The Routine Buainosa of Both Branches. SptcUI Correspondence of Tn * tin. SENATE. LINCOLN , Neb , February 24. Sen ator Oonuor , from thu comraittco to Investigate thu Nebraska hospital for thu incline , utked leave to submit the following report , : Bin. PHKSIUENTYour spoolal com- wlttfo appointed to invcatlgeto charges of uoglbot and cruelty < zeroised by the superintendent hud cniploua ot the Nebraska insane asylum towards pa tients therein conQnod , have had the anbjcot matter cf the resolution creat ing said committee under considera tion , and deairo to make the folio wit f report : The committee have examined fifty- six witnesses , the testimony elicited - extending ever a period of some four " " "v years. The evidence of twenty-two witnesses establishes many nets of neglect , and In some instances great and excessive cruelty , f xerclstd by the attendants cf the usyinm , mostly toward the male inmates therein con fined , Those acts of cruelty , consist ing of striking , kicking and choking patients , have occurred at fnqumic intervals throughout the management of Dr. Matthuwaon. There u bat at tic , if any. evidence tending to show that Df. MatthewBon personally ku w at tbo respective timi's theatt acto of cruelty occurred that they did ouuir , or wcro oominittcd ay tbe lutendtmta In charge of the p-ttieote , but the corn- mltttto la of the opinion that undui vlglhmt , liumnuo und proper manage- moui ot thu asylum nuoh aoln cf cruel ty couid not and should not have oc curred nt all , The comrolttpo examined thirty- 1 fonr wUmuMcs for and on bohait i f the superlntondunt of tuo mylum Tbo witnesses thus exuuain'-d wore very generally employes or pflicora of the asylum or those who at some time had been employed In , or in some way connected with the asylum while un der the management ot Dr. Matthew- eon. eon.These witnesses thna examined very generally testified that the manage ment of the affairs of the oaylum was good , that few or no acts of neglect or cruelty had come under the observa tion of said witnesses , and that Dr. ; Matthewson was a vigilant and humane officer ; but It will bo observed from an inspection of the evidence that most of the testimony related to the management of the female wards of the asylum and that it did not ma terially contradict or impeach the specific acts of neglect or cruelty on " the part of Dr. Matthewson. Tut- compiled statutes , suction 16 , page 301 , provide for a matron , who , ' - under the direction of the superin tendent and not otherwise , shall have I * the general supervision of the domes tic arrangements of the hospital and * do wh. t she can to promote the com fort and restoration of the Inrnaten. : - The evidence disclosed the fact that tor a long period the eervices of a mat ron wcfo diepenaod with at tbe hos pital. The committee Is of the opin ion that K , matron la H necosary em i ploye of the apylmu , and la eo con il templated by the statute , and it IB the ' NLT further opinion of the committee that T the anporintondonV. of two sjJuiu bus no legal power whatever to diaponsu with the services of a matron , and to do so IB an usurpation of power not warranted by the statute or the bout interests of the asylum. In view of the evidence adduced , the committee is of the opinion that t the management of the asylnm by Dr. MatthowBon has not been In accord ance with law , or with the beat inter ests of that unfortunate class of our citizens for whose benefit the asylnm was established ; and we are reluct antly forced to the conclusion that a change in the management of the asy lnm would subserve the best interests of tbo institution ; and we therefore recommend that such change ba made at r.n early a day ai practicable. Your committee respectfully sug- 1 gest that the evidence taken in the examination bo printed , or In the event the senate do not concur in this . view that then , and In that event , the senate direct the attorney general to take charge of the testimony and pre serve the same in his office for future , ' reference and consideration. r ' Very respectfully submit ted , t A. H. CONNER , Chairman. H. SnOENHElT. "fa- , Mr. Rogers , from the same com mlttee , submitted the following re port : MB. PRESIDENT I am unable t < join with the majority of your com mlttee appointed ta investigate certain tain charges against the managemeni of the state lunatic aaylnm , In theli report to your body , for the reasoi that I have been unable to attend a' ' several meetings of the committee and since the Investigation has closoc I have not had time to rovlow anc properly examine tbo six hundrec pages of evidence taken. As the leg Mature may soon adjourn , 1 respect fully ask that I be excused fron further serving as member of salt committee , and that the senate noi take notion on this report. Respectfully , JOSIAII ROQEBS. Two thousand copies of a panlphle containing all the testimony was 01 motion ordered printed , 500 of whlc ; - were to be placed In the office of th secretary of state , and the romalnde to bo equally divided among the men : bers of the legislature. The cipltol appropriation bill we made a special order for 830 thl evening , and at that time was take , up , and after much eklrmlshing o tha put of the enemies of the measnri panaud by a vote of 18 to U. Th ! bill haa been amended In the aenati / cnttirc down the amount from or f , . mill 10 oiio-half mill. The time f ( final adjournment , having boon fixed for next Monday nt midnight , U ia fftlr to preruruu that Monday will boa lively day hero.TIIE TIIE HOUSE , LINCOLN , February 24. The houno paaaod a number of blllo from the BOH- nto to-day , the most important of whloh arc : Harrison's joint rosolation providing for the aabmltilon to oloa * ton of an amendment to the constitu tion ; Dye's bill requiring connty treas urers to publish reports of financial condition of counties ; Reynolds' me morial to congress concerning tolls of railroad bridges across the Missouri rlvor. Quito a atcrmy debate arose out of the question of adjourntnont. Palmer , of Saltno , moved an adjout- mont till 7 o'clock p. in. Monday. Hollman amended to make the hour 3 p. m. Both Wore voted down. The following mosaago was received from tbo senate : WIIEKKAS , Railroad legislation Is needed ; and , whereat ) , thi.ro doe not seem time to act in the regular way , thoruforo bo It RESOLVED , That this ounato appoint a committee of conference of three on .ho railroad bills now in this legisla ture and request the honso to appoint a like committee and the report of fa'j'n committee shall take prccedonco of all legislation except the regular appropriation bllln and bo considered , immediately after being received ; and have appointed ia auch oommitteo , Senators Brown of Olay , Sang and Butior. Cook , of Nuckolle , moved to concur In the resolution of the aonato In re gard to railroad legislation. Hollmau moved to table the resolu tion. tion.Franao jumped up end moved to ad journ till 11 o clock Monday. Grout moved an amendment that the hour to adjourn to bo 9:10. : Both lost Franso hoped the resolution would not carry. It would seem that in in troducing this resolution nomobody had found out something. It ought to have boon introduced at the becin- nlug It eosniod to him they had apetit 40 day * in ust-lesi efforts to pet railroad legislation. Some times the republicans wanted railroad legislation and Bomotlmon the antl-mouops warned it and sometimes they did nut. There > o rivalry between the anti monopa and the republican and they will oppoEO measurou introduced by the other eid . Hu vaa afraid to fuataln the resolu tion wonld keep them there for weeks. McAllister was in favor of appoint ing this committee and w.-u willing to join handa with any party to got hon- eat railroad legislation. Cook , of Nockolls , WHO a Itttlo amused at the sophistry cf the num ber from Cumiags ( Frann ) , _ who wiiihcd to make out tnure wua a war between the anti-monopolists' and re publican a. The real tronblo is that the democrats have aproad out their coata and have promised to take the antis to glory on their coat tails. True antl-monopa are willing to join hands on this floor. Ho waa dis gusted with the filllbnsterlng that had been going on in the house. Hollman did not accuse any partic ular party of having neglected to dls- charge its duty in regard to this ques tion of railroad legislation , but he waa remarkably pleased to hoar the distinguished gentleman from Nuok- oils talk BO affectionately of our anil- monopoly friends. This waa the first time ho had extended this hand of affection for forty daya. Had ho done this forty , or twenty or ten daya ago a railroad bill might hayobson passed. Now it waa too late and ho opposed the adoption of the resolution. Dodd voted "aye. " aa he waa ready to do anything it he aaw the slightest : hanoa of the people getting any measure through that would relieve them from the bnrdena under which they groan. Whedon hoped the resolution wonld not prevail. There waa no harm in having a conference , and ho hoped the members wonld not bo misled by state ments from the honorable member rom Gaming ( Franao ) Jensen understood the motives the I'ntlowan from Oumlng ( Franso ) , ad in opposing the resolution , He iad made it his brag that he ia a rail- 'oad ' attorney , and aa the servant of ho company that retains him , it It noumbeut upon him to oppose all nllroad legislation which ho thought 'n orons to railroad Interests. Frauso pretended to be indignant > t this charge and made a high Haiti- in aort of n speech , llanoy waa satis- "ed It waa taffy thrown out by the to- nblican party , and ho opposed it. After further discussion the reeolu- ion was carried by a vote of 44 to 41 , Houae adjourned to 9:30 : Monday , The lObatlnaoy and ucner Pecullarl- | ties of Queen Victoria , ondon Letter. The obstinacy of the queen la provoc by the open , persistent favotltlan shown to her "gllllo" or valet , Jobi .Brown. Incomprehensible and mean inglesa , It goads almost to madnes her immediate entourage , and over ; open or tacit opposition only cause it to be more manifest. That prondes of proud women has been made , by i preconcerted plan , tb aee this eervan of hen In the moat degraded state o drunkenness , almost at her very foot and yet , with an Infatuation strongo even than femininity , her man ner to him remained nn changed , and ahe made no sign tha could give a clew to her aecro thoughts , Ladles in waiting of exalted alted rank Have rebelled openl ; against the breach of etiquette , hi familiarity has craatod , and refused ti be made a party to it , but , annbboi by them , he waa only the moat gra clonaly treated by his rpyal mistress Ho follows her like n shadow fron palace to palace , in public and in prl vato , bahlnd her chair nt her moaU In the rumble of her carriage in he drives , bonding over to exchange few wards with her , and c.ilinl ; possessing himself of her field gloss to Inspect some distant manouvr at a review. The Queen doca not slacken th reins on her aons * nocks when the marry ; she orders , directs , sways thei at homo and abroad , and acorns n minute detail , just aa she allows n Impulse of Independence. At Potori burg , during some fotea , the Prince c Wales telegraphed to ask his mothc whether he might attend the Ooui ball on Sunday night. The answc waa wired back , 'Decidedly no , " an ho abstained. It was said , howove : that he sonant more mysterious an quite nnsabbathlcal compensations. The Queen , faithful to her trad lions of Interference , rules tlin twites of all her other children to > li pres ent day. She lent Ab.ngeldlo Ciuitlo to the Ptlnoo of Wales aa a meet suit able Scotch residence till ho found out that the apartments were small and uncomfortable , and he must relinquish It for another Highland place : but the discovery was provldcntltUlv not made till the Prlnco hud spout 20,000 in Improving the property. Olaromont , after her majesty's designs , has boon redecorated for her last daughtor-ln- law , and it is not unlikely that ohrlat- nlng bells will soon ring out from there a joyous chlmo. She has also sot apart and superintended the arrangements of a aulto of rooms , not by any means an extensive one , for the Dukoand Dach- ess of Albany , at Windsor Oaatle. At Osborno and Balmoral the queen la jealous almost to aolfishness of the privacy of her grounds. Not oven In her absence la an alien foot permitted to tread the .snored pre cincts ; severe rebuke from austere gamekeepers overtakes the unwary pedestrian who wanders oven in the romotoat glades of the royal demesne. No road crosses it , no rlpht of way is conceded ; so imperious is her wish for seclusion that in deference to hgr openly-expressed desire no railway 11 constructed within hall of Balmoral. When the ministers of state are hastily summoned to council , after a long and weary journey , they have still a fatiguing drlvo to encounter be fore reaching the royal presence. To men no longer young , tried by severe mental exertions and much business , this Is a aorioua drawback , but ono which the queen never takes into consideration. Her majesty baa now loft this , her favorite residence. She haa lingered long enough to glvo a parting ball to the tenants and gillies , and opened for them the apartments closed to other people. She haa taken the laat of those matutinal walks , the weary treadmill of the Prlncoaa Beatrice. She haa bid adieu to the piper who , according to some , wakoa her up at 9 with his Inharmonious bagpipes , and , according to others , playa them under her windows while she ia dressing. She haa returned to Windsor after ono of the journeys she ia so fond of makine at night , surrounded with mystery , wltti closed stations and sightseers excluded. A Rnro Instance. Detroit Free Press.

Although the past week ended up with a gentle norther , accompanied by a mixture of rainsnow and elect , which wonld require a chemical analysis to properly define , it wau on the whole a great Improvement on Its predecessor , the week before. Last Sunday waa pleasant , Monday clear , warm and pleasant , Tnosday fair , Wednesday cloudy , but not disagreeable , and oloar at night. Thursday commenced the preparations for the storm , whioh finally act In Friday morning , and la only now at the end of ita progress. The alnah and mud is kuoo deep , and reminds the people of the pro-autum nal day , before a merciful providence carpeted the streets with a soft anew cover , when to bo stuck , like old Burnsldo , waa one of the common In cidents of Omaha life. How lonesome the two squares of aaphallnm pave ment pavement on Douglas street will fool when they are excavated after the storm and see the mire all around and about them The rainfall during the past two days of the week , as measured in the United States signal oitico , amounts to over a quarter of an inch , whloh ia scarcely enough to replenish the dry cisterns for domestic purposes. How ever , It IB abundant to keep the side walks of the city in a state of slippery smoothness , on which the pedes trian can practice the in vigorating art of balance skating , free of charge , with the full comple ment of resulting falls , for the tem perature ia kept so evenly around the froexlng point that the film of ice which forma every night haa very lit tle chance to yield entirely to the friendly influence of the sun's rays Although the astronomical date for the opening of spring does not arrive until the 1st of March , It is generally accepted that by the end of February just at this tlrao , the winter is practic ally over , and what a winter thla wasl A rich harvest for all the coal and icemen mon , to bo sure , but tn the average mortal of other pornnaslous , how BO- voro and terrible ! It is fortunate that winter cornea only once each year and such a ono aa the present but onoo in a lifetime. The river is still frozen solid , and while east and south of hero destructive floods rage fiercely , Omaha ia aa yet exempt from this fury.Lent Lent does not scorn to bear heavily on the penitent citizens of Omaha , judging from the numerous amuse- mentaln full blast , unless the ha bitues of the Academy of Music be exempt from the rule. Two reverend gentlemen , both learned in the wholly writ , but divergent In their opinion aa to its origin , have published to the werld the result of their investiga tions , whloh ia on the Presbyterian Ido , that the book is inspired and inbllmo ; and on the Unitarian side , hat it la sublime in many parts , but if human creation , full of human 'alllngs and errors. Washington's birthday passed by as uaual , with Jlttlo demonstration.
