subject mootsd i every aession q The Leg,

u.s the rock upon which the fsprsscnta-
tivss Of the "squattsr scvereigns" Of Ne
br.aska split. Ths advocates in tho House
Of Representatives., Of the removal OF the
Capital, in their haste to accomplish their
object, cosld brooks 70 delay, and when the
opponents Of their pet ssAems, spoke against
time, for the purpose Of Delaying and fnal-
II thwarsing tho intentions Of the majority,
the latter became indignant, and withdrew
from the dcl&erstions IF that august body.
Subsequently, they, returned, when scene
of violence and confusion ensued, in which
the majority came o. second best. Thene1t
day, the House assembled at the usual hour,
dispensed viii. ths reading Of the journal,
and . motion VAS made and carried, that
the HOUSE adjourn to meet as Florence
rhereupon, . majority Of the members With
drew and proceeded 70 the lattor place, isay-
ing the minority Of that body, 1t the Capi-
tai, in full possession Of tho Journals, pa

House, . similar proceedisg was bad IN the
Coupcil.5 The same day, .najority OF both
branches Of the Legislature, convened in
Legislative session at Florence, and proceed,
ed 70 the transaction Of business. In the
meantime, the minority Of the Legislature
meets regularly 1t the Capital every morn
ing, and for want Of : quorum, sdjourns
from day to day. The Govsrnor very prop
erly refuses to recognize the Florence AZ
senblsge, and therefore, whatever action
they may take upon any subject, is Of little
concern. As To-day 10 the last DAY OF the
session, ws suppose this dissrAceful and IL
legal farce will come to an end. This legis-
lature has distinguished itself above and
beyond all Of iss predecessors, IN the way OF
farcical proceedings. Every Legislature that
has convened in Omaha, has been bur-
le.quo upon representative government and
unworthy to be chronicled among the occur
FENCES Of the ninctesnth century. An inor-
dinate desire to secure the lions share s' Of
bonus .stown lots" has been the prompting
motive of every action on the part OF these
disorderly and disorgauizing assemblages.-
One thing is certain, the actors in these
scenes Of Border Ruf6anism, are "National
Democrats, and not Black Rspubicans.

THANKSGIVING.

! thank thee, Father, that l 1--we!
I thank thee for these gifts of thine
For blending skies of heavenly blue,
And stars divine.
For this green earth, where wild sweet airs
Like fresh spirits, joyous srtay-
For winding stream, and trees and flowers,
Beside its way.
But more, thank thee for true hearts,
That bear sweet gifts of love to me,
Whom mine enfolds, and feels that this
Is love of thee.
thank the Father, that live!
Though wailings fill this earth of thine;
To labor for thy suffering ones,
sjoy divine.
And even I, So week and poor,
May bear some word of life from thee
A beam of hope TO reach the heart,
Even through me.

Correspondence of the Lexington Express.
MLssRs. EDITORS: | am using on my
farm one of Mr.. Geo. M. Nevell's patent
hemp brakes, invented in your city. Il has
been in operation but short time, and has
already broken about six tons Of hemp: dur
ing the last four days it broke the hemp Of
twenty acres, will now give you state
ment Of the quantity broken on the llth and
18th, and the amount Of manual labor it re.
quired, SO that your readers can judge for
themselves. On the | lth we broke 3,26S
lbs., and on the 18th. 3,706 lbs. From
eight TO nine ordinary hands were employed
each day. A negro woman cleaned, in nine
hours, sos lbs: boy, 655 lbs, man, sos
lbs, Clint Light. The Hemp was haulded
from the shock by one man, with two yoke
Of oxen. The machine was in operation
nine hours each day; it is small, only twen-
ty-lour inches wide, and has no cleaner.-
Mr., Newell is now building one, thirty-six
inches in width, cleaner attached. With
such machine, letting me select the hemp
and day, can, with ten common hands, In
ten hours, break and clean 1000 lbs. All
loss incident to the common hemp brake
saved, and the gum left on the fibre; the
saving alone in common crop would be e.
nough TO pay for machine. 1t is very du-
rable, being all made Of iron, and as porta-
bic as the common threshing machine. Any
four horse threshing power will answer to
run the brake; three or four mules are suf-
fcient; from four to ten hands are necessa-
ry. The machine is so simple in its struc-
turt and working, that any negro man can
set it up and run it. All the labor re-
CURED can be done by boys and women
The hemp grower must be pleased with the
work, strength, durability, simplicity, and
low price Of this brake. l do not suppose
il will cost more than the hire of a good
negro man. l will take pleasure in giving
any information required. l shall be using
the machine for the next seven or eight
days; after that time it will be breaking on
the farm of ]. N, Carter.

TO AN EsTRANGED FRIEND.
BY HELEN MAR.

Would were with thee,
Heart-united ever!
'Tis hard 10 live and so assundered be.
And though, too, drifting
Down the tear.flled river,
That soon will bear thee TO eternity.
Would might love thee,
With love so holy
So trusting, l to thee, and thou 10 me;
Loving each other
Faithfully and truly;
What sweet fairy-dream living would be!
Would I might knew thee
Sinless, and pure-hearted,
As once deemed Thee; but Iwish in vain.
How like pleasant dream,
So soon departed!
For can never love thee so again.
Yet would see thee;
Once JON hands together
With loving trust; an olden sunny ray.
Methinks then could close
Thine eyes forver,
And watch the angels bearing thee away.
In yon bright heaven
There are no ties TO sever.
There is no death, no sorrow, and no pain.
Free from deceit,
We yet shall be together,
And love thee, and thou lore me again.

Two country lawyers overtaking a

gravity:
Pray Mr.. Wagner, how is it that
your fore-horse is so fat and the

Scotch penetration, and knowing
them to belong to the legal tribe, re.
piled:
Well you see, the reason is plair

CHAPTER 1.
'What! stay at home for that
squalling young one? Catch me to
and the young mother threw on a
bonnet and shawl, and humming a
gay air, sauntered out on the pro-
menade. One and another bowed
and smiled as she moved along, flush
ed, triumphant and beautiful. A
young man met her just as she was
passing the shop of well known
firm.
'Ah, out again, Deliah' he said,
earnestly. 'Where is Charley?'

The young mans face grew
cloudy.

with a radient smile left her husband
hard at work, and fitted on.

NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE
Newspaper patronage is a curious
thing in the estimation ofsome peo-
pie. A man lives near you-never
took your paper, it is too small, don't
like the editor--don't like the poll
tics-too whiggish--too old fogyish
or too something else-yet goes re-
gularly to his neighbours and reads il
by good fire-fnds fault with its
contents, disputes with its position,
and quarrels with its type. Occa-
sionally sees an article he likes
saves half a dime, and begs a num-
Der. This is newspaper patronage.
