WHITE PINE AGAIN.
Mr. Uillyer offered the following

Mr.. Hillyer offered the following
Resolved by the Assembly the Senate
concurring that in the formation of new
counties where an organization is deemed
necessary before the next succeeding gen.
eral election the county officers for the in
term should in accordance with the spirit
of our popular representative government
be chosen by the qualified electors of the
new county at special election TO be ordered
and regulated by law passed for that pur-
pose.
Mr. Hillyer said that he had offered the
resolution for the purpose of determining as
to the policy of the two houses relative t.
the election of officers in new counties.
Mr.. Tenant moved to make the cunsid-
Grafton of the Resolution the special order
for Monday at u o'clock NJ. He desired
such action for the reason that the persons
most interested in the formation of new
county would like some time TO consider the
proposition.
Mr.. Mayhugh conceded with Mr.. Ten
nant on the proprie,y of atfording all par
ties time for consideration.
Agreed to.
The Assembly Bill, An Act to repeal the
Act prohibiting tthe Carrying of concealed
weapons-together with the substitute re-
ported by the Committee on Public Morals
was considered. Mr.. Corbett in the chair.
Ir. Doolin said that he could not see
that the substitute would be any more eff
fectual in the way Of preventing the carry
ing of concealed weapons than the one
which the original Bill proposed to repeal
and he was opposed TO 1t.
Nh Gray, the chairman of the Committee
on Public Morals, said that the substitute
Bill provided for the more effectual CARRYING
out Of the law. He regarded the original
Bill to repeal, as an acknowledgements on
the part of the State that it could not carry
out its moral laws.
Mr.. Tenant moved to indefinitely post
ponh the substitute Bill and that the Bill to
repeal the old law be ordered engrossed.
Mr.. Atkinson moved as a substitute that
the Bill be rscommitted to the Judiciary
Committee to review 1t and make 1t more
stringent. He said that under the present
law he had had some experience as Justice of
the Peace in Virginia City, and that in some
cases the ingenious lawyers had construed
the word travellers so as to include per-
sons from Gold Hill visiting Virginia. He
should like to see that part of the law ex-
empting travellers from its provisions so
amended as to properly define the word .rav-
elers.
MIR. Cleveland said that he was in favor Of
the passage of the bill to repeal the farsical
old law He believed in giving the small
men a show as against the great bully and
could be made applicable to that class of per-
sons who had no visible means of support.
Mr.. Tenant said that he knew the law
was enforced in his county, for he pursued
hardly an issue of the Reveille, published at
Austin, which did not record arrests and con
victions for the carrying of concealed
weapons.
Mr.. Hillyer favored tho proposition to re-
commit the bill to the Judiciary Committee,
in order that its provisions might be made
more stringent. He, for one, did not feel
disposed to repeal law, having such a NOR
al effect as was intended to have.
Mr.. Anderson thought that the bill should
be SO amended as to offer some inducemcnt
in the way of compensation for the enforce
ment of the law. II such inducement as
that would result in protecting the HorntoWn
lambs from the Slippery GuLch wolves, he
would be satisfied.
Mr.. Woodwork said that in his county
UIumboldt), he had acted as Sheriff for the
past two years, and that it was there regarded
as farce, and was never enforced.
Mr.. Burlingame favored rscommltment.
and wanted it so amended as to make peace
officers liable to heavy fine, for failure TO
enforce the law in cases coming to their
knowledge.
Mr.. Welch regarded the old law as good
one, and one calculated to save great many
valuable lives. He had voted for its passage
at the last session, and after due considera-
ton did not regret it.
The bill was recommitted to the Committee
on Judiciary.
