Electoral Vote.
The counting of the electoral votce
onthc9lh hist, for President and
Vice President in the presence o:
both houses of congress, the citizens
filling the galleries boforc the hour
appointed, was to our miud one of
the grandest sights witnessed for
many years. This great body of
politicians aud leaders of factions and
political parties assembling and
without a boistrous word acquiesc
ing in the couut which the constitu
tion and laws of the United States
prescribe and demand. This action
will inspire the hopes, of all true pa
triots that so long as tho constitution
and laws are obeyed the country is
safe.
Ladies who could not be seated in
the galleries were granted by resolu
tion the privilege of seats on the
floor.
Vice-President Wheeler sits on the
right hand of Speaker Randall. The
Vice-President announced the ob
ject of the meeting and then said
"I open the package purporting to
contain the certificates of the elec
tion of the state of Alabama, and
hand the certificate to the repor
ter?." Seuator Hamlin read the certifi
cate, slowly, showing Ln votes for
Hancock aud English.
And thus the court proceeded un
til Georgia was reached, Mr. Crow
ley read the certificate, Mr. Sprin
ger demanded reading in full. It
shows that on December 8, the ele
ven votes were cast for Hancock and
English.
"It appearing by the certificate
that the vote of Georgia was cast on
a day other than that fixed by the
constitution aud laws of congress,
the result of this certificate will not
be recorded, until iu tho language
of a resolution under which this
couut proceeds, it will appear
whether the counting or omitting to
count such votes shall change the
result of the election."
After couuting the votes of other
stfite?, the tellers footed up at the
close of the reading, aud Mr. Thur
m:in announced the whole number
of the electoral votos being 3(59, of
which a majority is 185 Were the

received a majority of the whole
number of Electoral

iTHE
meeting: for the interchange
opiuions and discussion of the
railroad question wae held on the
evening of the 7th, iu the senate
chamber at Lincoln, Senator Myers
in the chair. The senate chamber
and galleries were well filled, aud
many experienced railroad men, to
gether with many leading citizens of
Nebraska, were present. Mr. Touza
lin, manager of the B. & M. railroad,
Mr. E. P. Vini
ng, general freight
agent of the U. P. railroad, E. Rose
water, Hon. O. P. Mason aud T. L.
Kimball took part in the dis
cussion and expressed their opin
ions pro and cou upon the
subject, but too lengthy to find a
place in the Journal. On the part
of the friends of the railroads, how
ever, it seems to be the unanimous
expression that from the multiplici
ty of interest connected with the
roads aud which had to be met and
guarded outside of Nebraska, that
no law should be passed on the
subject of discrimination, as other
roads would take advautage of it, to
the injury of all lines running thro'
or into Nebraska.
Mr. Wheden, chairman of the
committee on judicial apportion
ment, reported back, house bill No.
10, as amended, with the recommen
dation that it be passed. This bill
apportions the judicial districts in
our vicinity as follows : The fourth
district is composed of Hamilton,
Merrick, Nance, Polk, York and
Seward counties. The sixth district
is formed of Dixon, Wayne, Cedar,
Knox, Pierce, Madison, Boone, An
telope, Holt, Wheeler and the terri
tory embraced within the Omaha
'and Winnebago reservations. The
seventh district includes the coun
ties of Saunders, Butler, Dodge, Col
fax, Washington, Burt, Cummings,
Stanton aud Platte.
G. W. Lehman, the representative
from this county, has introduced iu
the house a bill to define the county
lines of Henry county, Nebraska.
M. K. Turner, senator from this
district, has introduced three bills in
the senate. One to amend section 8
ofanactto provide for a general
herd law, and to protect cultivated
lands from trespass of stock. One
to amend section 11 of an act enti
tled an act to provide a general elec
tion law, the procedure relative to
contested elections and filling va
cancies In office and oue other bill
to recover damages for tort in civil
actions.
The recent snow storm has shut
out all mail trains east of Omaha,
aud we are compelled to get along
without our usual supply of news
More delay of trains south, east and
west of this point during the past
week than has occurred previously
in ten years.

Continued from last week.)
The rest of the country being dis
tributed amongst his soldiers, the
officers as the landlords, and soldiers
as the tenants. He introduced tho
system of boycottering and forbade
marriages between his soldiers and
Irish womeu. The soldiers, how
ever, found that many of the Irish
girls were very good looking, and
iu spite of his orders frequent mar
riages occurred, and so a great amal
gamation ot tho races took place.
Next, I will notice the disgraceful
penal laws of William the Third,
the shameful disabilities placed on
the Roman catholics who were de
prived of almost tho whole of their
rightsof citizenship. Still harder con
ditions were imposed in 1709 (af
ter William's decease); a papist wa
not to be capable of holding an an
nuity for life, and by another law,
if a child only six years, the son of a
Roman Catholic, went to a Magis
trate aud declared that he was Prot
estant, he could compel his father bv
law to grant an annuity upon the
spot; and those penal laws set up
that foul Protestant ascendency
that tyranny of one class, which has
worked such incalculable harm in
Ireland. It wbb only so recently as
1829 that the Catholics were thor
oughly emancipated. Look how
short a time that was and think of
the bad blood and vindictive hatred
that must lrive been created in the
hearts of all Irish Catholics under
those abominable penal laws.
After the famine many of the es
tates were so encumbered that they
were sold and changed hands, aud
here again they were bought by
people that did not live upou them,
but purchased them as a speculation
and by their agents screwed every
cent of rent they could out of the
tenant.
From this brief sketch of Irelaud
from the time of Elizabeth First, I
come to the conclusion that the Irish
were not so very Irish after all. and
that bv establishing landlordism in
its worst form, by preventing the
fusion of races, and by fostering
religious hatred tho present condi
tion of Ireland is due. As to the
land league of Ireland there were
characteristics that made it quite
distinct from the land system of En
gland. As far as I read all the im
provements in the cultivation of the
soil were effected by the tenants and
not by the landlords. The tenants
were tenants at will and liable to be
turned out on six months notice,
which resembled the English sys
tem. Sfvon hundred and thirty
four persona were the owners of
half of Ireland. That, too, was like
the English system. Coming now
to the reforms wanted first of all a
general reform of the land laws was
wanted both iu England and Irelaud,
but more especially iu Irelaud.
First seek for the abolition of the
law which artificially keeps these
great estates together, and prevents
them from being broken upas they
would be under a free and fair sys
tem of land dealing. When two
parties were fighting as were the
landlords and tenants of Ireland, as
at present, it is the duty of a strong
government to sten between tho
jl two. I would advocate arbitration,
vwyit the government must step in
ami aujuuicaie ami siriKO a sainiac
tory balance between the two par
ties. I believe that the reforms that
1 indicate would result in forming a
peasant proprietory to a great ex
tent in Ireland. The people must
send to parliament men that have
liboral views, and help the Glad
stone government to pass good
measures for them.

California. Letter.
Loyalton, Cal., Feb. 1, '81.
'Tis mid-winter in the heart of the
Sierra's. In this land, so famed in
song and story for ita deep snows
and crupl winds we, ex-grasshopper
sufferers, late from the balmy
fields of Nebraska, find ourselves
this first day of February, enjoying
a fresh, spring-like rain, and awake
to the consciousness that one winter
is past. Grass is from 3 to 6 inches
high, aud farmers are plowing and
preparing for seed time. We have
had a very mild winter; the mercury
has not fallen below zero since
Christmas. When I read of the
severe winter there am I not excusa
ble for saying I have no desire to try
existence any longer, when the ther
mometer stands among the thirties
and my wood-pile consists of six
cobs, two barrel staves, an old boot,
and a bone from which the heat of
summer has absorbed all that could
be combustible. It compares unfa
vorably with the eternal supply of
pine logs 75 feet in length. Who
can say that such matters do not
afford inward tranquility to any
woman?
Our valley is four thousand feet
above the level of the sea; and con
sequently is more or less frosty the
year round, and is by no means the
most desirable portion of California.
The butter produced here is consid
ered "gilt edged," and commands a
high market price. The climate is
salubrious. Fruit is not grown here,
but is raised abundantly in localities
near us where the altitude is not so
great. Religious privileges and in
terests are poor and weak. There is
a good opening for some wi'de-awake
missionary. Our people arc intelli
gent, but their constant forgetful-
ucss ot tue b.iDoatn, aim peculiar
taste for gambling, cannot but create
a feeling of surprise in the minds of
those not accustomed to such indiff
erence. Although I have lived here in
years gone by, it will never seem
home-like; aud when I gaze upon
the snow-capped mountains, which
are ever before me, rising twelve and
fifteen thousand feet, I almost, imag
ine myself among the Alps; and a
great yearning comes into my heart
for the dear mother, brothers and
sisters, so far away, some even upon
the shores of the Atlantic, and one,
the loved of all, who waits for me on
the hills of Paradise. Also for the
many friends whose affectionate re
gard added so much to the quiet
happiness of my life.
My sympathies are with the many
whose homes and dear ones are out
upon the prairie this bitter winter;
the fuel question must be a most
serious oue. S. M. W.
Coinmonplacc.
"A commonplace lift, we say, and wo
sigh;
But why should wc slab, as we say?
The commonplace sun in thu common
place sky,
Make. up the commonplace day;
The moon aud the stars are common-
place things,
And the flower that blooms, aud the
bird that sinus:
But dark were the world and sad our lot
If the flowers failed and the sun shone
not;
And God who studies p:ih separate
soul,
Out of commonplace lives nukes his
beautiful whole."
Do not tire "of your life because it
is a commonplace one; for it mat
ters not so much what sphere you
move in, as how you move, nor so
much what position you occupy, as
how you fill it. If you act well
your part, doing your best, under
all circumstances your life will not
be a failure, but a success, a grand,
uoble one, and the world will be
better off for your having lived in it.
It matters not so much whether you
possess few or many "talents," as
whether you make the most of them
or not. The Master said, "Occupy
till I come." If you make a good
fight of it, regardless of how dark
things look, and leave the rest to
Him, your reward will be great,
even though your life was only a
commonplace one. N. D. Howe.

most practicable way of eudiug the
discriminations, and rings within
rings that are robbing the producers
and shippers of the country in the
interests ot a few men. Second, to

of taxes so that each property owner
will be compelled to pay according
to the protection that his property
requires. Third, to work for the
elevation of agriculture by tho men
tal, moral and social improvement

affected by frequent meetings, free
discussions, cultivating and devel

rational system of tillage one guid
ed by the exercise of more brains,
and thereby commaud a return
