SENATE CHAMBER ,
LINCOLN. Fobuary
Tt ia said that the A. & N. rail
road haa offered to place a special
train at the disposal of the member *
of the Lgi.-lature to take au excur
sion to Tcpeka , Kanoaa. In con
versation with u numter of Senators
I find them uiHj.o : d to accept the
profler.
Chanlaln Alexander resigned his
pobition In the i euittritiary some
w-eekf eiuce , and will sever hia con
nection March 1st , BO that the edi
tor labora under a mistake in sup
posing that he is Interested in the
bill for increase of salary. The"blll
comes from Senator "Biancbard , and
disposes of the office of librarian ,
who now gets $400 and his hoard ,
which , with the salary ol the chap
lain , 1300 , ranker 5700 and one
man's * oaid , with no regular teach
er at present. The measure in
question combines the three offlcee
into one , with but small increase of
expense.
Senator Kenuard has been ap-
priced of his appointment as ono of
the board of appraisers of Chero
kee lands iu Kansas and Indian
Territory , with the neat little salary
of S8 per day and expenses. This
is the office which has been made
notorious by the testimony of Small ,
representative from Clay , before the
iJ. & M. investigation committee ,
in which he slated that Hitcbeoet
rir.it through ex-Gov. Butler , and
afterward directly said "thai Mr.
Hitchcock had received Irom the
Secretary of the Interior a letlei
placing at hia disposal aa appoint
ment as appraiser" certain lauds ,
which I understood him to bo In
dian lands out iu Kansas * * *
and ho proposed to give me a bight
at it. " * * * It had been olier-
ed to two others , Fitcbpatrick and
Mills by other parties , but Butler
claimed that he had the the exclus
ive control of that appointment ,
and that he had oflered it to anoth
er , who was hesitating to accept it ,
and HO he felt at liberty to bestow
it upon Small. This ia the office
which Kenard obtains for his ines
timable services in the late benato-
riai contett , and unlike the young
in n referred to Tom accepts any
thing.

to puss and jmt an end to the ex
istence of (1) ( ) bill relative to trans
fer of peraouai property ; (2) ( ) for pro

mortgaged personal proporty. This
commute haa had more bills refer

which was referred to teems to lie

tion referred to in a former letter as

referred to the committee on enroll

only Van Wyck , Garfleld , North

was absent when it was before the
eenate for passage , and upon his re
turn asked leave to record his
vote , No. " His ooJccUoEs to
the bill I give : (1) ( . Some
of the building lund , warrants were
issued in excess of the law ; (2) In
his opinion some of the ranie war
rants were given to State officers for
obtaining contracts , and are hence
void ; (3) ) if the certificates of in
debtedness isiued by the iubpectors
of the penitentiary are legal and
valid against the State , then they
should be presented to the Auditor ,
who is directed to draw his warrant
for the amount if round correct.
The fact that the Auditor did not
draw his warrant in payment there
of IB evidence that they were not
issued according to law. If there
ba any ground for these objections ,
the bill had better die in the House ,
and it may be well for Senators to
Rive the bill a thorough perusal , as
the Senator from Cumiug is usually

Blufls Wednesday and during the
evening received R lelegrain from
Mr. A D. Joaea , of this city , invit-

here. Mr. Carey having no engage

invitation , and spoke at the Acad

of the day a subject upt n which
he is well posted.
Although it was rather a fholt
notice he waa welcomed by uite a
large audience , as he is an eloquent ,
flucntand. entertaining speaker ,
having a national reputation.
Mr. Carey is a gentleman of about
nfty-five years of age , of command
ing and dignified presence , audpoc-
beasing a delivery which Captivates
and holds his hearers from tiret to

and exj atant manner , often cans-

he replied that he was like a sreat

grams of the last two days , lie

there would be a reformation and a

The strength of tha Independent
party had not been fully developed
iu the lost election , owing to the
fact that i large number of persons
who really wanted to vote the
Cooper and Carey ticket did not dose

Is a forgery , forged by J. 1) Flana
gan ; lust no such letter was ever
written by C.E.rerkmsorrecoivei

claimed , by J. W. Irving or J G. T.
and that no power or authority

to draw araftM on the Burlington < L
Missouri River Railroad Company
In Nebnibka for money to u&e in the
pcaalorial election , or to use for po
hticnl purpose * of any kind. Ant
the committee further believe , that
as the proof ehow. , neither Alvii
Saundcrs , Clinton Briggs , nor J. M.
Marquotlc , used any money of the
said railroad company , to in an\
way influence the senatorial elec
tion "
The committee recommend , sec
oudly , that the letter purporting to
have been addressed to J. G. Tay
lor , and signed hy Wm. Irving , in
structing him ( Taylor ) to cish al
drafts recouimendtd by Marquette ,
aud to note the account of the
Omaha BEK" for one hundred doi-
lard per mouth , nnd the "Linco'n
Globe" for seventy-five dollars per
month , etc. , was a forgery.
The third separate recommenda
tion of the committee I copy In
full :
"That vri- further believe thai
thera is HO proof whatever that auj
money has urcu. paid , or that there
ever was any agieemeat to pay any
money for political purposes , either
to the Omaha BKE or the Lincoln
Globe , or to any one connected with
said - or for other -
uuppr any pui-
pose than for job work or adyertis-
mg , or other rightful aud legitimate
purposes ! N or is there any proof that
er.ld railroad company sends mea-
f-ages free over its line of telegraph
for either of said newspapers Bui
the proof is that for all matter tent
over the wires by either of said pa
pers they charged thewame as tbe
associated press charges for like
matter. The pi oof clearly shows
that said lailroad company has not
use ! any mouoy for political pur-
posen , or for any other than legiti
mate purposes "
The committee then reviewed the
papers in full , and declared the
whole thing to ba one stupendous
fraud , concluding their report as
follows :
"That there is no evidence that
Mr. Hitchcock , or any other of the
candidates , used any money to cor
ruptly furtherance the election of a
U. 8 Senator at the late Senatorial
election. All of which is respect

dticior , a coal-black negroiuacaftan
and pantaloons which should ha of
the uudrivea snow , but the tint of
which reminds you far mure forcibly
of snow lifter it lias been on the
giounrt for a week , 01 atter a couple
of chimney-sweop3 have had an up-
and-down tight upon it. This man ,
possibly a JSubiau , is terribly pitted
with the pmall-pox ; for the rest , he
is as friendly and us c''eeiy ' as
negroes generally aro. * To un ami
able smile he instantly responds by
grinning hugely , and at once Invitee
me to take my place in the tram way
caravan. It is as well to do so with
out further delay , sincethe machine
is filling rapidly , and the seats are
few while the passengers are many.
Hauling on hy straps from the roof
is a practice us common inStamboul
us in the AuiPrieau hoisc-cars , but
for one very good and sufficient
rtason you are not called upon some
half n dozen times in course of halt
an hour to give up your scat in ordsr
to accommodate a lady. This is
that there are none in the car , and
that there never will be until soc'ul
reform in Turkey attains proportions
the magnitude of which even the
mrst advanced of the 'jeuue ' Turque'
party shrink from contemplating. I
notice that there is a door at the
end of our car , which is being con
stantly opened and shut to give
passage to tno conductor as he col
lects the tickets. That portal leads
to the ladies' compartment , and
therein they sit veiled , but by no
means up to the eyea. There are
borne with bundles , and there are
others with babies , and , as a rule ,
the majority of these fair wcarerd of
the yashmak are giggling. To me
there is no more beauteous sound in
the world than that of the laughter
of vvomen ; still you have a natural
desire to know what they are
amusing themselves at. Tne gig-
ling Turkish ladies are inscrutable.
A volatile French friend of mine
here assures me that lea petites
dames lurques always begin to
laugh when they see a Frank , and
it jou pass a carriage with a pair of
Turkish ladies in it and blow kisses
to them , the fair inmates invariable
loturn them to you. I am afraid ,
however , that my informant is an
Uncousequential youth ; and I , at
all events , should dread to venture
upon such pheumatico-osculatory
telegraphy. Supposing that it had
turned out that 1 had wafted kisses
to one of the wives of a Blmbashi ,
a Kamakan , or a Zaptieh ? There
is horror m the 'bought. That tne
conductor even should have been
permitted to go backward and for
ward in this compartment full of
possible Kadius and Khanums puz
zled me somewhat. To be sure he
was black and that fact may have
bad something to do with the im
munity which he appeared the
burly rogue to enjoy.
We started at last , the driver
winding a roost unearthly dirge on
a horn. I looked around , and per
ceived , to my delight , that , with
the exception of my companion , I
was in exclusively Oriental com
pany. There was not a single stove
pipe , ' hat nay , nor a wide-awake ,
or asoft felt' beyond our own in
the car ; and on counting beads I
discovered that even the fezzes
were in a minority. The turbans
'had it , ' at least five to four. I had
an inkling , too , thus early of the
remarkable social equality which
tempers despotic institutions among
this ts entially democratic lace
this people among whom , even as
things now aland the caikje or the
cobbler to-day may entertain hopes
of becoming Capidan Pasha or
Grand Vizier to-morrow. Perhaps
the turbuned gentleman , fluttering
in grimy rags , who eat by my side
in the tramway car , was thus des
tined to flourish as a Bashaw with
three tails. He certainly looked as
though a ( urn in the tide of his af-
faira would do him no harm. Next
on the other Hide , was a patriarchal
pereonage with a lo.i white beard ,
a pelisse lined with expensive furs ,
a cashmere shawl , worth at least IOC
guinea ? , round his ample waist , and
a green turban. Ho was , so they
gave me to understand , an Emir , a
descendant of the Prophet. Fancy
an Archbishop of Canterbury riding
in a tromear from the New-cut to
Kennington-oval. "
THE PEST OF THE WEST.
GrAHshoppern - Their Breeding
1'iacen and Migratory Inclined *
Some Figures Hvlatfii to the Lo * .
SCM Caused by Injurious lancets.
Dr. Packard , the eminent entomo
logist of Massachusetts , has written
a report on the migrations of the
Western locust , which contains
much valuable matter. The report
is intended to be incorporated in the
GcographicalSurveys Eeports of th =
United States. Dr. Packard says :
The facts and theories were in
part suggested by observations made
by myself In Colorado , Utah and
Wyoming In 1875 , while attached
for a few weeks with the survey ,
and in part suggested by the repor.'s
of Pro ! . C. V JR'ley ' , State Eutomo-
logist of Missouri , and by the state
ments of Prof. Cyrus Thomas , State
Entomologist of Illinois , and Hon.
W. JN. By ers , of Denver , and others } .
In dealme with this fearfldly de-
stnictive insect , which has gained
so much notice from the public , and
in seeking for .remedies against its
deviations , it is of prime impor
tance to have a thorough knowledge
of its breeding placet ) , the frequency
and extent of its migration , and to
seek for the connection between the
direction of the winds and other
meteorological phenomena and the
Sight of the locust.
The locust is quite or nearly as de
structive in Africa , Asia , and South
ern Europe aa in this country , but
the laws of their migration and their
connection with meteorological ra !
glon9i Lave.ueVer . been studied , and
it remain- * for the United Sta03 , in
connection with its weathei signal !
bureau , to institute , in connection i
with ita fccientific surveys of the '
West , investigations regarding the
nature of the evil and the best means
to overcome it.
In endeavoring to trace the con
nection between the course of the
winds at dillereuts rnontl a the
wilter has been led intosomo theor
etical considerations which eer-m to
59 supported by the facts presented
u the unpublished reports , and
which may be confirmed or dis
proved by luture investigations.
[ Sow it is well known that in the
Eastern Slates the summers of 1860
and 1674 , preceding the appearance
of the army worm and grain aphis ,
were unusually warm ami dry , and
fftv arable , not only for the hatching
of the eggs laid the year previous , j
but for the growth and develop i
ment of ibe larvreor voting. Look ;
now at the condition for the develop t
ment of locust-1'fe on the hot and
dry plains , chufly of Dr.kot.-i , Mon-
tuna , Wyoming and Idaho , wo have
no meteorological record ? tromt IK ee
regions at hand , but it i" inoro Hum
probable tha' ' the years preceding
the initiation rf the locusts \\ero
exceptionally \utrui and dry , when
the soil \vao parched with long-sus
tained drouths , as we know that
the corresponding speciea east of the
Mississippi Bivvr abound during dry
summers following dry and wuiui
spring.- .
Given , then , the exceptional yeara
of drouth and heat and the great
extent of tenitory , and we have as
the result vast numbers of yotmi >
hatched out. The year previous
having been warhi and dry , the
locmls wouldabjiiud , and more eggb
than usual would be laid. These
would with remarkably few excep
tions hat h , and the young consume
the butlalo grass and other herbage ,
and move about from one region to
another , following out u determin
ate course in search of food. In this
way large bioodM may ruigrste h
long distance , from perhaps tweifty
to fifty milea. In about six or seven
weeks they acquire wings. Exper
ience shows that the western locuyt.
as soon aa it id fledge ; ! , rioes up high
111 the air , bometimcd 1.000 fft-t or
much higher. They have been seen
to settle at night ou the ground , eat
during this time , and toward noon
of the next day fill tut- air again
with their glistening winga As
more and more become fiednt'd , the
vast swarm exhausts the supply of
food , and when the boats are liu.ihy
marshaled , new swarms joining
perhaps the origirnl one , the -.vhole
B\\arni , possibly hundreds of miles
in extent , begin to fly off , borne by
the prevailing westerly and north
westerly winds in n general easterly
and foistheasteiiy course
The fact that , In their migrations ,
the locusts Ht-e J3 to of ou select cul
tivated tracts , rapidly < ross the treeless -
loss , barren plains , at.d linger and
die on the prairies and wtotern edge
of the fertile valleys of the Missouri
and Mississippi , indicate that the
impelling force is due pnmnrily to
the want of fond , and tbe guiding
force the direction of the prevailing
winds , for they have no leaders , and
we do not believe in the existence of
a "migratory instinct' ' in the locust
any more than in the grata rmy-
worm , or the cotton army-worm ,
which , it ia sufficiently evident , mi-
gratcn from field to Held simply in
starch of more abundant teed
Meanwhile tbe reproductive system
of the locusts is maturing , the eggs
lipeuing , and the uneasiness of tiie
locusts during the course of their
travels may be unconsciously stim
ulated by the sexual instinct and
the desire to discover suitable places
for egg-laying , a long and tedious
operation. It has been sufficiently
shovn that swarm of locusts obser
ved by Prof. Robinson hear the en
trance to Boulder Canon'Coloiado ,
traveled a distance of about GOO
miles to Eastern Kansas and Mis
souri. Though the swarm was flrst
observed at some distance north of
Denver , Col. , it was then on its way
from the north , and may have come
from some parts of Wyoming 00
or 300 miles to the northward
Though the winds may vary , and
cci uter-curreuts exist , and storm-
gu B from due north , such as often
avep over the plains , and local
poutherly breezes may retard their
flight , the course is either eastward
or southeasterly. We know enough
of the winds in the Western States
and Territories to lay down the law
that the general direction of the
wind in July or August , along the
eastern slope of the Kocky Moun
tains and on the plains , is from the
west and northwest , and accords
with the eastward couree of the
locust swarms.
On the iroutier of the Western
States , in Colorado , or in the Terri
tories of Wyoming Montana Und
Utah , where the losses by the rava
ges of the locust can not be easily
made up by importations from con
tiguous Territories , it seems the moat
practicable mode to provide in years
of plenty against years of want. We
should imitate on a grand scale the
usage of the ancient Egyptians under
Pharaoh , who laid up for times of
famine It is s id that this has been
done on a small scale by the Mor
mons If this were done in the Far
West , in seasons immediately alter
preceding insect years , which had
been predicted by entomologists , in
conjunction with themeteorologists ,
we should be aavfd the distress ,
destitution , and even IOSH of life
from starvation , which have result
ed from ignorance of the laws regu
lating the appearance of destructive
insects , especially the Western
locu'-t
By simultaneous observations for
a number of years over the region
liable to be visited by migratory
herdes of locusta , added to the know
ledge we are already pisscss , it will
not only be possible to predict the
course of certain Hwarins from their
breeding-places and their probable
destination , so that when a swarm
starts from Montana or Wyoming ,
its arrival in Colorado a week or a
fortnight later may with some cer
tainty be predicted , and , again , its
arrival in Kansas and adjoining
States be announced with a certain
amount of precision , as has already
been done by Mr. Hiley , but we
ahull be able to foretell the course
taken in the return flight of their
progeny in the succeeding year.
The solution of the problem , I think
must be sought in the direction ot
the prevailing winds during the
middle of June , the time when
they become winged. It may be
found after a series of careful biolop.
ical and meteorological observations
that the prevailing winds at this
season are southerly and southeast
erly
It is not only of great scieu'ili1- '
interest , hut of high practical im
portance , to collect all facts bearing
pu the retu u migrations , in order to
know where the locusts go in their
return migrations the second year ,
a-s we only know that they do fly a
certain distance . northwestward.
We want to ascertain the extreme
wcateru limits of their return migra
tion. We also want to learn whether
they return to their original breed
ing places ou the eastern slopes of
the Rocky Mountains : , or whether
the westerly course of thfo winds , if
it be westerly , drive them back and
scatter them , BO that they do not
breed esteusively. A. cdmmlssiou
of entomologists should be appoint
ed to make a thorough detailed study
for several successive seasons of the
h.ibitfi of ' .he locusts in the territories
mentioned. It would eeem that the
recommendations made at the recent
meeting of Western Governors at
Omaha , that an appropriation be
made by Congress , and a commis
sion be attached to the existing
United States geological and geographical
graphical survey of the Territories ,
Is the moat forcible and economical
method of securing the speediest
and best results. Let us for a
moment look at the losses sustained
in the United States from the attacks
of insects. The annual agricultural
products of thia country by the last
census amounted to $2,500OuOt00. ]
Of this amount we in all probability
annually lose over $200,000 000 frrm
the attacks of injurious i seola alone.
Dr Rhe3r avers that the lo ? = es in
Missouri alone and it will be le-
membered that only the western
third was invaded exceeded $15-
000,000 Ihia wou d make the losres
in other parts of the Weat twice as
much more , 'or $45,000,000 in all.
Tn > estimated money loss occasioned -
ed by the chinch-bug in Illinois , in
i 1874 , was over 70,000.000 ; in Mis
souri in 1874 , it ia estimated by L- .
Riley to bo 19,000,000. The nnniibl
loa ea of the chiiicb.bug are greater
Mr. Riley says , than from any other
insect. 1 he average annual loa to
the cotton crops from the itttackaof
the cotton army worm alone is tsti-
rntited at $50,000OCO Adding to
thedrthe loa = es sustained hy tbe at-
tiL'ks of about a thousand other
jpocies of insectd which utltctour
ceretila , forage , and field crops , gar
den vegetables , and shade and orna
mental trees , as well as our hard
r.id pine forests and stored fruitb ,
and it will not le ; thought an exag
geration to put our annual losses at
S200.000.GCOO.- the people of this
country would only look at this an
nual depletion , the absslute waste ,
which drags her backward in the
rure with the countries of the Old
Woild , they nn'sht &ee tbe nece.-sity
of taking elective preventive mtas-
urts iu reutiniuitig the ravages of
iu-ectp. With care au i fore ifought
biusjd ou the observance of fact.i by
scientific men , we believe that from
550.000,000 tc J100,000 _ , or from one-
quarter in one haif of tliia annual
waste , could be saved to the country.
And the practical intMt efficient way
is foi the States to co-operate with
the General Government in the
appoi tment of salaried entomolo
gists ( and of a United States com
mission of entomologists ) who
should combine tbe results of the
State officials , and issue weekly , or ,
if necessary , daily bulletiusas to the
conditions of the insect world , fore
warn farmers and gardeners from
week to week aa to what crops
htiouid be guarded agtiust. and
what preventive and what remedial
measuies should be stated.

London Court Circular ,
On Wednesday afternoon a young
cnuple , of the Hebrew j > e suasion ,
accompanied by a numerous purly
of frieuda , attended the Birming
ham synagogue , according to ap
pointment , for the purpose of bomg
united in marriage. They completed
the preliminary formalities and
\vere waiting only for the Registar ,
was a few minutes behind time ,
when R messenger arrived with a
telegram from London and read as
as follows : "Stop marriage at once
His wife and children have arrived
in London , " A distressing scene
ensued. The bride , nearly swooning
iu excitement , turned for an exp'a-
UHticu to the bridegroom , who
warmly protested his innocence ,
and denied that there was any
foundation for the charge ; but cir
cumstauces appeared so much
against him that many of the by
standers refused to believe him , nnd
the bride was induced to postpone
the completion of the ceremony ,
pending further inquiries The Jew
ish authorities in London were at
once communicated uith , and a
telegram dispatched to the address
given by the sender of the message.
This telegram has since baeu return
ed with an 'utiniation that the ad
dress riven ia incorrect ; and the
Chiet Rabbi in London also reports ,
au the result of hia inquiries , that he
is unable to discover the sender of
the message. There can be little
doubt that tbe bridegrooom has been
niado the victim of a shameful hoax
and thisbeing so tbe marriage will
be celebrated without lurther delay.
