THE ArFOIlTlONJIEXT
During the last session of the Terri
torial Legiilature the question of a new
apportionment attracted no 'ittle atten
tion and caused no little feeling in the
Legislative Hulls and throughout the
State. It was supposed by many that
unless the apportionment was made be
fore com in? in as a State, it would

This opinion was entertained by many
of our prominent men, yet we have no
hesitancy in pronouncing it erroneous
and think we shall be able not only to
show it erroneous, but that a new ap
portionment is contemplated and com-
felled by the Constitution. Section 3.
article second, of the Constitution reads
as follows:
S3 The lefrislature shall provide
bylaw for an enumeration ot the in-
. " . -
habitants of the btate in the year one
. 1 . L . I 1 J I .

thereatter; ana at meir nrsi aeisiou ai-
ter such enumeration, and also after
arh enumeration made by th& author-
ity of the United Stutes, the Legisla-
ture shall apportion ana autnci anew
the members of the Senate and House
of Renresentatives. according to the
number of inhabitants, excluding Indi-
, ,a t,a .olrtior,. ary A ..fSner.
nf th United States armv and navv.
- 1 j
Now bear in mind that this provides
for an apportionment at the next ses-
sien after the year 1875 and every ten
years thereafter, but says nothing about
the intervening time from now until

5 5. The Senators and Representa-
lives shall be chosea by districts of con-
venient contiguous territory, as compact
as may be, to be defined by law, ex-
cept as to the first election which is
hereinafter provided for.
It will be observed that after the first
J J
election which is provided for in the
schedule te the Constitution, we have
no authority of Itw for saying what
shall constitute a Senate or Represen
tative district until we hare some legis
lative action upon the subject. The
Constitution says "the Senators and
Represeatatires shall be chosen by dis
tricts of convenient contiguous territory,
as compact as may be, to be defined by
law, except a3 to the first election, which
is hereinafter provided for." When
are these districts to be "defined by
law?" are we to wait until 1S75 before
they are defined ? If it was the intent
of the Constitution that the old appor
tionment should remain unchanged un
til lS7o, why does it say that the Sena
tors and Represntatives shall be cho
sen from certain districts to be "defined
bylaw." and then say "except the first
election which it afterwards provides
shall be in accordance with the appor
tionment under Territorial rule. We
see no other way of doing thaa to have
the next session of the Legislature "de
fine by law" our Senatorial and Rep
resentative districts, even heu!d they
see fit to do nething more than legalize
the e!d districts.

SOME CHEEK.."
The greatest exhibition of "cheek"

a few words in a rfecent number of the

ary and on election day in Omaba are I
not classed as such by that bigh-toned,
moral, religious, Democratic, mob-justi-
fying journal. We should be chary of
taking its say-so '.hat a country or city
was peaceable acd orderly so long as it
was known to class such performances
as law abiding and civil. One would
suppose the editor of that journal was
accustomed to the society of a pretty
rough class of men whr-n he comes out
in the face of hundred of witnesses
who are honorab.e and upright men.
and says "there have been no mobs in
.... i
Omaha. But ao; we will be more
charitable, and jbelieve that this denial
Ljoes not arise altogether from a per-
Terted nature or from any particular
Hesjre to advocate and encourage mobs;
bu. from the fac, that the Herald is in
ratner a close place, and is afraid to
&e position either for or against the
mob spjrjt which dominates in Omaha.
ye sinCerely pity the man who has not
me moral courage to denounce such ac
tl0DS as hare bej;a witnessed in Omaha
on the above-mentioned occasions, yet

it may be unjust to believe that he real-

A denial of tbe existence of such a

agement to it; and we may expect mob

IMPORTANT.
The owner of a valuable property, bine redno -by
the war to poverty, is not able to carry on bis
business, and deires to fell half or all for cash, or
part In desirable lands in Nebraska, In the vicinity
of Plattsmouth preferred.
The property lies S miles west of Gainesville Junc
tion, Mississippi, which Is on the Mobile k Ohio R.B.
la Kemper county, Misi., and coneista in brief, a
follows :
1120 acres or Land, 400 cleared, but only 200 in
ctitivaon this year fine cotton and corn land.
Wator Gin, which will very probably nett from
l ftto to tl.500 this year.
Fine Merchant Mills, which make the best of flour
and meal, and run by water.
We have to haul grain shipped from the west only
five miles, and this will cost less than fuel will cost
a steam mill, and hence we can ship grain from the
west and more than compete with them in grinding
wheat or corn. There is a vast region west of this to
be auppiisd with imported grain every year, and es
pecially this year, and our location is superior. The
Mills are just built, and with capital to purchase
grain could make from $5,000 to S 000 this year
With a partner in the west to purchase grin no bet
ter speculation can be found.
With a little expense a Saw-Mill can be attached.
Lumber tiO per 1000 feet. Worth thousands per
annum. Farming on these lands is very profitable.
