The Nebraska C y Chronicle ayg :
"The conference wi the County Com
tuissloners yesterday pyas an interesting
affair. The people f.pm all parts of the
country were presents cl a general cut
cussion ensued, a fall report of which
will be found elsewhere in our eolumns.
One idea prevailed, except in the case of
a few individuals, that is we must have
railroads and all other public improve
ments which are necessary to building
up cities and cocatr.es.
At the meeting spoken of above, there
was a very full ' attendance of delegates
Irom toe aiL. .renc Dreoiacis oi too coua-i
ty, and a vote of the county piecincts
showed thirty delegates ia favor of call-
in? an election, and fourteen against.
Ths cLy was unanimous for the call.
4 'The Commissioners annouced that
, they would take the petition and report
from the Drccioets under advisement.
and meet azain in the Court House on
Tucsdav. February 20th. at 2 o clock P.
M.. and render their decision whether
they would call a special election or not
COLFAX OB WII.SOW.
We said that in case of the withdraw
al as announoed of Mr. Colfax from
political life, Senator Wilson would be a
strong and if nominated ly the Na
tional Republican Contention in whote
hands the whole matter is to he left a
Terr acceptable candidate to the lte-
publioan party for which he had done so
much and of which lie had so long
been a most efficient and influential lead
er. C. B. Thonuis, in Omah Repub-
uenn.
The above ia in reply to an assertion
on our part that Mr. Thou.as favored
the nomination of Senator Wilson instead
of Mr. Colfax for the vice-Presidency,
which Mr. Thomas now denies. The
above is a part of what Thomas raid
upon the subject, but not all. He fur
ther said, in the same article, that he
raw no "good reason why the people
should not take Mr. Colfax at his word
when he declined office. If this is not the
exact language, will Mr. Thomas give
his readers exactly what he did say upon
that point. He certainly said enough
to convicco every sane mau who read
his article that bo favored the nomina
tion of Senator Wilson over that f Mr.
Colfax. If we are mistaken many of the
leading .papers of the country are also
mistaken in Mr. Thomas's position, for
they all understood his article as we did.
TIIOSB CABBIXES.
So much has been said by the Omaha
press in regard to thosa carbines shipped
to Lincoln, recently, it seems but fair
that the public should know the truth.
These guns had been sent to Omaha
for the use of the guards there, but be
ing unserviceable, they were to bo re
turned to Lincoln, of tho Staia Arsenal
sad were shipped to acting Governor
James. There was no connection be
tween them and the meeting of the
Legislature, tnd the effort to make capi
tal by publishing statements injurious to
tho State, is reprehensible in the ex
tremo. The lying reports seat out from
Nebraska have done us more harm t'jan
all the truthful statements made in the
next twelve months ean eerrect.
A CONSTITUTIONAL. L1WTKB.
1 ne umana Tribune nns discovered a
new clause in the Constitution and has
now come to tba conclusion that Gov
ernor James can decide on what subjects
tho Legislature shall legislate on, after
they meet.
Of course he won't object to their tak
ing action on the following subjects:
3rd. To declare tho cases in which
any office shall be deemed vacant and
also too manner ot nuing the vacancy
where no provision is made for that pur
pose in the Constitution. 4th. Ibe m-
vettigation of the official conduct of any
state officer and if deemed exneJientthe
impeachment of any such officer for mis
demeanor in omce.
Supt Sickela is out in the Omaha pa
pert this morning in a long letter giving
the situation of the enow blockade on
the U. P., in which bo says :
The road is now open from Omaha to
Laramie, distance Sva hundred and seventy-two
miles : and from Wash-a-kie to
Ogden, distance two hundred and twen
ty-eight miles. The obstruction are be
tween Waah-a-kie and Laramie, embrac
ing the divide of the continent, being
one hundred and seventy-nino miles.
There are now seven west-bound pas
Fenger trains detained near Separation,
which is twenty-nine miles distant from
the western boundary ot the blockade :
an 1 there are two east-bound passenger
t ains at Ureen ICiver waiting until the
west-bound trains shall pass the block
ade. At various points alone the road
there are about eight hundred cars of
west bound freight and about two hun
dred ears of freight east-bound.
The Boston Traveler announces the
disoovery and praotioal application of a
t-tct ot inucn interest to ail who use sta
tionary engines. It hf s been found that
tbe waste steam from one eneiot can be
used to heat the boiler of another if it

boiler is obtained by passing the waste
steam through its flues, and it is filled
with a volatile liquid mainly composed
of the bisulphate of carbon, which boils
at 1:10 rahrenheit, and at tho tempera
ture ot exhaust steam gives a pressure
in the boiler or sixty pounds to the inch
The vapor formed in this boiler is used
to drive the second engine instead of

From Tkurtdaj't Daily.
To-day is the time fixed by the proe.
lamation of Governor Hascall for the
meeting of the Legislature, and as come
of the members perhaps a queruia
have already gone to the capital, we de
Eire to briefly rericw the situation, and
present the matter in a fair and candid
light to our readers. Acting Governor
James brcarne Governor by virtue of
his office as Secretary of State upon the
impeachment of David Butler, but when
Gov. James leaves the State, for no mat
ter what purpose, that minute his func
tions as Governor cease, and the Presi
dent of the Senate becomes the acting
Governor until his return.
The Constitution provides who shall
be Gowrnor in bis absence, and any ar
rangement with the'rivate Sacretary as
to peifoncipg dut'.ss which tho Govern
cr alone could perform, doe3 not change
m j .ucitcr .u uu icsu juokiwsu,
and the whole question is settled, for no
one will, probably, disputa the fact that
Governor Jain:s could if ho saw fit, call
as extra session ; if eo, Senator Hascall,
acting Governor of ths State, having all
the power of James in his absence,
could just as legally make the call, and
the binding effect would bo the.same.
If the no-fibers of the Legisla
ture regard Scuater Ilascall's call as le
gal, ther will be a meeting of that
body'to-day ; though in all probability
very many will remain away.
If legislation is to be done, the whole
Legislature, and not a part, should be
there, to see that no doubtful measures
pass, and if possible do something to re
lieve the State from the stigma fastened
on it by the disgraceful acts of the past
scsskn.
Legislation upon some of the matters
expressed in the call, is unquestionably
needed : and the fast that the Legisla
ture did not attend to the wants of the
people, does not lessen their importance
ow.
As to the wisdom or propriety of
making the call, there may be some ques
tion ; but as to it3 legality we think
thBre can be none.
The right to revoke, we think, is still
more questionable, and it tne state
could be relieved by the Legislature of
some of the odium that surrounds the
office of Governor, thus far, at least,
their acts would be endorsed.
What they may do at Lincoln to-day,
no man can even guess ; but it it be
good the people will "endorse ; if bad,
they will as swiftly condemn, and the
present Legislature will pais out of sight,
and history will record the fact that re-
form inaugurated two years ago has borne
its fruits.
LKTTXKS FEIOH THK PEOPLE.
Eldsxd, Neb., Feb. 12, 1872.
jiriend llATHAWAT : in your issue
of the 8th hist., I find a suggestion
"that C. B. Thomas, Editor of the
"Triblican" should, in order to remove
any doubts of his Republicanism, place
at the head of its editorial colums,
standing notice, that "the editor of this
paper is a Republican."
The suggestion reminds me of a reli
gious anecdote that occurred severs
years smco, near the Hub. A pious
brother, imbued with zeal, "prayed that
God would bless his dear people, and
pour out his holy spirit upon them unti
there should not be room to contain it.'
An Irishman present whispered to his
neighbor "why, that would bo a waste.
So in the case of the aforesaid editor :
I think that such a notice would be a
sheer wae of ink, as no one at all ac
quainted with the course of the Iribli-
can, under his editorial management
would for a moment be deceived by it.
On the contrary, they would still vouch
that he "looked like a Democrat, smclled
like a Democrat, and by G d, he must
be a Democrat"
LIBERTY OP THE PRESS VI LICENTIOUS
NE53 OP TUE PRES3.
Ia coatrovertiog the Saline Post and
Omaha Herald, you have hit the nail on
the head in the following language :
"We believe the only difficulty in th
whole mattet is that the press of this
State, for purposes be known (if known
at all) to those who control the columns
of the various papers, have been too
fast and too unjust in these wholesale
charges of corruption without knowing
whether their charges were true or false.'
You can reader no greater service to the
State, than to pursue this subject, and
draw a elear line of demarkation between
the licentiousness of the press aud the
liberty of the press. While I would not
abate one iota of the liberty of that ev
er present educator of the people that
vigilant sohtinel of publio liberty and
conservator of tho brave the press ; yet
would I gladly see it stripped of those
licentious characteristics, which are
disgrace to journalism.
Look over the press of this State, or
of the whole country as for that, and
what do we find : charge after charge of
fraud end corruption, accommpanied
with such intoresting epithets as liar,
thief, villain, libertine, and bribe taker.
Such licentiousness in the press of the
country only tends to violate public mor
respect, desires to be put in a position
where, though pure as Daniel, he is sure
to be the recipient of every charge which
malice, or party ranoor can invent.
Take the ease cf David Butler, as an i
lustration : had he been guilty of a tithe
of that which was charged, he should
to day bo at work on the Penitentiary.
But be is not And probably many o
those who preferred the charges, only
hoped that he would prove "a good
enougb Morgan till after election"
(vide Thurlow Weed.) .

Mv Dear, Sir: I have iust read in

'The friends ot ice I'residcnt Uoi-

nomination, as well to those not friendly
to it as to those who wero; and have so
written to every friend iu Indiada who
asked my opinion. When tho tickefof
' Grant and Uoltax was elected in 1MS,
I determined thero should be no aliena
tion between them, growing out cf the
distribution of Presidential patronage
in regard to which I resolved not to ob
trube or from any lac.k of friendship or
good will on iny part. And I am glad
to state that this was most cordially re
ciprocated by the President, so that
there has never been the engneai amtur
bnr.ee of our most desirable personal and
Dolitioal relations. Nor can any discord
in the party bo traced to any real or oven
retended antagonism between us. 1

tho National Convention deemed it
wisest to renominate me for the office I
now hold I would accept. But my inter

tion prefers some one else for the Vice-
Presideney (and there are many abler
and worthier), bo man in the United
States shall exceed me in the cordiality
and earnestness with which I shall sup-
fort him. 1 am not a candidate for the
'residential nomination, being jut as
decidedly as ever in favor of Pres
ident Grant s re norm nation, and
hope our convention on the 22d will so
declare unanimously. I beg for tho take
of harmony politically, and o 6ave me
personally from the suspicion ot bad
faith toward one with whom my rela

cordial, that my name may not bo men

Supposing Citizen Hascall, as Presi

guilty of bribery and corruption and
other practices which vould. in the
opinion of Governor James require bis
expulsion from the Senate. He issues a
proclamation eu'iinx for an investigation
into Ilascall's conduct, and dies by acci
dent or otherwise, could Citizen Hascall,
who would immediately succeed him as
Governor, revoke thn proclamation to

not. Omaha, Bee.

REASONS FOR INSURING IN THIS CQFiiPANY :
1st. This is a Western Company, mnnoged by "Western men, whose known finanancial charac
ter, ability and position, afford ample guaranty for its careful and succeslul management.
2d. Its Polices are all iioii-forfeilius:. . .
3d. Premium all rush. It receives no notes and frive3 none. Policy holders have ne interest
to pay, and no outstanding notes as liens upon their policies,
4th. It has n restriction upon travel.
5th. 1 1 dividends are made upon the contribution plaa.
6th. Its etuinuM is exeluseivly life insurance.
SIVIDEIVDS
Are the accumulation of interest upon premiums paid, hence the Company that loans its assets
at the highest rate of interest can give you the largest dividends. Eastern companies invest their
moneys at 6 percent., while this makes its investments at twelve per cent, or more.
The advantage of Western investments to the policy holder appears in the following etartlicf
figures: The amount of 81.000. invested for fifty years at

H ere is scarcely an indiTiilual upon the far of the

worms. It is not upon the healthy elumpnte or tbe
body that worms exist, but upon tho diseased humors
and slimy deposits that breed these livine monsters or

anthelmintics will free the system from worms like
these Bitters.
