Senator Jonas made a speech in
defence of the vagrant laws of Lou
isiana , referred to yesterday by Sana-
tor Hoar , declaring them to be neces
sitated by the state of society , and
contained nothing against humanity
or the freedom of the colored people.
Ho referred also to the hyena-liko In
stances ot thu senator from Massa
chusetts , in digging up old bones in
Louisiana , and thought that he had a
mania for bringing up subjects that
had boon well ventilaied. Mr. Jones
suggested that thero-were living issues
enough to occupy the time of the
eenato. He devoted some time to
the statements of his colleague , that
'Packard attributed its downfall to the
efforts of the Louisiana lottery com
pany. This ha denied emphatically.
, Mr. Kellogt ! replied at length , and
for more than n hour the Louisiana
senators reiterated statements made

in reference- their understanding
of' the debt of their state , and records

The following letter was maila'S to
? ho New York Sun yesterday after
noon by OLO of the beet known stcck
men of iho state :
OMAHA , Neb. , March 31,1881.
To Iho Editorof Ihe New'Ybrk ' Sua :
Iu a late iesae of your paper the
tatomoc was made that the loaa in
cattle during the pist winter upon the
western plains auH the cattla grazing
; ountry' of the northwest 'ha ? ben
bent 'five million dollars. . Thb is a
; roaa mis statement of the facts , : nnd
one that your valuable pip r. will , I.
am sure , be deairoas of correcting , 'if
you are eatisBod that tha statement is
wrong."The Sun which shines for
all1 ? has t)3 farraachingan influence
not to correct'mistakes. ' I' have baon
n tha cattle busiiiesi upon the plafns
: or the last thirteenyears' , .and my In
vestment is largo-enough to prompt
mo to watch the .matter of cattle losses
very closely. I hare .made several
; rips to the cattle ranges during this
winter , and have compared notes with
many others who have visited the
ranges iof Nebraska , Wyoming , Col
orado and Kanoaa. . Thanumber of
cattle upon the , rangea ' in
; h'eso states and territories ; last fall
was about GOOCOO. , Tholr average
value is about § 20 per head. iThis
would make their yalua twelTo miiitoir
dollars , aua If your atatament. , ia correct - -
rect the percentage of loss would "ex
ceed forty percent. The .fact is'that '
the loaa , nf this winter does not exceed
aoven(7) ( ) per cent. , being jn cattle not
more than 42,000 head , orlrt-monoy
§ 810,000 , and , by leas , I meannot _
; > rtly thi > .dtro
but the incident leas from lapk 01 in
crease.
Tho.cattle will como into market
thia spring in somewhat poorer flesh
than usual but on account of the
greatly inrrcased moisture in the cit
tie.country there will bo much earlier
and battiT grass than wo have known
for years The atcok inteiests of ; the
far west have never been in belter
prospects * than .at present and I Know
that you and your readers will be
pleased to know tbo/fact. /

thing to impossible ) . They finally suc
ceeded , aflor ono or two ineffectual
efforts , in penetrating the mountains ,
but their onergj- mot witn no
reward , for the tracks of
baa * eonld nowhere ba seen ,
and it became evident tr > thoao ei-
perienced hnntera trnt tha bears had
not yet loft the holes in which they
immure themselvei for the winter.
Balievlng discretion to bo tha bolter
part of valor they decided to waste no
time in looking for ether gime , and
returned at onca.to Omaha.
Mr. Collins atates that there ia nn
immense body of snow in iha moun
tains tributary to the Platta and th.it
the spring rise of May cr June in iho
Flatte will ba unprecedented. Ha
believes that but for the absence of
ice in the stream nt that time the
probability ia that the flood woufd be
far more disastrous than that of ' *
