ARcHBJsiroP PURCELL, OF Cincinnati,
recently had a conference with the
School Board OF that city, in which
he distinctly stated that the eduea-
ton OF Catholic youth could not be
given over TO the civil authori-
ties. Catholics cannot approve a
system Of public schools unless the
Catholic faith and the teachings OF
the Catholic Church shall be part
of the course Of instruction. The
Bishop, however, stated that during
his visit to Rome he would strive
with the Pope for a modification OF
the requirements Of the Church in
this behalf, so as to allow Catholic
children to attend the public schools
without any religious instruction.

CHIcAG0 politics have assumed a
queer shape lately. A split in the
Republican party on the prohibition
question has promptly brought all
the Democratic papers out strongly
against the use Of strong drink, in
order to encourage those in that in
tere-t to widen the breach already
made in the party. Democracy on
The side Of temperance is new fea-
ture, and one that should be encour-
aged. no matter what influences may
have been brought to pear to induce
the reformation. We should think
the old hard-heads OF the party
would be a little chary Of these new
isms, especially those looking to
reformation either in morals or in-
telligence, as these have ever been
Stumbling block in the way OF
Democratic progress.

The Court HOuse is now in the
hands Of the p~lasteFs, and will no
doubt be ready for occupancy before
the first of January. When we come
to see 1t finished on the outside, dives
ted of the staging, and with its neatly
prOpOrtioned cupalO, we can realize
that the people have acted wisely, and
that their money has not been eXpen-
ded foolishly upon a building made
quate to their wants.
Messrs. Rice & Bro, have Just COM
pleted and moved into one of the
handsomest and most conveniently
arraigned drug store to be found in the
west.
u.s. Davenport, Esq, has compile
ted a new building, the upper story
of which is occupied for photograph
rooms and the lower story for tinware
stoves, &c. /; but finding the room in
sufficient for the latter business, Mr.
D. has determined to enlare it by an
addition. Messrs. Raper & Leming
have enlarged their grocery house and
now have ample room and are doing
quite a thriving business.
Messrs.s ShellhOrn & Bro, general
assortment store, have ren2odeled and
refitted their building, and have
brought into use all available room
on the first floor. They are still de-
sirous of enlarging by purchasing the
Odd Fellows Hall, which occupies
the upper story of their building.
Messrs. Curtis & Peavy, general as
sortment store, have a large and COM
mOdious stone store house 26X60, two
stories, which is now, we believe, en-
tirely completed above and below
cellar under the whole building. With
their business, however, they find no
s%uperfuous room.
Messrs. Butler & Fowler, dry goods
and clothing merchants, have COM
pletely refitted their houses and cur
tailed their business to dry goods and
clothing.

More than one-half the importance
Of the Southwestern road we deem
lies in the strategy Of its creation.
Through it we will not only reach out
and draw 20 us the valuable trade Of
the rich and growing country en-
braced IN u southwestern counties,
but at the same time Will build q fence
across the back door of one or two r.
val cities that have heretofore taken
from US much of the fruits of trade
that naturally graYitate in this diree-
ton. This despOiling and rObbing OF
our fields should at once be stopped.
We can only do 50 by fencing them
with Observation-Disclosures CITY Press.
It appears from the above that Ne
braska City is contemplating two OBJ
jects; first, to reach after trade; sec
Ondly, to fence across the back door Of
one or two rival cities south of them.
Now, if she is so DESTROYS of secur-
ing our back-doOr trade as to 60 to the
expense of fencing across our back
doors to prevent our going in that di-
rection, why we certainly will accom-
modate her, provided the health of
our city and its sanitary regulations
are not infringed upon in the opera
ton.
But, says our cotempOrary, more
than half the importance of the
Southwestern road we deem lies in the
strategy Of its creation
All well, we supposed they meant
business; but if it is a little paper no
tariety that they were after, then we
do not doubt that half Of what they
wish to accomplish was gained in the
strategy of its creation :" though
Just what was created" and just what
they expect the other half of the inn
pOrtance" is to consist of, and when
they expect to receive its benefits, we
are uniformed, but must await the
Developments Of the future.
We are glad to hear of the prosperi-
ty of Nebraska City and of all other
portions of our common State, and
have no desire to fence them up in
order to compel farmers to come to us
to trade, who now do their trading
elsewhere.
We are sorry our neighbOr Of the
Press should feel so worried because
the farmers Of the country viii come
to Brownville to trade.
IF the people of Johnson and Gage
counties do their trading ia Brown
it is because goods are cheaper
here and they find a more ready sale
for their wheat, corn, cattle and hogs
here, and at better prices. However,
the farmers of those counties may
like the idea of being fenced
put of Brownville by Nebraska City.

To he G0D1Eaon Council Of the city Of
BrOsOnUiHe.
The UNDERSIGNED, IegeI voters Of the
city Of BrownviHe, in theSAte of Ne
braska, present you this their petition
for the following purposes, to-Wtt:
We ask you to call q Special Flee
ton in said city ct the earliest possible
day. We ask that you submit 20 the
qualified voters Of said city at said
election the questions: Shall the city
of BrOWnville subscribe 500, 900 to the
capital stock of the Quincy, Missouri
and Pacific Railroad CompaRy2 Shall
the city Of BrownvilIe issue her Bonds
due in twenty years, bearing seven
per cent. interest, to pay for said
stock, dollar for dollar? Shall the
Common Council of the city of
Brownville be empowered to levy q
tax each year sufficient to pay the
interest on said Bonds semi-annually
and sufficient to provide q sinking
fund TO pay said bonds at maturity 2
Provided however, That 40 bonds
shall be issued and no stock taken
until the said Railroad shall be gra-
ded, bridged, tied and irOned, ready
for the rolling stock, from q poiut
opposite the city of Brownville on the
right bank of the Missouri river, east
as far as the st. Joseph and Council
Bluffs Railroad, and as much further
as said bonds will be sufficient TO com
plete the same. And, Provided fur
ther, That work on said road shall
commence by the LIST day of May,
a. d., 1870, and be completed as afOre-
said by the 1st day of August, q. d.,
1870, provided that $4,000 Of said
bonds shall be issued without further
consideration than that they shall be
taken in lieu Of the stock subscribed
by our citizens in snid company.
The above petition is being cireula-
ted for signatures in this city. When
signed It will be presented to the City
Council of the city of Brownville at
their first regular meeting in Decem-
Der, for such action as in their judg-
ment the merits of the case may de
mand. There are a few, we are sorry
to learn, who oppose the prayer of the
petition, some for one reason and some
for another. The reasons which are
thus urged were all considered by the
meeting in McPherson's Hall, the
minutes of which we published last
week, and after full consideration the
majority decided to pursue the course
set forth in the petition. Now, we
appeal to all to unite in carrying for
ward the work as directed by that
meeting. BrownviIle has suffered too
much already by divided Council.
The question now is, shall these
continue? or shall we be uni
