- The Case of Mr. Dsndj.
We infer fromQ recent editorial in the
Nebraska, City News, that our neighbor
desires to "call U3 oat", cn the contest
question" new pending ia the Council
branch of ihs Territorial Legiilature, le-
Uvecn E. S. Di:ndy and W. C. Fleming;
from the Richardson and Tawnee Dis-
. .trier.
- As tve understand the case, Mr. Djn-
?y holds th? certificate of election given
him by tht proper officer the Clerk of
Xiicharison county; that Mr. Fleming
holds .a ceniilcaie from the same Clerk,
showing that he received the largest
number cf votes cast in the district, in
cluding residents upon the Half Breed In
- dian Reservation; that the Canvassing
. Board threw, out, or refused to count, the
rotes of residents upon this Half Breed
land; and that, by so doing, the count
ihOvrcd Dundy to hare a majority of what
might Le deemed the legal vote, and tha
ihe certificate of election was therefore
awarded him.
in cecumg uron tnis case; eitner ir
' the capacity cf a. Canvassing Board, or a
member of the Council, we are free to say
that the obligations cf the oath of office
would forbid takinrr into consideration
previous customs, or known, or reported,
real or apparent inconsistencies cf officers
or individuals. Facts, and our convic
tions as . to the law in the case, alone
ought, and would guide us in acting or
deciding. Fully convinced, as we are,
that Indian Reservations are no more a
part of Nebraska than are portions of
' Missouri and Iowa, and that consequent
ly residents thereon have no more legal
right to vote in Nebraska, than have
those of Missouri or Iowa, we would have
had no hesitancy whatever, as' a member
of the C:nvassin2T Board, in awarding
Mr. Dandy the certificate, or, as a mem
ber of the Council, in voting for him to
retain his seat.
We arc aware that House members of
the Legislature from Richardson county,
j:w bold their seats by the aid cf votes
cast by the residents cn the Half Breed
land, and. that those residents have here
tofore voted in that county at most, or all
'elections.- That there is a glaring incon
sistency, to say the least, in the manner
io'which affairs have been conducted, in
that county, we are, of course, very free
to admit. Yet. this does not affect the
my, or cr.ange our opinion as 10 me oniy
regal and proper course to be pursued in
.this or like cases.
While upon this question, we again, as
heretofore, express the hope that some
steps may be taken by which the Half
breed land, in this and Richardson coun
ties, may be made a part of the Territory
o Nebraska. The lands liave already
mostly and must ihortly all passed into
the " hands" of industrious, intelligent,
thriving white settlers, whose every in
terest are identical with us, and they
ought to be "of us."

Correspondence from the Capital.
Omaha, Dec. 17, 1SG0.
Mr. Editor: The business of the
Legislature is progressing flowly as yet,
though everything is done in a friendly
spirit. The Democrats stave off mere
party questions as long as they can, and
whenlhcy are voted down, submit with a
better grace than I expected. The Re
publicans are careful not to use irritating
language when debating party questions.
As retrenchment and reform are the
order of the day, there' is occasionally a
?picy debate between those who are in
'uvcr of, and those who are opposed
reducing the compensation of officers.
There is a bill before the House
abolish the office of School Commission
er, and transfer the duties to the Audi
tor.' Some wished to increase the salary
tf the Auditor, others opposed it. .
Mr. Redick (Dem.) was opposed to
increasing his . salary ; the duties he
wnuld have to perform as Commissioner
.sere very pleasant, the principal duty
being to go around, and talk to the lady

Democracy were about gone up in this
Territory, so far as the offices were con
cerned, and he did not want to give the
Republicans more than he can help. Re
fort says .they are great fellows cn the
"fund's, and he was a little afraid cf them.
The fee Liil occupied the House most
i f the time Thursday; and Friday, and is
, not completed yet. The bill as reported
allows County Commissioners two dollars
per day. A republican moved to substi
ut three. This gave rise to quite a de
bate, in which Downs (Denu). accused
i he. Republicans cf "preaching reform,
Ut not practicing it..
There is a salccn kept in the basement
- the Capitol, and as the House, cn Fri
day, was in session six or seven hours,
Hie members rot both hungry and thirsty
The conspnucrre was. that about four
1
.f'clock, cne cr two cf them did cot know
whether they were r.ddressirg
breaker. CXcxV. cr Doorkeeper.
f 1 . .
The next day, Davis (Rep.) moved
that the saloon be abolished.
"Downs (Dera.) thacktd the gentleman
from Cass for his motion, and would cor
dially co-cperate with him.
Redick (Dera.) was opposed to any ac-
to,
to
tlie
tion. We have no right to interfere with
and destroy private property. He consi
dered it a necessary evil. The man sells
crackers and bolorrna taufarre, and ecnic-
thimrelse. He took a friend down there
yesterday, and took so:r;e crackers; his
friend took something clue. The Republi
cans appear very much afraid that some
of their men will get drunk. His friend
Downs appeared to Iti scared about it
also, but he was cot afraid of that saloon
doing any harm.
Djvvns acknowledged . he wa3 scared.
A burnt child dreads the fire. He didn't
know but his friend. Redick was scared,
and as far as the Democracy were con
cerned on the score cf whisky, it was
well known that they were case harden
ed. The motion was carried. The ques
tion wa3 not whether the 'selling of whis
ky was risrht or wrene but whether a
whisky shop should be kept within the
walls of the Capitol.
Concerning the fee bill there appears
to be an opinion among some of the mem
bers, that unless the fees are high, com
petent men will not accept the offices.
This is a false idea. Any man who will
look around him, will see some office that
pays liberally, filled by an incompetent
man, and the duties performed by a dep
uty for a portion of the income. He will
sec dozens of men in every populous
county competent to fill any of the offices,
toiling in the summer's sun and the win
ter's frost, for a bare subsistence for him
self and family, while some men favor
ed with more influence but less talents, is
the incumbent of a good,fat office. Then
down with the fees.- '

that "I can't say that I have never, sucked
James Buchanan's teats." Tell him pot to
hurt himself. I don't believe that J. B.'
is the government. I don't.
The members have something less than
a hundred Divorce bills in their pockets.
which of course will be brought before
the Legislature, unless thev decide to
;ave nothing to do with thern. Among
them is one which passed the Council last
Friday, dissolving the bonis of matrimo-

wife. The Jerseyman is said to be rich;
this is his second wife; and he is going to
put up a large manufacturing establish
ment in Omaha.
Mr. Tipton (Rep.j and Mr. Little
(Dem.) both opposed the till. Mr. Lit.
tie was peculiarly severe. He wanted to
know how this man had ot rid of his
first wife. How he had got' his wealth.
Whether he had got it with his first wife,
or did he marry the second for her mo
ney, and having got that, he wanted to
keep the money, and put away the wife.
If Jersey was present, he must have felt
anything but flattered at the manner in
which he was handled.
When this bill comes before the House
it will be "knocked higher than a kite."
Mr. Little is a tall, ungainly man, with
a peculiar, voice; he reminds me of the
pictures and descriptions of John Ran
dolph. He has very good talents, but
whether he will become as celebrated as
the descendant of Pacahcntas, time alone
will tell. .
As regards your question "How do you
like legislating ?" I answer that it is a
mixing up affair. A member brings in
a bill, that he has expended a greatdeal
of labor in preparing, and by the time
it goes through the legislative mill, he
cannot recognize ne single feature of it
as having ever belonged to himself.
Nemaha.
Omaha, Dec. 20th, 1SG0.
Mr. Editor: There have been thirty-nine
bills and memorials introduced in
to the Council, anl seventy-three Jn the
House, none of which have passed both
Houses.
The House on Tuesday decided the
contested case between Hedde (who is a
German and Republican) and Johnson
(who is an American and said to be a
Morman and Democrat.) ' The House
refused to oust Hedde in favor of John
son, for which I suppose the "only two
papers in Nebraska" will give it fits.
One thingis certain, Johnson has no more
right to a sat in the House than I have.
There, was a petition read in the House
this morning, praying to dissolve the
matrimonial connexion existing between
W. R. M. Breckinridge (commonly
known In Brownville as Major i?recen
ridge) and D.cey his wife. Appended
to the petition was nn affidavit trcm a
prominent citizen of Brownville, setting
forth certain facts. The petition and af
fidavil were read amidst shouts of laugh
ter, and immediately refered to the com
mittee on Jr.frrnflr Improvements, (there
to die a natural death.) There is no use
sending Divorce cases here, for the House
has decided it will not grant any, that
the applicants must go to tht Courts.
The House te-day, after a protracted
debate ousied A. M. Acton of Richardson
from his seat on the ground cf ineligibil
ity, he living at Rclo cn the half-treed
tract. There was a great deal cf out
side presure, in favor of Acton. Ferscns
who had bought lands cf the half-breeds,
seemed to think that the rejection of Ac
ton would injure their titles. It was also
regarded a3 affecting Morton's chances
to keep the spat in Congress. The out
siders got very excited, and used seme
pretty strong language when the yeas and
nays were called, there were COyeas, and
16 nays. All of the Nemaha delegation
voting yea. Of course the Nebraskian
will skin them. There was then a reso
lution introduced declasricg Mr, Daven
port entitled to the seat vacated ty Mr.
Acton. Mr. Redick of Douglas wanted
to speak to the motion; some of the mem
bers thinkins: that he and ethers, only
wanted to speak to kill time, called for
the previous question, but after seme con
versation had passed, it was votod down,
only 5 or 6 voting for it. Mr. Redick
spoke in a very excited manner about
members applying the gag, and gaging
men, the speaker had to call him to order
several times, after a while he cooled
down and gave way for Mr. Leckwood.
It hurts Democrats teribly to be defeated;
by the time however Redick and others
have had several yeais experience "stand
ing out in the cold," they willl take
things coder. Mr. Lockwood (Rep) of
Dakota, spread himself, arguing against
Mr. Davenport's right to the seat. Some
of his arguments were good, while others
were miserable specimines cf special
pleading. When Lockwood finished
sDeakinar the house adjourned without
coming to any decission. My opinion
now is, that the seat will remain vacant.
Mr. Baker has been in his seat yester
day and today, but as he is rather feeble,
to go tack and forth between his board
ing house and the CapitoL ' Mr. Luce
the Tentorial Librarian has very kindly
furnished him a place to sleep in the Cap
itol. Allow me to say a few words about
some of the officers here. ,: There was a
little flare up between Morton and Dundy
on the first day of the session, and of
course I dont like the Secretary's course
on the printing question, but he certainly
is a very pleasant . sociable gentleman,
and I think realy desires to get on smooth
ly with those who have business with him.
I for one, am "willing to give the devil
his due," and not "paint him blacker than
he really is."
The Secretary's Seoretary (Mr. Luce)
is very unpopular with the Republicans
here. I am thrown in contact with him
every day, and except a little roughness
in speaking on political matters, I have no
fault to find with him, and his kindness to
Mr. Baker shows that his heart is in the
right place.

ter that curtailment does not always im
ply economy; that the best interests of
the people are rarely promoted by an in
discriminate lessening of salaries, or a
consolidation cf offices.
I am led to these remarks from the fact
that it is contemplated to unite the offices
of Auditor, Librarian, and School Com
missioner; making one person perform
the diverse the multifarious duties now
discharged by three. Is this wise ? Is it
regarding the best interests of the people?
Who will look1 tathe cause cf education
as one that is to elevate the masses? I
answer.no! The School Commissioner
does not really receive more than six
hundred dollars ay ear. And, I know, if
he is competent, and attentive to his du
ties, he will find enough to employ him. ;
in efforts .to arouse the laboring classes to
a just appreciation of the aristocracy of
mind, in its full development -in organiz
ing school districts j and that general su
pervision it should be his pride to exer
cise. As there is no appointment more
conducive to our prosperity, there is none
that should be better paid. It requires an
intellectual and moral capacity of the
highest order, and this cannot be had for
a meager reward. ..
- I hope these few: suggestions will be
well received, and acted upon, by the col
lective wisdom of the Territory, at Oma

"Uncle Jo." is right in all bis "points,'
especially in regard to consolidating the
offices referred to.,: Our educational in
terests, and the office of School Commis
sioner, are the most important in the Ter
ritory. The moment they are mixed
with officers, or offices, they become sec
ondary, or incidental, and will, we fear,
be sure to b neglected. - - -
Retrenchment in this Territory is bad
ly needed, to-be-sure; but-be careful,
gentlemen of, the Legislature, that in
your efforts to retrench, you do not run
to the "other extreme." Sound, wise,
and discreet legislation is expected at the
hands of the present Legislature; and
we have great faith in the "working
power." Bat look out for "pit-falls;"
they are "scattered all around" for you.

Constipation or CosIIrcncss.
No one of the many "ills 3?ah is heir to" i so prt
ralent, so little understood, and so mut'ii neglected
as Costiveness. Ot'ren orijinatiDif ia carelessness,
or sedentary habits,it is regarded aa a s ight disor
der of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while
in reality it i the precursor and companion, of many
of the most fatal and danpercus diseases, and un
less early eradicated.it wiil brin tbe si!! rer to aa
untimely grave. Among the li-h ter evils of which
eostiveness is the our.t attendant are lieadache.
Colic, Khe imatism, Foul Drcath, Piles and othen
of like nature, while a Ion? train of frightful dija
ses snch as Maliiaat Fevers, Abbesses. Dy?entery,
Diarrhoea Dyspepsia. Apoplexy. Epilepsy, Paralysis,
Hysteria. Hyp:chnndriasis, Mebr.oholy and lnsaui

alarming symptom. Not unfrrquently the disease
named originate in C'.nHipation, but talifon an in
dependent existence unless th; cause (s eraiicate-l
in aa early stae. Frnm all these censi durations, it
follows that the disorder should receive immediate

paid in a very brief space of time, fifty
per cent., is added to the amount. A
procedure, in my view, not justified in the
most prosperous times, by any body of
men claiming1 to be guardians of the pub
lic interest. ' .
A still more unwise practice, in refet-
pnro tri thi mntter. is the forcing a sale
of nrnnertv the first vear. which shomd
I I J .
never be done under any circumstances
Two years at least ought to elapse before
resorting to measures so summary.
And, as I am on the subject of griev
ances, permit me to state that, if the Stay
Law was repealed by a subsequent. act,
as decided by a judicial tribunal, circum
6tanccs require immediate action in the
matter, to protect the property of the peo
pie from the rapacity of creditors, until
they canhave time to make arrangements
to satisfy the demands upon them, with
out toa great a sacrifice.
And as it would require the ingenuity
cf an able lawyer to define explicitly the
heterogenious mass of exemptions passed
last session, said to amount to some fif
teen hundred dollars, would it not be well
to modify it to say, in plain terms, that
cne thousand dollars worth of real estate,
and five hundred in , personal property,
shall be exempt from execution. It is
confidently asserted that by the act, to
which reference is made, one man may
have a stack of buildings worth twenty
thousand dollars on a single lot, and, if he
lives in one part thereof, he may bid defi
ance to his creditors. - This, certainly, is
not a law suited to the genius cf our rep
ublican institutions. That the rent of
one man's exemption should amount to
more than the entire possessions of an
other, is a crying evil ! One that places
the industrious tiller of the soil and the
toiling artisan, for whose benefit it should
have been ncade, far below the aristocra
tic delinquent ; and calls loudly calls for
amendment, at your hands.
And while you are on the subject cf
retrenchment, it may be well to rcroem-
