AT REsr.-Recently. the members OF
the Fourteenth United States Infantry,
who are stopping for a few days at Drum
Barracks previous to their departure for
Arizona, buried two of their comrades:
The following items in regard TO one Of
the deceased are interesting: BE was for

THE UNJUST REPORT.

The report from a special Committee,
signed at the bottom &c. Lambert" ap-
pointed to examine into the conduct Of
the State Board Of Examiners. says:
"Your Committee also find that the
Board Of Examiners have audited and or
dered paid, by issuance Of bonds, the sum
Of $lS,765, in payment Of per diem and
mileage Of members Of the two Constitu-
tional Conventions Of the Territory Of Ne
vada.
"Your Committee can find no author
ity Of law for such action. On the con-
trary, we find that during the last Legis-
lature . bill was introduced providing for
the payment Of such per diem and mile
age, and fixing the same ; that such bill
failed to become q lac, and an expression
Of the people was thereby had that such
per diem and mileage should not be paid.
with q full knowledge Of these facts,
the Board Of Examiners have had this ac-
ton referred to. We make reference here
to the veto message of his Excellency, the
Governor. concerning said BILL"
The last Legislature passed a bill such
as is described above, as introduced"
A bill of this character actually passed
both the Senate and Assembly; Frank
Proctor and other ex-members Of the Con-
stitutional Convention not hesitating to
vote for it, though it put some money in
their pockets If it became a law. But this
bill the Governor vetoed, on the ground
that the pay for Constitutional Conven-
ton members was q Territorial rather than
State charge; and under another law
Territorial bonds were issued by order Of
the State Board Of Examiners. Frank
Proctor-a member Of this Investigating
Committee-sold his claims for 800, and
now turns around in this report and chal-
lenges the action Of the Board Of Exam
liners. Frank voted himself cash-pay for
services as q Convention member but the
Governor vetoed the bill. Then the
Board issue these bonds; strictly in ac-
corrdance with the Governors views as
expressed in his veto message, and by au-
thorisy of a plain law warranting them in
so doing. II these bonds could not be
issued, then it was, most assuredly, wrong
to vote cash payment for the services in
dieated.
We have been led to concede that &C.
Lambert" was capable Of saying and do
ing contemplate mean things but we did
look for fairer action than is here shown,
on the part Of the only Copperhead in the
Legislature. We will therefore, in eon-
clusion, signify our willingness to publish
any apology that Frank may desire to
make.
