On the 18th inst, the Lincoln Jour
nal being authority, little girl sat
upon the steps of the High School
building, sat upon the cold, stone
steps of the High School building.
She was kept there in the dangerous
exposure OF that severe morning by a
law that forbids the opening of the
house until a certain moment. Such
laws are made for the protectin of
property. But property is not of go
much consequence as health or life.
The law is well enough. What the
Lincoln High School building needed
for the protection of the child was q
thoughtful jsnitor. The fact is, they
are trying to get the use of a great
amount of brains for a very small
amount of money in that establish

The Omaha Bee charged Church
Howe, the other day, with being
bribed. Thereupon the Senate took
the matter in hand and informed Mr..
Rosewater that he having charged
one Of its members with a crime.
must retract or produce the proof
Rosewater sent, in answer, note to
the Senate saying he was prepared To
do the latter. Thereupon commit
tee was appointed to investigate the
charge, and to give Rosewater a
chance TO make IL good charge. This
committee has been at work several
days. Each of the parties, Rosewater
and Howe. has a lawyer to cond uct
his side of the case. Gen. Estabrook
supports Rosewater and Mr.. Thurs
ton is trying to get Howe out of the
disreputable scrspe.
We find 1t a diff1crlt matter to get
correct reports of the testimony, the
daily papers OF Lincoln and Omaha,
being so prejudiced one way or the
other as to be utterly unreliable The
Bee is for Rosewater, OF course, while
che Republican is so down" on him
that it does not give full, nor true re-
ports. The State Journal being az
raid to report anything unfavorable TO
Howe, and being also an unrelentiDg
enemy of Rosewater, we get nothing
and expect nothing from it at all
worthy of eredence. This We know
from reliable sources.
The way It looks to us now, there
will be failure to convict Howe eX-
cept by strong differences reasonably
deduccd from the evidence and style
OF the Investigation. For instance,
Mr.. Barker, Patrick's brother-in-law,
through whose hands Patrick's brlbe
money was disbursed, when asked di-
Ieetly whether Howe bad received
bribe as charged. refused to GaSu0er
the question, basing his refusal on the
ground that to do so would criminate
himself. Then Hon. John r. Porter,
on the stand, said he had talked with
Mr.. Barker about Patrick brlbipg
Howe, but when asked what Barker
said about it, the question was object
ed to by Howe and the committee
sustained The objection. So were sew
eral other witnesses stopped on the
same technical grounds. This way
of managing the case makes il impos-
eible 70 arrive at the facts direct.
Howe seems aware that If be es-
capes the penalty which might be in
fiicted by the Senate, it must be a
technicaIescspe, hence he makes haste
to object to a free and open investiga-
ton, such as an innocent man would |
invite.

REPRESENTATIVE HALL.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 81, '7I.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser:
In the ADVERTISER of the 25th ist.
&c is asserted that the Senator from
Nemaha had sold the Nemaha dele
cation to Senator Hitchcock and re-
fers TO Evan and Frerichs to prove 1t.
Therefore in simple justice TO Senator
Howe and his constituents we would
say that the imputation Is without
foundation in fact and that it origin
ated In the mind Of evil and design
ing men who are always ready to cor
ruDt the minds of the people. Yours
Resneetfully, ]. G. EVAN,
JOHN FRERICHs.
The above, We presume, is in re-
anonse TO the following paragraph
which appeared In THE ADVERTISER
of the 25th:
"fust how near the Senator from
Nemsha came to complying with the
-,snnlatiops of his contract 10 turn
ovar the entire Nemaha delegation to
senator Hitchcock. Is yet an open
ouestiop. Ask Evan and Frericns.
twill be observed that we appealed
Nebraska advertiser., 1877-02-08

to Representatives Evan and Frerichs
as witnesses that the Senator from
Nemaha did not torn them over to
Hitchcock. Their testimony corrob-
crates our position. We were quite
sure, as was all others acquainted with
them. that they were honorable gen.
tlemeD, who could not be manipulate
ed, handled or traded on the Senate
rial or any other question. by the Sen
ator from Nemaha or any one else
That on all questions coming before
them for consideration, they would
act In accordance with convictions of
duty and honor.
What 1.-The Senator from Nemaha"
did pledge, agree, stipulate, promise,
or contract to do with the "entire del
egation from Nemahs" on the Sena-
tcrial question; or how many tears he
shed; or how many hours sleep be
lost; or to what extent be was pro-
voked, vexed, worried. harrassed,
peFplexed and troubled, because the
"entire Nemaha delegation" did not
vote with him for Senator Hitchcock
on tie only test vote in the Senatori-
al contest, and how nearly he behaved
himself like a gentleman bovine with
an abbreviated narrative in fly season.
by reason of his finally being cOnpell-
ed to go to EVAN and Freriehs instead
of they coming to him. is another
question entirely. We beg respect
fully to suggest. that perhaps others
than the Nemsha delegation knoa0
more on these particular points than
they.

was the only witness. He testified he
was here with Patrick during the
Senatorial election two years ago
that Mr.. Howe was frequent visitor
TO his room, discussed the chances of
Patrick's election. To questions con-
cerning disbursements of money by
by Patrick, witness declined to answer
fearing to criminate himself. The
questions were not pressed. Mr..
