The ANNOUNCEMENT Is made that
hotel cars are to be put on the Union
Pacific railroads. The change can
not be made any too soon to please
the travelling public, for it is said that
with the exception of one or two
places, a person cannot obtain o
good meal betReen OMAHA and
Ogden. the eating house at the latter
point being the best on the rca1.
While making this necessary improve
ment, another Of equal import
ance, would be hailed with delight by
the public, namely a reduction of the
price OF sleeping car berths. The
sleeping Car has become almost d
necessity to the American traveller,
but it is & necessity that only the few
can afford to obtain On the great
transcontinental railroad.

RABBIr VALLEY, PUTE Co..
January q, 1850.
Editors Herald:
Thinking perhaps some of your
many sensible readers would ike to
hear from this iEolatsd region, take
my Faber to shove of a few lines.
The health of the people is remark
ably good. The valley has been
covered from from two to ten inches
with 1.-The beautiful" for seyen weeks,
a thing heretofore unknown. Though
the cold has not been unusually
severe, the stock suffer greatly and
many have died. Times are very
dull. We have a mining district and
some prospects but at present every
thing is IN StGtu quo. We expect q
boom soon, however, if in nothing
else, the river which is completely
filed with ice. We have two school
housee in course of erection and two
small schools running. We have q
lyceum which is very slimly at
tended. The people here do not
take a very decided interest ID
education. a we'll known school
teacher opened an evening school
when two pupils presented them
selves. The next evening there was
q dance at the same place and the
house vas literally packed. Our
parties are rather of the zip ysp
order, and are more noted for Hercu-
lean efforts and hoodlumism, than for
decorum and refinement.
There is considerable uneasiness
felt here in regard to the Indians.
The people are scattered, living on
each quarter section and poorly
armed. Twenty-Five miles to the
nearest settlement and they no better
of than US. Since the Whits River
outbreak the Indians have been very |
restless and there are number of
strangers hers-Potato Valley, Corn
Creek, Grass Valley and Navajoee. |
They have had several pow vows
lately in which two or three whites
participated who are reputed az hay
ing an unhealthy friendship for the
Indians, and who in their cups have
declared an outbreak imminent, and
In such event would join them. Some
OF the settlers petitioned Secretary
Schurz for their removal 10 their
reservation. Others are talking OF
organizing the militia end applying
to the government for arms ard am
munltion for protection, while some
attach no Importance to the matter.
There are some we'll known renegade |
Indians here, snd If they are permit
ted to ran Gd. lib. their horses tres
on the settlers crops, etc, if
We escape an Indian difficulty we {
sill be more fortunate than the other 1
,srly settlers in the territories have L
'een, especially when unscrupuloas
white men endesyor to use them TO
observe their own private ends and I
urnish them with bad counsel and

Editors Herald:
My impression ia that Ban Lomond
has "got of on thu wrong foot" again.
January 29;h he says. Il have not
read in the Law and testimony any
such passage as Woe unto you when
women shall rule over you Ben's
memory must be none OF the
brightest, or else he cannot have read
bis Bible carefully. II B. L. will turn
ID Isaiah III, verses 1ltand II be
will find the following, and ne will
leave the public to judge whether the
passage Is substantially as quoted or
not, "Woe unto the wicked, it shall
be III l0ith him for the reward of,his
hands shall be given him. As for my
people, children are their oppresS0rS
and loOmeR rule oUer them. o my
people, those aghich lead ttee cause thee
TO err, AID destroy the l1Iy Of thy
paths" II B. l.. will take the trouble
to read the rest of the chapter he will
find that there Is no thought of giving
the daughters otZion further power,
but that it is proposed 10 take from
them some things now ii their pos
session, viz. their 'cbangeable suits
of apparel. Wimples. and crisping
pins" (whatever they may be. J
Ben Lomood next tells US tia. De-
borah, the wife OF Bapidolh, was o
great woman, and that she slsugh-
tered many thousands, and then their
commander, Sisera, fed to Jael, (how
many a poor fellow has been driven
to Jail here under similar circums,an-
ces.) Now l do not propose 10 stand
in the way of any lady oftice-3eeker
if she is going to slaughter many tEOI-
sands in order to secure tAe position
mot much l woul1 give way-every
time. Poor S!sera I believe he is
now dead.
In regard TO the accusation that 1
tell the ladies to shut uo," taat is
another fGment of the brain. II B. L
will look over his Bible again he will
find that it was st. Paul who spoke,
and that he did not use such harsh
language by any means.
B. L. then becomes anxious to
know what kind of q government We
live under, exClaiming, as it we're,
''Are we breathing the pure air of free
dom or being strsngled by the foetid
breath OF a hellish despotism p l
will give him such information on the
subject az I am in possession OF, cheer
fully. 1t is ssid by the papers that
We are ruled by our wives and our
mothers-in-law. a recently married
editor says: "We ere now living under
an absoluts despotism." Ben Lo-
mond, you are evidently young and
inexperienced AID the Bible is a
large book. l Wolld advise you to
read it more attentiyely than you
have done, and you will not only find
The passages quoted but many other
passages containing a vast
amount of useful information.

On clause 9, giving the military
committee power to bring in spprc-
priations for the support of the army,
Garfield made q speech declaring
against any amendment of the rules
which would strip the appropriation
committee Of its powers OF regulating
all appropriations.
Blackburn said il was poor econ.
omy to distribute all the appropria-
ton bills, for each committee would,
if the history Of these matters was
borne out, increase its own appropria-
ton largely. He also opposed this
distribution.
Whilthorne said he could show that
all the vicious legislation for the past
ten years had originated with the
appropriation committee. (Applause

Randall said he would resist strenu-
ouslg the repeal OF the present rale
which gives the representatives of the
people power, at any time, TO decrease
the expenditures of government.
The debate continued as to where
the practice bad originated of lacking
political legislation onto appropria-
ton bills, practice which, it was
agreed, had caused violent debates.

the democratic party.
Cox, Hswley, Reed aud others con-
.inued the debate. Finally clause 9 |
remained unamended by a vote OF
