The city government Of Galsna was

city, on Saturday. The government
Of that city has been In legal custody
for several years, though the officers
have been ct large under . sort Of pa
role. The reason for this exfraordina-
~ proceeding, is the failure Of the CITY
to pay Its debts. Galena several wears
ago, was weak enough to subscribe
heavily in aid of railroads, and then q
few years later, was induced by flema.
gogues to repudiate the debt. The nm
paid Interest rapidly accumulated !;
suits We're brought upon the coupons,
and judgment obtained; and In this
way the interest was transferred to an
nteresf-bearing debt, The city still
i'efhsing to pay, and the debt growing
an exodus Of capital and property be-
gan. Since then the amount Of taxable
property has been decreasing in about
the same proportion that the debt In
creased. Finally there came q manda-
mus from the United States Courts,
requiring the city. to levy a tar 70 pay
the judgments. The city for long
time equivocated, and then refused,
and the persons comprising the City
Government were arrested for con-
tempt How often this arrest has been
repeated, we dc not know, but the last
time the MaYof m Council vera,

on the taxable properly chen fl the
city i to pay its debts would amount
SO nearly to confscation of the
whole that it could not be DONE
The parties were released under q
promise, expressed or implied, to obey
the order ofthe Court, but their present
arrest indicates that no Tax Collector
can be- found who win perform the
duty. As soou as he is required to col
lect this tax, he resigns the Office. The
city has now no Tax Collector. In the
mean time, Galcna is overshadowe If
not palsied, with debt, and that debt is
constantly growing. '.s..f

The Burlington 4aSettc understands
that the Democratic and Liberal Re-
publican State committee have agreed
on a call for joint Convention to be
held at Des Moines, July 18th. The
formal notice will not be issued until
after the Baltimore Convention.
Then we understand by this that the
Liberal Republicans of Iowa are
going to jump into the arms of the
Clay Dean aud Mason Democracy at
one bound. This Is just what we have
said al the time, that there is no road
out Of the Republican party. but that
leads to the enemies. camp. There
is no half way house to stop at.

A Lie Routed.
TERRE HAUrE. !;

As an act Of justice to Mr.. voorhees,.
his friends request the publication Of
the following which will appear In the
Terre Haute Journal Tomorrow morn
ing:
i q, a MEAN LIE.
One Of the meanest lies yet started
by the crazy Greeleyites was a tele-
graphic dispatch, which thew caused to
be sent al over the country from In-.
dianoplis, last Wednesday, stating that
Hon. ID. w. Voorhees, was defeated as a
delegate to the Baltimore Convention
by his district. That report was ut
terly and cruelty false. When Mr..
Voorhees, reached Indianapolis on Tees
day evening, he was Immediately
called upon BY his friends from every
county in the Sixth Congress, onal
District, aud was urged to 60 as del
egate 70 the baltimore Convention
from the district. Mr.. Voorhees,
promptly and imperativeiy declined
the use Of mis- name IN that connection
and of these facts there is abundant
proof to show that the district did not
mean to repudiate his course. He was
the next morning unanimously agreed
upon by the district as q delegate from
the State at large. This was done
without tbs knowledge or consent. 81
Mr.. oorhees,and as We understand for
the purpose of preventing the action
of the district on the evening before
from being misunderstood or misrep.
resented as 1t has been. AS to Mr..

know he can have tho rono fnr 49,. |

EDITOR COURIER :-Wc are pleased
to observe in your issue of Jsne 18th
notice of q contemplated Normal
school to be taught in this county. The
majority Of teachers need more pre-.
paration for their duties than they
can possibly receive in our common
schools. A knowledge of textbooks
does not constitute q teacher. Teach
ing il an art, and successful teaching
can only be accomplished by long
practice, ora thorough training for
the work. There are many hours en-
gagged in this most important Of mis-
sions with less knowledge Of its re-
quirements than can be found among
the trades and other professions. Ne
chanics and professional mon spend
years in fitting themselves for the bust
ness Of their lives, while too often,
boys and girls fresh from district
school, where they may have made a
considerable degrees Of proficiency in
their studies, impelled by their incli-
nations or necessities, attempt to teach
Others, and make miserable failures
for want Of previous training III the
best methods Of ilnpsrting instruction,
and the srt Of school government.
There are Others too, who have a
"natural talent for teaching, but do
not entirely succeed, because Of lack
of sufficient knowledge of the branch
cs to be taught. The Normal school
comes to the relief Of both these elias.
SEES, but is moro especially directed to
the first; and il is important, that all |
teachers who desire to acquire great
excellence in their work, should avail
themselves Of all opportunities for inn
prOvcment. e.
