Douglas Fressed Into the Bouthern Tier to Coalescs With Lancaster, Prominent Caudidates Already Training For the Field. A Bide Glance of Matters and Men During tho Late Seseion. Kilforial Correspondenceof the Dee. Lincoun, May 24, —The legislative mob has dispersed, tho capital is de- serted and Gov. Nance once more breathes free. The disgraceful seenes enacted last night under tho leader- ship of that political mountebank, Church Howe, are a fit climax to the career of a legislature that had wasted wmueh time, equandered the public moneys, and whitewashed ono of the biggest knavea that has ever becn elevated to high office in the state. The most important legislative act of the extra session is the apportionment bill dividing Nebraska into three con- gressional districts. The supporters of this moasure were actuated by wany different motives, There is no doubt that the political man- agers of the railroads would have pre- ferred that tho state should not be districked because the nomination atlarge of three congressmen would have enabled them to drive all their strikers into the bull pan at the state conveation, and force the nomination of three out and out monopoly men, with an excellent chance of eleet- ing them in a state that has over 20,- ©00 republican majority. Next to an election at larga the bitl that did pass is looked upon by them with the great- est favor. The first district, composed of Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, Ocoe, Nemaha, Richardson, Pawnee, Gage, Johnson, Lancaster and Saunders counties, con- tains over 10,000 republican majority. The most populous of those counties are under railroad control, and by pooling in_the eonvention the U. P, and B. & M. expect to control the nomination,” which they, regard as equal to au election. gLy Wéadham, who are said to be affected with a congres Church Howe and sional “‘bee in theiribonnet,” were |, doubtless actuated mainly in their support of the Barns-Slocumb bill by these considerations; | They certainly did not refloct the sentiment of the people of Nemaha aad Cass counties, who have no interest in common with Douglas county. Oa the other hand, Valentine, who would also have much preforred that the state should not be districted, gave active support through his friends, in both houses, to the Barns bill, because he did not want Douglas county attached to the northern dis- trict, for various rersons In the firat place, Douglas county was liable to bring out some formidable candidats to throw Val in convention, and in the next place, there was danger that Val would aun several thousand behind in Deuglass county on acesunt of his no- toriously bad record. While Valentine's friends supported the Buarns bill for these reasons, Val's political rivals supported it because they believe that such a division in- sures Val’s political defeat, Senator Burns, the father of the bill, assured me that this was his main wiotive in pushing this measure. Mr. Burns is now an avowed candidate for Val's seat in congress, and he 1s con- fident of success, While he insisted that Douglas and Sarpy should be at- tached to Lancaster, Cass and Nema- ha, in order to make the eleciion of a republican congressman doubly sure, he was in reality anxious to get rid of Douglas county in the northern dis- trict, because he feared that the U, P. delegation in the congressional con- vention would nominate Valentine, With Douglas out of the district, ‘Washington, Burt, Dodge, Merrick, Platte, Hall and Battalo will have the preponderance, and there is very little danger that Valentine can carry these counties, Mr. Burns will not be the only formidable rival Val, must encounter, There is & probability that Hon. Lo- ander Gerard, of Platte, and Hon, E Q0. Calkias, of Buffalo, will also come to the front as candidates, with candi- dates from several back counties yet to hear from, The faot that the mem- bers from Washington and Burt, as well as other known political friends of Judge Crounse supported the Burns bill confirms my impression that by general agreement among leading oliticians in the North Platte distriot al. is to be laid on theshelf, After a careful canvass I foel safe in predict- ing that in any event Vals. political goose is cooked. Another class of supporters of the Burns-Slocumb bill came from the strong anti-monopoly section in the southwest. These parties bslieve that by joining Douglas and Lan- caster, the two great railroad cowters, they concede ovne district to the mo- nopolies and insure two anti-monopoly congressmen from the northern and western districts, This view may be correct, and if it were not tor the divergence of material interests be- tween Douglas and the southern counties in the firet district, 1 should perhaps regard the division upon the whole faverable to the state at large, The most objectionable feature in this measure is the manuner in which it was crowdod and forced through, I know there has been some outrageous gerrymandering in many states, but never in any state has & party formed OMAHA. THURSDAY MORNING MAY 26 a congressional district which was as unanimously opposed by the people that snhabit it. It is safe to say that out of the population of 171,000 in this district there are not vne hundred per{ this division, sons in favor of When the bill first came up in the senate only one member, Myers of Douglas, voted for it, and he knew that not ten men among the 50,000 pelnple in his district favored the bill, On the final passage only two out tha fourteen senators from the district supported tne bill. One of these, Cassel of Gage, flopped beoause his brother-in-law, Governor Nance, was for the bill. But Mr. Nanco will reap no benefit from this or any other division of the state. Like the good Tudian, he is dead — politially. For him and his lieutenant Carns there is no resurrec- tion—not even when Gabriel blows his tramp—in the morning. K. R, > SPORTING.

The hottest episode of the session occurred last evening in the houee, when the testimony in tho house in- vestigation case camne up for consid- eration. The house met at eight o'clock in the evening, the testimony having been nearly all printed by that time, For a couple of hours or more the members amused themselves by reading it for themselves. At eleven o'clock Church Howe moved the adoption of the report of the com- mitteo, which censures Robberts strongly in either view of the case, Rangom opposed this, as did also Whedon and Windham. Mr. France expressed his opinion that the com- mittee had exceeded its powers, and offered a substitute exonerating Robberts altogether.
