By editorial correspondence it viii
be e how the caucus resulted Sat
urday night. From private source we
learn that in caucus Monday night
Upton received p votes and Mar
quette Is, with 6 scattering. This SET,
tied the business, and by private des-
patch yesterday morning we learn
that MI. Upton had been reelected
on Tuesday last. This places him in
for six years from March 4th.
The choice is one which every lover
Of freedom a endorse, as a truer and
more fearless advocate of Republican
principles does not live. His political
lifetime has been spent in the work
of battling for the principles Of equal
rights to all Irrespective Of color or
caste.
We congratulate Nebraska; we con
graduate Nemaha county; we con-
g~T8tuIate BrownviIle ; and, finally. rs
the position was forced apon him
against the wishes of a host Of oppo-
sing candidates, we congratulate T.

EDITORIAL Correspondence.


LINCOLN, Jan. 16, 1869.
The Committee on Privileges and
Elections in the House to whom was
referred the case Of PaGker, who con-
tests the seat held by Brush for the 9Th
District, composed Of Butler, Seward
and Saunders counties, have decided
that Parker is entitled to the seat, and
have so reported.
The testimony elected in the case
proves that Parker has a clear major
ity Of twenty-five votes. The County
Clerk Of Butler sent the returns Of the
canvas for that county to Omaha,
with the returns for State officers in
stead Of the county seat Of Saunders,
the oldest organised county in the
District, as by law required. And it
further appears that there were at the
time Of the election, two persons in
Seward county claiming to act in the
capacity Of County Clerk. Three pre-
cincts in the said county recognized
one clerk and the other two recognized
the other clerk. The clerk Of Saun-
ders recognized the one that controlled
the county seat, and so canvassed the
returns, of Saunders county and two
precincts in Seward county, and gave
the certificate of election to Brush.
The committee show eonclusively if
the legal votes Of these counties were
all compared it would give Parker a
majority Of twenty-five. The report
of the majority Of the committee was
laid on the table until Monday, togive
the minority time to report.
Petitions and remonstranees on the
subject Of a General Herd law numer-
ously signed was presented and re-
ferred to the committe on Agriculture.
This shows the importance of the
subject among farmers.
Mr.. Steinman viii present a remon-
STRANGE against a Herd Law for Ne
maha county on next Monday.
Nj. Pollock and Mr.. Vandeventer of
Nemaha county are officers in the SEN
ate, and their ability, f%aithfu1ness and
good conduct are alike creditable to
the county they represent. They
make good officers and are attentive
to business.
SATURDAY EvENING.-The caucus
reassembled this evening and took
thirteen ballots. They were all nearly
the same. Upton Is, Marquett 8, But
Ter 10, Mccain 8 and 8 scattering.
We have adjourned until Monday
evening. A few votes have been cast
for Geo. F. Train and as many for E.
Cady Stanton.
Richardson, Nemaha and Gage
members support Upton. We are
promised a few votes from Otoe, Cass
and Douglas when they drop their
own candidates. I will send you fur
ther particulars by Tuesday mornings

The Republican thus describes the
mode to be adopted for constructing
the foundations of the Railroad bridge.
The flatboats to be used during the
progress of the work are now being
built: The piles will consist of hollow
iron tubes eight feet in diameter, cast
in sections of eight feet in length.
These will be sunk into the earth I'M
til they rest on solid rock, in some in
stances to a depth of eighty feet be-
low the surface. The dirt is then
taken cut of all of them, and they are
filed up with stone and cement
There win be eight or ten of these
tubes in each pier. Their tops viii be
above high water marks of the river.
On them will rest heavy iron col
umns, ten to each pier, we believe !;
and on these columns will be built the
spans Of the bridge.

Al terrible double traderv oecurreI

A terrible double tradegy occurred
in Fremont county, Iowa, on the 10th
and 18th. Two noted rufians went
with the avowed intention Of break
ing up a dance that was going on at
VIM. II. Hollaway's, two miles north
Of Fremont City. They fired off a re-
voIver in the room, and upon Mr.. H.
demonstrating with them they both
attacked him, stabbing and beating
him Sc that he died on the 18th. Orion
was captured, Jackson made his es-
cape, but was retaken at Weeping
Water in this State. On account of
some informality the Sheriff Of Ere
mont county refused to take charge of
the prisoners, when-it resting with
citizens to tend to their safe keeping
they took the prisoners about a mile
from town and hung them.
