The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-03-08

Disgraceful scenes were enacted In
the Assembly Chamber of the Nevada
Legislature on the last day of the
session. The rules of the House, in
fact the usages of all deliberative or
parliamentary bodies were set at
naught by the Speaker. who refused to
recognize any member not known to
be in favor of bill which the majority
had determined upon forcing through
the House, regardless of rules, prece-
dent and decency. This course was in
accordance with programme adopted
by a free conference committee, con-
sisting exclusively of Republicans. ap-
pointed by the presiding officers OF
both Houses. Its object was to dis
play the craftsmanship of the majority
by excluding the salaries of the Gov
ernor's Private Secretary and the State
Librarian, together with the appropria-
ton for continuing the building of the
new State Prison at Reno, from the
General Appropriation bill, which had
been agreed TO previously in Committee
of the Whole in both Houses. To get
this substitute appropriation bill
through, the rules of the House and
the rights of members were trarnpled
upon, and in the excitement which en-
sued upon the Speakers refusal to re-
cognize members, the Clerk was in
structed to call the roll before the gag
motion cutting off debate had been put
by the Speaker, which had the effect
of creating the most tumultuous up
roar, in which it was impossible to dis
tinguish the word or voice Of mem
Der. When the din partially subsidized
all the Republicans were marked upon
the roll as having voted in favor of the
bill, and two of the opposition against
it. One of the latter--Beck of Washoe
declared that he had not voted ct all,
which showed a little irregularity on
the part of the Clerk, but the bill was
declared passed by the Speaker, and
with the majority to back the assertion,
it was so recorded, and now the Re-
publican press of the State is assidu-
ously engaged in the attempt to shift
the responsibility of the matter on the
Democratic and Independent minority.
There are, however, Republicans who
were on the floor of the Assembly
whose sense of justice revolted at the
partisanism of the Speaker, and who
say they cannot longer uphold Nevada
Republicanism, and have taken leave
of the party. Undoubtedly there are
members of the minority whose con.
duct is not wholly justifiable, though
the provocation was great; butt was not
in accordance with human nature to
submit quietly and without show of
resistance to the discourtesies of the
Speaker and his gag-law hackers in
the Assembly.

mony fine collation. was served, in
which Chinese delicacies were mingled
with more substantial dishes of Ameri-

A PERIsHING RACE.

The colored race in the Southern
States exhibits unmistakable symptoms
of decay. The original curse pro-
nounced upon the descendants of Ham
seems to cling to them in one form or
another in spite of emancipation proc
CARNATIONS and the immense expen-
diture of treasure for the SUPPRESSION of
the traffic in slaves. Men may dis
course on human equality as they
please, and enthrone their favorite doc
trine in the constitution of the nation,
but Nature lifts up her infallible voice
against the dogma. While all men are
entitled to the same political and re-
ligious rights, yet viewed from a social
and intellectual standpoint men are I'M
equal. The lines of demarcation be-
tween them are broad and distinct, and
all efforts to obliterate them must of
necessity prove futile. The evils which
of late years have afflicted the Southern
States have arisen from attempts, by
means of unwise legislation, to place
the colored people on a par intellect
ually with the white races. Looking,
back upon the history of the past few
years, it seems almost unaccountable
that our statesmen could not foresee
the disastrous consequences that must
flow from the pressure of the equality
doctrine beyond the limit which Nature
has assigned. We are not advocating
the enthrallment of any class of men.
Freedom is the birthright of all. But
men have been made to differ-indi-
vidually and collectively, as races and
species they differ-and when nations
ignore those differences evils must en-
sue. These evils have already mani
tested themselves in the violence and
unlawful organizations existing in those
States where the colored race approx
mates to the white in numerical
strength. But beyond this, Nature her
self has protested against this invasion
of her laws. While the blacks were
subordinate to the whites they to some
extent prospered, but Immediately they
were unduly exalted they became de-
caying people. From statistics COM
piled in Charleston. South Carolina, it
appears that in that city, where the
negro and white populations are about
equal, the death-rate among the col
ored citizens exceeds that of the whites
in the proportion of three to one,
while the birth rate shows q CORE
spending disparity. In the rural dis
tricts of South Carolina the dispropor-
tion is still more alarming, in some
places the white births being as eight
to one. If statistics of other Southern
States were compiled we believe they
wonld bear out the fact of the decad-
ence of the colored race in America.
1t is probable that their admission to
all the rights of citizenship has de-
veloped the latent Incidence of their
nature, and given free scope to their
passions. Whatever be the cause, it is
evident that the stamp of dissolution
rests upon the race, and time will in
the course of years solve the problem
of predominance now agitating the
States of the South.

THE Emma Mine embroglio, which so
seriously compromised Gen. Schenck,
eur Minister at London, has recently
been subjected to a scrutinizing investi-
gallon. The result of this scrutiny into
its affairs goes to show that improper
Inducements were held out to prominent
bankers, brokers, members of Parlia-
ment, and other distinguished men, to
give the influence Of their names for eff
fecting sales OF shares in the mine. And
1t 10 said that this investigation impli.
gates Gen. Schenck.
The shares sold to the amount ol
$4,000 and the investigation claims
to have shown that there was no mine
no implements, no proceeds nor property
OF any kind worth more than 10000, al
told. And yet the shares were sold on
the assurance Of 100000 OF annual
proceeds from working the mine.
We can not believe that Gen. Schemes
was willing mover in this fraud. A
hupe of the same yillainy he may have
been, and himself victim. But if tht
facts are at all as set forth in the repor
Of the investigation, it were quite tim'
that Gen. Scheack should be "relieved'
from the burthen OF further service al
u. s. Minister at the Court Of st. James
or any other Saint.

The Horticulturist gives an account OF
two novelties among towers, which it is
almost tempted to treat as fables until
verify is established by pers onal inspec-
tion. The following 10 the description OF
them: some is black lily in Santa
Clara, CAL, with three large blossoms,
eacn nine inches long, and perfectly
black outside the green petals. The
other is TO be seen at Constantlnople,
and described by an eyewitness as be-
longing to the narcissus genus Of bulb.
The flower represents a perfect hum
ming-bird. The breast, OF perfect en-
erald green, is complete copy of this
bird, and the throat, head, beaK and eyes
are u perfect imitation. The hinder part
OF the body and the two outstretched
wings are of a bright rose colol, enc
mignt almost say flesh colored. These
wOndrous bulbs should have. been sent
to the Vienna Exhibition. They will be
in abundance by the time of our Centen-
nial celeb ration in 1876. And yet they
can hardly be greater curiosilies than
the strange and mysterious "Sancta
Spiritu" hover from South America,
with its life-like representation Of doves.

The Kentucky Southern Shield Gays:
While out hunting on last Tuesday Mr.
Richard Ives discovered large cave IN
the side OF hill under a rock, and.
while opposite, heard the squealing OF
pigs inside. He stepped close to The
mouth OF the cave TO investigate the
matter, and, to his horror, saw protrud-
ing the head of an immense rattlesnake
with pig in its mouth. The pig was
about four months old, and weighed
about seventy-fve pounds. He sum-
moned q number of his neighbors, with
guns and pitchforks, who built large
ire in the mouth OF the cave. in order
to drive the snakes out. In about
an hour they commenced pouring out
over the burning Goals. AS they ap-

Walnut Timber Growing Scarce.

OS all timber trees, the black walnut
is said to be, just now, The most profit
able. Ohio and Indiana have or late
years been the great sources OF supply.
From these States large quantities have
been sentt to the furniture factories East.
AT present Kentucky is shipping walnut
timber largely. While, however, the old
er States are being depleted OF this valu-
able wood, the States that may be called
timber-planting ones are rapidly coming
up with a supply. 1t is found to grow
with great rapidity in some Of them, es-
pecially in Nebraska. In this State
several acres set out within the last ten
years are producing nuts in abundance,
aud those, it is said, have already paid
the expense Of planting and care. Many
people, In view Of the growing scarcity
OF walnut, fear its disappearance from
market in short time.
