OMAHA CITY, n. T., Jan. II, 1871.
The functions of the Nebraskan Council are still
suspended, and councillors gracOusy smile in the
fruiton of countless whisky-punches aud apple
toddes and great is the compromising tendency
thereof Tomorrow, properly recuperated aud ar
denhy stimulated TO patriotic effort they viii again
nut their shoulders to the wheels of legislation and
roll on the car and ever so many logs together.
Not however so calmly, if indeed so virtuOusly,
proceeds the other House. In that body, IN the al
ternoon of day before yesterday, the august Repre-
sentatiyes of Omaha citizens and their beltgerent
opposers had very tigerly setto 1t was under
stood that the Council bill for removing the capital
was to come up soon little preliminary
measure was attended to- BY one of the standing
rules of the House the Speaker could not vote I'M
less his Ave or No would make a tie. Nov it so
happens that it is expected that if the Capital bill
passes into law, il will be by virtue of twOthird
vote over the Governors yetO and that III order 10
carry it thus in the House the Speakers vote is
necessary. So then the resembling of that rule be-
came measure of no small Importance. The
question was upon Its rescissiOn. Mr.. HanscOmb
of Omaha City entered the lists against the common
enemy of that virtuous city, and tried on variety
of proper and improper parliamentary tactics.
High words and hard words ensued on the floor OF
that House. AT leHgth, driven 10 the last resort
of the modern style OF legislation inaugurated BY
Young America, MIR. H. assailed the Speaker with
TRADE of personality and abuse. The Speaker
called Mr.. H. to order, but he declined 10 come.
The Speaker ordered Mr.. Fl. to take his seat; but
Mr.. H. refused, and bid defiance. The Speaker
ordered the Serteant-at-Am to take Mr.. ii. into
custody. The Sereeant-at.Arms advanced toward
the bellicose Mr. ii. with the evident intention of
doing something. Mr.. H. showed his ivory and
the handle of an instrument well known on the bor-
der and generally used for the purpose of making
pertoraious and punctures. The Sergeant-at
Arms east IN imploring look at the Speaker, who,
relentless fate, stood upon his dignity, aud
peated his order Of arrest. Mr.. Ii. dared the
whole crew to lay hand upon him. The lobby
applauded, and the Speaker gently insinuitcd that
of the lobby. Better try it !" was the response,
and pemell rash was made by the outsiders
toward the inside track" The railing was
broken, and the Infatuated Omahas were already
tapping blood imaginaiyely, when a discreet
member of the majority put all end to the scene by
successful motion 70 adjourn till , D. III. to-day.
The majority of both Houses have drawn up and
presented to tae Governor a statement of their
grievances and fears, and humbly claim of that
functiOnsry the interpOsitiOn of his "arm mighty
10 save What the result will be- mortal cannot
predict. That there is blood in the veins of both
parties cannot be dOubted-whether any will be
" let, time " ii tel.

edihcation. That il is an Incompatible document.
