Special Correspondence of THE BEE.
4LjNboiH , ; .May 11 , 1882. Both
houses of the legislature mot yesterday -
day promptly at noon. Lieut.Gov. .
Cams called the senate to order , and
read tbo governor's proclamation. It
was then discovered , upon calling the
roll , that no quorum' was present , and
.an adjournment was accordingly
taken until three o'clock in the after-
noon. *
The house came to , order on time at
the rap of the speaker's gavel. A
quorum .was found to bo present
when the roll was called. Mr. Wind-
ham , of Cass , offered n resolution per
petuating the organization of lost ses-
fiidn , which was 'adopted without dis
sent. On motion of Mr. Howe , the
credentials of the now members were t
referred to the committee on privi
leges and elections. Speaker Shedd
took the occasion aflbrded by the pas
sage ot the resolution continuing the
organization * to make a very pretty
little speech , in which he offered
some timoly.advice to the membera ,
and paid a finely worded tribute to
the members who. have boon removed
from locislativo cares , during the ro-
,
.speaking ja rathe * crude ; but his
ideas are excellent , the general ver
dict upon his little * effort to-day TtSs
that it did him credit. After ho con
cluded , Mr. Howe offered a resolution
that out of respect to the memory of
Messrs. Kaley and Schick the house
adjourned until nine o'clock to-day.
This ivas unat impusly adopted | and
the body stood adjourned.
The senate mot promptly in the af
ternoon , and upon the call of the roll
Senators Evans , Graham , 'Morse , Per
kins , Walker and Wells wore found to
bo absent. The customary prayer by
the chaplain followed , and then the
now members , Messrs. Castle , Campbell -
boll and Walker , handed in their cre
dentials. On motion of Mr. Tafft ,
the senate took a recess of five min
utes , during which the committee on
credentials examined the documents.
The credentials wore found to bo cor
rect , and Senators Dihsmoro and
Doane were sent opt as a special envoy -
voy to lasso the chief justice , and
have the oath administered. As that
dignified functionery could not bo
found , about the building , the secre
tary of 'state .was brought in as a sub
stitute and swore the now comers to
fealty. ' The chair was authored to
appoint a postmaster to fill the vacan
cy , and named Mr. 0. N. McQrow to
that responsible and luceative oflico.
The solmto then proceeded to the elec
tion of a Dorgoant and [ assistant ser-
goant-at-arma. and voted the perqui
sites of those 'two oflicea'to Messrs. J.
W. Ryan and W. P. Squire respective
ly Alex. Lavorty , of Cass , was then
made assistant door keeper. Mr.
Tefft road a resolution disponcing with
the clerks on all standing committees.
This was agreed to by a vote of twon-
ty-ono to three , tbui at one foil swoop
destroying the hopes of half a score
of impecunious young Micawborswho
stood around waiting for some fat
pickings to turn up. Senator Morse
of Morrick county , who is out of the
state , was indefinitely excused from
attendance. At this junction , the
house not being in session and the
transaction of business being impossi
ble , the senate adjourned until nine
o'clock to-day.
Tbo evening was spent in quiet
lobbying over the subject of appor
tionment , the opposition to the Burns
bill growing more and more decided ,
Mr. Whedon , of Lancaster , has a bill
which seems to meet with considera
ble favor. It puts Sarjiy county with
the South Platte counties as far west
as Saline and Gage into the first dis
trict ; Douglas and enough of the
North Platte to make a proper di
vision , will constitute the second ,
and the balance of the state the third.
The ministers remained in session
almost all day long yesterday , and
whoreased and resolved to their
hearts' content over the evils of tippling -
pling and the practical beauty of total
abstinence. To make make the situ
ation still moro binding , the woman
suffragists mot in the afternoon and
made preparations to take sundry
legislative scalps.
My letter of day before yesterday
gave THE BEK a wrong understanding
in regard to the governor's intention
to veto any extraneous legislation ,
He did not say , as I appear to have
made him , that ho would vote any
rcsolutibns the body , might pasi
( which would bo sheer nonsense ) , bat
that ho Would cxorcieo that power in
regard to any legislation that might
spring from the introduction of sub
jects outside the call ,
Some startling revelations in the
postofllco investigation are promised.
According to the ramor , Hull is in
deeper water than was ever imagined.
Nothing of any particular moment
happened at the house this mornin
until the joint session occurred. A :
election was held for chaplain , result
ing in the choice of llov. Gcorgi
Scott. The house also discharged al
committee clerks.
In the senate a conaidorablo flurry
was occasioned by the introduction o
a resolution by Senator Meyers , t
the following effect :
Joint resolution in rcferenoo t
bribery and embezzlement of national
monies ' , and corruption :
Whereas , A cor tain newspaper calle
tluvOmaha Daily Herald , printed am
published by George L. Miller ant
Lyman Richardson , proprietors , in
the city ot Omaha , State of Nebraska ,
of date May. 10,1882 , contain ! several

ment on the part of certain well known
members of the senate and house o : '
representatives of 4 ho legislature o
Nebraska , now in special session , and
also" " " in reference to Senator Van
\Vyck , otfo of the senators from thii
rtao in the senate of the * Unitoi
States , and
Whereas * Said editorial articles and
paragraphs'aro believed to bo of the
most scandalous and infamous character -

mittee will have power , and authority

ection of two additional representa
tives from Nebraska confcra n polit :
ical right to which the state becomes .
entitled under the census of 1880. I
congratulate you , , as representatives
of the people , in view of this substan
tial cvidenco of growth and prosperity.
Before passing to other subjects I
Imvo'only to add that the immediate
apportionment of the state into con
gressional districts on the basis fixed
by law is demanded and I. trust that ,
this duty will receive your first atten
tion.
tion.On
On the 9th day of last March I was
officially notified by Mayor Boyd , of
Omaha , that a formidable riot was in
progress in that city , and -was earn
estly requested to furnish the neces
sary force to enforce the laws and pro
tect the people of Omaha from mob
violence the civil authorities being
powerless , Subsequently on the same
day I received a telegram signed
jointly by Mayor Boyd and the sheriff
of Douglas county , informing mo
thai the civil authorities were powerless -
loss to protect peaceful laborers , and
representing that United States troops
were absolutely necessary to restore
ordor. This dispatch was supple
mented by ono which was signed by
a largo number of the most substan
tial business men of Omaha , endorsing
ing the mayor's application in the
strongest terms. I at once placed the
Nebraska National Guard under
orders to bo held in readiness for
duty , and made a formal requisition
mpon the president of the United
Stntos for troops to aid in suppressing
domestic violence ; basing the applies
tion upon the information receiver
from the civil authorities of the cit
of Omaha and Douglas county , whic
Information WM forwarded _ to th
president with the application fo
United States troops. Favorable no
tion was taken by the president an
troops were promptly furnished.
With a view to obtaining moro deft
nito information concerning the situa
tion and the force required , I diroctcc
Adjutant General Alexander to proceed
coed to Omahn and confer with thi
civil authorities. Immediately afto
his arrival there , I WAS informed b
him that ho had consulted with Mayoi
Boyd , and that it was the judgmon
of the mayor that the Nebraska Na
tional Guards should bo ordered in al
the same time as the United States
troops. I then directed Oolonol Colby
commanding the Nebraska National
Guards , to issue orders to the several
companies of the regiment to proceed
to Omaha by special trains which had
boon provided , and on the morning of
the llth of March a force of United
States and state troops , numbering
about six hundred men , reached
Omaha , and were placed under
the mayor's orders. They were ju
diciously employed by him for the
purpose of re-establishing civil author
ity and to protect laborers , who , on
the arrival of the military , immedi
ately resumed the work which they
had' been compelled to abandon by
the infuii itcd mob. The rioters wore
overawed by the unexpected display
of military force , but were not sub
dued. .For several days their riotous
demonstrations continued , and the
troops , both state and national , wore
subjected to ovQiy form .of insult and
abuso. The final restoration of order
without great loss of lifo , was largely
duo to the forbearance of the soldiers
under the most exasperating circum
stances. Gradually tho' ' violence of
the mob subsided , and the tro6ps being -
ing no longer required , wore with
drawn.
In-this connection I cannot too
highly commend the soldierly conduct
of the Nebraska National Guard.
When placed under orders , officers
and men reported for duty with the
promptness of votorans. During their"
brief service they won for themselves
the admiration .and gratitude of all
good citizens , and fully verified the
wisdom of the act of 1881 , which
placed our state , military organization
upon a more effective basis. I re
commend that a sudiciont amount of
money be appropriated to pay the
Nebraska troops for their services
while employed as aboyo stated , and
to pay other expenses incurred for
their transportation and maintainenoo.
The state should be prompt to com
pensate them for their services aa
they were prompt in reporting for
duty.
The act of 1881 entitled , "An act
to incorporate cities of the first class ,
and regulating 'their duties , powers
and government j" .failed "to" confer
upon such .municipalities sufSp'Jent
adamizing or paying streets and alleys.
I recommend a judicious increase of
powerin this particular , and that the
act be also amended by providing
for the creation of a board of public
works.
An amendment of the law rotating
to cities of the second class is required
for the purpose of facilitating the con
struction of water works. The pro
posed legislation is very essential , and
I trust that the subject will have your
favorable consideration. j
By a decision of the supreme court
of this state , which appears in''tho- '
llth volume of Nebraska Roports-'it
appears that the organization of Ous-1
ter county had the effect of placing
the county outside of any judicial
district. This anomalous condition
iias seriously obstructed the adminis
tration of justice in said county , .and
ihould bo remedied at oncd by proper
escalation.
By an act of congress approved
March 28 , 1882 , the northern bound-
iry of the state of Nebraska was ex-
pndod so as to include all that por-
ion of the territory ot Dakota lying
louth.of the 43d ptfrallol of north lati-
udo. and cast of the Keya-paha river
md west of. the main channel of the
Missouri river , aubjeottotho provision
.hat the act aforesaid shall not take
fleet , BO far as the jurisdiction is
ioncorned , until the Indian State ot
tfobraskti ohall have assented to the
revisions of the act. This subject is
lubmittcd for' your consideration , in
rdpr that you may determine what
iction shall bo taken by the state for
hp purpose ot giving full force and
jffeot to naid act of congress.
In conclusion , I express the hope
hat you may have a pleasant and
larmonious session , and that it may
lot bo prolonged beyond tho.tlmo no-
ually required for the , transaction of
.ho business which you have under
sondderation. AUIINUH NANOK ,

THE NEW HEABUHBH.
LONDON , May 12.-In the homo of
ominous last evening Sir Harcourt ,
eorotnry of stuto for the homo do-
lartment , in the ubsunao of Mr. Glad-
tone , stated that the now repression
iroposals of the government contain-
d the following provisions in all of
pinch the lord liuutonont may act ;
'lio judgcsjof the aupromocourtjtoap-
toint three of their number , to whom
a to bo referred crimes of treason ,
nurder , attempt to kill , crimes of ag-
rewatod violence and attacks on dweH ,
nf houses ; the court to sot 'without
ury , the other three judges of the
upremo court to bo a court appeal ,
rith power of diminution , but not
if an increase of the sentence. The
ithor provisions were meant to defeat
he plots of the secret societies and
heir agents. There provisions were
inly to bo put in force in proclaimed
listricts , and were first , the power
if search ; second , power to arrest
orsons prowling about at night and '
inablo to qivo an account of thorn-
iclves ; third , power to arrest strangers
vhonever doomed advisable by > gents
if the government.
Cheers followed the announcement
f this clause.
Continuing , the speaker said it was ,
mown that these murderous attempts
KOTO not made by residents , It was
locessary there should bo granted the
power of removal of foreigners who
were considered dangerous to the
safety of society , There , in Ireland
they propose to revive the alien act as
to secret societies , It was proposed :
that membership and partnership
ahall bo an offense under the
act , and should bo summarily dealt
with. It was also intended to deal
summarily with offenses such as riots ,
aggravated assaults and the like. In
cases of unlawful mooting * , power is
given the viceroy to act as he might
lie right. Newspapers publishing the
call for such meetings and abetting
unlawful acts , editorially or otherwise ,
will bo forfeited , and power is given
to CAUSO the publishers to outer into
recognizance , not to republish such
paper. The viceroy is empowered to
appoint Additional poliro in any par
ticular district , the oxponao entailed
by such additional police to bo paid
by the residents of the locality to
which they urn appointed.
Cheers followed this announce
ment.
Compensation for ' murder * and
mannings is to bo loriod on the in
habitants of districts where such mur
ders and mnimings occurred. The
propoicd duration of the act is throe
years.
The measure , the speaker said , was
no doubt an extraordinary one , but it
will deal with extraordinary circum
stances.
Cheers followed the conclusion of
the speaker/ ) explanation oltho | act.
Sir Station ! Northcoto and other
conservative apoakors gave general
assent to the act , reserving their criti
cism of various clauses. Mr. Hcaley
said that the severity of the act was
for the purpose of keeping the liberals
in office , and that it would tend to in-
croasoi secret societies rather than
diminish thorn.
Dillon denounced the act as a blood
thirsty measure that the Dublin mur
ders were of an isolated character and
were not akin to agrarian outrages.
Ho know something of Irish crimes ;
[ Derisive chcora ] and ho know the
Irish peasantry would not acknowl

A Now York dispatch to The Chi
ago Tribune says ; While the Dub
lin assassination is now prominently
before the publio , and the law i
reaching out to assort its majesty aw
summon the perpetrators of the murder
dor before the bar of justice , a sug
ceation might be made that will per
haps make clearer some of the myster
ions points of the affair. The method
employed in iho assassination do no
appear to have occurred to the publio
as being peculiarly American. The
manner in which the scene of the
affair waa approached by the conspira
tors in the cart andthocscapo effected ,
were both planned evidently by per
sons who were thoroughly posted on
the old time Now York plan of com-
mittiug robberies in open daylight nnd
in frequented thoroughfares. This is
what is known in criminal and do tec t-
ivo circles hero aa
TUB BUTCHEn-Clnt QAMH.
It has boon worked hero for years.
Every now and then the publio is sur
prised at the recital of an affair of
urpriamgaudacityand daring.wherein
two or throe mon in a strong butcher-
cart would accomplish u robbery un
der the very eyes of the police , and
effect an escape. The auddon dash ,
the unsuspecting appearance of the
vehicle combine to throw the victims
off their miard , and the work of rob
bery of express wagons or bank mes
sengers is accomplished with such expedition -
podition t'iat the perpetrators make
their escape before the situation is
realized. This is said by detectives
to bo peculiarly a Now York device
for robbing vehicles transporting largo
sums of money , and has boon
SUCCESSFULLY CAIUUED OUT HT MANT

Few of those highwaymen have ever
boon captured. It lias been practiced
in a fowjithor cities of this country ,
but dotojtivoa hero snort that they

sideration , they argue that the mur
der of the two officers in Dublin was
cither prearranged by parties conver
sant with the American butcher-cart
trick I , or was carried out by some ono
schooled in this peculiar mode of
crimp. From this they make the de
< duction that the original suspicion of
Irish-Americans being involved in the
affair will bo ultimately found to bo

Mr. Walling said ho had no official ,

ion as to the manner in which the vil
lains did their work , and that ho was.
just txs apt to err as any other newspaper - '
paper reader. Ho went on to. say :
"What are called butcher-cart robber
ies are invariably the result of long
plotting. The man marked for rob-
oory is watched for .weeks , and bis
labits are known to a nicety of the
robbers. There is a similarity in the
ilans of the Phcunix Park murderers
md those by a gam ? of butcher-cart
hiovos , but , although they

hat they wont to murder the under-

would have given an alarm had he

ragon , in which men were concealed ,
cannot remember to have road or' '
oard of .butcher-cart robberies in
Europe , and believe that few have oc-
urrod outside of Now York and its
