GENERAL PILE.
Memorial u resolution, rela-
tive to increasing the amount allowed by
the United States to the State of Nevada
for establishing National banks therein,
was passed by the following vote:
YEAs-Doran, Hastings, Haines, Hutch.
ings, Hobart, Ives, James, Lambert, Lock-
wood, Proctor, Seely, Slingerland, Sum-
ner, Thompson, Tritle. Winton-l6.
An Act to provide for the establish
ment Of a cabinet was considered. n
Mr.. Seely said he should vote against
the bill. He said the State should not be
put to the hazard of leaving its General
Fund depleted by paying express charges
on every little piece of rock, from q thou
sand different claims that may be sent to
the Librarian. He thought it would be
better to appropriate a certain sum-, say
$4,000, or even $4,000. and appoint an
agent, whose duty it should be to collect
specimens for the cabinet. This would
be much more economical than were the
provisions Of this bill. He favored the
proposition for a State Cabinet, but the
bill was too deficient to pass.
Mr.. Lambert said a cabinet was a very
desirable thing, but he thought this bill
vas insufficient to attain the object de-
sired, and had many imperfections. He
would be obliged to vote against it, al
though in favor Of the proposition.
Tho hill xsaa laid IN th tahIn
An Act to provide for the publication
Of Laws and Resolutions passed during
the second session Of the Legislature Of
Nevada.
Mr.. Lockwood wanted to know why
an appropriation was recommended by the
committee to publish these laws, when
last year it was done gratis. The news
papers would publish the laws as n matter
Of news, without pay. This bill provides
for furnishing every official with a copy Of
the newspaper containing these laws.
Why is this dones 1t was well known
that every official took the papers anyway,
and it was an unnecessary expense.
Mr.. Haines said he could never consent
to vote $4,000 for the publication Of the
laws. There are many charitable purposes
that money could be appropriated for much
more worthy than this. He had been in
formed that our bonds would not be to-
ken, and there was no probability Of our
having any money in the treasury till the
taxes were paid in. We therefore should
exercise the most rigid economy in all ap-
preparations.
Mi. Seeley said he was opposed to this
bill ; that there was nc necessity to make
provision for paying for the printing Of
these laws. The newspapers would be
only glad to publish them as a matter Of
general news.
graphic dispatch from an editor in Vir-
ginia, who offered to publish these laws
for $500, and he favored cutting down
the amount to that sum. Forthe infor-
nation Of Mr.. Haines he would state that
Treasurer Rhoades was on his way over
here with $4,000 o raised upon the State
bonds, and our treasury was not in as
d%ilapidated a condition as was represented.
The further consideration of the bill
was postponed, and it was ordered printed.
Assembly Bill, An Act to Legalize the
acts of Edward Coldrar, Thomas Plain
and William H. Taylor, as County Com
missioners Of Churchill county during the
year 1866, was taken up.
Mr.. Sumner, by leave, had a dispatch
read by the Clerk, stating that the State
bonds had been taken and the money
would soon be here.
Resolution by Mr.. Lambert. directing
the Sergeant. at Arms to draw his warrant
on the Senate Contingent Fund in favor
Of B. F. Small, Postmaster. for Sl34 81,
was adopted.
The Senate went into executive session,
for the consideration of the bill providing
$4,000 for q State Secret Service Fund.
