AIR. EDrroR: Owing to the bad
condition Of the Normal School Bull
ding il was thought advisable, at the
last meeting Ofthe Board Of Education.
not b continue the school with its
full Quota Of teachers this term, bat
let Prof. 1lartin havecharge Of &C and
instruct al who might wish to attend
/ and at the same time save the expense
of teachers to The State.
E In view of this I resign my pOsiti0n
IS Principal for the present term,
leaving the board free 70 make such
preparations for the coming year as
may be deemed best.
GOnsideEing the great ineonvenien-
ces under which we have labOred in
the past and the great number Of hear
ty friends we have gained for tho
school notWit t1standing we predict q
bright future for ie no matter who
may be the Principal SO he be efficient,
for we think most Of the hard knocks
have fallen on our shoul lders, and with
judicious management the nexS. fn-
cumbent viii find comparatively an
easy task. And now with our State
and County Superintendent and our
LNOLLltdA AJCAOAA AAlIl llll1 ~ LtOLALLC
must find a more e0ngenial soil than
Nebraska can offer. We have aimed
to make the school g fountain Of true
education, hence we have not asked
any person whether it pleased this OF
that one, bat have endeavOred to
teach thoroughly and correctly. Our
object has not been to please but to
make good thorough school, and
how far we have succeeded in this we
leave the public to judge. We are
aware that all are not pleased, we ex-
peeted that, thus it has ever been and
ever viii be, teachers have their faults
and are liable to err; we would not
plead perfection for any one, but to
please every one and conduct a good
school is simply impossible, and this
we apprehend is nob the question, but
is the school subscribing fts end and
design that is the question, not wheth-
eF this scholar or that patron is pleas
ed or displeased. We have no right
to look at men IN any Of our public
offices or Institutions, we are not e
do this or that to please any partieu-
lar person (althOugh there are these
who honestly think the whole n9achi-
merry Of society would 90 60 rack and
ruin did they not have a hand in It, }
but our aim must ever be for the best,
independent ofmen.
We therefore earnestly hope The
Board Of EducatiOn viii SO conduct
the Normol School that it win make
good, thorough, self-reliant teachers,
whether it pleases or displeases. AS
we have said we believe q bright fa-
ture is in store for il if all fearlessly
do their duty, but we must stlll re-
member that It is only in the bud and
a wrong move at this time wiz blast
all the future. -,

A lady, who writes from Washing
ton to the Philadelphia Press, says
that Governor Fenton, of New York,
is one of the most noticeable men in
the Senate, not handsome, but distin-
guished looking; shows his blOoded
origin as much as the English aristoe-
racy. Tall and slender in figure, his
face wears none of the fuFrows of age,
but his abundant hair looks as if the
hand of Time had seized hold of it
with the intention Of blanching tin a
single night, but there was unbecOm-
ing hesitation on the part of the "Old
man Of the sickle" then a compromise,
and a neutral tint Of iron-gray was the
result. This crown of irOn-gray glo-
ry suTmOunts his temples as the sol
emn clouds touch the mountain peak;
and those who are attracted by a maj-
esty OF mein are advised to seek the
presence of Senator Fenton.

Large bells are now being hung In
England upon a plan by which the
friction is so reduced that they can
be ruBg without the exertiOn of much
force. The system consists in max
ing the gudgeORs upon which the bell
is hung V-shaped, like the bearings Of
a scale-beam, and applying the pOwef
by lever attached to the stock, the
wheel being dispensed with. The
gudgeOns must not be lower than the
top of the bell. Ia q recent experi-
ment with this new method, a bell
with 3 diameter at its mouth of 76{
inches and weighing 10, 600 pounds or
AZ tons, was rung, it Is stated, by the
use of one arm. This plan, &c is asser-
ted, is easier than pulling the clapper
by a rope, and does not involve so
great a risk Of cracking the bell. The
tone is also said to be much gFander.

aud District Attorney j. l.. Gray, while
riding, on saturday morning last, IN the
direction OF Greenvile, from Bonham,
accompanied by Federal escort, were

seven miles from oonham, and instantly
killed; also, that one of the escort was
wounded.

msclf, Judge Gray, a corporal and SIX
prlvates, left Bonham for Greenville Que
hour before daybreak last saturday.
After journGying seven miles, and having
passed the iast house near Bonham, the
party came to place where each side OF
the road was bordered with dence thick
cts. Behind this breastwork the assasSins
were lying, Some three-auai tiers OF a
mile further on was another breastwork,
similarly constructed, and no doubt
s,reenlng other members of this band.
the object clearly beinf to kill Judge
Hart at the second ambuscade provided
he should escape the FIRST.
just as he and the foremost Of his
party reached point in line with the
opening or passway which had been cut
into the thicket, the asSassinS opened fire
| At the first volley Judge Hart was struck
in the right arm which was broken il
/ two places, shot grazcd his right side

We lose on special taxes $2O5, 900, on
legacles Sl7I,O0 and on SUGGESTIONS
Sill, 900. We gain on passports $4,000,
tax upon gas, Si35, 600, on stamps $3.50,
000-nearly million of dollars on the
single article of the stamps on legal in
struments and We lose on the salaries of
officers S245, 0OOThis last loss Mr.. Delano
happily explains by saying, I'VE don,
have so many officers, now, drawing sal
aries, and that is one of the things Gen.
Grant intends to do-while he collects
the tax he intends also to reduce the ex-
penses Of the Government "
Here then, we have gain of t,centy-
one and hall millions toward paying the
national debt. If the two dollar tax had
been collected, says Mr. Delano. as it
should have been, on IS, 900, 900, gallons
OF whiskey in 1853. that revenue alone
would have yielded $3.50, 900. 900. instead
of which the actual amount collected was
less than $4,000, 600.
Again we are told that the internal rev.
enue receipts during July, August, and
September of 1868, (under President
johnson. was in roand numbers less than
$50. 900, 900. The receipts OF July, Au-
gust and the first half of the current
month Of September, iunder Grant, have
been S43, 500, 900. And AIR. Delano
prophesies that the receipts OF the entire
three mouths Of July, August. and Sep
TENDER, 1869, will be $49, 900, 900; or ten
miii,0aS Ia erceSS Of the same thrce mouths
of iast year
Ten millions gain in single quarter,
under the new Administration-thes
ar tigures of arithmetic which will out
weigh with sensible people the figures Of
rhetoric in which General Grant de
tractors are expert. 1t Is not expected
that an equal gain can be made in every
quarter; bat Commissioner Dtlaho dc
ciarc$, 4 do believe that at the end of
the next fiscal year the internal revenue
will reach $l75, OOO, 900, and that without
al;eriug the present law, bat simply by
c.cccutiHg it. lie believes, also, that
the present revenue laws will here
after yield every year $3.50 600, 900 He
asserts that The revenues of this gov
eminent may be increased over past re-
celpts by the present year S25,OaO-
UJJ per annum;' be declares his belief
that the expenses Of the Governn ent
will be decreased by a similar amount
and he concludes, therefore, that, as un-
der the previous Administration We paid
off $50, 600, 900 year. now, under Gen.
Grant, we can pay 500, 1000, 900 Of our
national debt -
This argument Mr.. Dclano turns for
eibly against reputation. With eight
years OF similar gain, he says, our ma
tional debt will not be more than 81 ,2OO,-
0JO, 900 " Ii it be sligtingly answered
that this remarkable speech was made in
the course OF a political canvass, it
must be remembered that at least it was
made by man who Is perfectly CONVEX
SAINT with the official figures he uses, and
VINO knows that few days at furthest
will disclose those figures to confirm his
very welcome declarations.
