After the reading of the journal rev- eral reports of an unimportant char- acter were recelved and read. Among theee, one to encoursge the s:arch for coal 1n the state, wus recommended for prasage. INVESTIGATION OF THE LUNATIC LUM, ASY- Under the head of resolutions Mr. | ‘Conrer introduced the following: Warreas, It is asserted by divers and sundry persons that unlawiul, re- vere and brutal cruelty is exorcisad by the cfficers and ewployes of the insane asylum towards tho patients thercin corfiued, and that great and unneceesary extravagance exists in the menngement of eaid instiution; aud Waereas, Tae lawfu', humans and economical managemens of said 1nsii- tution is a matter of great public con- oern; therefore ba it ResoLven, Taat a committee of three be appointed by the president of the eenate, whose duty it chall be to investigate such charges and report the same to the sanate at as early a day as practicable, and for this pur- poze sald committee is aathorizad to send for peraous and papers. On motton the rules were suspended and the resolution paseed, The presi dent announced that he would appuint the committee at a later hour. READING OF BILLS, The blll to legalizs dissection of the human body was read a second time, It requires that such operation ‘‘¢hall not shock the senasibility of the com- maunity” where such dieseciion is car- ried ou. Referred to the committee on education, The bill to protect the employes of railroads in the case of accident, &ro., was referred to the rallroad com- mittee. An insarance bill was read a second tlme and referred to the cormitte on corporations, the effect cf which wlil be to encourage a crop of ewindling ineurance companies all over the state. The committee on ‘‘Live stock and grazing,” is intrusted with a bl to punich the giving of false pedigr.es. Abill to defice the duties of the board of county commissioners wes sent to the judiclary committee. Mr. Harrison proposes by a bill, an amendment to the constitution so as enlargo the number of state officers provided for by the constitution, to any number that may be created by law. A resolution to allow the enginver of the building 83 per day extra dar- ing the seesion cf the legialature called forth a long discuseion, and at tho end the resolution was ruled out of order. The diurnal bill of Mr. Butler was Indefinitely postponed. THE FREE PASS BILL, In committee of the whole bill 54, Brown of Lancaster’s bill to prevent the giving and taking of passes, came up for conalderation. It occasioned a debate which, for the numbers taking part, the pro nounced views expressed upon rail road matters, and the eloquence and argument displayed, has had no equal go far, and will probably stand ursur. paseed in these respects for the reat of the ression, Mr. Brown said he need not remind the senate of the wide epread com- laints of the corruption wrought by the pass system, It was regarded as haviug debsuched our politics and to have luvolved our highest cftisials, as well ps all ranks below them, He had given his best efforts to framing the bill and had consulted others as to the effizioncy of its provisious, The bill, a8 it appeared, had et with the com mendations of men of great legal ability and he was anxious to eee it passed, as helping to some extent to remedy the evil complsined of. 1f any gontleman had a hetter bill, or cou!d propose au glad to acoept the oue or the othor, Me. Scheeahelt roso ta object to the ) bill was con- manner 1n which the structed. He believed It would defe its own purpose, inasmuch as it po TWELFTH YEAR.

This wes too severe. It was excessive, It was greater punish ment than was imposed on a felon, for if he was pardoned his disabilities ceased. In this caso the statutes dis- abled him for ever, Mr. Conner spoke forcibly and .t length upon the propriety f exclud. ing all ctlicers from accepting pisses. It was - impossible to measure the ef fect sach favors had upon men, Their judgment would be biased in spite of them, It was human nature, and a man would be an ingrate who could accept such favors and not feel that he was under obligations in conse- quence. He remicded senators of the jeulousy exercised in this vespect in Judiclal proceedings, If a dinner was given & juryman, or any slight act of kinduess shown him by the party iaterested in the verdiot that jaryman was about to give, it vitiated the pro- oceadings and the verdict was st aside. Mr. Sowers objected to the bill first, because it would not accomplish tas object proposed® Its provisions coald bas evaded with-perfect eass He proceeded to show how by the purchase and distiibution of tickets at a tizket « flios all sald in the bill about passes could be rendercd absolutely null and void. He also objected to the bill as an impreper interterence with the rights ¢f railroads and per- sons, and gave notice that he should not ouly vote sgainst it in committee of the whole, but on each and every occasion on which the opportunity was afforded him, Nir. Brown of Clay described the bill as a good one. In his judgment it was complete, and ought fo be paeacd just as it was. Many of them had been sent there to «flsot reforms in this dircetion, and he tor one pro poacd to do his duty and should vote for the bill. Mr. Kineald sald much that he in- touded to say upon the bill had al rcady been 8o well said by othera that ne had little more to add. Ho would, however, take advantags of the op- portunity offered him aud say that ho regarded the bil) as well drawn and well adapted to effect its objoct. So far as that object was concerned he war deeidedly’ in favor of it aud shculd vote for it He hoped the bill would not be stitlod in commit- tee, The pass business was one that had been abused, and it was time that it should be controlled for the welfare of the people and the welfare of the roads Mr. Batler said he had a speech to make on the subject, and reminded senators that if they wanted to appear there two years from now they would have to vote for that bill, or when they parted it would be to see each other no mors in the capacity of rep- resantatives of the people. He then proceeded to arraign the railroads of the etate for the unjust discrimination they had shown in the distribution of passes. Thetr meauness had almost convinced him cf the doctrine of original sin, a dootrine he did mnot not want to beliove, and had almost deprived him of his faith in universal salvation, a doctrive he tried to be- lieve. If there was not a hell there ought to be one for the punishment of just such meanness as tho railroads were guilly of. Talk of stealing a nickel from a dead nigger's eyes, oran acorn from a blind hog! —the railroads were infinitely meaner than that. He instanced the case of one who had served them for yeare; one who would get up in the night to serve them; one who did serve them day and night; yet he was st aslde and they eent and asked him to return the pass that had been issn:d in his favor, It was time romething should be done to put the cfficers of the roads in thelr proper place. He had thought of them in hell and the devil with a harpoon get- tiog at their vitals to furnish food for gudgeons, Mr. Barker said he had not attach- ed much importance to the bill till now, and the cpposition it had met with had led him to regard it as of greater consequence than befere. He should vote for it as a measure likely to meet the wishes of the people, who would no longer tolerate the interfor- ence of railroads in the politica of the state, Mr. Norris said he was opposed to the bill as casting an undesersed re- flection opon members of that body. Farmers outeide of the senate might recelve passcs; farmera In the senate could not. Lawyers outside could take such fivors; lawyers serving their constituents, these were to be cut off. Now why! pIt was a reflection upon their hondf and integrity, ho for one could not quietly sabmit to, Mr. Butler asked him why farmers and lawyers in the senate received pasaes, whilo farmers and lawyers oat- side did not. This fact furnished its own answer, Mr. Harrigon objected to the bill bacause it did not go far enough, He wanted a clause fnsorted which would include all citizans, as well as c flizers and delegates to conventicns, Mr. Dolan objected for the same reason, and offered an amendment pro- hibitiog raiiroads from giving passes except to persons in their employ. It was not agreed to, At one time, and before most of senate were awars of what was in. volved, the wotion to adopt section 1 was lost and the bill was cut down so that section 2 was all remaiued of it, sequently the vote was recon- sidered and section 1 was restored, | umended by striking out the clause tshed both parties This was the|disqualifying the officer from holdiug grent defect 0! our election Jaw re- | after conviction of a second offense, spoctiug biinery.

If the suprevm court ron. dered its opinion at 8n early a day we should have had a railroad commis- sion ystom as advocated by The Journal and other railroad mouth- pieces. The chief beauty of the sys- tem in the railroad mind was the fact that whenever it became troubleseme 1t could be shaken off and abolished by this very authorlty that has now prevented its adoption. It would have been declared uncoustitutional and therefore dead. Having loat their commission bill, it now remaius for them to kill everything else luok- ing toward railroad regul they are disposed to do so they can control votes encuzh, and they will very naturally bs disposed to use them. t SCHOOL LANDS, House Roll No. 7, a bill providing for selling and leasing the school lands of the state came up for paesage this morning, and was passed by a large majori Mr Jensen explained his vote, saying that he had expected to vote for the bill, but upon examina- tion found that any man could lease as many sections as ho might think best. He had been {nformed that one man in Wayne county has leased and now oontrols fourteen sections of this land. He thought it oponed the door to too mach speculation at the expense of the state and the sottlers, He, thero- fore, voted no. Mr. Wolph endorsed Jensen's objactions, but thought that it was so much better than the old law, now in force, that he would vote yes. . THE CUMMING STATESMAN, Mr. Franse, of Cumming introduced a_resolution calling upon the epacial railroad committee to furnish the house with the expenss already in- carred in sending for witnesses to ap- poar before said committeo, In sup- port of his resolation Mr. Franse made a few remarks in which be charged that he had been informed that between one and two thcusand dollars had already buen used up and he was opposed to any farther ex- penditure for the reason that he thought the examination had assumed a personal pawre, and he thought that Rosewater was too small a wan to occupy 8o much time and consume #0 much money in this fight sgainst the Union Pacific company, The re- solution was adopted, There is no doubt but what all rail. road strikers will hear enough to con vince them that the people of the state had better pay a half million a year in over charges on frelght tarifls rather than to expand a thousand or two in finding ous where the trouble is.

SENATOR MANDERSON. Special Dispatch to Tim Bxx. LiNcoLy, January 30,—At lonst the most memorable contest in the annals of Nebraska is over. After two weeka of scheming and wire pulling the com- bat of political gladiators has coased in the seloction ¢f Goneral Charles F. Manderson, who carried off the re- publican caucus nomination on the tifth baliot to night and was then proclatmed the choice of the republi- cans amidst cheers and general re- Jjoicing. When the joint convention adjourn- ed last evening the impression among veteran politicians was that General John 0. Cowin would be the caucus nominee, Ho has be°n supported with all the ardor and iuvflaence that Congressman Liird could command, and within the last forty-eight houra Laird had been joined by Captain Phillips, the boss politician of the B. & M, who had been previously sup- porting Millard, The efforts of Philltps and Laird alarmed Judge Weaver, who had been a warm supporter of (eneral Thayoer, At 3 o'olock this afternoon Weaver and his persnal friends made a atill hunt among the supporters of Thayer, Saunders asnd Millard, who were in- duced to sign a paper pledgiog their votes to Goneral Manderson, during the progrees of the caucus, By 8 p. m, fifty-two signatures had been pro cured to this paper, and when the cau- cus met (ieneral Manderson’s nomina- tlon was a foregone conclusion. The nomination of Mandsrson elicited cheer after cheer from tho members and spectators, (ioneral Manderson was called for and made one of the happieat speeches of his life, congratalating thoe republi- cans upon the harmonious conclusion of a contest that had been waged for fourtean daye without ergandering bitter foelings among rival candidates. He believed tho republicans were en- tering upon a new era and pledged himself to devote his energies and talents to the party in the state, Senator Saunders followed in a speech expressing his satlsfaction with the choice of the republicans, He re- garded the position of senator as laborious and onerous, because 1t was imporsible for any msn te satisfy everybody., He had disctarged the duties of his cflice to the best of his ability aud he would now retire from political lifs and devote his time to the intercsts of his family. Loud calls were made for other can- didates, but they were not in the hall and the crowd adjourned to the Com- mercial where the nomineo received an ovation from his friends regardless of party, The general impression is very fa- vorable among all classes, The anti- monops regard the cholce as satisfac— tory as that ¢f any other of the prom- inent republican cand!dates.
