THE BONDsMEN's BILL.

The question, "Shall this bill
pass Notwithstanding the objection
of the Governor" will come up to
day in the Senate. It would be to
doubt the clear understanding and
consistency of the majority of that
body to entertain a doubt of the dis
position of that question. The Sen
ate will doubtless reiterate its for
mer opinion regarding the justice
and expediency of this measure; and
the Assembly will not fail to reassert
its liberality of judgment, even
though it should run counter to the
conclusions and purposes of the Ex-
ecutive in SO doing. Let the Legis-
lature not fail to sustain itself and
reassert its prerogative in dealing
with matters of policy.
The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1873-02-26

feature is its too prominent corrup-
ton; and there is vague sense Of
Congress having dipped its hands into
thing which had been better let en-
tirely alone. We have had good
cause to lose faith in the boosted and
long guarded integrity of certain
public men without hardly knowing
why. An inquisition has been held
only to develope lamentable pow
erty of conclusion and a still more
lamentable inadequacy of positive
action. It is pity but the Forty
second Congress could be set back
to that point in its history which an
tedates this Credit Mobilier business
and from thence take course which
should ignore its consideration as
an unclean thing, from the handling
and Investigation of which nothing
better or more benefcent than vast
and vague scandal could ever be
evolved.

ANNUAL REPORTS OF STATE Of
FICERS.

We heartily commend the bill in
troduced into the Senate by DR..
Hazlett, providing for the annual
publication of their reports by the
various State officers. Much of the
prevailing delay in legislation is due
to the existing system of belated re-
ports-necessarily belated when the
officer has to wait until the end of
two entire fiscal years before making
up his statements This bill con-
templates the printing of report
of the doings of each officer upon
the termination of every fiscal year,
and the placing of the same, in sufi-
cient numbers, where it can be made
available to the next-meeting Legis-
lature. This plan will afford an
ample time for the examination and
discussion of the said reports; and
while it will facilitate legislation
and greatly alleviate the embarrass-
ments consequent upon the too
brief interval between the close of
the fiscal year and the converting of
the Legislature, it will be matter
of but little if any additional expense
to the State.

THE TAXPAYERS AND THE GAM
BLING ACT.

Just briefly, we would remind the
owners of rentable houses upon the
principal streets of Carson and other
cities of the State, that it is for their
interest that gambling should be
held amenable to a license law, and
not be driven out of the list of rev.
enue-producing employments. The
revenue derived from the licensing
of games in Ormsby county is scarce
ly less than twenty-five hundred dol
lars per annum-the county's share,
we mean. Attempt to restrict
gaming" and what would be the re-
suit? Either secret defiance of
the law, or such infringements OF
the same as would involve us in en-
barrassing and expensive litigation;
and still gambling would be quite
as far from being suppressed as
ever. Do not these considerations
present themselves as forcible argu-
ments in behalf of the present law
to the minds of our taxpayers ?
And, let us ask, would not much of
the well-rented property of Carson
street be diminished in value if this
license system were abandoned?

tainly needs curing; and we think it
better that the place where the con-
templated institution is to be per-
manently fixed should be determined
without more delay, even though
such determining should ignore
Carson and recognize Reno or some
other grease wood Acropolis of the
arts and sciences. If the University
is a necessity, as the theory of the
law asserts, then certainly its build
ing should not be deferred out of
consideration for the claims of rival
localities; and we, are so much

A DOG TAX.

We have heard some vague and
frivolous talk about merging Church
i'll county into the bounds of Hum
boldt, or lacking it on as a bob to
the tail of Lander county, kite; OF
dividing it up as Joseph's brethren
did his variegated claw hammer
jacket, and parceling its sparse pop
ulation and arid acres amongst Its
surrounding neighbors; and, we
mustconfess, we ourself have hither'
to felt Indifferent about the matter.
But something has occurred which
has made us to feel an interest IN
and hope and admiration for
Churchill. Good cometh from
thence, as from hitherto moderated
Nazareth. Churchill is honored IN
her Senator-for he is a workable
Hill of fame-or a Hill of fame he
will be if his brother Senators do
their duty and stand by him in the
present crisis. He has introduced q
bill into the House of which he IS a
member providing for dog tax; and
the peace loving citizen whose rest
and comfort have been too often
sacrificed to superiority of canine
material, and whose ears have too
frequently been assail,d by the un-
timely and persistent yelping OF
vagrant ours and impertinent pup
pies, will second our prayer to the
Legislature to give earnest heed to
Mr.. Hills measure for the more ef-
fectual squelching of the dogs and
the sons and daughters of the female
branch of the dog family, which have
too long run riot throughout the
towns and cities of our beloved COM
monwealth. Badinage aside, we
hope Mr.. Hills bill may become q
law. If people will indulge in the
vice of dog owning, let them pay for
the luxury.

CONGRESS would seem to admit,
tacitly, at least, that itself is power
less to remedy or even to resent the
misdoings of its members with rela-
ton to the Credit Mobilier. All the
stir and effluvia arising therefrom is
the resultof so much prying inuendo
and hard swearing, all for nought.
Cakes Ames is the bette NOR

they have concluded to hush the
matter up and let it be smothered in
its own rottenness. The Report
made by the Poland Committee is
simply a confession of impotency.
They have touched pitch and been
defiled; and in place of attempting
to remove the cause of their defile-
ment, they essay to wash their hands
of the matter, and hasten to escape
the consequences of their probings
and discoveries. They have found
out too much for conscience sake
and too little to warrant the impos-
ing of adequate penalties. The d.
lemma is an embarrassing one.

pitiful modicum of dirty wool. The
