A report the other day from Chi
cago reached new York that there
was an attempt in the former city to

ket that would dwarf the great one

is fearful to contemplate.
The explosiou of the gas works

o'clock at night. The house took
proper actiou to have his remains
removed from Hot Springs to New
York by the Hergeaut-at-arms, and
attended by a committee of uiue
member of the house. Mr. Wnod
had been a member of the honse
from New York for nearly tweuty
years.
Hon. E. K. Valentine, our rep
resentative iu cougrees, recently
made a speech iu the house in the
contested case- between Yeates and
Martin from the first district in
North Carolina, exposing the tricks
aud frauds resorted to in their ef
forts to defeat a republican candi
date for congress. The tacts brought
out in this speech may be valuable
for future reference aud should be
carefully filed away by those receiv
ing a copy.
By a recent decisiou made in the
court of common pleas of Lake Co.,
Ohio, in a case of contest betweeu
the two sects of the Mormons for
the possession of the temple of
Kirtlaud, where Joseph Smith
founded the Morui ou church in 1830,
the court holds that the Smith Ites
are the true members of the origi
nal church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints aud are entitled to the
property, because the church in Utah
'has departed from the faith, doc
triues, laws, ordinances aud usages
of said original church."
Geo. M. Rousu, a promiueni aud
wealthy stock raiser, died suddenly
one uight iu his bed, some three
years ago; it was supposed from
heart disease. His estate amounting
to about fifty thousand dollars was
divided among his three children
aud wife. The latter following him
to the grave about a year later.
This all happeued at Bloomington,
III. His eon, Peter, went into Nor
thern Iowa, and succeeded well iu
business adding to his wealth, mar
ried well, and accounted a valuable
citizen. Last week he died, and
while ou his death bed he made con
fession to his pastor and physician
that he murdered his father in order
to get his share of the property, by
placing poison iu a glass of water
which he kept in his room to drink-
in the night.
Is
ngkrsoll has been com
menting recently on that democratic
and religious institution of Dela
ware, knowu as the "whipping post."
He excited a wouderful amount of
indignation among the people, and
so incensed was Judge Cornegs that
he charged the grand jury to find a
true bill against one Robert the
Devil, otherwise known as Robert
J. Ingersoll. for blasphemy lately
uttered by him in that state in a lec
ture entitled "What Shall I do to be
Saved." The grand, jury failed to
bring iu au indictment, but made a
report in which Robert was indicted
with a large number of very abusive
words and his lecture characterized
as having "no parallel in the habits
of respectable vagabondism," that he
was an "arch-blasphemer and reviler
of God and religion."
Woman Suffrage.
The members of the House at Lin
colu by resolution gave the lady
representatives of woman suffrage
the privilege to appear before the
house and present arguments in
favor ot the right to female suffrage.
A large number of ladies were pres
ent iu the gallery, and on the floor
of the house, aud the greatest atten
tion and respect were shown to the
speaker?, who were Mrs. Brooks aud
Mrs. Dinsmore of Omaha, nnd Mrs
Colby of Beatrice. We judge of the
effect of their speeches upon mem
bers by the action of the House in
passing the following resolution :
Iiesolced, That the thanks of this
House be presented to the ladies
who have addressed us, and that we
wish them God speed in their work.
The bill pending before the House
doubtless received some strength
from the addresses aud speeches of
lady fiiends.
James Riggins of Missouri, who
shot himself at Gaunett station,
while traveling on a U. P. traiu, re
quested iu his memorandum book
written in pencil that his remains
might be sent home to be buried at
Fillmore, Mo. His remains were
takeu to North Platte where a coro
ner's jurv returned a verdict in
accordance with the facts of his
death. His brother-in-law, Dr. E.
B. Ensor had received word of his
death aud requested his remains to
be forwarded to Omaha, which ac
cordingly was done, aud taken
churge of by Undertaker Jacobs. At
Omaha Mr. Jacobs, as requested,
placed his remains iu a metalic case.
Iu a short time the brolher-in-law
returned from North Platte whore
he went to obtain the ctlects of the
young man, which consisted ot
over eight hundred dollars iu money
and at once took charge of the
remaius and started for Fillmore,
Mo., where he arrived in due time,
and without opening the case his
remains were deposited in the Fill
more cemetery. It turned out that
the young man's life was insured,
aud when the application was nvule
for the inmiraucc, suspicious had
been created on the refusal to open
the case, that matters were uot right
iu the report of his death, and last
week, the case was taken from the
grave at Fillmore cemetery, when
the startling and mysterious discov
ery is made that the colli n contained
nothiug but sand. The matter of
when and where, and by whom the
body was removed from the case,
aud fand substituted, still remains a
mystery.
Legislative.
Mr. Jackson's bill making the sa
loon license $1,000 in cities of the
first cla-a, was considered in com
mittee of the whole so as to include
cities of the second class. When
the committee arose it recommen
ded that the bill be passed as amen
ded. Mauy express the opiuiou that
the passage of the bill is very
doubtlul.
Iu answer to the resolution of in
qury recently passed iu the senate,
the state librarian says that since his
first appointment he has received
as fees the sum of $0,057,45; that he
has paid for deputies and other ex
penses $3,410; that there is no law
to prevent him from doiug just what
he has done, and that was to put the
balance of these fees in his own
pocket.
Two bills are pending in the sen
ate on congressional apportionment
aud defiuiug the districts. Bill No.
120 places Platte county in the sec
ond district, and iu connection with
Douglas, Sarpy, Washington, Burt,
Dakota, Dixon, Cedar, Madison,
Pierce, Knox, Antelope, Boone.
Nance, Howard, Groeley, Wheeler,
Holt, Valley, Snerman, Custer and
all the uuorganiz3d counties uorth
of the Platte river.
The other bill No. 127, places Platte
couuty in the third district, which
embraces Washington, Burt, Dakota,
Dixon, Cedar, Wayue, Stanton,
dimming, Dodge, Colfax, Madisou,
Pierce, Kuox, Antelope, Boone,
Nance, Merrick, Hall, Howard,
Greeley, Wheeler, Holt Valley,
Sherman, Buffalo, Dawson, Custer,
Liucolu, Keith, Sioux and other ter
ritory north of the Platte river.
M. K. Turner, senator trom thi
district, introduced the other day
a bill for an act relative to the taxa
tion of -mortgages aud mortgaged
real estate.
Also a resolution directing the
committee on nuance ways and
meaus, to inquire into the fcasibili
tv of loaning the surplus fund; iu
the state troasury to banks or otherl
responsible parties, and receiving
interest for the same for the beuefit
of the state.
he following bills have passed
the legislature and are now laws of
the state:
To provide for the pavinput of of
ficers and members ot the legisla
ture. An act to provide for the pay
ment of the incidental expenses of
the legislature.
An act providing for the payment
of salaries due stenographers and
reporters of the various judicial dis
tricts of Nebraska.
An act providing for the organi
zation, government aud powers of
cities, towus and village.
An act to amend section 1, of an
act entitled "an act to incorporate
cities of the first-class."
Au act authorizing the county
commissioners of Polk county tol
use $4,200 of the sinking fund to
build a court house.
To a looker on at the proceed
ings in the house of representatives
at Liucolu, much time of that body
is taken up iu attempting foolish,
unconstitutional aud worthless leg
islation that never can in any possi
ble way benefit their coustituants
for the reason, that if passed they
could iu no one cae ever be enfor
ced whi'e our citiz us have their
liberty and fieedom. We refer to such
legislation and bills as have alrea
dy been introduced -for the purpose
of prohibiting the use of tobacco for
chewing, smoking or entitling. Aud
of a similar character a bill making
it a misdemeanor for any citizen tu
"see a nun" for the purpose of treat
ing him to intoxicating liquors.
It is admitted that there is a great
deal of legitimate aud necessary leg
islation needed iu Nebraska to per
fect the statute laws of the state,
aud it is strange why wise legisla
tors do uot set about it and finish
the work.
l.im-olu Correspondence.
February 12th, 1831.
The "blizzard" which set in Thurs
day night is still raging fiercely, and
all traino here are blocked ; on some
Hue's the traius are suowed iu, leav
ing nothing but the smoke-stack ot
the locomotive in sight. Owing to
the long-coutiuued cold wealheraiid
the numerous snows of the winter,
together with the unprecedented
consumption of hay and grain, great
apprehension is felt here for the
stock interests of the state. The
truth is, in the light of all the disas
ters which have befallen our stock
interests, no man should undertake
to raise stock without beiug amply
provided with good shelter for the
same. Money enough has beeu lost
by the death of stock through ex
posure, to have erected good shelters
for all we have.
Legislative matters are dragging
their slow length along; this is the
twenty-seventh day of the session,
and yet no bill has become a law, ex
cepting that making appropriation
for the expenses of this legislature.
Gen. Van Wyck is still present in
the senate, doing excellent work.
Beiug an intelligent man, he bears
his added honors iu a manly way.
The present legislature seems de
termined to do some legislation ou
railroads, in pursuance of the provi
sions of the constitution. To a
special committee appointed by the
Senate, has been assigued the dut)
of drafting biilw, which will undoubt
edly meet with the approval of a
majority of the senate and perhaps
also of the house. This subject, is
acknowledged to be the most diffi
cult of all upon which the legislature
will be called upon to pass, owing
to the lack of information touching
the inside affairs of railroad aud
other corporations which would be
included in the scope of laws which
it is desired to enact. This legisla
ture, if it shall pass any laws, must
assume that abuses, extortions and
unjust discriminations exist, and
make the best provisions they can
looking towards efficient remedy of
the evils complained of. It was a
notable fact that at the public meet
ing of the standing railroad com
mittees of the two houses, held in
the senate chamber several eveuiugs
since, none of the railroad officials
made any reference to the value of
the franchises of the roads. This
important factor iu their value has
cut no figure whatever in their as
sessment, while it is, confessedly,
the most important portion of some
of them. The constitution sayp.
Art 9, Sec. 1, "the legislature shall
provide such revenue as may be
needful, by levying a tax by valua
tion, so that every person and cor
poration shall pay a tax in propor
tion to the value of his, her or its
property aud franchises, the value to
be ascertaiued in such manner as the
legislature shall direct."
It seems to be the determination
of this legislature to do the best they
cau on present information, and the
proposed objects of the bills intro
duced and to be introduced are: to
provide tor more aud moreaccurate
information concerning the details
of the corporations upon which the
constitution requires legislation; to
provide a rule for ascertaining the
value of railroad property and fran
chises; iu a very general way to
provide against unjust discrimina
tion. It Is on this latter subject that
there eeeme to be a good deal of
trouble. A table of rates laid down
iu a s'atute is generally conceded to
be among the possibilities for a leg
islature to fix upon, but something
can be done, and it is proposed to do
ihat by a provision that no reasona
ble man cau make objection to.
Your seuator has. introduced two
measures which have caused as much"
debate perhaps as any two things
yet broached in the senate, viz: au
amendment to the herd law adding
to the definition of "cultivated lauds,"
aud a resolution concerning the de
vising of a way whereby the state
may receive iuterest on surplus
funds iu the treasury, instead of their
going to bankers, to be, of course,
loaned to the people at commercial
rates.
Several members of the legislature
are sick at the Commercial, of which
house there is cousiderable com
plaiut on the score of ventilation.
To a looker-on here it would seem
that if the legislature succeeds in
making the proper apportionment of
judicial, congressional, senatorial
and representative districts; in pass
ing some ueeded measures on rail
road tariffs &c ' id settling the
liquor question by a stringent license
law, by prohibition, or by a submis
sion ot the nutter to the vote of the
people; and in making some much
needed amendments to present laws
they will be doing well for the time
yet to be occupied. Most certainly,
there are a vast number of bills iu
the hopper that will never, be ground
through. Yours,
Wampum.

WILL BK GARFIELD, AND HIS INAUGURA
TION MARKS THE CLOsK OK HIE
fWKNIIETH YKAIt OK THE RULE
OK THE REPUBLICAN PAR'i .
As only a little more th-iu a week
intervenes before the inauguration
of Garfield as the twentieth Presi
dent oi the United States, and mark
ing the end of the twentieth con
secutive year of the control of the
government by the Uepublicau par
ty, the adherents of that faith, a.-
well as every man of other belief,
becomes more and more interested
in the detailsof thegraud programme
arranged for the momentus day.
There is much studying of time
tables and comparing of advuutages
of the different railroads by which
the people from the West can reach
Washington. There i,' however,
but one railroad having direct tracks
from the West to Washington, aud
this, as is well known, is the Balti
more aud Ohio. All other lines
reach Washington by circuitous
routes, which necessitates more time
ou the road, as the distance is lon
ger. The Baltimore and Ohio's
"Daiey Train," which leaves St.
Louis in the morning, reaches Wash
ington at uoou the next day, a whole
half dav in advance of the fastest
trains ou other lines. This is a
pretty strong statement, but any one
who will take the trouble to com
pare 1 1 if time table of the Baltimore
and Ohio with those of competing
lines, will readily discover it to be
the absolute truth. Those who go
from West of the Missouri River via
St. Louis, make direct connection iu
the Union Depot with the "Daisy
Train." Those who prefer going via
Chicago make direct connection
there with the evening train of the
Baltimore and Ohio, which arrives
iu Washington a uight in advance
of the traius on other lines. Cer
tainly no road is more thoroughly
equipped for the transportation of
large numbers of people than the
Baltimore and Ohio, and with its
superb new sleepers, constructed
expressly for the company, its ele
gant new dining cars, and its splen
did day coaches, there is nothing
lacking that the most exacting pas
senger could demand, The Balti
more and Ohio puts on sale its low
round trip tickets on Tuesday,
March 1st, anil they will tie goou
jroing- ou any train up to and'" in
cluding the uight of the 3d ; return
ing, these tickets will be good on
any train up to the evening of the
8th inst.
