latest reports:
South Carolina-Receipts, s107. $50 ;
expenditures, S3l9,O68; defect, s2I1 ,523.
Georgia-Recdipts. Sl6S,965; eqpen-

AS most of our readers are aware, Mr..
DUNDY retains his seat I n The Council by
a tie vote. This case, or rather the Half
Breed Land question, has not only given
rise to extended debates in both branches
of the Legislature, but has elected quite
a newspaper controversy in this Terrific
ry. Some Of which, we are sorry to say,
is of characteristic Vsry low order. We
have before US the remarks of our Coun-
Mr.. Upton, who, having occasion
to investigate closely the case, presents,
we think, IN array of un~surmountable
testimony. We will give the principal
points in Mr.. It's speech next week.

ayes 20, hayes Is. The motion to admit
Davenport was lost.
This morning, His Excellency sent a

debate the bill was passed over the veto,
only two members, Downs of OtOe, and
Porter of richardson, voting no.
So the House of Representatives Of

The VelCS speaks OF LOCKWOOD OF La
kota, as being leader of the Republicans
in the House. Mr.. Lockwood has not
the confidence of the members sufficient
to constitute him the leader of the party.
MI. Cavins of Otoe could have been lead
er, had he had confidence in himself, and
taken the lead.
/ do not like to puff our own members,
but, certainly Mr.. Baker has more inffu-
ence inthe House than any other mem
Der, During the last week he has taken
an active part in the proceedings, aid his
opponents Including the fractions Red,
lex differ "with all due respect for the
Gentleman from Nemaha." Our Coun-
ty will do injustice to itself if it does not
return Mr.. Baker next winter. 3
Our young friend from Clay, Parker
does not make many speeches, but he has
a clear head, and is always practical and
to the point, he is also very popular, and
ought by all means to be returned.
AS to our young bachelor friends,
[Beane and Fisher j have been urging
them all the session to make a hifaIutin,
buncombe speech. 1 tell them it would
help their matrimonial prospects, but
though they have had several glorious
LN.. "
opportunities, they have let them slip. l
am afraid their courage oOzes out other
fingers ends, like a certain man ''we
read about"
Whaley of Platte [Rep.] has made
several speeches, he never speaks unless
he has something worth saying, and al
ways stops when he is through with his
consequently he is always
listened to with attention, and has a good
deal of influence.
Gilmore of Cass [Rep. is a prominent
member, quick and energetic in his mo
tions, / always know beforehand when
he is going to speak; he will lock his
fingers together, twirl his thumbs, bend
his head so as to look over his spectacles
at the occupant of the floor, and as soon
as SAID occupant gives way, up be pops,
with the "Mr. Speaker and seldom
to catch the speakers eye, or ear.
Of the Speaker. He is a tall, very In
tellgent man, and would be handsome,
were it not that the handle to his face is
large. He is clear headed, and
an excellent presiding officer.
Matthias of otoe [Rep.l IS another
very prominent member, and it is to be
hoped his constituents viii send him back
again. oa
The most prominent on the Democratic
side are Downs of Otoe and Rediok of
Omaha. Redick has the most learning,
but Downs has the most sense. They
are both very good men, and attend close
to the interests of their constituents,
md the Territory generally.
CIeburne Of Sarpy EDem. is another
prominent member, he is anxious that
every bill shall be o. K. and consequent
offers a great many amendments, some
IF which the House does not adopt.
Willard of Omaha Dem. was very
luiet during the first three weeks, he
broke loose on the "Usury bill,'' and Ike
he buchanan with the cork leg he keeps

DEAN FURNAss-I would like TO make
some inquiry through the .Adeertissr with
regard to the reason why our dear Rep
resentatives in the Legislature do not
keep US posted with their doings. Are
they getting nc documents printed? Or
do they have to pay their own postage?
Or have heyforgotten their constituents?
l have received but one document, the
Governors Message, since the Legisla7
ture met and / hear many of my neigh
bors complaining. The only Legislative
news we get is through the .AdUertiser
and Herald. 1t was not so when you
was in the Legislature. We got doeu-
ments, bills as offered, and the Omaha
papers, regularly. and occasionally a
friendly letter. Now, If we have no cause
to complain. why we won't, that's all
But if we have, l for one wish 10 say that
if they have forgotten as, the time may
come when l will fail to recollect any
thing of them except their neglect.
