STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
HeeiiDgEOf shs Trustees of the Nash
vile UBfEeFsIfy-Hhst DIR. Sears
Proposes.

Nashville Banner, of Sunday: ga very
important meeting Of the trustees of the
Nashville university was held at four
O'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t was. at
tended by DR.. B. Sears, agent of the
Peabody fund, who proposed, if the uni
VeTsity was accepted by the State board
OF education as q State normal institu-
ton, and devoted the income of the uni
Versity to its sustsnancC, he would gu&F-
aatss elk thousand dollars per annum
for the next two years in aid of the new
enterprise. He adduced strong, con-
vinciGg and conclusive arguments as to
why q State normal school should be
established in connection with our pub
lie schools, which are 80 rapidly pro-
crossing throughout Tennessee. With 8
normal school he said the excellent
State system would be perfected and the
schools experience a more rapid growth.
Iennesseans would become the teach
ers OF Iennesseans, and teaching would
be made profession, which it was, and
deserving OF the most exalted consider
alton. AS the schools increased the de-
mand for teachers would grow in pro-
portion and the system be more greatly
pOpuiaTized through efficient instructors.
The committee heretofore appointed
were Instructed 10 make proposition to
the State board OF education, which we
cannot but think Will be accepted. The
university and grounds represent one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and
it hrs an income, We believe, Of six
thousand dollars per annum from an
investment Of one hundred thousand
dollars. The university has q decided
advantage over any other institution in
the way Of buildings already erected.
The barracks building would make a
splendid dormitOry, and the university
building would suit for the school proper.
It Is thought when the State normal
school gets under full headWsy there
will he an attendance Of from three to
five hundred students. As Nashville is
now pre-eminently the Athens of the
south, there is every reason why the
State normal school should not be located
here and especially with the advantages
offered.

CUSTER's EXPEDITION.
what is Soon 10 BE Done In the Black
Hills COu1lFy-Ehe Government
Looking tO the Opening OF
she Region 10 settle


New York sun.
The general, who is organizing an
other expedition to the Black Hills, will
stay i'll New York only two or three
days longer No one but the accredited
officers aud agents of the government
can be permitted to accompany the
troops, and the general does not himself
know who are to be the scientific and civil
members OF the party. They are to join
him in Washington. The object of the
expedition is to examine and develop
the resources of the Black Hills region
thoroughly, especially its mineral re-
sources, with 8 view to determining the
advisaUility Of removing the Indians
and opening the country to settlement
by the whites, The Indians are willing
enough to dispose Of their claim, the
general thinks, because they know the
difficulty they will have in keeping the
white gOld-seekers cut. The govern.
ment agents are getting together the
chiefs, intending TO take them to WASH
ingtOn, and the general has no doubt
that these Indians will gladly negotiate
with the government. The Indians
make little use Of the country, although
it is full Of game. They are deferred by
superstition from living in it, imagin.
ing 1t to be haunted by evil spir-
its. The Black Hills country is
described by General Custer as
broken, wild and picturesque. Cliffs
and canOns alternate, and the green and
fertile valleys are inteEsected by numer-
Gus streams Of pure water. The forest
growth is in parts very dense. Wagon
roads had to be cut, or as the general ex-
pressed it, moved out" for miles by
the aXmen. The Indian guides told
him before he started on the last expedi-
ton that he could not possibly get
through the country with wagons; and
he started with the intention of going as
far with the wagons as possible, and
then taking to horseback. He was,
however, able to retain his wagons ali
the time. Besides having to "mOw outu
the roads through the dense timber at
certain points the general had to let his
wagons down the face Of the cliffs with
ropes, two hundred men holding To a
rope. AS to gold, the general could
make no thorough examination on ac-
count Of the limited time to which ne
was held by his orders. The govern
ment strictly fOTbids the encroachment
by whites upon the reservation until the
Indians give it up, and it will be mad
ness for any person to undertake tbs
toll and haZsId Ol settling in this wild
region until the officers and scientists
to whom this expedition is intrusted re-
Fott upon Inc Resources and general fea-
lures Of the country.

MHwAUKEE, May Il The work Of
seizing liquor establishments has pro-
gressed quietly but vigorously to-day
under the charge of Captain Brooks and
his force, Supervisor Hedericks and the
local revenue officers. The following
distilleries which were seized yesterday Y
were to-day turned over to the custody
Of United States marshal: The Kin
nIckiOuick distiliery, Charles Grunther
prOprie.OF; the MlnOmel Robert Krei-
vert proprietor; Louis Rindskopp's and
Thomas O'NeiiPs. The following addi-
uOnai seizures were made: The rectIfy-
ing houses Of Christian Salatine and
Philip Wiener, the Milwaukee redistil-
ling and Tectifying company, and the
1lstilleTjes OF r. BeTgenthsll and Chas.
Gran. Appraisers were sent to the five
dIstlIleries seized yesterday TO report
the value OF each to the United StateA
district attorney this afternoon. ThOs.
O'Neill has applied to the United States
district court, Judge DrummOnd presid-
ing, asking that appraisal Of his
distilieTy be made, and that he
be permitted to give bonds and
resume operations. The petition was
granted. In the course Of his remarks
Judge DrummOnd characterized the
law under which the seizure was made
as a severe one and which ought to be
carefully executed. Further apDlica-
tions will be made Tomorrow. The
revenue officers express some dispIeasure
at the success Of these proceedings; five
stOrekeepers have been suspended to-
day and it is expected that other rev.
enue officers of the district will suffer
the same fate tomorrow. Collector

withal a defiant and hostile attitude,
| which puts out Of the question, for the
present at least, all prospects q cOmprO-
mise or reconciliation. Repeated over
lures have been made TO the southern
church, but they had been received
without favor, II not cOntempsuOusly;
and the last committee on union sp-
pointed by the northern church has ad
vised the abandonment of efforts in this
direction until some decided encourage
ment is afforded by the southern church.
Notwithstanding this unfortunate fall
ure, or, perhaps, because a different
result was anticipated, the example of
the old and new schools at the north
has proved infectious; and the idea
Of q general Presbyterian union, or
Pan-Presbyterisn council, has
been for several years present to the lead
ing minds Of the American and British
churches. Accordingly, a conference OF
the committees from all the Presbyterian
denominations has been called to meet
In London on July 2lst Of this year.
The British churches have responded,
and have drawn up a sort Of protocol,
which provides, among other matters Of
detail, for a Pan-Presh yteTiau council,
to be held once in three years, the first
one in 1S76-plsce of meeting TO be de-
termiDed at the London committee
meeting OF 1875. The plan is grand, but
somewhat better calculated, we imag-
Inc, to Overawe and impress the lay
mind than to affect clerics, or occasion
them any disquietude as to the integrity
and separate existence Of their several
churches. No idea OF organic union
among the Presbyterians Of all beliefs
and all countries has ever been serious
ly entertained. This great council may,
indeed, prove to be the first step in this
direction, but there is no present belief
that it will. The most that is contem-
plated now is a sort OF Ecumenical
church, whose powers shall be OuIy
those Of deliberstive body, and shall
carry only moral weight"

JOHN L. BRECKENRIDGE.
The Great Kentucky Statesman en- HIS
Death-Bed-LstesI Bulletins.

LOUISVILLE, May 12.-An important
surgical operation was performed on
General John e. Breckenridge at his
home in Lexington, Kentucky, yester-
day, by Drs. Gross, OF Philadelphia, and
DR.. Ssyer, OF New York. His chest
was pTenetrsted by tubes inserted be-
tween the ribs, and some relief was
afforded. The physicians are ofopinion
that tue generals liver was injured by a
blow received during the war from q
fragment Of shell, and that his pres
ent sutterings are due entirely to that
cause. His physicians entertain hopes
that the operation will prove of perma-
nent advantage TO the sufferer.
SECOND DISPATCH.
LOUISVILLE, May I2.-The Courier

Breckenridge is sinking rspidlyf and

of General John e. Breckenridge has

OF the generals present critical condi-
