A Falstafian Blography of the Oma- ha Riota and How They Were Righted. Special Correspondence of THe Beg. Lavoorx, May 11, 1882.—Both houses of the legislature met yester- day promptly at noon. Lieut.-Gov. Carns called the senate to order, and read the governor’s proclamation. It ‘was then discovered, upon calling the roll, that no quorum was present, and an adjournment was accordingly taken until three o'clock in the after- noon. The house came to order on time at the rap of the speaker’s gavel. A qtorum .was found to be present when the roll was called. Mr. Wind- ham, of Cass, offered a resolution per- petuating the organization of last ses- sion, which was adopted without dis- sent. On motion of Mr, Howe, the credentials of the new members were| The . At 11 o'olock the house and senate referred to the committoe on privi- loges and elections, Speaker Shedd took the occasion afforded by the pas- sage ot the resolution continuing the organization ‘to make a very pretty little speech, in which he offered some timely advice to the members, and paid a finely worded tribute to the members who have baen removed from logislative cares, dufl:{ tiI,u ro- amflns is l‘fh’f orude, but his i are excellent, the k;nenl ver-, dict upon his little effert to-day wils that 1t did him credit. After he con- <luded, Mr. Howe offered a resolution that out of respect to the memory of Messrs, Kaley and Schick the house adjourned until nine o'clock to-day. This was unarimously adoptodj and the body stood adjourned. The eenate met promptly in the af- ternoen, and upon the call of the roll Senators Evans, Graham, Morse, Per- kins, Walker and Wells were tound to be absent. The customary prayer by the chaplain followed, and then the new members, Messrs. Castle, Camp- bell and Walker, handed in their cre- dentials. On motion of Mr. Tafft, the senate took a recess of five min- utes, during which the committee on credentials examined the documents. The credentials were found to be cor- rect, and Senators Diusmore and Doane were sent out as a special en- voy to lasso the chief justice, and have the oath administered. As that dignified functionery could not be |Pose found about the building, the secre- tary of state was brought in as & sub- stitute and swore the new comers to fealty. The chair was authorized to appoint a postmaster to fill the yacan- oi, and named Mr, C. N. McGrew to that responsible and luceative office. The senate then proceeded to the elec- tion of a sergeant and [assistant ser- geant-at-arms, and vi the perqui- sites of those two offices’to Messrs, J. W. Ryan and W. P. Squire respective- ly. Alex, Laverty, of Caes, was then made assistant door keeper, Mr, Tefft read a resolution dispencing with the clerks on all standing committees, This was agreed to by a vote of twen. ty-one to three, thus at one fell swoop estroying the hopes of half a score of impecunious young Micawbers who stood around waiting for some fat pickings to turn up. Senator Morse of Merrick county, who is out of the state, was indefinitely excused from attendance, At this junction, the house not being in session and the transaction of business being impossi- ble, the senate adjourned until nine o’clock to-day. The evening was spent in quiet lobbying over the subject of appor- tionment, the opposition to the Burns bill growing more and more decided, Mr, Whedon, of Lancaster, has a bill which seems to meet with considera- ble favor. It puts Sarpy county with the South Platte counties as far west as Saline and Gage into the first dis- trict; Douglas and enough of the !{o;lh Platte to make a proper di- vision, will constitute the second, and the balance of the state the third. The ministers remained in session almost all day long yesterday, and whereased and resolved to their hearts’ content over the evils of tip- pling and the 'Frnficll beauty of total abstinence.

According to the ramor, Hull is in ds;?er water than was ever imagined. othing of any particular moment happened at the house this morning until the joint session occurred. An election was held for chaplain, result- iag in the choice of Rev. George Scott. The house also discharged all committee clerks, In the senate a considerable flurry was ocoasioned by the introduction of a resolution by Senator Meyers, to the following effect : Joint resolution in reference to bribery and embezzlement of national monies, avd corruption: Whereas, A cortainnewspaper called the:Omaha Daily Herald, printed and ublished by George L. Miller and an Richardson, proprietors, in the city ot Omaha, State of Nebraska, of date May 10, 1882, containe several editorial articles and paragraphs alleg- ing Mbcrg, corruption and empezzle- ment on the part of certain well known members of the senate and house of representatives of tho legislature of Nebraska, now in special session, and also in reference to Senator Van Wyek, one of the senators from this retate in the senate of the ‘United S“Whpm.s:u.‘ o Snid aditorial articlos and id editorial articles an: paragraphs are believed to be of the most scandalous and infamous char- acter, seriously affecting the honor and integrity ot the present legislature, oceurring during the election of Sen- ator, Van Wyck, and as to certain of its members, in connection with the embezzlgment of certain monies, the property. of the United States, and using jtin connection with the sen- atorial election referred to for corrupt and unlawful purposes, said money, as mMeged, hlvinf been fraudulently taken from the land office at Platts- mouth, Neb.; therefore, Resolved, That a special committee of three senators jointly with four members of the house of representa- tives, shall be appointed by their pre- siding officers, which committee shall d at once to investigate into the truth of the allegations following, to- wit: (being editorial articles taken from yesterday's Herald). ‘‘The com- mittee will have power and authority to send for persons and papers, issue writs “duces tecum,” if thought necessary, and with leave to sit during thesession of their respective houses.” resolytion lays over for one day. made him, that he would veto any|duty, and made a formal requisition wpon the president of the United States for troops to aid in supprossing domestic violence; basing the applioa- tion upon the information received from the civil authorities of the city of Omaha and Douglas county, which information was forwarded to the ‘)reuldant with the l;plicntinn for Tnited States troops. Favorable mo- tion was taken by the president and troops were promptly furnished. With a view to obtaining more defi- nite information concerning the situa- tion and the force required, I directed Adjutant General Alexander to pro- coed to Omaha and _confer with the civil authorities. Immediately after his arrival there, I was informed by him that he had consulted with Mayor Boyd, and that it was the judgment of the mayor that the Nebraska Ni tlonal Guards should be ordered in at the same time as the United States troops. I then directed Oolonel Colby, commanding the Nebraska National Guards, to issue orders to the several companies of the ent to proceed to Omaha by special trains which had been provided, and on the morning of the 11th of March a force of United States and state troops, numberin, about six hundred men, rewhos Omaha, and were ’icad under the mayor's orders. They were iu- diciously employed by him for the purpose of re-establishing civil author- ity and to protect laborers, who, on the arrival of the military, immedi- ately resumed the work which they had been compelled to abandon by the infuristed mob. The rioters were overawed by the unexpected display of military force, but were not sub- dued. For several days their riotous demonstrations continued, and the troops, both state and national, were subjected to every form of insult and abuse. The final restoration of order without great loss of life, was largely due to the forbearance of the soldiers under the most ammfin% ciroum- stances. Gradually violence of the mob subsided, and the troops be- ing no longer required, were with- drawn. In - this connection I cinnot too highly commend the soldierly conduct of the Nobraska National Guard. When placed under orders, officers and men reported for duty with the promptness of veterans. During theif brief service they won for themsalves the admiration .and gratitude of all good citizens, and fully verified the wisdom of the act of 1881, which placed our statg military organization upon a more effective basis, I re- eommem!i’ that & lutfiui':lt amount l:zf money be appropriaf to pay the Nebraska troops for their services while employed as aboye stated, and met in joint session to listen to THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, & copy of which'is appended: Gentlemen of the Senate and House o Representatives: In accordance with the constitu- tional provision whioh authorizes the .convene the legislature on 'ou ‘are as- u ae oot tion %oll which I have brought to your atten- tion by proclamation. In convening the legislature I have not been unmindful of the fact that you are charged with the considera- tion of questions which demand judi- clous and impartial legislation. Be- lieving, however, that by your past legislative experience you are espe- cially qualified for the duties of this session, I confidently trust that the results of your labors will be in har- mony with the best interests of the state. For your convenience I submit the following recapitulation of the sub- jects upon which legislation is consid- ered desirable: First, To apportion the state into three congressional districts and to provide for the election of representatives therein, Second, To amend an act approved March 1st, 1881, entitled “An act to in- corporate cities of the first class and regu- lation of their duties, powers and govern- ment,” by conferring additional power upon oities of the first class for the pur- of paving or macadamiziug. streets and alleys and also providing for the crea- tion and appointment of & board of public works therein, Third, To assign the county of Custer ' Fourth, To amend section 69, chapter 14, of the compuled statutes of Nebraska entitled *‘Cities of the second class and villages, F.igth. "To provide for the expensea in- curred in suppressing the recent riots at Ownba uur protecting citizens of the state from domestio violence. Sixth, To give the assent of state the to the provision of an act of congress to extend the northern boundary of the state of Nebraska, Seventh, To provide for the payment of the ordinary and contingent expenses of the legislature incurred during the special session hereby convened, The act of congress approved Feb- ruary 26th, 1882, authorizing the el- ection of two additional representa- tives from Nebraska confers a polit- ical right to which the state becomes entitled under the census of 1880, I congratulate you, as representatives of the people, in view of this substan- tial evidence of growth and prosperity. Before passing to other subjects I have only to add that the immediate apportionment of the state into con- gressional districts on the basis fixed bfi' law is demanded and I trust that :‘ is duty will receive your first atten- ion, On the 9th day of last March I was officially notified by Mayor Boyd, of Omaha, that a formidable riot was in progress in that city, and was earn- estly requested to furnish the neces- sary force to enforce the laws and pro- tect the people of Omaha from mob violence—the civil authorities being powerless, Subsequently on the same day I received a telegram signed jointly by Mayor Boyd and the sheriff of Douglas county, informing me that the civil authorities were power- less to protect peaceful laborers, and representing that United States troops were absolutely necessary to restore to pay other expenses incurred for their transportation and maintainence. The state should be prompt to com- pensate them for their services as :lhey were prompt in reporting for of 10 8ok of 1881 entitled, “‘An. act corporate gities of the first class, | to in and ' regulaf ‘their duties, powe! sucl :fi:ing or paving streets and alleys, I recommend a judicious increase of power in this particular, and that the act be also amended by providing for the creation of a board of public works. An amendment of the law relating to cities of the second class is required for the pur of facilitating the con- struction of water works, The pro- posed legislation is very essential, and I trust that the subject will have your favorable consideration, * of this state, which a 11th volume of Nebraska Reports, it appears that the organization of Ous- ter county had the effect of placing the county outside of any judicial district. This anomalous condition has seriously obstructed the adminis- tration of justice in said county, and should be remedied at once by proper lagislavion, By an act of congress approved March 28, 1882, the northern bound- aryof the state of Nebraska was ex- tended so as to mnclude all that por- tion of the territory ot Dakota lying south of the 43d pefrallel of north lati- tude and east of the Keya-paha river and west of the main channel of the Mussouri river, subjectto the provision that the act aforesaid shall not take cffect, 8o far as the jurisdiction is concerned, until the Indian State ot Nebraska shall have assented to the provisions of the act. This subject is submitted for' your consideration, in order that {ou may determine what action shall be taken by the state for the purpore ot giving full force and effect to naid act of congress, In conclusion, I express the hope that you have a pleasant and harmonious session, and that it may not be prolonged beyond the.fime uc- tually required for the. transaction of the busiuess which you have under consideration.

Reynolds is here now with the documents, which will be presented to the legislature. The confidential relations he sustained to Carns have enabled him to procure the most damaging evidence of cor- ruption and jobbery against Carns snd the railroad lobby, BILLS INTRODUCED, Bills were introduced in the senate as follows: By Burns=-To apportion the state into onn%rs-hnd distriots, By Ballentino— Same, By Irvin—8ame, By Powers--To attach Custer county to the Fifth judicial distriot.
