LinocoLy, May 28.--The ghost of the murdered Armstrong will not down. It haunts the legislative halls from day to day. Another exciting and tumultous scene occurred in the houso this morning over the Omaha riots. ¢ Soon after the house was called to order, Holman, of Dukota, rosein his seat and presented a roll to the clerk, which he stated was a potition and remonstrance representing five thousand citizens of Douglas county. The elerk was directed to read, and upon opening the roll began reading a letter signed by Edward Walsh, preeident of the Omaha labor union, and divected to the house of repre- sentatives. After reading a few lines of this eommunication, which began by protesting against the outrages misreprosentation of facts by the committee on claims, tho writer char- acterized the chairmav, Bartlett, as “a c MMATE FRAUD,"” No sooner had these words been read than Church Howe jumped up ferociously and demanded that the further reading of the communication be indefinitely postponed. He stated that the communication was an insult to the whole body, in thatit cast re- flzctions upon one of its members. Considerable excitement followed, and iuquity was made whethar the letier of Walsh was part of the peti- tion. It was tound that the letter was geparate, and the clerk was then directed to read the petition, which was very carefully and respectfully framed, carnestly protesting against the one sided . #nd unfair treatment™ of the ermmittes,s in basing their entire report upon the statements from the mayor of Omaha and Governor Nance, who were in- terested in sustaining their official course during the labor troubles and finally praying that the communica- tion presented some days ago by Hon. E Rosewater be filed with the letters of the officers as an unbiased state- ment, presenting the views of the petitioners in the premises. A motion was made that the prayer be grauted when Bartlett advanced to the center of the room and delivered one of his RIP-ROARING HARANGUES in which he very frantically. protested against allowing any stump speech from E. Rosewater being printel He snid that last year the house had allowed several ladies the privilege of dolivering specches on the floor, buv if anybody had proposed to print one of them wn the journals Rosewater and bis rotten sheet would have de- nounced it as an outrage, (Mr. Bart- latt, by the way, probably is not aware that one of the speeches mado by a lady was printed in the journals, al- though ic was not a proper thing to do, of course, and in no ways a paral- lel case with the communication ad- dressed to #he house in writing ) Bartlott coutinued to veut his sp'een agaiost Tie Ber and Rosewa- ter until he had tellowed himself out ot breath, and then he was followed by Church Howe, who also discovered a terrible trap in this petition, Howe finally moved that the whole subjaot, petition and all, be indefin- itely postponed. The ayes and nays were called, and tha motion lost by a vote of 37 to 35, The Douglas dele- gation, excepting Broatch, who was abseut, and Bartlett who voted to ta. ble the thing, voted against indefinite postponement. Tae petition was then unanimously PLACED ON FILE, Daring the dobate wcident to the excitll g controvorsy over this peti- tion, Ganeral Holman and Mr, Whe- don made strouy appeals on behalf of ion, and the right ot men heard, aod protested against the arbitrary course which Church Howe and Bartlott seemed to be foreing on the house under whip and spur, The letter of Walsh, which was re- garded as disrespectful, was rejected and returned, The debates on the militia bill and the votes given by the different mem- bers wake A VERY EXCELLENT INDEX to the relations which members bear to the existing state house ring and the corporstions, Some of these men who have all along professed etrong sympathy with the producers and lab- orers, have now showed their hands by voting thousands of dollars out of the state tressury to ornamental staff’ officers and greedy railrouds. It was decidedly awusiwg to see some of them gyrate in this militia contro- verey. OHURCH HOWH, who is & candidate for neatly every office from governor down to member of the legislature, struck out against Aloxander by moving that the salary of that great man as a brigadier gen- eral be knocked out, but Church Howe meantime was a warm supporter of every other item in the bill, includ- ing extravagant pay for all the other staff officers, the railroads, eating houses and evergbody else, ALOCUMB was also decidedly opposed to allowing the brigadiers extravagant pay, but when the item of the B. & M. R. R. came up he made a terrible onslavght on the opponents to sastain the claim of the pauper cerporation, from which he has frequent retainers. MICKRY, OF POLK, the left bower of Nance, as a matter of course, was in favor of whole hog or none. He was willing to pay eve'y- thing and everybody, and was very bitter against the rioters. WALLING OF COLFAX could see no virtue in anybody that would refuse to foot the entire militia bill or wou'd dare question the need- less use of military. HOSTEITER, OF MERRICK, although representing a ‘strong anti- monopoly constituency voted with Howo and Bartlott through this cam- paign. ON THE OTHER HAND, Ransom, of Otre, Whedon, of Lan: caster, Gan, Holman, of Dakota, wade a gallant fight against reckless extravagance and partiality. While they favored the payment of the sol- diers, they weré opposed to costly trappings and expenses incused by gold laced brigadiers of the efaff. Members of the legislature as we know are privileged characters. They are not responsible either under criminal or civil law for words epoken in debate on the floor of legislative halls. Church Howe and Bartlett made use of that privilege for the last time porhaps in their legislative career in HEAPING INSULT AND ABUSE upon the man, whom of all others, their masters, the railroad bosses, most dread, and who always is and always will be, in their political path. It was a pastime that amused some people, but created the imprersion that 1t was the kick of the expiring mules. A numberof lesser lights exchanged shots across the bloody chasm, but they are hardly worth noticing be- cause most of them are destined for the political bone yard just as soon as the doors of the legislature close upon them.

Snow, Ioe, Fog, and Short Rations. Nationa! Associsted Press Quenkc, May 23 —The steamer Peruvian, which has been twenty-six days out, arrived at this port at b p. m. to-day, 1n tow of the tug Rocket and steamship Arcadian. Her pas. aoga was eventful, owing to ice, snow storms and fog off Cape Ray. Her difficultios began on May 7. Nothiog could be seen ahead but an immense flold of ico, extending as far as the eye could reach, and about a dozen ships were passed in a day which had come to anchor, | waiting for the ice to break. At1l p. m, the Peruvian was unable to pro- ceed any further. Next morning sho put on full steam and made a dee- perate effort to break her way through che icy barriers, but had not got far before the acrew broke and she lay helplessly tast and ico bound. The steamship “Lake Huron" lay in sight behind, On May 9th a snow storm set in. Steerage passengers were reduced to ehort rations. Bisouils wore served out ouly every other worning, and oatmeal gruel was dis- ponsed with. The hardships were keenly folt by women and children. On the 11th the ica began to move, but the vessel made but vory little progress. The Like Huron had by this time got up steam and clesred her way through the Hoating ice. On the 16th not a vessel was in sight, and the ice became thicker thau ever and she was blown so close to the land that it was fearcd she would g down, but the wind veering sround she was enabled to get out in the open sea agsin. On the 17th a schooner hove in sight and was sig- nalled. A boat was lowered and the purser got on board with instructions to make for the nearest telegraph office and send the news to Quebeo. At8 p. m. he had not returned, though anxiously expected,and rockets were fired every ten minutes. On the 18sh the schooner came in sight, but could not get along side owing to the ice. The captain and purser walk- od over the ice, which was in lumps forty feet thick and fifty feet wide, to the steamer, from which a boat was lowered, and they were taken on board. The purser brought the good tidings that three steamers were on the lookout for the distressed vessel eince the 11th. After hailing a couple of steamers which preved to be strangers, tho orew and passengers had the delight of being hailed by the Grifin _wich provisions on board. The Poruvian was taken in thw by the Arcadian, the Gritfin koeping alongside. On ihe 218t the tug Rocket also came totho rescue, and in tow of both she came into port this afternoon. Thus ends this prolonged voyage with fortunately no luss of life. About 800 passengers were on board. SPORTING.
