LETTER From JEFFERSON.

|
county opposed the appropriation OF twenty
thousand dollars to each of the Normal schools,
but our opposition was not sufficient TO deleut
It. We think that the senate may yet reduce it.
The editor OF the Journal. Democrat for one
oil his strtkcrs). has seen proper 10 give the
writer quite I'm editorial castigaIion in his
paper. He accuses Us OF opposing all schools.
This, to us. is only provocative OF laughter.
A bill has been introduced into the house by |
Mr.. Harmon, OF johnson county, asking Ior
t~hirty-ave thousand dollars TO put up buildings
in Wsrrensburg Tor school purposes. A iavorlte
way to get au appropriation is for some one
who favors 1t to attempt the odtssna potiti-
cum by accusing the opposels OF being reform
ers and retrenchers. Some of US do not much
object to the epithets. This weapon Of warfare
sometimes cuts two ways. 81 . =
We had expected that before this time the bill
passed by the house, changing the time Of as
sessment from August to June. would have be-
come a law. but from some cause after it was
sent to the senate it was committed to the COM
mittee on ways and means In that body and
there it has slept until now. understand the
chairman says that they are trying to give US a
revised revenue law. and that this Is " hy they
do net report the bill. Senator Bradley, OF Bates
county. tried to smoke the bill out of the hands
of the ommitte one day the past week. but did
not succeed. 1 cannot now form any enlightened
opinion as to the tate Of said bill; but still think
that the senate must have enough men whose
sense Of Justice is sufficiently strong to pass the
bill. Senator Edwurds will do all that he can
In this direction. and saying this Ii saying
