We have just been shown a letter from
Mr.. FUTILE, Cashier of this Bank, and
are highly gratiied to learn from it that
the prospects for a speedy resumption are
so excellent. Mr.. T., during his absence
of three months, has been earnestly enga-
ged in preparing to meet satisfactorily all
demands against the Bank, and his efforts
have met with well-deserved success. In
the letter before us, it is stated that sit
is a resolution of the new Board of Direc-
tors, that ample securities be placed in
the hands of the public for every dollar
issued by the Bank"
Owing to unforeseen delays, Mr.. Tut
tie was unable to reach home by January
lst, as he had anticipated-but writes
that he will be in Omaha between the 10th
and 18th inst. The confidence thus far
shown by all in MI. Tuttle's intentions
and ability will no doubt be continued un-
til the time of his return now very near
at hand.--0maha Times.

The-LegisIatiTe troubles.

We have Just returned from the Capital
of the Territory; but did not arrive in
time TO furnish our readers with an article
on the recent difficulties In the Legisla-
ture, We publishin another column the
message Of Gov. RICHARDSON to the ma
iority and the reply thereto, by the Com
mittee Of both Houses.
Next week we purpose to commence a
series of. articles as to the difficulties of
le~gislating in Nebraska. In our investi-
CATION of this matter, we shall deal in no
thing but facts and figures. Thus far we
have kept aloof from that local strife,
which has well near ruined us-has re-
tarded the progress-yea, entirely block
ed the wheels of useful and much needed
legislation. We think we can give the
whole matter, from the organization of
the Territory to the sine die adjournment
of all the branches of the last General
Assembly, a fair, unbiased, impartial con-
sideration. We must not allow questions
of policy to rend us, while there is a vital
principle underlying the whOle-a prin-
ciple as old as time, and dearer to Anne
rican freemen than life itself; nor should
we be hasty in forming or expressing
opinions; be fully and satisfactorily In
formed first.

LEGISLATIVE HALL,
January IA, 1858.

TO has ErceAency, Nm. Il. Richardson.
SIR:-We have the honor of being in
receipt of your communication of the 18th
inst.
Respect for the high office which YOU
hold, as well as justice to ourselves, de-
mand a reply.
The candor and frankness of your COM
munication we anticipated from one whose
name is part of the history of our Great
West. The same candor and frankness
in III reply will, we feel assured, not
prove offensive.
Acquainted as you are with the genius
of our government; experienced as you
are in matters Of legislation; devoted as
has been so large a portion of YOUR life
to making laws for your country; we
deem unnecessary to urge upon your Ex-
cellency how vitality important it is to the
happiness and well-being of any people,
that those whom they may choose to make
the laws under which they are to live,
should be uninauenced by any intruding
outside pressure-free to act and vote ac-
cording to the dictates of their own iudg-
ment and the known wants and wishes of
their constituents.
Among the many safeguards erected in
our country to secure the happiness of the
people, we know of none more important
to possess; none in the overthrow of which
more mischief would result. Without it,
the people have no assurance of laws
such as they desire, and our government
virtually becomes an oligarchy, the mob
few controlling the moderate many.
We submit a case in point. q
The Legislature meet and organize at
the place appointed bylaw. They proceed
to legislate upon some subject in itself a
legitimate matter of Legislative actiou.-
The bill is obnoxious to the few immedi-
ately surrounding their locality but de-
manded blythe. wishes of the great majo-
rity Of the people, as made known by a
majority of their representatives. Afew
become violent and threatening. Legis-
lative action is no longer free. Votes
are cast not in accordance with the die
tates of reason or the known wishes of
constituents, but with reference 10 the

In Belgium and Sardinia it is certain
that the liberal or revolutionary party are
making great progress. In Belgium the
election excitement runs so high that the
King has been obliged to descend into the
arena and defend himself from the at
tack of the Catholic party. All this is
reacting on France more or less; but
France has already gone over hat ground
several times, and she has nothing new to
learn. Besides, relapses are more diff
cult to cure than original desease.
