TO-DAY Alexander II. Stephens,
the ex-Vice President of the defunct
Southern Confederacy, will be elected
to represent the people Of Georgia in
the Congress of the United States.
This election is a foregone conclusion,
as there is no opposing candidate in
the field. Although one of the ablest
men in the South, Stephens may
also safely be classed among the very
meanest and most unprincipled. If
we had our choice between this con-
sumate hypocrits and JEFF Davis, we
should decidedly prefer the latter.
Davis had ut least manhood enough
to stand firmly by his convictions.
Stevens strongly opposed secession at
the outbreak of the rebellion, but
the allurements of an Office, and that
office the Vice Presidency of the
shareholders confederacy, were alto
gether too much for him.
He suddenly wheeled around
and by his pretended conversion be-
trayed and misled thousands of
southern men, who had implicit faith
in his integrity. When the war was
near its close, Stephens was among
the first of the southern leaders to
show the white feather. 1t is to be
hoped Congress will, when he knocks
at their door, advise him to return to
that retirement to which by right,
such Infamous characters belong.

The Louisiana muddle Il

The louisiana muddle is getting
worse again. The Senate, after pa
tient Investigation, was apparently
ready to remand the whole subject
to the legal voters of that State, by
declaring both of the present State
governments void, and ordering a
new election. And now comes the
Presidents message informing that
body that unless they shall other
wise decide, the Executive Depart,
ment will continue to uphold the
Kellogg-Pinchbeck State government.
This will force the Senate TO
arrive at a positive decision at once,
otherwise the middle will grow
deeper.

pHE destruction by fire yesterday
of the Marshal House of Alexandria,
where the gallant Ellsworth was
assassinated for pulling down the
secession flag, removes another his
torical relic of the great shareholders
rebellion. The bloody death of
Ellsworth fred the northern heart
o than any other cause, the
firing on Sumpter alone excepted, and
the scene where this dastardly muir
der was perpetrated has been visited
by thousands of patriots. The bullet
SCARED walls of the Marshal House
for ever thereafter bore the indelible
evidences Of the terrible indignation
and bloody revenge of Ellsworth's
zouaves, when they found their CON-
mander had been so ruthlessly slain.
The Marshal House has finally Joined
the victims that fell beneath its
single roof twelve years ago. Peace
to its ashes.

Especial correspondence to the Omaha Bee.
q FROM THE
LINCOLN, Feb. 9.

LINCOLN, Feb. %.
A marked change is noticeable in
the manner of doing business at the
Capitol, for the past few days. Very
little fillibustering, and an apparent
desire to expedite legislation, and dis
pose OF the vast accumulation of bills
on hand, before the session shall come
to an end. Thursday, the 9th, has
beeen fixed upon in the House for
adjournment, but the Senate has not
yet concurred, and if possible to keep
the members, will probably hold on a
day or two longer. The general
appropriation bill was the subject of
discussion in the House yesterday,
and occupied the entire day. A
large number of claims were also
considered relating to the
constitutional convention, the
impeachment trial, and for printing,
&c. The house seemed possessed with
an inordinate desire for retrench,
ment, and the motion to strike out
seemed the rule rather than the ex.
ception. General Estabrook had a
claim for legal advices in the i'm.
parchment trial, amounting to 5000.
The House took q summary way of
paying the same. A resolution was
carried to credit the amount to him
as part payment for DELINQUENT
TAXES. Towle did it with his little
pen. The Republican printing COM
pany had claims amounting to over
$4,000 for public printing. A motion
was made to strike out, and a vocif-
erous "aye" was heard from all parts
Of the House. The position
OF the paper on the question of the
constitution, probably had something
to do with this result. There is no
question, but that the House voted
agains. claims without any regard to
the obligations of the State.
The Senate refused to endorse the
House bill relating to James county,
and amended, making the name of
the county Furnas, instead and sent
1t back to the House for concur.
renee.
GETTING WISE.
Now that the lobby interest has
completed its business, and success
fully Unanswered their little schemes,
both Houses have been struck with
wisdom, and have passed a resolution
excluding all persons from the floor,
but members, State officers and the
press. "Lock the barn door after the
horse is stolen"
Both houses held an evening yes.
sion and disposed of a large amount
of business. A large delegation of rail.
road men on hand, but they are COM
paratively easy; no arbitrary legisla,
ton concerning railroads will be en-
t%ertained, but the bill providing for
a railload commissioner to investigate
and report at the next legislature,
will PROBABLY pass.

The Republicans not Party of Reform.

There must be something wrong when Re-
publican paper speaks of its own party as the
Monroe wisconsin, Republican does. That
paper speaks out boldly and says, 1--WE are I'M
able to see how any white man can lend his
aid to party whose doctrines, Wherever car
ried out, have proved so hurtful to the best
interests Of the people, Read what the Re
publican says:
It is not in the nature OF the Republican,
party to be party of reform, but the reverse.
II is the party not Of simplicity and economy
in government, but of show, grandeur, ex-
travagance and power. The Republican party
demands, by its nature, tie multiplication Of
Offices and Of high salaries for officials Ii
favors monopolies aud special privileges and
class legislation by which wealth may have
increased advantages over labor. 1t can never
be party Of reform.
With the advent of the Republican party to
power and the consequent carrying out Of
system Of political principles entirely opposed
TO those by which the country had so long
prospered, q great and notable change has
come over the land, A spirit of discomfort
and depression has token bold of the people;
instead of dignity and purity in high public
places the public honor is bartered away for
| fast horses and cottages by the sea onerous
taxes are laid upon the people at large, while
those who invest their surplus in government
bonds are exempted from public dues upon
| such surplus. Each day sees the rich grow
ing richer and the poor poorer. The cause
/ for all this is easy to discover it is the fatal
| influence of the odious doctrines of the Republic
can party that produces this result. 'By
their fruits We shall know them - and Judging
the Republican party by the bitter fruits of
the last twelve years, we are unable to see
how any white man can lend his aid to a
party whose doctrines, wherever carried out,
have prove SO hurtful to the best interest OF
| the people.

REv. DR. MuSsEY-We have been inform
ed, aad our information comes from a very
reliable source, that Rev. DR.. Munsey, whose
reported unfortunate mental condition has
been alluded to in our columns, appeared be-
fore the Holstein Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church south, in session at Marion,
last week, and having satisfied the conference
of his restoration 10 health and perfect capa-
bility for the discharge Of bis ministerial du-
ties, he was requested to preach in that place
on Sunday evening. He complied with the
request, and delivered an able and impressive
sermon ton very large audience. This intel
lgence is very gratifying TO us, and we feel
confident II will be gladly received by the ma
ny friends Of this able divine, wherever his
name and eminent services in the Christian
ministry are known.-Lynchbarg Virginidn.

Thus speaks the Lynchburg Virginian about
independent candidates
"Giye no encouragement 10 Independents, ;
so-called, but drivethem OFF the track. Let
il be understood in all the counties, that, in
this struggle with Radicalism, no political
guerillas will be tolerated in our party, and
those who do not fight with us, in our ranks,
under our regularly chosen leaders and off,
GERS, with the Conservative banner boldly un-
furled over their heads, are not of us. The
success Of our ticket is vastly more important
to the State at large; to all Of our people; than
the mere qualification of individual aspirations
for Office; and 1t is hoped, therefore, that no
man claiming TO be a Conservative aud imbu-
ed with desire to see the party which con-
tains the moral worth and intelligence of the
State bear rule, will array himself against his
party as those virtually do who oppose them
selves to the regularly nominated candidates
Of the party. Let us concentrate our whole
strength on the candidates of the party, and
thereby win such a victory as will crush for
ever the hopes Of the Radicals in Virginia."
