The reform movement of a year go
has roucht forth the present legislative
fruits. Let us have a straight party
content, and make each member account
able to fomc oi:e for his conduct. Th
hope of being in favor of some scheme
or clique, moves many legislators to do
sets which would damn them in their
own party: Chronicle.
There are two hundred and forty-cine
newspapers published in the State of
Iowa. Of them 153 are Republican,
38 are Democratic, 25 with politics un
known, and 4 are neutral don t know
where tht y be'onp. Four are education
al, 3 literary, 3 religious 1 Li.-toric-il, 1
horticultural, 1 agricultural, 1 temper
ance, 1 legal, 1 claims to be "patriotic,"
1 goes in fi r reform, 1 devotes itself to
real estate, 1 Masonic, 7 are Germa i, 2
Bohemian, and 1 Norwegian.
Fremont, Nebraska, is doing every
thing in its power in warding off tmall
pos from their city. Children are rot
allowed to atteni the public school who
have not ccn vaccinated within the last
six months.
The school heard also invito all chil
dren to cotbe forward and be vaccinated
free of charge.
Thi action on the part of Fremont is
timely and it would be well for Platts
mouth to imitate her ejcaniplj.
Fr;m a private despatch from Lincoln
this morning, we are aro informed that
both Houses of the Legislature adjourn- ;
cd last night at 11 o'clock, in accordance
with a joint resolution heretofore passed.
They were net able to transact any bus
iness for the want of a quorum, and the
best and only thing for them to do was
to adjourn in an orderly and decent way
and go home. The preseufc Legislature
was elected, to a great extent, as a re
form body, reform or people'tj ticket, run
ning and succeeding in most of the river
counties, and independent candidates in
some of the others. Whether the re--.v.!t
has been mScicntly EatiRfactory to
the people, we leave them to decide, lut
in vL'W of the fart that the Democratio
press of the State are urging the peeplo
to again adopt this p'tin, it might be
well to enquire whether the first experi
ment will not cur9 them of trying an
other. At a session of Grand Lodge of I. O.
G. T., held at Lincoln, January 17th,
the following were elected as officers for
tho ensuing year :
Representatives to the U. W. Grand
Lodge of the Wot Id : C. L. Bristol and
Julio M. Thurston.
G. V. C. T. J. M. Yearnvhaw.

Gov. Alvin Saunders, President of
Nebraska Slate Bank, at Omaha, has
established a Lank at 112 and 114,
Broadway! New York, under the fit m
came of Saunders, Hardeuberg & King.
Tlie Rev. George C. Betta, formerly
Rector of St. Luke's Church in this city,
has accepted a cal to act as special
agent for tho Society for the increase of
the Ministry, aa old arid well known or
ganization. He will probably be located at Hart
ford, Conn.
Before leaving Omaha he was present
ed by Col. C. S. Ch?e, en behalf of
Mt. Crlvary Commandry of Knights
Templars, with a purse containing the
sum oc $235, a "gift of the Sir Knights
as a token cf their appreciation of his
merits and services.
Mrs. Betts was presented with a purse
containg $60 by the ladies of the church.
Both of these gifts wero entirely un
locked for. We gather the above from
a communication in the Omaha Uce,
which closes as follows :
During the evening, the choir boys of
St. Barnabas sang some of " their choicest
selections for the company, and acquit
ted themselves to their great credit, and
the admiral iou of their audience.
At a late hour the company dispersed;
but after the midnight etill hour, the
choir boys and a large number of the
parishioners gathered outside the Rec
nry rtnd sang a last farewell. First, the
oAoct btiaiuo oS' "O, l'ara disc. O, Para
dise:" then, "A pant the Heart." fol
liiwd by other selectious. The Rector
baving invitvd the party in, they gath
ered around hita and sang some of those
tunes which from irpqnent use in the
church had become endeared to a'l.
Then all kneeling, the Lord's prayer wis
said for the last time, and tho faithful
priest standing with his much loved flock
around him gave them his farewell bene
diction, the blessing of peace that
"peace which pas.seth all understanding."
While the s-ears come and go, bringing
change and oblivion to many events of
the past, we doubt if there was one
there at that time who will forget the
solemnity of thai hour and scene.
A demure looking chap hailed a char
coal peddler with th query, "have you
got charcoal in your wagon?" "Yeasir,"
said the expectant driver, ftoppinr his
horses "That' s rieht," ' observed the
demure chap, with an approving nod ;
"always tell the truth, and people will
respect you!" And he haTicd on,
much to the regret of the peddler, who
was getting out of hia wagon to look for
a brick.
OUR FILLMOflE LETTER.
) v.: i i,
, ; HESrEMA, Jan. 22. ' .
: Editors Herald: We . have often
racked our conceptive faculty on the how
and tchy of the tuccess of the many
hundreds that are every month fettling
in our State.
AVe tee men who have labored ha'd
all their past lives to procure a bare sub
bistance for theu.dves and family, come
to Nebraska, take a little S ) acre home
stead, and in a vry few years we see
ihcru in ofiluect ciicum-itances. We see
young men whose business operations in
eastern States have alwtysbeena failure,
or at least, come far below their expec
tations, tome to NvilrasVa and in almost
incredible sh rt time, they are iu b au
tiful "iron fronts" doing an exceedingly
prosperous business. We believe we
have arrived ac the truth, philosophic
ally, in the premises A you;;g rr.aa
starting out in business i i an eastern
State, unless born ii.;b..has to contend
with mone3-ed monopolists, a powerful
current of aristocratic influences, which
are ever flowing in opposition to his ear
nest and energetic eti'orts to attaia place
and position in society. He must, if he
would rise, sail ia, dress, work, and play
by the rules and regulations of the old
puritan craft, whose calvanistio creed
condemns a man to eternal infamy, whose
paternal acres and personal "rocks" are
not sufficiently broad and hefty to entitle
him to the esteem cf the "puritanio
blue noses," who for acts of ludeness
have denuded a poor friendless gill and
whipped her in the public streets, who
have enacted laws to tafce a poor man's
only cow to pay the fixed salary of the
pari.-h priest, and to whip beer barrels
for working en Sunday. There the far
mer grubs among tho stumps and rock
bound hills, with his cast iron plowshare
and hand hoe, until driven by despera
tion to forsake those old, wornout, bleak
hillsides, which are only dv-ar to hi in cn
account of early associations, and s ck a
heme on the prairies of the. west. W7hen
passing through the adhesiv"e clay of
Ohio, the swamps and forests of Michi
gan, and tha black, fitb.coalejs mud of
Illinois, he is fearful lest he has jumped
out of the fiying pan into the fire. But
when he stands upon the rich produc
tive prairies of Nebraska, breathes her
pure,li'e giving, soul-reviving air.be feels
that he is an American citizen, endowed
with God given rights, and boldly walks
into the U. S. Land oface and claims his
birth-right, nc locates this right on
ICO acres of the bet land the great God
ever made. Now no favor &ways, and
no fear awes him. Ho starts out on a
cash system C. O. D. is his pass word.
He feels he ha3 broken tho fetters that
Lave bound him so lor.g ; he has eman
cipated himself, wife and childicn from
superstitious, bigoted rnouey bloated,
New ICngland servitude her pestilential
breath uo longer taints the air he breathes,
lie turns up the soil of his r.ew home
stead and finds untold wealth; he looks
ahead and sees a bright and glorious fu
ture before hiai. His children, with
earnest, eager hearts, grasp knowledge,
rcspcctabiliny, wealth aud posision. As
he sits beneath his own vine and fig-tree,
surrounded by his blight, iutel'igen,
happy family, aud looks out over his
broad fields of hay and grain his large
flocks and herds thanks, like holy in
cense, rise from the neat altar of his
heart, to the great Author of all these
rich blessings. Hero, upon these broad
prairios, one seems to draw in with the
pure air he breathes, b.oad, expansive
views, high and noble aspirations, new
life and vigor, cew hopes aa 1 energies.
Raised above the dead, stilling, miasmat
ic atmosphere, which fads like the pall of
death over those crowded eastern States,
we feel like other beings the soul seems
trcatch uew Ztsal, and burns with purer
light and loftier desire.. When once
ia Nebraska the plodding days of ox
teams and one horse outfits have passed,
and railroad trains runs too slow for the
spirit of enterprise which pervade the
people, and thi new settler catches the
spirit of progression, "falls into lim,''
and advances with the tame rapidity,
from penury, to affluence save the
sleepy souls, in whose sluggish carcasses
there is not sufficient life and energy to
prompt them to move on with the tide
cf progressand development ; those boon
KOon sell cut to wide-awake men, and
crying s-o u-r g-r a-p-e-s, start back to
"Indeanne" cr some other seaport,
where "their wife's relation have plenty
of sow belly and com dodders."

ernor in preserving order and peace.
Nth. City ChronUle.
Just such a paragraph as the above is
calculated to do more harm to our State
than all the praise the Clironicie can
give it in a year. The idea going abroad
that the Governor was compelled to call
out the miiitia from different parts of the
Stat8 to "preserve order and peace" in
consequence of the a Legislature of the
State being in session, is a fine thing to
end broadcast to the world, and that,
too, when the editor of the Chronicle
must have known, if he knew anything
about it, that a more civil Legislature
was never in session anywhere in the
world than was our Mebraska Legislature
at that very moment In fact, the only
thing tht could have been distorted,
by the most disordered mind, into any
thing like disorder, was the arbitrary
withdrawal of six of the Senators. This
action was arbitrary and illegal, we ad
mit, but when any newspaper intimates
that it was in any manner riotous, it
certainly docs so without any facts to
base the assertion upon. We are sorry
to see this disposition manifested by our
formerly truthful neighbor, and trust it
will endeavor to correct the false impres
sion its item may have created. It is a
fact that not a man from any part of the
State, went to Linwln, or contemplated
any such action, with a view to checking
any disorderly conduct, and that far less
than the usual number of lookers on
were present at the capital during the
time alluded to. These things do not
matter so much in the State, whore ev

APP03TI0SHEST BILL.
The Congressional apportionment bill
reported to the United States Senate
Tuesday, provides that from and after
the 3d of March, 1S73, the House of
Representatives shall consist of 212 mem
ber, to be apportioned among the seve
ral States as follows :
M.tne 4 Kentucky, 8
New Hampshire, HjTeonessie, b
Vermont, 2i Indiana, II
Massachusetts, 9 Illinois, IS
Rhode Bland, lMisiori, 11
Connecticut, 3j Arkansas, 3
New Yoik, Sj Michigan, 7
New Jersey, 6; Florida, 1
Pennsylvania, 2 Texas, 5
Delaware, l;bwa, S
Maryland, 5 Wisconsin, 7
Virginia, 8 California, 4
North Carolina, 7 Minnesota, 3
South Carolina, 4jOrcg. n, 1
Georgia, 8;Kauas . 2
Alabama, C(Urest Virginia, 3
Mississippi, 5,Nevad, 1
Louisiana, 5' Nebraska, 1
Oah. 17i
Provided, that if, after su'-h appor
tionment shall have been mad, any uew
State shall be admitted into the Union,
the Representative or Representatives cf
such new State shall ba added to the
number 243 herein limited. It also pro
vides that no State shall hereafter bead
mitted to the Union without having the
necessary population to entitle it to at
leat one Representative, according to
the ratio of represention fixed by this
bill.' Should any State aftur the' passage
of the act deny or abridge the right of
any of the male inhabitants cf such
State, being 21 years of ag, and citizens
of the United States, to vote at any
election named in the Constitution, Ar
ticle 14, Section 1, except for participa
tion in rebellion or other crime, tho
number of representatives apportioned
n this act to such State shall be reduced
in the proportion which tho number of
such male citizans shall bear to the whole
nuuibcr of male citizens 21 years of age
i:i such State.
By this bill tho number cf the mem
bers of the House is net increased, and
hence it will meet with ferious o posi
tion from th" New England and Middle '
States, because it decreases their nu- j
merical strength : whereas, by the bil
passed by the House, providing for 231 !
members, these States retain their nu
merical, if Dot their relative strength, in
the House of Representatives, which is
the chif object to b obtained in in
creasing the number of members. A
special to the Chicago Tribune says the
Senate bill reported, "was rather to get
the matter before the Senate than r.n ex
pression of the piosition of the commit
tee. Its chances in its present form are
very doubtful in tho Senate, and it is al
most su:e to fail if scut to the Hcuse, as
the latter body will insist upon its bill.
There are strong indications that the
Senate may so amend the bill "reported
from the Committee as to bring it nearer
to the House measure, aud in this course
wiil ba favored by several members of
tho Senate Committee."
We are glad to learn, as we do by way
of a letter from Assistant P. 31 , J. T.
Allan, of Omaha, that tho reason for the
non-arrival cf the Omaha papers is not
in -consequence of any mismanagement
in that office, (we were careful not to
charge that, remembering the fate cf
the editor cf the lice,) but that it is ow
inc to the negligenoe probably, of the
mail agent on the K C, St. Joe & Coun
cil Bluffs road. All right, Allan, we
take ours without sugar.
The Central Star says mail service is
badly needed between Howard, the pre
ent terurinu8of the B. & M., aud Ft.
Kearney.
