ft A. All PLATISMO'JTH NEBRAKSA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 25. 1872. "TIIIEVES AXD ROBBER- The Omaha Herald, of this morning, contains the following paragraph : "It 13 idle to argue with public robbers against the crime of grand larceny. For this reason, we decline all further ap peals to the Forty Thieves to spare this people." The Herald has hceome so accustomed to the use of such terms as "thieves" and "robbers," that it uses them indis criminately, and applies them to all per sona who may chance to entertain views different from its own. In the above it designates the entire Legislature as "rol bera" and "the Forty Thieves. " While we may agree with the Herald that there is much cause for complaint against the present Legislature, and we doubt not there are dishonest and cor rupt men among them, aad possibly men who have sold their votes on different questions, yet we believe there are as honest men in-that body as can be found in the State, and it is unjust and un gentlemanly to class them as '"robbers" and "thieves." If the Herald knows of any individual cases of dishonesty, let it report them, with the facts in connec tion therewith, and every true man in the State will endorse its action ; but while it continues to charge indiscrimin ately, every true man in the State should condemn it, as we doubt not they do. So far the Herald has made but four ex ceptions to its general charge, and they are excepted in but a single instance, The excepted persons are ReiJ, of Omaha, Hudson, of P'atte, and Over ton and Munn, of Otoe. From the reading of that paper one would suppose, if he believed its statements, that every other member of the Nebraska Legisla ture was a common thief and a highway robber. ABOITSABT PROCEEDINGS). The Omaha papers of this morning contain special dispatches from the capi tal, stating that acting Got. James would adjourn the Legislature to-day if they did not themselves pass an adjourn ment resolution. The following i3 the clause in the constitution under which he claims the authority to adjourn that body: "In case of a disagreement between the two houses in respect to the time of adjournment, he (the Governor) thail have power to adjourn the Legislature to such time as he may think proper, but not bevonJ th regular meetings thereof." While we fully believe the present session will accomplish no good for the State, and is likely to do it much harm, we fail to see wherein the acting Govern or derives any authority for the arbitrary method of stopping their proceedings which hts contemplates. By a careful reading of the abbVe clause, it will be seen that the Governor only has this power granted him in cases when the two houses disagree as to the time of adjournment," and not when they may refuse to adjourn because they desire to continue a session. As we understand the present case it is not a disagreement as to "the time of adjournment," but it is a refusal of the majority to accede to the wishes of a minority and pass a reso lution of adjournment, without day. As we understand it, the Legislature does not contemplate an adjournment to any particular time, but contemplates a sine die adjournment as soon as they have completed their business. Should it be held that the Governor has the posrer, under the above clause, to adjourn them, it must then be admitted that any ac tion by the Governor in that direction involves another session of this same Legislature which is certainly not de sirable by either the members or the people for he has no power to adjourn them except to a specified time. An ad journment to a specified time would au thorize a session at that time, with full power3 for general legislation. Taking interpretation of the above clause that it gives the Governor the power to set the time tdien the Legislature phall ad journ (and not the period "o" adjourn ment, as it would seem to read) it ap pears to us that the acting Governor steps beyond the bonds of his authority to attempt an arbitrary adjournment un til the two houses have actually "disa greed" as to the time, by the usual par liamentary form of disagreement, and not simply refuted to adjourn. The usual forms to be gone through to con stitute a "disagreement" would be that each house should pass a resolution of adjournment, thereby designating that they desire to adjourn, but different views as to the time when they should adjourn. After each house has refused, by its of ficial action, to agree to the time asked by the other house, then committees of conference are appointed. If these committees fail to agree, they so report If they do agree, 'then comes the ques tion of agreement before each house, and if either or both refuse to abide by the adjustment agreed upon by the com mittees, then, an d not till then, is it con sidered that there is a "disagreement be tween the two houses." If we adopt tho theory of acting Governor James, that he may adjourn the Legislature be cause they reuse to adjourn themselves we set a very dangerous precedent ; for under that view a Governor might ad joura a Lcgifclature on the first or 6ee onl day of its session, if some one would only introduce a resolution of ad journment end the two houses would re fuse to pass it. : St. A. D. Balcombe is out in another card over his own signature, in which he "salts" our friend Thomas, slightly.'; He says he does not endorse ths course of the Republican on the Alexis question, but what he more especially, "reaches for" is the slander upon Got, and Mrs. Saunders, and' a much esteemed lady guest of theirs at the time the Duke was in Omaha, and a guest at the residence Cf Gov. Saunders!; " I 1. ill iioii A PLUS DUTX. There is one duty devolving upon the present Eession of the Legislature in re gard to which they have as yet taken no action, neither have we seen or heard it urged by any paper or person in the State. Nevertheles it is a duty, made so by the constitution, and every interest of the State demands that it should bi at tended to. We refer to the filling of the vacancy in the oCc of the Chief Exe cutive, caused by the Impsachment of Gov. Rutlor. Section 16, of Article 2, entitled "Executive," reads as follows.' Site. 16. In ca-e of tho impeachment of the Governor, his removal from cfSee, dciith, resignation, or absence from the State, the powers and duties of the ofiice shall devolve upon tho Serctary of State, until fcuch disability shall cease, or the vacancy be filled. It is perfectly plain that this section only contemplates that the Secretary of State shall perform the duties of the of fice of Governor until there is an oppor (unity to fill the vacancy, and not that he shcild be compelled to perform the duties of both oiSces until a general elec tion shall relieve him of both. Wc think this proposition is sufficiency plain that "he who runs may read," and ho who read?, cannot fail to understand. The next question that arises is, how shall this vacancy bs filled ? In turning to the Constitution again, we Slid that Sec. 31, cf Article 2, entitled "Legis lative," reads as follows: Sec. 31. The Legislature may declare the cncs in which any office thall be declared vacant, and also tbe manner of clung tlic vacancy where no provision is made for that purpose in this Constitu tion. The first part of this section sives the Legislature power to 'declare the cases in which any office bLall be deemed va cant." The office of Governor has al ready became vacant by the Impeach ment of Gov. But!er. honca it requires no declaration. The remainder of the Sec. gives the Legislature the authority to say how this vacancy shall be filled, "where no provision is made for that purposo the purpose of filling in this Constitution." There is "no provision made" in the Constitution fl-r filling such vacancy, hence it is the plain duty of the legislature to "declare the man ner" in which it shall be done. They may "declare" that it shall be done by a special election, or they may "declare" that the two houses shall meet ia joint convention at a specified time for such purpose; or they may provide, or "de clare" any other "manner of filling the vacancy;" Lut it is clearly their consti tutional prerogative and duty to make some provision, and that, too, before the man who fills the position tempo rarily shall assume to adjourn them by authority of a less distinct clause in the same constitution. " Tittwii siiLtt. Rclo, Neb., Jan. 10, 1ST2. Editors Herald : Having lived in Nebraska some ten year, I feel an inte test in her general prosperity. I have visited during the last eight weeks many localities between the Platte river and Kansas line, acd from the Missouri river to a hundred miles interior; and while noting the rapid growth of all our into rior towns, aud the slovcer development of our river points, I have been wonder ing what circumstances cause the differ ence in relation to each assumed fact And now I wish to pea a few reflections fur the consideration of any concerned ; and if my remarks appear dietatory to the citizens of our river counties from the Kansas line to Plattsmouth, your correspondent reminds them that he is a resident on the river, and not of the in terior. It is assumed that the river counties are losing a golden opportunity by failing to secure a lin-3 of railroad along the river. It is cause of surprise to see the apparent indifference towards a matter so intimately connected with the future prosperity of these counties. I fear our people are awaiting the return of the wave of prosperity that passed over them years in the past, without reflect in x that there ' is no flattering prospect of its return, Eeeing it has passed with many of its causes to the interior of the State, where citizens now enjoy its bene fits. In the past the river points were the monied circles, and all the buiincss in Nebraska revolved around them. Real estate changed hands more rapidly. The immigrants invested their moneys and commenced developing their farms and city property, while the merchants sold them goods and the mechanics built them houses. While this work contin ues graduall' with u., it must be admit ted that the interior of our State com mands it more. Business centres are rapidly multiplying- in Nebraska, espe cially in the second and third tiers of counties, and while we must not deplore this, it is well to wake up to tl fact that they are outstripping us. WhSla we should do nothing to retard their growth, we must avail ourselves of ad vantages that will increase ours. If the interests in the interior of our State attract more attention than the in terests in our first counties, then these counties should create new interests. Let tbe Trunk Railroad be a thing in existence, instead of an imagination ! Let our river counties see, as they may, that this is their present great advantage. Let liberal offers be made by each river county, to some company, or capitalists, and a new company formed, that they may see that these counties mean busi ness, and desire the road, and it will be built at once. If Otoe county had voted bonds to tbe read, when Cas?, Nemaha, and Richardson did, this road would now be building and our prospects would be brightening. It is claimed that Otoe county never rejected bonds to the Trunk Road, hav ing never voted on a direct proposition from the company. This may be, but she has done something that looks very much that way, and gets tho credit of hindering a vital interest. Tbe Atchison and Nebraska railroad, now running to Ru'o, ia this. State, thence to Table Rock, aad trending via Tecumsch and Lincoln, is an untold ad vantage to river points in Kansas, and is destined to do much for interior Nebras ka. Yet Cass, Otoe, Nemaha and Rich ardson counties, may 6ee if they will that when it connects at Lincoln with the B. & M. R. R., which will soon tap the U. P. R. R. at Kearney thus making direct connections with the U. P. and all points southeast that freights and pas sengers from the direction of St. Louis to the great west and vire versa will pass over those line;, designedly avoiding those portions of our State where trav eling facilities are incomplete. It is a well known fact that business circles, and the traveling public, avoid all transfers possible, and seek through lines, wiih bridge connections. This road would tive that advantage, and at the same time connect each river county with the great southeastern trade. These coun ties have each aided roads running west, but they will never feel the advantage of Each aid until th?y secure a road along the river, formir.j connection with these western roads. They did a good thing when they secured these roads; but to stop here, i doing like the man who builds the body of his house but omits tho roof because it will cost him mor, thus deriving no fstendod Lt'tjeGt cf moneys invested, because of the incom pleteness of hi3 struct ura. The offer of bonds Richardson county voted .to this road will have run out about the fourteenth of next month, and it is now doubted whether the will re new the offer, as fome are anxious to se cure an eastern outlet. If anything is to be done by citizens cf these counties, they should move at ence. Let liberal offers bo made to pome coir.p.'my, uninterested in the K. C. St. & C. B. We should nor wait for men with larso interests ia that road to assist in building a competing road. The rea sons with seme why this roa-i should not now be built becoma to us the reasons why it should be built. South Nebraska has four or live rail roads, trending westward. Where and when will the have one running south? Our people u little west of U3 will soon answer this question. If wo wait till interior Nebraska builds us this road when will we get it? If we wait till competing interests set it moving, how long must we wait ? If we wait till we can get it without liberal aid, energy, determination and action, when will we get it ? A. J. Swabts. Neb. City Correspondence. Deah Herald : Whilst 1 am pen ning these few lines the town is in an uproar of excitement over the parage of the bill doing away with the ''Board of Education" in this city. An indignation meeting was held at tho Court House this evening. B. J. Newsome, ex-member of the Con. Con ventiun was chosen chairman, and Mr. Bittinger secretary. Speeches were made by Hon. O. P. Mason. 31. L. Hay ward, lloyal Buck, J. S. Morton, Judge Miner and others denouncing the amend ment of the School act in regard to Ne braska city. Resolutions were passed and petitions signed by numerous citizens for the re peal of the law. A committee consist ing of the pastors of the several chur ches and a. arty cf the most prominent men of the city have been appointed to proceed at once to Lincoln and induce the Legislature to repeal the said law. Although much has been done to-day to create excitement against this bill, the community seem to be about equally divided in regard to it. Many denoun cing, others upholding Hon. J. B. Seho field as the father of the bill. Your correspondent's opinion is, that they are making a terrible uproar about nothing. If tho Board cf Education have never received any thing for their arduous (?) duties, they ought not to complain of being relieved from them. Webster Eaton, of the Red Oak Ex press is here trying to induce a sufficient number of our business men to engage in the hazardous enterprise of buryiug the Daily Chronicle. I think Waters will attesid and officiate as principal pall-bearer should the Red Oak man launch his bark on these very deep and turbulent Waters. I say, as a citizen and tax-pay ercf thi3 principality, that the Chronicle is a better paper than its citizens de serve and the man who thinks it is not, had better wade in.

The man repeated the insult, and Anna called the conductor, who heard the statements of both parties. Anna put in her feet in evidence, and tbe conductor decided the man must have somewhere to put his feet, and told Auua that she should in future wear hers sideways. Tliat's the truth of the whole matter. Chica go 1'ust.

One of the great faults in modern manners is the h.;bit of undue and iui proper familiarity. Some of the clever est of men fall into the w-sy of squeez ing hands in the most violent mannf-r, of slapping even their seniors on tbe back, and in other rude modes empha sizing their familiarity and assuming a close proximity ct pTsou quite un comfortable to persons of good breeding and taste. Others again have au offens ive and familiar habit of nimr profani ties, displaying a knowledge of intimate and strictly private matters whi'.h one would scarcely care to have known to one's particular friends, much less the subject of rude and unmannerly conver sation by comparative strangers.
