THINGS AT THE CAPITAL.

TeAAAN 49,
in House and in Committees. But last
nigh, the session was prolonged to an unu-
sual hour; until about half-past ten. At
half-past nine there was q thin House;
and a ~"call" was accordingly ordered.
So soon as it was moved, Hinckley and
Hayden, Of Lander, started for the door,
and vamosed the Legislative ranch. This
was in evident purpose of avoiding the
OBTAINING force of u "call." Immedi-
ately, thereupon, the Sergeant-at-Arms
was dispatched for absentees, and Hinck-
ley returned on simple notice. Not SO
with Mr.. Hayden. He went to his quar-
tiers, in the White House, and when the
Sergeant-at-Arms tapped at his door, he
opened the window Of his chamber and
leaped out. The officer reporting these
facts to the House, Wood introduced q
preamble and resolution, which wound up
by imposing a fine of S26 on Mr.. Hay
den, for contempt"
Hayden was finally captured, and
brought inside the bar; but the preamble
and resolution says that he can no more
participate in the Assembly proceedings
until he has paid his fine. So there is
apt to be a discussion on Hayden's privi-
leges this morning.
During the "call" Lane moved that
the Assembly Chamber be granted to
JEFF. Work, of Lander; that the said in
dividual have an opportunity to dance a
Highland Fling. As JEFF. is still a cripple,
from the effects of his slip-fall in Austin,
last November, the intended "goak" can
be supposed.
Under q "call" yesterday afternoon, a
motion was made that the Lords Prayer
be sent up to the desk, in order that Orion
Clemens may have an opportunity to offer
an amendment.
The Assembly yesterday adopted amend
ments to the Virginia City Charter, by
which the Board Of Aldermen are legis-
lated into office until next January. Geo.
F. Jones was down at Carson, logging for
the provision referred to. How do the
people OF Virginia like the idea Of having
the present City Fathers legisla.ed into
Office: Not much, we warrant! We
look to the Senate to defeat this anti-Re-
publican action.
DR.. Bronson, of the Charity-6rm Of
Tucker s Bronson, was also down at the
capital; having announced that he would
get $4,000 from the Legislature, oil

There is a party in Carson every even
ing this week. Tonight mot last night,
as incorrectly advertised there is q levee
at the Governors. The price Of chocolate
has advanced IS per cent.
The Governor sent in his first veto mes
sage of the session, or yesterday. The
tabooed bill passed the Senate, over the
Governors head, by a unanimous vote.
The bill places the Supreme Judges on a
par with other State officers, in that it
makes quarterly settings apart for their
salaries-thus giving the Judges green
backs, as we'll as the balance Of common
wealth officials. If the Judges veto is
sustained by the Assembly, the practical
effect is said to be to give their Honors
coin for a year to come. Senator Seely,
in a brief but caustic speech on the veto,
plainly intimated that the Supreme Judges,
or one or two Of them, had put the Gov
ernor sup" to this veto, on their behalf.
After this decision. it is decidedly cheeky
for either Of the long term chaps to de-
mand this veto. Perhaps Senator Seely Is
mistaken but we think it quite likely that
Judge Beatty did innoculate His Excel
lency with constitutional objections, etc.
The veto comes up in the Assembly to-
day.
In the Assembly, on yesterday, Gray,

made & strong report in favor of the Or
