LINCOLN , Nob. , January 8 Th legislature msy now proceed to busi nees. Tiie governor has delivered hi message , the memb&rs hava been signed to their respective committees and if it WFTO not for the mob that i hounding the member * to influence their votts on the sonatorabip , K'g lion would gj rapidly and smoothly. Thomsko-n of the committees , as wnolo , is an improvement on what has been expected , but a clew insoec- tton of the lUts convinces me that the jobbers and railroad cappers have won half the battle. Both Cams and Speaker Shedd had a very disagreeable - agreeable time in making up these lists. TUB U. P. SYNDICATE. Oa-ns had to submit his selections to ( the syndicate , in which John M. Thurston was the principal figure , and Gor. Nance , P W. Hitchcock and Judge Post had a good deal to say. Under inspiration of the crafty quar tatto Cams played a very shrewd and ieop game in making up the commit- ? ees. By pushing the moat uoto ious uonopoly cappers into the background md giving prominent places to mem- jaw : that vjcarihn-HrAea. . i ; Ji = in , jMmva.t , l-o diepols suspicion , lorves his masters just as cfiectivoly , nd makes his coveted promotion to ho governorship less offensive. The two most important committees n the senate at this juncture are Iho i jommittees on privileges and elections C'lN md railroads , Senator Morec , chair- N nin of the elections in committee , 5s re- inac utod ' to bo au out and out U P. ac nan , and the majority of thu co.u at ; ee squints very much In th „ Bame oction. The chairi-ajisv.jp o { the hiJi Ji iommlttee on railroaaa WM givron to toMyers asd Bop ( in the hope that 0It It would c ntroi him in h:8 Benatorial ihoice. MyerVlB"an7tnbrtlouB"inan. . .coos the anti-monopoly tidal wave rolling along , and is inclined to jump [ into the boat He will bo restrained by his obligations to Cams and the railway Syndicate. Moreover , Senator - tor Myers ia not a Paddock man , and Carna , Thurston & Co. hava very cun ningly Bet their trap to draw him into the Nance drap net. Myers can , " withal , do very little damage in the railroad committee , even if he should EI kick in the traces , because the majority have obligations to discharge to the railroad man agers either on old pcores or for future favora. In the distribution ol favors the U. P syndicate took tpecial paius to punish these who were abso lutely opposed to them , and a good deal of mischief trill result from their malice. Mr. ' Doane , who Is one of the ebleat lawyers in the state , and a man of : expe.ience in legislation , was omit * ted from the committee on judiciary and : all other important committee , but he was assigned on the committee on military affairs and on the commit tee on mines and mining , where he will have hardly anything to do. It possible the Nance , Cams and Thnrston syndicate will discover they : committed ( a blunder in assigning ccV : Doane on the military committee , V when the bloodless and costly cam Stat paign of the Nebraska militia in at Omaha is brought before the legisla athi ture for settlement. Gen. "VanWyck , hiti who is now nerving a third term in the tiki " senate ( , and has been "a member of ki congress through two terms , receives kiof thov same scurvy treatment. He is > this , made chairman of the committee on education , which has very little or nothing to do , as all matters pertain ? ing to the university go to the commit tee on university ; whereas Gere , who : has notoriously boon the champion of : all jobbers and corporate monopo- olie ! * , has not only been made chair * man of the committee on finance , but ; assigned to almost every committee of any importance in the senate , in cluding the committees on judiciary , isa railroads , privileges and elections , isg i state prison , and univeraity. Senator oi g Daily , who is also an expert legisla > tor , and a man of considerable expe it rience in political affairs , was made ithi chairman of the committee on internal - nal improvements , which vulgar wags have called the Commit to on Gats ; ind because he is not over friendly to the Nance-Carna syndicate , and was largely instrumental in the defeat of their coparcener , Church Howe , he la pretty severely snubbed. is CREDULITY IMPOSED ON. > I regret exceedingly that Mr. Shedd ha * yielded to outside pressure in the in making np of his committees , and thereby neutralized tha victory won - 3ver jobbers nnd monopolists hy his election to the speaker-ship. I regard Mr. Shedd as an honest and well- mean ing legislator , -who earnestly do- slrca to do what is right and just , but ho is comparatively inexperienced and lacks penetration into the designs of canning politicians and venal jobbers , : ( R'ght ' hero let me brand as a down ; right fabrication the statement of the Lincoln letter-writer of The Omaha Herald who asserts that I tried to i bulldoze Mr. Shedd into crowding Church Ho wo out of all important committees. The fact is , the name of Church Howe never passed my lips during my intercourse with Sir. Shedd , nor did I suggest the name of JX any member to Mr. Shedd forappoint- ment on any committee. ) Mr. Shedd started Upon his task with , the determination to bo fair and Impartial , and this disposition was taken advantage of by the vulturoj and jobbers who hovered around the legislature. From the outeel ho was beset by men whom he regards as highly honorable , and who continue to proclaim their independence of all factions , and their pleadings had doubtless a good deal of weight with him. Ho did not suspect that such men as Gov. Nanco , J udgo Post or District Attorney Reese were playing a deep game la conjunction with Thuraton , to influence the apportoiu- ment of committees in furtherance of their own political ambition , and at the v me time in the interest of the Union Pacific , to which thSy leak for substantial support. He did not sus pect , in yielding to the entreaties of parties who had xes to grind and jobs to carry through the legislature , hs was assigning men to committees whore it would do these jobbers the moat good. Nobody but a man who has been around a legislature for eight or ten years could discern ell these tricks nnd spot all tire fciool pigeons. The vital error Mr. Sbodd haa fallen into was the idea that ho could be fair and impartial only by giving the friends and enemies of hon est government an equal chance. It is a fundamental principle in pulitici , and it is a just principle , too , thu all reforms must bo carried out tnrouah theirffiends. It wonW b6 prepostjr- ous > after a grc-at battle has been euj- ce fully fought in favor of any given reform and against any grievance , to entruit the practic.U n'ork of carrying out thoaei reformi to men who are on- posed to them. The p-ople of Ne braska , through the legislature , by a decisive majority , elected Mr. Shedd as the embodiment of opposition to the representative cf the railroads end jobbers. Whit was the ob- feet Vf ) that contest if the victory Is to bo made barren by the division of committees on railroads , c'airna ' and public expenditures between those fa voring honesty and economy in gov ernment and restriction of railway corporation , and those who were in fayor of jobbery and opposed to any railway legislation ? I will not attempt a detailed analysis of the housa committees - mittees , but sdfficoit to say that the ra-lroad committee strikes mo as de cidedly weak , and I fear will not with stand tlie pressure that will be brought upon it. Two of the mem bers Gray and Holman are square men , and decidedly in earnest in their lesire to repress the gretod aud put a stop to the extortions of monopolies. The other five members I cannot ouch for on that subject. They may , s-hen pn' to the test , prove true to heir obligations. I know at least > f legisla- HOBBIN81 HOO-WASU. Ton years ago one or our legia ] uree , and a good many members of ho third house were immortalized by tL . man with monumental chock , in a tLb S'iBtly book devoted to " .Eminent fe tfobraskans. " This ye.ir the list of fere m mortals has been enlarged by an reT idventurer who has located B wash- Tar itsnd in Omaha , which he dubs the : 'Inter-Ocean Bureau " On the very : irst day that the legislature mot Th Journal , of this city , and The : 3maha Republican submerged the legislature in a tub of hog- ivash in advance of its appcaranca jn the next day in The Inter-Ocean. 3u Wednesday morning the promised log-wash edition from the Qmaha trash stand was spread on the desk of Bvery member with a polite invitation to subscribe for The Inter-Ocean , dur ing the session. Savon mortal col umns of gush , slush and wind are spent in describing what Robbins calls "Big Nebraskans , " and it certainly is unique production. For the edifi cation of readers of TUB BEE , that have not seen these pan sketches , I will quote a few extracts : "Mr. Teffc has served hia district | ance before in the state senate and ho trill attain to prominence and great use fulness on his return to that body. " : "Senator Smith is enthusiastically Jevoted to the interests of the coun ties which ho represents in the legis lature. " "Mr. Morse is a stalwart only 33 pears old. Was born in Maine and literally fought his way to success in this young state. " "Mr. Turner , " he says , "is for Pad lock for U. S. senator , and will do jood work for him. " "Senator White is well known at he capital , where ho served Lacaiter ounty as treasurer , " and Robbins pouches ( ho is a man of ability and iterlin ? integrity. : "Mr. Harrington is a farmer , and the same time a man of afiairs , who IBS attained marked success in poli- "Mr. DInsmore has become well mown throughout the state as a man f great prominence and influence in ho South Platte country. " "Mr. Snyder , who is county troas- irer of Cheyenne and agent of the TJ. . railroad , at Sidney , is onthusiastl- ally devoted to the interests of his leotion of the state. " 4 In the house wo notice that "Dr. Fackson is very popular in Pawnee ounty , and will make an active mom- jerof the legislature. " "Mr. Filley is a farmer whoso farm so splendidly kept that it is not only monument of his industry , but a rood advertisement of the capabilities f Nebraska soil. " "Church Howe is an aggressive pol- to tician , and by his ability and dash las made himself a popular man in Nebraska politics. " "Mr. Royman is a sterling citizen , ind will make his mark. " "Mr. Moore , of Otoe , is a wide- iwako business man , and highly es- ieemed by all who know him. " "Mr. Abbott , of Lancaster county , s young man who has already gain- d distinction in his profession as a lawyer , and will make himself heard the legislature. " "Mr. Whedon is only thirty-one p-ears of ago , and there will be very tow abler lawyers in the Nebraska leg- slature. " "Mr. Shedd will make a valuable business member of the legislature. " "Mr. Scott , ofSaundera , is a young man who has only been in the state For a short time , but his high qualifi- ationa for the position have attracted ho attention of the wide-awake and of intelligent people of Saunders. " "Mr. Root , of Cass , has always had deep interest in the prosperity of this etate and will make an industrious ind faithful member. " "Mr. Hall , of Cass , is a good man and will work hard this winter. " Jffr. Kyner is ono of the greatest men in Americs , according to Rob J ' bins , who goes out of his way to tell mat Kyner was earnestly endorsed for U. S. marshal last summer by the soldier element , and failed through the opposition of Senator Blunders. Mr. Robbins assures m , that Kyner has a bright future before him and that be will bo the loader in the legis lature. "Mr. Jackson , of Douglas , , is de sarvedly popular and tfill not fail to increese the circle of friends during the coming scaion. : " "Mj.

" I minhl goon indefinitely , buttheso quotations show that the Omaha wash stind of The Intcr-OceAn cah sup ply all the soft soap and hog-wash that will bo needed ia Nebraska for yeara. To the credit of our legislature to it said that the majority of the ment b'er ar dlaguated vrllh these sketches , especially m view of the fact that Robbins has only been in the atate a few weeks , had never seen niue-ten'hs of the men he was writ nc about. The impertinence and ma'ice displayed by this legislative portrait'datt'jer te mote disgusting than is hia nacseating toanyism. Robbins gees out of his way to fling dirt at Senator Blunders , and takes piins to belittle tha two dis lingaished linyerj that represent Douglas county in ilia nehat" .

E ROSEWATER WASHINGTON. nousK. Special Dispatch to The Bee. WASHINGTON , January 8 Hon. Oa sin Ray , elected to sacked the late livarts Farr , as representative from the Third district of New Hampshire , appoired this morning , and was eworn in. All the eeritj arc again fu'ly ' rep resented in the house. Under the call for his committee Mr. Morey reported favorably a bill providing that the rate of postage on second cla s publicitiuns deposited in a letter carrier ollice , for delivery by carriers , shall ba uniform at two'cents a pound. Referred to the calendar. Mr. Wood was in his seat tc-day , although not In good health , and upon his motion the house went into com mittee on the funding bill , with Oov- ort in the chair. Mr. Wood said that some changes rrould bo suggested by the committee , Ho hoped that the gentlemen would lonfiuo themselves to the subject im- nediately on consideration in order * ' 1 A largo number of amendments and lubstitutcs are pending to the bill , J md it was ruled that each section of * .he commission bill must be perfected cforo ( another amendment can be of- ered. The first section having been [ ead , Mr. Wood , by direction of the rays nnd moans committee moved to iraond by reducing the rate of inter- a st from three and a half to three per ent. ent.Mr. Mr. Buckner inquired whether he ould now offer an amendment to test the sense of the house , whether it ivould have a lon ; { or short bond. The chair said suc'i amendment ivould not ba in order now. > Mr. Wood called attention to the fact that his amendment only affected the rate of interest. Mr. Claflin oppose ! the reduction bo three per cent , and gave a notice of in amendment to make a five-twenty bond , that is , a bond for five years , but which may run for twenty years. Claflln said that ho did not believe that it would bo possible to float a bond at three per cent , unless the bond was to bo a , long one. He didn't speak for the bankers , but ho ap jka of the opinions of business men. The Jifference between throe per cent , for five years and three and one half per ent. would be equal to two and one- half per cent. Mr. Kellev argued that if Glaflin's mggeation was adopted the govern ment would be compelled for years to pay privilege of redeemable Jionda , it it Is doing now. Ho called attention to the fac : that for the year sliding in October last , the treasurer paid over the three million dollars for privilege of applying one hundred and 3ight millions of its cadi to the exten sion of the debt Mr. Frye said that before the rbcess tie had voted in the ways and moans committee for a bond at 3 per ent. nnd interest , but during the va cation he had consulted with business men and was now convinced that wo could not place 3 per cent , bonds unless It was to run 30 years. Mr. Kcafer propose" ! to amend by fixing the rate of interest at not to ex ceed 4 per cent. , so as to leave it in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury to fix the rate of Interest ac cording to the needs of the business. The discussion < n the funding bill was continued for some time , until at o'clock Mr. Wocd tried to bring the question to a vote , but Mr. Weaver and other greenbackers insisted upon further debate , whereupon Mr. Wood moved that the committee rise , his in tention being to ask the house to cut off all further debate. After the com mittee had risen , a motion was made to limit the debate to one minute , and Weaver , representing the opposition the funding bill , moved to adjourn. On n division the motion was defeated by 81 yeas to 90 nays , but on a vote by Tc letters , it was carried , and the house accordingly adjourned. I d Our Annual Review.

Do Nebraska Fanners Want to be Represented by a Man Wi'h the Record of Our Senior Senator ? , Nob. , Januaiy 7,1881. To iho Editor ot THE Bti : Being n citizen of Fillmore county , and being , like every other good citi zen of tlm state ! very much interested in the acts o/ / the present legislature now ia session , not only in the laws which it ought to pies for the protec tion of its citizens , but also in the se lection which it must make of a man toivpresofil us in the tJuited States senate for the next six years , ! thought a short history of our political cam- piign of last fall , whan our represen tatives were ncmuiitod and elected , migii : servo Iu ahuvV to the state at large h < U the position of our county Is in r.g.rd to these important ques tion * , ' I have a copy of The Geneva Re- vievr of to-day's issue , in which i s editor says that ho knows that Fillmore - more county ia solid for the reelection - tion of A 8. Pftddock , afld to sustain hia assertion he further stated that Tne Bulljtin and The Enterprise are D5th iu accor 1 with this view. That , I suppose , settlf a the matter. All I ojightsay to thecontrary wojld amount to nothing in tha fioa of this strong argument. But being of a logical turn of mind I shall nsk a f w perti nent quoJtions at least : Were the present morabera of the legislature from this county the choice of The Review and Bullentin before the convention ? Is it not a fact that they were nominated against the strong of pjiition of these two paper , ? Is is not < * fact that The Bullentin'a eholca novcr allowed his name to go before t'.e . convention at all , for the reason that ha did m t think that he had any chance to win ? As to The Review s candidate , how did he fare ? The sco.-o on the tally sheet stands fourteen in favor of The Review to fifty-one ngiinat ; very near unani mous , was it not ? Alas for the power of the press ! In this case there was a heavy majority against it. We think that The Review represented the sen timent of the county aboiit as much then as it don * nnw.whon It amm thit tuUaeck. Mr. Paddock is regarded by a ma- jonty of the faimers of this county as i railroad man in every sanse of the J n' word , and to show that this county is not iu favor of a man of that utripp , will send you a copy of the res olutions passed at the convention fit which our members were nominat- J. The issne was squarely made rail- Mid and anti raliroad. With the result aa stated above fourteen to fifty- ouc the tollowinc resolutions were passed by a unanimous vote : WHEKEAS , The railroad interests in this state continually , since the adop tion of the new constitution and by corrupt means , managed to control the politico of this state and the legis lature in such manner that such leg islation could not bo adopted. There fore bo it Resolved , That we demand that the republican pacty of this state shall stand by its record of 1875 , made in the constitutional convention , and that the republican state convention shall insert a plank in i's ' platform pledging the republican party of this ; state to give to the people laws to bo enacted by the state legislature \ and the national congress , as will cor rect abuses and prevent unjust dis crimination nnd extortion in all charges by railroad companies. And be it further Kesolved , That the men wo nominate for the legislature are requested tenet not accept any free passes from any railroad company iu this state during their term of oilico. . Now the question arises , can men nominated and elected upon such a platfo.-m support Mr. Paddock with hia pust rec nd in these matters for ho United States senate ? I do not cldm to know how our rnemoers will vote in this matter , but this much , I believe them to be honest , intelligent men , that understand their duties and will labor hard for the best interests of the men who placed them in power , and made it poaaible for them to ex orcise these privileges. Ono thing ia sure , if The Bulletin and R3viow had their way they would never have oc cupied the seats which they do now , and they know it. The people that put them there are not uneasy about how they will vote , although not claiming to know just who they may cast their votes for , we expect them to vote and act in accordance with the sentiments of the people who gave the power to cast their votes , and we believe they will do so in spite of The Review's assertion that the county is solid for Paddock JUSTICE. a.
