tires of Nebraska Territory:
GENTLEMEx As one Of the sovereign
people, whose wishes you are elected tc
carry out, 1 respectfully call your atten.
ton to the fact that, in addition to the
financial pressure, which has long blight.
ed the prospects of our people, the fail
ure of the crops in some parts of ouI
Territory, during the last season, render
it a period Of trial to US all, and demand
your ~interposition to protect the indus.
trious husbandman and tradesman, who
feel the pressure SO forcibly from laws
which, while they fill the pockets of Ter
r~itorial officers, strip them, many times,
not only of their personal effects, but Of
their homes.
The law in relation to the assessment
and collection of taxes is very defective.
Not only have assessments been set
aside in this county, and, as I have been
informed, some ~seventy-fve per cent.
added to them, but, property valued at
three dollars an acre, has been put up to
five by the Commissioners more than it
wopld bring under the hammer if offered
for sale. Nay! more, if the tax is not
paid in a very brief space of time, fifty
per cent. is added to the amount. A
procedure, in my view, not justified in the
most prosperous times, by any body Of
men claiming to be guardians Of the pub
lie interest.
A still more unwise practice, in refet-
ence to this matter, is the forcing a sale
of property the first year, which should
never be done under any circumstances.
Two years at least oughtto elaPse before
resorting to measures 50 summary.
And, as 1 am on the subject of griev-
ances, permit me to state that, if the Stay
Law vas repealed by a subsequent act,
as decided BY a judicial tribunal, circum-
stances require immediate action in the
matter, to protect the property of the peo-
pie from the rapacity of creditors, until
they can have time to make arrangements
to satisfy the demands upon them, with
out too great a sacrifice.
And as it would require the ingenuity
of an able lawyer to define explicitly the
Heterogeneous mass of exemptions passed
last session, said to amount to some ff.
teen hundred dollars, would it not be well
to modify ito say, in plain terms, that
one thousand dollars worth of real estate,
and five hundred in personal property.
shall be exempt from execution. It is
confidently asserted that by the act, to
which reference is made, one man may
have a stack Of buildings worth twenty
thousand dollars on a single lot, and, if he
lives in one part thereof, he may bid def
ance to his creditors. This, certainly, is
not a law suited to the genius Of our rep
ublican institutions. That the rent Of
one mans exemption should amount to
more than the entire possessions Of an
other, is a crying evil! One that places
the industrious tiIler of the soil and the
toiling artisan, for whose benefit it should
have been made, far below the aristocra-
tic delinquent ; and calIs-loudIy calls for
amendment, at your hands.
And while you are on the subject Of
retrenchmcnt, it may be well 70 remem-

10 Case Of BIZ. DundI.


We infer froma recent editorial in th'
Nebraska City Nescs. that our neighbo.
desires to "calI US OUT. on the contes
question now pending in the Council
branch Of the Territorial Legislature, be
tween E. S. Dundy and w. c. Fleming
from the Richardson and Pawnee Dis.
t1ci.
As we understand the case, Mr.. Dun.
dy holds the certificate of election given
him BY the proper oficer-the Clerk Of
Richardson county; that Mr.. Fleming
holds a certificate from the same Clerk,
showing that he received the largest
number Of votes cast IN the district, in
GLIDING residents upon the Half Breed In
dian Reservation; that the Canvassing
Board threw out, or refused to count, the
votes Of residents upon this Half Breed
land; and that, by 50 doing, the count
showed Dandy to have a majority Of what
might be deemed the legal vote, and that
the certificate Of election was therefore
awarded him.
In deciding upon this case, either in
the capacity of a Canvassing Board, o. a
member. of the Council, we are free to say
that the obligations Of the oath of Office
would forbid taking into consideration
previous customs, or known, or reported,
real or apparent Inconsistencies Of officers
or individuals. Facts, and our convic-
tons as to the lar in the case, alone
ought, and would guide US in acting or
deciding. Fully convinced, as we are,
that Indian Reservations are no more a
part of Nebraska than are portions Of
Missouri and Iowa, and that consequent
" residents thereon have no more legal
right to vote in Nebraska, than have
those Of Missouri or Iowa, we would have
had no hesitancy whatever, as a member
of the Csnvassing Board, in awarding
Mr.. Dundy the certificate, or, as d mem
Der Of the Council, in voting for him to
retain his seat.
We are aware that House members of
the Legislature from Richardson county,
now hold their seats by the aid Of votes
cast by the residents on the Half Breed
land, and. that those residents have here
tofore voted in that county at most, or all
elections. That there is a glaring inoon-
sistency, to say the least, in the manner
10 which affairs have been conducted in
that county, we are, of course, very free
to admit. Yet, this does not affect the
law, or change our opinion as to the only
legal and proper course to be pursued in
this or like cases.
While upon this question, we again, as
heretofore, express the hope that some
steps mag be taken by which the Half
breed land, in this and Richardson coun-
ties, may be made a part of the Territory
of Nebraska. The lands have already
must shortly all-passed into
the hands of Industrious, intelligent,
thriving white settlers, whose every in-
terest are identical with US, and they
ought to be "of u.s."

Mr. EDIToR:-There have been thir-
ty-nine bills and memorials introduced in
to the Council, and seventy-three in the
House, none of which have passed both
Houses.
The House on Tuesday decided the
contested case between Hedde (who is a
German and Republican, and johnson
(who Is an American and said TO be a
Norman and Democrat The House
refused to Gust Hedde in favor Of John
son, for which l suppose the "Only two
papers in Nebraska will give it fls.-
One thing is certain, johnson has no more
right to a sat in the House than / have.
There. was a petition read in the House
this morning, praying to dissolve the
matrimonial connection existing between
w. R. M. Breckenridge Commonly
known in Brownville as Major Breeken-
ridge and Drcey his wife. Appended
to the petition was an affidavit from a
prominent citizen of B~rownville, setting
forth certain facts. The petition and af-
l6davit were read amidst shouts Of laugh
ter. and Immediately referred to the COM
mittee on Internal Improvements. (there
to die a natural dealh.) There is no use
sending Divorce cases mere, for the House
has decided it will not grant any, that
the applicants must go Othe Courts.
The House to-day, after a protracted
debate ousied A. VI. Acton of Richardson
from his seat on the ground of ineligihil-
ity, he living at Rulo on the half breed
tract. There was a great deal of out
side pressure, in favor Of Acton. Persons
who had bought lands of the half-breeds,
seemed 10 think that the rejection Of Ac-
ton would injure their titles. It was also
regarded as affecting Morton's chances
to keep the seat in Congress. The out
siders got very excited, and used some
pretty strong language when the yeas and
nays were called, there we're 90 yeas, and

Oh dimly through the mists Of years,
That roll their dreary waves between
The gorgeous sunset land appears,
Arrayed in hues of fadeleSs green.
Aud from that far. off sunny cline,
Old halt-forgotten songs arise,
And stealing DER the waves OF Time
The sweetly lingering music dies.
As some bright island OF the sea,
Forever blo0ming-evcr fair;
Though cold, dark hillows round it be,
Eternal sunshine hovers there.
Thus, DER the silent sea of years.
Our eager, longing looks are cast,
Where robed in iadcleSs spring appears
The sunlit Eden of the past.
There memory waves her garands green
Beside the lone, hope haunted shore
And musing mid tAe Arcadian scene,
Twines flowers that bloom for us no more
Oh! hallowed CLINE blest land of love
Sweet Paradise Of early Dreams
Still through thy vale may fancy rove,
Still hask beneath thy evening beams.
And there they dwcli-those cherished ones,
With snow white brows aud waving hair
| see them now-l hear their tones
or sweetness sigh along The air.
Uark how their silvery voices ring
In cadence with the winds low sigh
Not sweetcr is the wind harp's string
That wakes at eve its melody,
They call us see, they wave their hands
As by the mirage lifted high,
That cline in all its beauty stands
Against the forehead OF the sky.
With wreathed brows s-with laugh and song,
With tender looks-hand clasped in hand,
They move along, that loveliaked throng -
Within the haunted sunsctland.

Docs not all the world know that it is much
easier for fascinating designing woman to lead
men from the path OF 'ectitudc than it ia to turn
a virtpous woman from known path Of duty
And if a m ;rreG w oman has not moral rectitude
to keep ler from that most degrading bondage,
Of yielding her person to SO at the beck and call
of unprincpled men; if she has not sufficient
virtue to keep her from such course she is
equally guilty with him. There is no seduction
in such a case. Talk of the seduction of q mar
ried woman If She is not criminal at heart
how long do you suppose She would listen to se-
ductve words? My blood boils with ndigna-
tion, fairly pant from exhaustion Of anger to
hear the remarks made by society in such cases.
1t is an outrage on womankind 1t places IA on
