Peached by His Friends.
CHICAGO, March 1.-The investigation
committee, of the Nebraska Legislature,
on charges of corruption against Gov.
Butler, ex.Secretary Rennard, and other
State officers, reported yesterday after
noon. The sworn testimony fully proved
that the officers were guilty of corrupt
and criminal practice. Gov. Butler sent
in q special message protesting against
the manner of procedure by the investi-
eating committee, and asking that new
committee be appointed. The impeach-
ment resolutions against Gov. Butler were
made the special order at 10 o'clock to-
day. There is little doubt the House will
vote for impeachment. 1t is held by high
legal authority that upon the impeach-
ment articles being presented to the
Senate, the Governor will be suspended,
as the State constitution is explicit on
this point. The excitement is running
high.
OMAHA, March IA resolution i'm

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The creden-

New Jersey; Kelly, of Oregon, and
Wright, of Iowa, were presented.

The Army BiIi-BoId Speech from
Salisbury.
The Senate took up the Army Appro-
priation bill.
The report of the Committee of Con-
ference on the Indian Appropriation bill
was concurred IN.
Mr.. Salisbury opposed the passa ge of
the army appropriation bill, because Of
the rejection of his amendment prohibit
ing the expenditure of any money under
the appropriation bill for the payment of
troops at election. He regarded the re-
lection as sufficient indication that the
dominant party intended to use the army
to carry the elections. He said there was
q man at the other end of the avenue
who, though unlettered and knowing
little of his country's history, possessed
indOmitable will and unc Oubted cOur-
age. When the House of Represen-
tatives come to count the electoral vote
for next President, that man would per
haps be found a willing instrument in en-
ploying the army, to whose support the
Senate were now appropriating this
money, in the re establishment of himself
for four years more. He Salisbury
would now serve notice on the domin ant
party, that if the Democrats elected by
fair vote their nominee for President,
they intended his Inauguration if they
had to wade knee deep in blood.
The bill then passed, and the naval
appropriation was taken up as in Com
mittee of the Whole. After disposing of
twenty pages of the bill the Senate went
into executive session and soon after took
recess.
The Senste's evening session was occu-
pied in the consideration of the navy ap-
pointment bill.

A Lady,s Argument for tho Dog Law

~ DNAoy . al uHAOhA AtH NsAc LUX LII"
Since the enactment Of the dog law by
the Legislature, the discussion that has
arisen in County Courts, and the various
ARTICLES published by the press of the State,
have revealed the fact that diversity of
sentiment exists in regard to the beneficial
results that are to be expected. But
the main question is, whether sheep or
dogs are most important to the prosperity
of the State. The following communica-
ton, written by lady living in Lewisburg,
Marshall county, to the Marshall Gazette,
shows plainly her sentiments in regard to
the Law. She says:
MIR. EDITOR: On Saturday night, Feb.
IS, had on our farm twenty-nine head of
sheep, all ewes of selected kind. The
dogs, during the night, killed twenty-five,
aud wounded three, only one escaping IN
hurt. Of the number killed. sixteen of
them had young lambs, and it was scene
the next morning, to draw tears from any
human being, to see those lambs sucking
their dead mothers. We need a dog law
in this county to get rid of the worthless,
unnecessary dogs that prey and feed on the
property of others beside their owners.
We ask it, to protect the poor sheep and
innocent lambs, and in behalf Of the farm
ers' wives in this county.
