THE SAFEST INVESTMENTS. 80 The great havoc
which the recent financial depression, OF three years
continuance, has wrought among investments of
almost every class is attracting more and more the
attention of thinkers Well of practical men, 1t
is curious enough that of all kinds OF investors in
this country those which have suffered least are the
only ones about whom there has been much clamor
lately-the insurance companies, and especially
those concerned with life insurance. These compa-
NAMES have a great many millions Of dollars of The
peoples money put away in investments which IRE
regarded as permanent. Now while since Septem-
ber. 1873, railroads have been suspending dyde"ds
by the score and going into default on their bonts;
while telegraph companies have lost half thar
profts; while manufacturing enterprises in general
have been lowering between bare existence and ut
ter failures while mining corporations have forfeit
ed their credit and prestige; and while private bus
ness in almost every mercantile branch has been at
least decimated by bankruptcy the whole amount

DEMOCRATIC MOVE.

An INJUNCTION ASKED FOR RESTRAINING TIE RE-
iUnIICAN ELECTORS FROM MEETiNG-SPECIAL
SESSION OF TnE LEGISLATURE.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 3.-Thc Democratic Electors
yesterday presented n petition to Judge Savage OF
the District Court which prays that perpetual in
junction be granted 10 restrain the Republican
electors from meeting and casting their votes for
President The petition states that Cobb, one OF the
Republican electors is ineligible, from the fact tha5
he is a disbursing officer of the United States IN
the constru elton of p0st-oihcc at Lincoln
Neb., aud alleges that the Governor. Secretary OF
State and Attorney General c0nspred To evade ana
defeat the laws Of the State by issuing or causing to
be issued to county clerks envelopes with the al
dress of the Secretary of State thereon. to transmit
therein To him statements of the number OF votes

to carry out said fraudulent design, &c, Informed
said defendants. the Republican electors that they
were elected and that he has certified to their cleo
ton. The court ordered n hearing OF the case on
Monday, Dec. 4, at p. IN.
The Governor has issued a call to the members ol
the last Legislature for an extra session of the Legs
laturc at Lincoln TO meet Dec. for the purpose
of canyassing the electoral vote. Ii is thought that
a quorum will not answer the Governors call. Many
of the Senators are absent and others cannot De

LEY IELEGRAPH To THE TRIBuNE.l

SPECIAL SESSION or TIE LEGISLATURE UNABLE TO
HELP MATTERs-wHAT THE LAW Is
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNg.l
WAsHINGTON Dec. 3.-The complication as TO the
Nebraska electoral vote will not necessarily be set
tied by the assembling of the Legislature on Mon
day. The Legislature has been called by the special
telegraphic request of the Acknowledgement for the
purpose, as was understood of curing the defect in
the law relative TO the time within which the cleo
toral vote should be counted Under the present Jaw
technically the electoral vote could not be canyassed
until January when the Legislature meets. This
WAS the case four years ago when the last electoral
vote was counted At that time the Governor can
vassed il rs he proposed to do nOw and no objection
was made. The Attorney General, however, was
concerned lest tcchnicalites might be urged against
the validity of such count and desired the Le gls-
lature cOny ened that law might be passed author
izing the count of the vote the 9th of December
by the Legislature. Ii happens, however, that at
the last election new Constitution adopted in
Nebraska. That Constitution while providing that
the present Legislature should not count until Jan
uary, also provided that no new law could be passed
after the adoption of the Constitution except on
three days notice in each House. In other words,
that 10 law could be passed until the end of the
sixth day from the time the Legislature convened.
The point is now raised that although the present
is the Legislature elected under the old Constitution,
it is bound as to making new law, by the six day
provision of the new Constitution that in fact n
law authorizing the Legislature TO canvass the votes
before January cannot be constitutlOnaly passed
until six days from tomorrow
This point IL made by Nebraska lawyers here If
il is sustained the calling together of the Legisla-
turc by the Governor will be nugatory. as that body
win not be able under the Constitution of tnat state
TO canvass the vote before January. or to enact a
law permitting it be canyassed prior to the 9th OF
