EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE

OMAHA, N. T., Feb. Sd, 1864.
Ma. CoLHApp: As has usually been
the case during past sessions Of the Leg
islature, more than half the session has
passed away, yet but few bills have
passed both Houses and been signed by
the Governor. The fact is it requires
nearly or quite forty days to get any law
through the Legislative body.
The follow ing are all the acts that
have yet been signed by the Governor:
An act to change and define the bounda-
ries of Hall county an act to repeal an
act requiring the sale of cast iron belong
ing to the Capitol an act to apportion
the Counch districts of Nebraska, and
an act 10 apportion the House districts of
Nebraska.
The new apportionment gives seven
members of the Council south of the
Platte, and six north of the Platte. 1t
gives % members of the House south Of
the Platte river, and 16 north of said
river. Taking the last census as a basis,
or taking the last vote, or the vote of any
proceeding year, as a basis, after giving
each county all the full menbers'' they
are entitled to, there are in almost every
county fractions unrepresented. Where
these fractions are nearly full, of course
a member is given. Where several
counties lie together, each having frac-
tions, after giving them Their representa-
ton Of foil members, a float can be
given 10 those counties. Bat still there
wall be counties with fractions of their
population unrepresented, Nemaha is one
of these. After giving her n full
Councilmen and four members Of the
House, there is still a fraetion of the
population unrepresented, both IN the
Council and IN the House. But il was
found to be almost impossible 70 SO com
biDe counties for a float, without making
a float between Nemaha and certain
counties north of the Platte river, or
others equally distant. There are other
counties that lose as much as Nemaha
Oboe, for instance, has more than a full
member, less than she is entitled To-. 1t
was thought best for the river counties,
that had large representation in the
Legislature, 10 coneede something to
more western counties that are now
rapidly filing up, and have as yet but
little or no representation. There is,
however, q provision in the new APP
%portl9nment, insisted 90 by members
north Of the PLATTE, bet4re they would
support it, which I do not ike. It limits

LEWIS LAwRENcR.
Written for the Advertiser

Mr.. EDIroR Sir:-In looking over
your paper of the 9Th inst, | notice an
article from a certain Doctor of this place,
signing himself Law and Order, in
which he proposes to give the people Of
this county a statement Of what actually
transpired in a certain case of mOmentous
magnitude in the city Brownvllle re-
Gently.
Now, sir, as the Doctor has failed in
some material particulars, l propose to
make a few corrections.
First, then. one Mr.. Rains, while a
prisoner, attacked one Mr.. Emmons with
revolver in hand, ran him round the
building, &c., in the presence Of Justice,
Constable and c@iuzens, none of whom IN
terferred. Now. sir, the facts are: there
was no Justice present, the Constable did
interfere and restored order as soon as
any officer could have done. Asfol what
the citizens did or did not 90 l know or
care nothing. AS far as Mr.. Rains sec
ond offense is concern, l know nothing,
being out of the Territory at the time,
but am fully satisfied, from authenticated
authority that the Sheriff done his whole
duty in trying to procure the person of
whom ho mo- in OuaSf
The Doctor has discovered a great
buger5oo in the proceedings in the jadg-
ment rendered. Certainly Doctor you
forgot your ''specks" when you came
down to examine our docket, for it does
not nor never did read as you state in
your communication. Better come and
look at it again and see for yourself what
it does say before you publish to the
world such misrepresentation. Il says
the costs rendered against the plaintiff
and not the witness. Quite a difference
Doctor.
As far as Mr.. Kennedy was concerned
appearing in behalf of the defendants
and adviser of the Court, &C., | do not
know anything about, as neither Mr..
Kennedy or DR.. Mcpherson were presen,
at the time Of trial. They both appear
ed sometime after, and thoroughly bored
the court and all present with a prolonged
debate on the State Of the country, even
10 such an extent that all had to suspen1
for the day, and most of us resort to
places of better entertainment.
In reply to the Doctors affectionate
appeal to the people to rally round The
standard of Law and Order, l would
simply ask him this question What is
the great difference IN crilninality be-
tween the riot on the 20th inst, above
Brownville, and a similar lawless mob
only a few months ago for a similar pur-
pOse-to expell rebels from our midst
of which he was a component part?
Where is the law, Doctor. that justified
you, the Probate Judge. the County
Clerk and other officials and citizens In
your actof mObocracy then? Also, many
other acts of motocracy both suffered by
and participated in by some of our citi-
zens, which | can and will, if necessary,
mention, which have ~transpired within
our county unnoticed and uncared for.
Now, Mr.. Editor, / refer to the above
eases hoping to draw out an explanation
of what is the mOMentous importance Of.
and vast difference between, this and
similar cases which have transPired in
the sight Of and encouraged by some Of
the same persons who have had SO much

to a Of late l cannot see why the
people should be so extremely vigilent IN
HE case of Mr.. Emmons, when it IS a
known fact all over the country that Ne
maha county always has been a very I'M
healthy climate 70 men Of like reputed
precliviiies.
The difference between my position
and some who now clamor so loud for
Law and Order is just this: that while
they one day %patronize mObOcrcy and the
next crv Law, Order, Peace; l always
have denounced lDobocracy and upheld
the supremacy of the law, from the birth
Of rebellion. While they uphold mob
ocracy in n instance, and denOunce it
publicly to the world in another; / con-
demn it ia every instance and under all
circumstances. While you are now 50
ready to stgmatize officials, / am willing
to allow others what / claim for myself,
the privilege of conducting my OWL affairs
in my own way. Wonder if every body
in this enlightened community has had

In p~erilous times like these it's well
not 10 lose sight Of any old or new land
mark. AS the word loyalty-in cur form
Of observation-disclosures mean an adher-
snce to The law and the constituted au-
ihorilies, il is well 10 pay attention to
the proclamations or instructions emf
mating from an authorative source. We
believe in being loyal no farther than
Abraham Lincoln, his Cabinet, and Con
gressare or dictate; believing that every
sep beyond that is a pernicious usurpa.
ton and d%isloyal, because its effect must
be to weaken confidence in the constituted
authorities and strengthen usurpation.-
If we believe that any law, proclamation
or treaty is wrong in effect OF tendency,
ii is our duly to obey, and our privi-
lege to correct through the ballOt-box
or public opinion, but not by wrestling the
power from the lawful authorizes.
In this connection we would reprint
for the. benefit of those o~ver-zealOus ones
In our counly-a few extracts from the
Presidents instructions to Gen. ShOfeld,
given from Washington, D. c., Oct. lst,
1853 /:
"Our immediate duty now = > is TO
compel the excited people there TO leave
n another alone"
$50 far as practicable, you will, by
means of your military force exePl guer-
rillas, marauders, and all who ire known
to hafbor, aid or abet them. But IN like
manner You will repress assumptions OF
Unauthorized individuals 10 perform the
same service, because, under pretence OF
doing this, they become m~arauders and
murderers themselves"
o. HTonow restore peace, let the military
obeyaorders !; aud those not of the mill
tary leave each other alone, thus not
breaking the peace themselves"
Thus il will be seen what the views
and instructions Of the President were
in regard to restoring peace and they
should have still stronger force when aP-
piled to our situation. We have peace
now under the law ; this is what We desire.
We do not wish to make it necessary
to have a military force quartered here
10 teach US loyalty, nor do we. believe j
ever viii be necessary. There is still
true loyalty enough 10 back the officer.
of the law in arrestipg and bringing tc
Justice all criminals whatever.
