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


Mr.. Mills suggested that the south line o.
the new county should be the present line
between Nye and Lander counties as sur.
viewed by Surveyor Reed in 1868.
This last suggestion prevailed.
Mr. Tenant moved to amend By striking
out the name of T. r. Crandley and inserting
in lieu thereof the name of I. NJ. Luther.
He said that the people Of White Pine had
expressed preference for him. Luther was
a Republican, while Crandley was Demo-
crat. 1t was burning shame that a Repub-
lican Legislature should appoint Demo-
crat. His colleage-Mr. Mills-had by dex-
ferrous maneuvering slipped in a Democrat
| in the bill, and he was entitled to the encom-
iums OF the Democratic party.
Mr.. Cleveland moved a substitute to
, strike out the entire section which named the
officers.
| Mr.. Tenant accepted the substitute and
the same was negatived.
Mr.. Bowman moved to amend by striking
out all that related to the payment Of any
portion of Nye county Indebtedness.
Agreed TO.
Mr.. Wetch offered amendment so as
to provide that Hamilton, Treasure City and
Shermantown should each constitute jus
tees precinct and that the County Commits
soners appoint the Justices of the Peace and
Constables.
Adopted.
Mr.. Mills explained that he had favored
the establishment of the south line of the
county on the one run by Reed in 1858, for
the reason that if he persisted in taking
much of Nye county as he desired il might
defeat, the bill, and he was willing 20 make
some concession for the purpose OF securing
the organization Of the new county
The question being on the final passage OF
the bill
Mr.. Tenant moved that when the clerk
call the roll the final passage of the bill
he omit the names of Speaker Addison and
Mr.. Hanford, and said before his conclusion,
he would give his reason for the motion, as
it might he reasonably expected he had one.
He said that the manner in which this bill
was being put through was Infamous. The last
Legislature had been given disreprtable
reputation. but If this bill should be passed,
this Legislature would acquire five times as
unenviable reputation. Why, said he, the
passage OF this Act would comparatively
make the last Legislature one Of puritanical
innocence BY the side of this one. Never be-
fore had SO great an outrage as tn, forcing
OF officers upon a people bva bill been per-
pe;rated in this State, and that too against
the expressed wish of his constituency. He
said that the members whose names he de-
sired omitted on roll call could not vote for
the reason that they were personally inter
eStcu, one IN the once OF COUNTY l X, tIle
other in that of County Recorder.
He charged Speaker Addison was inter |
ested in the former and gave as his authori- |
~ for saying it the name of Charles i. |
belong, and intimated that he had positive |
proofs Of Mr.. Hanford's interest.
The Speaker called Speaker pro tenn May |
hugh to the chair
MIR. Speaker said the House had no doabt |
been greatly edited by the remarks of Mr.. |
Remnant together with his comparison Of
the present to the last Legislature. 1t was
fortunate for the members Of this House |
that it had Just a little leaven from the last |
one in the person of Mr.. Tenant. lie de-
MED that he had any interest IN the passage
Of the bill other than that of mere personal |
friendship for some OF the officers named. |
He regarded the attack as cowardly in its |
nature.
Mr.. Hanford denied that he was in any
way interested in the results Of the bill.
Mr.. Aikison moved the previous question
Mr. Tenant said ne thought it entirely |
out of place for the Speaker to make that
motion and carry his character through |
without investigation under its operations.
The main question was ordered.
The House refused TO order the clerk to
omit the names of Messrs. Addison and
Hanf0rd when calling the roll.
BY consent, Mr.. Cleveland remarked that
the passage of the bill was in violation OF
a cardinal feature OF the Declaration of In
and of the right. OF the people
of White Pine. Had they been consulted
about the officers named No !; their rights
had been trampled under foot. This bill
proposed TO food them with a horde of Of
tice-seckers who had probably never placed
4 foot the soil of White Pine. Look at
the injustice Of permitting clique OF men
AT this place furnishing officers for White
Pine, who don't know and could not find
their way there without guide board. Why
not give these Offices to the sturdy pioneers
and trospcct0rs by whose means this rich
had been discovered and developed.
BY leave Mr.. Eillyer said he had been
more anxious to secure the organization Of
the county than he had been particular as
though, it the one most likely 10 pass. In
al the opposition made he had heard no
charge made against the reputation OF the
1tiacrs named lii the bill.
The Bill passed by the following vote: :
Ieas-Barncy. Bowman, Brown, Burson,
Burlingame, Clark, Coibett, Dangberg, t
Doolin, Ford Gray, Hanfnrd, Hanson, Hill

tote just taken.
