" which we will place before,. our- readers
next-week'. 'Vie find our affairs, discon
certed with the Advertiser, in - such a !
Ii.spe as to demand our' immediate and
almost exclusive attention fonx few weeks
s jci 5-er attendicg to which ive will be
on hand with our "quill1' in detail as to
" many important general acts passed
: As to the doings of the. Legislature, we
think vf e are safe in saying . that no in
YcEijent mind' can 'reasonably' complain.
A rast amount of useful and much need-
- ed'ierriilatian has been attended to.,1 No
'. session has ever been so harmonious, and
' productive of o much good. ' We- now
have as" rood a code cf laws as any Ter
ritory as cr fever hadin fact, few if
. an- Elates have' better. The Criminal
4Ccde Uthat cf New York as westernized
?cni adopted by Illinois.. .The Civil Code
is that cf Ohio, with slight alterations.
.The School law is the, Ohio law as near
Vca iccujd'iell be. ; The Revenue law is
principally new and suited to our -locality
and the age in which we live it is good.
iThe reneral law to ."license and regulate
the sale of malt, vinou3 and spirituous
.. -.liquors," is we think moit excellent. ' Its
.principal features. are. aminimum (fc25)
and maximum ($500) fee, and a minim
. ,urn; ($1000) and. maximum (85000)
;lcad,that it may be used, either as a li
" cense or prohibitory law as publie opi
nion may warrant or demand. The reve
.nue arising from fees and fines go into
the common school fund. The county
commissioners grant the license excep
in incorporated towns, where the corpor
. ate authorities control the matter.
The new Apportionment law for the
'House of Representatives gives to Nema
;' ha county four -members' exclusive, in
. place cf three jointly as before.
The county line between Otoe and Ne
maha was so charged that Nemaha gets
the -whole of what is familiarly known as
;M.Kissicks Island." ,
Territorial Printer.

about thissubject through the columns of

matter cf public printing with you,. Mr.
Reynolds ;; we "want to see your loss ;"
it is with him we have to" do. And in
fhe prosecution of the matter, the whole
afTair thall, so far as we are concerned,
be conducted upon the merits of the case.
The JVhr closes its high-toned ba'.der
" dash by saying : , We advise .Ir. Morton
to do as Secretary Walsh did pay p

We shall enter into no lengthy , or de
tailed explanation or argument upon this
subject before the public. A decision is
to be made by the proper Department at
Washington;' there we shall appear, be
lfcVlxthatlaw, usage, precedent, and
reject for the. expressed rights of the
tccp!e7aS guaranteed' them by the Or
ganic Act to "regulate their own domes-
' tic afifairs in their own way" will govern
the! trib'tfnal in deciding.'
That our readers may understand the
issuej we will briefly" say that the General
Assembly of" the Territory, at its late
,-hrcbedicnce to law and a time
' " "tianortd cusfotriin join! s'ession proceeded
to. th? election of a .Public.. Printer R.
WFurnas being the person selected.

. Laws and Journals into the hands of the
' Printer chosen by the Legislature ; but
contracts "with Thos, Morton c- Co., of the
Kelre.sk! City Iev.s, to do the printing.
. ViTe d not know h&w true the report, is,
t.zr do we assert as a fact that the 44 Co."

This institution has made progress so
far as bun? referred to the Committee
of the Whole in the Council, bat there it
will probably, end.
It was indefinitely postponed, then re
considered and referred to the Committee
on Corporations, from which the majority
reported favorably to its passage, and Mr.
Miller cf the minority recommended its
indefinite postponement, which, cn a vote
being taken, was lost. It was then re
ferred to the Committee of the Whole,

This bill is now lingering in possession
of the conference committee over a small
unimportant amendment, which may de
stroy the bill.'
B.EVEXUE.
The Revenue bill being under consid-
eration, xlr. JMason moved to strike out
an improvements irora taxation, wnicn
was strenuously opposed by Messrs.
uwyer, Clayes and others, and the ques
tion being put upon the amendment, it
was lost.
QUESTION Or PRIVILEGE.
One day during the week the Court
Bailiff came into the House for the pur-
pose cf serving a subpoena upon the
peaker, ana, witnout permission, walked
directly to tne peaker s stand, and in-
tormed mm ot bis errand. 1 ne bpeaker
replied that he would not object, and in
answer the officer intimated that he
should probably return with an attach
ment. On the retirement of the officer,
Air. Bennet arose to a question of privil
ege, and spoke as to what had transpired
and remarked that an officer had no right
to interfere with any member of the
House whilst ia session ; and upon this a
discussion arose ia which many of the
members participated, and arrived a4 the
conclusion that members could not be ar
rested whilst in the House.
J SPECIFIC TAX.
There is a provision in the new Reve
nue law laying a specific tax of three
dollars on every quarter section of land
for road purposes, which can be worked
! out at one dollar and fifty cents per day,
besides a poll tax of one dollar and
fifty cents, which may be discharged with
one day's work. -
This is in addition to the advalorem tax
for county, territorial, school, school-
house, city, and other taxes.
Time will show its popularity,
no. TAYLOR.
The county of Otoe was exceedingly
fortunate in her selection of councilman
when Mr. Taylor was found to be the
choice of the people.
He is a sound reasoner, an eloquent
speaker, a laborious worker, and . atten
tive hearer, in reference to the subjects
which are presented for his consideration
and within his province as a legislator.
He participates in all important business
and discussions before the Council, and
receives a due share of the passing enco
miums. SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
I hold the people would not require the
passage "of this overwhelming majority of
local bills, if their members would take a
correct view of the matter, and be govern
ed by a principle that could be consis
tently explained before their respective
constituencies. ,
There are general ferry, road, incor
poration and county seat laws, under
which the people of every county can ob
tain their rights at home without troubling
the Legislature or its individual mem-
bers. .
And yet we see the Republican takes
the position that the "Republicans and
opposition members have at all times been
in favor of such legislation as the people
of Nebraska require at their hands."
Now this is just in keeping with what
I have considered their policy and prin
ciple.
In the General Assembly, the opposi
lion to special legislation is sneered at
and ridiculed, and the republicans do
nearly as a boay, whenever & test comes

WASHINGTON COUNTY SEAf.
Here is' one of the bid sores of past !
legislation revived.; This question was
settled in a bitter contest originally, when
the county seat was located at Fort Cal
houn,' and has continued to trouble every
session since.
A bill removing the county seat of jus-
tice to De Soto passed the House on! Sa-
turday last.
The question of the removal of . the
county seats of "Richardson, Johnson,
Cass, Cuming Dixon, Platte, Hall, But-
tier an(j others, has been introduced into
the House and taken up much of its time;
members leaving.
Several of the members left on Sunday
and Saturday, and will continue to depart
one by one until the end of the session,
as the Secretary refuses to pay any more
expenses, either in the way of per diem,
postage, stationery, or anything else, and
it is presumed not to be profitable to con-
tinue any longer if ; tiie pay has to come
f rom the Territorial treasury.
