LEGISLATIVE.

AS will be seen by reference to our
Carson dispatch, Mr.. Grey has introduced
in the Assembly bill for an amendment
to the act concerning Crimes and Pun
ishments, which amendment proposes to
abolish the death penalty. This is GER
tainly great step, but whether in the
right direction is quite questionable.
Whatever may be the fate of Mr.. Grey s
proposition, there is little danger that
the amendment will make matters any
worse than they now are.
A bill has also been introduced to
extend the State Printers term of Office
from two to four years. This is an en-
inently just measure, and We hopeit may
pass, and that at the general election in
1874 State Printer may be elected fo1
four years, as other State officers are.
We accept it as an evidence of great
good sense on the part of the Legislature
that the resolutions of Mr.. Grey in re-
gard to woman suffrage were postponed

COURT OF CoNc1LIATIoN.-They have
in Mexico Court of Cancellation, which
takes cognizance of all disputes between
individuals which may be brought before
it. This Court is resorted to by all of
the poorer classes where the amount in
dispute is not sufficiently large to justify
an expensive suit at law. The parties to
the suit are examined separately by the
Judge in relation to the matter in contro-
versy. The Judge then renders his de-
cision, and advi;es both contestants to
abide by his decree; but he has no power
to enforce any judgment he may render
unless both parties agree to be bound by
it. If either party is disposed 10 press
his or her claim, then the functions of
the Court of Cancellation cease, and
proceedings may be instituted in some
other and higher Court. In such case
the costs accumulate with a rapidly
which MAKES the clients hair stand on
end.

Thoughdisputed sometimes, we believe
that when trees are cut down, springs
dry up. At scientific discussion in
England, a gentleman from Santa Cruz,
West Indies, said that twenty years ago
that island was rich and ever-blooming
garden. Forests adorned the hills, trees
were clustered freely DER the plains,
and rains were never wanting for abund.
ant production. The island is TWENTY
five miles long and the soil is all fertile,
Now the hills are all bare and the trees
of the plain have been mostly cut down.
Continuous droughts have desiccated
one-third of the Island and year by year
desolation advances. "Soon the whole
island is doomed to become desert, -
Official papers agree in attributing this
scourge to the reckless waste of timber
and the neglect to replant the forests.

UNITED STATES SENATORS---HOW
ELECTED.

The many Intellectual attempts in diff
ferent States to elect United States Sena-
tors, by one of the two Houses of the
Legislature refusing to go into joint con-
vention, doubtless had much to do with
the Act of Congress approved July 26,
1856, "to regulate the times and manner
of holding elections for Senators in Con-
gress." ~. S. Statutes at Large, Chap.
CCXLV.1 This act provides that the
Legislature chosen next preceding the
expiration of U. S. Senator's term
shall, on the second Tuesday after the
meeting and organization, proceed to
elect a United States Senator for the
term next to expire. The present Legis-
lature was chosen in November last, and
as the term OF Senator Nye expires in
March, i will be the duty of the Legis-
lature now in session to elect his sue
cessor. Had the Legislature perfected
an organization on Monday, the 9th,
under the provisions of the act herein
referred to, the members would be re-
CURED to ballot for Senator on Tuesday
next. But, for some unexplained reason,
the two Houses had not perfected their
organization till Wednesday, the Sth.
Tuesday, the 21st, being the second
Tuesday after the organization, is the
day on which the Legislature is required
by law to ballot for United States Sena-
tor. The mode of election is also pro-
vided for: Each House, by viva voce
vote of each member present, shall vote
for Senator, and the name of the per-
son receiving majority in each House
shall be entered on its journal; and if
either House fail to give such majority,
the fact shall be entered on its journal
At ~ o'clock on the day following the
two Houses are required to meet in joint
convention, when the journal of each
House shall be read. If the same per-
son shall be found to have received
majority in each House, he shall be de-
clared elected Senator in Congress.
In the Nevada Legislature, now in
session, the two Houses will ballot
separately for U. S. Senator, on Tues
day, the Dist, and as the Republicans
have majority in each House, their eau
Gus nominee will Of course receive q
majority of votes in the Senate and As
semby respectively; but it will not be
until Wednesday, the ODD, at II M, that
the two Houses will meet in joint con-
vention, when the reading of the respec-
tive journals will show officially that
each House has agreed upon the same
person for U. s. Senator, and then the
result will be formally announced. Ac-
cording to the law herein referred to if
the two Houses fail to agree upon the
same person, then at the joint meeting
on the second Wednesday subsequent to
the organization of the Legislature, the
members in joint convention are requir-
ed to vote viva voce for a U. S. Senator,
and if no person receive a majority at
the first joint session, then at II o'clock
on each succeeding day the two Houses
must meet in joint convention and cast
at least one ballot for U. S. Senator
until choice is made. r..

Under this state of facts we claim that the prize
