Senator Tlfft, so far, has not in troduced a bill or memorial of any kind. If this is because he thinks there are enough there, he shows wis dom. If t is only from pure eccen tricity, then still Cass Co. and the state may rejoice that Rro. Tefft is thus eccentrically inclinedthe more bills the less legislation usually.

Lincoln, Monday, Feb. 14th. Ye Editor went up to Lincoln last Thursday, as happy. ?.s a a Virtuous editor should be, expecting to return on Friday after a very short visit with the Solons. We found Legislation moving slow ly, its wheels clogged with memorials. resolutions and multiplicity of bills; nevertheless, they were hard at work. Whatever may be the sh ort comings of this Legislature one thing, no man can deny.it is one of the most industri ous early and late working bodies ever. assembled ; and this draws attention to the subject, does the number of bills introduced, which f course cause and create the labor of committees, really advance the interests of. the people, and for what purpose is all this lml bub, noise and excitement every two years. The less a country is governed the better off its people, and if the mem bers of that wonderful "constitutional convention" that set some years aco had provided that state ollieers should serve four years instead of two, and Legislature set only every four years except at the call of the Governor in an emergency, iust exactly that much expense would have been saved to the state, and an immense amount of time. brain labor and wear and tear of body and mind would have been husbanded to be used when absolutely needed by the state. If the Senate had been made a con tinuous body, or even both houses were elected one-half at a time, leaving a portion of old members of each sitting, the state would then receive the bene fit of their experience and knowledge of what had been done. This meas ure wou'.d no doubt have been endors ed by the best thought of the people. a i least, many oi tno oiu sound con scientiously economical members of this bodv feel so. among which is our Cass Cor.nty friend, Hun.Jas. IIa!l. By the way James is making quite a reputation for plain speaking; that is to say, a hoe is a hoe with James, and a spade nothing else but a spade. The other day, in Committee on the requirements of the new reform school at Kearney, the member from Buffalo had made an estimate of farming tools needed, and so had the board of public land., &c. In this estimate was in,, eluded "one good sulky riding plow, $C5." "Jim" came to his feet as by galvanic shock "what's that, a sulky riding plow for those hoys out there, no you don't with my consent, if you do. Why me, my bovs home have to walk after the plow all day, and sow grain broad cast J et by hand, and carry a heavy sack, and if you set these rellows out there up on a sulky plow, all the farmer's beys in the neighborhood will be wanting to go to thu reform school "to live, and steal water melons enough to get sent there. Xo sirf as long as more than one-half the farmer boys of Xebraska have to plow afoot, I guess the reform school lads can hoof it for a year or two, yet, anyway." It is needles? to add that no sulky plow appears in the estimates. I said I meant to come home Friday. It is a good thing I didn't, for if I had 1 couldn't have told you this little ro mance of a sulky plow, and besides I couldn't come if I wanted to. Friday last was a stormy day, a bad day, one of the baddest days of all the days we ever saw in fair Xebraska. And Saturday "seen that" and went one, yea several times better, or worse, as you construe language. Well, at noon, Friday we were in formed that the train from Omaha and 1'lattsmwuth was late, wwuld be here about three ojclock, and then it would turn right round, and go home again and lake us with it; but 3 pm. came and 4 and o and even C aDd no train from the east, nor any sign of one going home. Meanwhile the gale increased every minute, and the weather, the probable less of stock, and the prospects of gel ting home became the universal topic of conversation. All trains from Lincoln were laid up and all trains coming in were aban doned. The eastern train was snow bound six miles from Lincoln, and "its passengers left in the coaches all night, the particulars of which will be found elsewhere. Saturday loomed up no better ; about 2 p. m. that day, the train or rather the passengers on Friday's train from the east were pulled into Lincoln with three engines, on the baggage and express car, and the announce ment made "no trains out until Mon day." temperance. This delay however, gave me the chance to attend the House Friday and Saturday, and hear the debate on the Temperance amendment. The House, floor and galleries, were packed both days. You all know about the sulstance of this prohibitory amendment, it has been published in the Herald. Mr. Ransom of Otoe offeied an amendment to this amendment, on Thursday, in terms providing that distillers and others whase property would be dam aged by this change in the law should be re-imbursed by the state should the Constitutional Amendment pass the Legislature anil the people. On this he made a vfry good argu ment from his side of the question, and the protection of the Nebraska City Distillery being the objective point of this move, the Otoe delega tion stand with him, we - believe. Judge Kaley, of Red Cloud replied on Friday and made a most sensible calm and well chosen argument in defense of the original amendment. Saturday afternoon, Franse, of Cum ing, undertook to present the whisky side of the argument and most lament ably failed; failed in the estimation of even his friends and the opponents of Prohibition, to make a sisgle point, only succeeding in wasting Saturday afternoon and preventing a vote on the matter, which was -probably his only object. To be fair, I should state that nol man'. of Dakota replied briefly to Mr. Kaley, iu a -forcible presentation of the -Mitt-prohibition side: but Franse undid whatever fayorable effect IIol man might have produced. So the nuesrinn at !M 1 rw ,nninc t writ in? i'x day. as many members left Sunday for home a train at last having got through acd may not get back until Tuesday. ' Mac. P. S. Monday forenoon many mem bers had not returned and the ques tion was laid over for the day. Later They got a vote on Ran som's amendment, and it was beat 46 to 23. The bill was reported back to House. Tuesday morning Church Howe succenly called it tip for third reading. Windham moved the pre vious question and the bill was order ed to third read iug by a vote of 40 te 28. Its final consideration was set for Friday. . J . . . L! ' The Storms Elsewhere. While we are blockaded by snow the eastern portions of the country are inundated by water. Toledo, Ohio, and adjacent country are about flooded out by the Maumee river, the water in some of the streets being five or six feet deep and rising, bringing down the contents of. vast, lumber yards above; the grges of ice in the river are terrible and are carrying out i.any bridges; school. ers and boats are carried off by the rushing water and ice, the lower stories of business houses are full and the merchants are transferring to Ihe upper storv. The Potou-ac is getting beyond bounds and portions of' Washington are under water, the census office being one of the buildings to suffer, although most of the documents were removed before they were much injured; the Botau ical gardens are overflowed. The Lehigh follows suit, carrying off bridges, lumber, &c The upper Hud son has immense ice gorges, the rail road bridges at Livingston and Stocks port having a thousand tons of ice piled against them. In Xew Or leans ten thousand people whose homes lirtVc been inundated are being supplied with food by the relief com mittee. From the Western coast have been coming reports of overflow of the Sacramento and other rivers, and of immense rainfalls which have pro duce them. It Wduld seem as if r.ever btd'ore has the rain and snow fall been so universally distributed. From lite north, the Mitli, the east, the west, come reports f floods, iee gorges, snow blockades; with all the si:vv to go off with and more snow storms yet to come this month accord ing to Tice, the end is not yet for this section at any rate. Electing a IT. . Senator. Mr. Correll who seems to be the printer's friend and the people's re foi m advocate, by the bills he intro duces, has also offered the following Joint Reso.utions, which in the light of our constitution and the practical experience of late years ought to pass unanimously, and ur Senators and Representatives in Congress given a hint that it is not mere buncombe, but that we mean it. X'ow is the time for the Press of the State to act, if thy believe in this much needed reform. Mr. Correll deserves our help at all events, for he has done his br-st to aid and secure better and juster legisla tion for the printers of the state. a joivt resolution kelative to the election of u. s. senatpr. Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the state oi Xebraska: That the election of a United States Senator bv the people would tend to produce better legislation, avoid charges of corruption, be more in har mony with ur state constitution, and lessjex pensive to the people of the state. Therelore our Senators and Bepre rentatives n Congress are hereby re quested to use all honorable means to nave an amendment to the constitu tion of the United States to that effect properly brought before the people and adopted. Resolved, That the Secretary ot State be and is hereby instructed to transfer a certified copy of this rue morial and joint resolution to our Senators and Representatives in Con gress. Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, says while in Italy thiee years ago, lie went into a barber shop at Pisca to have his hair dressed. "You know," said Bruce, in describing I he incident, "I hat the hair of my peculiar "race color and previous condii inn of servi tude' is very singular: the longer it gets the shorter it grows, and really m'kinks every conception of curios ity. There was just enough of the black race dashed with the white to furnish my barber such a specimen of wool a. h had never Peer, b-.'forc. lie toiled with it and was puzzled. After running the comb through it, he would press it down with his hand but it wouldn't stay down; it persisted in jumping up like a jack iu a box. He went out and called in another barber who stood over my wool, wondering. Finally he got the scissors, clipped it off to suit himself and carefully wrapped up the fleece for preservation as the greatest curiosity he had ever seen. 1 could not speak Italian nor he English, so he must wonder to-day what manner of man I am." The important me;isures before the Legislature this week, seem to be the Temperance Question, the Wo men suffrage amendiuent and railroad matters. All others are swamped for the time in these. Before we go to press we may know how two are determined, viz. Temper ance and Suffrage. Railroad matters will not be settled until later. Mr. Correll will be heard on the right of ladiS to vote and makes a line argument therefor. Certainly if the great argument of Prohibitionists that a legislature should not if it could deny or abridge the right of the people to vote on such an important subject is true, the amendment ouht to be placed before the people for their adoption or rejection aud we are in clined to think it will be.

TOUZALIN'S TONGUE, Kimball's Kolloquy,, YIMXG-S YERSIOX Ou and Of Uailroai Mattei-s. -Tuesday a week ago the railroad managers and others interested on either side of the railroad questiom were invited to appear before the Senate and discuss the questions in Ii. R. inauagemcnt now interesting the people. The delay iu mails pre vented our being able to give a syn opsis of the 'talk before. Mr. Kimball and Mr. Vining, on behalf of the U. P. made energetic protest against unjust legislation, at this timef against railroad interests in the State, bringing facts and fig ures to back their side of the vase. Mr. Touzaliu, however, of the I. k M. has since elaborated his re marks and published them in the Omaha Republican of the 13th from which we copy a small portion that our readers may get the idejiS of both plainti;: and defendant in this case which may be staled as "The Inte rests of the State of Xebraska vs The Interests ot The Railroad Com panies therein." It would be useful to reproduce the whole aiticle as it contains much iuformatiou on railroad matters in teresting ami valuable to the friend or opponent of restrictive Railroad legislation. Mr. Touzalin is a ready forcible talker, his mind is packed witli facts and figures, and we may rest assured that but few items of iuterest on cither side have escaped his acute intellect and long habit of observation, but we can only present, a very few points: "LOCAL MANAG'.MKNTS KESPONSIULE. It is only proper that the railroad representatives should be heard on the subject, for if extortionate rates, unjust discrimination and evasion of taxation are being practiced, these local railroad managers are per sonally responsible for them, and not the intangible soulless corpora tions, who are so frequently and furi ously abused. To the hands of the local managements is committed full discretionary power to correct every wrong, if any exists, aud from them is expected and j-equired by the com panies they serve that fair and hon est goverwment ot" the properties, without which co.-porate success can never be acheived. the constitution savs: "And the legislature may from time to time pass laws establishing reasonable maximum rates of charges for transportation of passen gers and freight on the differeut rail- roads ot this state. The liability of railroad corporations as common car riers ihall never be limited." It will be seen from the above that tile only power that the legislature has in reference to fixing rates for a railroad is to pass laws establishing reasonable maximum rates of charges. If, therefore, it can be de monstrated that the railroads in the state of Xebraska are to-day charging rates for the transportation of freight a'nd passengers which are less than reasonable .rates we will be forced to the conclusion that it is wise to k-l well enough alone. Sec ond, If it can be shown that the railroads are not committing unjust (liscriminntious and extortions nnd on the coutrary are making only such discriminations as are wise and necessary for the best interests of Nebraska, and that mi tl.ese dis criminations Nebraska's best inte rests are dependent, then also the conclusion must be reached, t lint it is wise to let well enough alone, CONCLUSION AS TO KATES. And it is claimed that the above figures ami facts have demonstrated first, that the B. i M. corporation is charging rates upon 13 per cent, of its business, consisting of its local trailie, only what it can prove in court to be reasonable; and second, that upon per cent of its business, consisting of its through traffic, it has been charging only one-half or one-third of what was a reasonable rale before it was reduced. dividends. It is onlj within the years that any road in the paid any dividend, huge lnst four state has or small, upon its stock, and with the possible exception of the Union Pacific rail road, not a road has paid its o-yuers an average of S per cent, per annum on their investment from the incep tion of the enterprise to the present lay. The rumors which are raised that such and such a one has better rates than another, and is given rir.iir.i1 nml nrii'iliiru (lliAVn Mm' !:. ...... ... , yond his neighbor who is an equal i shipper, arc .seldom founded on the j truth. Frequently such rumors are rained I by interested demagogues and di;- ; r '. . . . . I signing persons, ami sometimes wie shipper, about whom sm h tilings are said, himself encourages the be lief that he has special rates, special privileges and enlarged powers in order to discourage competitors from entering the field against him. Speaking for the B.dtM. we defy any man to point to any arrangement made with any firm or individual which is not based upon pure busi ness principles and which is uot open under similar circumstances to any other firm or individual in the state. ON TAXATION An examination of the state audi tor's report for 18S0 shows that the average value of horses in the state Is j 23.12!

' If the doctrines And rules which are being advocated by the anti-railroad men of Xebraska were adopted by the states east of u, the auti-discrimina- tien principle would soon cripple and crush every state west of the Missis sippi. This is one of the battles here after to be fought between eastern and western interests. NEBRASKA PEOPLE RAVE GOOD JUDG MENT. In the long run I have found it al ways safe to trust the good sense of the people at large. Wah the possible exception of Iowa, Xebraska possesses the most intelligent body of citizens which have ever peoplfu a new stat. We have fortunately escaped the in roads of that class of immigration that has injured loth Kansas and Texas, tur people have chiefly 'cme from the prairie states east of us, and there is nothing like prairie life for sliarpen ing the intellect. It takes economy, in dustry, thrift and great sagacity to convert ICO acres of raw pr iirie into well-tilled fields no sluggard and no fool can do it. I have traveled thou sands of miles by team in Xebraska, and stopped at many a shanty and many a sod house. I have found on the prairie an intelligence, a sound com mon sense, a willingness to be consid erate and fair, and an elevated stand ard of in jught and morality which was. gratifying. The final conclusion reached is that a Railroad Commission is the best. Wintlham's Resolution Offered. Feb. lllh. In presenting his resolutions, Mr. Windham read from an editorial arti cle in ihe. Omaha Herald which ar araigned the "lepuhlican" legislature as an enemy of the railroads ant the state localise on a previous day it had voted down the resolution offered by Mr. Kaley. providing for a fctate railroad commission. The following are Mr. Windham's resolutions: Whereas, Iu view of the fact that Nebraska is chiefly an agricultural and grazing state, and peculiarly adapt ed to these purposes, the inine.st and welfare of which it is our duty to pro tect in all of its relations; and Whereas. It is important to our state that we should have judicious legislation which will not only protect the producer, but will give increased confidence to the flaw of capital into our state, by which means our com mercial and manufacturing interests are developed : Therefore lie it Resolved, That it is the sense of the house that we are opposed to any and all radical legislation which may check the ready flow of capital into this slate, or that will retard the success f our commercial and mauufactut ing inter ests; aud further be it Resolved, that while we are apposed to unjust discrimination iu any man ner or form, and to oppressive legisla tion in the inteiest of corporations as against the people, yet we desire to establish friendly relations with cor porations, and we do hereby invite capital into the state, and will favor such legislation as will be alike just aud equitable to the interest f both capital and labor. Mr. Windham said: I submit that this resolution is called for. 1 do not believe that the republican party ia this house is opposed to capital aud railroads. I voted against Mr. Kaley's resolution, first, because I was not satisfied a railroad commission was the best measure, and second, because that resolution proposed to take the matter out of the hands of the regular railroad committee. But as to that part of the resolution encouraging (lie inflow ef capital, there is not a dissent ing voice in this house. I hav here introduced a resolution which will place the republican party and the legislature squarely on the record so that the voice of this legislature shall be heard favoring the introduction of capital and the building of railroads, while on the other hand we are not in favor of unjust discrimination or ex tortionate rates by the railroad. The house can placa itself on the r. cord on both these points. I offer ihe resolu- i tion in justice to the republican pai te notomy, but in justice to the people of this state. We wish it to go out that we do not oppose capital and are in favor of the laboring classes and the business interests of the state as opposed to all monopoly legislation. The interests of the p'ople and of the railroads and capitalists of tiie state are identical.

There is scarcely a community or neighborhood fro.n Maine to Nebraska where this saying is not used almost every day in the yeai, and is alto gether too true. A subject of this kind is to be found in any town, Plattsuioutli not excepted, although the writer has no personal knowledge of th fact. The merchant has failed tchhky has done it. The lawyer with his brilliant talent and larg business has fallen below the range of respect ability and confidence, tchisky im the cause. The politician with bright prospects before him lias plaved out. let the account be charged to whisky. The Judge of talent and respectability is the subject of private and neigh borhood talk. His enemies point with derision and his fiiemls hang their heads in shame, and icJiisky has dnH it. That kind hearted neighbor, and hard working man has become a pest tosociety and a trouble to his fum iiy. whisky beat him. Whisky will beat any man living, aud that is just what it is made for. W. Jeffeesox Demockacy Thomas Jefferson said, "I would ask respect ing any candidate for oflice. Moos he use ardent spirits'" 1'kou Tuition. Temperance New at the Capito! Lincoln. Nkii., Feb. 14, lSdl. Eu. II Kit 4 ld: Lincoln ia all excite ment ft the Prohibition Question which is the absorbing subject in the Legislature'. JJoJi sides are here mouse from all parts of tle State and each one is striving to carry its point; it is as yet difficult to prophesy how tiie matter will end. Tim anti pro hibitionists claim that the Slate has 110 right to make laws which will ruin their business without paying them for their losses, while the other side holds that when the needs of Sox-iety require a police regulation to be en forcedf injury to property or the de struction of that property which may result is not subject to compensation. The supposition is that the person who may be the objective point of th reg ulation, is compensated by the general good of tho community. It is on this principle that prohibitory laws have been sustained by the courts in Hue states of South Carolina, M:tss. Alabama, 111, X. II. and Iowa and we hope that we will be able to say the name of Nebraska. The following letter from John 1. St. John to Geo. Woodford, shows how the amendment iu Kansas is affecting the people of th state. Tiie Amendment in Kansas, Hon. Geo. Wuwdford, Lincoln Neb.: My Peak Slit: The effect of the prwhibilor amendment is plainly visi ble in the interior towns of the slate. Saloons nre rapidly closing, and with the stringent legislation that we expect to secure during the present session, I have reason to believe that in less than six months there will not be an open bar in Kansas. Instead of the amendment injuring Kansas, we exct to derive great pecu niary ben fit therefrom. Tha result will be to give, the people mora broad and less whisky. So far as immigration is concerned we expect the greatest tins year that we have ever had. It will be compos ed too, of a class of industrious, wide awake, energetic, inonU, sober men, women aud children. No one will leave the stata on ac count of the adoption of the amend ment, except possibly a few saloon keepers, gamblers and others with whom it has become a second nature to hang around grog-shops. This class of people Kansas can spare, and Xeb raska is welcotm to them if she wants them; and all she has to do to get them is to encourage the traffic in intoxica ting liquors. Kansas was never in a more prosper ous condition tiiau she is to-day. The prohibitory amendment will come as near suppressing the whisky trailie, as prohioition against horse stealing doe3 to suppressing horse thieves. Xr prohibitory law that has ever beer, passed has had the effect to entire ly suppress the evil at which it is aim ed. Kansas can and will enforce prohib ition against the tiatlic Ui intoxicating liquors. SaIotns are a curse to any people, and Kansas will never again be gr.i'ty of giving legal sanction to that which everybodo knows to be wrong. Very I nil v yur friend. Jo 1 ix l Sr John. Aniaaofthis city who for years has been a slave to whisky, and realiz ing the danger which ho was in, went to hear Col. Woodford aud before the evening was over he determined to reform; he knew that hn had a terri ble battle to fight and that ha was weakened by his diseased appetite, aud fearing that he was not strong enough to withstand the temptation, waited untill nearly all had left the hall, and then seizing Mr, Woodfod by the hand, begged him to pray for him, saying that he believed in God and that he would answer the Prayers of such a man a3 Mr. Woodford. Tlie great no lle soul of Mr. Woodford overflowed with compassion, and the two men knelt down upon the floor and implot ed the help of Almighty God, It wai at the same time ajgrand and sad sight, a great strong man asking the help of God to give him strength to battle against the awful curse. One of his strongest points ia ''The home" consideration. He claims that there was not a mar. in the audience, no matter how hardened by sin and excess: or how long the por fellow had been tosed a hope'ess wreck on the sad sea of a drunkard's life it made j no difference if the desolating cup had i torn the last vestige of hop from hi j pour heart, while he still huhls the j power to grieve over ihe lot past and ! its old homestead; while memory still I holds ujon the saving influrwees that once surrounded him under that now mouldered roof-tree, and while ;i com bination of love and serrn'.v Fends the hot tears to his eve.
