LINCOLN" , January 12. It takes kittens nine
day.s after they mo born before they got tlioir
yo9 open , but tlicro la no lulling how long , it
will take bcforu thia legislature will have full
UBO of ita eyes nud cars , Somu of them arc
just beginning tolilinlc. Llko n ship load of
omigrnntH landed In CnstloiGnrdcn , most of
the.-te Nebraska simpletons were awfully green
and credulous , No sooner had they struck the
Lincoln depot than they were tenderly cared
for by a gam ; of political sharps and railroad
cappoiH who took it upon themselves to show
them the way and BOOH trapped them with
their snares. An appeal from 1'eter
drunk to 1'otor sober is seldom
clfoctivo unices Peter is n decant and honest
mau at the outset. I know enough about
human nature to feel nsmred that many of
the members in both houses whb have gone
aitray , and have been betrayed in the organ
ization of this legislature , feel very keenly
tha jutt rebuke that has been adinmisteicd.
They mean to do right , and propose to make
oinoncla for _ their blunder as far as they can.
And tlicro is tha rub. When n woman has
gone astray aho never recovers her lost virtua.
No matter what the repentant legislative
greenhorns may do they cannot remove the
barrier which the jobber and monopolist
in the speaker's chair has placed upon whole-
eonio legislation through 'packed committees.
Tlicro is another group in this legislature
which cannot plead the baby act. They cnmu
down hero with deliberate intent to put them
selves in the market and they care precious
little what the papers Bay or what the people
think about their conduct. A majority of
these rogues have been hero before. Like the
fox of the fable who lost his tail in the trap
and wanted nil the other foxes to dispomo
with theirs , these brazen bribetakers
hardly attempt to conceal their
mercenary intentions nnd they gen
erally try to nuke themsolvoi useful to
the jobbers and monopolioj by turning stool
pigeon and decoying other members into
shameless bargains. I will cite an instance
that came under my personal observation.
The honorable Patrick MoArdle has hudn
taste of UmouPatifio flesh-pots through a Col
orado sandstone paving contraot. Ho boasted
to one member from thia county since his elec
tion that ho was going down this tinio to make
some money. Last Monday when the Omaha
train came in with a portion of the Douglas
dclagation , MoArdlo was on hand
at the depot , lie pounced upon
Mr. Whittnoro nnd confidently informed him
that Mr. Urunnor , another member from
JDouglaa , was waiting for him at the Commer
cial. Whitmoro is not much of a , simpleton ,
but ho Iwd no reason to mistrust McArdle
aud followed him , to the hotel , where Me-
Ard'o ' conducted him to the room in which
ISr tinner was said to he waiting. Mr. Whit
more wni decidedly Ukon back when he
found himself closeted in Mr. Kield'a room
with the bland and child-like Torn Kenuard ,
who at once endeavored to convert him to the
support of the jobber nnd monopolycandidate.
Meantime McArdle had hunted up limn-
IIT in the hotel and sought to drag him into
the Kennard-r'ield oil rojm on the pretcrse
that Whitmoro was there waiting for him.
McArdle lini boon placed where ho can do the
ooat Rood on the committees.
Now that the jobbers are fairly entrenched
in both houses they will begin their raid on
the state treasury through all sorts of benevo
lent schemes. However disagreeable the task
may b ? , I propose to koap the state fully in
formed about their operations. If the legis
lature is bound to play into tha hands of these
brigand * they will have to do it with their
oycj opon.

to expedite tha jobs and scheme * of plunder

people from monopoly extortion. Troup ot
Douglas , has received his rneis of patage in
tliu chairmanship on judiciary. It is safe to
predict that nobody but himself will remem-
bnr anything about that oxa ted position six
months hence ; but nobody ia likely to for
get the bargain which bound him to

knows to be public interest and the sentiment

Holmes wad fortunately a resident of Lincoln

this committee with two or three others from
four to five fold , the clnnco to pretend that
they wore not all one way , Nettleton , who Is
a farmer , was made chairman of the commit

shown to Mr. Clarkson. lloeaid that his de
nial now that h6 in nil o any ovcrtuicj will bo
met by the sufficient contradiction of Kerens ,
Plumb , Dudley nnd others to whom ho dU <
closed the overture ] made on the part of St.
John and that his denial to-day also finds am
ple contradiction in his own admis
sions ns made on the Uth to
reporters of the Chicago and the
New York Trlbuno and the St. Louis Repub
lican , that ho did make such overtures. Clark-
son added : " 'Ilia letterfif introduction ho
brought mo from Senator Plumb showed that
ho had talked fully to Plumb about it , and
this letter I still'have. Legate's declines
that his letter to Kenrns , ns printed by the
Globe-Democrat , is n forgery nnd will notllvo
long. The letter will bo photographed , en
graved and printed , nnd , as his writing is
characteristic nnd well known ia Kansas , the
identity of tbe letter and his authorthip of it
will very Boon be proved. "

Legate as to the letter published to-day pur
porting to have bceji written by him to R. C.
Kerens , of St. Louis , After tending the let
ter carefully Legate said : "This letter Un
cold blooded forgery. I never wrote anything
of the kind to him or nny oue. It is a wilful
and malicious Iio from beginning to end. I
never know Air , Kerens nndneverjmet him but
once. I rodu with him from Cincinnati to
Columbus some ten days before1 the October
election , when he told me the method of the
campaign in Cincinnati. "

which have been ma-Jo against ex-Governor

date for president. The interview icfera to
various conversations had by Mr. Clarkton
with Janus V. Legatof ICausai , and a con-
fereneahad between CmrkjonLegato and R.C.
Kerens , of St. Louis , who had been uentout from

last night , the following letter is thu mojt in

TorKKA , KA ? . , October 4,18SI.
Mr. J. S. Clarksen Sir : When 'tho uloc-
tion Is over read this , then do as you see fit
about the matter. 1 saw tha importance of
controlling measurably the prohihitle n > ,
for the republicans , and v.-V.'ti > , liul
to by St. John I lent an attentive < ; ir.
At benator P.'s request I carte to sea you at
Cincinnati. You btemed to share my views ,
and road mo ycur "talk. " 1 awaited the ar
rival from New York , uncl supposed the mat
ter would bo closed up , bus nfter the con
sultation nt Columbus , it was deemed wiser
that I should look a'ter ' St. John aud got him
at Cincinnati , having previously agreed with
him to go to Michigan with a sorts throat , 1
tele rapoel him , and madn him a specific
promise to go with him to 1'itlnbmg , expect
ing to find some- word there , but failed. I
ssjd to him , 'Based upon what you hod
said , nnd your friend from New
York , together with what was
said by Senator P. thn night nfteir the confer
ence nt Columbus , that I woulel guarantee
§ 10,000 , He was natisfiied , nnd went with
witn mo to Philadelphia , I there persuaded
him to write letters to L. W. Gage , tha state
organizer for Ohio , A. L. Corey , of Samantha -
tha , Rev. Gegon , of Columbus , and Prof. W.
G. l"rost at Oberliu , urging them and the re
publican state tieket , saying that if the repub
lican state ticket waa elected ho believed Ids
vote in November would ba largely in
crease J. My judgment is that his leaving
the state and writing these letters added a
very large number to the republican majori
ties in Ohio , At Philadelphia I received n
dispatch stating that thu matter would ba
lixud at Now York , where , with him , I went.
I found Mr. Klkinn , who seemed to know
nothing and would do nothing. H looked us if
wo had been fooled. It places mo in position
where I would not have been placed for n
union larger amount. Whatever St. John has
douo since , we got the benefit of his absence
and the usoof his friends affirmatively in Ohio
and that under my promise. For tbe sake nt
m/ good faith to him as well ns the result In
the tuturo if Mr. lilnina is elected ,
as J. hspo ho will bo , I want
you before you close the committee work to
be enabled to make good my promise made
under the circumstances ; tlio party having
profited by its results. It is n promise that I
made and Riiarantoul. It should ho fulfilled ,
and it shall bo if 1 am compelled to bell the
louse that nhelters my vlfo nnd chil-
ren. Everybody hero is anxious about
Vew York , and at Major Smlthson'a
cquest 1 have tglrgraphed. It la ns I sup-
losed it was , too late to accomplish any good ,
> ut It is not too laoe to make good a promise ,
U your leisure lot me hoar from you ,
[ Signed. ] Yours truly ,

To this letti-r Mr , Olarkson saya
10 made no reply , as ho had
at no time madn any promlui tn pay St. John
