Hold Robbery.

One OF the most daring and sue
cessful robberics that has occurred
in this state, took place at Wauhoo
on last Saturday evening. The
agent of the road, Mr.. &. Il. Hender-
son, was still at the depot at 10
O'Clock waiting for the arrival of a
delayed train, and while sitting
there alone two masked men entered
the room, one Of them holding a
cooked revolver in each hand, Or
dered Henderson TO hold up his
hands and gave him just two min
utes to unlock the office safe, which
he did, and from which the robbers
took about 1922 90 aud after lock-
ing the agent in the room made
their escape.
One of the robbers vas about five
feet, ten inches in height, rather
slender, and wore gray Overcoat
which reached nearly to his knees.
The other robber was short, thick
set, and about five feet, four inches
in height. He had on a short gray
overcoat, patched in the lower left
hand corner. A reward of $3.50 was
offered for the capture and convic-
tion of the parties who perpetrated
the deed and for the recovery of the

AFTER the announcement of the
result of the election of Gen. Van
Wyck U. s. Senator, and in response
to repeated vociferous calls the sen
ator elect came forward and deliver
ed the following address:
"MR. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA =
You will believe me when | say that
words can family express the feeling
of gratitude | experience for the
great honor you have done me this
day. 1t is no light honor to be elect
ed a representative i'm the highest
tribunal in the American republic of
sovereign, noble people. 1t is an
honor to represent any state i'm this
Union upon the floor of the United
States senate, and still more so to
represent one of the grandest, young
est and strongest of the sisterhoOd of
states, and | thank you for having
placed me this day in that position.
As state we look upon our present
with qualification, pride and joy, and
when we look at the possibilities of
the future for ourselves as COM
monwealth we may take courage and
feel that the time is not far distant
when this young but growing state
of ours will stand side by side with,
and the peer of, the nOblest and
grandest in the galaxy of states. i
rejoice with you and with the people
of Nebraska that we have gone thro'
the contest, exciting though it was,
with no feeling of bitterness or hos
tility anywhere. Now that the bat
tie is over, though the contest has
been waged resOlutely and with de-
termination, probably in this great
body and in the legislature there is
no unkind or unpleasant feeling in
any direction. We may congratulate
ourselves that this campaign has
been free from that. While ripple
was produced this morning over
little circumstance that transpired, it
is due to me, due TO this legislature,
due TO the commonwealth of Nebras-
ka, due to the judicial mantle which
he has worn so long and hOnOrably,
through so many years, (cries of
good, good, good, and storm of APP
plause,) that in the caucus of the
republican party this afternoon, there
were explanations made in regard to
that matter to prove that there was
no tarnish upon the name, fame or
honor of Judge Dundy. (Tremen-
dous applause 1t was not to be ex-

pected that every candidate could
come out of this contest victorious,
but we have "a right to say that every
candidate has come out with his
houorand integrity unsullied. Stand
ing here to-day looking into the
future, can promise that all / have,
all L am. and all | ever expect to be,
will he devoted to the service of this
state. (Applause.) | pledge to you
an honest purpose, and that is all |
can give you i'll return for this great
honor YOU have this day placed upon
me. Although elected by this great
republican party of Nebraska to-day
| become Il representative of the
state of Nebraska without reference
to party affiliations. Applause
As to the party whose standard bear
er | have become, | will be true to
my work, and | will best discharge
my duty to that party when 1 have
discharged my duty To my state and
my country" Long continued

From Lincoln.

| LINCOLN, Jan. Is, 81.
Quite dramatic scene occurred in
the Senate on Monday afternoon, in
which Senator Van Wyck and Lieu
tenant-GOvernor earns were the
principal actors. The Senate was
considering the contested election
case of Jones VS.. Wells, from Saline
county. Senator Van Wyck had the
floor and had called for the poll
books and ballots, which had been
brought in tin box and deposited
on the desk of the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, rs presiding officer of the
Senate. During the course of Van
| Wyck's remarks he asked the Lieu
tenant-GOvernor TO permit him 10
inspect the contents OF the box, which
was refused: earns ruling that Van
Wyck could not inspect the ballots
and poll books without permission
of the Senate. Thereupon Van Wyck
demanded of the Lieutenant-GOver-
nor if he was going TO rule that
member OF the Senate could not
without consent OF majority be
| permitted 10 see the evidence on
which he was called upon to vote as
to the right of the two claimants to
a seat in that body, and was he going
TO gag the minority ard dragoon
them into retaining the sitting sena-
tor because majority had the phys
ical power TO refuse the inspection
of the evidence and to examine the
ballots to see whom the people of
Saline county had elected. "If such
be your ruling" continued the sena-
tor, turning on the president with
flashing eye, "then | demand the
right as a senator of the state of
Nebraska to inspect the contents of
that box and defy your power, or the
power of majority of this body to
prevent me from hearing and exam
lining the evidence which am called
upon to decide. ! demand it as my
right and the right of every senator
on this floor and | dare you to re-
tuse!" The senator paused for a
reply. The Lieutenant Governor
looked wildly around at the senator
tors for some one to come to his
relief; but no relief came. The SEN
stor from Cass excitedly exclaimed,
GAS understand the chair to rule,
senators On the floor cannot inspect
the evidence on which they are to
decide this case" Other senators
claimed the floor and put similar
questions to the lieutenant governor
when a member read the statute on
the right OF member to see and
examine the evidence and the Lieu
tenant Governor without reversing
his ruling and without a word, and
with the worst possible grace slowly
handed the tin box containing the
evidence TO the defiant senator from
Otoe, amid roar Of laughter from
the members and galleries at the
expense Of the Lieutenant Governor,
and applause for the belligerent
senator from Otoe.
The Columbus journal., 1881-01-26
u. -. Senator.

After. contest of five days, and
on the seventeenth joint ballot, last
Saturday Gen. c. III. Van Wyck, OF
Otoe county, was elected by the two
houses of the Nebraska legislature,
United States Senator from Nebras-
Ia, for the term of six years, COM
mencing on the 4th of March next.
This vote resulted as follows: Gen.
Van Wyck received 6S votes, Mr..
Paddock sc, Judge Kinney 4, and
Governor Nance 4.
Those who are best acquainted
with Gen. Van Wyck unite in the
opinion thet he will make true and
able senator, and that the interests
of the state of Nebraska will not
suffer in his hands. He has some
experience in legislation having
served while living in New York
four successive terms in Congress
and is at the present time member
of the Nebraska senate, where he
has exhibited no mean knowledge
and talent in the application Of par
iiamentary law in the transaction of
business in that body. His election
toierably well settles the custom
which has gained cousideral strength
now that no United States senator
from Nebraska can be elected a
second term. Ii may now be writ
ten that the custom has been fully
established among politicians of
Nebraska, that a senator's term from
this state expires in six years, and
that under no circumstances can he
be reelected.
Upon the whole, we don't know
but what the custom is good one,
especially so far as the rotat ion and
distribution of office is concerned,
their being so many applicants, il
will give a better chance 10 encircle
the political crowd in Nebraska.

The vote for senator in joint con-
vention at Lincoln on the 18th, gave
Paddock forty votes, gaining only
one vote over his former figures.
All guessing as to the final result
seems out of place, but if the demo

ing, should happen to strike that
joint conventions petty factions, il
might let in one ray of light from
the people.

AN anti-Paddock caucus was helC

An anti-PaddOck caucus was held
on the night of the 2lst, at which
forty members pledged themselves
to vote for him under no circum-
stances. There was some trouble at
the Paddock caucus between the
Nance men and the friends of Pad
dock, the former seeking TO bind the
latter TO an agreement by which one
or the other candidate should re-
ceive the full strength of the caucus
throughout the fight. The Paddock
men would not agree to it, and about
twenty Nance men withdrew.
