The last of the throe wa also a St. Ijoui rrcolo, nf French c-xtractirn, a rou-in of Sarpj-'s, an l t the earliest . priol known of, was an Indian tracer either for himself, Ssrpy or "The Com "pany." Fie had all the characteristic of theoM French stock of "Indian men,' and whs ond is, a 'character" as orig inal fcnd curious as any of the al-norma growth of this country ; ctiused !y its rapid prowth, and constant mixing of diiTerent nations and elements together. Lambert accompanied Fremont, as his Lieutenant, on his first expedition to the Rocky Mountains from whence h oh tained the name of the "pathfinder," though Lambert thinks that had it not been for a few plucky Frenchmen the path would never -have been found, Fremont to the contrary, nevertheless notwith standing, lie wa coteiiiporary with ''Kit Carscn" a a guide and scout, and better known, and of wider fame at the setting out of that expedition than even the renowned "Kit" himself. Lim- bert'p fiery teraper and French dUp.o-i tion Ptood in the way cf his adranca mcnt, and the result was, that on the return of the cavalcade to Sarpy's pot, Lambert turned "Trader" again, and ha not been heard of, while Carson be- came a iiovernment ecout ot utme, was mad3 a Colonel in the regular army. and died Governor of New Mexico. Liruhert moved up to Decatur io '50, and has resided there ever since. It w-i in hi3 ttore that all the early frolics wars held, soma of the town councils an around his doors Ihe "Claim Crab"' gathered in force, and took a final drink bef re they mirchel to dijp ji5s sen; aspirant for "100" aerss of theirg) nd. He claims to have built the i-ee- onl cabin in the town, and we!i do I re member it. It wis of rough ottoa wood logs ahout 18x22, with a short counter across one end, and four rojgh shelves behind it. One-half the Kpace in front of the counter, in the spring of .YT, was piled to the ccilina with bufialo robes, oticr, mink, coon, wolf, baaver, ildcat. ?wiff, and other furs, and tanned elk and deer ?kins. They smelled of al! the various scents of the different beans tli'.'y crew upon. The In iians nn i tral2.-i fi i.td th; place witu sm iko, the occupants ate par- nd drank whikt'y. It was a'way crrwd..d, alws-? daik, always smoky, al ways full of the scent of "kinnej ksn- riiek," anl you could euaW th'.; thin? as far as you can hear a locomotive whittle, f the uoor fetoiid open. Yet lively times icck place in there once in a while, I'aul Dominique, a Corsican, ran the concern for Lanib:.Tt, and ODe Sunday n Iri-h:i:an, a Scotchman, two French men, feme half-breeds and Indians were there. All but the Indian1! wem full of whi-kcy, A the Irishman became ulm nive on n-iionalify. Paul told him to trn outdoors; he swore hi? wou'.d not, a, id took a bottld out cf his pockut, an J asked all hands to drink. Fa il airain a-ked him to go out, and ha refused in bitter terms faying : "No French son cf a coul 3 put him out." 'xuwas the most powerful man, take him alto gether, I. ever mw outside of a circus tent, he grabbed tha Irishman somehow, iifteJ him clear cf tha ground, hurled him through the door, and the next mo ment was standing with one foot on his throat, and . his k-en, short hunter's knife in his hand. Several sprang to catch his arm, but waving them oT with an oath, he stooped to his prostrate foe, and said , almost in the words of the Arabic proverb, "you dirty, mean IrUh , if I had not cat salt in your hou-ic, I cut your throat from ear to car;" tak ing his foot off, he added, "you drunk now, come tell me dat when you sobr. I do it yet-now go." Among such scones and with such people, was thr??-four.'hs of Clement Lambert's life f-pent. Can you wonder much if be was a little rough at times, a little uncouth', a little well, unconven ventional, not overly given to pdety, as we understand it, not much on the clothes, soma on the swear, and a "heap" on the drink. Yet he could take eff his hat and ay lllion sou; winf'iwt,'' to a lady, with a grace and a fuavity that few Americans could ever excel, whenever he chose to do so. In fact, a French man's natural politeness never wholly leaves him, never is entirely forgotten or era Jicatel. I could aain fill a volume with stories, anecdotes, and c-s.-ays, on those few eventf ;I, early years, but I must hasten on. In these jearj many improvements were mado. A church was built, the Kpiscopal Church of the Incarnationi and it was the firtt Episcopal Church ever consecrated in Nebraska. The river is one thousand feet wide (average), and the rock bank in Nebras ka eighty to one hundred feet high. It has never washed away one foot iu thir teen j-ears. In this bluff or bat k art found three different kinds of mineral paint red, yellow, and brown, and it has been pronounced by judges in St. Louis to be the best in the United States. It is inexhaustible in quantity and quali ty. Coal indications have been found here, id I think myself there is coal in that very hill. High on the top of it was, a few years ago, the grave of the very pioneer white san and pettier of the county. I mean WOOD'S GRAVE. He was there before "Lewis & Clark's expedition up the Missouri," a trader and a trapper with the Indians. Wood creek is named after him, and its mouth is the initial point of the eastern termi nus cf the treaty line of the Indian re serve. He was buried herein a fashion, half Indian ond half white man. In his blanket, with his valuable trinkets, gun, etc.; by him, sitting up, with h:s face down the river, that he might see the "Mackinaws" of the trader, as they cauid up the river at intervals, ana brought him news of the great world he had left so Ion? and so compietch'. I have said Sarpy started the first trading post in Nebraska. I think lie did. Wood was the first trader, howev er, but his ' corral" could hardly be called a post, and his solitary habits did not allow cf his becoming a large trader like Sarpy. 8j. T. Learning was the first mayer of De:atur. and Frank Welch is mayor now. Mr. Welch was also the first city clerk, somewhere about 1S5S. story is told of Pierce's advent in Decatur, which is too good on both par ties to keep longer, and I chall qo'e it: "Fierce came up the river in a boat that fu miner, t;nd landed at Decatur, but it being a dark, gtormy night, no one came ashore, nor did any one go lown to the boat but John , who lad some goods aboard. The Captain tol l him he would put Lis goods "off"' early in the morning, at daylight, if he woull come down. Ucfore day, John was up, and aft fIii goods, but it rained still, ine Captain was beninl hani, and he had to wait. Whi'e thus pacinir the deck, coM aod wet and hungry and cross, a portiy gentleman in an oil skin coat and cap, joined him on deck and opened conversation. ' Ni:-o ton site, you got here' "Y os, it e a n ce site enough, if old Pioree hadn't sped -d it f ir a town." "How so what di 1 Pierce do?" "Made a fool of himself, and all that came out here ; faii he nau sixteen :ioues built here, and all that, nd there wasn't a house old liar." "Well, maybe Mr. Pierce did'nt know this. You mint make some allowance for him ; he thought the houses were .-.it." "Don't care if ho did; r.o business to come out hire and buy the land and dear out back to Wall street. He's an old land pirate, any wa. D n ill erce." "May be you d m't kno? old Pierce, as you call him. His' friends call him a pretty fair man." "No. I don't want to know him Are 3'ou a friend of his, I wond.-r?" "I'm old Pierce Himself." John was too bashful to apologize, hut just jerked his cap down over his pyer, an 1 made traces across tlie gang plank" for shore. cssdit 'iroriiiEs. Special Dispatch to the Si. Louis Glwbe. TDK POLAND REPORT DISCUSSION. Washington. Feb. 20. The Poland report was of course the only subject of concern to-clayj and the Senate wing was without interest, and at t'mcs that body was without a quo rom. Tho Hjuse was in an i n;allant MOOD to day towards ladies and di i not admit the etnbroyo citizens to the floor. The naileries were tilled by chattering girls, busy in flirtations. BECK OF KENTUCKY. Mr. Beck, Democrat, had the floor first, and took ground-in favor of Mr. Butler's report that the House had no jurisdiction over the offenses other than those committed during the session. Mr. Beck is able, but disagreeably bit ter and partisan. He was followed by PAN VOOIUIEES, the "Tall Sycamore of tho Wabash," universally esteemed as a good lobbyist on the floor. He made what is usually termed "an eloquent speech" in dt.fonse of Mr. Brooks. Nominally it was against the report, but in reality Mr Brooks was Mr. Yoorhees client. His argument was that of a lawyer appeal ing to a jury a Wabash one, too sono rous and loud-sounding, attraclive to the car, but not as keen and pithy as Farns worth's yesterday. CURIOUS FACT. It is quite curious to note how misery or whatsoever il may be cilied, brings strange bedfellows, for Mr Butler is the adviser and friend of M.-ssr. Kerr. Dawes, Yoorhees, Garfield, anl others 00 that side. JOB STEVENSON, OF OHIO, followed Mr. 'Yoorhees': Hehasagricv iince and a hobbv ; the first against Blaine, who has set upon him quite vig orously, and ttie latter a- to his c pacify f.r investigation. Mr. Stevenson, though liable to go off half primed, is a good lawyer and an honest man. He took ground in favor of expulsion and showed a keener insight into Congressional his tory on Pacific Railroad matters than any one who has spoken. He made .Mr, Dawes, especially, feel very uncomforta ble, as he read the record from the (3 lobe of Dawe's, arid other members' votes on the a-hburne resolution of ISt'iS. He attempted to irove that Mr. Blaine was a party to the opposition to Washburno's re-o!ution regulating the rates of freight and travel. MR. HALE, OF MAINE, replied lo the latter in a brief and pun- irently clear statement, showing that Mr. Blaine voted with Mr. Washburne. and that Stevenson's quotations were not correct. ME." VU1TTH0SNE, OF IESNEcsEE, mads a vigorous speech for the expu!si";i of everybody connected with tha s'.an dors now sifted. MR NI BLACK, OF INDIANA, defended tho report in what was un doubtedly good argument, if he coul i havsi been heard i.i tha c'l'ery. Tbi- Democratie Congressman has a singulai voice, and the sound is ruuffl.'d. in lact, boloiu h reaches the exterior world. MR. BINGHAM, OF OHIO, made one of his characteristic spceche a rhetorical repetition of figures and facts, with a considerable inva.-ion of le gal and historical learning. Mr. IJing natii, of course, argued against the ju risdiction ef the House, as he favored, as Chairman of the Juiiciary Commit tee, Rider's report, lie is always in teresting in creat debates involving con--titutional questions and, as a lawyer, his opinions are to be' "respected. The attention paid , him shewed this. He was surrounded by the ablest men on the rloor, chairs baving been placed in a S'. mi-circle to the front ot the Speaker s chair. He cited and recited llnglish : arliamentary history, but argued it did not afford a precedent for American Legislatures, acting under limited Con stitutional provisions. Mr. Ringham was c;:t off by the Speaker's g-ivcl in i lie midst of a sentence on constitutional rights. The House took pity at once aud allowed him to finish. GZN BANKS, OF MASSACHUSETTS, followed. As he roc the vast audience in the galleries and on the floor settled themselves to enjoy what every one rec ognized as possible, a treat in oratory. In fine condition and voice, tha (reneral held entranced th; attention of th thou- in Is who wero pleaded to be listeners. It was no matter what sidi he took, the charm was in listenrttg. His argument was keen and fitted with manner and voice, taking, of course, the broadest grounds of opposition to the Butler doctrine of nop, or limited, jurisdiction. His acknowledged reputation as a par iiamentarian, well versed in law, history, j and practice, ga-c weight to his words. ( In resard to Mr. Ames, his position ! can Irictly b stated as being that upon Ames' own statments his conviction w;s founded. Bending his eneigies to the ' Huetion of jurisdiction, h cited hi-tory ' and precedent to show that the power ; to protect involves full power of exul- j si -n. i Io declared Butler's doctriuo j -truck at the root of parliamentary f; t-ed om and popular rights Taking the j effective popular view that trie present investigation was tha first blow struck at gigantic eorporatiocs which were here righting the thro atened rebel, Mr. Backs argued this was not "a case," but the cause of the people and a Republican lovernment against combined and organ z.'d wealth. Mr. Banks was orative and studied, r.s well as effective. Butler g'jt the floor and a recess was ordered. RUT LEI MASSACHUSETTS. It was a gr ;at scene that Duller buKcJ 1 0:1 as he rose with more than the usuai masterly air which he has worn of late. The galleries were packed and thi floor was crowded to its utmost. Cabinet offi cers, judges, dip'omatists, senators and members filled the teats. It is impos sible to d-rscriba Udder's speech, a:ri his manner is even more difficult to portray. The recess of twenty minutes was de voted to a def r.se of ti e Judiciary re port and argument, but it was neither j a efficient or able as that document. Fjt kd hour ho devoted himself to a most remarkable and cute ilelen-e of Mr. Ames, fastening on every weak point of the Poland report, showing every admission of regard for Ames by the members of the committee to that gentleman's advantage, and eul ig'zing him in a powerful and effective manner as an honest man. The hour bristled with great and epigrammatic retort, generally ad c'itiithtm in character, tun very etfectivo for the moment. Banks having affirmed that Ames eonvieted himself bv his truth tcliing. Butler turned that adroitly into proof of his persona! integrity. He asked those who wore Without sin to cast the urst stone ; cheers and roars, ol laughter grce ed the vigorous wit. Also, that if no one lied mor than (Jakes Ames there would have been no trouble ; but when he pungent ly added that tho House could not stand the presence of on-truth-teller, tho laughter and applau-e was uproarous. Mr. Butler made his usual fling at the press when alluding to it, libelling every one He declared that the Credit Mobilier matter was first t-tarte i by a journalist, and in a defiant attitude lie declared, that he was a man male by God ami not by the press. Jtome on: in the reporters galieiy audibly retorted, "That was rough cn the Almighty. Lnective as a hustings speech, Gen. Butler's plea was remarkably low in moral torn, and full of most vulnerable points. He dii well for Ames, but poorly for himself and his future. ESITA2T P.YC:T2 THE ATLAS TSI 4 AWt We received a very handsomely gotten up paper from Knglani the other day, and around the subjoined piece was some of Cornelius Sehaller's tracks we opine. Read all about Crete and things: Slit: Nebraska is rapidly earning for itself the title of the "Britain bcyonel the Atlantic." Though this rising young State (it was admitted to the Lruon only five vcars aaro), is bv no means populous, it has within its bor ders at this moment somewhere about 20,000 Ktialisb-born subjects. They are nearly all doing well, fmd many ot them have written home to their friends urg ing them to go out West without delay. I bad the opportunity of s- eing the other day a ceititieate or round-robin signed by English settlors giving their present and former rcpidences, and ad dressed to the Ge.-.erul Agent of the Burlington and Missouri River Railway in England, who has taken a leading part in promoting emigration thither. This certificate is in fact a testimony to the excellence r.f the climate, the rich ness and fruitfulness of the soil, and the extraordinary a laptability of the conn try for stock raising, and anyone who has been in Nebraska most be aware that the testimony here given of its advanta ges is not in the ls.ast overdrawn. Mr. Robinson, formerly the Mavorof Bristol, has just completed a tour r.f that part of America, and the terms in which he speaks of the trontentmcnt ani prosper ity of the llnsrii-h emigrants are highly gratifying. One of the most interesting of what may be trme 1 the B.itish Pet- market and sells Lis services at the high est rate which they will command in competition with others. The man of fees combines with his brethren to fix a compensation for his services, which compels the community to take them at his variation or to do without them. To pay that the lawyer and physician have the advantage of all the other pro fessions, is simply to repeat a notorious fact. The lawyer and tho physician who are thoroughly fitted for their work can, and do, get rich. The clergyman, tha editor, the teacher, and tho author cannot, and do not, get rich by their work. The brightest author in America, though be produces books of universal acceptation, can never get rich ; and hardly one author in one hundred ran realize enough from bis labor at the present rates of copyright to rear a fam ily in comfort. The teacher gets just enough to live on, and no more, while the clcrirvman and tho hired editor, save in some instances, are obliged to prac tice the most rigid economy in order to live within :hoir income We ate not among those who believe that the salaried man gets enough for his work. We shoul 1 be glad to see hiin better paid, in all departments ot ! his labor. It so happens that he works at tho very foundations of society, and has his offico of ministry all through its superstructure. He has (o do with the morality, the education, the information, the opinion, and the culture cf the so cial mass. Take away his work, and so ciety would degenerate into bari arista. The importance of bis work cannot be calculated. He is the inspirer, instruct or, and conservator of our civilization ; and he is as powerless to day to win a competence for his old age, while ail around him are getting rich, a'id receiv ing the results of his. labor, as if he were a child. The superannuated cler gyman ekes out his life in the humbhsst way ; the exhausted teacher peddles books or drifts into some petty clerkship; the editor breaks down or becomes a hack ; and the author writes himse'f out, or runs into drivel that wins the scantiest pay and destroys whatever rep utation hu may have won when his pow ers were at their best productive activity. There may I e exceptions to this rule; but that this is the rule is beyond dis pute. The men cf fees are the physician and lawyer. One has to do with the physical diseases of men, and the other with their leiral quarrels and their crimes. U'e do not, in the slightest de gr e, disparage the usefulness of these two classes of profes-ional men ; we sim ply say that the better tho other classes perform their work, theless th ho- ht'c 1 t do. They live upon the iniral and j physical evils of the country : and there i is no reason in the nature of thfir call- i'lir for their advantage in pecuniary re-' ward over the other elas-e.s. There is to- reason why 9 2,:,'r-!' pr-t:' ioner o'" uie-licine, r a specialist 111 lucdicitic or sirgery, should sit in his office anl lake in a single f-e, f.-r a service that costs hi t! l.'!irt a minuics of time, a sum etiual to that which a tciicber or a clergyman works all d iy to win. I here is no good rcas'.-r. for the setting of a price nnon a surgical o'peration, pL-rformcd in half an h 'jr, that the most su 'cjisful author'n c pyritbt. cannot pay in a month ' It smu ! i.ixcusabie and outrageous extortion.

Thdvray in which the t .'ople are bled in the process ofVcwiring istice is o'te:: most shamed ul. So sdiarar- 11I is ir, that thousands submit to wren it her than to go into any litigation hatever.

Thcio tire shvsters ail "amps enough in New York, 'attached the profession, to sink it, were" it not at there are noble men in it ulrj are inpurchasable. But lawyers'- f-:.- are lotoriously large as a rule, and altotreth- r outweigh the salaries ol the sa:a:;c.J Tofes-.ional men. . Perhaps thi fees the community is Vrged to pay is a fitting punishment or tl e wrong it inflicts uj 0:1 its salaried (Tofessiona! servants. There ouht to be some rem.'dv for oth evils. Wh-TB it is to be found, we lo cot know. The physician has some pologv for getting high fees of tho.-,;' hat can pay, because he is obliged to do o mncii lor the pO'"r who cannot pay ; ut the lawyer, as a ru!s does not un ertake a cas that promises him no ic inn.'cratioii. lie goes in J-r money: nd there ouht to be some law which v i il enable the poor man to get j.itiee ithout fioancial ruin.
