[ Special to Tun Uni : . | The Bonnie has settled down to husl- ffcss In dolid earnest , und the word now Is "ru h. " The closiBR days of the session bring a crowd of visitors , and there Is nl- ready n respectable frlngo of thai kind hang- lilfT In the senate. Some of thcso gentlemen nro anxious about the fate of sundry meas ures in wilch : they are Interested : others nro simply improving the few1 remaining op- ] > ortunitlcs to look in on the legislature In . , The first thing the senate did this moraine wis to concur In the house resolution in- dorsmc Speaker Watson for the assistant attorney generalship. It then turned Its at tention to hills recommended for pnssajjo In committee of the wliolo yesterday , and passed tlio following : Norval's bill changing the annual school meeting to Juno ; Tugpart's ' bill Increasing the board of education In cities of 8,000 to 00,000 from six members to nine , and doing away with the necessity of n petition before voting bonds ; also the bill defining the Juris diction of the courts over stolen uropcrty when removed from the place of theft ; Son- ntor Conner's constitutional amendment to empower nine Jurors to find u verdict In civil cases In the district court WHS de feated.

AFTr.UNOOX SESSION. Senator Church Howe reported the Omaha charter bill Immediately after dinner , and moved that it bo ordered engrossed for a third reading , which was done without readIng - Ing the bill or sending it to committee of the w hole. Ransom's bill for taxing insurance com panics on their gross business was killed without a murmur of opposition. The committee of the whole discussed Brink's ' house bill empowering county boards to levy n tax of tlirco-tenths of n mill for a soldiers' relief commission. Senators Church Howe , IJams , Beardsloy , Nosbitt , Lindsay and Norval championed the measure. liowe said President Lincoln had set the key note when ho said union soldiers stiouhl have preference in the distribution of ofllccs. Keckley Oh , wo all agree on that. Howe Yes , but there are not enough ofllccs to go around. Yon and I arc drawing $5 a day , but many of the other fellows have not been able to got there. Kcckloy I do not believe the old soldiers have asked for this measure. I stand up hero as an old soldier myself to protest against It. It Is a schema of the politicians to make political capital out of the old sol diers. I am sick of this mock sentimentality Senator Norval read u letter asktngOiim to get transportation over the B. & M. for the wlfo and children of an old soldier to show that the vct6rans were not above want. Howe Did you got the transportation ! Norval I Just got the letter. Howe Amend it nnd make it M. P. and I'll see that you get'tho transportation.

A motion to postpone the last named bad only four votes. Lindsay and Norval questioned its consti tutionality , and Norval tried to get in an amendment exempting counties with over 1,200 square miles of territory , but was 'de- featcu. Nesbitt nnd Ransom supported the bill. House. LINCOLN , Neb. , March 14. | Special to TnuBBE. I A telegram was received from Washington announcing that the name of { Speaker Watson was being urged for the position of first assistant attorney general , and a resolution introduced by Cadyvas adopted Instructing the Nebraska delegation to do all In their power to secure the appoint ment.

A bill Introduced on the recommendation of the irovornor , prescribing the manner by which foreign corporations may incorporate under the laws of Nebraska , was ordered to u third reading. The bill simply provides that they shall lllo tholr articles of incorpo ration , duly attested with tbo secretary of state , and observe a few other preliminaries. Much time was consumed in wrangling over the nrecodunco. of bills , and without taking final action on any measures or going into committee of the whole , the house ad journed. AFTEIIXOON SESSION.

Tlio Anti-Trim Dclccatcn. LINCOLN , Neb. , March 14 , [ Special Tele gram to Tun BEE. ] Senators Raymond und Cornell and Uopresontalives Towlo and .Sweet returned to night from St. Louis. Mr. Towlo says : "My conclusions nro that t there wus no evidence of a trusl , and if a Irusl cxisls there wus no evidence that It la doing harm. It became clear to my mind that tlio agllalion was in Iho interest of the few who raise cattle , and that the thousands of consumers were not considered. I don't t think anythlng'elToctlvo was accomplished. " > Senator Cornell says : "Tho trend of tbo arguments wus towards Inspection on the hoof , but I heard nothing to show that It would benefit the farmer. On the oilier hand , ll would increase thu cost to the con sumer. There Is no probability llmt Ne braska will have such an Inspection law soon. This legislature's sentiment Is clearly uguiust it.

It provides : "Tbo annual school meeting of each school district shall bo held at the school house if llicru bo one , or at some other suitable ) place within the district , on Iho last Monday of Juno of each year.

Hall claimed that the bill would reduce the num ber In Lancaster county but finally discov ered that ho was mistaken. The senate killed Weber's bill providing for listing railroad property for .taxation by Indefinite postponement. The railroad crowd took advantage of the absence of Raymond , Connor nnd Kojkloy , who were favorable to the bill , and , calling Pickoti , .who likewise supported thu ilioasurc , 'to the chair , they indefinitely postponed Iho measure wilhout protest.

Like all pieces of the kind which have of lalo years originated across tbo water , It contains a number of highly realis tic , or greatly exaggerated scenes. Some of both of these classes are now to the average auditor. Thcro Is a rum scene ; a scene In a mad-house , which illustrates the barbarism of Iho proprietors of sotnu of these dons In the old country ; a full-rigged ship at sea ; a rescue In mid-ocean , and a balloon ascension.

Now Unit the ropubli- cnn party hns again got control of af- fnlrs , It is'thoir duty to looic nftor the lost of republican voters in the south who nro subjected to the most cruel nnd nhuman treatment , simply because they dnro assort .themselves ropubli- cnns. White men , as well ns negroes , nro shot down like briltos to mnintaln democratic supremacy. Democratic papers openly advocate murder , rapine nnd thievery , thnt the saintly demo cratic party can always direct af fairs. Thousands of negroes hnvo boon butoYiored and nro still beIng - Ing butchered without the semblance of law ; that the dark deeds of the party of secession , and rebellion may bo hid den from the loyal people of the north. The south Is kept solid by n violation of tlio rights gun'ranteed the blacks by the state and national constitution. A re publican form of government does not exist in the southand tho.matter should receive the prompt attention of the Fifty-first congress , nnd measures taken to eradicate the evil or n fate such as that of Colonel'Clayton , in Arkansas , a few weeks since , will befall every i-o- publicuti candidate for nny ollice of im portance to which.be may aspire. , . Democrats harp that ' 'negro rulo'1 is what they fear. This is why so many holl-blaelc deeds have been , and are still being committed , to keep the south solid. There is no danger from this quarter nny moro han there is of the moon exploding for-sovoral seasons. First , because of the negro condition financially and educationally. The negro iri thcf' soUth is busy acquiring educationinnd" ' the "wherewith" , whereby he pan bo recognized as n sub- titan lial citizp'nj. Secondly , thu > negro doesn't think-his numerical strOhgth should bo n reason advanced by lift enemies as a desire to rule. With'vtfto present nrrangoment of affairs , how'could ' ho rulolf ho had a mind to ddspJ * The white men of the south in sovoal , ; respects are far below the negro. I have some respect for the bulldozer , bebauso I am somewhat of a bulldozer myself , but I abhor athief. . The average * "sputhorn democrat' is n thief wh n it comes to political affairs. To sitqj. , votes andballot-boxes , ' is just as bad-i'stealing ( { dry goods and cattle from a'juoighbor. Again sentiment .has much to dp with1 publicalTairs'hence It is a poto'n't factor as to gdvorn.mont. If sentiment is against him as a'raco as to the man agement of affairs , it is not against his party , so ho doesn't seek to rule as a race , but ho does seek to rule as a republican , and wants his .ballot counted for that party as cast whether it be for a white or colored republican ; nnd in this * right ho demands protection under ' the con stitution of this government. The negro can advance many reasons for being a republican , but not ono for being a democrat. The "southern problem" cannot ho solved by the south ern people by reason of their incom- petcncy and prejudice. It must 'bo ' solved by the loyal people of the north ; "peaceably if they can , and forcibly if they must. " The south is an inviting field. If it could bo civilixod as regards thievery , rapine and murder , it would receive the attention of northern cap italists , who would shower their money upon the infant industries and fertile lands and cause the whole section to change from a hell into as respectable a place as Maine or Now Hampshire. With their farms plnstorcd with mort gages and labor unsettled owinc lo so many deeds of midnight outrages they can never do it. TO OPEN UP BrtAZIti. A. Company WJtli Ono Hundred Mil lion of Dollars liaoi : of It. William H. Barclay , the pension agent of the Pittsburg district , who re cently cumo into prominence as the holder of n .lottery ticket which drew $75.000. is the member of n company which has scoured a grant of 'botwopn 50,000 nnd 00,000 square miles of land in Brazil. Mr. Barclay says the men who control the franchise , granted by Emperor Dom Pedro , nro Now York capitalists , who jointly represent nearly ono hundred million of dollars. Mr. Barclay says the land grant is ono- third larger than the state of Pennsyl vania , nnd .is inland from the Atlantic coast some throe hundred miles , and about the snmo distance , or a little moro south , from the Amazon" . It is the design of the company to open up the entire territory to settlers , the inten tion being to sell lands at exceedingly low rates , oven cheaper than this gov ernment does , and to encourage immi gration in vnrloiiB ways. As for pre cious inotals , Mr1. Barclay says they are there in abundance , but that there will bo no nttdmpt to , , develop thorn tit pres ent.

"Johnny was always a good boy , nnd never gaVe mo a saucy word in his life. " liut Johnny did hear the words his mother spoke to the reporter , who stood with uncovered - covered head at the coftln nlilo. Ho was n newsboy just such a ono as you brush past dally , nnd won't oven give a pleasant word , when you can't nfforil n nicklo to buy n paper. You may have scon him many n tiuio nt the nost- onico , but you wouldn't have known him last nluht as ho lay with his crossed hands and closed eyes at his old home , 411 North Eleventh street. Johnnie's work Is done , anil it scorned from the quiet look on the still whlto face that ho was glad It all was over. How well ho hail done it , ho loft for the bo.vs ho sn oftun bc/rcmled. to say. The body lay hi the front room of tun coltape , where the wax candles at the head t la row Into the shailo a sofa at the foot on which wasTsurlod up Ins llttlo brother , who had cried himself asleep , ills widowed stop mother sat hcsldo it , nnd arouuit were the friends who had couio to sympathize with nor in her grief , while/ prominent among the mourners were his newsboy frlonds. Tlioro wcro many of them there , nnd there wus no mistaking the genuineness of their grief , as they took each opportunity to take another lee ! : at tholr dead comrade. "You tell him , " whispered ono as the reporter - porter listened to hear how Johnnie died , and one of thorn came up. "You put in this , " ho said. "Johnny Mc- Cun.n was general agent for all the news boys in the city. They used to sell the. .papers for him. Ho was general for.tliom all In the town,1' and the reporter put it dowm "Was ho a'.good friend to the boys ! " ho asked. "Yes , ho was. Ho stood by any of them that hadn't the money , and fixed up lots of thcm.thnt got broke. Ho was always a good friend to the boys. " "And put this In : Ho won the prize TUB Bin : gave for selling the most papers In 18S7. It was a gold watch , nnd ho won it , " said another , und then his little sister came up. "Ho always gave mo anything I asked him for , " she said as she turned away from n look at the coftln. "Say that I'm a thousand times obliged to the hoys and to the ofllccs for the respect they've showed Johnny , " said his mother , hut ho deserves it all , for ho was always a good boy to mo. " And then the reporter left. As ho did u half a dozen of the newsboys followed him nnd grasped his hand , "Now you do this up riiflit , " ho suid , "for if you don't we'll boycott the paper , and If you do' we'll know you again. " Johnny McCunn was the best known news boy In Omaha. Years ago ho fell from a swinu and injured his back to such an extent that ho boca-mo deformed , und for the last few years was almost constantly in pMn. Ho found time to earn an honest livmg.-and nt the same tinlO extend n helping hand to boys thnfrworo struggling uiong like hinisoif. Ho played no favorites among them , but helped those who needed Help , and no higher respect could ho paid to his memory than the grief of the boye who sat around his coflln through the lonely hours last night. Since last July ho had been living on Dodge street with some of his comrades , but yesterday his body was removed to his former homo.

Little Elsie Leslie Lydo. whom all Now York children envy and adore as Little Lord Fontloroy , and who is as much of a child as any ono of them , des pite she Is so clover an aciross. lives uptown in a pretty , sunny fiat with her mother. She leaps , when away from the theater , the simplest and quietest sort of existence , with her dolls her childish books and her writing , for slio is at present engaged upon what is said to bo the most fnscinating of novels to bo published in St. Nicholas as soon as it is finished. Her mother permits her to spend a good deal of time reading and writing because in consideration of the hard work she does in public the doctors have advised that Elsie should not bo nmdo to study ; and , strange as it may seem in so preternaturally clover a young person , Little Lord Fontloroy is decidedly shaky in her spelling , and says plaintively that all her writing "refuses to btay on the line and just to boggans all upnml down the pugo. " So , since she is not allowed to study , her mother is allowing her to educate herself with books and her writing , which includes articles for the maga- viinos and the keeping of a diary in which she records everything that seems to bo worth remembering.

Last week ho killed a mountain lion , which measured nine fcot and four inches in length , and the hide has just been brought to the city and is on exhibition at Vogelsang's. A great deal of trouble on account of coyotes has boon exper ienced at the Wostor ranch. Several traps were set for the creatures , and the next morning ono of them was miss ing , and the snow showed that it had boon dragged away by some animal that had boon caught in it. Mr. Wos- tor's son followed the bloody trail , and boon cumo upon a mountain lion. Both the fore foot of the animal had been caught in the trap , and ono foot had boon completely cut oil by it. Infuriated by pain the animal sprang at the boy , but ho stood his ground without filnch- ing , and throwing the rlflo which ho carried to hiu shoulder , blazed away at the boast with fatal effect. .Moral Logic.

Mrs. Amelia Rivcs-Chnnler - has com pleted her novel and loaves on one of the French steamers to join Mr. Amolio- Rlvcs-Clmnlor , who has boon in Paris for several months. The necessities of literature havo. made their purling longer than wns anticipated. Origi nally their plans were to go abroad very soon after their marriage and re main some years , Mrs. Chanlor to abandon literature for a snaeo and de vote herself to art. But the editors of Lippincott persuaded her into signing a contract for u now novel , and she un dertook to fill this before leaving Amer ica. She found , after an attempt to write in Now York and at Newport that her ideas would only How in her own room in Virginia , and the Chanlor * promptly vanished into the wilds , where they remained for some time , while slm endeavored not only to keep the Lippincott contract , but undertook a good deal of other work besides. Mr. Chanlor bore the Virginia exile with exemplary patience for several months , but while his wife wns plunged up to her elbows in ink ho had nothing to amuse him , and it was dually agreed ho should go to Paris and await her there , and ho departed. Since then Mrs. Chanlcr lias lived in an atmos phere of paper and pens , and has cor rected yards of proofs and has kept edi tors scurrying back and .forth to consult with her. Ten."days ago the last proof' was corrected and the "Witness of the Sun" was finally turned over to the editors ' tors of the mag'azine , to bo published in the April number , just ono year from the appearance of the "Quick or the Dead. " Since then the autoress has been rusting after her labors , and next week she will cross the ocean to moot her amiable young husband , and pre sumably to' carry out the art pro gramme originally laid down. Only 81,000 was paid for the "Quick or the Dead , " and as the manuscript was bought outright. Mrs. Chanlcr has had no percentage of the large sums made by the sale of the book : but it is need less to say she has thoroughly learned her own value since. In the book world it is said that she gets for this forthcoming novel $ .5,000 down and a percentage of 10 cents on every bound copy of the book that is bold. The hus band hjit an income of something like $20,000 , but his wife has earned with her pen the last twelve months $112,000 more , so that the young couple may bo considered fairly prosperous.

Two flashily dressed youths entered a Sixth avenue olovatcd car at Thirty- third street Saturday night , says the New York World , and proceeded in a very deliberate manner to spread them selves on the two double cross beats. The theaters wcro just out and the car filled rapidly. At Eighth street a gentleman and lady entered the car and looked vainly for scats. The gentleman - tloman finally stopped before the cross- scat and made a sign that ho would like to sit there. The "chappies" did not take the hint. The gentleman then touched ono of them on the shoulder ami Ublced him to remove his foot from the beat. The follow blared impudently for a moment and then , turning lo his companion , said : "Shall wo lot them bit downV" There was no time for nn answer , for a big blackthorn stick in the gentleman's hand Instantly descended heavily on the shins of the dudes.
