Judgement of the court to some milder
form of imprisonment. One noticea-
Me feature in the petition which asks
that John Burlcy be not hung bu
Imprisoned for life, set forth that the
crime for which he was sentenced was
committed under the Influence of In-
loiicatincr liquors, and that in the
eminion of the netioners the law al
lowing the sale of intoxicating liquors
khould be chargeable with the murder,
and not the man who drank the mux
derous draught and committed the un
pardonable deed. Upon this petition
we noticed most of the Senators and
Representatives, and many other gen-
ilpmm of standlnc and influence. If
uch be the case, the query arises
ought not such a law to be ripped from
our statute books?
The business of the f ession is being
transac ted very rapidly, and as it ap
pears from our view, with a great want
of consideration. Appropriations of
the public funds- arc made with a lav-
Hi haJ, for purposes of no pressing
Importance. These sums now run up
to over $100,000.
The report of the commissioners to
select a site for the seat of govern
ment, and to build thereon the capitol,
has Just been made, from which we
learn that the building which was let
by contract for $40,000, and good bonds
taken for the completion of the con
tract, now costs the State $7o,000; and
the Governor recommends that the
Legislature pay out of the Treasury
this excess, notwithstanding the con
stitution forbida it.

The total costs $7,559, all of which is a
very large figure for so short a time.

A bill passed the House this week,
tendering $-0,000 to persons wishing to
Tisit Europe, who were unwilling to
pay their own expenses. The act was
entitled "An Act to Encourage Emi

The general herd lay drags Its slow-
length along. The precincts of Peru,
Brownville, Nemaha City, Aspin wall,
St. Deroln and Benton are excepted
from the operations of the law as it
now elands.
No progress lias been made upon the
Railroad bill granting lands in aid of
their construction. The House has
passed a bill offering 100,000 acres to
any road which shall build fifty miles
of road in the State, so long as the
State has lands to give. The Senate

Both bills require ten miles of the
road to be completed in one year, and
the ballance in three years. And the
chances are that no bill upon the sub
ject will pass at this session.
It is the opinion of many that it is
very unfortunate that any appropria
tion of lands were made to the State.
These city lots at Lincoln and the in
ternal Improvement lands, are doubt
less In and of themselves valuable to
the State. Still these, valuable as they
are, beget in the citizens of the State
and their Representatives, a spirit of
prodigality and dogged IndifTerence to
expenditures and appropriations, that
render such appropriations and specu
lations oa the part of the State of
doubtful propriety.
Bills rarely pass on their own mer
rlts ; but A votes for a certain measure
providing B supports his; and so many
bills pass, and are to be found upon
our statute books, which areadisgrace
and a discredit to the State.
Bills to revise the revenue law, the
school law, and the law for selling
school lands, are receiving the atten
tion of the llouse, and will likely pass
ia some form. The session will end
next Monday flight. No extra session
will be called. -

acres for each ten miles of road com
pleted; provided said road or roads
ehall complete ten miles of road la one
year from the passage of th act, and
fifty miles in five years. No roai is to
receive over 100,000 acres, but Is to re
ceive as above until the 452,000 acres-
of land belonging to the State for In
ternal Improvements have been ex
hausted. No road which has received
grants from the General Government
is to rocdve over 50,000 acres. These

rail down and ppiked, and all bridges

"We publish, in our Suppllment to

in getting the trade of Nebrask, the
great mining region west and leaving
in the main line of transit between
the two oceans. In this respect Quin
cy is fortunately situated, being near

river, betweea the U. P. R. R. at Ft.

occupied by Brownville on the Mis

State Road to Tecnmseh.

lue above precious paragragn was
laken from the Nebraska City Press
of the 12th Inst. The facts are that
Mr. Rhodes, the member from John
son county, presented a remonstrance
signed by citizens of Johnson and
Otoe counties against any such act be-
ng past.
Mr. Church presented a remon
strance of the citizens of Nemaha
county, not against the establishment
of the road, but against its passing
through Nemaha county, unless it
runs on section lines. The portion of
this county through which said road
would run, has county roads on ev
ery sectioa line, four rods wide, and
the farm have all good two and three
year old hedges growing on each 6lde
of said county roads, and the people
protested earnestly against a " State
road angling through their farms.
The Press will now see that "the
people of somewhere else con(s)ciou8
of their' inability to compete with us,"
are not guilty of trying "to compel the
Johnson county people to trade with
them."
No, Mr. Press, the people of Nema
ha county are not yet quite so envious
of the advantages and prosprletyof
other localities as the above paragraph
plainly proves you to oe of this.
St. Frederick, Feb. 16, 'C9.
Editor Advertiser As there is quite
an excitement among the citizens of
this part of the county with regard to
the passage of a general herd law, I
would be pleased to see In the columns
of the Advertiser whether such a law
has massed or not, and if so, what pre
cincts re excepted. I received a com
munication from lion. J. S. Church,
stating that in order to pass Buch a
law, several counties were excepted,
and a few townships In other counties
from the operations o' the act, then
giving Peru, Brownville, Nemaha
City, AfpiAwall. Benton and St. D
roii precinct in this county, as Leing
excepted. Itsecin to me by his note
that such a law ha3 passed, although
the bill which was broughj before the
House requires each precinct! to-lake a
vote for oragairwt such a law".
Hoplngyou will explain the matter
for the benefit of your readers, I re
main now and ever for a
Gen. Hekd Law.
We nave not seen the law, but learn
from Mr. Church, who ha just arrived,
that a general Herd law passed, ex
cepting from the operations of thract
the towDthip a'Jove named. He saya
no election is required, but that the
law goes- into immediate operation.
We hope to give the mtrterial points
of the law next week.

Capitol Correspondence.
'Lincoln, Neb. , Feb. 9, 18C3.
Editor Advertiser: The great social
event of the session has been the recep
tion given bast night by the citizens of
Lincoln to the State Oncers and the
members of the Legislature.
The reception, sapper and ball, was
a complete suecess, and reflects great
credit upon the people of Lincoln.
The ladie3 were present in large num
bers. The Senate Chamber was used
an the supper room. The Representa
tive Hall wa3 used for promenade and
dancing. The programme was as fol
lows : From nine o'clock to half-past
ten, promonade; during that time we
had an opportunity of viewing: the
beauty and fashion of Lincoln, as they
repeatedly passed in view before U3.
The ladies were escorted by mem
bers of the masculine gender, among
whom I noticed quite a number of
grave and reverend Legislators, and as
the aforesaid Legislators bent tneir
heads to bring them on the level with
the hparts of their lovel v companions.
and poured "soft nonsense" into the
ears of their fair charges. I fudged
they were performing a very pleasant
duty.
Half-past ten dancing was ia order,
and as soon as the ouadrills were com
menced, supper was announced. Your
corresoondent was ushered into the
supper room, and was wen pieaseu
! J
with the viands set Detore mm, and
to which he did full justice. I noticed
one feature which I cannot too highly
commend, and hope all future parties
at Lincoln and elsewhere will follow it.
There was no intoxicating drinks
oa the table, nor elsewhere about the
building.
Returning to the Representative
Hall, there were several sets of dancers
keeping time to the music, and going
through the intricate figures of the
quadrills.
Near the door was a croup of mascu
lines in animated conversation. An
outsider from Cass county, In a voi-
lent state of excitement, seized me by
the coat and asked : "What manner
of men does Nemaha tsend here as
Representatives?" "Why?" I asked,
in alarm. "Look ?" he exclaimed. I
looked as directed, and beheld there
was the gentleman from Fairview,
chas-say-ing to a fair and gushing
damsel of well, I wont say how many,
or rather, of how few summers. From
the way he performed his part, I came
to the conclusion that he was not only
an adept at the business, but that he
was performing a very agreeable duty,
and his partner seemed highly pleased
with his nattering attentions.
Jn another set was the "gay and
festive" gentleman from Hillsdale,
doing his best to play the agreeable
and dos-a-do-ing to his partner, but
he lacked the same manner of the
member from Fairview, and showed
plainly that he was a novice in the
arts of gallantry. Perhaps by the
time he has served as many terms in
the Legislature as his colleague, he
will be equally as suave.
The gentleman from Brownville
was not taking any part in the mazy
dance at that time, still he was doing
the agreeable to a fair lady, and from
the pleasant looks that were visible
upon both of their faces, I judged that
they were both happy.
ine gentleman Irom Muddy, was.
unfortunately, unwell last night, and
so did not attend the reception.
The Senator from Nemaha, being
young, fascinating and distingue,
performed his full snare or tne gallant
ries of the occasion.
The lobby member from St. Deroln
was not idle on that occasion, but cir
culated through the crowd and enjoy
ed the festivities with great zest, and
was almost as suave as the member
from Fairview.
Take it all in all, it was a very pleas
ant afi'air, and all passed off as "merry
as a marriage bell.". W. A. P.
OUR IVASIIIXGTOtf LETTER.
Scenes at Counting the Electoral Yote
Congratulations t
Ilia return t
Sen. Tipton upon
me senate.
"Wasiitxotox, D. C,
Feb. 11, 18G9.
At an early hour the great galleries
of the House were crowded to their ut
most capacity, reminding one of the
days of impeachment.
At one o'clock the Senate, In solemn
state proceeded to the floor of the
House, and were seated.
Some time after the counting had
commenced, a. difficulty arose about
counting the vote of Louisiana, but
was adjusted by counting it.
Soon after Georgia was called, where
upon is. r . Uutler protested in writing,
and the Senate retired to consider,
and returned resolved to count it if it
did not affect the result, and not to
count if it did affect the result ; this
being the resolution adopted by the
joint committee of both Houses pre
viously.
Isow it happened that' while the
Senate was out, the House resolved 150
to 41 that the vote of Georgia should
not be counted, thus withdrawingfrom
the joint crmpact into which she had
enterea. 1 hus the Senate agreeing to
stand by the joint compact resolution,
aud the House refusing to do so.
placed the two Houses in direct antag
onism.
m t 1 V A m
ine scene mat nere lonowea was
the wildest confusion. It was as if
suddenly the flood-gates of the sea had
been nused and Mailstrom poured
into vesuveous.
Mr. Wade, chairman of the ioint
committee, announced the decision of
ine eenate; Mr. liutier objected to
the decision, declaring that the llouse
would not be overruled by the Senate.
The House "didnH do business in that
wow." and appealed to the House. Mr.
waae aeciaea mere couia be no ap
peal to the House, because its ioint
convention was in session.
a
Cries of "order," "order." arose from
sides, and especially from Mr. Butler
and those near him, while Mr. Wade's
hammer sounded constantly with his
voice, calling "order," ,:order."
Butler suggested that the Senate
withdraw, which being unheeded, he
moved they should return, addinz.
"the House certain! 'jt has a riaht to its
oim hall."
Speaker Colfax', who had remained
silent thus far, here arose, beside Mr.
Wade, and rapping for order, an
nouncd : " The House vcill come to or
der and obey the Chairman of the joint
committee, and any member that will
not do so tlie Saryeani-at-Arms will ar
rest him."
In aa instant ordf was restored,
and Senator Conkling v"ho had by or
der of Mr. Wade, severai times at
tempted to read the statement pf votes,
was now permitted to proceed, after
which Mr. Wade announced the re
sult, both with and without Georgia
and the Senate retired.. '
It is said by some that Speaker Col
fax exceeded his authority in calling
them to order as he did ; but by what
right did tie House refuse to abide by
the resolution of this joint committee
into which she had-entered?
By what right did-Butler proceed to
order the Senate out of the House?
By what right did he claim an ap
peiJ from the discussion of the joint
committee to the House of Represen
tatives? If the vote of Georgia was not enti
tled to ba counted according to law,
had not the joint committee decided
thct it mijht be counted, provided it
did netellect the res-alt?
What if the joint contrition wa
wrong in allowing the voiof Georgia
to be counted at au.aia tha i usury tne
House in refusing to abicjby its de
cision, nd atternDtinsr t carrv' out
thr refu al tv UDroar r.n confusion,
rot only refusing to ttarthe ofilclal
announcement of the elec trial college
at the time appointed by fee constitu
tion, but setting a brecedat of confu
sion inf.nately more subvrsive of all

that was not to affect the esult?
The action of Speaker C-lfax In this
