THURSDAY, JAN. 16, 1S70.
Legislature.
Mr. Sessions, of Lincoln, baa intro-duced-a
bill providing for tbe levying
of a irenerrtl tax for tbe purpose of
building a new Stnto bouse at Lin
coln. Bills nr,s b.-en Introdujjeq. for the
creation of a flab commission, and al
so a State Board pf Agriculture.
A resolution baa been introduced
instructing Nebraska's representa
tives in Congress to "use all honorable
means within their power to secure
tile passage of a bill providing for free
and unlimited coinage of the stand
ard silver dollar."
A bill to prorriote immigratiqn has
beep Introduced.
Tbe correspondent of tbe Omaha
Republican snys legislating is a very
Quiet business, as yet, "and "the pros
pects are that the railroad fight which
was anticipated prior to the beginning
of tbe session, will be quite uniuter
esting, if indeed a t.n.riTbill comes be
fore the body. There seems to bo a
general opinion that Nebraska cannot
afford to indulge in legislation adverse
to railroad interests at this time. In
.all probability tbe year 1S79 will wit
ness more railroad construction than
for some years pat. in case no obstruc
tions are thrown t tbe way. Tn view
of this, the most rabjd a nti-. rail road
men feel that as a matter of expedi
ency a railroad tarifFIaw would be un
wise. There nro oijlj two subjects
likely now, to occasion much debate
and bard work. The prohibitory law,
and a bill providing for tbe construc
tion of a new Capitol building. Tbe
latter, has come before the legislature
already, and pecasions some surprise.
Nemaha's legislators bold posi
tions on several important commit
tees. Senator Howe is chairman of
the committee on railroads. This Is
one of the most importaut and re
sponsible committees. He is also o
member of the following committees:
Accounts and Expenditures, Agricul
ture, University, Enrolled and En
grossed Bills.
In the House we find Mr. Polock
chairman of committee on Engrossed
end Enrolled Bills, and on tbe fol
lowing additional committees : State
Penitentiary, Mints and Minerals.
Mr. HJQwe and Mr. Polock are also
members of a joint special committee
on the revised statutes. Mr. Lash is
a member of tbe committee on Fi
nance, and Iniernal improvements.
Mr. Johnson Is on tbe committee on
Roads and Bridges, and School
ITunds,
Oar legislative delegation seem to
have had their share of influence in
the appointment of officers, as we find
J. W. Brush assistant sergeant-at-arms
and postmaster of the Senate,
"VVm. Bagle3' holding the same posi
tion in the House, and Miss Lucy Pol
ock clerk of the committee on en
rolled and engrossed bills. Mi$3 Bell
Morris eo.ught the position of assist
ant enrolling clerk, but with what
success we have not learned.
The Retiring Governor's Message.
INTRODUCTION.
Governor Garber introduces his sec
ond biennial Message by addressing
the Senate and House by the follow
ing remarks, which are pertinent to
the duties of the honorable gentlemen
addressed:
You have been honored with he
suilrages of tbe people of Nebraska,
and are assembled hero as their rep
resentatives, with authority to aot for
their common interest, and to legis
late upon such subjects as will best
promote the public welfare. To be
chosen by tbe partialitj' of your fel
low citizens to represent them in the
legislative halls of the state, there to
euact new laws and modify old ones
for their government, is justly re
garded a high and honorable privil
ege, a trust that no man can afford to
betray.
Nebraska is noaring the end of her
twelfth year of statehood, and few of
her sisters can show a nobler progreps.
We have great natural resources to be
developed, educational interests to
foster, public charities to uphold, new
industries to encourage. With tbe
necessaries gf life abundant and easi
ly obtainable, with a government em
anatiug from the people, and resting
upon their confidence for support,
with the largest liberty for all, consis
tent with security for person and prop
erty, the state teems with business ac
tivity, and Is steadily advancing in all
the elements that make up tbe high
est order of civilization.
In providing for tbe actual wantss
of state government, tbe people do
not expect to see parsimony confound
ed with economy, buttheydo demand
that there shall be neither extrava
gance nor unnecessary expenditure
of the public monev. nor do they ex
pect our statute books to be encum
bered with laws that benefit tbe few
at tbe expense of the many. The
two preceding sessions were neces
sarily subjected to that interruption
and excitement incident to the elec
tion of a United States Senator. The
present legislature, happily, has no
such duty to perform, and you have
a.n opportunity to. devote yourselves
solrly to that work rightfully expect
ed of active, able, and faithful legis
lators. FINANCES
are then concisely reviewed.

The Journal also says that Mr.

ter work in tbo Republican ranks ;
and that old Nemaha would return to
her old fashioned style of rallying up
eight hundred majority. Of course
everybody will follow Mr. Howe
'tyhithersoever he goetb."
The Omaha Republican, in a later
issue says :
There is no space in this hurried
Jetter to refer fully to the facts, in con
eotiqn of an Juadvertant statement
of a correspondent of tbe Republican
conveying the impression that Hon.
Church Howe begged his way Into
the republican caucus and back into
full party communion. The matter
was all understood and arranged, in
advance of the caucus, and in a man
ner which reflected credit on both
"the high contracting parties." It is
not too much to say that to Mr. Howe's
cheerful return to the rank? and to
his manly and hearty co-operation at
the caucus and since have been very
largely duo the good results which it
has been the pleasant duty of the Re
publican already to chronicle. To say
nothing concerning othpr matters, at
present, it is aue to Mr. ilowe to state
that the clroumstanceR which led to
the confirmation of Dr. Mathewson
without opposition, are largely the re
sult of Mr. Howe's tact and sense.
the Omaha taxes reported to tbe auditor of pub
of tbe lie- '1 accounts is $S21,12G.77. This
amount covers an tbe unpaid taxes
returned since the organization of Ne
braska as a territory, and of course a
large share of It is fictitious and nev
er will be collected. However, this
constantly increasing item demands
yQiir attention, and measures should
be taken tending to a more prompt
collection of the public revenues.
The permanent school fund now
amounting to $535,167.35, is invested
in bonds and mortgages. The yearly
income derived from these securities
and applied to the nupport of our com
mon schools is $36,780.12, and is con
stantly increasing.
During the two years ending De
cember 1, 1878. there have been placed
to the credit of the temporary school
fund amounts as follows:
Interests In lands cold
Income from leased lands
Interest on mortgmjes. ....
Intereston bond and certificates
School tax collected -...
Income from other sources...... .
Total
4133,313.12
Deduct from this the appropriations
made by the legislature in 1875,
amounting to $24,42. 08, which
amount was paid out by tbe treasurer
during the past two years, and there
remains $414,S9q.04, the amount ap
portioned to the counties. Tbe re
ceipts from intereston that part of tbe
funds invested in bopds is less than it
was two years ago. because tbe state
bonds belonging to the permanent
school fund and yielding this interest,
draw but eight per cent., while the
certificates converted Into bonds drew
ten percent.
The amount derived from the Btate
tax is$6S,4GG 15 less for this biennial
period than for the preceding one, on
account of the reduction of the levy
for common school purposes from two
mills to one.
The third House convened at Rep
resentative Hall last evening, and or
ganized by electing Major A. G. Hast
ings, of Lincoln, Chairman. On mo
tion the Peru Herald was made tbe
official orgau of the body. A commit
tee of four consisting pf Gen. Bowen,
Judge Haley, Maj. Fenn, and Capt.
Palmer, was appointed to wait upon
Major Pearman, the Squatter Gover
nor elect, escort him to the guberna
torial chair, and inform him that the
Jhird House was organized, and pre
pared to listen to his message. The
Governor was escorted to the chair,
aud his Private Secretary, Guy A.
Brown, proceeded to read tbe message,
which wes quite lengthy and highly
interesting, and suggested many very
valuable, internal improvements,
suoh as raisinrr hairless calves and
bumble-bees. Just us the Governor's
message was brought to a close, the
gas went out and left the members in

tion fore repairs, when needed, and is
rather of the opinion that this legis

tion of a "new aud more capacious

THE UNIVERSITY,
its "increasing prosperity," and is

mendation for the institution of a
SCHOOIj OF REFORM
should meet with a hearty indorse
ment by legislatureand people:
An institution for the reformation
of youthful offenders, and for the care,
correction and education of neglected
children who are growing up in idle
ness, vice and mendicancy, has be
come a necessity in Nebraska. Tbe
importance of making juvenila refor
matories a part of the publio penal
system was recognized by Massachus
etts in 1848, and to-day there are thirty-four
schools of this character man
aged and maintained by the different
stales.
The commissioners of the Ohio re
form schools, in their report for 1876,
say ; "The institution, although once
regarded as very doubtful, and by
many an unwarranted experiment,
to-day, after a lapse pf twenty years,
is an established fact, and in all re
epects meets the just expectations of
its patrons and supporters. Hundreds
of young men all over tbo state, en
gaged successfully iu various indus
trial and profes&ion.-l pursuit of life,
tbe alumni of the institution, are liv
ing witnesses, bearing' unmistakable
eTidence of the great value and suc
cess of tbe Ohio reform school."
During the past four years there
have been thirty-four boys, between
the ages of fourteen and twenty years,
confined in our state prison, and doubt
less others would have found their
way there bad not their extreme
youth shielded them from punish
ment. It is indeed an open question
whether those who are sentenced to
servo a term in our prisons, particu
larly the youthful offenders, are not
morally in a worse condition When
they are released from, than when
they began a prison life. The intlu
enoo of association with older and
oonfirmed criminals, together with
the stigma that forever follows the
convicted felon, must certainly imbue
tbe mind with ideas that ought not to
obtain among good citizens. Statis
tics show that the average term of the
offenders sent to the reform schools is
less than two years, and that sevent3'
three per cent. Of those discharged
are thoroughly reformed. In recom
mending the establishment of an in
stitution of this kind at some suitable
point in the state, I do so believing
that charaty for our wayward youths
invokes it, and the full performance
of a righteous duty to humanity de
mands it.
THE NORMAL SCHOOL
is favorably mentioned and recom
mendation as follows :
The board of education report that
the increased attendance will require
au increase in the appropriations for
teachers' wages, and that provisions
should be made for making needful re
pairs to the building. I recommend
that ample appropriations be made to
enable this institution to continue the
important work it is now so success
fully performing. Recommendations
for the benefit of penitentiary and
convicts. Regarding
" THE PARDONING OF CONVICTS
the Governor says during his four
years service he has pardoned 14, and
in every instance required petitions
for pardon to be endorsed by the pros
ecuting attorney or the judge before
whom the convict was.tried.
Thinks the salt springs of Lancas
ter could be utilized to tbe benefit of
the people.
IMMIGRATION AND AGRICULTURE.
The establishment of an agricultur
al bureau is recommended, and pro
visions made for the publication of ag
ricultural reports aud statistics, as in
ducements to immigration to our
State. The Governor says :
Although Nebraska is doubtless re
ceiving her ehare of those who are
seeking homes in the west, yet as a
state we have for several years done
comparatively little to encourage im
migration. The incomplete census
taken in the early spring uf 1878shows
a population of 313,748, or about four
persons to the square mile, unevenly,
distributed over a grand area of 75,
995 square miles. When it is remem
bered that the worn out soli of Europe
supports on an average 200 persons to
tbe square mile, and that we hve a
climate remarkable for health, a soil
of unsurpassed fertility, and millions
of acres awaiting the actual settler,
Nebraska's future can only be con
templated with feelings of pride. Of
tbe 4S.000.000 broad aores within our
borders, at least 30.000,000 are suitable
for agricultural purposes. As yet on
ly 2.500,000 acres or about one-twelfth
of our farmine lands have been
..jis7.7so.97 brought under cultivation. Regard-
delinquent ing
RAILROADS,
the Governor says : There are now
within the limits of the stale, com
pleted and in operation, thirteen hun
dred and twenty miles of railway,
with an aggregate taxable value of
over ten million dollars. In 187S the
average assessed valuation was $6,
93S.15 per mile.
During the past two years over two
hundred miles of new road have been
constructed.
Insurance of public buildings, neg?
lected by the last legislature, is rec
ommended. FISH CULTURE.
The protection of fish and fiph cul
ture, is recommended, and should be
regarded as a proper and timely sug
gestion. All tbe reference made to
LYNCH LA"y,
is as follows :
On tbe tenth day of December, 187S,
Luther Mitchell and Ami Ivetchum,
citizens of the state, were barbarously
put to death by a mob in Custer Coun
ty. The perpetrators of this fearful
crime are supposed to be herders or
stock men living in that locality.
Three days ago the people of this state
learned with satisfaction that all the
parties suspected of participation in
this cowardly outrage were safely
lodged In jail. I recommend that an
appropriation of $10,000 be made for
rewarding the men who risked their
lives in capturing those outlaws and
for the further purpose of ascertaining
their guilt or innocence, and if guilty
to make their punishment swift and
certain.
The Governor refuses to condemn
mob violence, and recommends to the
legislature "theswift and certain pun
isnment" of the murderers of Mitch
ell and Ketchum because they "were
barbarously put to death."
The Governor gives the welcome
news that the western part of the
State is adapted to cattle grazing aud
also to agriculture. For the protec

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
An apology is due you for not fur
nishing The Advertiser a letter be
fore this. But all has been "confusion
worse confounded," as is usual at or
ganization of legislative bodies. There
wa9, seemingly more of it at present
convening, than in previous years.
Nearly all members of both branches
are new men. and in keeping with
characteristics peculiar to new coun
tries, were aspirants for further hon
ors, and hence an unusual struggle.
Taken as a whole, the present Leg
islature is above an average; is com
posed of as good a body of men as can
be found anywhere. A very great im
provement on the last, who some fel
low in the crowd at tbe Commercial,
tbe other evening, was uncharitable
enough to denounce as "tho d dst
set of n es that ever sat in Legis
lative Halls!"
Your correspondent is pleased to
see that face "of yore" Ctpt. Polock
from Nemaha, again in a Legislative
seat. Ho is favorably remembered as
Speaker of the House years ago, and
was then regarded as a live working
member one of the best. He will,
doubtless, maiutaiu his reputation.
I have not a personal acjuaintance
with tbe other members cf the House
from Nemaha. They make a good
appearance, and commanl respect.
The iqdomitable and ininipresent
Senator from Nemaha, asusuaj, keeps
tilings fluttering about him. His de
parture from green field) of grauger
ismandgreenbackism, iito full mem
bership with a straight Republican
caucus here, has caused ro little com
meut, complimentary aui otherwise,
both in private circles an newspaper
quarters. They are indued to keep
it up can't reconcile maters exactly.
"Tho three leading q&vspapera in
Nebraska," Lincoln Jairnal, Oma
ha Republican and Ilerzld, first an
nounced, in substance, that "Howe
made application for armission into
the Republican Senate Gliosis, pledg
ing hereafter to act withthe Republi
can party in all matters, md that Ne
maha 'county, in the. futmre should
give eight hundred slraitfit Republi
can majority !u Some ha7e been un
kind enough to intimate tlat the Sen
ator "pla3'ed a dodge" ai the cau
cus, in order to provide fa Brush, a
friend of his from Nemaln, the posi
tion of Senate Postmaster,and that as
heretofore, when at hone, be will
continue to "herd the d d Texas
Steers in Nemaha!" Tje Journal
and Republican "gigs" ajrifle, how
ever, and now intimate tiat "Howe
was invited into the Republican cau
cus!" That the Repullican party
needed him wanted his jurifying in
fluencehis ability, and more espec
ially that "eight hundred Republican
majority In Nemaha." The Omaha
Herald compliments hitu by saying:
"Church Howe can lead Tioro parties
at one time, than any man of his ac
tual dimensions, in America."
A prominent Republics from Ne
maha meeting Howe, a day or two
ago, suggested he bettersart out with
a few hundred less majorly in Nema
ha, and work up gradually to the
eight hundred ! It is sail Howo will
consider the suggestion.
Tho intimation in tho "Brush
dodge" js being modi fid. It is now
claimed that Brush is oie of the old
est and stralghtesfr Rpubljpans in
Nemaha always voted in uuscratch
ed ticket !
The meanest, most unwind, and un
warranted "fling" at Fbwe, is from
some of his old greenback associates
and anti-railroad men. They clmrge
that the U. P. folks desfred him in a
position where he coull be of some
service to them, in retirn for favors
rendered him heretofore. That as
there was now to be a cfear Republi
can caucus, be could be ff little prac
tical benefit unless in full fellowship
with the parti. That vas generally
regarded as "spite-work.'' Since the
announcement of senat committees
and Howe appears as the chairman of
the committee op railroads, his ac
cusers point a scornful finger, and ex
ultingly exclaim, "J told you so."'
But then if Howo pledged his con
stituents in Nemaha, if elected, to
"gut the d d railroads," he is now
needs nothing said in his behalf. He
is one of the Iivliest chaps in tbe
State. They "busted" Dan. Wheeler
for chief clerk of the Senate. "Cus
sedness" whioh has always character
ized Casa county, politically, did that
little thing. They act on the "dog in
the manger" theory in Kass "If I
can't obtain this, no other fellow in
this couuty shall have it."
There is a very decided feeling
evinced here by those from all parts
of tbe State to "set down" on lawless
ness. Judge Gaslin baa won golden
opinions, for the manner in which he
has brought the western desperadoes
iutocourt. Now let Judge Pound do
as well in his district, and see that
the Otoe county outrages do not go
unuoticed. The whole State should
show its band in favor of law and
order. Silas.
