James attempt to prorogue the House of Rep resentatives, pay that Lis attempt was valid and legal? If they are afraid to attempt a vindication of the legality of the 3etion,,ho7F do they expect to en dorse the act iteelf acd at the eanie time ha treated as honest and truthfull jour nal?, entitled to tho respect and confi dence of the peop!e. We venture the prodirtion that there is not a paper in thid State foolhardy enough to come out an-4 say that the rocssesj of -dr. James was a legal and valid adjourn ment of the House of Representatives. Whenever a paper can be found to do this we will engage to show to the mind of every intelligent man that its position is fiiilacioD?, end is taken either through ignorance orn desire to deceive. Where is the paper that dare attempt it. "DROITS ISO CATC II AT MTXl.l fffi." The people of Nebraska City call a public meeting for tho purpose of doing something to help business in that p'aco, and that very truthful (?) and reliable (?) journal, the Omaha Hcrahl, comes out in a doublelcadcd leader "Inauguration of too People's Movement in Ne braska City," and proceeds to treat it as a grand uprising of the poople to overthrow existing po litical parties. The evident intention is to deceive people in other portions of the State, and induce them to organize a "people's movement" on the strength of the assumed action in Otoo. That is rather "thin," Dr. Tha people aro not entirely trevoid of sene and rea;on. THAT 3111.11 1. 1. Tho Chronicle of the 21th contained tho fuilowin : "Judre Maron, Collector Lamaitr, the members from this county, and a . number of other citizens vent to Li:i "3'!n ysstrrJay. Wc still believe that ths rtnt: of thievc3 will be "cleared out," even if it take all the militia of the Stale."

Here is what he fays of hia proroguing excellency for tnhich we recommend that he be pro rogued by Mr. James, adjourned by Has t), and pronounced a "den of thieves" by the "honest" portion of the Nebras ka press Omaha Herald and Lincoln St'i'ettnan : "Acting Governor Jan c is a small, dark man, about w hom nobody seems to krow a great deal, but who impr sscs one unfavorably. iiok'nilkfirtce and in d .'vision are written all over him, from his t-hort and curled upper lip to his if'tly treacling feet." Oh, dear! It i3 is perfectly awful to epeak thus of the man whom Mr. Thom as, of tho Omaha liepulican designates as "fully meeting the expectations of .the people," "modest and qui et in his demeanor, he is nevertheless firm and dttt-ruuncd in his cllorls" etc. ki:ato:i i licricocii.

Everybody has heard of the fellow tvho joined the crowd and tliouted "ftop thitf," at the top of his voice. Well, there are several persons in our State who have been crying "etop thief" for the past year or more, and all that is re quired to bring them to light in their true character is a little time. "The mills of the go3s grind slowly, but exceeding- small," and they have already com menced the grinding process on some of the "stop thief fdlowa of Nebraska. Representative Gaiey publishes a card over his own signature in which he as serts, and otTers to prove, that the senior editor of the Stittsnian proposed to him to support the Salt Laud Bill, about which so much has been said, if Mr Ga iey would support a resolution whereby the Statesman ofiice could secure the in cidental printing of the session. A little more timo will bring others of these honesty screcchers to the surface in the same unenviable light. "EXIItA KXKt'L'TIVK. Our very noted acting Governor,, whom Mr. Thomas eulogises as having performed "his oflioial duties in a straightforward and upright manner," and as "fully meeting the expectation of the people" has seen fit to override the will of the Courts and the jury by pardoniug Dr. Stoddard, the notorious aloi'tionist of Omaha, before he liad hardly had a .taste of prison life. And what is wor-t of all, we learn from a ro liable source that the pardon has been in operation for the pa.st two weeks, although the 27th was the date set for hearing and considering the application for pardon. We hope for the credit of the State this is not to, but we have it from a source which we cannot doubt If this -ic'.ion i not "extra Executive we are at a los3 to know hat to term it. It is claimed by tome that Stoddard's wa.T not an aggravated case, but it was sufficiently aggravated that Eleven of the twelve jurymen before whom in was tried were in favor of a three years sentence, while a single man stuck for one year, which was finally agreed upon. THAT lI.I.lilTVr. Miller and Morton are now ready to carry out that oft repeated threat, made by Morton, that when the Democratic party of Nebraska failed to serve him and his purposes, then he was read to break it up. In the "new order" Miller is to be the chl -f adviser, aud will prob ably seek another viit to the "burnt dis trict" in ccaipany with Senator Hitch cock, while Morton will make these Otoe county Democrats, who refused to obey him under the old party rule, dance a hornpipe whilo he furni.-.hes the musk. Ho has "ieL-konid without his host," ho'.ve er, for if we mistake not he v. ili have a lively time in whipping in su.h free thinkers as Thorn, Dillon, Hawhe, CV.lh 'Un, ar.i a h;st of others whom we could name in O:oe county. Miller bus tried long and faithfully to forcj the De mocrats of Nebraska to do his bidding, and now that he is fuily convinced that hecanuot accomplish this result, has de termined to try a i-ot? dodge, and will break up the parry and force them to ibllow his leadership iu the new deal which is intended to make himself and Morton the great moguls of the State. Sail in Miller; go it Morton; we pity your followers. We copy the following dispatcher from the Blair Times as fair samples of the manner in which . a certain class of correspondents attempted to (and actu ally did) create public opinion du:ing the recent session of the Legislature: Liscoln, January 2I'd, 1S71. The people here are arming for self protection. They are determined to dis burse the rump Legislature and Senate at all hazards. Ji?l Senatorial and Rep resentative districts prepare coffins for their revolutionary members. Give us Salt ! or give us death ! To the Tiuks : Lincoln, January 24th. The respectable citizens here are gath ering at the Capitol this morning and making preparations to trout the rump senate to a coat of tar and feathers. Ilou.-e ditto. Both Houses are beastly drunk. We know nothing as to who is respon sible for the above, neither do we care to know. He is a fair specimen of the hireling correspondents of the Omaha Herald and JStpuLlican with the excep tion of J. A. MacMurphy ("Tip Top"), who is entitled to iha thanks of the hon est citizens of the State for the fairness with which ho spoke of public matters and public men while he acted as corre spondent cf tho Omaha Republican. AiJe from him, the men who wrote let ters and telegraphed to the Omaha pa pers during the rect-nt session were ir responsible young men, who had neither reputation nor honor to lose, and who eiomed to act on the belief, that the greater number of opprobio us epithets they could u-c and the more dastardly and villainous accusations they could make, the nearer they would come to pleasing their masters aud earning the money which was paid them for such villainous work. The members of the Legislature were ju-stly entitled to severe cen.-ure for some of their act, but they were also entiled to some measure of justice. With all their faults they were immeasurably bet ter men than those who sat there day after day and sent such villainous dis patches as the above, which did not con tain a single element of tm;L or manly justice. Will the men who were pres ent at the capital on the 23d and 24th sit quiet and allow such dispatches as the above to be published without attempt ing to do justice to the men against whom they are aimed? . So far as we know not fipgle iatere;t in common with these men, neither person J nor po litical, while wo have reasons of the storngest kind for opposing very many of them and wishing to f e th -m on the 'un derside" in the political struggle; yet we cannot so far forretthe duties we owe to them as men as to refuse to raise a voice in correcting some of the slanders which have been heaped npou them by hireling correspondents cf a venal and malicious press. We were at tho capi tal on the 24th, and we know whereof we speak. We defy any man to name a single occurrence on that day that could possibly be distorted into anything disorderly or unbecoming the dignity of any legislative body, or the peoule as sembled, if wo except the acts cf the aforesaid correspondents, and on this point we appeal to the honesty of even the bitterest enemies of this nuch ma ligned (yet deserving censure) legislative body. THE VoTiL'E Ol' TI1E PHES3. Tho unanimous voice of the Republi can press of Nebraska, so far as ex pressed, is in favor of more thorough party linos in futnre than during the past few years, believing this to be the true solution of tha present political muddle in this State. Tho Fremont Tribune says : The "njuddV of our Legislature can hardly be said to be a Democratic or Republican affair it is rather honest men against plunderers and disorgani zes. Both political parties furnish men for each wing but the bulk of the shameless outfit is made upof the "peo ple 8 ticket men, or those who were nomiuatcd on one ticket and received a lare support of thi oppositon part3 eithtr through unpopularity oi j arty candidate or local feeling, l'rom the shameful action of this class of men our State is learning a severe lesson, and in future we shall hear of less "bulling. scratching and trading" and'sca a square stand-up for party men. Ibis is tue only proppr course, then a party must stand slnl or laM on the record of its chosen representatives. THE "TIMBUEa. BIXIXESS."

We rejoice with the people of Omaha in the solution o: this troublesome ques tion. While it insures a brilliant future for Omaha, it is a'.5o a triumph for the whole State, inasmuch as that which en riches Omaha, cr any other pa:t cf the State, adds to the apgresato wealth of the State. The transfer quccticn Las been cno of great moment to the two cities directly interested, acd each have put forth their entire i forts to secure the b.neCts a:idn t'.oitfrom. It el ways appeared to us that Council BIuUs hal the alvai,ij iu tue strife, but that fact only ad Is to the Lii-lianey of the victory lor Umpha, k, as it appeals, they have at last secured a permanent settlement of the question on a basis cf lasting benefit to Omaha, and oi:r cntiie State. Let the noise of the "timbrel" be heard over the entire State. ViSIICII? Tho O ha Herald scys it "bagged in vain to huva party organizations main taiuel iu the Legislature after the elec tion of Davil Butler to the Govcrnor thip." Was the Herald right then, or 6 it right now, when it advocates tho dis- bauding of all parties except the oue of which Dr. Miller aspires to be the charn I'ion and leader. Wc believed at the tima above alluded to that the Herald was right, and we f till believe it. If it wa riht then, it is evidently wrong now. It would fc-eeai that there is a vein of vindictiveness somewhere in tha Her ald management and that it now desires like a spoiled boy to break up all party organizations, even including its "never changing Democ acy" because the Democrats of the Stat'3 refused to fol low its dictation a year ago. Either this, or tha Herald is insincere in it declara tions, and only desires to play another Philadelphia Convention, in order to break up the Republican party and throw the rebellious Democracy it. to power by the "swallowing" process of" which it spoke only a thort time since Some person in Lincoln seems to have endeavored to personate Hon. Seth Ro binson, ex-Attoruey General of the State, in the matter of advice relative to cer tain State Lands, whereupon the said Robinson publishes a card in tWe Jour- and winds up with the following pui picture of himself, that the unsuspect ing may not hereafter be imposed upon: Now, know all men by these presents, that I Seth Rubinsou, the subscriber, am a person of light c-jmpiexion and hght hair, (which i wear lung, partly lom vanity, paitly from indolence, and partly to appear eccentrical;) that 1 hab itually wer a ferocious, piratical mous tache, aio light and bordering disagree ably upon red, that, in person, I am sliorc, stoutly built and stoop shouldered, with a countenance uot entirtly pleas .tit, and that my oiiiee is on tha corner of O aud ll:h Etrett, where I do busiac-as and give udvke. Abrasion op Coins. A statement having been made that a single bank in London had lost 35,WO, in one year by the abrasion of the gold coins, a prac tical philosopher visited the Bank of England in order to examine into the matter. This gentleman reports that the whole breadth of a counter, upon which the sun happen d to be shining, displayed myriads of particles of gold, which had evidently been struck off, mainly, by tho sharp edges of the steel shovels used to remove portions of the heap of sovereigns. It is also asserted that the milled edges of the sovereigns must assist in the natural rasping-if tho coin.

A correspondent who witnessed the sorting and counting, at the Treasury Department, of the burned mney from the Chicago ruins, gives this word of warnin g: Anybody is liable to be burned out ; any fire proof safe is subject to be ing brought under the test of extreme heat, and its contents roasted ; so that I all persons having notes, bonds or post- ace stamDs put away for safe keeping, i should take the precaution to keep them spread out their full size, no placed neatly over the other, and in case of an accident or a calamity, such as that at Chicago, very little will be be lost in the proee33 of redemption. All notes, whose value can le made out, are redeemed at full value. There is no discount on burned money, as there is oa mutilated money. Charity Chanty is a universal duty, which it is in every man's power some times to practice; there is scarcely auy man in such a state of imbecility, that lie may not on some occasions benefit his neighbor.

Akecdote or Goethe Goethe r.as, !bra tinse, manag-r of an amateur thea tre at Weimar. Once, when the "Jeal ous liujbaud" was to L-3 perilrmed, tha gentleman who was to act the loer was suddenly taken ill. A Saxon captain gooi-naturcaly undertook to play the part, although he confessed he had but little .experience in such mitters. llo went through tho rehearsals very decent ly, and there wrs little doubt but that, with thjs help of a food prompter, all would go cu well. But when the poor captain iictually appeared before the au dience hs seemed to los;e ali - memory; still he continued to halt on till the jeal ous husband was to rush in and tab him. At thi unlucky moment hs for got his catchword aud continued ham ming for several minutes while the furi ous husband was siattding between the side scenes with uplifted dagger, ready to strike. The captain was about to be gin his part afie-h, catchwords and all, when, on the advice cf Goethe, the hus band rushed in and with one desperate lunge thought to s.lencc him. Not so; the c iptaiu stood like a wall It was to no purpose that his adversary o- treated him, in a low vi ice, to fall and die. "I have not got the catchword, ' was the in variable rep y. At la-t, Goethe, quite out of patience, called from behind the t-cenes: "Stab him in the back if he won't I all we mu-t get til of him at all events." Upon this the hu-band, who had lost all prescence of mind, cried with a voic of thunder, "Die villain !" and gave him at the same time such a blow in thr t?ide that the captain, unprepared for this attack in the fhnk, actually fell down from the shock, upon which Goethe fearing his resuscitation, instantly sent in uriiH stout servants with order to carry fiiO Ou, dead or alive, by main force.

There is much excitement here over a Tumor that St. Louis is burninc un. Sto ries are current tn the streets rivaling in imaeinaUvo horror the Chicago couna gration. The only foundation for the report seems to be the fact that a large foundry and one or two other houses burned thero last night, an account of which was sent in these dispatches. There has been no iire at ail in St. Louis to day. . New York, January 20. Stokes was arragined to plead in the Court of Oyer and Terminer this morn ing. His lawyer, John Graham, said he intended to move to quash the indict ment; that the grand jury had been giv en the case before the coroner's jury had given their verdict, and the coroner had kept back tho fact as to whether the de ceased was armed, and otherwise to exer cise authority contrary to the State in its anxiety to obtain a murderous verdict. Tho papers wera clandestinely trans ferred to the grand jury; the coroner, too, violating his previous promise,, placed upon the jury a lawyer named Morsel B. Field, whose motives were prejudiced. Graham olludad to the part taken by cx-Judge Fullerton in obtain ing tho indictmeut anin-t Strikes, sav ing Fullerton became acqua nted with ail of Stoke'e piivate affairs as his coun sel, and then, Stokes refu-ing to pay him an erroneous counsel fee of five thousand dollars, sued him, subsequent ly u-ing hia knowledge as his former counsel to secure an indictment again-t Et-'kes. The foregoing were brought before the court by Graham in shape of afrlduvits. District Attorney Garver stated that he did i propose to put in contradicto ry affidavits. Graham then ajkei the quashing of the indictment on the ground that the sitting or the two grand juries was unconstitutional; that the pre sentment should be sent bofjro another grand jury after the 1st ol February. The District Attorney replied to Gra ham, and argued that nothing had been iilegaliy dene in the wan nut quashing the indict merit.

The Tribune to-tr.orrow will publish a letter from Mayor Hall to Comptroller Green, in which he announced his inten tii si of fonn ratiiing from office. The Tribune will also publish to-morrow a li-t of the outstanding claims against the city and county, which are to be submit ted to the new board to audit. It says a brief examination of the li-t shows that many of th.; frauds by which Tweeu proii ed are concealed in the.-e bills. Ac companying t!iisht arc ai-o c initial Csti mates obtained from the comptrciier of the cost of 15 public departments for the prcset't year, they aggregate l,Ci3 048 i2. The Tribune denounces them as extravagant and urges! a close scruti"y, net only of the outstanding claims but the department appropriations. It appears that tho audit bi'i signed by the governor forbids the payment of any debts in excess of appropriations, aud additional legislation w.ll be neces aty b'.fbre most of the city creditors can be paid. Mayor Flail to day signed bondo to the amount of $21 1,000, tho proceeds to be u-edforthe payment of the interest of the city hond.s due February 1st.

Salt Lake, January 29. In the Council to-day, the reading of the Governor s veto on the admission bill was followed by groans and hisses. Members spoke of it with mingled anger and contempt. Grorge Q. Cannon, the apostle, said that the ignorance of the message wa only equa'lcd ty its impudence. If he hal a boy twelve year3 old who could not write a better document, he would cuif his ears. A motion wa3 finally made and carried that the veto should not be spread upon the minutes. Mormon papers are exceedingly bitter on the veto. The News says the federal officers will go as far in their aiitagosism and olfetisivenencss as thy are likely to be soily on personal consido:ation.

His best jokes were perpetra ted ficqucntly during his most violent bursts of passion. Having oceaeion to bring out one of his best oratorios in a provincial town of England, he began to look about for such materiel to complete his orchestra aud chorus a the place might afford. One and another wa r- commended, as usual, as being a splendid singer, a great play er, and so on. After a while, such an were collectable were gatheted together in a room, and after preliminaries Hand el made his appearance, puffing, both arms full cf manuscripts. "Gentlemen " qnoth he, 'you a 1 read manuscripts?" "Yes, yes," responded from nil ? arts of the room. "We play in church," added an old man behind a violi leello. "Very well, blay di," said Ilanic! distributing tbo parts. This done, and a few explanations de livered, Handel retired to a distant art of the room to onjoy tha effect. The stuuiiiling, fumbling, aud blundering tharnsued is said to have been inde scribable. Handel's sensitive ear and impetuous spir.t could oot brook the in sult, and clapping hi hands to his ears he ran to the old gentleman of the vio lincello, and shaking his wrist furiou ly at the terrified man and the instrument said : "You blay in the church ! ve;y well you may blay in do church for we read, de Lord is long salTering, of loving kindness, forgiving inixuity, tra sg-es-sion and sin; you shall blay in de church, but you shall not blay for me!" an! snatching together bis munuscript he rnshed cut of the room, leaving his astonished performer to draw their own conclucions. The Omaha Herald has louble headed leader iu which it broaches the extremely original idea, that the way to do it next fall, is for the Democracy to take in the sore-headed Republican- and march on to victory. ft- i i tne troub.e is that under the JlerahF lead, on'y a cor poiai's guard can be trot'.ed out of the Democracy itself. We'll give the Herald all th fellows who are too pure to be Republican r.y longer, and then beat any ticket the JLr aid faction and tha sore-heads can get up, by a larger majority than was ever given in tbo State up to date. Lincoln Journal. An economical Towan, who had a toothy acln determined to remove his tooth in tht Indian Fashion. Accordingly he bent cown a sappling iu the woods, Ly down himself, and attached a stuut coid to his tooih and the sappling.
