Laxcory, May 12.—The legislature got well at work yesterday, bills being introduced on all but two of the sub- jecta included in the governor’s call. | g, Oasi;| Tanoasteh, \0fos, No: No fewer than eight bills on the ap- m:f.y and Johnioa. ’ 4 portionment problem were presented | Second district, the counties of in the two houses, three originating in the senate and five in the house Some of these bills were pretty much alike, their authors not evidently com- paring notes before submitting their offspring to the scrutiny of the legiala- ture, Three of the bills place Doug- ias and Sarpy counties with the country south of the Platte and east of Saline connty. Two put Sarpy south and Douglas north, and the rest place Douglas north of the Platte. The determination to beat the Burns bill and its imitators is so strong that it looks as though it would certainly succeed, though some of the members are a trifle non-committal. SENATE, At the session of the senate yester- day three bills were introduced on the subject of apportionment, Senators Burns, Ballentine and Ervin being the authors thereof. The texi of the Burns bill, which seems likely to be defeated now, although very popu- lln last winter, is substantially as fol- lows: First Districk—Includes Richard- son, Nemaha, Pawnee, Gage, Lancas- ter, Otoe, Cass, S8aunders, Sarpy and Douglas, Second District the South Platte rot inclnded in the above distriot. Third District —That portion of the North Platte notincluded in the first district. This gives a population of |¢ 170,000, 148,000 and 137,000, in the three districts respectively.n The Ervin bill makes the districts this shape: First—Lincoln, Gage, Pawnee, Richardson, Nemaha, Johnson, Otoe, Cass, B&nnéen, Butler, Seward and Sarpy sounties, ardson, Pawnee, Gage, line, Douglas, Sarpy, Waal Oolhx.,.i’ Howard, Sherman, Wheeler, Boone, Holt, Antelope, Madisor To gressional districts as follows: Otoe, Johnson, Pawnee, Gage, son, Saline,-Seward, York, and Thayer. ter, Dawson, Gosper, Furnas, Red Willow, Frontier, Lincoln, Hayes, Hitcheock, Dundy, Chase, Keith, Cheyonne, Sioux and all the unorgan- ized territory west of Hoit, Wheeler and Custer counties, By Slocumb, House Roll No. 3— To divide the state into three con- gressional districts, as follows: First district, the counties of Rich- ardson, Nemaha, Pawnee, Johnson, Gage, Lancaster, Otos, Cass, Saun- ders, Sarpy and Douglas.

If the senate had the time and authority to act in this mat- ter he was willing to have it done. At the conclusion of these remarks Mr. Myers withdrew his appeal from *he decision of the chair. Prosident Carns thereupon declared the investigating resolutions out of order and ruled out.

Senator Powers raised the point of order that these resolufions could not be entertained because they proposed business ernor’s call, hence were unconstitu- tional. He oited section 8, article b, of the constitution, which provides that the legislature shall enter ‘upon no business except that for they were called together; and section 16 of article 8, which says that all resolutions that require the concur- rence of both houses must be sub- mitted to the governor for his proval, and therefore are in the na- not embraced in the gov- The resolutions ture of lofiiflhtion. offered by Mr. Myers being of that character, could therefore not be en- tertained under the constitution. The president of the senate SUSTAINED THE POINT OF ORDER, adding further that he, (Carns), had the verbal opinion of Attorney General Dillworth that these resolutions could not be acted on af this session, and he assured the sen- ate he could procure this opinion in writing if it was wanted. investigation Mr., Myers: I appeal from the de- Benator Teft rose to a question of rivilege He appealed to his col- eagues in the senate whether during his long service his reputation had ever been tarnished by any dishen- orable act. It was well known that he had been an ardent supporter of Senator Van Wyck during the late senatorial canvass and he labored with his colleagues earnestly on behalf of his candidate, but he would ask any senator on the floor whether he was ever approached by him with offers of patronage or place, lflullniel few moments the senator said, I hear no response, I was perhaps as intimately associated with Senator Van Wyck as any of his supporters, and I never have known or heard of any 'bugun or promise of patronage during the senatorial canvass, He pronounced the charges of the Omaha Herald as connecting his name with any frauds or jobbery as BASE SLANDERS, At the proper time he intended to tako up and meet these charges but no man who does not own & newspa- per could afford to indulge in Ile'lfl- per controversies and.an appeal to the courts might involve a man in an out- sulting insinuations regarding litical friends of Van Wyck are chuck- ling over their success in smirching the reputation of one of his leading supporters and crentin% a damaging impreasion concerning his own con- duct. Carns, who feels terribly un- easy about the threatened revelations of his late partner, Reynolds, also feels much relieved, He has been laboring hard to establisha precedent ;gninst investigation at this session, 'he opinion is freely expressed, how- ever, that t by no means the end of the Investigating business. It is predicted that Senator Van Wyck will derwand and insist upon some action to disprove the slanders against him- self that were embodied in the Meyers resolution. There is no doubt that either house can legally investigate the conduct of its own members, or enter upon any inquiry that does not require the assant of the governor or concurrence of the house. THE MILITIA EXPENSES, The militia appropriation bill, handed in by Mickey, of Polk county, calls for the disbursement of the sum of $12,023.83 for the payment of the following expenses: Quartermaster’s department, $2,403.34, including transportations; commissary depart- ment, $4,167.10; pay-roll, $5,039.19; surgeon, $114.256; ngimenui staff, $674.69; governor’'s staff, $807.90; es- timated outstanding claims, $200. The charge for transportation by the Union Pacific is $276.80, and by the & M. $1,603.66. Markel & Swobe present a bill for meals furnished at the rate of 60c each, amounting to $2,766. COanfield house bill is $590. The transportation of the regulars is charged to the government, and is mainly over the U. P., which doubt- less made more than the B. & M. out of the Omaha labor troubles. The house committee on claims to whom theso bills were referred will insist upon an itemized statement of some ofpo these bills, especially those for the governor’s and staff and regi- mental staff are regarded as decidedly steep.

THE IRISH IN NEW YORK, New York, May 12.—-Cooper Union was crowded to its utmost ca- pacity this evening by ecitizens of all classes to give expression to the sense of abhorrence with which the news of the assassination of Cavendish and Burke was received by all classes of American citizens. Among the audi- ence were many ladies. O'Donovan Rossa sat in the center of the hall, facing the platform, surrounded by a number of friends. In consequence of anumber of threats having been made, that the meeting would be broken up, one hundred police were distributed throughout the hall to pre- serve order, and a reserve of fifry was detailed in the upper part of the building, ready to act at a moment’s notice. Mayor Grace presided and in open- ing said: The last time he presided in the hall it was when a meeting was held to protest againat the imprison- ment of Americans in English prisons, Happily they are released. w: are now assembled to express our abhor- ance of a great crime.

I feel confident the deed was not done by friends of Ireland or of the Irish eause.” The speaker then denounced the new bill which had recently been in- troduced in ocluded by saying he had no doubt but that at an a-:.{( day the Irish people would obtain government, Hon. Richard O’'Gorman was the next speaker, He said: ‘I dii not see that it I':: buc;. l;ol,d public natural murder—unna & t was committed in Ireland.” [Uproar.] “It was & cold blooded murder and that was the least that could be said of it.” [A voice—‘Humbug,” and general uproar.] The speaker next referred to the killing ot President Garfield and said, ‘‘That assassin of our chief magistrate is now waiting his doom.” He was pleased that no eomglici&y could be organized against the Irishmen of any faction, but it was foolishness to sup- pose Irishmen would treat England with brute force.

He concluded by saying that the hour in Ireland was & very stormy one. It was one of dan- ger; but light followed darkness, It was their darkest hour just before the dawn. Great uproar here followed, during which a man named Horgan among the audjence attempted to address the meeting. Order was finally restored and the chairman introduced Wm, B. ‘Wallace, president of the land league of New York, who said they had as- sembled together to rapuxinu the assassination, No matter by whom iv was committed, England was sure to take advantage of it, and would enact stronger laws than ever before. Their auty was to stand by Charles Stewart Parnell, [‘‘great cheer- ing”] in strengthening their hands by your support. The assassination was not the work of the land leaguers, but the enemies of the Irish people. James Redpath said that an assassin was not onl, & man without heart, but without brains. He detested assassins, but God bless nihilism and dynamite in Russia [cheers].
