After a contest of five days, and
on the seventeenth joint ballot, last
Saturday Geu. U. Van Wyck, of
Otoe county, was elected by the two
houses: of the Nebraska legislature.
United States Senator from Nebras
ka, for the term of six years, com
mencing ou the 4th of March next.
This vote resulted as follows: Gen.
Van Wyck received 08 votes, Mr.
Paddock 30, Judge Kinney 4, and
Governor Nance 4.
Those who are best acquainted
with Gen. Van Wyck unite in the
opiniou that he will make a true and
able senator, and that the interests
of the state of Nebraska will not
suffer in his hands. He has some
experience in legislation having
served while living in New York
four successive terms in Congress
aud is at the present time a member
of the Nebraska senate, where he
has exhibited no mean knowledge
and talent in the application of par
liamentary law in the transaction of
business iu that body. His election
tolerably well settles the custom
which has gained consideral strength
now that no United States senator
from Nebraska can be elected a
second term. It may now be writ
ten that the custom has been fully
established among politicians ot
Nebraska, that a senator's term from
this state expires in six years, and
that under no circumstances can he
be re-elected.
Upon the whole, we don't know
but what the custom is a good one,
especially so far as the rotation and
distribution of office is concerned,
their being so many applicants, it
will give a better chance to encircle
the political crowd in Nebraska.

One ot the most daring and suc
cessful robberies that has occurred
in this state, took place at Wauhoo
on last Saturday evening. The
agent of the road, Mr. C. T. Hender
son, was still at the depot at 10
o'clock waiting for the arrival of a
delayed train, aud while sitting
there alone two masked men entered
the room, one of them holding a
cocked revolver in each hand, or
dered Henderson to hold up his
hands and gave him just two min
utes to unlock the office safe, which
he did, aud from which the robbers
took about $922 00 aud after lock
ing the agent in the room made
their escape.
One of the robbers was about five
feet, ten inches in height, rather
slender, and wore a gray overcoat
which reached nearly to his knees.
The other robber was short, thick
set, and about five feet, tour inches
in height. 'He had on a short gray
overcoat, patched in the lower left
hand corner. A reward of $250 was
offered for the capture and convic
tiouofthe parties who perpetrated
the deed aud for the recovery of the
mouey.
A ballot was taken in the house,
at Lincoln, ou the 18th at 5 o'clock
p. m. for United States senator,
which resulted as follows: Puddock
28; Vau Wyck 11; Weaver 11; Ma
son 7: Dundy S ; Nance 1 ; Wakely
7; Mandersonl; Post 7; Kaley 1 ;
Laird 1. The senate took a ballot
at G p. m. Paddock received 11 ;
Vau Wyck 3 ; Weaver 3; Mason 2 ;
Dundy 3 ; Nauce 1 ; Wakely 3 ; Post
2; Teft 1. Those voting for Pad
dock in the senate worn Baker,
Evans, Harrington, Morse, Myers,
Perkins, Smith.Turuer, Wells, White,

The recent apportionment intro
duced iu Congress by Mr. Cox, fixes
the number of representatives at 301.
The bill gives Nebraska three repre
sentatives in congress. This bill
will make the following losses aud
gains: Arkansas, California, Iowa,
Michigan, Mississippi, South Caro
lina and West Virginia gain one
each, Kansas gains three, Texas four,
Minnesota aud Nebraska uain two
each, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
Hampshire, Maine.-Tennessee, Indi
ana, Florida and Vermont lose oue,
and New York loses two.
An anti-Paddock caucus was held
on the night of Ihe 21st, at which
forty members pledged themselves
to vote for him under no circum
stanced. There was some trouble at
the Paddock caucus between the
Nance men and the friends of Pad
dock, the former seeking to bind the
latter to an agreement by which one
or the other candidate should re
ceive the full strength of the caucus
throughout the fight. The Paddock
men would not agree to it, and about
twenty Nance men withdrew.
Miss Cardukk aud Miss Dough
erty while coasting the other day at
Reading, Pa., were fatally injured.
The brave young man who was
guiding the sled Baw the danger,
rolled off and escaped injury; while
the sled sped forward with the girls
crashiug against a telegraph pole,
fracturing the skull of Miss Carduff
and ma&hiug her face to a jelly,
while Miss Dougherty had her back
broken and her internal organs fear
fully ruptured.
The vote for senator in joint con
vention at Lincoln on the 19th, gave
Paddock foity votes, gaining only
one vote over his former figures.
All guessiug as to the final resnlt
seems out of place, but if the demo
cratic principle of the majority rul
ing, should happen to strike that
joint convention's petty factions, it
might let in one ray of light from
the people.
Lincoln Correspondence.
LiNCoLN,,Jan. 22, 1880.
The senatorial contest is over at
last, culminating this evening. Of
course, you will get tho particulars
as to the vote, from the dailies, but
they can never give you all tho ius
and outs of the contest. It seemed
to be a general opinion at the first
of the session that the election would
be had on the third or lirfli ballot,
and that Senator Padd -cl; would
make it on the first or second, or
not nt all. It was a general surprise
that his forces remained solid
throughout and could not be stam
peded. This was due to several
considerations; among them, Mr.
Paddock was believed to be the
choice of the constituencies repre
sented, as against other candidates;
he was kuowu to be the second
choice of a very large majority ol
the joint convention; until the mo
ment of its accomplishment by the
auti-Paddcck caucus, the friends of
the Senator did not believe that the
opposition could agree to support a
caudidate, much less that that can
didate would be Van Wyck, but so
it was, and the first ballot taken bj
the joint convention after the recess
evidenced that all the members ol
the caucus were true to their pledge.
The Snuator elect is an able man
and an ardent republican. He is
now a member of the State senate
from Otoe count)'. Having been in
congress before (tix years from New
York) his present good fortuue is
not likely to turn his head.
Amoug the happy men upon the
platform during the progress of the
last ballot was Mr. Ilosewater ot the
Omaha Bee, whose face was all
smiles. This was likewise the case
with Mr. Crouine. The new Sena
tor is supposed to be on good terms
with these men and with the Saun
ders element of the party.
Your correspondent believes that
while Gen. Vau Wyck will not for
get those who elected him, he will
yet recognize as worthy of regard
auy good Nebraskan.
It is to be hoped that the legisla
ture will now be free to do its regu
lar legislative business. There has,
as yet, beeu no discussion of bills in
the Sunate, none having passed to a
third reading. The House is about
to wrestle with a large number of
bills.
The prohibition question is mak
ing some stir iu the city, but has not
come up for discussion in the legis
lature; iu fact, what with contesting
for seats aud general maneuvering
for position in the senatorial battle,
members have had their thoughts
too much occupied to do much leg
islation. I find uo objection among
members, so far as I have talked
with them, to submitting the prop
osition of prohibition to the people,
in the shape of an amendment to,
the constitution.
Fred. Nye, one of the Omaha He
publican's correspondents here, has
gone out of his way to try to belittle
the senator from your district, M.K.
Turner, whose quiet cooluess during
the ballotings tor senator seems to
have been a special offense to this
"nervous spectator." Freddie may
learu, after a long while, that men :
may differ from him in opinion, aud
yet be neither fools uor knaves. The
"amateur journalist" and precocious
prophet should make a deeper study
of human nature.
Everybody is remarking the splen
did winter weather, which gives us

After the announcement of the
result of the election of Gen. Vau
Wyck U. S. Senator, and in response
to repeated vociferous calls the sen
ator elect came forward and deliver
ed the following address:
"Mr. President and Members of
the Legislature of Nebraska :
You will believe nie when I say that
words can faintly express the feeling
of gratitude I experience for the
great honor you have done me this
day. Jt is no light honor to be elect
ed a representative iu the highest
tribunal in the American republic of
a sovereign, noble people. It is an
honor to represent any slide in this
Union upon the floor of the United
States senate, and still more so to
represent one of the grandest, young
est and strongest of the sisterhood of
states, and I thank you for having
placed me this day in that position.
Asa .state we look upon our present
with gratification, pride and joy, and
when we look at the possibilities of
the- future for ourselves as a com
monwealth we may take courage and
feel that the time is not far distant
when this young but growing state
of ours will stand side by side with,
and the peer of, the noblest and
grandest in the galaxy of states. 1
rejoice with you and with the people
of Nebraska that we have gone thro'
the contest, exciting though it was,
with no feeling of bitterness or hos
tility anywhere. Now that the bat
tle is over, though the contest has
been wajjed resolutely and with de
termination, probably in this great
body and in the legislature there is
no unkind or unpleasant feeling in
any direction. We may congratulate
ourselves that this campaign has
been free from that. While a ripple
was produced this morning over a
little circttmstauce that transpired, it
is due to me, due to this legislature,
due to the commonwealth of Nebras
ka, due to the judicial mantle which
he has worn so long and honorably,
through so many years, (cries of
good, good, good, and a storm of ap
plause,) that in the caucus of the
republican party this afternoon, there
were explanations made in regard to
that matter to prove that there was
no tarnish upon the name, fame or
honor of Judge Dundy. (Tremen
dous applause.) It was not to be ex
pected that every candidate could
come out of this contest victorious,
hut we liavCa riht to say that every
candidate has come out with his
houorand integrity unsullied. Stand
ing here to-day looking into the
future, I can promise that all I have,
all I am, aud.nl! F ever expect to be,
will be devoted to the service of this
state. (Applause.) I pledge to you
an honest purpose, and that is all I
can give you in return for this great
honor you have this dav placed upon
me. Although elected by this great
re ublicaii party of Nebraska to-day
T become a representative of the
state of Nebraska without reference
to party aillluitions. (Applause.)
A to the party whose standard bear
er I have become, I will be true to
my work, and I will best discharge
my duty to that party when I have
discharged my duty to my state and
my country." (Long continued
applause.)

Lincoln, Jan. 18, '81.
Quite a dramatic scene occurred in
the Senate on Monday afternoon, in
which Senator Vau Wyck and Lieu
tenant-Governor Cams were the
principal actors. The Senate was
considering the coutested election
case of Jones v. Wells, from Saline
county. Senator Van Wyck had the
floor and had called for the poll
books and ballots, which had been
brought iu a tin box and deposited
on the desk of the Lieutenant-Governor,
as presiding officer of the
Seuate. During the course of Van
Wyck's remarks he asked the Lieutenant-Governor
to permit him to
inspect the contents of the box.which
was refused : Cams ruling that Van
Wyck could not inspect the ballots
and poll books without permission
ot the Seuate. Thereupon Van Wyck
demanded of the Lieutenant-Governor
if he was goiug to rule that a
member of the Senate could not
without consent of a majority be
permitted to see the evidence on
which he was called upon to vote as
to the right of tho two claimants to
a seat iu that body, and was ho going
to gag the minority and dragoon
them into retaining the sitting sena
tor because a majority had the phys
ical power to refuse the inspection
of the evidence and to cxaniine the
ballots to see whom the people of
Saline county had elected. "If such
be your ruling," continued the senator,-
turning on the president with
flishiug eye, "then I demand the
right as a senator' of the state of
Nebraska to inspect the contents of
that box aud defy your power, or the
power of a majority of this body to
prevent me from heariug and exam
ining the evidence which I am called
upon to decide. I demand it as my
right aud the right of every senator
on this floor aud I dare you to re
fuse !" The senator paused for a
reply. The Lieutenant-Governor
looked wildly arouud at the senator
tors for some one to come to his
relief; but no relief came. The seu
ator from Cass excitedly exclaimed,
"As I understand the chair to rule,
senators on the floor cannot inspect
the evidence on which they are to
decide this case." Other senators
claimed the floor aud put similar
questions to the lieutenaut governor
when a member read the statute on
the right of a member to Bee and
examine the evidence and the Lieutenant-Governor
without reversing
his ruling and without a word, aud
with the worst possible grace slowly
handed the tin box containing the
evidence to the defiant senator from
Otoe, amid a roar of laughter from
the members and galleries at the
expense of the Lieutenant-Governor,
aud applause for the belligerent
senator from Otoe.
Three men attempted a grave
robbery near Gann,iu Knox county,
O., one night last week, and explo
ded a torpedo that had been placed
on the coffin for protection, which
instantly killed a man named Dip
per and broke the leg of another.
The third party, .who was keeping
watch, succeeded in getting his com
panions into a sleigh aud made his
escape.
Last week a big strike occurred
in New York at Weber's piano fac
tory and at Hurt. Bros., French &
Co., Flint & Co's furniture factories.
At least 700 men have stopped work.
It appears that some of the workmen
have been compelled to work more
hours without au advance of pay.
The piano men were to be reduced
10 per cent.
Ei. Parker's cac was disposed
of by Judge Dundy one day last
week, by imposing a fine of $ 100 and
the payment of the costs ot the pros
ecution. He was only charged with
stealing property or mail matter of
less value than $15. In view of Ed's
former character we think the sen
sence of the court the best that could
have been made.
Gen. Grant visited Albany, N.Y.,
the other day. He was the guest of
Gov. Cornell. Aud while passing
from the depot to the governor's
house, the enthusiasm was intense
among the throngs lining the side
walks. PE0BATE NOTICE.
