Senator Hutchins followed Senator
Sumner, and made a speech, which we
are assured, was very "binding' on the
Governor and his %junta, as well as con-
elusive on the main questions. He gave
a history of the whole proceeding"
from the last days of the past session
until the hour of his talking. He said
strange coincidence had been OBJ
served since Spring opened. On the
last night of the regular session, two
queer bills lay on the table Of the Secre-
tary Of the Senate; seeking passage and
finding none;-because there was one
man in the Senate-and he gave that
man all honor for his action on that oc-
casion-who had the courage n con-
science to stand up and talk the twin
creatures of iuiquity to death. The next
morning the Treasury was shut down
a coincidence" merely-and log-roll-
ing for an special session commenced.
Senator Hutchins reviewed with scath-
ing severity the remarks of the Lieuten-
aut-Governor, on adjourning the Senate
sine die. He then told the story
of a weeks "%caucusing among
members, for a special" rs he
had CLEANED it on the outside and
said he understood several, mot a ma
iority) Senators had signed a paper
pledgiug themselves to vote for o GER
tain Revenue Bill, taxing mines, if the
Governor would call an extra session.
And the Governor himself had gone out
on the streets and hailed and talked
with Senators who had expressed entire
dislike to him for his course, and beg
ged them to 60 for his Revenue Bill.
Was ever such q thing known before?
1t could only come from a Governor
who was able to say in his arrogance,
that hereafter no man should obtain II
a local or State Office in Nevada without
his consent! He then recited the his
tory of the present special session; how
it was that not until the Governors
Bill was actually before them, had the
opposition to the whole especial pro-
ceeding an opportunity to say more
than one word OF criticism on the proc
lamation and message he then took up,
and gave them such a 'going over"
that he left no chance for an apology.
He brought the figures "to bear, so for
chilly, puugently on the bald assertions
of His Intelligency, that on his conclu-
sion a.uumber of citizens of Carson who
listened to him, went inside the bar and
| congratulated him on his speech, and
conceded that they had been utterly
led astray from the demonstrated truth
by the statements Of the Governor. Ev-
cry word Of Hutchins' speech was to the
point, and carried q point-argumenta-
lively. He took and maintained the
true radical ground: No special session
needed; no change in present revenue
laws needed; last of all, permissible, a
change involving an increased burden
on mines. We hope to see Mr.. Hutch
ms speech in print in full; for good
Judges say, it was as sharp and exhaus-
tive a treatment of the subject as could
be devised.
Mr.. Proctor followed; and, if possible,
| Mr.. Cutter will furnish US with the data
for a synopsis, on tomorrow.
