THE CARSON AND VIRGINIA RAIL
ROAD

In a series of articles which have
heretofore appeared in the columns OF
this paper, the merits of certain propo-
Ritions bearing upon the construction OF
Virginia have been laid before our read
ers. Inasuuch as the matter is about
coming before the Legislature for its
action, We propose to briefly lay some
of the facts connected there with before
that body.
Il has been proposed by the projectors
OF ;te said railway enterprise to ask in
furtberance thereof, the aid of Ormsby
county laid from Storey and Douglas
has also been asked for, hut we propose
to deal with tie matter SO far as it af-
fects home Interests. The company
hare asked that 0rusby county donate,
in aid oftbe work, two hundred thou
sand dollars in seven per cent interest
bearing bonds said bonds to run if
teen years, their payment TO be provi.
ded for by an annual sinking fund. This
states the proposition and it is IN
necessary to repeat the arguments that
hs~e been used in its favor. Suffice to
sag. that carefully prepared figures have
demonstrated the feasibility Of the pro-
position aud shown the investment to
promis. good results. to the county.
Tnis matter has been laid before the |
people OF 0rmsby county and has met !
with most decided appreciation as the

SENATOR STEWARDS ELECTION.

The Republican members Of the Ne
vada Legislature performed an act yes
tsrday which resounds to their lasting
credit and to the glory and good name
Of the State. The votes upon the cleo
ton of a Senator had yesterday in the
two Houses are published in our report
of the proceedings of the Legislature;
scd We point with pride to the fact that
every Republican in each House, with
.he exception of one in the Assembly,
cast his vote for Mr. Stewart. Forty
nine out of the City votes of the men of
his party were cast for him. The gen.
teman who cast his vote for Mr.. Whit.
man Mr. Cleveland of Washoe), refused,
for reasons Of his own, to take part in
the caucus and has chosen to stand
alone 10 the matter. He is answerable,
for whatever of responsibility he has
thus taken upon himself, to his con
ssituency.
The vote bad yesterday is conclusive,
although there yet remains a form to be
observed before the election is compile.
ted. That form is set forth in the Act |
OF Congress concerning the election Of
Cnited Senators, As follows:
Each House shall openly, by rira
roce vote of each member present, name one
person for Senator in Congress from said
State, and the name of the person SO voted
FOR who shall have ma ority of the whole
number of votes cast il each House shall be
catered on the Journal OF each House by the
clerk or Secretary thereof; but If either
House shall fail to give a majority to any
person on that dav. the fact shall be entered
on the Journal. Al y O'Clock, Meridian, of
the day following that on which proceedings
are required to take place, as aforesaid, the
members of the two Houses shall convene in
Joint assembly and the Journal of each House
shall then be read. and if the same person
shall have received majority of all the votes
in each House, such person shall be declared
duly elected Senator to represent SAIL State
IN the Congress OF the United States.
This is the law as provided for the
case under consideration; aud to-day,
when the formula thus set forth is duly
observed VIM. II. Stewart will have IS
been elected to represent the State of
Ncrada in the Senate of the United 8
States for the term of six years from the
coming. 4,h day of March; and it will +
% the duty of the Governor aud Secre- !
airy of State to furnish him with GER
i6cate to that effect.
We congratulate the Senate of the a
United States of which Mr.. Stewart is
'alued and useful member; the State OF
Nevada which has thus secured the con- |
inued services Of a tried and faithful \
errant; the Legislature, the party at

Position OF the Paducah ssKen-
tuckiau.s,

The Paducah KentuchtaR is unduly
sarcastic over an editorial of ours, and
accuses us of mistating its position. We
certainly have no such desire. The de-
ductions of the COURIER were from a
careful reading of the Kentuckians, and
we think were logical and correct. How
ever, to do ample and full justice, we
publish the Kentuckian's own statement
of its position. Referring to our article
it says:
"This is the most disingenious statement
of our position that could have been made,
and but for the high opinion we had con-
ceived of the editor of the COURIER, would
not be worthy of notice. We said in the
article referred to, "we endorse all the
Herald SAYS in regard TO the NECESSITY of
State aid and the benefit to be derived from
it," And we say now, we have never seen
State with so great natural resources, so
far behind in improvements as Kentucky is
to-day. and she needs all the aid she can get
from the State or otherwise to develope her
resources-but in no '' other article in the
same paper" or in any other paper, or on
any other occasion, or at any other time,
does the KentuckidH recommend Kentucky
to create similar debt" On the other hand
our object was to convince the people of
Kentucky that the Legislature had no power
| under the constitution to involve the State
for internal improvements.
As we have frequently stated in the dis
cussion of this question, we would be in
favor of the State lending her credit, Ami T.
! edty 10 railroads, that is to few great
throuaxp line roads that would pay, if the
cons Jon did not directly prohibit it
RsdJ Kenmekian.
You endorse the necessity and admit
| the great benefits to be derived from
State aid, regret the Consultation prohib-
its it, and yet do not favor the PROPOSE
ton? You are in favor of lending the
States credit, lmitedB to railroads,
that is to few great through lines that
would pay but admit that ,ie Consti-
tu'.eu directly prohih;t, Il, aud therefore
acknowledge yourself not in favor OF
that? You fail TO urge the calling of a
convention to amend the Constitution,
the only way whereby your objecSons
can be removed, and We must therefore
conclude you are not in favor of amend
ing the Constitution. Now. sir, it is
clear to see, what you are not in favor of

same time appear to keep within the let
ter. 1t may be that the constitutional
ty of the proposed measure, is sustained
by every lawyer of any ability in the
Herald's particular locality, but there
are lawyers of distinguished ability
within the range of our acquaintance,
who agree with US, that the 'great meas
ure," can only be carried out by an utter
disregard of the Constitution.
We are sorry to be compelled to differ
with our friend of the Herald, but with
our present convictions, we cannot fail
to do all in our power to prevent the
adoption by the people of scheme,
which in our opinion will end in financial
ruin to our State.

The People Not to Pay any Tax.

"Nor win this cost the people a single
dollar of taxes, or any thing else. Not one
cent will they ever have to pay. But on the
contrary, it viii do sor us what it has done
for other States-it with give to the State
Treasury a revenue which will almost if not
entirely relieve the people from taxation

The experiment in Kentucky condemns
your calculations as erroneous and ruin

to the fact that when the Legislature ap-
propriates money theyhave it to pay. Let
us argue the question fairly, and coun-
tenance no humbuggery. Why the Con-
stitution expressly requires that no debt
over half million shall be created with
out providing in the bill the means of
payment in thirty years. Look at Gen.
Preston's bill, and you will see tax all
through it.
But, you say, the State is to derive an
income from these internal improve
ments. Instance your Paducah and Gulf
Road. 1t cost one and a quarter million
dollars, and sold under mortgage for
s350,000; and McCracken county has
10 pay the interest on 100000, she
voted for thirteen years yet, and then
the 100000, and we learn there is no
provision made to pay the principal.
