is true. certain Unionists did express
themselves of the belief that Andy John
son had gone plumb to hell, meaning, of
course, Copperheadism, and that Bill
Stewart was seen riding OF a pale horse
shortly after but such incorporate and
perhaps unwarranted language came from
the latter TO special friends Of the long
term Senator, who experienced peculiar
modification at their favori,e's course in
sustaining the veto; but not even this
class in,imated that any detection from
the right on the part of the President or
Of our Senators could avail for the disor-
ganization of the great national party.
1t will be observed that the Senate
lacked W votes only of a two-thirds vote,
sufficient to override the veto; and that
three OF the Senators elected from the Pa
cihc coast as Union en-tw Of them
Stewart and McDougalO on Union"
principles, particularly-three of our Sem
atorial delegation IN Congress sustained
the President. So the Union men of the
Pacific coast have to look at their own
doors respecting the veto support.
If the news of q disagreement had come,

in the Assembly.
The Joint Committee on State Prison
have made q report. Of which we intend
TO make a review at some future day.
Properly considered, it will appear a more
remarkable document than the Report of
the Select Committee on the Board of Ex-
aminers. We may mention, in this con-
n~ectiOn, arather amusing incident: When
the Committee were at the Prison, and
while several of the members were in the
large hall OF the Institution, Mr.. Haskell,
OF Esmeralda, stood up in the midst and
remarked: Why these are a good look
ing set Of men /; 1 don't believe I would
be afraid to trust myself among such a lot
OF men," Replied one Of the convic,s:

outside. u d-n sight. I wouldn't have
been here, either, if l had had $40 to give
the policeman! He said that that was all
he wanted to let up on me-"
The Assembly has passed a bill legis-
lating Constables into office for two years.
Also, legislating Justices into office for
one year. We deem this an inexcusable
violation Of the rights of the people. If
this practice is once commenced and suf-
fered, where will it end All the argu-
mens ventured forth for such invasion Of
the popular prerogasive, is " convenience
! of election Of all officers at one general
election. Let tho convenience" be
established from and after the term Of the
present officers regularly expires. This
legislating, Mayors, Aldermen, Justices
and Constables into Office, from seven
months up to three years. is an outrage ;
and such proceeding cannot be character
lied BY any other term. We look to the
Union men of the Senate to put q quietus
on the proposition.
We understand that the irrepressible
Bronson (his name should have been
"Tonson,') will have another bill intro
duced into the Senate to-day. It appro-
pirates $4,000 for the care Of the "1n-
sane Of Nevada! Suffering mother Of
Moses! But the impudence Of this Doc
tor is incomprehensible-at least, it is
sublime. Ten thousand dollars for the
e insane of this State. when there is only
one insane person in the S,ate-if we eS-
cept Bronson himself! We wonder what
this man Bronson will take to leave the
Ssates If the county Of Storey aud State
of Nevada could purchase the everlasting
absence from these parts of Jones, Grim
and Bronson, at 4 reasonable figure, we
would certainly recommend the appropri-
ation-Sl0, 900 for the care Of the insane
man recently captured at Dayton. Only
$4,000! Suffering -; but we de-
sist. Brother Hayden, the English Die
tionary Is inadequate, and even Ameri-
canisms fail to reach the point in this in
stance. We succumb to the force Of emo
ton on this occasion (; merely repeating,
$40, 900 to Bronson (and Jones), for lock-
ing up the wild man from Lander and
Lyon. Let us-weep!
