THE BUREAU OF EDUcATIoN A very
interesting debate took place in the
House when the annual appropriation for
the Educational Bureau came up for ac-
ton. The bureau was originally organ
lied upon so limited scale that the sal
aries and expenditures were virtually
wasted. From year to year, as the use
fulness of the bureau became better I'M
derstood, and its operations extended, adj
ditional appropriations were needed.
We believe the present bill allows the
pitiful sum of thirty thousand dollars, and
that the Committee on Appropriations
refuses to report an addition of seven
thousand dollars, which was asked by the
Commissioner The House, by very
close vote, concurrcd with the Commit
tee, but it is hoped that the Senate will
SO amend the bill that the Commissioner
may obtain the very small amount or in
crease which the necessities Of The bureau
require 1t is true tho bureau at pres
ent has no supervisory powers, but the
political status in the South is such that
it becomes measure Of vital necessity
to Rcpublicanism in that section of the
country to establish a thorough and COM
plete system of common-school education.

TIE IMMIGRATION BILL BEFORE THE
HoUsE.-Hon. o. ID. Conger, Of Michi-
gan, succeeded, after many earnest efforts
in having his bill, for the better protcc-
ton Of immigrants within the United
States, set down for hearing, Messrs.
Conger Fingleberge, Coburn, and She'll
abarger made earnest and eloquent efforts
in its behalf, but the united Democratic
opposition, aided by the renegade Rcpub-
licans and few others, succeeded in hav-
ing the bill referred to the Committee Of
the whole, which is virtual postpone
pent for the present session. There are
few measures that appeal more strongly to
the sense Of justice Of our legislators and
we have no doubt but that at the next
session, where the Republicans will have
a two-third majority, satisfactory bill
will be passed.

is what the Green Mountain Freeman
Hon. G. w. Wizards paper has to say
of two of the Credit Mobilier waits:
For Mr.. Patterson there is ard ought
to be no escape from the swiltest public
condemnation. If the Senate choose to
allow him to remain longer member of
that body, that is in part, their affair ;
although that body may as well under
stand that the public will judge all OF
them somewhat by the company they
choose to keep. The people, however,
cannot find any excuse or apology for an
official who is corrupt and untruthiul, and
they ought to find none
As to Mr.. Colfax the final judgment
must be the same. unless he is able now
now to prove his innocence Of the grav-
est charge against him, and in any event,
his untruthfulness as to some now admit.

hope to be restored to his old place in the

CABINET RUMoRs-In the absence of
more important news, the correspondents
Of New York papers sent out their usual
batch Of rumors of Cabinet changes, but
it is evident that no change is contemplate
ed before the 4th Of March in any event.
AT the expiration Of the first presidential
term, the entire Cabinet will in accord
ance with custom, tender their resigna-
tons but it is not expected that the
Cabinet will be greatly modified. Should
Secretary Boutwell, be elected to the Sem
ate, there would be vacancy, which it
is generally supposed will be filed by
Hon. William a. Richardson, the present
First Assistant Secretary.
We alludc to these rumors Of Cabinet
changes, which every few weeks are man
ufactured, for the sole purpose Of caution
ing our readers not to pay to them the
slightest attention. 1t is not likely, in
the nature of things, that either the Pres
ident, or those members of the Cabinet
who propose to retire, will take the press
into their confidence before the event ac-
tually transpi-es.

Mr.. llooPER's BILL FOR THE REsuMp.
TIoN OF SPECIE PAyMENT.-Mr. Hooper,
of Massachusetts, has introduced a bill
making greenbrcks convertible Into bon
DIS, or certificates bearing 3.G5.l00 per
nt,intcrest per annum. Ia our opinion,
1T is Objectionable to multiply the kinds
of national indebtedness now upon the
market and if conversion is contemplate
ed, We hope the holders Of that currency
will have the privilege Of converting it
into five per cent, bonds. II the holders
Of grccnbacks could CONVEX, them into
bonds. and rc-couvert the bonds into
greenbacks at option, the money market
would regulate itself, and the value of
the grcenback would be that Of the five
per cent. bonds, which, at present is
about par Thus currency cquol to par
in gold ,with the necessary expansive and
contractive power, could be established
without any other charge to the Treasury
except that for the interest on the few
milionr Of dollars that would be temper
arily capitalized when grecnbacks were

Collision ON THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
RAILRoAD.-Uko, Nerada, FEB. ia
collision occurred on the Central Pacific
railroad, at $50 last night thirteen miles
east Of here, between the eastward bound
passenger train, that left San Francisco
the morning of the llth, and western
bound freight train. The scene of the
accident is in short curve where the road
runs through canon on the Humboldt
river. the grade being about twenty feet
above the water, The passenger train
was on time and proceeding slowly around
the curve, when the engineer saw the
freight train coming at furious speed
When the engineers first noticed each
other, the trains were not four hundred
feet apart. The engineer of the passenger
train reversed his engine and jumped in
to The river, followed by the fireman, Just
in time to save themselves. The air
brake worked like a charm, having near
ly stopped the passenger train before the
engines struck and preventing the cars
telescoping. Meanwhile the engineer OF
Of the freight train had whisted down
brakes and reversed his engine, but it was
too late. The engines leaped into the
air and fell on one side of the track a
mass of ruins. The mail car of the pas
sanger train had the front end stove in,
and the coal car Of the freight train piled
on top Of it. The tender Of the pas.
sengcr train was also prccipitated down
the bank into the river. The freight
train had six cars more or less smashed.
No lives were lost. Three train hands
were badly injured, one of whom, it is
believed, fatally, and some OF the passen.
geas were slightly bruised. The collis-
ion is attributed to the train dispatcher
at Corlin who, it is reported, gave the
freight train orders to run on the time OF
the passenger train, without giving the
passenger train orders to wait.
