said and wrote toinduce
the people of this county to vote for
the bonds to build railroads, proves
not only correct in theory but in praO-
tice as well. ( We admit that we are
in earnest upon the subject of railroad
construction, but we will not allow
our zeal therein to mislead the people
by drawing conclusions from premises
which we know to be false.

Prof Beals, State Superintendent,
passed through town last Monday on
his way to the District Institute, held
this week in Salem for Pawnee and
Richardson counties. He represents
that there is a growing interest in the
State for better schools, better teach
ers, improved apparatus and more
commOdious school rooms. He says
that notwithstanding there are no
sufficient reports from the School Dis
tricts Of the State upon which a proper
distribution of the School Funds can
be made, the school interests are not
to suffer by any delay in supplying
the necessary funds. 1t is confident
" believed that the fund on hand
for the schools is at least three times
greater in amount than that Of last
spring. The Professor holds an Insti-
tute In Beatrice, commencing next
Monday evening, for Gage and Lam
counties.

The handwriting on the wall is seen
by our neighbOrs at Nebraska City
and Omaha. For years, they have
pTesistentys ignored the existence of
place like Portsmouth, except, per-
haps, when they were forced to make
mention Of her existence. And even
now they would do the same thing,
but the handwriting stands out in
bold characters, and Plattsmouth be-
comes the favored locality on the
Missouri river, and takes rank with
the cities of the world. This fact has
stirred our neighbors to renewed ac-
ton. They find the old game of ig-
nOring Portsmouth will no longer
accomplish the work Of keeping US in
the back ground. 1t will now require
active effort on their part TO compete
with this city, in the race for fame and
ommercialimpOrtance We are glad
to see them striking out and taking
PlattsmOuth as their guidetO greatness
notwithstanding, they vince under
