Dispatch to THE GEB. LINCOLN , February 19. The legis lature is completely demoralized. The scones enacted m thu capital to-night are simply indoaoribablo. The disor der in the house during the night sou- eion would disgrace the lowest dlvo In Omaha. For ctro long hours a perfect Babel roignod. Members and lobby ists were pelting each other with paper wads , hurling all sorts of miaalles through the houao , whllo bills were being road and voted on , and the cli max was capped about 11 p. m. , when Mr. Hcward , of Clay , moved au ad- jonrnment , and a parfeot phower of paper wads and booka w.vi hurled at him , and finally some hoodlum clapped a paper baakot ever Howard's head and HMOTIIEKED HIS VOTOE. * Such n exhibition of Indecency was was never before perpetrated in any Nobr&aka legislature. It Is a burning disgrace that rtfloctc , to use a mild phrase , the utmost discredit on Speaker Humphrey , who n In honor and duty bound to maintain order and / onfojco dccornin while the house is in session.

The senate galleries wece densely crowded with apectatora and the Bonato floor PACKED WITH LOBBYISTS * to-cight during the dobito on the cap ital appropriation bill. The majority' ' report , signed by Sanator Howell , of YorJf , recommended the bill with . , amendments that reduced the special levy from one mill to thro8 < qnartors of ono mill. Senator Reynolds presented la minority report , giving reasons dy the bill should not pass. Ho ed the fact that the state ia overburdened with tax ; that the constitutional limit of debt is already overreached -by more 'than $250,000 ; that iho atato still owes $30,000 for the wiogs to the capital ou which it pays interest and lantly he protested against the bill ou the ground cf here bargains that had been made in re ceiving its passage in the house rend that 'at least ono member ia bsliovod teat have been bribed. A TEttY ANGRY DISCUSSION aroae ever thcao reports , Reynolds at one time charged that an attempt to } Intimidate a member of the senate by threats was made by a prominent Lin coln merchant. Brown , of Lancaster , demanded the name of the senator and the language of the merchant.

Half a dozen votes were tiken on the motion to Indefinitely postpone , tc adopt the minority report and adjourn , Finally Ho well's majority report with amendment * was adopted and the bill referred to the general file , where it will como up again for debate to-mor row.
