Now they've got it! What do you
think Col. Carpenter did once upon
a time for about three weeks? He
acted as commissary for troops at
Corinth, in the Spring OF 1868, and
he ISSUED decayed bacon and pork,
wormy hard tack, sour flour, black,
filthy sugar, and that indescribable
compound of nastiness, known as
roasted ground coffee" The Spring
field Ill.) State Registrar pape:
that would have liked to put poison
in every ounce OF food the Union
soldiers ate in 1s63-says SO! And,
not only did Col. Carpenter do that,
sir, but .orninst Corinth there was a
post of black, greasy niggers, who
were such internal apes as to fight
for freedom with the Union army;
and this Colonel just issued the best
stores that money could buy to these
nlggers, and let the white troops &c

gelorious Knapp Davenport Ga

An important decision was render
ed by the Supreme Court Of this
State at its June session, in a case of
appeal from Winneshiek county. 1t
appears that the School Board OF the
Independent Districs of DEBORAH had
established series of rules for the
government OF the schools under its
charge, among which rules there was
one suspcnding pupils until rcinstat-
ed by the Board, for absence amount
ing to six halt days in four consccu
tive weeks-courting Two times tar
DIV as one abscnce-and ut the same
time providing for the excuse of alb
sence upon certificate of the parent
or guardian either personally, in
writing, or by SPECIAL messenger.
Under this rule two children were
suspended, and suit was brought in
each case, claiming damages of the
Board of Directors for the suspen-
sion, and praying that the defend
ants be restrained thereafter from
enforcing the rule. At the hearing
to disolve, the injunction was render
ed perpetual and judgement rendered
againct the Board who appealed to
the Supreme Court where the case
was reviewed at length, and reversed
under an extended opinion delivered
by Judge Beck.
1t is impossible to give brief view
OF the lengthy opinion, but We quote
a pointed sentence The rule re-
qniring constant and prompt atten-
dance is for the good OF the pupil
and to secure the very object the
law had in view in establishing pub
lie schools. 1t is therefore reasona.
Die and proper. II is within the au-
thority Of the school officers to pre-
scribe and enforce it." This will set.
tie an important question, and the
sooner our people learn the facts the
better for them and the schools.
Or the question of tardy attend.
ance, the Court is equally definite,
and treats the question not SO much
il the light Of injury 20 the tardy
pupil as to the punctual portion Of
the school, and adds that, "as the law
now is, no other means can be de-
vised for enforcing regular and
prompt attendance, than the penalty
of expulsion"
Justice Miller gave dissenting
opinion of some length and power in
in which the main points are against
the authority of the board to regu-
late attendance, and combining them
to the enactment of rules for govern
ment within and during, the hours OF
school only.

Our Railroad Prospects.

The people OF lama county have
been anticipating that the Grinnell,
Cedar Falls & Wlnona railroad
would be built this season, through
the county. They had reason for
this anticipation. The Vice Presi-
dent Of the company was very posi-
tive in his averments that such would
be the fact. The burden of his
speeches and conversations was, as
soon as the people vote the taxes
required work will be commenced
on the road. The greater part of
tie taxes called for were voted over
a month ago. Patiently, the people
have waited for report Of the COM
mcncelnent of active operations. No
tidings coming, the Directors of the
company from this county obtained
from the Preside mt call for special
meeting of the Board of Directors.
Our Directors had had something to
do in infcrcing belief in the Vice
Presidents averments, and they
wished 10 know if they had been
honestly dealt with.
The meeting Of the Board of Di-
rectors took place at Grinnell, on
Tuesday, Of last week. The result
OF that meeting may be given in a
few words. DR.. Sears. the Vice
President of the company, acted
without the authority or sanction OF
the company in making his represen'
tations as to the ability Of the com
pany to build the road this season
The Vice President has been toe
sanguinc or he has w,lfally misrep
resented. Atany rate, he promised
lis road sic months earlier than the com
panp seiil be able to furnish 1t to us.
One reason of the inability of tn
company to build the road as soon
as promised Ivy the Vice Presidea
is, the Central Railroad OF Iowa Com
pany is not in condition to guaran
tee the bonds Of this road this yea,
and the bonds of the road cannot b.
sold without responsible guarantee
or portion of the road constructed
and in operation. The Central ha
not yet completed its own road b!
over fifty miles, and until that l
built it will not be able to guarantee
the bonds of this road. And, be
sides, the company does not desir
, to bond or construct the road b,
sections. but prefers to bond and con
strnct it as an entire, complete road
from Grinnell to Winona. To effec
this, the right OF way must be OF
tanned, the survey and establishment
OF the line made, and the aid vote
for the whole distance, before an
bond is issued or any work done 0
the road.
We believe there are no indie.
tons Of failure. Every index point
to the intention, ability and determ
