THE JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1879. The -- Needham Savings Bank at BoFton will close. The National Marine Bank at Oswego will close. The First National Bank of Granville Ohio has suspeuded. Gejt. Gbant and party arrived at Alexandria, Egypt, on the 30th. The secretary of the treasury has called for the redemption of an oth- er 120,000,000 of 5-2- 0 honds. Senators elected on the 31st, Iu-gnl- le from Kaneae, and F. Jones, Democratic, from Louisiana. The news from Dubliu reports the burning on the 28th of the Sit. Zion convent, at "Waterfoid, by an in- cendiary. The House of Representatives in "Washington has passed a bill to re- strict immigration of the Chiueeo into the United Stites. S. P. Moblet, of the Platte Valley Independent, has recently been ap- pointed Postal Cierk in the United States railway mail service. Fohty thousand dollars has been appropriated by the house of con- gress for the establishment of a Military post at EI Paso, Texas. Later dispatches from Paris an- nounce the election of M. Grcvy, President of the Chamber of Deputies, as MacMahon's successor. Germany, in order to prevent the introduction of the plague, has made the Mime prohibition on importations as Austria, besides manufacturers of felt. The house committee on coinage in "Washington it is stated will re- port favorably on the bill for the rccoinage and redemption of trade dollars. News from London .under dale of the 28th says thnt seven thousand miners are idle in Durham county. The distress is uuequaled since the great strike in 1S44. "We learn from the Omaha Repub- lican that Mary A. Miser died "Wednesday night 20ih ult., of typhoid pneumonia, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. J. II. Lacey. Senator Christiancy was nomi- nated by the president on the 29th 86 minister to Peru. His nomina- tion was unanimously confirmed, and without the usual reference. Senator Paddock, from the pub- lic lands committee, reported favor- ably on the bill to extend the time of pre-em- pt ors on public lauds. The report was placed on the calendar. The remains of Bayard Taylor arc expected to arrive in New York soon, and when they do will be in state in tho governor's room iu the city hall, until removed to Pennsyl- vania. It is 6tatcd in a dir patch from Paris under date of the 29th that President McMahon has tendered his resignation. No action reported on his resignation by the chambers to elect a President. A colored mau by the name of J. D. McLeod was recently appoint- ed store-keep- er at Covington, Ken- tucky, being the first of his race who ever received an appointment of tho kind in that state. Senator Saunders reports a dis- agreement in the committee on the transfer of the Indian bureau, and presented a section of a new bill transfering certain tribes to the co- ntrol of the "War Department. It is stated that the excess of our exports over imports for December, 1878, were ?33,12S,000; for the year 1878, $304,542,000. That is, if true, a splendid showing, and, if contin- ued, one the country will soon feel beneficially. M. A. McConnell, formerly of Cadiz, Ohio, is now publisher of the Charleston (111.) Plaindealer. Mr. McConnell has heretofore been suc- cessful in other departments of busi- ness and doubtless will be so in his new-enterpris- It is claimed that certain parties have made a mistake in the amount of the note cancelled by the Lancas- ter county bank iu consideration of the deposit of state funds by the late treasurer McBride, being $i,93J, 99 iustead of U9,03199. "Wild Hoq," the Cheyenne chief, now imprisoned at Ft. Robinson, rather than go south attempted su- icide, by stabbing himself iu four places in the region of the heart. The surgeon pronounces the wounds very dangerous, if not fatal. It is stated by authority that after the 1st of April next there will be a reduction of 10 per cent, in allow- ances to post-otfic- es of the first and second classes for rout, fuel and light, in order to keep the expenses under this item within the appro- priation. The Iloiu silver mine located at Frisco, Utah, it is claimed has ore in fight which in value will amount to fully $15,000,000. This mine has at- tracted unusual attention the past year. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, has put chased one-ha- lf of this mine at the sum o f $2,500,000. TVm. T. Pei.ton, the nephew of SamU J, Tilden, the New York World says, is the true author of the cypher dispatches, and will be made the scapegoat of Tilden and the Democrats in the cypher dis- patch business, and such will be the line of defence before the wbieh gens to New York, Richard H. Dana, died suddenly last Sunday, Feb. 2d, at Boston, aged 91 years. TnE opinion prevails in official cir- cles at Washington that we are on the eve of auother Indian war. A fearful tornado visited Quka, Mississipi, on the 30th. The storm came from the southwest. One colored woman and five children were killed outright; two of the latter were found a quarter of a mile from home. Four houses and one church blown down. On the 30th the entire wall, kettle, goose worm, supports, alcohol column, copper slill and cold-wat- er tubs of the Nebraska City alcohol woiks fell with a terrible crash, aud are a total wreck. The damage is estimated at $S,000j and will cause a delay, in running them, of at least a month. McBride's attorney submitted a statement to the investigating com- mittee showing the amount ol'inter-es- t received on deposits, and total losses by reason of deposits, which shows up the account thus 7,210 total interest received, aud $19,230 total losses of state funds ou account of deposits. TjiEalni6liouse, situated five miles south of the city of Louisville was entirely destroyed by fire on the 31st, the origin of the fire uuknown. There were three hundred and forty-seve- n persons in the building, nearly all of whom escaped. The building was erected by the city of Louisville at a cost of $175,000. Fnom recent experiments made by Prof. Sillimau it is placed beyond doubt that corn-stal- ks cannot only be utilized for sugar making pur- poses, but that they can be made to yield results that will pay. Out of a ton thirty-nin- e pounds of sugar aud nearly tweuty pounds of molasses have bee.u extracted in experiments thus far conducted.. Justice Bradley in the Supreme Court at Washington decided on the 2Slh, that the Union Pacific railroad was completed Nov. Gth 1SC9. The company can not deduct interest paid ou the bonds in making up the net earnings, but may deduct inter- est paid on the first mortgage bonds from the first earnings before pay- ing government five per cent, on net earnings. Gen. Sherman aud party arrived at Atlanta, Ga., ou the 29th, it being his first visit to the city since the war. Several thousand people were at the depot. There were neither cheers nor signs of disapprobation. The vast number of people present seemed to occupy neutral grouud, and it would appear were brought together by curiosity to see the hero who marched his army from Atlanta to the sea through an enemy's couutrv. We learn from the Sidney I'lain-deal- er that arrangements were com- pleted last week, between the larg- est stock owners of Cheyenne, Keith and Lincoln counties, and about one hundred volunteers left early last week and will organize north of the North Platte river, and will search the sandhills for stolen horses. The combined force will be under the command of Major Frank North. The Plaindealer hopes to publish the successful recovery of tho sto- len animals. The news comes from Ft. Belknap Montana, under date of the 14th, that Sitting Bull has crossed the border, with 450 lodges of Indians, besides large numbers of Indians from the Britibh tribes. They claim that they are in pursuit of Buffalo, which have traveled south and are not known to be found north of the Missouri river. They all prefer to be friendly, but agents and others who understand the red man's character well, fear that the presence of so many in one vicinity means hostility. It is claimed that the government, in dealing with Sitting Bull, will re- quire him and his people to surren- der as prisoners of war, or else go back again into Canada. The Selection of U. . Senator. We have not as yet sceu any movement made iu the legislature towards submitting the selection of United States Senator to a vote of the people, as may be done under our present constitution. Doubtless, most of the politicians of the Stato will be opposed to such a method of selecting a senator, but it is con-sona- ut with the spirit of a popular government, aud the general assem- bly should give the subject that attention which its importance de-mau- The election of U. S. Sen- ator has cost Nebraska more than any other oue thing. When the time is nigh at hand the political barometer shows signs of the ap- proaching storm. All the way up, from the precinct caucus, through the county and district conventions,' to the legislature and senate, the avenues are watched, and every in- fluence of social aud business life brought to bear upon the final issue. And it is said that the "backers" of candidates have not scrupled to use money for the purchase of votes in the general assembly. It is patent to the world that ail needed legisla- tion lags when there is a Senator to elect; that from the opening of the session everything is traded for Senator, and until the better part of the session is past, scarcely anything else can be thought of. Even now the wires are being laid for the next contest two years hence. The people of the State have passed upon the questiou, and have said by their fundamental law that the leg- islature may provide for the sub- mission of this question, and we insist that there is no better time than now to begin the proposed re- form. Gentlemen of the legislature, do your successors in office a great favor, and the people of the State a substantial benefit by passing a law in accordance with the constitution. "Tax Payer" Kcprlnw to Sing u Sons to the "Jouruat" Audience. Editor Journal: I am an old man, a farmer, unused to newspa- per writing or controversy, and like Paul, desirous of peace, but I have always taken a deep interest in pub- lic matters, and there is a subject that, I think, at least iu some of its bearings, deserves more notice than it receives in the public prints, which, as a rule, are satisfied with recording facts, and echoing what their proprietors suppose to be the public mind. As common-carrier- s of opinions and news they are very excellent, aud I purpose, with your permission Mr. Editor, to give my opinion in the Journal on a matter that concerns everybody. It is well known that we Ameri- cans, as a people, have been plung- ing headlong into debt, aud that nearly every town, county and State is "up to the eyes" in over-du- e warrants, in ten, tweuty, aud thirty- - year bonds, in certificates of in- debtedness, etc. Indeed this pile is so high in places that it threatens the very life of the community, and is an encouragement to dishonesty; aud tax-ridd- en people are begin- ning to question whether the flood of repudiation which would sweep these obligations into oblivion is not preferable to the torch of con- fiscation, which is carried farther every year, and which threatens to destroy our institutions themsolves in its insatiable flame. Look at our county indebtedness (some $S0,000 isn't it?) and what have we to show for it? A little Court House, a bridge across the Platte, another over the Loup (both of which ought to have been built by the State) and a few little bridges through the county a slim array for $S0,000 of debt, bearing interest probably at ten per cent., or $S,000 a year. Where is the value receiv- ed? Your village of Columbus, I beg pardon, it is called a city, how much indebtedness have you? and what is there in public sight for it all, except a fire apparatus and a a town-ha- ll that must be an eye-sor- e to every tax-paye- r? And how is it with the State? It seems that there has been a consid- erable balauce iu the trensury not- withstanding the fact that, if the Omaha Herald is correct iu its fig- ures, it takes upwards of $900,000 a year to ruu our State government, while that of New York costs but $1,100,000. Why such a balance in the treasury, and still continue to levy heavy State taxes? The late developments, going to show that the State treasurer and others have been speculating on the funds in his care is sullicient reason. Somebody is interested in making a large levy, and having a good deal of money on hands. Wouldn't it be a pretty good thing for you, Mr. Editor, and for me, if we could borrow money at three or four cent., and loan it again at 12 to 30 percent.? I am glad to see that the Columbus bank-i- s not in that list of Stale robbers. Does any one suppose that the law will be rigorously enforced upon them, and upon the county treasur- ers and school-distri- ct treasurers who have been guilty of the same crime? The precedents arc mostly the other way. The prevalent opin- ion has been all along that the public is a goose in more respects than one, but tax-thiev- es will not always rest so easy iu their little feather beds, thus acquired. The "public" is a very singular creature ; when peace- able it may be likened to the gentle fowl which allows the good wife to pluck its downy coat, but when maddened it is the ungovernable tiger, fierce, merciless, unreason- ing. I see that I have exceeded the limit I had set for myself, but this may serve as a prelude to the sub- ject I wish to write about, viz: The duties of government; the obliga- tions of citizens; the right and limit of taxation, &c. Yours, Tax Payer. Legislative Itasincss. In committee of the whole the capitol bill was discussed, and it was finally recommended that the bill pass with the tax reduced from oue mill to three-fourt- hs of a mill. The friends of the bill consider it safe. Mr. Sparks has introduced a bill providing for the pcrmaneut loca- tion of the capilal of Nebraska. This bill proposes to give the people a chance to vote ou the question of relocating the capital. Mr. Dempster introduced a bill to establish a slate reform school at Kearney. Mr. Windham introduced a reso- lution to appoint a special commit- tee of five to consider the propriety of enacting a military law for the state of Nebraska. The capitol appropriation bill again discussed in committee of the whole on the 28th; several amend- ments were proposed, and tho mem- bers took occasion to express their views upon the amendments as well as the merits of the bill. On to insert $75,000 instead of $65,000, Mr. Slocum spoke in op- position to the amendment, and in fact was in favor of the $100,000. Mr. Kennedy thought we were not yet ready for the erection of a new capitol, and he felt that he must record his vote again6t the bill as it now stands. Mr. Graybill was opposed to the amendment offered, aud to the en- tire bill. Mr. Scott was not in favor of so large a sum as $100,000, nor yet did he favor no appropriation. He be- lieved the capitol should remain where it was. Mr. Ryan of Platte, said ho was unalterably opposed to the bill. lie had observed tho mysterious work- ings of Lincoln's powerful lobby. All sorts of trades were being made. There were normal school appro- priations, reform school appropria- tions and all kinds of appropriations. If the legislature passes this capilal appropriation it opens the way to the expenditure of $100,000. Gen- tlemen should remember that they were sent here to vole conscien- tiously and not to swap for this and that, at the expense of lax-payer- s. Mr. Baker read a long speech from manuscript, opposiug the bill. Mr. Frederick opposed the bill. On a motion to indefinitely post- pone tho bill, we were sorry to find the name of Mr. Loveland in the negative, but his vote has been fully explained and his true position is fully tested by recording his vote against the bill on its final passage. Mr. Van Wyck in the senate by resolution asked for a bill for a more equitable and just assessment of taxes, and to prevent treasurers from loaning public funds. Mr. Ciarkson, a resolution for a bill making grave robbing a peni- tentiary offence. Mr. Van Wyck introduced a bill regulating transportation of passen- gers by railroad. Tho capitol appropriation bill passed the house on the 30th by a vote of 43 to 30. On the same day the temperance bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. The bill creating the county of Nance has passed both houses. The prohibitory liquor bill under- went several amendments and a lengthy discussion iu committee of the whole on the 30th. Finally a motion was made by Mr. Vander-- m an that the committee rise and report the bill back to the house with the recommendation that it pass, on which motion the vole stood as follows : Yeas 44, nays 3G. Mr. Loveland and Rjan voting nay. Mr. Stone introduced a bill to protect depositors in banks. Mr. Sparks introduced a resolu- tion for a special committee of five to be appointed by the chair to in- quire into the sale of lands donated to tho state for capitol purposes, how much of the same has been sold, how the proceeds have been applied, how much remains unsold aud the value of it. Resolution carried. Lincoln Correspondence. January 2Sth, 1879. Editor Journal: A resolution has been offered in the llouse,which will interest many of our people; wiil be the cause of investigating a matter which is interesting the peo- ple more at this time than any other subject before this body. Iicsolvcd, That a Select Committee of live members be appointed to inquire into the facis with reference to the Ireight aud passenger tariff charged by the different railroad campanics within this State, and report the facts found to the House, at the earliest date possible, aud to report whether iu their opinion the freight and passenger tariffs on ei- ther of them so charged, are un- reasonable compared with the finan- cial condition ot the people, and if unreasonable tariffs are charged, to report whether the same can be regulated by law, so as to practic- ally benefit the people having a just regard to all the interests of the State. The motion to adopt was agreed to, and the Speaker appoint- ed as such committee, Messrs. Scott, Loveland, Trowbridge, Dempster, and Browulee. This matter is being fully investi- gated by the committee, and up to the present lime the prospect is not "flattering'' for legislation. Scott and Loveland take a stand in favor of legislation, while the remainder arc against. The grounds for their taking this stand against legislation are, First, there is u prospect of there beiug more roads built in the State within the next two years than ever before in the same length of time, therefore any legislation in regard to reducing rates would de- ter this movement and the western part of the State be injured thereby. Second, there are but two roads in the State that are paying any divi- dends, and all branch roads are at the present not charging iny more than roads in other States, where they have more business to support them. There is a bill now on gen- eral file establishing passenger rates at three cents a mile, and fixing the freight rates at five cents per ton for first ten miles and three cents per ton thereafter. This will in- crease the rates on the U. P. R. R. fifteen dollars per car between Omaha and Kearney, and about the same between Omaha, Columbus, and Schuyler. The U. P. officials claim they aro giving low rates on coal which is three-fourt- hs cents per ton per mile. The majority of this committee arc personally in- terested in the building of railroads, as they aro at present living off from the line of any road but bavo one in prospect the coming year. Also, a majority of tho House are in about the same position, oven those re- siding on a railroad are looking for competing lines. Thereforo tho mi- nority of this committee have very little chance, even if they offer a minority report. I have seen a number of letters from "Graugers" in the hands of their representatives, instructing them not to support any bill that will create a fight with railroads, for reasons as stated. Jiepresentative Ryan tried very hard to-da- y, while working in the committee of the whole on revision of the statutes, to amend by adding, "and the mayor shall have jurisdic- tion as may be vested in him by ordinance over all territory within one-ha- lf mile of the corporate limits of said city for all purposes except revenue," but was voted down for no other reason only that it was printed aud they did not want to change it. This, you will discover, is for the purpose of shutting out one of the .worst nuisances we have iu Columbus, that is Seuecal's hay- stack, a nuisance which the Council have no power to abate, and which is the worst fire-tra- p in the State. Another object was to protect the city in collecting the amount due for license from circuses. Ono of the amusing features of the legislature is the 3d House, who meet about once a week in the cap- itol building. The meeting is pre sided over by a Squatter Governor, Speaker, etc., and opens out with a governor's message which is im mense The capitol appropriation bill was voted on in the House to-da- y and carried, but think it will not pass in the Senate. Yours, Innocence Arroad. Capitol Appropriation Hill. The Omaha Republican takes rather strong ground in favor of the appropriation of $100,000 to build a wing to the capitol. It gives as its reasons for the views that it advanc- es, that the capitol building is un- safe and inadequate aud that the question of capital removal cannot be intelligently acted upon for twen- ty years to come. We readily admit the first propo- sition, and favor an appropriation often or fifteen thousand dollars to put the capitol in repair. The sec- ond proposition is scarcely worthy of consideration. We believe the question of capita removal can be intelligently settled within the next few years, and not only believe that it can be but that it shoxdd be. The people of this state know fully as well to-da- y where the centre of pop- ulation will ultimately be, as they will know in fifteen years from this date. It is a question which will be agitated and must be settled within a few years and the proposed ap- propriation only increases the diffi- culties of the situation and adds to the burdens of the people. Let the present building be so im- proved that it will be sate and ade- quate for the next few years, but let us have no appropriation for build- ing a wing to a, future capitol build-in- y. We feel sure, we express the sentimculs of the people of Central Nebraska when we sav, that under existing conditions the proposed appropriation is unwise and ex- travagant. The above, from the pen of Broth- er McCunc of the Butler County Republican, shows that his head "is level." His reasoning is sound ; but then what do the friends of the measure have to do with sound reasoning? FARM PROPERTY FOR SALE. The X. K N- - Vr i, Sw. 4, T. IT, R. 1 E., P. M., containing S.tl acres.

The Selection of U. . Senator.We have not as yet sceu any

movement made iu the legislaturetowards submitting the selection ofUnited States Senator to a vote ofthe people, as may be done underour present constitution. Doubtless,most of the politicians of the Statowill be opposed to such a methodof selecting a senator, but it is con-sona- ut

with the spirit of a populargovernment, aud the general assem-bly should give the subject thatattention which its importance de-mau-

The election of U. S. Sen-

ator has cost Nebraska more thanany other oue thing. When thetime is nigh at hand the politicalbarometer shows signs of the ap-

proaching storm. All the way up,from the precinct caucus, throughthe county and district conventions,'to the legislature and senate, theavenues are watched, and every in-

fluence of social aud business lifebrought to bear upon the final issue.And it is said that the "backers" ofcandidates have not scrupled to usemoney for the purchase of votes inthe general assembly. It is patentto the world that ail needed legisla-

tion lags when there is a Senator toelect; that from the opening of thesession everything is traded for

Senator, and until the better part ofthe session is past, scarcely anythingelse can be thought of.

Even now the wires are being laidfor the next contest two years hence.The people of the State have passedupon the questiou, and have said bytheir fundamental law that the leg-

islature may provide for the sub-

mission of this question, and weinsist that there is no better timethan now to begin the proposed re-

form. Gentlemen of the legislature,do your successors in office a greatfavor, and the people of the State asubstantial benefit by passing a lawin accordance with the constitution.

"Tax Payer" Kcprlnw to Sing uSons to the "Jouruat"

Audience.Editor Journal: I am an old

man, a farmer, unused to newspa-per writing or controversy, and likePaul, desirous of peace, but I havealways taken a deep interest in pub-

lic matters, and there is a subjectthat, I think, at least iu some of itsbearings, deserves more notice thanit receives in the public prints,which, as a rule, are satisfied withrecording facts, and echoing whattheir proprietors suppose to be thepublic mind. As common-carrier- s

of opinions and news they are veryexcellent, aud I purpose, with yourpermission Mr. Editor, to give myopinion in the Journal on a matterthat concerns everybody.

It is well known that we Ameri-cans, as a people, have been plung-ing headlong into debt, aud thatnearly every town, county and Stateis "up to the eyes" in over-du- e

warrants, in ten, tweuty, aud thirty- -year bonds, in certificates of in-

debtedness, etc. Indeed this pile isso high in places that it threatensthe very life of the community, andis an encouragement to dishonesty;aud tax-ridd- en people are begin-ning to question whether the floodof repudiation which would sweepthese obligations into oblivion isnot preferable to the torch of con-

fiscation, which is carried fartherevery year, and which threatens todestroy our institutions themsolvesin its insatiable flame.

Look at our county indebtedness(some $S0,000 isn't it?) and whathave we to show for it? A littleCourt House, a bridge across thePlatte, another over the Loup (bothof which ought to have been builtby the State) and a few little bridgesthrough the county a slim arrayfor $S0,000 of debt, bearing interestprobably at ten per cent., or $S,000a year. Where is the value receiv-ed? Your village of Columbus, Ibeg pardon, it is called a city, howmuch indebtedness have you? andwhat is there in public sight for itall, except a fire apparatus and aa town-ha- ll that must be an eye-sor- e

to every tax-paye- r?

And how is it with the State? Itseems that there has been a consid-erable balauce iu the trensury not-withstanding the fact that, if theOmaha Herald is correct iu its fig-

ures, it takes upwards of $900,000a year to ruu our State government,while that of New York costs but$1,100,000. Why such a balance inthe treasury, and still continue tolevy heavy State taxes? The latedevelopments, going to show thatthe State treasurer and others havebeen speculating on the funds in hiscare is sullicient reason. Somebodyis interested in making a large levy,and having a good deal of moneyon hands. Wouldn't it be a prettygood thing for you, Mr. Editor, andfor me, if we could borrow moneyat three or four cent., and loan itagain at 12 to 30 percent.? I amglad to see that the Columbus bank-i- s

not in that list of Stale robbers.Does any one suppose that the lawwill be rigorously enforced uponthem, and upon the county treasur-ers and school-distri- ct treasurerswho have been guilty of the samecrime? The precedents arc mostlythe other way. The prevalent opin-

ion has been all along that the publicis a goose in more respects than one,but tax-thiev- es will not always restso easy iu their little feather beds,thus acquired. The "public" is avery singular creature ; when peace-able it may be likened to the gentlefowl which allows the good wife topluck its downy coat, but whenmaddened it is the ungovernabletiger, fierce, merciless, unreason-ing.

I see that I have exceeded thelimit I had set for myself, but thismay serve as a prelude to the sub-

ject I wish to write about, viz: Theduties of government; the obliga-tions of citizens; the right and limitof taxation, &c. Yours,

Tax Payer.

Legislative Itasincss.In committee of the whole the

capitol bill was discussed, and it wasfinally recommended that the billpass with the tax reduced from ouemill to three-fourt- hs of a mill. Thefriends of the bill consider it safe.

Mr. Sparks has introduced a billproviding for the pcrmaneut loca-

tion of the capilal of Nebraska.This bill proposes to give the peoplea chance to vote ou the question ofrelocating the capital.

Mr. Dempster introduced a bill toestablish a slate reform school atKearney.

Mr. Windham introduced a reso-

lution to appoint a special commit-tee of five to consider the proprietyof enacting a military law for thestate of Nebraska.

The capitol appropriation bill

again discussed in committee of thewhole on the 28th; several amend-ments were proposed, and tho mem-

bers took occasion to express theirviews upon the amendments as wellas the merits of the bill. On

to insert $75,000 insteadof $65,000, Mr. Slocum spoke in op-

position to the amendment, and in

fact was in favor of the $100,000.

Mr. Kennedy thought we werenot yet ready for the erection of anew capitol, and he felt that he mustrecord his vote again6t the bill as itnow stands.

Mr. Graybill was opposed to theamendment offered, aud to the en-

tire bill.Mr. Scott was not in favor of so

large a sum as $100,000, nor yet didhe favor no appropriation. He be-

lieved the capitol should remainwhere it was.

Mr. Ryan of Platte, said ho wasunalterably opposed to the bill. liehad observed tho mysterious work-ings of Lincoln's powerful lobby.All sorts of trades were being made.There were normal school appro-priations, reform school appropria-tions and all kinds of appropriations.If the legislature passes this capilalappropriation it opens the way tothe expenditure of $100,000. Gen-

tlemen should remember that theywere sent here to vole conscien-tiously and not to swap for this andthat, at the expense of lax-payer- s.

Mr. Baker read a long speech frommanuscript, opposiug the bill.

Mr. Frederick opposed the bill.On a motion to indefinitely post-

pone tho bill, we were sorry to findthe name of Mr. Loveland in thenegative, but his vote has been fullyexplained and his true position isfully tested by recording his voteagainst the bill on its final passage.

Mr. Van Wyck in the senate byresolution asked for a bill for a moreequitable and just assessment oftaxes, and to prevent treasurersfrom loaning public funds.

Mr. Ciarkson, a resolution for abill making grave robbing a peni-

tentiary offence.Mr. Van Wyck introduced a bill

regulating transportation of passen-gers by railroad.

Tho capitol appropriation billpassed the house on the 30th by avote of 43 to 30.

On the same day the temperancebill was ordered to be engrossed fora third reading.

The bill creating the county ofNance has passed both houses.

The prohibitory liquor bill under-went several amendments and alengthy discussion iu committee ofthe whole on the 30th. Finally amotion was made by Mr. Vander-- m

an that the committee rise andreport the bill back to the housewith the recommendation that itpass, on which motion the volestood as follows : Yeas 44, nays 3G.

Mr. Loveland and Rjan voting nay.Mr. Stone introduced a bill to

protect depositors in banks.Mr. Sparks introduced a resolu-

tion for a special committee of fiveto be appointed by the chair to in-

quire into the sale of lands donatedto tho state for capitol purposes, howmuch of the same has been sold, howthe proceeds have been applied, howmuch remains unsold aud the valueof it. Resolution carried.

Lincoln Correspondence.January 2Sth, 1879.

Editor Journal: A resolutionhas been offered in the llouse,whichwill interest many of our people;wiil be the cause of investigating amatter which is interesting the peo-

ple more at this time than any othersubject before this body.

Iicsolvcd, That a Select Committeeof live members be appointed toinquire into the facis with referenceto the Ireight aud passenger tariffcharged by the different railroadcampanics within this State, andreport the facts found to the House,at the earliest date possible, aud toreport whether iu their opinion thefreight and passenger tariffs on ei-

ther of them so charged, are un-

reasonable compared with the finan-cial condition ot the people, and ifunreasonable tariffs are charged, toreport whether the same can beregulated by law, so as to practic-ally benefit the people having a justregard to all the interests of theState. The motion to adopt wasagreed to, and the Speaker appoint-ed as such committee, Messrs. Scott,Loveland, Trowbridge, Dempster,and Browulee.

This matter is being fully investi-gated by the committee, and up tothe present lime the prospect is not"flattering'' for legislation. Scottand Loveland take a stand in favorof legislation, while the remainderarc against. The grounds for theirtaking this stand against legislationare, First, there is u prospect ofthere beiug more roads built in theState within the next two years thanever before in the same length oftime, therefore any legislation inregard to reducing rates would de-

ter this movement and the westernpart of the State be injured thereby.Second, there are but two roads inthe State that are paying any divi-

dends, and all branch roads are atthe present not charging iny morethan roads in other States, wherethey have more business to supportthem. There is a bill now on gen-

eral file establishing passenger ratesat three cents a mile, and fixing thefreight rates at five cents per tonfor first ten miles and three centsper ton thereafter. This will in-

crease the rates on the U. P. R. R.fifteen dollars per car betweenOmaha and Kearney, and about thesame between Omaha, Columbus,

and Schuyler. The U. P. officials

claim they aro giving low rates oncoal which is three-fourt- hs centsper ton per mile. The majority ofthis committee arc personally in-

terested in the building of railroads,as they aro at present living off fromthe line of any road but bavo one inprospect the coming year. Also, amajority of tho House are in aboutthe same position, oven those re-

siding on a railroad are looking forcompeting lines. Thereforo tho mi-

nority of this committee have verylittle chance, even if they offer aminority report. I have seen anumber of letters from "Graugers"in the hands of their representatives,instructing them not to support anybill that will create a fight withrailroads, for reasons as stated.

Jiepresentative Ryan tried veryhard to-da- y, while working in thecommittee of the whole on revisionof the statutes, to amend by adding,"and the mayor shall have jurisdic-tion as may be vested in him byordinance over all territory withinone-ha- lf mile of the corporate limitsof said city for all purposes exceptrevenue," but was voted down forno other reason only that it wasprinted aud they did not want tochange it. This, you will discover,is for the purpose of shutting outone of the .worst nuisances we haveiu Columbus, that is Seuecal's hay-

stack, a nuisance which the Councilhave no power to abate, and whichis the worst fire-tra- p in the State.Another object was to protect thecity in collecting the amount duefor license from circuses.

Ono of the amusing features ofthe legislature is the 3d House, whomeet about once a week in the cap-itol building. The meeting is presided over by a Squatter Governor,Speaker, etc., and opens out with agovernor's message which is immense

The capitol appropriation bill wasvoted on in the House to-da- y andcarried, but think it will not pass inthe Senate. Yours,

Innocence Arroad.

Capitol Appropriation Hill.

The Omaha Republican takesrather strong ground in favor of theappropriation of $100,000 to build awing to the capitol. It gives as itsreasons for the views that it advanc-es, that the capitol building is un-safe and inadequate aud that thequestion of capital removal cannotbe intelligently acted upon for twen-ty years to come.

We readily admit the first propo-sition, and favor an appropriationoften or fifteen thousand dollars toput the capitol in repair. The sec-ond proposition is scarcely worthyof consideration. We believe thequestion of capita removal can beintelligently settled within the nextfew years, and not only believe thatit can be but that it shoxdd be. Thepeople of this state know fully aswell to-da- y where the centre of pop-ulation will ultimately be, as theywill know in fifteen years from thisdate. It is a question which will beagitated and must be settled withina few years and the proposed ap-propriation only increases the diffi-

culties of the situation and adds tothe burdens of the people.

Let the present building be so im-

proved that it will be sate and ade-quate for the next few years, but letus have no appropriation for build-ing a wing to a,future capitol build-in- y.

We feel sure, we express thesentimculs of the people of CentralNebraska when we sav, that underexisting conditions the proposedappropriation is unwise and ex-travagant.

The above, from the pen of Broth-er McCunc of the Butler CountyRepublican, shows that his head "islevel." His reasoning is sound ; butthen what do the friends of themeasure have to do with soundreasoning?
