Some fault has been found with the
organization of committees in the Sen
ate.. We think it right and just to
.give all parties a fair proportion of
these committees. Legislators are elec
ted to legislate for the whole people
and not for a party. Committees are
formed to expedite and arrange this
business, and the most suitable men
from both part'es being delegated to
do this work, the party in power re
serving the right to a majority on most
committees. At last all reports must
coma before the body appointing the
committee, and they can then and there
revise, correct or annul the a hole work
done, so that the majority still retain
the power to shape the action of all
legislation they choose to become re
sponsible for. We stand by the action
of the Senate.
Gov. Garber's Message is too long to
publish in full, it is a sensible practic
al document, and the legislature will
do well to heed most of the suggestions
mode there. In regard to a Reform
School, he says: There is sufficient
room in the west wing of the building,
(State Prison) for a Reform School,
which could be conducted by the same
officers and put in operation at small
expense.

THE LITTLE BIRDIES.
Two bills have already been intro
duced to protect insectiverou3 and
game birds, or in the nature of an
amendment to the present game laws.
The exact requirements of either, the
Herald is not informed of at present.
Our people go by jump3, some years
ago, they didn't want amy guma laws,
then very strict ones, and now they ask
that no birds be killed at all for three
years, at least we understand that is
the i provision of one the bills. The
present game law should be amended
and re-constructe'd. It is unjust to
the farmer. We do not believe that
birds and fowls enough could be r.iis
ed. bred, or protacted in the State to
keep off or devour grasshoppers enough
to make any perceptible diminution
in a grasshopper raid should one come
again. Oa the contrary a few years
of such protection would increase the
grain devouring birds so fast that the
farmers would be obliged to kill them
in self defense. Although it may sound
like impudence, we do not agree with
Prof. Aughey that the destruction of
quail and prairie chicken, by our
creased population, has caused the
sects to increasa out of proportion
ln-in-to
other years. The settlement of
the
country brought in as many new kinds
of birds, or more than have been killed
off. and again the birds themselves
have introduced some new insects that
did not exist o first settlement of the
country.
But as we can't shoot a quail with a
blunderbuss, at 10 paces, we shall not
object to the hunters being curtailed a
little, say for a year or two, at the same
time speak one word of warning; all
such laws trench on personal liberty
somewhat, and unless very fully sup
ported by the entire public sentiment
of the community are dead letters. Pop

Mr. Beardsley was a member of the
Committee on Rules, and by the way,
is going to make one of the best and
most inteligent working members in

Mr. Brown, secretary of Immigration
matters, sends U3 his report for the

tions in Mr. Brown's report. The state

these times.
The bill for abolishing county school,
superintendents will undoubtedly be
offered, and in the present condition of
the Legislature, if we are any judge,
passed promptly. Radical changes like
this should not be made without a fair
discussion of the merits, and Legisla

these expenses at $3,000, and "Patrick

S 1,000 as expenses, viz: S400 there,

Democrats like Mr. Kernan and others
are much disgusted, and say it has
coma to a pretty pass when a Demo
cratic Elector has to be paid to do his
duty. Mean while-the 83,000 and $5,000
or 68,000 more are being traced direct
to Col. Pelton, Tilden's nephew, secre
tary of the Democratic Central Com
mittee, and Tilden's right bower at St.
Loui3 and all through the campaign.
Verily the way of reform is devious,
and an "honest count" costs money.
ABOUT COMMISSIONERS.
Last week ended the term of Mr. E.
G. Dovey as County Commissioner, and
at this sitting of tha Board Mr. Henry
Wolfe takes his place.
Mr. Dovey, one of our oldest and
best citizens, has served, on the whole,
faithfully and well. Conversant with
business affairs, and feeling the need
of economy in the administration of
County matters he sometimes leaned
towards "closeness" in allowing for ac
tual work done, but that is a fault that
could be better overlooked at this junc
tion than a lavish display or waste of
public funds. The people of this Co,
we feel assured, will do Mr. Dovey jus
tic?, and pass his record forward as an
honest, faithful and incorruptible com
missioner. Had it not been for tha fact that
Plattsmouth claimed and got the com
missioner for some terms in succession
and it was felt that the lower end of
the district was entitled to the nomi
nation, there is no doubt but that Mr.
Dovey would have been unanimously
re-nominated.
I1EXRY WOLFE,
his successors from near Three Groves,
a farmer of intelligence and good bu
siness capabilities. We make no doubt
but that he will do his duty faithfully
and well.
He received a very warm support
frsm the Rep. party, and met with
scarcely any opposition from the oth
er side.
His record is nnmber one as a citizen,
and we do hope that the board as a
body, will hereafter work harmonious
ly, doing and giving justice to all par
ties. In all reasonable economies the
Herald will support them, to foolish
delays and useless objections, simply
to make points on each other, we shall
demur hereafter, and carry our case to

the u. s. s.
On Tuesday next we commence to
ballot for a United States Senator. I
say we. that means all of us, for while
we'uns don't exactly vote, they'uus
can't play the game entirely alone.
Varied, curious and wonderful are
the speculations one hears about this
matter. One party informs you that
"it will all be settled on the first bal
lot;" another that "they .are going to
have a long job of it, and may ballot
for two weeks." One you meet is sure
Mr. Hithcock can make it, and another
Judge Briggs, and still others who bet
their pile on Judge Crounse, and then
there is Gov. Saunders, Gen. Connor,
Gen. Manderson. Mr. Nye, and 40 oth
er reverend, grave and potent political
powers talked of.
At present writing Hitchcock is by
far the strongest man, and his friends
feel very confident of siicees3. His
force is united, organized and on the
war-path. The Republican opposition
is divided as yet, aud not organized
thoroughly.
The Herald ha3 always been of
opinion that the proper way .to elect a
U. S. Senator m a Repnblican state
like this was to nominate a man fairly
and squarely in caucus, and thn go in
to the joint convention an 1 elect him
At present it does not look as if there
would be a caucus.
There has been a great deal or un
necessary abuse heaped on the candi
dates on both sides. It docs not make
or lose a vote, and only shows bad tern
per. Mr. Hitchcock has had rather
more titan his share. On the other
hand Mr. Briggs, Mr. Crounse, Mr,
Saunders and others mentioned are oh
settlers of the state and have a right
to be elected Senator if they can get
votes enough.
FRO RATA.
a t m a
Anotner question uauiy mixed up
with the Senatorial question is Pro
Rata. The Herald confessed long
ago that it did not kiiow much about
"Prorate" or "prorat" and does not be
heve that half the fellows spout-
ng about it know any more. Then
again, we do not believe in mixing pol
itics and business. Electing a Senator
is largely a political measure. How
different railroads shall pro rate with
each other and the rights and interests
of the people be best preserved and
protected is matter for'grave and ear
nest business legislation by and bv.
At present neither the Legislature nor
the people have looked this pro lata
matter up sufficiently to act intelli
gently. Perhaps intelligent permanent
action is not what some parties want,
it's hard to tell, at all events no man
can ride into the Senatorial boots on
the prorate hobby horse alone, and it
would not be safe for the strongest
man to endeavor to stamp it out alto
gether.

election wa3 very popular with the
Democrats tn account of his fair deal

Bull Butler, the leader of the Harnbunj

Gov. Coke, from Texas, was chosen

the negative by a large majority.

OF TnE ELECTIONS YET TO BE HELD
those in Massachusetts, Illinois, Mi
chigan and Nebraska attract the most
interest here. There is a universal de
sire among Republicans to have Bout-
well, Logan, I erry and Hitchcock re
turned. All four are very useful mem
bers, and in the present emergency
will be of infinitely more service to
their party and their country than any
new men that can be chosen. There
seems to be a fear among Western re
publicans that if Logan is defeated at
all a Democrat will be elected, and
with the very small majority that the
Republicans must have in the next
Senate, a Democrat from Illinois would
be a calamity. If we can't have Lo
gan, the Republicans hero say, send us
a man of unquestionable Republican
principles.
The fight against Boutwell will be
made by Geo. F. Hoar. One of the
Hoar brothers has been a candidate
for the U. S. Senate at eacli election
for many years. Bout well's chances
are regarded as good, many of his
friends insisting that his election is
certain.
OPPOSITION TO SENATOR HITCHCOCK.
A recent writer for the New York
Tribune says of Hitchcock: "Hitch
cock's chances are all the better from
the fact that there is a host of ambi
tious aspirants for his place. He is
an exceedingly sagacious politician,
and has no really formidable rival in
Nebraska, which he has represented
as Delegate, Member and Senator ever
since 1854. Ho is a man of a goad
deal of independence of character.
Once he disagreed with the President
about the Governorship of Colorado,
holding the appointment in his Com
mittee on Territories, and refusing lo
recommend confirmation because he
thought the voice of the ieoplo of tha
Territory ought to be respected. For
this act he wa3 cut off from White
House favors for over a year.

Cooper will not be a candidate, and it

Andy Johnson's place will probably be
re-elected.
Gov. Garland, of Arkansas, will un
doubtedly be Clayton's successor.

to the condition of Senatorial matters

election would please every one who

New Orleans. Jan. 8.
All quiet. No trouble is apprehend
ed. A large police force is ready for
the inaugural ceremonies. Few people
are on the streets. The weather is
cold and blustering.
Later. Seven thousand people are
about St. Patrick's hall, and the crowd
is rapidly increasing. Many stores are
closed.
, At 1 p. m. Nichol3 left the city hotel
fbr the hall, where he was enthusiasti
cally received. The oath of office was
administered to Nickles and Wiltz by
Judge Tissal. Nichols appointed Col.
Boy land, a noted detective, chief of the
city police, and he is organizing the
force.
' Gov. Packard and Lieut. Gov. An
toine were inaugurated at the state
house at 1 :30. The oath of office was
administered by Chief Justice Lude
ling. No excitement. Packard's in
auguration was sparsely attended.
Only those were admitted to the state
bouse who had passes.
About 2 o.clock, when Lieut. Gov.
Antoine was concluding his remarks, a
crowd of about six hundred persons
collected on Royal street in front of
the state house and after hooting and
jeering at the police at the door, began
pelting them with oyster shells aud
other missiles, and yelling "Let's put
them out." The doors were closed,
and some parties then proceeded to de
face Gov. Kellogg's carriage, which
was near by. Thomas Boyland, Nich
oll's newly appointed chief of police'
appeared and dispersed the crowd.
The democratic legislature passed a
bill amending the election law, repeal
ing the act constituting the returning
board, and providing that the governor
speake.s aud three senators of different
parties shall constitute the board of
canvassers.
New Orleans. Jan. 9.
Nine o'clock Members of the white
league who have been mustered in by
the Nioholls' government as militia are
assembling with arms at Lafayette
square with the avowed purpose of
maintaining the superior court abolish
ed by the Kellogg government.
Armed men are reporting to the sher
iff, whose purpnse, it is stated, is to
take posession of the supreme court
room, now in charge of the metropoli
tan police and install Nicholls newly
appointed judge of the Supreme Court.
It is more than possible that an at
tempt will bo made to capture the
lice stations also.
At 11 :45 demand was male for
third precinct station house in the
po-
the
su-
preine court building and refused.
Gov. Packard reports tha Metropolitan
telegraph wires cut, and he has estab
lished communication with United
States Marshal Pitkin at tin: custom
house by means of the United States
signal corps.
Later It is just reported that the
First and Third police stations have
iriendered to the democrats.
At 11:30 Nicholls militia took pos
session oi Lite supreme court bunaing,
md installed ;heir judges. - All police
stations are in posessiou of the Nich
olls' government. Not a gun was fired.
It is hardly probable that armed re
sistance will be made. The force un
der Governor Packard there will not
exceed 300.
1:20 Nicholls government are in
posessiou of everything except the state
louse. As yet no effort has been made
to take posession of that building.
Governor Packard is at the state
house, cool and calm. Ho has tele-
raphed President Grant asking for
assistance. The new police have re-'
fused to j How provisions j be carried
inside, and Gov. Packard and the legis-
ature are in a state of siege. The re
publican lei lature had no quorum in
either branch to-day, as some of the
members were outside an 1 asserted
they were afraid to risk their lives in
side, consequently jio action was taken
toward the election of United States
senator.
A reporter of the Picayune this morn
ng visiied Gen. Auger and ascertained
that all officers and men were under
strict orders and prepared to take the
streets in a moment. To inquiry as to
what was the character of the part h
meant to take in the iolitical drama
now enacting, the general replied that
his instructions and intention were to
keep the peace. The reporter suggest
ed that Gov, Nichols was prepared and
determined to do this without the aid
of United States troops, to which Gen.
Gen. Augur replied- -I hope he will."
Ie said that in event of a conflict on
the streets of any scriou3 character, he
would intervene. 4
