LINCOLN , Neb. , January 24. The smoke of battle has cleared away. The dead are buried , the wounded have been carried off the field by the U. P. ambulance corps and the van quished have gone home on parole. From all sections of the country con gratulations are pouring in upon Sen ator VanWyck by telegraph and mail , while his home people of Otoe are go- Iig wild with joy , and making prepar ations for a grand reception on his re- tarn to Nebraska City. To the Spartan band that supported General Van Wyck and < " > t o ? m n n legislature who , in the faca of tempta tions and threats stood up firmly and unflinchingly against arrogant mono poly dictators , the people of Nebraska ewe a debt of gratitude , and I take the pleasure in placing their names upon the roll o honor. There were fourteen members who voted for General "Vin Wyck from firat to last. They were Senators Cady , Tayloi and Teff t and Representatives Bailey , Bick , Case , Howe , Laughlin , Moore , of Otoe , Overton , Parry , Ransom , Root and Sprick. Senator Graham , of Seward , a democrat , elected by anti-monopoly republicans , voted steadily for General Van Wyck after the flecond ballot. No man in the legislature deserves greater credit for his service to Gen eral Van Wyck , than Mr. Hplman , of Dakota , who at the most critical per iod of the senatorial contest checked the stampede to Paddock by changing his vote from Dundy to Van Wyck. Hon. Stephen Hernnn , who wns elected on the anti-monopoly ticket , representative of Saline connty , stood up manfully _ against the corrupt intrigue of political jobbers and the machinations of monopoly bosses When the trying hour came Mr. Herman cabt his ballot for General Van Wyck in the caucus and recorded hi TO O for him in the legislature. The following named members recorded corded their vote a for General Van Wyck on the final ballot. Senators Ballontlne , Burns of York , Cady , Dally , Dinsraorc , Ervin , Gra ham , Perkins , Pierce , Power ? , Tay lor , Tefft , Turk and Wherry. Repre sentatives Abbott , Babcock.

Thirty-cix members died with their boots on for Paddock , viz. : Senators Baker , Evans , Gare , Harrington , Morse , Myers , Smith , Turner , Welle , White , Zehrnug ; Representatives Ayer , Baldwin , Bolln , Brown , Filley , France , Frederick , Helms , Jackson of Donglas , K mpton , King , Kyner , Lamb , Lehman , McClure , McDougell , McKlnnon , Mickey , Mullen , Peter son , Putney , Schick , Scott , Silver andWyatt. Two republicans , Senator Burns , of Dodge , and Representative Cantlln , of the same county , voted from first to last for the "boy governor. " Four democrats voted on the last ballot for Judge Kinney , viz. : Sena tor Howe and Representatives Gates of S rpy , and Paxton and McShano of Dongks. An editor is not infallible , and while I bavo made fewer miscalcula tionsand mistakes in my reports from the senatorial battle-ground than any of my contemporaries , I confess to some unavoidable errors , which I now veyed the field the prevailing impres elon , which seemed to me well ground ed , was that Judge Post's candidacy was a mere blind , intended as a decoy for members from the fourth judicial district in the interest of Gov. Nanco. always believe that r-n ounce of prevention vention is worth a pound of cure , and promptly struck a blow to the Nance boom by exposing his treachery to P.iddock , and incidentally de nounced Judge Post's candidacy as a mere side-chow for Nanco. The outcome has convinced mo that Judge Post was in.dead earnest and the reports concerning his alleged col lusion with Nance unfounded. The course pursued by Sanator Dln&moro andTRepresentatives Roberts and Jen- on exonerates them from all suspicion if collusion with Paddock and Nance , and it is but just that false im pressions concerning them should be orrocted. On the other hand all I have written and published about Senator - ator White and Representative Scott , Saunders connty , has boon fully confirmed by their acts. They have deliberately betrayed their constitu ents nnd ought to be forever barred from all places of honor or trust. to . White took exceptions to strictures and the inference the drawn ; from the 55000 surveying con tract awarded to his brother-in-law. night beforejtbe first-ballot was the taken he denounced the allegations in correspondence concerning him- and Scott r.s utterly baseless , and I would BOO my mistake when he voted. The record ihowa that White coln < , and Whlto was tbo most rampant ning partisan of Paddock in every caucus tbo Paddock's supporters. Another tor traitor to his constituency is Repre sentative Putney , of Antelope county. Thn came down ta Lincoln an avowed anti-monopolist isnd expressed him gatly strongly In favor of Van Wyck. A ing days later he flopped nnd insisted ing Paddock was the choice cf Ante-1 yy county and no argu : or appear could move him. had voted for Paddock to the end , and City with the TJ. P. Ring in every cau . I feel in duty bound to record incident that shows what a flock of vultures gathered around the capital ho during the Into contest. When I reached Lincoln at the opening of the acsson ! a letter was handed mo Mr. Moudy , who was a member : of the legislature six years , when Paddock waa Reeled. , able Moudy Informed me that George W. } Gal Crawford , of Elkhorn , in Douglas county was in possession of certain 'efters ' from P-iddcck to Moudy , which Moudy thought would defeat Paddock for re-election and he requested me to procure cop ies of them from Crawford. I called on Crawford and he said he preferred to hold on to tke letters a day or two. Meantime he desired me to state through THE BEE. that letters were down at Lincoln In the hands of a cer tain party , which wheu made public would explode the Paddock boom. I suspected that Crawford was simply trying to blackmail Paddock and I concluded not to bo a party to auch a disreputable gamo. Last Friday I received another let ter from Mondy containing a per emptory order toCrawford to deliver his letters to me. Crawford emphatically declined to give them up , saying that he proposed to uae them himself. Whether ho succeeded in bleeding Paddock I know not , but from his crest-fallen countenance I judge his cunning scheme has failed. In conclusion I must congratul&te the democratic members from Dong- las upon their fidelity to the pledge they made to their party. Had they joined the TJ. P. gang and gone over to Paddock , Gen. Van Wyck would not be senator. Perhaps it may not nlso be out of place to remark that my republican friends who denounced my course last fall , in refusing to support the TJ. P. legislative ticket , have covered that the so-called bolt hss i given the friends of General Van' ' Wjck the victory. E. ROSEWATEK. That importation of Hamburg un broidery has just arrived. L. B.

Johnson , President ol the City Waterworks csmpanj : DEAE. SIR Conformably to your request - quest I have examined the complaint filed by the Holly manufacturing com pany relative to the infringement of their patents , which seems to be re garded and asserted as prospectlvoly certain to result from the constrnction of your works as now designed. Knowing of no similarity either in the general design or minutest charac teristic between the system adopted for Omaha and what is sometimes termed the ' 'Holly system , " excepting that both require pumps and water pipes , I am free to express astonish ment that any such proceedings should have been instituted or oven seriously , , thcnght of. As I understand it , no one now . s anything like novelty or origiI I f for the operation of pumping water into pipes of any Itngth or di ameter , nor does the fact of employing ' ing a composite sys'ora for supplying water to commnnHloa , such as the al- tcinato or intermittent use of n res ervoir and direct pumping involve any principle which Is now , novel or patentable , a practice which has bsea more or less in vogno in tbis and other countries since the earlfes daffn of hydraulic science as applied to < pumping devices. The modern process of direct pumping , termed bv its principal votaries the "Holly sya tern ' , " admits of neither reservoir noi standplpe , but ii designed to furnlsl the requisite supply by the Incessanl working of pumping machinery , and ital order to relieve tha machinery , as also the street mains and service pipes from the deleterious and often dangerous effects of fluctua tlons and concussions incident to the tlei every variable demands of public and private supply , Mr. Holly invented constructed < and patented a devici termed an automatic regnlator which Is actuated by the water pressure seas as ! to increase or diminish the supply OlEI ! Steam inversely as the water pres sure. While I have no desire to un kindly j criticise or deny to this device any merit which H may justly possess , IBI have never thonght of using it or any similar arrangement in conneo tion with your works , nor doei your < contract or citj ordinance re quire ' the use of any such device , as the contingencies which may render direct pumping neceaaaty either for domestic < supply or fire service are so very ( remote as to be scarcely worthy oicc consideration. And even in such contingency , with a direct pumping machinery such as yens , I should regard gard < It as of little or no practica' valne ! or protection. Supposing fo instance that you wore compelled to pump in oubdulng a conflagration a aomo point beyond and above the cf fectlvo altitude of your reservoir th sudden closing of one or more by drants would canso this regulator to reduce the Inflow of steam , and pro portionately reduce the speed of your pumping machinery , at the same- time the concnssion or force necessary to actuate the regulator must firs : be transmitted to it through the pipe die tribution from the hydrants or points altl which the concussion is produced thus subjecting your pipes and eer vice connections to about the fall force of the blow , and afterwards giving them relief. The same reac tion of pressure from the by drants to the pumps , transmitted i : tldi same way , would generally atop a direct acting engine such as yours without the regnlator , for the reason that the plunger which is forcing the water would meet with a greater re sistance than the force extended by the steam which propels it. In other words , if the regulator could nlways be ' at or near the point at which the concussion occurs to neutralize its force and save the pipe distribution from sudden strain , instead of being stationary in the engine house , and practically powerless for good until after such strains have permeated the entire distribution , its real utility would seem to bo much less question able. able.In In view of the farther fact that your hydrants are so constructed as to require fifteen or more turns of the wrench : to close them , it is difficult to close them so suddenly as to procure serious concussion , and as firemen should bo instructed and required to close them slowly , the danger from this cause can be brought to a mini mum factor In practice. If found necessary in future prac tice , a small stand-ppo near yonr reservoir of sufficient altitude to giro you the requisite Increase of fire p ea- sure , would prove a more unerring safe-guard : against excessive pressure , and equally or more efficacious In neutralizing sudden and dangerous fluctuations. With such a device your engine would always work against the elasticity of the atmosphere , a greater and safer reliance than any mechan- 'sm that human ingenuity can invent , by fl wleh to reiterate , In conclusion , hat this letter is not intended to vol I . untarily criticise a device which pos sesses ! many ingenious characteristics , further than to plainly set forth the reason ? by .which I have been govern in designing your works. I have Is contemplated ! uaing nothing which is similar or identical In design and construction with first-class standard water works throughout the country , hence my astonishment to learn that the question of infringement has ever been thought of in connection with your enterprise.

Quite a good story is told of Gen Van Wyclds treatment of a political opponent in the canva'3 for the slate Eznate. A young man familiarly known a ? "Lot" Brown , who shoves a quill in Nebraska City , had been trying to make a fight on the general in Otoa county. Perceiving that he was doing nothing but butting a stone wall , ho resolved to quit , and present the flag of trace. He approached Gon. Van Wyck , and said : "Now , General , I have been fighting yon a long time , und If you'll send me to the legislature this winter , I'll work with yon , and let the dead past bury its dead. " "Oh , no ; I guess it's not necessary. Just keep on fighting me. I can't trust you enough to allow yon to go to the legislature , " was the reply. From the fact that the scribe failed to make the legislature , and that the general was elected to the senate , no other conclusion can be drawn than , . that Brown's fight , If it had any Influ ence on the result at all , did more t& elect Van Wyck than his support could have done. There was quite a general debate | among the membara after the adjourn ment yesterday as to the constitution ality of adjourning for a longer time than three'days. The law says that t : > do so a concurrent resolution is necossaiy , which mnat be read on tbro different days bofort its paa : sage. A failure to comply with these conditions invalidates all future legis lation of the session. Some members took the ground thai both houses oonld concut In a resolution without making It a concurrent resolution , in any matter concerning the legisla ture only. One moral ar argued that the Lincoln hotel men objected to a long recess , and thought they bad a right to be heard. The recess will give them a chance to tone down the butter and import new oxtail for soup. Speaker Shedd and other members of our legislature will visit the Kan sas legislature now in session at Topeka - peka , during the present week's re cess. Miss Kate Strickland , engrossing clerk of the house , came up last eve ning to spend the recess at home. Quite a number of Omaha people will attend the reception of Gon. Van Wyck , at Nebraska City , Weneaday evening. Representatives Slocumb , Frause , Brown and Bro&tch , came up from Lincoln last evening. Messrs. Clinton Brlggs. C. S Chase , T. F.
