During the speech Of Mr.. Smith, some
one sent him a tumbler of egg-nogg

Mr.. Smith said that was one Of the
Constitutional privileges of his side Of
the House, Laughter.

Loud laughter all over the House.
After further remarks Mr.. Smith re-

Mr.. Burnett, of Kentucky, (Dem.,

put the question to the House. Laugh

The full organization of the Commit

There they are-Si~teen out of twenty

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 81.
COUNCIL.

The following bills were passed:
Bin to authorize Stephen Story and
others to keepa ferry on the Missouri
river at St. Stephens. do
Bill to organize Dawson county.
Bill to organize Kearney county.
Bill to locate a Territorial road in the
counties Of Nemaha and Richardson.
Bill requiring suits on written instru-
ments to be brought in the name Of the
executors.
House bill for an appropriation for a
bridge across Blackbird Creek, on the
Omaha Reservation.
Mr.. Reeves moved to lay the bill on
the table until all the members Of the coun-
Gil should be present.
Nh. Doane opposed the motion. He
said the gentleman from Otoe doubtless
wished to postpone the passage of the bill
until the return Of Mr.. Furnas, who, he
supposed would vote against it. He saw
no good reason for thus trying to defeat
the bill. N .r[yF
Nh. Reeves acknowledged that he did
wish to defeat the bill. 1t was establish
ing a precedent that would involve the
Territory in hopeless debt. He did not
wish to see such a system inaugurated.
There were other bridges needed in the
Territory, but he did no wish to see the
country brought in debt by appropriations
for such purposes.
Mr.. Scott advocated the merits of the
bill. The stream was a very bad one TO
cross, and the road leading across it, at
the point where it is proposed to build a
bridge, was the only outlet or thorough
fare for all the counties above this Reser-
vation. It's present condition seriously
interferred with their interests and the
construction of the bridge would be a
benefit which should be awarded in fus-
tice and necessity, to all the people Of the
Upper Country.
Mr.. Cheeyer said he wished to see a
full expression Of the members Of the
Council upon the bill before it vas finally
acted upon, and he therefore supported
the motion to lay on the table.
mr. Doane spoke upon the motion to
lay on the table. lie said there was a
necessity for this work. It was removed
some distance, II was true, from the con-
stit0ency represented by the gentleman
from 0ioe but If MIR. Reeves. or any
other member were to originate a bill for
a similar work Of necessity, equal in inn
poriance TO this, in any other part of the
Territory, he would give il his ready sup
port without waiting for a full house.
Mr.. Reeves said he had lived on the
frontiers for over twenty years, and had
endured all manner Of Inconvenience and

An a~bolitionist in Clayton, Ala, was
