Another batch or rslssr.ph BlIls.

We have before us another lot Of telegraph
propositions which have been brought forward
for the inspection Of our august Congress. One,
presented by Mr.. Conkling, appears to be
first class job OF no small proportions. Then
Mr.. Corbett sticks in his bill for an exclusive
right to land cables on the Pacific coast for
fourteen years. In other words, to land
cable half inch in diameter he wants the
whole Pacific coast of the United States to do
it in. How contracted the Pacific shore must
be-!
Then Mr.. Cole sticks in his little bill. Sec
tion three of this is excessively modest It
says s:-sIn order to aid and encourage the said
international telegraph cable communication
between the United States and China, across
and under the Pacific Ocean, there is hereby
granted to the aforesaid company, for the
purpose Of constructing operating and main
tanning said telegraph cable or cables and
lines, three sections Of any unappropriated
public lands for each and every mile Of tele-
graph cable or line that may be constructed
under this act" Splendid telegraph line, only
three sections wide! wire three miles thick to
one mile long! What an electric shock that
will give old Mother Earth!.
Then Mr.. Ramsay presents his bill to facili-
tate communication with Europe. which simply
asks to be permitted to lay the cable Of the
american Atlantic Cable Telegraph Com
pany" by any practicable route to Europe.
Among our telegrs phic troubles we find that
the monopolists are attempting to defeat the
French company from landing their cable on
our shores. We are pleased to observe that
Senator Stockton is opposing these monopo-
lists. We want as many cables as possible
between us and Europe, and there should be
no restrictions placed upon our coast line by
any State or any corporation, or by the general
government

MISTAKEN CoSCLUsloS.-ln the debate
Of a motion, ia the Assembly yesterday,
on the Virginia and Trucke0 Railroad
bill, we find the following in the Legis-
lative report Of the Carson appeal Of
this morning
Mr.. Potter favored Mr.. ~Burlingame's
motion. He said that his constituents had
been deceived in the procurement OF their
signatures to the petitions. II had been rep
resented TO them that the railroad was TO
have been constructed from Virginia to the
Truckee, forming a junction with the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad-whcreas the bill pro-
vided that these bonds should be issued to a
company constructing a railroad from VIZ
ginia to Carson only. This was the misrep-
resentation he referred to-consequently he
was in favor Of granting time to those who
had been deceived to right themselves.
Mr.. Potter is either Intentionally or
ignorsntly disappearing his constitu-
ents on this subject. We undertake to
say that we know more about the senti-
ments of the real taxpayers Of Gold Hill
on this subject han he does; and no
does his constituents a gross wrong
when he asserts that they were deceived
in signing the petition referred to.
Our facilities for finding out the
wishes Of the men who pay taxes
in this community are very good-far
better than Mr.. Potter's; and, on the
honor of a gentleman, we do say, that
we know of but one man in all Gold
Hill who signed the petition, who has
expressed a wish to have it off. So
much for that.

SEYNoun's MAJORITY IN NEW YORK
In ascsrtaining Seymour's majority
over Grant in New York, says the
Spirit of the Times, we arc not to be con-
fined to the vote for Electors at Large,
but We are to take any vote on the tick
ct. Now, we find that two Electors on
the Grant ticket got higher votes than
either Selden or Roberts, and this is
Grants strength, to be set against the
highest vote on Seymour's ticket, which
was Slocum's. 1t is not to be lost
sight Of that the people voted for Sey-
mour and Grant on u general ticket
containing many nominees. The high
est vote on S%eymour's ticket, is to be
reckoned for him, and the highest for
General Grants for him. The highest
on the Seymour ticket is 429, ss3 for
Sloeum +; the highest on Grants ticket
is 44s ,9l5, received by Geo. s. Batchel-
lor, and also by Patrick c. Costello.
Take 4l9,9l5 from 42s 1893, and there
remains 9,90s, which is Seymour's ma
jority. Those who have laid money
that Seymour would get 10000 majori-
t, in this State have lost, unless Con-
gress should throw out the vote Of New
York, in which case the bets should be
| drawn.

SLIGHT OPPOSITION.

Storey County has twelve members in
the Assembly. Judging by the vote
taken yesterday on the motion to make
the bill appropriating $4,000 in
Storey County bonds for the con-
struetiou of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad, three Of our Assemblymeu,
Nessrs. B~urlingams, Potter, and Bur-
son, seem to be opposed to the Railroad
bill as it stands. As far as we can un-
derstand their opposition, however, it
is frivolous-aud we to-day heard con-
siderable sharp talk on the part of their
Gold Hill constituents at the course
they are pursuing. We ever heard sew
eral large taxpayers wonder whether
these gentlemen considered themselves
as representing their oVn views and in
t~erests, or those of the people Of Storey
County. Nine Of our Assemblymen are
in favor Of the railroad, and acting in
oOculohSC w NV SsAOh SNhs ava
by twenty-six hundred taxpayers. The
bill authorizing this small assistance
toward an expensive and highly impor-
tant public enterprise has been pub
lished and republished in the Storey
County papers, and the people who were
mostly interested in 1t are fully cogni-
zant Of its provisions and obligations
and we have yet to see more than a single
person who signed the petition to aid the
railroad who wishes his lame removed
from it. We hope Messrs. Potter, Bur-
lingame and Burson will consider we'll
how they act in the premises. An in
digusnt constituency, when its dis
pleasure has been aroused by an uu-
faithful public servant, is a terrible
monitor,

A DAILY newspaper cannot be what
is called consistent. 1t is obliged to
make up its mind too promptly on every

its own afterthought. If it is repre-
sentative of the sentiment of the hour

evidently have = great deal to take

their new facts to teach it. A vey con-
sistent newspaper, therefore, is general

NOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.

Mr.. Burlingame renewed his motion.
Mr.. Hillyer opposed the motion.
There had been various propositions
before the people of Storey for II rail-
road connecting them with the outside
world, and the varying prospects Of the
lower levels had prevented such action
being contaminated. Now a PROPOSE
ton had been submitted to tho people,
had been thoroughly discussed by the
people and in the columns Of the Terri
torial Enterprise, q paper Of general cir
culstion, and had been approved both
by the people and that paper. Four
ifths of the property owners had petit
toned in favor Of the measure, and
there is need Of its speedy passage, as
the winter was the proper time for tho
grading of the road.
Mr.. Burliugame stated that he had re-
csiyed numerous letters from the tax
payers Of Storey stating that they had
been deceived in signing the petition.
They had been led to believe that the
road vas to connect Virginia with the
Central Pacific Railroad somewhere on
the Truckee, and there was nothing in
the bill before the House guaranteeing
such connection.
John Piper, q largo taxpayer Of Vir.
ginia, was in town last evening, and he
protested against the passage Of the bill
before the Assembly.
Mr.. Potter hoped the motion Of Mr..
Burlingame would prevail.
After further discussion, in which
Nessrs. Potter. Brown, Hillyer and Bur.
lingame participated, the motion Of Mr..
Burlingame was carried by the follow
ing vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Barney, Bowman, Bur-
son, Bunker, Burlingame, Clark, Cleve.
