State Normal School.

We are indebted to Mr.. Hemenway
member of the House from Black
hawk copy, for copy of his bill etc

ers of common schools" at Cedar
Falls, in the buildings now occupied
by the Soldiers Orphans Home. The
bill provides for the management
and control of the school by Board
of five Directors, of which the Super.
intendent of Public Instruction shall
be a member, ec c6fc,o. OF the re-
naming members, one shall be elect.
ed by the Senate, and one by the
House of this General Assembly:
the remaining two members to be
selected from persons practically en-
gagged in teaching in the public
schools or acting as County Superin-
tendents, and appointed by the Cover
nor. No member of the Board shall
be teacher in the school, neither re-
celve any compensation, except en-
penses, and their terms of office shall
expire July lst, 1878. The powers
and duties of the Board and its officers
are fully defined in the bill, which
also provides that the Orphans Home
at Cedar Falls shall be vacated on or
before the first day of July next, by
the removal of its inmates to the
Home at Davenport, the Normal
School to open for pupils by Sept.
LIST, 1876.
TO carry out the purposes of the
bill, including repairs and improve
ments, library and apparatus, contin-
gent expenses and salaries of teach
ers and employees, until July, 1878,
an appropriation of $4,000 is asked
for.
The question of the establishment
of Normal Schools for the training
and education of teachers for the
public schools is one of paramount
Importance, and has hitherto, at each
recurring session of the Legislature,
received due share of consideration
and discussion. 1t seems to us that
the consolidation of the Home at
Cedar Fall with that at Davenport
which is perfectly practlcable-pre-
sents an opportunity and the con-
veniences for establishing a first-class
Normal School at Cedar Falls, which
deserves attention by the Legislature.
We certainly cannot see why the
project embraced in Mr.. Hemenway's
bill is not very proper and worthy

Grimes and COnkling.

1.-THE Republican party had stopped
at any time within the past ten years
to guide its policy by Mr.. Conkling's
person9l dislikes and quarrels, the
difficulties would have been quite APP
palling, for the number Of prominent
Republicans with which MIR. Conk-
ling has quarreled is quite large. The
late Senator Grimes, of Iowa, as is
we'll known here, was, while in office,
IN bad odor with the New York Sen
ator, who refused to speak to him.
Mr.. Conkling also quarreled bitterly
with Mr.. Fessenden, and afterward
with Mr.. Sumner, and at later period
with Mr.. Schurz. Last spring he was
so unreasonable as to quarrel with
Mr.. Chandler. 1t is safe to say that
it would be putting a heavy load on
he Republican party to have it as
sumo his personal troubles in its Ma
tional Conventions. - Washington

THOSE who oppose woman's right

THOSE who oppose woman's right
to vote are apt to magnify, or rather
conjurc up dangers as likely to result
therefrom. They see many lions
in the way and, in most cases honest
ly, afflict themselves with vain i'm
aginlngs Of the perils to the State
and to woman herself in consequence
of investing her with the ballot
These misgivings are entirely con-
jectural, and as one ounce of expe-
Hence is worth pound of theory, we
should not fail to avail ourselves of
the former commodity when 1t comes
in our way. Such an opportunity is
found in the testimony recently given
by Judge Klngman. of Wyoming
Territory, before a special committee
of the Massachusetts Legislature, con-
corning the working of woman suf-
frage in that territory, .and copied
from the Woman's Journal else
where in this issue. Jud ge Kingman
is a New Hampshire em1grant to
Wyoming, who has lived there ever
since it's organization. He is of old
Wing antecedents and conservative
temnprament. q gentleman of culture.
and therefore one of the most compe
tent witnesses possible. We com
mend his report to our readers, conf
IDENTIFY anticipating that it will have
tendency to solve serious doubts
concerning the practicability of wo-
mans suffrage in the minds Of many
honest peOple.

IHE st. Paul Pioneer Press, one of
the "independent" newspapers, though
it wrenches its very inwards to do so,
is still compelled to say:
"The Democratic party has not
yet been two months in control of
one branch of the Legislative depart
ment OF the government, but it has
improved the time so well and has
labored with such diligence and with
such perverse ingenuity of political
madness to Justify all the accusations
of its enemies and the distrust and
apprehension of the country, that it
has left but too little for the Repub-
licans to do to perpetuate their con-
troll OF the government for another
four years at least"

The Democratic State Committee of
Indiana met Wednesday in Indianapolis at
the request of tho Democratic Electors, to
consider the political emergency. A mum
Der of prominent politicians were present,
including Governor Hendricks, the other
State officials, and representative from
each Congressional District Ex-Con-
gresham Julian, who was one of the dele
gates that visited Louisiana, expressed the
opinion that the election there was as quiet
and peaeeable as in Indiana, and that Tilden
carried it by an overwhelming majority
He hoped the Democracy would have
pluck enough to stand up for their rights
and meet the crisis now, He was satisfied
there would be no war. Reports were
made from all the Congressional Districts,
showing that the democrats everywhere
were satisfied that Tilden had been legally
elected, and demanded his Inauguration.
A resolution was adopted for the holding
of convention of people regardless of
past public opinions" in each county on

The outlook in Mexico is gloomy. The
army has decided the fate Of the Govern
ment, and overthrow the Constitution.
These disorders date from the time when
President Lerdo began to seek reelection
Misgivings like those which stimulated
our Liberal movement in 1872 were felt
by the Presidents opponents, who ac-
cordingly began to devise his overthrow.
Foreseeing that the election would 20
against them, they abstained from voting
in some districts, while in others they held
that lawlessness rendered the voting in
valid. Lerdo had, of course, large ma
jority of the electoral votes The House
of Representatives disregardcd the MUIR
murs of the opposition, declared the cleo.
ton valid, and invested the President with
extraordinary powers. These proceedings
excited the anger of Chief-J ustice lyle
sias, who claims to be provisional presi-
dent, on the ground that Lerdo' Is term had
expired and no valid election had been
held. Mr.. Iglesias fed from the capital,
and at last accounts had been trading with
Diaz for share in the spoils of Office.
Diaz's revolt began when he landed in
Northern Mexico and acquired possession
of Matamoros. Some months later he ap-
peared in Oaxaca, where he continued
until the recent battle at Huamantla
opened to him the gates of Mexico.
Gen. Diaz is almost pure Indian. He
served faithfully the Republic during the
war against Macmillan, and in 1871 was
an unsuccessful candidate for the Presi-
dency. The Lerdo party deem him ignor-
ant, ambitious, and untitled for the high
Office he has assumed. The lavless man
ner in which he has attained power gives
reason for their assumptions.--N. Y.
Tribune. "A
The Mexican insurgents ..are carrying
everything before them. The latest dis,

The Latest from the South.

The Baltimore Sun of yesterday says.-
As anticipated the Democratic Legislature at
Columbia yesterday formally declared Gen,
Wade Hampton the fairly and legally elected
Governor of South Carolina. The Inaugural.
ton followed in front Of Carolina Hall, and
in the presence of an immense assemblage.
General Hampton delivered an inaugural ad.
dress, in which he stated plainly and eloquent.
ly the position Of the State under the rule Of
usurpers, sustained by the federal government.
The Republican House adopted resolution
yesterday declaring the election ofall the pres.
emit circuit judges in South Carolina void,
being the first step towards breaking down
proper legal resort from the onerous system
Of taxation now being prepared.
The congressional committee at Tallahas.
sec, Fla, yesterday made discovery Of sew.
enty-twotiekets constructed on the ''puddin'i
plan, and inserted with other tickets in a

found separate registration list Of seventy
two names, alleged to be fictitious. The Re.
publicans promise to rise and explain to.day.
The congressional committee at New or.
leans took the evidence Of one Of the super.
yisors of election Of East Baton Rouge. He

gentleman, he attracts friends without court

Pennsylvania, who, we are sorry to see, has
not been returned to the next House, al
though he made gallant fight against over
whelming odds, running several hundred

business man, a courteous gentleman, and pos
sesses precisely the mental quality and expe-
