Trouble IN NEBRASKA-Ihe Territorial Leg
islature of Nebraska is in session, and appears
to be Il strange scene ofdisorder. 1t appears that
a majority of the Legislature Is bent on remov-
ing the capital from Omaha to some other point
on account of the interference OF mobs OF people
from Iowa in the Territorial business.
The Council, or Upper House, passed bill
authorizing the removal, but the House was I'M
able to reach vote on the question on account
of the factiouS opposition OF the minority ana
the riOtous conduct of the mob OF persons
thronging the lobby, mostly rom Council Bluffs,
Iowa, who cheer their friends and hiss and sroan
their opponents. Council Bluffs and Omaha are
both town sites owned by the same company OF
spectators, who also own the ferry aud are en-
lowed with the gift of Government lands. The
organization of the Territory has proved such q
good thing for them that they cannot bear the
prospect OF the capital being removed TO some
other point. To such an extent is the attempt
to overawe the Legislature carried that the
House of Representatives petitioned the Cover
nor tor sufficient military force to protect their
persons from violence.
Ii is thought that the removal will pass both
Houses by the requisite majority of two third,
over the Governors veto. To make this two
thirds majority, in the House the vote OF the
Speaeer was necessary, but, under the rules O
the House, he could only vote in case of tie
To rescind the rule was, therefore the policy
of the majority would have been and il
effected but tor the determined opposition OF th'
representatives of Omaha which prevented &C
ton. At length one OF these representatives a
buSed the Speaker personally, and refused t.
take his seat; whereupOn the Speaker ordered
the Sergeant-at- Arms 10 take him into custody
The member, a Mr. uanscomb, detied him to dc
so, aud significantly put his hand upon bowie
knife. The Sergeant-at-Nrms paused, whereup
on the Speaker repeated the order. HanScomt
dared the majority to lay hands on him, and th'
lobby applauded. The Speaker intimated that
unless this were stopped, it would be necessary
to clear the Hobbies. The mob responded, "Bet
ter try it, and making u rush, broke down tn
railing and forced the House to adjourn. 1t wa
this event which caused the House to petition
the Governor for protection. 1t is strang
state OF affairs.-PhU AmericaR.

POETRY OF AN EX-PRESIDENT.

In the two volumes of Webster's Letters, recently
pnbished appear samples of his poetioal talent,
which are nearly a. good as the verses handed down
to rs "a Ccero's. Edmund Burke, when youth,
wrote lines quite equal to those produced by Thomp
son Goldsmith at the same age. John Quincy
Adams wrote poetry occasionally TO very late Pc
Rod in hte He is not the only of our Presidents
who have entertained their leisure with sorting sya.
b-s and matching rhymes. John Tyler is said to be
a. much at home in poetry as in pOt9fa and in order
that our readers may have an opportunity OF know
Ing this, we publish the following lines addressed to
Long Island lady, at season when only the very ear.
i.st and hardest flowers make their appearance 10
northern ATTITUDES, while in Virgiaia-at least in the
more southern parts ofit-he rosetrees in bloom:
Come. Nv to the South from your island Of snow,
The North is too cold for q soul such as thine;
No roses bloom there to adorn thy fair brow,
Though born in those deep auburn tresses to shine.
Then a to the South where Japonicas bloom.
And enamel the grove with their beautiful flowers;
Or, come and inhale their delicious perfume.
Arising from natures own mystical bowers.
Oh, come to the South, where the mock bird all night
Pours forth from the treetop its rapturous strain,
Which rises and falls in the moons mellow light,
Like the song OF the mermaid far over the main.
Why stay in the North where the winters cold frowu
Still fingers in ice on the lap Of sweet May7
Oh, haste to the South, where sweet flowers have
blown,
And the ri!l long upfettered glidcs laughing away
