UAUONE'S MAN.
Although the reported rupture be
tween Senator Mahono and Mr. Ful-
keraou lacks confirmation , consider
able comment has boon occasioned by
the rumor that both partioa refuse to
bo interviewed. Friends of Fulkor-
son say he is dissatisfied with the non
fulfillment of a promise made , and
will not be bound by Mahono'a orders.
Bomo persons says Riddlobergor fools

publicans in the house claim that
Fulkoraon is acting in good faith in
voting with them , and there is no fear
of his desertion now.

LINCOLN , May 25. The last country
member has packed his gripsack and
has hied him homeward to the bosom
of hia constituents , there to receive
commendation or curses , according to
whether ho has boon n faithful or inefficient - >
efficient servant. It is safe to say
that for a goodly number of the pro
found statesmen who have so lately
sat in council hero , the wclcomo homo
will bo anything but an affectionate
one. As the cchoea of the "Hurrah
boys" method of carrying an unjust
or unpopular measure through dH >
away , the returning legislator will
hear the uncomfortable murmur of o
misrepresented public buzzing in hia
ears. It ia safe to say that n large
proportion of the members of the
present legislature desire a re-election.
They have had one "whnok" at the
sport of creating a United States sen
ator , nnd would bo only too willing to
repeat the pleasure , if it may bo
vouchsafed them. For the larger portion
tion of them ihis hopa is not destined
to blossom into reality. The select
few , who through their works have
really earned tbo gratitude of these
whom they are supposed to represent ,
will come back to the old stamping
grounds next winter , and perhaps then
Fay'the foundation for future political
greatness. I will shortly take occa
sion lo refer to this subject more at
length , and hold up the records of
Bomo of these profound men of affair a.
It will make good Sunday reading for
them.
Notwithstanding the specious pleas
made in its behalf , the Burns bill ia
very unpopular here among these who
take any interest in political matters.
With ua here , the great objection to
the present plan of apportionment ia
that Omaha is saddled upon our dis
trict ; with you the trouble seems to
bo , not that Lincoln is with you , but
that you are soporated from that ter
ritory to which you nro naturally
illiad by a similarity of interests.
[ Icro it is fear that n multiplicity of
candidates elabwhpro in the district
will work to the disodvautagu of Lin
coln statesmen ; there is merely afeol-
ng that you have bean thrown out ci
rnur normal position merely to gratify
he jealousy of the northern pirt of
the state , and the cupidity of the
southern. There was a grcut deal of
ontiniontal party talk vented over the
josaibility of making a democrat db-
rict , if Douglas county was loft with
ho North PJatto region. Simmered
lown , this four amounted mm ply to &
ealization of the fact that Mr. Yalcn-
ino would fail to secure a nomination
n u district so arranged ; nnd it waa
n no small part to further his chances
hat the existing arrangement was
taado.
The Bcr.no in the house the last
night of the session wan not altogether
reditablo to that body. There k
ittlo doubt but that a majorit/ the
nombors were willing , even deoirouo ,
o censure Lieut. Gov. Cams , and.
uoh would have been the result that
night , had it not been for Church
Inwe's bolt. The feeling on thu >
ubjcct had been carefully woikcd up.
'lie argument was successfully used
with a good ninny wavering momboru
lint the house had no right to coo-
uro an officer of the senate , but that
ho latter body was the tribunal bo-
ore which ho should be tried. The
argo vote by which the majority re-
> ort of iho senate investigating conv-
nitteo was carried is pointed to by
Hr. Cams' friends as an evidence.that
no prejudice exists in the party ranks
gainst him. Still , it is perhaps lucky
or Cams that ho has had no very
erious intentions of running for of-
co this year , as the not results of the
wo investigations could bo used
gainst him with damaging effect in u
ody where issues will conflict , as they
re bound to do at the coming statti
onvontion.
Lincoln is again as sleepy and quiet
s she was before the late session oo-
urrcd to send n pulsation of fresh
fo through her veins of trade. Tiia
orraant condition of affairs will
dubtlcss continue were or less all
ummer and fall. With the next sea-
ion will como fresh appropriations ,
nd if the harvest yielus as bouuti- \
ully as is the present prospect , a now
m of prosperity may dawn upon thu
uagio city of thu Bali no basis.
