This first Legislative Assembly Of Nebraska decidedly
an interesting body. About every Of them are to
greater or less extent interested in town Sites which in
these latter days have sprung like mushrooms into
existence and the effect becomes manifest almost every
day now. The lie and Odd he," have become Of
such frequent usage that there's not the slightest
danger. 1t would astonish gentlemen Of even the Or
binary school. IT'S no common occurrence to see the
Speaker Of the House nduging in vituperaton, which
cannot say is characteristic Of the worst class OF
frontier The location Of county seats, and the
strong local feeling pertaining thereto is now the order
Of the day.
Our highly popular Governor-M. w. lizard bids
fair to add dignity and honesty to his official acts
which will strongly contrast with that pursued by
acting Governor, whom general report throughout
the Territory says should be removed from the
Office OF Secretary of the Territory. It is natural for
men, however, to look out for No l, and he has doubt
less done 1t In his short administration. The people
the honest portion Of the seters-would not grieve
were he to be removed Immediately. His policy has
been Characteristic. He had assembled around him
few special toades, who knowing his supreme autho
their part upon the principle Of "cog eat dog and
long he held the power willing to back any and
petty pecuniary political which his pa
tronage could easily bestow. Nearly every spe-
ces OF patronage he could bestow has been given in
this before present Governor reached the
Territory But his special friends say he Is an honor
able man."
