18th ult, that the closing scenes of the Legislature
OF Nebraska Territory were very exciting. The
popular voice had charged several members with
corruption with respect to their votes on the pas

Governor vetoed six charters 70 obtained. A crowd
oflrioters Iunued TIL Numbers accused to the ofice
ofithe Territorial Secretary. and, disregarding all
form of,an investigating committee, attempted to
infict personal chastisement one legislator. He
threatened to shoot with a revolver in reply when
the. Secretary turned the whole batch into the
street. Here the suspected members ran of and
concealed themselves. The legislative session would
close on the 18th of February. The Governor was
completely bewildered by these occurrences.
