L) THE OMAHA BEE. SIXTH YEAR. OMAHA, NEB, MONDAY, JANUARY 8. 1877.-DAILY EDITION. NO. 175. LINCOLN. An Animated Dcbate Over News- papers. Three Hundred Dollars Worth of Time Comsumed in Discussing 2 Two Hundred Deliar Appropriation. of The Bee. HoUSE—FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Lincoln, January 6.—The Demo- crats had been rocked to sleep to their own tune of ¢Canvass the vote,” when the House adjourned until half-past one. Prior to the reading of the message by the Gov- ernor’s secretary, & resolution pro- viding that *‘the Secretary of Btate be instructed to farnish each mem- ber of the House with ten copies of dsily papers, to be selected by the members,”” was offered. It came up for final action this afternoon The entire afternoon was occupled in the discussion of this question, and many things, both grave and witty, were spoken. Kwen, of Nemaha, objected on the ground that such an acten the part of the house would be uncon- onal. 2 BmG“ltl:son, of Douglas wanted to in- sert four, instead of ten. He weould vote against the resolution in any form, but if the house would adopt one ot two evils, he favored the least. Neville, of Douglas, insisted that on constitutional grounds, the house had no right to pass such a resolu- tion. No perquisites were allowed save mileage and perdiem. It only remaiued for members to interpret the meaning of the word perqu.s- ites. He also delighted _hls friends by stating that at oae time be had been & membe: of the Illino’s legis- ht(‘}l::i'ghwn expected to be elassed with the penurious members of the legislature, but if membels were bound to have newspapers he wanted the lowest sum. He looked at it as voting nt:)ney into the pock f the members. etss:dler considered it for the ben- efit of his constituents. They should know what their representa- tives were doing, and many of them were not able to subscribe for rs. p.melen, of Butler, wanted to know the custom of former legislatures. The Bpeaker stated that the last legislature allowed 20 copies Lo eacn ember. mfinvo-x, of Furnas, suggested that the 1ast legislature did many illegal Notwithstanding the old custom, Allen was still opposed to the reso- lution on constitutional grounds. This gentlemon declsimed against the resolution with great animation. Mr. Small was in favor of the resolution, and Fkoped the Demo- eratic members would be successful in “making a record.” Walters, of Dixon, was sarcastic. He represented his constituents,and they thought reading matter a good thing. His constituents did not pay heavy taxes; indeed, many of them were quite poor. He thought it would be a good thng He would take all the newspapers he could get, send them to his constituents, wnd the wealthier portions of the State cou'd pay for them. Then Northrup took hold of the question. He expounded the Constitution, and talked about the Roman Emperors. He would lize to send a newspaper to every one of his constituents. He thought that without newspapers his constituents would be like the Romans whose Emperor pasted his edicts so high that the people could not read them. Andrew Johnson never de- fer:icd the Constitution with more enthusiasm than did Judge North- rup detend that “glo-ri-ous” instru- ment to-day ; all of which resulted in his favoring the resolution. Moore, of York, said that if the Lemslature would supply every man 1n the State with a newspaper who is unable to pay for one. it would be the best investment the State couid make. He offered an amendment leoking & long way in that direction, but it failed. Wolfe thought the Democrats were carrying out their old policy— that of keeping the people mn igno- rance. Wolfe and reighton in- dulged in shooting a few arrows across the house at each other, but as no apples were hit, I will let the matter pass. Bobbitt, of Cass, wanted his con- stituents to know what he did. Bear introduced a resolution pledging each member to seud the the papers to those o’ their constit- uents who are unabie to subscribe — and it was lost. The original reco lution, calling for ten copies, was at last carried. Harrison, of Hall, introduced a resolution providing that the va rious newspapers represented in ti.e House should be provided with all necessary stationerv. The discus sion had not proceeded far when J. T. Bell, of the Herald, obtained permission of the floor, and declared that such & resolution was not n a-cordance with the wishes ol the press ; be considered it an insult to the papers represented there. The resolution was then voted down A resolution ordering seversl hundred copies of the Governor's message printed, in the English, German, Bohemian, and Scandina- vian tongues, was referrel to a sperial committee. The House then accepted an in vitation to attend the Hon.J.M Woolworth’s lecture before the State Bar Association, and adjourn- ed until 9 o’clock Ssturday morn- ing. GABE. LINCOLN. H<use Proceedings. The Senatorial Race—Hitchcock’s ' Democratic Allianee Con- demned by All Lead- ing Republicans. The Bread and Butter Brigade Te- naclous, but Disconsolate. Correspondence of the Bee. Lincoln, Jan. 5.—All day yester- aay the House was Kept in waiting for the report of the committee on rules. They assembled after din- ner, but immediately adjourned un- til 10 o’clock this morning. They are now in session, and listening to the musical voiee of Zediker, who is engaged in reading the rules. The: e are to be thirty standing com= mittees. The Democracy hasa little dozing to do on the canvass of the vote, and 1t is probable tbec the House wil! waste considerable time in discussing that question. As the house has trausacted no bus- iness a8 yet, there are few real facts to discuss outside of the senatorial issue. Tom Kennard’s alliance witn the Democracy in the Benate day before yesterday, has created quite a little breeze. Iam informed that Messrs, Baird and Griffith pro- nounced this actjof treachery dis- ful in the extreme. Probably such a spectacle as 18 now seen never occurred before n the history of this State. Here is Hitcheock, with a lobby com posed of every federal offi- cer in the Btate of Neoraskr, or nearly so, and 1 & Legislature with over eighty Republican major ity, who ever before heard of an open, undispated coalition with the enemies of the party. Hitchecock has done this, in defiance of all ruies of party or decency, and expects and hopes to be elce.cu vy republi- can votes. The resolution offered by Mr Spickwell, that the Legislature showd canvass the vote of the exee- utive officers of thns State, came up this morning. Speaker Nance ruled the resolution out of order, on the grounds: 1st, That he as speaker, had received notice that such votes were to be canvassed ; 2d, That the records of the last house showed that said votes had been canvassed; 3d, That the house is bound to take judicial notice of the canvass, and the fact that the present list of « ffi- cers had beensworn in.

New York, January 8.—Intimate friends of James Gordon Bennett say it is unquestionably a fact that Fred May has already recelved from Bennett an inviwation to a hostile meeting—probably in Canada---or that it is understood between the two that sueh a message 1s to be sent and received. sennett is out of the city. It is understood he asked General Bichard Taylor, son ex-president Taylor, and a gentle man thoroughly conversant with such affairs, to act as his friend, and Taylor who has been lately stayiug in Washington has consented to perform that service. Fred May, accompanied by his cousin, named Fred K. May, of Baltimore, left the city last night The latter came from Baltimore on Wednesday night and stopped at Glenhall, where a consultation was held ye:sterday between the cousin and Fred May’s father, Wm. M. During the consultation Mi. manifested considerable agita.iow. The cousins left the city shortly af- terwara, and, it is stated, took a northward bound train. If a hostile meeting takes place, it will be in Canada, possibly rear Island Pond. A FALSE RFPORT. New York, January 6.—It was reported last week that Coles S. Morris, & well known lewyer, was a defaulter. This was denied by a card published by Billings & Co., his business associstes, 1t was sta ted by his physicians that he was suffering from mental derangement. 1tnow appears he fs a dcfaulter, having misappropriated trust fun.is amounting to a large sum. He ad mits his mental abberation as only a subserfuge to enable him as far as possibie to settle the matter. The facts in the case appear to be as fol lows: . The three orothers C>'« " rrix, Andrew and Benj. C. Morris, heirs to Coles estate and trusteees of the other heirs, Mrs. Echolling and Robert Webb, a minor, has two brothers, dying Coles becomes trus- tee of the entire estate, consisting of valdable real estate in New York and Jersey City, the reyenues of which amount to between $400,~ and 500,000 The Hollings e-taie is under wo lose Leavily, but Morris is making settl'ments so far asin his power, having transferred his residence on Fifth #venue and other real estate to Mrs. Hollings. The amount misappropriated is estimat cdat a half a m’lhon dollars, COME INTO COURT. A special from Po:tland, Oregon, says: Geo. C. Cole, postmaster at Portland has been subpeened to ‘Washington to testify before the congressional cominittee on Watts- Cronin affairs.

He,came to this city sur- rounded by the musi adyerse cir- cumstances, and those very troubles had led bim into the vresence of those who called his attention to his spiritual needs. He saw how destitute Lie was spiritually, and b= sought and tound divine pardon and aid. He had since found a happi- ness and a peace he had never Enown before, and he had seen many others possessing this same peace and happiness, Day by duy his faitb and his determination to press forward increased.” Macreaay, tne grea uctor, said that one of the most disagreabie features of theatrical lite, was the necessity ef an hour or so spent in washing off stage paint eyery night. If he had used B. T. Babbit's Best Soap, the result would bave been accomplished in a very few min- utes.

Utah Mining Districts Extraordinary Frll of Snow. Terrible Snow Slides in the Uan- yons, Resulting in Great Loss of Life. Men, Women and Children Buried Alive—Horses Covered and Crushed Down With Snow. Rieh Silyer Ore Developments— Rapid Change of Ownership in the Flagstaff. of The Bee. Alta, Utah, January 1.—We have been haviug a terrible show storm, the worst since the winter of 1871. It commenced Sunday, the 24th ult., and lasted until the 30th, and n tne Wahsatch range, especially in the canyons of the Cottonwoods, that means snow-shdes; and we have been getting them with & vengeance. The first was on the 26th, when the trestle work and part of the black- «mith shop near the new boarding house of the Iris tunnel were faken away. Next comes the reports of two slides down the canyon, taking away the shed of the W. &J.V Tramway in two places. And on . .day evening news came thattwo men, Cherles Stanti: i and L uis Labrie, Frenchmen, were caught in a slide at the Beaufort mine, on the side of Bald Mountain, about tw. miles from town. It wasafter dark when the news came, but your cor- repondent started with a party o men to get them out. We found | taac ¢ e 1o Hf of their cabin had bevu i -3y Cadshiug them unaer 1 - #now. Labrie was four.a lying in his bunk partly undressed, and to all appearance had never moved. Stantini was binding over him, his hands raised ever his hesd as if he had heatd it and started up trying to save himself. They were both well known here a:d respeci ed. Saturday night two slides came down from the mountain on the south side ot the town, one crossing the main street at the low- er end, and only a few rods from the houses. The other not reaching the street at the upper end. Two slides are also reported on the Big Cotton- wood eide of the range, near the Reed & Benson muine, one taking away .a portion of the tramway shcd near the boarding” hiouse, and one bresking in tke door of the lower ore house. Except the ixen mentioned above th-re aie no re ports of lives being lost. A. A. Jackson, a prominent -a- loon keeper of Alta, and who has lately had a lease on the Yankton Blade mine, left here on the 20th to go to Salt Lake, to make a sale of ore, taking, with him about $1,600 worth of time checks belonging to himsel; and partner, which he had cashed at Salt Lake, and sold the ore for about §4,000, and on the 23d he left Nalt Lake for Ogden, and has not been heard from since. Some of the wen wno have been working for him, have not hud any pay for three mouths, and should he not be found, or the mo- ney recovered, the greater portion o the loss will fall on laboring men Mr. Jackson was well known and liked here, and almost every one had confidence in him. The Flagstaff, one of the largest aud best mines, changed hauds, or rather management qu'‘e suddeniy afew days ago The stockholders reside in England, and through some mismanagement of the par- ties here who were in charge, the mine was run in debt, and it passed into the hands of the creditors until such time as the mine could be made o pay ils iudebledness. The parties holding it have been taking out and shipping large amounts of ore, and 1t is claimed,have not only recovered the amount due them,but have been getting wealthy out of it. A few days ago, Mr. A G. Huater, one of the largest owners in Eng land, arrived in Salt Lake with full power to act for the other stockhold- ers, und remaining in that city only 24 hours came up here withan attorney and the U 8. M:rshal, ard stopping only to make out necessa- ry papers, proceeded immediately to the miue, took them by surprise and obtained possession. Itis said there are immense bodies of ore in sight and it isregarded as one of the best mines in the Territory. The Reed and Benson, South S:ar and Titus, Grizzly, Prince of Wales, and the Wellington, have all be=n takiug out large quauntities of ore, but on sccount of the bad weather have 1ol been abl: to shin. Shou!d the v eather et settled so our pack ers and teamsters can work, t.e coming month will be & busy time fyr them, and will show the largest shipment o! ore ever made from our camp in the same length of time Doo Had just mailed this letter when report came that the boarding house at the Wellington mine, a large two-story house, two mlies from town, had been buried in s snow shde and six persons killed A party of men have started up there. 9 o’clock p. m.—Men have re- turned and report forty feet of snow where the house stood. The rool was taken off by the glide and car- ried 300 ‘eet up the hill, the other side of the gulch. They dug down twelve feet in the snow and run down iron rods twelve feet more, and could not reach any part of the house. A large party will go up again to-morrow aud iy to find the bodies. The persons known to have been in the house are J. W Brown, John Varco, J. B. White, and John W. Parks and his wife and little girl. Will send further when the party returns.

Crook’s Indian campaign, we of the Wust, can better apprecia‘e and understand the almost insurmount- able obstacles and difficulties that General Crook and his eommand had to coutend against and over- come. If Eustern papers would show a little more knowledge of the geography and topography of the region they so learnedly (?) talk about, it would be more to their credit. Gen. Crook’s e=mpa gu ex. tended over and through Wyoming, Montana and Dakots, and when we reflect that Dakota contains 221,- 000 square miles, Montana 173,000 «nd Wyoming 110,000 square miles, it gives us some conception of the magnitude and extent of the marches and countern’irches that his command had to make to eituer overtake or entrap the wily enemy. Here is a military theatre of 504,000 <quare miles, a trifls larger thsn Austria and Prussia, and o' about 3,000 troops of all brauches to guard it and meet the foe thereupc 1. i would tax the military skill of a Von Moltke or the genius of Napo- lzon the First to meet the contin- gencies of the ‘situation,”” with sueh meagre and in- adequate materials and means‘ as were placed at the disposal of Gen. Crnok for the prodiguous work to be don¢; and the only wonder is that the gallant General has been able to accomplish as much as he has already The power o’ Bioux and Cheyennes, is certainly broken forever, and a summer eamp ign will give the Indian war the final coup de grace Ail houor and praise say !, where boih wre due, and so well erited. Business still coutinues biisk, while the travel to the Bilack Hills is on the increase, Botv ithstanding the recent hesvy snow storm Church revivals, so- ‘iables, ba'ls and private parties is the orde: of the day j: st now.
