PENINSULAR RAILWAY.
HOW TU "a Ig'EST.

This is an enquiry which every one should
have truAfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in examina-
ton Of Routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The &C. B. Il Q. r. r." rpnning from Chi
cago through Galesburg to Burlington, has
achieved splendid reputation In the last two
years as the leading Passenger Route to the
west. At Burlington it connects with the great
Burlington Route which runs direct through
close connections to California and the Terri
tories and passengers starting from Van Bu-
ren County, on their way westward, cannot do
better than to take the c. B. & @. and Burling-
ton Route.
This line has published a phamphlet called
" How to go West" which contains much val
liable information; large correct map OF the
Great West, which can be obtained free Of
charge by addressing the General Passenger

The undersigned having been ap.
pointed by the teachers Of this county,
in convention assembled at Lawrence,
May oath, 1872, Committee TO ex.
anime the different books il use, and
report list for use in the schools OF
this county" and having had the matter
under careful consideration would re-
spectfully submit the subicined report
together with few of the reasons, in
brief, why it would seem desirable that
a uniformity of books be adopted
lst, We SHOULD HAVE DlsTR,cT TYl.
FoRMITY.-A variety of tex: books on
any one subject opposes concentration of
effort on the part Of the teacher, and in.
duces lack OF earnestness and enthusi.
asm in the class.
There are schools in this county in
which arithmetics from six different
authors are found in the hands of the
puplls-and this is not an exceptional
study. The same diversity is found in all
branches to a great extent.
The teacher is compelled to waste his
time in giving that instruction many
times which ought to be given once for
all, and the class have no common in.
terest or sympathy in each others work.
I'd, WE SHOULD HAVE County UyI.
FoRM1TY.-1t is evident to any one hav.
ing the slightest acquaintance with the
working of our schools that, if in some
way, We could all use the same books,
it would be great saving both of the
pupils time, teachers labor, and the
parents money.
Whenever, from any cause, pupil
wishes to attend school in any district
except his own, he is put to the expense
Of purchasing an entire new set of
books, no better than the ones he already
has. Experience tells US this is no small
item.
The great majority Of teachers, es.
pecially those in our common schools,
desire uniformity. They are wear;ed
and perplexed by the multiplicity Of
books thrust upon them.
The graded schools Of the county are
continually receiving pupils from the
District Schools, and are beginning TO
furnish to the latter a large portion Of
their teachers. The Union School IS
becoming the educational center Of all
the common schools for miles around

it the duty of school officers to adopt a
uniform series of books to be used in

A Republican meeting was held in
this village, at the Court House, on Sat
urday evening last The meeting was
addressed by y. Williams, Esq, who
made an eloquent and stirring appeal in
favor of Republican principles. He
said that he should speak somewhat af-
ter the manner of medical men, and des-
ignate the opposing delegates as DR..
Grant and DR.. Greeley. He then went
on to review the prescriptions that had
been given the nation by DR.. Grant, both
as a military and civil doctor, and COM
mented on the good effects of the medi-
cine prescribed by the DR.. He designa.
ted the Liberal Republicans as an off,
shoot from the regular school of practi.
TONERS, and said that there was less
virtue in their medicines than in homeo-
pathy, as they proposed to administer
their prescriptions in milder dilutions.
He then showed the inconsistencies
of the course pursued by Sumner and
Schurz and Greeley, and the other apos
tate Republicans, and claimed that the
administration of Gen Grant had been
an eminently successful one and that the
country had never been more prosper.
Gus than under Republican rule and
showed that the election Of Mr.. Greeley
would inevitably lead to the restoration
of the Democratic party to power, and
closed with an eloquent appeal to Re
publicans to stop aud consider before
they cast their votes for surrendering
the Government into the control of
men who have cxertcd their utmost
ability to destroyit, and who had vio.
lated their solemn oaths by engaging in
the rebellion, and he entreated men who
desired the prosperity of the country, TO
consider well whether we could better
trust such men as Davis, Breckenridge,
and other leaders of the rebellion, or
the men who for the last twelve years
have successfully run the Government,
and have conducted the country through
the greatest rebellion the world ever
saw and had successfully carried the
country through the more trying task
of settling the affairs of the Govern.

5 II CONWAY, EDITOF

The Democrats or kentucky were 81
encouraged by the first reported success
of their party in North Carolina tina
they threw off the Greeley gags they
have worn so far in the canvass, and
blurted right out what are their rea
sentiments, and what is the real design
of the Greeley movement in the South
At a Greeley barbecue held in Lexing
ton, Kentucky, Friday afternoog
speeches were made by Congressmeu
Beck, Col. Blackburn, Gen. Hodge
and others, in which the North Carolina
election was glorifed, and the cat let
out of the bag" Mr.. Beck declared
that the Democrats support Horace
Greeley as a means of getting into pow
er; and, upon his election, Democrat
ic Congress will not only prevent him
from doing any harm, but compel him
to acquiesce in any measures the Demo
cratic party deems necessary. Col.
Blackburn said that the Democratic
party is not dead. Success in this elec.
tion will make it more powerful than
ever before. 1t will rule the country ;
and it will rule Mr.. Greeley, no matter
what Mr.. Greeley may personally desire.
Gen. Hodge was still more explicit
His exact words, taken down by a
shorthand reporter, were as follows :
Looking back now upon what [ once
considered the shattered and fruitless
hopes of the South, | see that the
equal rights and sovereignty of the
States will be restored, and that my
comrades of the lost cause did not die
in vain; but our triumph in November
will secure the victory for which they
fought" He also said that Horace
Greeley's letter of acceptance promises
the restoration of our gallant Southern
leader, Gen. John c. Breckenridge, and
other chivalric sons of the South, to
their former positions Of po'rer and
influence IN tie Nation"
These are the real hopes aud expect
ations of the Southern Greeley men.-
If Greeley is elected, these hopes and

time continues for the Southeren ex.
rebels will hold the balance of power in
Congress, and will, therefore, rule the
Democratic party and the Democratic
administration, as of old. Without
their consent, Democratic Congress
cannot pass so much as an appropria.
tion bill to pay its members, nor any
other measure, nor confirm a single
Democratic appointment to Office; and
the consent of the South will have to
be purchased upon such conditions as
the South chooses to impose. The elec.
tion of Greeley, therefore, will really
and truly mean the restoration of Brek.
enridge, JEFF. Davis, Alex. H. Stevens,
Foote, Semmes, johnson, and ali that
crowd of traitors who still survive, to
their former positions Of power and in
fluence in the tion"-namely, to their
former places in the United States Sen
ate and House, in the United States
Army and Navy, and to other Offices of
honor and power.
