The contest over the election OF a
L. S. Senator for this State has
nearly always been a source of much
annoyance and expense, to say moths
ing worse of it. At times it has
been charged and very generally
believed that money was freely aud
corruptly used to purchase the votes
of legislators. However this may
be, true or untrue, no one can deny
the fact that at session when a
senator was to be elected, every
other interest has been sadly neg
lected time was wasted, money was
wasted, and everything in the line
of legitimate legislative work suff-
cred because of the unnatural con-
test over senator. 1t was mainly
these facts that led to the adoption
of a clause in the constitution of
1875 for vote Of preference by the
people, and the passage of law by
the last legislature, in furtherance
of that provision this viz:
"At the general election imne-
"diately preceding the expiration of
"the term of a United States senator
"from this state, the electors shall by
"ballot express their preference for
"some person for the office of United
Estates senator. The votes to be
"canvassed and returned in the
"manner hereinafter provided"
The JOURNAL advocates compli-
ance with this law, upon the general
grounds limited above. 1t will re-
move a source of annoyance, and, as
generally believed, of corruption;
it will take out of the usual duties
of Legislators greatly disturbing
element, for it is well known that
Legislative" trading, log-rolling and
contracting" during senatorial"
sessions, are mostly done on senate
rial aspirations it will place in the
hands of the people, where it most
properly belongs, the choice of their
representatives in the upper house
of congress.
The first statement heard by the
advocates of this law is that the
General Assembly are not legally
obliged to second the preference
thus expressed by the people; in
answer to which it may be said that
right-minded legislators would feel
themselves obligated, by every hon.
orable impulse, to complete the
peoples will by technical legislative
enactment We have not space this
week to further argue the question.
but we believe that the representa-
tives would, in this case, be just as
honorable as presidential electors
have been. In the whole history of
our government down to the present
time, we believe there is not single
instance on record where an elector
betrayed the trust reposed in him,
by voting contrary to the expressed
desires of the people by whom he
was chosen, although he was under
no legal obligation to vote for the
men named on his ticket; and is it
to be presumed that Nebraska leg
islators are the lowest order of po-
litical agents! Let the voting by
the people. take place, and we have
faith enough in Nebraska men to
think that they will be as honorable
and as politically wise, as have been
the presidential electors from the
beginning.

A VERY NICELY ARRANGED CHRIST
MAS OFFERING.-No hotel is more widely
OF favorably known than the ''McCurdy
House" at Covington, and no hosts more
kindly remembered by their guests than
the Misses McCurdy. The Richmond
dispatch says the conductors on the
East and West divisions of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway on Christmas day made
two handsome presents to them. The
East division conductors, consisting of
Captain J. E. Fitz, W. G. Moody. J. E
Smith. W. W. Anderson and J. w. Han
cock, presented the ladies with an elegant
set of parlor furniture, while the West
division conductors, consisting of Captains
P. T. Cason, l.. C. Anderson, J. T. Thigh
man, W. NJ. Bryan and R. K. Rice, gave
them silver water pitcher and waiter,
four silver goblets, and silver bowl, de-
signed for the parlor centre-table.
The affair too, was very nicely managed.
The furniture was sent up on the express
train from Richmond, and during the
night one of the conductors having charge
of the arrangement got several hands
quietly took the furniture from the car
ard put it in the parlor without disturbing
any of the household The silver set had
arrived the same night from the West
and that was put upon the table in the
centre Of the furniture, and the presents
appropriately marked with cards. Christ
mas morning the ladies were considerably
taken by surpris when they found wha
valuable offerings the parlor contained fo
them.
