In the Council, a Select Committee has
been appointed to act in connection with
a similar from the House, to enquire
into all the particulars relative to, the Ca
pitol building, and report 4
The building being as i is the proper
ty bf the general government, its own
fdnds spent in the erection, and Under
control Of its W disbursing agent, l
doubt the righto of the Assembly to demand
such information Yet | have no doubt
Governor Cunning will furnish all in his
power.
l'L-LrE GfLfIfFE FITET. IF
A Select Committee has also been APP
pointed to enquire into the condition of
all Banks in the Territory and reports
Here arises another question of doubt
Provided the suspended Banks have yiO-
lated their charters, are they subjects Of
the Legislative Assembly or of the Courts?
The Legislature may throw around, not
only the suspended Banks, but those in
active operation, such restrictions as TO
virtually kill them. To arrive at what is
for the general good under all circum-
stances, requires thought, truly. We
hope what is done may be for the good of
the peopIe-that they may be protected,
u. ..L.".E N. UL 49,
if we are to have paper currency. With
our suspended Banks we have no sympa-
thy whatever, neither do we feel like
striking down those that have sustained
themselves.
Bill has also been introduced provide
ing for the formation of a Territorial
Board Of Agriculture. 1t is the same
bill introduced last session, but which was
lost ''amid the rubbish" in the House. Il
is an important bill to every locality in
the Territory. Everything that can be
done TO encourage agriculture should be
looked after. In this connection another
important bill has also been introduced
viz: a bill providing for the encourage.
ment of the growth Of Hedge Fencing.
A Bill to amend the charter of Nema.
ha City and another to incorporate the
Nemaha City Hydraulic Company, have
been introduced and passed their second
reading in the Council.

Omaha, Dec. 9, 1857.

Thinking a few notes Of passing
events" at the capital would interest
your readers, 1 drop you a line.
There ssems to exist among members
a much better feeling than usual. How
long it may remain so is difficult to say.
The organization Of both Houses took
place after a few c~aucuses, and, as you
are doubtless aware ere this, resulted in
the election of DR.. G.. L. MILLER of
Omaha, President of the Council, and J..
H. DECKER, Esq, Of Nebraska City,
Speaker of the House. Both are liberal,
high-minded gentlemen of conservative
views upon the conflicting questions of
the Territory.
The Capitol question may be brought
up before the close of the session. If a
Bill for the relocation of the Capitol can
succeed, it can only do so by removing
it to the interior. The most prominent
poim talked of at present is Columbus,
Platte county, on the Loup Fork. That
this place possesses more natural advan-
tages perhaps than that of any interior
point, the well informed will readily ad-
NIT. Its geographically in the centre
of the Territory, and is one of the most
fertile portions of Nebraska; is in the
Platte Valley, at the junction of the Loup
and Platte rivers. Being in the imme-
date vicinity Of the Platte, Loup Fork,
and Shell creek, excellent timber of vari-
GUS qualities prevail in the greatestabun-
dance, together with any amount of good
stone. 1t is Immediately on the Military
Road to California is about midway be-
tween the Missouri river and New Fort
Kearney. The country around is already
rapidly filling up and is capable of sus-
tanning perhaps a heavier population than
any other inland point in the Territory.
The weather Is quite mild for the sea-
son of year. The current of the river is
perfectly clear, no floating ice even.
Nothing of importance yet being fairly
before the Legislature, news is some
what meagre. More anon. s..afe n b
