A Good Man Gone.tO Rest.1

We are panied to chronicle the
death of DIR. ASA COLEMAN, of Troy,
Ohio. He was one Of the earliest set
tiers of Miami county, and for more
than half a century n of the most
prominent and useful citizens. Many
Of his old acquaintances, now resi-
dents in this county, will regret to
learn of his death. The Doctor was
ever characterized for his good health
and fine preservation. The last time
we saw him, he was straight as an
arrow. and but for the silvered locks
Of eiVhty-four winters, looked younger
than some of his ons We have
reasons, personally, to remember DR..
COLEMAN, with feelings of great re-
spect and profound v~eneration, for
many kind acts, and words spoken to
MS In boyhood days. We have before
as. as we write, a letter from him, re-
ceived but a few short weeks ago, in
which he refers to our childhood, and
early associations in politics and bust
ness with our grandfather. The
following we clip from the Union, of
Troy:
Dr. Coleman was of the earliest
settlers in Troy, and has, for more
than half a century, been one Of its
most prominent and useful citizens.
we met him on the afternoon previous
20 his death, on the street, and he
appeared to be in more than his usual
health and spirits. He was in the
Court room on that afternoon, and
other persons noticedthe same fact. In
the evening he retired in the same
apparent health, and some time before
daylight, Mrs. Coleman, who was
with him, walked from sleep to find
biul a corpse. He had died, IL seems,
without a word, a struggle, or a
groan.
The remains Of DR.. G. will be buried
a. 9 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon by
TIE KBigsts Templar Of Coleman
Comms=dTy. assisted by the Dayton
CommsndFY.

Is That What's the Matter!

It is rumored that the Quakers have
project for purchasing the Sac Reser-
walton from the Government, remOv-
ing all the Indians on the Iowa Res
ervatiOn, and forming q Quaker set
Element upon the former lands. The
Quakers, we admit, are good, peace
BILE, thrifty people; but we cannot see
the justice of making the interests of
the entire country to bend TO their
schemes. A treaty designed to give
us a railroad has been suppressed and
the Indians are to be concentrated on
the very outskirts of u town, where
they will be a curse to themselves and
the country, in order that the Quakers
may secure a choice body of land for
a settlement of their own. We are
opposed to the monopoly of a large
body of land by any n race, clan or
creed-whetheF it be Indians. Nor
mans or Quakers.- White Cloud C6iet.

The following from the AdUance is
decidedly to the point:
Nov that the Fifteenth Amend
ment is ratified and Impartial Stuff
rage ~irreversibly established, acertain
political party will have to transfer its
opposition from this specific measure
to the general principles which the
measure represents. The following
would make a good platform for them
in their present condition:
ResOLUed l, That we Indignantly
protest against the Spirit of the Age.
2, That we utterly deny and ignore
the Logic of events.
5. That hereafter as heretofore, we
will march steadily and irresistably
backward, leaving an unpleasant fu-
ture behind US, and courageously con-
tiDUe to fight against the Inevitable.

Ar. Editor:
1 notice in your paper of the 10th
inst. an account of a donation party,
in which is a mistake, and I thihk, in
Justice to the good people Of Fairview,
# should be corrected.
On the night of January ID 1 went
to Fafrview, to attend a donation
party, which was well attended, and
every one present seemed to enjoyshe
affair.
In one corner of the house, saw T..
E. Allen selling tickets foethe supper
at fftv cents each, which were going.
off rapid; In another corner we're c.
IT. Kennedy anSJ. P. Randall selling
canned peaches, oysters, candies, etc,
to suit thetaste of the audience. The
proceeds to be added to the church
doDation.
on going to the school house found
two tables, the full length of the
room, loaded with all the luxuries of
life, just such a supper as the good
people of Fairview-are capable of
getting up ; and many baskets and
boxes were. scattered around the room
full of provisions. Icould but think
if some of u Eastern friends were
here they would thiLk there was no
danger of starvation in Nebraska.
The word being given that supper
was ready the tables were soon filed,
and, after a divine blessing was asked
by the Rev, L. F. Britt, the assem-
blage proceeded, by actual test, to
prove that what was on the tnble was
no humbug. Over one hundres aud
fifty partook o supper, and more than
twelve baskets full were afterwards
gathered up. r --f
After returning to the church and
all seated, abeautiful quilt was spread
3utin full view of the audience; neat
ly set together and splendidly made,
it was presented to Mrs. Britt by Mrs.
H. Gilleland, with an appropriate
address, which was responded to by
Mrs. Britt. Mr.. Elias Randall came
forward with a very beautifuland sub
stantial Overcoat, costing S37, which
he presented to Rev. l.. F. Britt, in
the name of the good people of Fair
view and Bedford, which was received
and responded to in a manner eharac-
t~eristic of the man.. All passed off
pleasantly.
In footing up the amount raised fol
donation we found it to be $124.

Mr.. REvEIs, the colored Senator
from Mississippi, has already done
what no other Senator has heretofore
had the nerve to do-ordered the door
keepers not to bring him cards during
the session hours. Any n who has
ever spent an hour in the Senate re-

Of buttOn-holing he will escape by
this course. 1t is said further, that
he advocates the removal of all polit-

We were pleased this week to re-
ceive a call from an old friend, and
early settler of BrOWnville, MI. VIM.
L. FERGUSON. We found DIR. F.
here when we came, nearly fifteen
years ago. He entered the frst tract
of land entered ia this State, then
Territory; the piece OfIand now bound
by Mr.. HoADLEY, and known as
South Brownville. he has been all
oyer the Western Territories since
that time, and is now engagedin min
ing at Ellsworth, Nevada. BE pre-
sents us, for our geological cabinet,
exceedingly rich specimens of silver
quartz, and foar-spar, from American
flag silver mines, Ellsworth, Nevada.
The specimens Of silver quartz is said
70 be worth at the rate Of 5000 per
ton. Mr.. F. is one of the owners Of
these mines, and is on his way to Chi
eaRo te purchase machinery for crush

Military Management Of Indian

AuakrSs
We desire to ask those who have
been 80 clamOrOus for q transfer Of the
Indian Bureau to the War Depart
ment, chow they like It As far as they
have gone!" The late Piegan mas
sacre is being thoroughly ventilated,
and is shown to have beenamost das-
tardly outrage-a disgrace to the mill
tary and the country. In speaking OF
it 9 Gen. Sully writes to the Indian
Bureau expressing grave doubts as to
whether the band surprised and MUIR
dered, had taken any part in the late
depredAtiOns.u
Lieutenant w. B. Pease, the agent
of the BlackfOot tribe, sends a full re-
lport to Commissioner Parker which
puts a worse light upon the matter
than the frst.report through Vincent
Collyer. After giving the same fig
ures presented by that gentleman, he
proceeds:
"Out of two hundred and nineteen
belonging to Red Horns band, only
ifty-six survived. Among these are
nine young men who escaped during
the attack, and five who were away
hunting. The lives of eighteen women
and children, none of them more than
three years of age and many of them
much younger-some of whom were
wounded, were spared by the sol
diers."
"The affair is looked upon at the
Interior Department as the most as
graceful butchery in the annals of our
dealings with the INDIANS, as Ia one
respect it is blacker than the Chiving-
ton massacre. The band being terri
Div afflicted with the small pox, the
deaths averaging at the time of the
attack one out of thirty-six daily"
General Logan, who has heretofore
been in favor Of a transfer of the In
dian Bureau, and who is, we believe,
Chairman of the Committee having
the matter in charge in the House,
will ask the Committee to strike out
the clause making a transfer.
We claim to have some experience
in Indian matters, military and civil,
and undertake to say that the mill
tary, regulars and volunteers, have,
the last ten years made more
among the Indians than all
else combined.

take this first opportunity to com
ply with your request
My decision in the case was arrived
at after a somewhat protracted con-
sideration during the summer of 1869,
The obiectof that consideration was
the adoption of such regulations to
guide County superintendent as
would best advance the interests of
education in the State, and would not
conflict with the plain letter of the
law, The decision at which I arrived
was this:
County Superintendent and School
Boards should treat as valid the GER
Iifcate issued to any person who "has
attended said institution twenty-five
weeks" and has been examined In
the studies required by the Board in
such manner as may be (has heen)
prescribed" according to the provi-
sions ofSec.11 of ian act to locate, en-
dow and establish a State Norma,
school, - approved June %, 1867.
I also decided that such certificate
must be subject to revocation by coun-
ty superintendent, under the provi-
sion of Sec. 50 of can Act To Estab-
Iish a System of Public instruction
for the State Of Nebraska" Approved
Feb. 1869. ..1
The reasons which led to this deci-
sion may be briefly stated thus:
LIST, The prevailing custom in other
States.
I'd. It will advance the interests of
the Normal School.
Sd. 1t will induce teachers to make
special preparation for their work.
4th. The power of a State institu-
ton to issue certificates which are
made vaiidin all counties, is not with
drawn by simply comforting similar
and less extensive power on a local
officer.
5th. The power of the Board Of Ed
ucation to grant certificates is not in.
consistent with the power. vested in
the County Superintendent.
9Th. The interests of the Schools re-
quire that all certificates be subject to
revocation. The Board of Education
can not keep a supervision of the Nor
NAL School graduates in the distant
counties.
9TH. The specific language of Sec.
so, of the School Law: 1.-THE County
Superintendent may revoke any
teachers certificate for any reason
which would have justified the with
holding thereof" &c,
Believing this to be in harmony
with the best interests of all con
cerned, I
am, very resp'y,
aud truly, yours,
S. ID. BEALS,
Supt. Public Instruction.

THE]LEGISLATURE-

Our delegation in the Legislature
has returned, that body having adj
journed on Friday night last.
From them we learn that the Peni-
Tertiary, Military, Emigration and
Herd Law passed, and were approved
by the Governor.
BY the provision Of the Penitentis-
ry bill, three inspectors were elected,
on joint ballot, whose duties are to
sell the penitentiary lands and apprO-
pirate the funds, arising therefrOm, to
the building of apenitentiary building
near Lincoln. They are also autho-
rized to provide for the immediate
care Of the State convicts.
The Emigration bill provides for q
Board of Emigration. They are
to meet and appoint a commission,
to reside in New York city, for the
the distribution Of such printed
matter as the Board shall direct, and
to assist In forwarding emigraDts 70
the State.
The Herd law is the same rs that
passed by both Houses last year. The
same precincts, In Nemaha county,
are exempt from the operation Of the
law, as last year. Richardson county,
which was exempt last year, is now
subject to the provisions Of the law.
We will publish in our next issue.
The Joint committee appointed to
investigate the dOings of the Governor,
