The DOings of the Legislature
theeIast week.

On account of stormy weather, we have
had no mail communication from Omaha
for the last week up to Saturday night.
We learn by one of our citizens, who
Just returned from there, that much bust
ness was done last week in both branches
of the Legislature. Speaker Gibbs, of
the Lower House, has been very i'll for
the last week, so much so, that he has
been unable to attend the session O. the
House, and on Tuesday S. A. Strickland.
of this place, was chosen Speaker, pro
tenn. Among the most important bills
passed both Houses, is the n for the
erection Of a new country from the South
ern Election District of Douglas county.
This is a measure the people Of this Dis.
trict have struggled hard for for the last
three years, and thanks to the unlinch-
ing, uncompromising and urgent steady
pursuit Of this result by the Delegation
from this District, we have at last Sc
cured in this what the great majority o
our people so long, so much and earnestly
wished, Whatever may be said Of TIM
Legislature, or the majority party tina
have acted together for the common goa
of the Territory, this is due them, to say
that in regard to this particular measure
they have shown a degree of equal ant
even-handed justice which will not b
easily forgotten by the citizens of the new
county of SARrY. But, says the reader
you write too fast; has the Gov. signe
the Bill? 1t is not our purpose to enqwr
whether he has or will. 1t is enough 70
us to know that, by a large and emPhati
majority, the Legislature have had tn
patriotism and the wisdom to pass tn
Bill, believing, as they did, it was in an
of itself a principle of justice and righ'

Of town spectators will hardly be able to
avert It's course, Already two powerful
Railroad Companies are pushing their
works across Iowa, and their roads con-
verge towards this point as they approach
the Missouri river. Those roads arr
soon to be built, and it is almost certain
that both of them will establish their
Western terminus directly opposite Belle
vue, and that they will unite in the con.
struclion Of the Pacific Road from Belle
vuc westward along the north side Of the
Platte valley. Why Because ii is by
far the cheapest and most economical
route. Because il is the most convenient
route for the two roads to unite upon.
Because it is the only natural route. Be
cause at Bellevue the Missouri has n
narrow, mchangedbh channel, with most
" q rock bottom and a rock-bound shore.
Because there is plenty Of rock and tim
Der for all the purposes of foundation aud
superstructure hat might be wanted to
build the road. No other route possesses
the half of these advantages. Bellevue
being opposite the western tcrminui of
the two Railroads across Iowa, and being
the eastern terminus of the great Pacific
Railroad along the Platte valley, it would
be impossible to calculate her future. She
would o~utstrip most cities, aud rival Chi
cago, ST. Louis and San Francisco in
rapidly Of growth. The fuel for thou
sands of fires can be supplied from coal
mines already discovered in the immedi-
ate neighborhood. Sagacious and dis
Greet capitalists are anxious to invest their
money here, and the public are beginning
to perceive the advantages of the location.
Large numbers have made their arrange.
ments to settle here in the spring. Build.
ing will be carried on extensively with
stone and brick, as well as wood. The
busy note of preparation is going on
We have already two of the largest ant

ON TUESDAY, the 18th Of Jan, both
wires Of the House Telegraph Line Of
New York were broken at the same time
between New York and Providence, yet
the line worked well, aud their business
was transmitted without interruption. The
lower wire broke first, and one end crossed
the upper wire. Shortly after the upper
wire was broken, and the end crossed the
lower wirc-thus making a circuit, though
both wires were broken. Such a combi-
nation seldom occurs, and is worthy of
note as a curiosity in tclegraphing.

The gentleman whose name stands at
the head of this article, is one of the pio-
necrs of Nebraska. 1t is now over two
years since he became a resident of our
Territory, and during that time he has
maintained the character of an honorable
gentleman, making friends and winning
confidence wherever he became known.
Courteous i'll his manners, and scrupu-
lousy exact in his business habits, he
seems peculiarly fitted for the duties of
the office to which he was appointed by
President Picrce-that of Receiver Of
the Land Office. We think no better
appointment could have been made. The
late attack upon his character was as un-
Just as it certainly was unexpected and
it seems to meet with the fate which it
deserved. 1t is discountenanced by every
fair-minded man, and the charges could
be diSproyed BY hundreds of his fellow
citizens. Col. GrLMoRE's character can
not suffer, though his feelings may have
been wounded b. the unfuunded aslcr-
sions of those who seek to injure his fair
fame. 1t has shown him that, while he
has a few enemies residing out of the
Territory, he is surrounded by "troops of
friends" at home who can appreciate his
