Election In Nebraska.

T he agony is over. The election went
off on Tue, day last in an unusually quiet
manner. On the north side Of the Platte
there was no opposition to the regular
ticket a, each precinct. Gidd'ng', the
Benton fusion candidate is doubtless cleo
ted to Congress over Johnson. This was
occa stoned by the fact that the people oil
BeIleview voted agains. their own inter.

candidate, There are men. who will be
held accountable for this result. We
have no, heard the result of the election

Foreign Military Companies,

One of the modes IN which our allen-
born citizens render their attachment to
American institutions most suspected, is
their exclusive organization into Military
Companies, with foreign names, aud offici-
cered by men not native-born. 1t is not
objected that they form social or benevo-
lent associations to keep alive the personal
affections which bind them to friends and
Keep up family tics with their father
land, although those nay be too fer pur-
sued, and too long kept up. But when
they form MILITARY combinations, as
suredly they Do that which Is not necessary,
and which tends to excite jealousy in the
bosoms of our people, who are watchtuI
against any open or secret movement tend
ing to weaken our republican nationality
The recent American awakening has
had its effect upon this evil The now
Governor of Massachusetts as Commander
in Chiefhas disbanded setca Military Com
panies composed mostly or wholly of For
cigners, and commanded them to re-
turn their arms, which has been done by
all but one, a Capt Butler, Of Lowell, who
has refused, and designs to test the consti-
tutionality Of the requirement before the
Court.
In Pennsylvania the same sore has been
touched. In June last, Col Small, was
elected General, and Major Pugh, Inspec-
tor, of the ID Brigade, Penn Volunteers.
A court Of Inquiry was held, and those
officers thrown out, leaving the Brigade in
command Of Irishmen. \ special election
was ordered b. Gov. Big'cr, to take place
last Monday. The first official act of Gov
Pollock, on Thursday last, was to annul
the order for a new election, and reinstate
Small and Pugh in command. An elec.
ton was held, however, and two men where
chosen, but who will commission men
chosen in defiance Of the orders Of the
Commander-in-Chief, "remains to be
seen" Gov. Pollock deemed the act Of
the Court Martial fagrant outrage but
choosing officers as this has done is piece
Of foreign impudencc unparalleled even by
themselves.
