This after noon bot1 braDches of the Nebraska
Legislature succeeded IN efecrng a permanent Or
ganization. The Councillor what is termed in
most of the States the Seuate-efected an organza-
tion without trouble in short time; but the House,
by far the largest body, tackled and beat around
the shoals of parliamentary usage sometime before
it reached the harbor j. Gibbs, merly of Ohio,
was elected Speaker of the House; j. Brown First
Clerk and s. Currin, Second Clerk l.. L. Bowen, for
merly of Ohio, was elected President of the Council;
o. F. Lake First Clerk, and 8. H. ,binson Second
Clerk.
The Legislature meets this sinter in q new and
creditable brick building put up during the last sea-
son here by two enterprising mechanics and rented
for that purpose by the Secretary, T B. Cunning.
Next winter 1t is anticipates the legislature will be
able to meet in the new Capitol building here, now
by the way. only about half done.
The members from this loo al IN. who we're elected
upon purely local issues and pied to local inter
ests, in the organization were decidedly nowhere.
and l presume, from present Indie atoms, they will
remain in the abstract during the whole ses-
sion, particularly upon leading questions. The
opposition 0utnumbers them nearly Or about two to
one. This bas reference co the House. In the
Council il is not 80 bad 90 Considerable apprehension
is entertained that cps will bs taken to the

now. Tomorrow ferennHn the Governors message
will be delivered, concerning with more anon.
Much anxiety is manifested ing the actual set
tiers here concerning the Pacific Rtroaf bill now
before Congress. There l. n strong and well ground

posed or "a we nov understand IL here 1t will be
disastrous blow TO thriving aud prosperous Ter
ritory. 1t is true, Pacific Rsilroad would benefit
the Territories and nc county, out not one OF this
class. There is really but little good country ia Ne.
