/ II is announced in the official organ
that Gen. Butler has declined the govern
orship Of Nebraska. Hon Jno M'Keene
has been appointed and confirmed by the
Senate to the Office Of District Attorney,
in place Of Mr.. Chas. OConner.
In the Senate, Thursday, the discussion
Oh the Homestead bill, was continued.
Upon the reception of what was believed
to be the Japan treaty, the Senate went
into executive session.
The Homestead bill was taken up, and
Mr.. Claytono' notion to strike out the 9th
section, which places aliens and native
born citizens on the same footing, as re-
CARDS the benefits of the bill, was rejected
by vote of l9 to 20
MIR. Stewart proposed substitute,
which extends the privileges Of the bill to
all persons who by state laws are entitled
to hold lands, and fixes the price to be paid
by persons seeking the benefit of the act,
after possession and cultivation for FIVE
years at % cts per acre. 1t also provides
that Tor lands, certain time in market
IL l-2cts an acre shall be charged, accor-
! ding to the time the land has been in mar
ket and it moreover allows the states in
which the lands lie to take it at graduated
prices for railroad purposes. Other amend
ments were offered.
The debate on the merits of the propo-
sltion was interrupted by Mr.. Wade, who
succeeded in getting up personal contro-
versy with Mr.Clayton, in regard to lam
guage used some days previous.
The motion to reconsider the vote,
whereby the Pacific Telegraph Bill passad,
was rejected, as was also that providing
for the printing of the Nebraska act.
AT latest advices after much discussion
the Homestead law had not passed.

Lines On the Death Of INV Father.

BY CLARA DEYoUSG.
Dearest Father thou hast left us
We no more may hear thy voice;
God Almighty has bereft US,
We should not murmur at his choice
Beloved Father thou art gone
Thee, earth no more wen see
Here thy loss we deeply mourn
But thee, in Heaven, we hope to see
Though the stroke to US was sudden,
We will try and grieve no more
And the thought to glad one,
That all thy earthly pains are DER
Yet we hope that thy dear eve,
Will look down from Heaven above
To warn us when there's danger nigh,
And tell us that we've yet thy love
And when it pleases God to call,
When his angel shall say come,
May we be united one in all,
And welcome beloved Father in his Heavenly Home

1t is impossible to come at the truth From

were Cavalry. They demand the dismissal of
