Wouldn't PAY Them.

The Secretary of this Territory, Hon.
T. B, CuMINe. paid the minority-who
broke up the sitting Of the Legislature
while meeting only of mornings, and
adiourningf for want of a quorum, their per
diem; but refused to pay the majority,
who were engaged until the last hour Of
the session in endeavoring to discharge
the duties for which they were elected:
enacting good and wholesome laws for the
Territory. The same distinction was also
made in regard to the postage of MEM
bers.
We will do Secretary Cunning the Gre
dit however to say we believe such a
course was not in accordance with his
feelings or better judgment. He had
been for weeks confined to his bed; his
body racked with pain, his brain scorched
with fever, yet was waited upon, adj
vised and instructed almost hourly by the
Omaha Regulators.
"You viii not get any pay while al
Florence !" was a much used argument
on the part Of the minority, to induce, il
possible, members not to go on in the
faithful discharge of the duties devOlving
upon them. They actually succeeded il
OBTAINING one member who thought more
Of the almighty dollar than of his
obligations to his constituents. ry8la
Perhaps the minority honestly thought
that all their obligations to the people
were discharged when they had 'legis--
lated for three dollars a day"-perhaps
they had no higher motives to prompt
them! If so, far be it from us to censurt
them.

was withdrawn no further business should
be transacted during the session was
out Of the Hall when the difficulty between
the Speaker and Others commemorate
heard hat there was a call for mem
bers; started to go in; found the crowd
at the door so intense that it was with
difficulty / made my way within the door,
and was utterly unable to get to my seat
within the bar; when | got within the
doorI saw a number of persons having
hold of Mr.. Speaker Decker, among
whom | recognized MI. Murphy member
of the House from Douglas county, and a
Mr.. Kimball resident of Omaha and who
was not a menber Of the legislature
During the scnfe / saw Mr.. Hanscom, a
prominent citizen of Omaha and not a
member of the Legislature, rush toward
the parties and seize the Speaker who
was then torn from the stand to the floor
where / could no longer see because of
the crowd.
n Was in the House on the morning of
the Sth when a motion was made to adj
iourn to Florence; did not vote on the
motion; after the motion carried, the
majority retired, and the minority imme-

Poppleton of Douglas Speaker. and also
e~lecting other subordinate officers. /

documents to my friends, after complete

Mr. Morton of Otoe spoke to me from his
seat saying, "You have not the franking

them. The Speaker then ordered the
Sergeant-at-arms to "clear the House
from all refractory members-take him
out" Some one other of the minority
added "and see thath he does not take more
than belongs to him." The Sergeant-at-
arms approached me when L replied 81

hold of me and walked with me to the
door. From the time Mr.. Morton spoke
to me until / left the Hal there was con-
tinued cheering and stamping by the mi
nority and lobby. As went out I looked
back and discovered Mr.. Poppleton, the
newly elected Speaker, near my back with
his gavel drawn over me. He afterward
told me he had followed me TO the door.

The Documents.

Below We publish the affidavit of the
Hon. S. A. CHAMBERS, one of the mem
bers of the House from this county. This
is but a commencement of a host of testi-
mony which the majority have in store
for the people. This evidence is taken
and published to show the tyrannical and
bullying disposition of the minority, even
after the majority had retired from the
Hall. To think that men occupying the
position Of Representatives of free and
.tindependent people, in connection with
an excited and ~boisterous lobby should
take the advantage Of an aged gray
headed man, sitting silently and peace
ably at his desk, alone as it were-for
there was not another member of the
majority in the House-and forcibly eject
him from the Legislative halls, merely
because he choose to act for himself, and
for what he honestly and conscientiously
believed to be the interests of not only his
Immediate constituency, but a constituency
at large, cannot fail toproduce other than
feelings Of the most profound solici;ude
for the future welfare and prosperity Of
this Territory. Heretofore our dissen-
items or differences have been questions
Of policy merely. They are no longer
such. They are now questions Of prin-

Our New Governor.

Illinois, was appointed by the President,
Governor, of Nebraska, vice Marx w.

has arrived in the Territory, qualified and

look upon this appointment, as we have
before expressed, as exceedingly appro-
pirate. Mr.. RIcHARDsoN's long and in
innate connection with the affairs of the
far West has given hima thorough know

~quaintance and influence is such that he
cannot fail to be exceedingly useful t.

contemplat,

FLowERs.-The absence of flowers and
horticultural specimens at our fair, was re-
marked by many strangers, who said, e1-
cept for Mr.. Dunks display and that of
Mrs. Doct. Hutchinson, they would have
supposed we had not yet retrieved garden
from the wilderness. The cultivation and
love of flowers is more conclusive evidence
of general refinement and taste in COM
munity, than the possession, or even pro-
duction of a few works of art by profession
al artists. A people who would he with
out flowers in this genial climate and proli-
fc soil, where there is no labor to produce
them but to deposit the seed in the earth,
would be deemed barbarous and vulgar
though housed in palaces and paraded in
splendid equipages and fine garments. Our
city is filled and surrounded with beautiful
pastures and gardens, which yield rich and
rare flowers. It must, therefore, have been
neglect and Indifference to the objects of the
fair, that no specimens of them were
shown. Another year we trust that Mrs.
Hutchinson will not be left again---as beau
tiful as her bouquets are-without many
rivals from our private gardens. The beau
ties of her garden were not all exhausted
for the public exhibition, for the Journal
was honored yesterday with some exquisite
specimens of the flowers that are stin in
bloom about the cottage on the banks o.
