MURDER.
"We stop the press to nay that a re
port has been received from Council
Bluffs by telegram saying:
-Gt. Packard, (at New Orleans)
was assassinated to-day at noon."
.If this is true, we may almost bid
farewell to a peaceable solution of the
present politicol troubles of the coun
try. Guess", the Geological Survey is a dead
Jotter after all. Too hard times.
We call attention to the sale of John
liauer, near Louisville on the 23d of
this month
Remember the adjourned grasshop
per meeting on Saturday at 1 P. M.
harp. No delay this time.
Prof. Aughey was sick, and that was
the reason why ho could not attend
the grasshopper meeting Saturday.
We have received Zeilin's new Cen
tennial calendar for 1877, a very valu
able book for household receipts and
descriptions of the scenes of the Cen
tennial, only one cent te pay the post
age gets one.
And now the democrats want to go
back of the compromise bill, which
they themselves introduced and fought
through, and declare Tilden elected
anyway. Well see about that.
There is a picture of Country -Coasting"
in Harpers Weekly in which on
one corner two fellows are capsized,
and two other -chaps are pointing at
them and laughing. The picture is very
true to nature so was Lon Cunning
lum's remark when he saw it. "That
reminds me of something."
Dr. Tio Lewie, in a card in the Lin
coln Journal testifies to his apprecia
tion of the devotion to science of Profs
Aughey and Collier of the State Uni
versity, lie says "If I were about to
settle in Lincoln I should rejoice in
the opportunity to study certain de
partments of science under these gen
uine masters."
The electoral commission assembled
Wednesday morning and Carpenter
resumed his argument. After consid
erable debate it was decided to give
counsel on each two hours to argue on
admissibility of evidence. After a re
cess Trumbnll concluded hi argument,
wlien the commission adjourned till
Thursday morning.
Uncle Johnny Irvin had his "mule
case" before the Legislature again for
n evening, and the boys were rather
Inclined to make sport of him when
the old man indignantly asked "If this
wae a theatre or a legislature?" The
.chair said "he was in doubt." Uncle
Johnny ought to have asked him some
thin easy.
Geo. S. Smith commenced his duties
sis District Attorney at Lincoln last
week, and took charge of his first Grand
Jury. It is acknowledged on all hands
that George makes a Mo 1 District At
torney. Monday they tried to take
Turtle and Bull, the detectives who
carried Blair out of the country to Eng
land, out of his hands on a writ of
habeas corpus, and the case is being ar
gued now at Omaha.
OUR HEADERS.
Mr. Bobbitt introduced a bill for ex
tending the time of payment of School
Land notes, and reducing the interest
thereon. It is II. K. 143 and is in com
mittee. Mr. Gilmour a bill for the protection
f inaectiverous birds.
Mr. Barker a bill to appropriate four
sections of Saline Lands to build a
bridge across the Platte, (supposed to
be at South Bend.)
Mr. Beardsley is on the committee
of accounts and expenditures, ene of
the busiest in the House, also on Pub
lic Lands and Buildings and on Con
stitutional Amendments. Enough to
keep any man busy and he has been
ons of the hardest closest working
members there.
The New York Sun thinks the
House of Representatives should de
clare that It. B. Hayes is not elected,
as this wonld leave the title open to be
contested in tho courts, but then it
says we have no Supreme Court any
more, and then it thinks further that
an indignant and furious public opin
ion -will drive the present National
judges from the bench, &c.
It is curious how these fellows al
ways think that an indignant public
opinion tliinks just as they do, and how
invariably indignant public opinion
really goes the other way. Then the
driving the Judges oft the bench after
passing a law to compel them to act
is logical. Tho Sun is the bitterest
anti-Republican paper in the United
states. It happens to oppose the cora
premise, but the Democracy offered"
the compromise, voted for the com
promise, passed the law that made the
judges come down from their high es
tate. Now what public opinion will
the Sun appeal to; Republican? not
with much force. Democratic? with
what consistency ? Really, it seems to
us, it will have to make an "indignant
and furious public opinion" in the
Sun office; just as our indignant and
furious friend at Omaha makes his in
Ihe 1 trail office.
NSWSFROMTflBCAPITAL.
We had expected to tell our readers
this morning that the Legislature
were about to adjourn respectably this
evening. At present, however, such is
not the outlook. A night session in
the Senate last evening developed the
fact that a determined opposition
would be made to the appropriation
bills, headed by Van Wyck of Otoe,
and the Democrats and Independents
generally. Unless they harmonize
matters this morning there will have
to be an extra session , called, thus
causing delays and expense to the
State. Yesterday afternoon the gener
al appropriation bill came from the
House and was at once considered by
tho Senate, in committee of the whole.
Howe in tlie chair. The major part of
the afternoon was spent on it, and
when about half way through it be
came apparent that either they
would not get through in time to
have the amendments printed
and adjourn at the time set, or else
nearly all items would be fillibusted
out. Mr. Chapman arose and moved
that the bill be reported back and re
commended to pass without amend
ments (just as it came from the
House) Mr. Howe put the motion and
18 gentlemen had voted aye on it, (a
majority of the Senate.) when Van
Wyck sprang up and made a long har
rangne followed by chaff and cross ques
tions generally from that side of the
House. Chapman demanded that the
negative side of the question be put,
and the vote declared, several times
and was backed by other Senators.
Howe ruled that any time before the
negative was put, any gentleman could
talk on the subject. Amidst the clat
ter some one arose and moved to take
a recess, and it was carried, or pro-
nouned carried by the chair. Great
glory! but Sam ivas mad and we rather
expect some one will hear from that
ruling befere we all cry quits on this
bear garden down there.
The fact is, the quicker this Legisla
ture adjourns the better. They are do
ing no good either for themslves or
the people.
The funding bill has gone through
and become a law.
The Governor had signed 18 bills on
Wednesday afternon.
The Electoral Commission are still
arguing on Louisiana, and very little
prospect of a decision. Both parties
are in torture until the final result is
known.
Nearly every farmer in the county
has low wheels belonging to a cultiva
tor, corn planter or some other imple
ment that could be used in a grasshop
per machine. Then all that is needed
is the frame and axle.
The item for the insurance of the
public buildings was cut out. The In
surance company pay the State in fees
and taxes an average of $10,000 per
year, and the insurance was only about
3,000 per year. We cannot afford to
leave these buildings insured. Look
at the Asylum.
NEW PBO-RATA BILL.
According to the Omaha Republican
a new pro-rata measure has been offer
ed in Congress by Mr. Allison of Iowa.
It provides for a bridge at Plattsmouth,
provides for the U. P. prorating with
the B. &. M., and also for a mandamus
to compel the enforcement of the law
if passed. It is to supercede the so
called "Crounso Bill" entirely, that
having been abandonded.
On'the Church exemption clause in the
General Revenue bill. Senator Chap
man took the ground in favor of no
exemptions, except for buildings and
necessary grounds actually used for
sacred purposes. Brown was against
any exemption, and Howe wanted to
exempt $15,000 worth which means the
whole generally, and it passed, exempt
ing all church property.
The Herald does not want to sit by
a member f the legislature during a lec
ture on "air" and 'things, again. When
Prof. Collier asked if any one could
blow that little copper disk off. he
arose, confident that nothing in the
forces of nature could resist the "blow"
of a f uil fledged Nebraska Legislator
man. You all know the result, but
when he sat down he whispered to us
confidentially, sort of by ourselves in
the crowd. "I'll bet there is one man
in that house can blow that thing up
yet or else there is no use in this world
for gas." "When the Prof, put the ale
in the g!a33 and blew it up and the
creamy froth began to rise, his eyes
glistened and his hand involuntarily
stretched out for the delicious bever
age, when the thing went down he
gave a great sigh, a3 if his heart was
broke.
When the carbonic acid began to
rise in the water and the bubbles shot
upwards like good soda water, he says,
"Oh Moses wouldn't that taste lovely in
the morning after a nightout in Lin
coln," and yet lie was an ordinarily
pious public servant too.
"Perspective is a beautiful thing,"
and comment is unnecessary on a New
York stage route in slushy time.

THE GRASSHOPPER MEETING LAST
SATURDAY.
At an early hour the farmers began
to gather on the streets, and at one
o'clock a large crowd had gathered in
front of the Court House. The Agri
cultural Society met on the same day
and it was thought best to wait until
thev were through which was done.
Great disappointment was felt be
cause Prof. Aughey failed to appear,
and the Herald particularly felt very
much disappointed. Many came out
almost on purpose to hear him speak.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. Childs, and MacMurphy was chos
en Secietary, MacDonagh haring de
clined acting, not being able to stay.
Mr. Scurviu said he had a model of
a machine he would like to exhibit.
MacDonagh calls for information
about grasshoppers hatching out.
Mr. Todd asks, "Has any one seen
young hoppere of this year?"
"Mr. Dorrington had seen young hop
pers, oceans of them, in Richardson
County. Another gentleman has seen
them ten miles south of here. Dr.
Childs stated that his man brought in
a dozen in a bottle that day and he had
seen some himself. There was no
question about their hatching out and
the eggs being lively.
Jas. Hall stated that ho has a hog
yard where the ground has been rooted
and torn up so that the eggs are turned
up Jo the surface, even single cones
and eggs (as you may say) being seen
and they are all lively healthy eggs
and are hatching. Has no doubt but
that a large portion of them will hatch.
Has 55 acres on which the eggs are as
thick as they can lay, and they all seem
healthy.
MacDonagh thinks one half the eggs
laid will hatch and may then be count
ed at 500 eggs (or young hoppers) for
every half inch square of surface.
T. J. Todd thinks the young hoppers
can be caught and destroyed at the
rate of 20 to 30 acres per day. Doesn't
think they are easily killed by frost,
cold or any atmospherical changes.
They hatched in '58 and froze and
thawod out apparently and there were
st'll enough left.
The Secretary was instracted to read
from Prof. Riley's lecture on the de
struction of young winged locusts.
MacDonagh thinks Riley a theorist.
Mr. Thomas suggests a machine with
weights etc., to mash them in the egg.
Dr. Childs asks if there are eggs in
the prairie sod or only on plowed or
cultivated lands. Mr. Droste says
that no eggs are found in the long
grass or out on the prairie; that they
are nearly all laid in cultivated ground,
along the edge of timber, and where the
grass has been herded or is short.
They are unequal on plowed lands; he
has one field of 40 acres on which there
is not a hat full of eggs, and others
that are full. Locusts always leave
the prairie for the timber on approach
of a storm.
Adams quotes Judge Maxwell ex
perience in '09 and regards deep plow
ing in the fall or spring very useful.
In 'CO he went out in the prairie and
found the ground literally covered
with them, way out in the prairie
some one started a fire, he was afraid
it would burn him up, burn his wheat
Beld over, but it didn't, only burned
the hoppers up and he sold $1300 worth
of wheat off that field the next spring
thinks plowing deep in the spring
and burning off long grass good preven
tatives. He is satisfied, in the case
above, there was not enough inside the
wheat field to eat the wheat badly and
the fire burned those up outside; and
they must have been hatched there or
they wouldn't have left the wheat to
go out in the grass without eating it
first.
Mr. Ferguson, lives in Stove Creek
precinct. Two years ago at Weeping
Water and around his place they had
hoppers bad. He broke 70 acres half
a mile from any plowed land, right out
in the prairie, and got 20 bushels to
the acre. Don't think eggs hatch in
the long grass. Has lived here eight
years; he noticed that where he lariat
ed his cows and they had eat the grass
off and stamped the ground hard, in
numerable quantities of hoppers were
hatched but not in long gras3 away
from that think they lay less eggs in
stubble than plowed land even.
Mr. Adams asks what they did or
where they laid their eggs in early
days before there were farms here,
must have laid somewhere.
Mr. Jeans says in the fall of '56 there
was a hoppers raid about his place as
thick as thi3 fall, there was no cultiva
ted land at all, you may say, no farms
and no roads, all wild prairie land.next
spring not enough hatched out to hurt
the little graden truck they had, he de
duces from this that they do not lay in
grass, but in fields and along roads and
hard tramped ground. James Hall
thinks grasshoppers areliki homestead
ers, they take up the bdt lands first,
those most suitable for their business,
such as plowed fields, aud near groves,
roads, &c. but they come here loaded
with eggs which they must deposit
somewhere. -The shorter the grass
tho better, out they must and do lay
somewhere finally. Calls on Mr. Mc-
Conkey.
McConkey Doesn't think they lay
in the grass so much, he lives in the
timber, and hasacrek runningthrough
it, and he always fancies he has mere
hoppers than anybody once he fired
straw and burned them off the wheat.
they went into the timber and along
the bank of the creek and there laid,
that is their favorite spot for laying.
Mr. Todd says we all know thev are
here, they are hatching, no need to talk
about that. of them will hatch, now
we must get rid of them, and how?
That's what we want to know sug- !
gests a machine that, shall be pushed
through the field causing them to jump
up into a long sheet iron pan (as one
may sav) smeared "with tar or sticky
substance, and when full saturate with
coal oil and burn 'em. -
Geo. BeckTexpects the worst, does not
think nature will help us much, must
help ourselves, thinks eggs enough
may hatch to clean us all out slick.
One man can't work alone, all must
help. He can fight his own hoppers
but can't kill his own and his neighbors
too. As soon as we really wake up to
the danger we will work, not waked
up yet. Wants to fight unitedly n
masse. Those who are too far on the
outskirts to save their crops can come
in and help others and get pay for it;
that will help them don't expect to
kill them all but can enough to save
most of the crop, thinks we must have
machineiy, necessity is the mother of
invention, and knows a machine can
be made simple and effective that will
kill them.
Jos. Fairfield calls forS-iurvin's mod
el Mr. B. is to yield the floor until
Mr. S's machine can be exhibited.
While S. is gone for his modal Mr.
B. Droste tells of a Colorado machine
which they call a "Grasshopper Hell,"
(laughter). It causes the hoppers to
jump into a trough where a constant
fire is kept burning, afLer the machine
is started, the wind and the oily bod
ies of the hoppers feed it and it burns
them all up and destroys them (good
good, give 'em hell), Scurvin brings
model. It is a machine on two wheels
geared like a header, with a lever wheel
behind, and pushes ahead a canvas trap
with wings somewhat wider than tha
swath between the wheels would cov
er. It can be run within less than three
inches of the ground, as the hoppers
jump up they light on an endless apron
of canvass, which carries them to the
rear over a roller, where they are drop
ed into a box, where Mr. S. proposes to
keep a slow sulpher firs and burn and
kill them. It looks feasible. After
this is examined sufficiently Back says
his idea of a machine was similar as
far as the canvass wings, the principle
of making them hop up. and the end
less aprou, only he wants rollers adjust
ed by a movable spring (as in wringers)
that will crush them, thinks Mr. Scur
vin would have to stop and empty his
box and the fire or smoke might scare
the horses.
Mr. Upton liked tho rollers, thought
they could be killed easier than burn
ed, &c, says further that they do not
need to be mashed fine, only disabled
from hopping, as thoe that are left
greedily feed on the mutilated bodies
of their fellows, and as no machine
could hope to catch all, as some would
hop out of the way, those left would
eat the wounded, and could in turn be
killed, or would never return to grain
again.
Dr. Child corroborated the fact f
their cannibalism, and said they would
leave the finest vegetation to eat each
other, in case some were crippled or
wounded.
Scurvin said in regard tolas machine
if lie could catch his hoppers once, get
them in there, he could kill them some
how, and thought the rollers would
have to be very close or thev would let
half grown hoppers through.they would
soon clog up and wear rough, be costly
and impracticable.
Beck said he didn't want to make
mush of them, just brsak their necks
and drop them. Dorrington explained
a system of long sheet iron or tin pans,
with handles at the end, which two
men carried through the field. The
bottom was covered about two inches
with coal oil. It had been found suc
cessful in Otoe Co. Sige Bros, were
making some now for a fanner theru.
Todd liked the pans, and that was
his ilea modified only he didn't want
to walk and carry the pns put hors
es en his pans and tar to make 'em stick
till he got ready to kill 'em.
Thomas thought his idea of the ma
chine to m ish the eggs, still good, and
then one to follow and catch young hop
pers (both could be combined on one
set of wheels and axles Ed.)
Dr. Black offered a resolution em
powering the County Commissioners
to offer a reward for the best and sim
plest machine, to kill or destroy grass
hoppers. This was amended and talked of a'
good deal, as to the kind of machine,
and as to the amount of reward, some
wanted 50100 -500 dollars. The fol
lowing was finally adopted by the meet
ing, and the Secretary instructed to in
form the Commissioners of the action
of tho Convention.
THE RESOLUTION.
Resolved: That the Convention pe
tition the Co. Cotn'rs. tooifer a premium
of 850 for the best, cheapest and sim
plest machine that can Le made to de
stroy grasshoppers, said machine to be
such as can be made by any farmer or
mechanic in the county, and they shall
be fH;e to make such machine. The
award to be made by a committee ap
pointed by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners being luckily
still in session the Secretary laid the
matter before them at once, and they
immediately made an order to the ef
fect that such a reward would be giv
en, and a committee to test the same
appointed at their next regular meet
ing ia March.
The Convention adjourned to meat
at tho Court House again, next Satur
day at one o'clock, when models of dif
ferent machines are expected to be
brought before the people to be inspect
ed, and the matter of destroying the
insects more fully discussed.
Adjourned until one p. m., Saturday,
Feb. 17th, 18 77.
A. L. Child,
Jno. A. MacMurphy. Chairman.
Secretary.
Mr. Ramsey, County Commissioner,
informed us afterwards that they
would take due means to let the people
know of the time and manner of test
and how the award should be granted,
&c. It having been presented to the
commissioners just as they were leav
ing, and in fct Mr. Arnold had gone,
they had no time to arrange particu
lars now.
The msetinsr next Saturday will
throw more light on the subject, no
doubt, and tho commissioners come to
the wisest conclusions on this subject.
. Tho Herald would suggest that
those meetings be kept up every Satur
day until the hopper is destroyed or
destroys ns. Meetings where the farm
ers come together and compare notes
about how fast they are hatching,
where thickest, what machine works
best, all new discoveries and best meth
ods, and to aid and help each other all
they can we believe a strong, united
fight will be successful. By comparing
notes we may be able to mass machines
and forces at different farms as they
hatch out at different times, and thus
help each other greatly. We believe
Cass County has begun rightly we are
satisfied practical machines can be
made and used, and if we keep up the
good work we may defy Mr. Hopper
and raise a bouncing crop in 1877 yet.
Hurrah boys! a long squeeze, a strong
squeeze and a squeeze altogether and
we'll mash him somehow.

Washington, Feb. 12.
The two houses met at ten o'clock,
as required by the compromise bill. In
the Senate, as Mr. Ferry ruled that no
business was in order until the decis
ion of the commission had been acted
upon, nothing was done, and Senators
sat around listlessly gossiping with
each other and with friends who
were admitted to the floor, with a
dummy in the chair as acting presid
ing officer. When the house met there
was a brief attempt at delay by Mr.
Clymer, who gave it as his excuse that
no quorum was present, and Knott
tred to carry out Field's programme,
by moving that the decision be recom
mitted to the commission for a report
as to the facts and law upon which it
was based. Mr. Hale was on his feet
instantly, and made several points of
order to prevent the introduction of
the resolution, but was not able, in
Randall's opinion, to meet the, case.
Finally. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, whose
knowledge of parliamentary law is sec
ond to that of no man in Congress ex
cept Mr. Blaine, came to his rescue and
1 ut a (dock in the way of the resolu
tion. The discussion began ten min
utes speeches being in order, and twelve
gentlemen spoke.
The roil wa3 called, and by a party
vote
THE DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO ACCEPT
THE DECISION OF THE COMMISSION
a body created by them. The Senate
was invited over, and about 2:15 o'clock
the joint convention was again in ses
sion. The Secretary of the State read
the decision of tho House. The vote
of Florida was then announced as hav
ing been cast for Rutherford B. Hayes
and William A. Wheeler. Ex-Confederate
General Cook read the certificate
from Florida in a blundering way.
Randall was very unhappy in the se
lection of his two Confederate tellers.
Cook is especially given to blunders.
In reading the signature of the vote
from Georgia he said, "In the year of
the independence of the United States,
the one thousandth and first" instead
of the one hundred and first. Then in
announcing the vote he gave Tilden
the votes for President and Vice Pres
ident too, aud it would have gone on
the records in that way if some one in
the House had not corrected him.
When he announced the vote of Ken
tucky he gave Tilden eleven votes in
stead of twelve, and announced that
Thos. A. Hendricks, of Louisiana, had
had received the vote for Vice Presi
dent. After
THE ILLINOIS RETURNS
were read, the Vice President asked if
there were any objections. Everybody
looked at Springer, who was sitting in
the rear of the hall with Merritt, of
Springfield, who brought the evidence
of elector Chaffee's ineligibility; but
no objection was made, and t lie Vice
President passed on to Indiana. At
the last moment the Democrats decid
ed not to object to Chaffee, because
they thought it best not to put them
selves on record, as the Republicans
have three or four cases of an identical
character to offsett their single one
with. The buzz 'of surprise was so
great that the proceedings were stop
ped for a time. Allison read the re
turns from Iowa and Ingalls the re
turns from his State. There were
FOUR RETURNS FROM LOUISIANA.
two Republican and one Democratic,
and the fourth a miserable burlesque.
The two Republican returns are ac
counted for by the fact that there was
informality in the first one, which was
discovered after it had been ?ent by
mail, but before the duplicate by mes
senger had gone, so a new one was
made out and duplicates sent by mail
and messenger. The Democratic re
turns .were certified to by that ancient
and almost forgotten pretender 11c
Enery. The burlesque showed the
spirit with which the people of Louis
iana regtnl this whole matter of the
selection of a President. It represent
ed that a number of John Smiths, des
ignated in different was, niet and cast
the vote of the State for Pater Cooper
and Samuel Cary. Several objections
were made from the Democratic side
to the counting of the Republican re
turns, and one objection to the Demo
cratic returns was presented by Sena
tor Howe and others. The Democratic
objection?, hs in the Florida case, were
long, and consisted of a legal argument
The Republican objections are brief
and to the point.
THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION
met at once upon the adjournment of
the joint convention and arranged for
the arguments to-morrow. Senator Mc
Donald and Representative Jenks will
present the Democratic case as object
ors, anid Judge Campbell of New Or
leans, Trumoull and Carpenter will
argue it. Senator Howe and Repres
entative Hurlburt will present the Re
publican case as objectors and Evarts
and Stoughton will argue it. Two
hours for the objections and two
hours for the arguments will be allow
ed on each side, and the commission
will probably begin the consideration
of the case Wednesday afternoon. It
has been agreed that a stenographer
shall be present in secret session here
after to report the discussions.
Washington, Feb. 13.
At a meeting of the electoral com
mission to-day Senator Thurman was
absent owing to sickness, and after a
delay of fifteen minutes the senator
arrived. Ten minutes later argument
was begun, by Senator McDonold. who
supported objections to the Hayes cer
tificates from Louisiana.
At the conclusion of Howe's argu
ment Judge Campbell informed the
commission that Carpenter, Trumbull
and himself would appear for the dem
ocratic side.
Evarts announced that Stoughton,
Shellabarger and himself would appear
for the republicans.
Campbell requested six hours' argu
ment for each side.
Garfield moved to make tho timo
four hours. Recess.
On reassembling the commission an
nounced that four hours aud a halt
would be allowed to each side for their
arguments and that the commission
would commence hearing at 5 and sit
until 9 o'clock this evening.
