The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1869-02-20

the Legislature Of Nevada grants the pit
lance asked for in this bill toward her sup
port and her companions in misfortune. In
| so doing Nevada will not be alone in the
| care of her orphans. California at every
session of her Legislature passes similar
bill, and in so doing carries out the
wishes of her generous people. To the
gentlemen, and my colleague from Storey
| County, whose homes are in the in
utediate vicinity of the Asylum, and
who perhaps arc pretty well acGua i;ited with
its wants and necessities, l would state that
| the passage Of this bill is to us and them
measure much to be desired. The people Of
Storey Courtyard l will give them the
credit of unb0undcd generoSity-haye hereto
fore, and l am confident will in the future,
if this Legislature refuses to grant the de-
sired relief, support with their voluntary con-
tributions such a desirable institution as
they deem the Orphan Asylum to be.
But, Mr.. Speaker, think it very unjust on
the part OF the Representatives of the State
to ask the people Of Storey County to bear
all the burden of an institution and the only
one II. the State where the helpless and the
fatherless tnd home. 1t is general IL !ts
character and therefore should receive some
aid direct from the State.
From nv intercourse and acquaintance
with the members OF the House. | take them
to be gentlemen who can sympathlEe WIN
pover., and misfortune, who can feel for the
father.ess little ones of our State, whom
death has deprived OF their natural protcc-
tors and who will evince their regard for
their welfare by passing into 4 law the PIES
ent bill before them for their consideration.

ted.
Adopted.
Pursuant to hotice, Mr.. Bowman mored
to reconsider the vote by winch the memo
ria. to Congress, asking for the annexation
of the territory south Of Snake river, to this
State, passed on yesterday.
Mr.. Bowman said that the State was
ALREADY large enough in area, and this annex
alton would only impose increased expense
upon the State to prevent Indian depreda-
tons.
Mr.. Wcch said that the Committee on
Federal Relations had recommended the
passage OF the resolution for the reason that
il would prove valuable acquisition in
mines and agricultural land. The State was
i'll debt. and he held that it was policy for it
to increase its taxable property.
Mr.. Mayhu.h said one of the arguments
against the resolution was that the people Of
the territory proposed to be annexed, were
m1in!y Democrats. If the Republican party
was afraid Of two or three hundred Demo-
cratic ma jority, he was not. lie was in favor
of taking the territory and converting them
into good Union men.
Mr.. Brown said that the inference would
be taken from Mr.. Mayhugh's remarks that
there were no Union men in the Democratic
party. lIs denied that ha'ly.
The reconsideration prevailed.

POLL TAX AND REGISTRATION.

IA the consideration OF the Bill now
pending, providing for the registration
CT voters, the Senate on Yesterday re-
fused, very wisely, to strike out the
OF poil-tax as condition of regis;ra-
t;oa. Among the participants in the
debate upon the question was Mr.. Tritle;
and We were struck viii, the force Of
that gentleman views. In reply to
the assertion that the said requirement
worked hardship to the poor laboring
man, he urged the fact that the man
who worked and earned wages was com
PEELED to pay his poll tax whether be
had his name registered or not and
further, that unless this condition prec
eient was exact-d, the idlers aud raga-
bonds of society were exempted from
compliance with requirement which
was invariably e1acted from the work
ing man. This is fair statement Of
the case, SO far as the merits so in
VOWED are concerned: and when Mr..
T-..le further urged that The State
reeded the revenue collected by means
OF the provision of lay under discus
sion, be stated what all who are at
all familiar with the States affairs mus,
know to be true. Let us lock at some
figures bearing upon this matter. BY
reference to the Controllers Report we
fad tina: by collection of State Poll
Taxes 10 the year 1861 the State derived
a revenue of bat 1851 60 while in
1868, the amount received from this
source was S3o,75. Os. Here is diff
ference in the two years in favor OF
the State Of n ore than thirty thousand
dollars. What makes this difference
1t is almost needless to say that there
was no election and therefore no regis
t-a,ica in 1867 and that there Was an
election and general registration of
voters in 1868. Ii is not yerturesome
prediction to say tina; during the pres
ent year there will be large falling off
from the receipts of the last year from
the fact tina: no general election is to
DO held. These facts, taken in connec-
ton with the States great need of rev.
cnue would seem to furnish forth an
argument in favor of the existing law
which cannot well be disputed.
