No fewer than eight bills on the ap portionment problem were presented in the two houses , throe originating hi the senate and five in the house Some of those bills were pretty much alike , their authors notovidently com paring notes before submitting their offspring to the scrutiny of the legisla ture. Throe of the bills place Doug ias and Sarpy counties with the country south of the Platte and east of Saline connty. Two put Sarpy south and Douglas north , and the rest place Douglas north of the Platto. The determination to beat the Burns bill and its imitators is so strong that it looks as though , it would certainly succeed , though some of the members are a trifle non-committal. SENATE.

Mr. Broatch presented a memorial .o congress recommending the promo- ion of General George Crook to the rank of .major general , reciting his meritorious services in his long Indian xperiouce. No business of importance was transacted in the house this forenoon. TUB SHANGHAI CROWS. The senate convened at 10 o'clock , mmodietoly after the reading of the ournal was concluded by the clerk Senator Myers , of Douglas called up lia resolutions to investigate alleged rauda and embezzlement in conneo- ion with the surveyor general's oflico t Plattsmouth. Senator Powers raised the point of rdor that these resolutions could note > o entertained because they proposed iiisiness not embraced in the gov- rnor'o call , hence were unconstltu- ionol Ho cited section 8 , article 5 , of the constitution , wh'ich _ provides bat the legislature shall enter 'upon no business except that for Which hey were called together ; and section .5 of article 8 , which says that all resolutions that require the concur rence of both houses must bo sub mitted to the governor for his ap proval , and therefore are in the na- ure of legislation. The resolutions offered by Mr. Myers being of that haractor , could thoroforp not bo on- ertainod under the constitution. The president of the senate SUSTAINED THE POINT OT OKDKJt , adding f urther that ho , ( Gams ) , had , he verbal opinion of Attorney General Jillworth that these Investigation evolutions could not bo acted on at his session , and ho assured the senate ate ho could procure this opinion in writing if it was wanted. Mr. Myers : I appeal from the de cision of the chair. Senator Toft rose to a question of irivilego Ho appealed to his col leagues in the senate whether during his long service his reputation had over been tarnished by any dishon orable act. It was well known that 16 had boon an ardent supporter of Senator Van Wyck during the late senatorial canvass and ho labored with Ilia colleagues earnestly on behalf of lia candidate , but ho would ask "any senator on the floor whether ho waa ever approached by him with offers of patronage or place , Pausing a few moments the senator said , I hear no response. I was perhaps as intimately associated with Senator Van Wyck as any of his supporters , and I never liavo known or heard of any bargain or promise of patronage dur'nB the senatorial canvass , Ho pronounced the charges of the'Omaha Herald as connecting his name with any frauds or jobbery as BASE 8LANDEH8. At the proper time ho intended tc take up and moot these charges bul no man who does not own a newspa per could afford to indulge In newspaper per controversies and am appeal to the courts might involve a man in an out lay of $400 or $500 for lawyers anc an award by a jury of perhaps five cents. ( This was an allusion to Sena tor Myers' $20,000 libel suit against THE BEG. ) If the senate had the time and authority to act in this matter - tor he was willing to have it dono. At the conclusion of these remarks Mr , Myers withdrew his appeal from the decision of the chair. President Garni thereupon declared the investigating resolutions out of order and ruled out. Senator Toft's remarks were pronounced nouncod A FEEBLE EFFORT , oven by his best friends , and the po litical friends of Van Wyck nro chuck < ling over their success in smirching the reputation of one of his loading supporters and creating a damaging impression concerning ins own con duct. Cams , who fools terribly uneasy - easy about the threatened revelations of his late partner , Reynolds , also fools much relieved. Ho has been laboring hard to establish a precedent against investigation at this session. The opinion is freely expressed , how ever , that this is by no moans the end of the Investigating business. It is predicted that Senator Van Wyok will doirand and insist upon some action to disprove the slanders _ against him self that were embodied in the Meyers resolution. There is no doubt that either house can legally investigate the conduct of its own members , or enter upon any inquiry that docs not require the assant of the governor or concurrence of the houso. THE MILITIA EXl'ENBES. The militia appropriation bill , liandod In by Rlickoy , of Polk county , calls for the disbursement of the sum of $12,023.83 for the payment of the following expenses : Quartermaster's department , $2,403.34 , including transportations ; commissary depart ment , $4,167.10 ; pay-roll , $5.039.19 ] surgeon , $114.25 ; regimental staff , $674.09 ; governor's staff , $807.90 ; os- ; imated outstanding claims , $200- [ "ho " charge for transportation by the Union Pacific is $276.80 , and by the & M. $1,503.50.

TIIE inisii IN NEW vontf. NEW YORK , May 12. Cooper Union was crowded to its utmost ca pacity this evening by _ citizens of nil classes to giro expression to tie scnso of abhorrence with which the news of the assassination of Oavcndiah and Burke was received by nil classes of American citizens. Among the nudi- once were many ladies. O'Donovan [ lossa Bat in the center of the hall , facing the platform , surrounded by a number of friends. In consequence of a number of threats having boon undo , that the mooting would bo broken up. ono hundred police were distributed throughout the hall to preserve - servo order , and a reserve of fifry was detailed in the upper part of the wilding , ready to act at a moment's notice. Mayor Grace presided and jn open- ng said : The last time ho presided in ho hall itHAS when a meeting TTOS told to protest against the imprison- nont of Americans in English prisons. Soppily they are released , wo are now assembled to express our abhor- nnco of a great crime. Wo had re covered from ono surprise when the news flashed out over the wires [ A voice.

I feel confident the deed was not done by friends of Ireland or of -ho Irish cause. " The speaker then denounced the now bill which had recently been in troduced in parliament , and con cluded by saying ho had no doubt but ; hat at an early day the Irish people would obtain self government Hon. Richard O'Gorman ivai the next speaker. Ho said : "I dil not see that it was necessary to hoHja public mooting to denounce thq./c'jjfftnd iin- natural murder unnatural ; because it was committed in Ireland.

" Ho was > leased that no complicity could bo > rganlzed against the Irishmen of any faction , but it was foolishness to sup- lose Irishmen would treat England with J brute forco.

Ho concluded by saying that the hour in Ireland was a very stormy ono. It was ono of dan ger ; but light followed darkness. It ras their darkest hour just before the dawn. Great uproar hero followed , during which a man named Morgan among ho audience attempted to address the meeting. Order was finally restored and the chairman introduced Wm , B. Wallace , president of the land league of New York , who said they bad , as sembled together to repudiate the assassination. No matter by whom it was committed , England was sure o take advantage of it , and would enact stronger laws than over before. Their duty was to stand by Charles Stewart Parnell , { "groat cheer ing1' ' ] in strengthening their hands jy your support. The assassination was not the work of the land leaguers , but the enemies of the Irish people. James Hcdpath said that an assassin was not only a man without heart , but without brains. Ho detested assassins , but God bless nihilism and dynamite In Russia [ cheers ] . The assassination of Cavendish and Burke was n fatal blow to progressive liberty in Ireland , but the real assassins of Cavondisl : and Burke were not the rea hearted murderers that committed the act , but Gladstone and Forster. [ Cheers/ Resolutions were adopted strongly condemning the assassination and the damage caused Irish nationality ; de nouncing the law last night oflved by the government as a greater wront , than any to which Ireland has yet been subjected , protesting against the employment of brute force , whether by the dagger of the assassin or by organized militia power. iiiiaii aIUND JURIES.

Only states of the north Atlantic cpast and thoio of Ohio val ley , Texas and these of Pacific coast fall | to roach 100. while the ontraor- dinary vigor of the crop in other sec tions fully compensates for these local deficiencies which amount to nineteen in New York , twenty-four in Texas and nine in Ohio and the eastern belt. The weather has boon too cold and tbo ground too wet , causing uneven growth and yellow color. In Wist Virginia and Ohio frosts cut down the most ad vanced growth.
