THE KEETING OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE

islAture of tho State of Nevada W
assemble. The hustle of organizatiC
concluded, much business of great il
portance will como before the tv
houses. There are but sixty days
which to transact this business ; an
while due elaboration should chara,
terizs their proceedings, the represeI
tatives of the people will best perforr
their duties by unfagging industry an
promptness of action. We conceive
to be a misfortune that the consti,utio
is so framed as to provide for biennia
sessions for a new State, for whiel
there is, necessarily, much peculiar leg
islation, should have the benefit of a
least yearly assembling of its Law
makers.
The first business in order, after the
organization of the Legislature, is the
election of a Senator of the United
States. This matter is entirely in the
hands of the Union members-they be
ing in a very large majority in both
houses-and there being but one candi
date prominently before the party, and
'hs bulk of the Republican members
being pledged to vote for him, there is
no doubt that the choice will fall upon
the Hon. VIM. N. Stewart. We believe
it to be proper, however, as in sustain
ment of we'll established incident Of
party usage, that a caucus Of the Union
Senators and Assemblymen should be
held. 1t may be urged that in the pres
ent case it is mere form, and there
fore unnecessary but it is in order
that 30 proper a form should be pre-
served for future use that we advocate
its observance in this instance
The most important legislation with
which the present body will have to
leal is that affecting the States Finan-
.es. 1t is to be hoped that we'll ma
ured plan may receive the action Of
he Legislature at an early day. This
9 made all the more desirable from the
act that at present the whole machinery
t tie State government is hindered
rom lack of fuuds-,bs bulk of the |
preparations being e1hausted-and
he public business being necessarily
on a credit-which, as must
70 seen at a glance, is calculated to TO-
olive the State in onerous liabilities
nd obstruct the action of the Depart
rents.
1t would be useless to attempt to par
cularize the many measures which are
n foot for the consideration of the two
onses. Much special legislation will
e sought and while mnch is needed,
lat character of work should be dealt
it'll carefully and summarily. We
ave no doubt that our old friend
Thiering Bill" will be around, as
'ual ; and we hope so soon as be makes
5 appearance he may be not only com ,
ehended but apprehended but he /
i'll come in all sorts of DISCUSSES and u
ION all sorts of errands and it will p
ke wary watching to catch him and ;,
arp dealing to get rid Of him. c
1t is generally conceded that the pres a
t Legislature is composed of better 4
.terial than any of its predecessors Is
e meeting of tomorrow noon, then, Il
II be held under promising auspices
d it is confidently hoped that his
y of the proceedings which are about
be commenced will fully justify the ;,
cd opinion now entertained of those or
10 are to participate 10 them. ,.s
With this brief " message" respect ,.,
ly delivered, the APPEAL wishes. pc
m out the general body of :" the ~
I'd house." that the Fourth Nevada er
gislature may conduct their business ttee
supply all needed aud er
per laws, and, when they adjourn, " "
We the State better, more prosper an
and more fi'ly prepared for its fu- !, nc
e functions than they found it. " And !
