Appay at A amt Beveateenta - THE NEW YORK MORNING FDITION—M Gispute, centred, of course, ia: theee two branches; and not until a ate hour today cou'd'anything like an organization be effected. The Territory, as all know, ia divided im interest by the Platte river; and whilst the census returns show a majority of residents south, the mejor representation, by some singular procedure, is placed north of thot river. ‘The conflict of interest and sentiment, therefore, will cause rather astormy session. | trust; for toe well being and’generalinterest of this fair prairie land. of ours, it may be otherwise. ‘The result of the organization in both branches is as follows:-- Jn the Council, J. L. Sharpe, of Rickardeon county, was unanimously elected President of that body; G. L, Miller, of Douglas county, Secretary; 0. F. Lake, of Forney county, Assistant Secretary; §. A. Lewis, of Douglas county, sergeant at-arms, and N. Fulsom, of Burt county, doorkeeper. In the House, A. J. Haneoom, of Douglas county, was elected Speaker; Mr. Paddock, Chief Clerk; G.8. Eayre, of Cass county, Second Clerk; J..L. Gibbs, of Pierce county, sexgeant-at-arms, and & B. Thompeon, of Richardson county, doorkeeper. In the temporary organization, J. M. Latham offi. ciated as Speaker of the House, and H. P. Bennett as President of the Council. Much contention oc- curred, and fears were apprehended—and, indeedy these fears are still in existence—that a completo system of disorganization will prevail. In the Coun cil chamber # strong opposition of the acting (over. nor’s movements prevailed to a greater extent than inthe House. The oath of office, as administered by him prior to the detivery of his able addreas, was not taken by a number from beth houses, who jointly as sembled for the purpose, and one of the Judges of the Supreme Court was called in to administer the oath in a different and more satisfactory manner. In the Council, for a season ‘the mirth and fun grew fast and turious,”’ and the acting Governor stepping aside from his official duty, was upon the floor called to | ordér by the Presiaent pro tem., aad he in return, forgetting in the general tamult which prevailed his duties, harangued the members and audience with a | vituperation unparalleled. The day was spent in both houses ina degree of ta- | mult—a testing of strength of loealitice—a feeling | for leadership amongst the contestants—an apparent — cazeleseness for the general good—a “ go it, Bob- tail.” Contestants for seats claimed the floor and | refused to yield. The lobbicx sometimes joined the cry, and dear bought popular sovereignty seemed for a time below par. it was a bloodless war of words between the North and. Scuch of the Platte, | with a slight dispisy of inclination to carry it at the | risk of burning powder. In actition to the leading | sectional warfare, a species of guerilla war party, | composed of anti executive and executive favurites, | Joined the fight. Taking 1t ali together the day was | ne of interest, and lorg to be remembered. Avove | all this scene of strife, from a substantial hickory pole projecting through the trap door of the tempo rary capitol building, floated the stars and stripes of our native land, and when the susttera hearts, fe- vered oy the tumult within, sought the pure air without doors, and gazed aloft upon that flag which had ficated triumphant cver fiercely contosied tields and boocdy decks, the sentinel upon the neart’s watchtower sung cheer ily cut the timely watchword that all was well. To-day both houses effected the thor ugh organi” zation before referred to. A few comaittees were appointed, but yet work bids fair to move slowly, Resolation upon resolution was laid upon the tabie, simply because a bare minority happened to iatro- duce them. No rules of order for the goverument of either body yet being permanently udopted, tne bedies eccasionaily work badly. A few days, and the wheels will move more easily, for better or ‘worse. Most of the members are entirely oblivious of le gislative procedure, yet preseut for our frentier land a far better appearance than many, remote, expe:t. Occanionally, it is true, the butt of a revolver or baft of a bowie-knife may be seen peering out fron #ome member's coat, but as yet they remain at the belt. The States are generally represented. New York, from the vicinity of Attica and elsewhere, is weil represented in the Council; so 1s Penasylvania, Scuth Carolina, and Alabama. Backeyes, Hoosiers, Wolverines, Suckers, Yankees, Constructionists, enti Bentonians, Nebraska and anti-Neprasks de- mocrate (a slight predominance of the former, how- over), and all portions of this conglomerative Uuion are here. The permanent lovation of the capitol will be a vitality into both bodies-of the event this deponent | myeth not. So, also, will the subject of contes'ed seate. In reviewing the intense feeling which per- vaded the entire Territory prior to the first day's session, when the organization was effected, the contention did not exceed my expectations, and yet ' dsrk clouds sppear in the political horizon of Ne- Our Pee wach wanted, and high! eu peeded.
