Now we believe that the State o
Nevada should be provided with Capt.
toll buildings. A structure should b.
erected on the Carson Plaza which
would accommodate not only the Senate
sad Assembly and their clerks and COM
mittees, but which should contain
rooms and office conveniencies for the
Supreme Court, the Governor and other
officers. Such a building could be
erected at a very reasonable sum; and,
as matter of economy, ii for nothing
else, ought to be built AS soon as pos
sible; and if the Legislature will make
a fair appropriation for the purpose,
they can, when they re-couvene in 1871,
find themselves pleasantly accommoda-
ted in halls and ante rooms within a
building which will do honor to the
State and stand monument to the
wisdom of those who provided for its
,rec,ion

PALESTINE ExPLoRATs0NS.-The follow
ing statement by Lieut.. Warren is not very
promising: In study ing the Holy Land it
was most disappointing to find dearth of
evidence as to sites of places. and the more
the matter was looked into, the more difficult
it became. There were points that were
known beyond contradiction, such as Jaffa,
Jerusalem, and others; but when details
we're sought, there was the most conflicting
evidence. All parties agreed that the Tenn
pie stood somewhere in a rectangular spot,
called by the names Of Haram and Moriah,
and that the Mount of Olives was on the
whole or partof hill indicated on the map.
1t was probable, too, that the valley of the
Kedron could be traced but about all other
points there were controversies and If he
made use of biblical names in speaking OF
places, he did so because they were generally
received names, and net because they were
established as such. The explorers must be
content, he feared. to be baffled and per-
picked for long time to come before they
could bring out Jerusalem as it was: for,
startling as it might appear. they had not a
single fixed point from which to commence.
For instance, though the Temple was known
to be on n particular space (the Moriah
Area), yet there Was space there for three
such sites; and Mount Sion was put to the
north Of Moriah BY some and to the west by
others Of authority"
