jFr.ANCE has prohibited the im
portation of American pork. It is
stated that the British Government
does not intend to follow the exam
ple of France, as such a course
would inflict great buffering upon

ists in other countries than America.
Prohibition.
The prohibition bill failed to be
come a law, but what is known as
the high license bill, passed both
houses and is now the law of the
state. Several amendments were
made to the bill before its passage,
and we cannot now give its provis
ions, but will do so as soon as ob
tained. The story about Royal T. Rig
gins, recently published in the
journal, who committed suicide on
a Union Pacific train, near North
Platte, and his remains as claimed,
having been removed from the cas
ket, and sand substituted, turns out
to be a pure canard, manufactured
and published by some smart, would
be detective, of Missouri.

Shackclton & Co., Saline County
Bank, Juonechsk Bros., Joseph Ho
lub aiid Chas. Dogny. The lodj-e
rooms of the Bohemian Benevolent
Society, with the contents, were also
destroyed. The total loss will reach
$25,000. Several persons were hurt,
none Heriously.
One of the strongest reasons why
the Lincoln people and those coun
ties inierested in keeping the capi
tol at Lincoln were so furiously iu
favor.of the appropriation for anoth
er wing was that under the new
apportionment their strength in fu
ture legislatures will be considerably
less than now. The new law, as a
matter of course, increases the rela
tive power of northern and western
Nebraska.
The present legislature seems to
abound in "Strickland's majorities."
The suffrage bill passed the house
by one vote; the prohibition amend
ment has one majority upon some
side, but nobody can yet tell which ;
there is one more vote against the
3-cent railroad bill than for it ; the
chaplain of the senate was elected
by one majority; the immigration
bill was defeated in the house last
evening by one vote. Lincoln

The Record.
Here is another record. The mo
tiou was made to postpone tho con
sideration of the bill, to limit pas
senger fare on railroads to three
ceuts a mile, until Thursday after
noon, thus virtually defeating the
bill. The vote stood as follows :
For killing the bill, Senators Bal
lentine, Coon, Daily, Dinsmore,
Doane, Ervin, Gere, Morse, Myers,
Perkins, Pierce, Powers, Smith and
Zehrung.
For the people, Senators Cady,

of the senate aud

the priutiug contracts. Harry Gib
son of the Omaha Herald, is anoth
er member of the craft that is char
ged with contempt, aud whom the
officer of the senate has been unable
to find. It is a pity if editors can't
tell what they kuow, and if they re

lawful cases, wo don't have much
sympathy for them when placed in

A fire at East Liverpool, Ohio, on
the morning of the 23d ult., burned
a four-story building occupied as a
drug store, feed store, grocery and
dwelling. The proprietor of the
drug store, Win. Sloan, with his
family, lived in the upper portion.
When Mr. Sloan awoke, their escape
was cut off from below, the entire
building being on fire. He caught
up a little daughter and told the
other members of the family to fol
low him, and leaped from the win
dow. From some cause the other
members did uot follow, and eight
persons were burned to death. The
father and daughter are the only
persons left out of a family of ten.
The fire originated in the drug store
aud is believed to be the work of
an incendiary.

Last week near Milton, N. C, an
eagle swooped down upon William
Daniels, through an open window
while the boy was at breakfast, and
attempted to take a fish from his
hand which he was about to put in
his mouth. Quickly dropping the
fish, the bird attacked the lad, tear
ing the flesh from his back and neck
in a fearful manner. The boy at
tempted to defend himself, but was
no match for the eagle. The eagle
succeeded in dragging the boy out
of the door into the yard, where the
fight was renewed with beak and
talons. The lad called loudly for
help. His fathor answered his calls,
but believing it was the devil who
was fighting his boy, took to his
heels and run away. The eagle
would have killed the boy had she
not been fatally wounded iu the
neck by a sharp stick that stood in
the ground in the yard. Several
persons across the river wituessed
the fight but could render no as
sistance. The Pauio.
The excitement in the money
market in New York on the morn
ing of the 25th ult. has not been so
great since the panic of 1S73. "When
the exchauge opened, stocks fell
from yesterday's prices from six to
eight ccnt3, and money oue-half
cent, aud news was auxiously await
ed from Washington. Money was
worth at 12 o'clock one-half per
cent. People could not get the
money to buy stocks, and holders
are compelled to sell. The cause of
the trouble is attributed to the banks
calling for money, and to the three
per cent, funding bill. During the
trouble it is stated that Jay Gould
was all day in his private oflice and
refused to be seen, but his brokers
wore buying and selling during the
day at a profit. The first great break
of money was in the price of stock,
and waa followed by a lull, conse
quent upon the announcement that
Secretary Sherman had determined
to sell $10,000,000 of bonds, but
banks and private banking firms and
brokers made a rush on the sub
treasury as soou as the bullion was
deposited, and so great was the de
mand for cash that withiu three
hours over $300,000 had beeu paid
over the counter. Brokers and
speculators were almost frantic, but
the day closed without any failures
being reported. Every panic caused
by the withdrawal of the money in
circulation shows the necessity and
importance of the government con
trolling exclusively the monetary
affairs of this country, and should
teach our wise legislators that proper
action should be taken in time to
perfect a system so as to prevent
these hurtful contractions made
either to control legislation or
business.
.Lincoln Correspondence.
The past week has been the busi
est of the session, and the House and
Senate have put in some faithful
work, and much haB really been
accomplished.
Of course you will see from the
dailies the regular course of events
here, but no pen can adequately
describe the last hours of a Nebras
ka legislature, and especially the
scenes and speeches of Friday night,
when three members, Van Wyck of
Otoe and Howe and Doane of Doug
las held the senate all night on a
question as to whether the capitol
appropriation bill should precede all
other appropriation bills. Speech
after speech was made, and every
effort upon the part of majority to
get the minority off the floor, but an
agreement wa finally made, and at
fifteen minutes to four Saturday
morning the senate adjourned till 9
o'clock. As I write, the clerk is
reading House Roll 313, which is
appropriations for the current ex
penses of the state government.
Friday, the joint resolution sub
mitting the right of women to vote
to a decision of the electors of the
6tate two years hence, came up in
the senate, and was pnt upon its
passage without debate, and was
agreed to by a vote of 22 to 8, as
follows: Ayes, Baker, Burns of
Dodge, Burns of York, Coon, Daily,
Dinsmore, Doane, Evans, Gere,
Graham, Harrington, Morse, Pcr-
klus, Pierce, Powers, Smith, Tefft,
Turner, Van Wyck, Wells, Wherry,
White. Nays, Ballentine, Cady,
Ervin, Howe, Myers, Taylor, Turk,
Zehrung.
Senator Turner of your district
put on record an explanation of his
vote as follows :
"Our wives, "mothers and sisters,
having an equal interest with us in
the welfare of our commonwealth,
and being equal to ourselves in in-
tclligcnce, there appears no good
reason why the right to vote should
be withheld Irom them. The geniu
of our institutions is opposed to
taxation without re-preseutation ;
opposed to government without tho
consent of the governed, and there
fore I vote aye."
The measure having belore passed
the hou-e, it only awaits the signa
ture ol the governor to be effective
as a submitted question.
On the vote on capitol appropria
tion in tho house Wednesday night,
Lehman of Platte and Wyatt of
Madison were absent. It is due to
tho latter to say that it is reported
he was sick. G.W. Brown of Boone,
for some unaccountable reason,voted
for the capitol appropriation, and it
is reported that Senator Smith will
do the same.
It is certainly "strange" that rep
resentatives whose constituents are
utterly opposed to this unnecessary
expenditure should come here and
vote the other way ; time, probably,
will tell what is now unaccountable.
An amateur troup composed al

California. Letter.
Ceres, Feb. 11th, '81.
Editor Journal : Since my last
letter we have had great changes in
many respects ; one that aflects us
most is the low price of wheat.
Some of our farmers are loading
ships on their own account. Have
had an abundance of ruin, aud iu the
counties north of us floods that have
had nothing to quite equal them in
this country, and a great amount of
crops will be ruined. South of us
we hear of uo floods. The Sacra
meuto aud its branches have fully
come up to the flood of 1SGL-2. The
weather is fine now, building going
ou here all this winter. A very fine
grist mill is being built here, aud
residences going up by several out
side farmers. Our large hall is
completed aud a hotel going up.
One more store has just got a going.
Have had a small pox scare in the
country; some few cases have been
reported, and yellow fligs have been
flying at Modista aud Turlock.
While we read of your cold weath
er east of the Rockies, the teams are
plowing, and I am writing now
with all doors open with weather
like May and June, east. There is
now a good prospect for a good crop
in this(Stauislaus)county this season,
which I hope may be fully realized.
Respectfully,

Both houses were in session on
the 22d ult., and did a rushing bus
iness. A large number of bills have
beeu carried to an advanced place
on the files, and a like number have
been passed.
The midnight and all night ses
sions of the legislature and the pas
sing of bills from one house to the
other, makes it impossible at the
distance of ninety or one hundred
miles away from the Capital to tell
what measures havo become laws or
what bills have been defeated, but
in the midst of this mix and confu
sion we can only guess at facts, and
must wait for reliable information.
The House had a lively time in
discussing and managiug tho prohi
bition bill, but the vote passing the
bill to a third reading would indicate
that the bill may pass in the House.
The bill appropriating $25,000 for
the relief of the destitute of the wes
tern counties was defeated in the
Senate.
The bill appropriating $100,000 for
the completion of the Capital build
ing has passed the house.

Prohibiting the adulteration of
food.
Trausferring the "grasshopper
fund" money to the general fund.
Regulating insurance companies.
Directing counties to furnigh suit
able rooms and buildings for county
officers.
In committee of the whole, the sen
ate considered and reported for pas
sage, the sewerage bill, which has
occupied public attention to a great
extent iu Omaha. The object of
this bill is to authorize or rather
compel that city to levy a tax of 1.
mills to pay for sewers heretofore
constructed.
The sewers were contracted for
by tho city at a cost of about $60,000.
They were built, the warrants is
sued, and a tax levied for their
payment, but the supreme court
decided that, the manner of levying
this tax was unconstitutional, and
so this bill was introduced to enable
the city to levy the tax and pay the
claims.
Senators Doane, Gere, Myer3 and
Taylor favored the bill and Senator
Howe opposed it.
Senate File No. 52 was called up
and was made the special order for
3 p. m. on Thursday.
The house advanced matters by
killing off about a score of bills and
relieving the general file to that
extent.
A message was received from the
governor recommending an appro
priation for the international exhi
bition in New York in 1S83.
Most ot the day was used in dis
cussion of the general appropriation
bill for curreut expenses of state
institutions," oiliuers, etc. The bill
was recommended for passage with
very slight chuugcs from tho
amounts recommended by the com
mittee. The sessions of the legislature
yestorday were protracted until 2
o'clock this morning iu the house,
and a motion for a night session iu
the senate was lost by only one vote.
The senate passed the bills :
Amending chapter 42 of the stat
utes relating to mechanics liens.
Amending chapter 53 of the school
law.
To protect the elections of volun
tary political organizations and pre
vent frauds in the same.

ommended for passage without
amendment.
The bill providing for the furnish
ing of seed grain to sufferers from

villages.
To amend laws relating to school

hall not limit their liability by re
ceipts required to be signed by con
signor. These bills were rejected :

eral statutes relating to agriculture.
Iu the afternoon the house had a
lively tissht over the prohibition
amendment bill which was finally
ordered to a third reading by a vote
of 48 to 30.
Senate File No. 24, having been
rejected at a previous session, was
reconsidered and ordered to a third
reading.
The interest of the evening session
centered in the capital appropriation
bill, which was finally passed by
nearly a two-thirds vote.
The house adjourned at 2 o'clock
a. m.
