Recess for hall an hour.

A az ES1ION OF PkiN IIfhE.
Mr. Mason-I rise to question OF PRIV
information. have received a communities
ton to-day from some person unknown to
me, which desire TO read:
ITO the Hon, B. s. Mason: You are
respectfully invited to attend compliment
tary ball to be given TO the members OF the
Nevada Legislature, &C.
presume there are great many men,
bers of this Senate who have received sim
liar honor. Mine is accompanied by card
to admit " Hon. Il. S. Mason and ladies'
Now, sir, d. "a to know, in tho first place,
whe' her any Capitol Appropriation Bill has
ANYTHING TO do with this ball. have under
stood that there was such a bill before the
other house, and did not knoT but this in
,itation to me might be an a@tmpt at bri-
berry. II there is any such thing intended l
wish you, Mr.. President, and the members
of this Senate to distinctly understand that
am not to be bribed by ball ucket-because
| was brought up Quaker. tMerriment. ]
The President-The chair cannot give any
information on the point.
Mr.. Has,ings-I supposed when the Sem
ator stated that he wished for information,
that it was in regard to the number Of la
dies n would be allowed TO take to the ball.
| can afford him little information on this
point if he desires it. l be lieve the number
is restricted to thirteen for each Senator and
eleven for member Of the house.
Mr.. MasoD-1n reply to that would say
my idea comedies exactly with that stated in
the White Pine News the other day be-
ing that of Brigham Young, the pillar Of
the Salt Lake Church; and his idea Of a
wife is " Lots" Merriment.
Assembly Bill No. AN Act to provide
for paying The Indebtedness Of EsmeEalda
County.
Passed.
Senate bill No. lo-An Act to amend the
Corporation Act.
Amended by the Assembly BY inserting
and for the location of lands for grazing
and timber purposes" the concurrence of
the Senate requested.
Mr.. Grey moved that the Senate non-con-
cur. Ii but threw a portion of the small
balance that was left the people into the
grasp Of corporations.
Mr.. Mason dissented from the views Of
sMr. Grey. In this country where there was
no natural irrigation it was necessary that
such an amendment as had teen proposed
bv the Assembly should be adopted.
Mr.. Welty agreed with Mr.. Grey. lie
thought the original law sufficiently conpre-
hensive. He did not think corporations
should be allowed for taking up lands for
grazing and timber purposes. 1t might
induce the grasping Of large portion Of the
best lands Of the State by capitalists from n
distance, who would hold them unused or
not as it suited their pleasure.
Mr. Haines differed and saw no lmpro-
priety whatere in the proposed amendments.
A great deal Of capital was often required to
maze timber land available, and i, might be
necessary to incorporate to make 1t sf value;
All countries had been developed by capital
aggregated in companies.
Mr. Grey had no special objection to cor
porations, but thought they should not be
allowed where business could be conducted
BY individuals He did not think it necessary
to allow inco.por alton in this particular.
Mr.. Haines thought capitalists should be
allowed the same privileges in these as IN
any other branches of business.
Senate refused to concur-ayes, Ii;
noes, l. =,
The other amendment proposed by the
House WAS also non-concurred in.
Assembly Bill NJ. 3j-An Act to amend
