no action will be asked of, or taken by

mediate hisAcrain, it never "became evident that no

printer could be elected." There is always in all Legislatures more or less!

strife in regard to the election of public

printer; and to claim exemption for theNebraska Legislature would be nonsense.under these circumstances, owinar to

the fact that the Governor had, convened

an extra session of the Legislature in or--

der to enact much needed laws, a major- -

ty of the members and we among

that number were not disposed to wrangle at the commencement over any subject

not intimately connected with the inter-

ests of a constituency at large; thereforewere willing to merely concede, or passundisputed for the time, and until allportant matters were disposed of, Mor-

ton's claim to control the printing.A democrat, as we have before said,

could at any time have been elected onoint ballot.

In regard to the Bank Charter in theCouncil, we call on the Nebraskian forproof that the Bank Bill could have received over one vote. ' Was not that Bill on itsfirst reading indefinitely postponed, withbut one dissenting vote that o' Mr.Scott, its introducer? Was it not againbrought up by motion of Mr. Doan? Af-

ter it was again before the Council, did

not Mr Morton write a letter, to which DrMiller, of Omaha, subscribed, stating thatwhatever he (Dr. Miller) might seeming

ly do in the matter was really for thepurpose of ferreting out corruption?Wa not this letter sealed and placed inthe hands of Governor Richardson for

safe keeping, and to be called for if need-

ed as evidence to exculpate Dr. Miller ?

(Justice to Governor requiresit to be said, that he knew nothing of the

contents of this letter, or what was on

foot.) Did the evidence before the com-

mittee show that any other member of

the Council save Dr. Miller of Omaha,and Mr. Dundy of Richardson, had been

improperly approached ? Wras there any-

thing connected with the consideration of

that Bank Bill which indicated that in

the form in which it was introduced itcould have had even one rote? Come

down to your work Mr. ; thepeople cf Nebraska are tired of such

continued assertions made without anyfoundation.

No journal, or individual that we know

of, except the Jfehrasleian and Neves havebeen disposed to parade this "bribery and

corruption" matter before the public, and

we should have thought a proper regard

for the roisfcrtunes of some of theirwould have hidnced them to practice "dis-

cretion as the better part of valor." Wewould not notice it were there not an at-

tempt made by those journals to evadecensure, and cast it where it does netproperly belong.

celebrating the glorious triumph of theDemocracy of Illinois. Cannons are firing, bells are ringing, and bonfires areblazing in honor of the great standard- -

bearer of the Democracy of the Union,S. A. Douglas.

From Egypt....m r .'iwo or tne most iamou3 counties inthat enlightened and unterrified Democratic district, have sent' in their returnsas fodows:

Rep. Dem.Franklin county, 9 974Johnson county, 7 1135

Total, 16 2109Now this is something like voting, al-

though we find that the Republicans havegained five in Johnson since 1856. Fre-mont got two votes in the county.

Arkansas Senator.On Tuesday of last week Wm. K. Se-bast- in

was unanimously nominated forUnited States Senator by the Democraticmembers of the Arkansas Legislature.His opponents in the convention on thefirst ballot were General Hempstead, Dr.Dean of Washington, and Mr. Pe?kinsof Sebastian county; who all withdrewbefore the second ballot,' when Mr. Se-

bastian received the unanimous nomina-tion of the caucus. The election in theLegislature was fixed for the day follow-ing, when we suppose, he was re-elect- ed

to the United States Senate for the termof six years.
