where is tho Watchdog OF the
state Treasury?

sIn the Legislatures of previous
wears. there was always present
among its members one who was
STYLED 1.-The Watchdog OF the
Treasury" This session we have
failed to learn of his presence, and
in consequence of his absence, a
large number of old claims many
of which have been repeatedly re-
iected ever since Nevada became a
State) have been revived, present
ed, and in some instances acted
upon favorably. Now this is all
wrong, unjust, and not honest to
the tax-paying citizens of the State.
Heavy taxation is a curse to the
State, preventing the Inauguration
of many enterprises which other
wise would have an immediate ex-
istence. were it not for the fear of
these burdens. If the Treasury IS
plethoric, it is no reason that 1t
should be depleted by such attacks
as have been commenced upon it.
We ask of the Legislature that
these claims should not be allowed,
particularly those that have in
former years been rejected FOR
CAUSE. SO give US no more hasty
legislation.

Just CLAIM-The Board of State
CAPITOL Commissioners have claim
before the present Legislature for
an appropriation to reimburse them
for expenses incurred in coming to
and from Carson City on business
connected with the building of the
Capitol. Speaking within the
bounds of reason, not one of the
Board spent less sum in actual
expenses, not to speak of the loss
of time, than $4,000 The Board
consisted of John H. Mills, DR.. J.
C. Hazlett, T. Stadtmuller, J. r.
Johnson, w. H. Corbett and Jacob
Klein. We contend, says the Car
son Tribune, and We second that
it is but an act of simple justice to
reimburse these gentlemen for
their actual outlay, at least, and to
pay them a reasonable per diem.
The State can afford to pay the
amount, and it ought not to be
withheld. 1t is to be hoped that
Legislators will divest themselves
of all prejudice particularly as
regards the action of the State
Board of Examiners in relation to
the matter-and act as between
man and man, without reference to
the financial or political status of
either of the gentlemen in ques-
ton.

LIBRARIES.

A bill has been introduced in the
Assembly providing for the estab-
lishment of free public libraries in
each township, if the majority oil
mechanics vote in favor Of it. Also
encouraging the formation OF libra
ries in public schools. When $40
has been subscribed in any school
district for that purpose, the State
will subscribe an equal amount.
NOTICEABLE PARTIALLY.
The Senate this evening rendered
the use of the Chamber to Miss
Sallie Hart to lecture in, some even
ing next week. Day before yester-
day some Senators who favored ex-
tending this courtesy to Miss Hart,
refused the same to Mrs. Kerns for
a spiritualistic seance, saying they
opposed allowing the use of the
hall to anybody, for any use what
ever. Certainly, the ways of some
Senators are like the wrath OF the
Deity.
OUTSIDE NOTES.
There has been so many lectures,
spiritualistic seances, socials and
other general disorders, that the
third House has deemed it expedient
not to convene in session extraor-
binary, as they wish to give all
hands chance to attend on this
rare occasion.
Both Houses having adjourned,
the town is as dull as camp meeting
after the departure OF the mourners.
All the members who could borrow
$40 went up to Virginia.
Next week the town will go short
on amusements, and so will l on

lately passed by the Legislature, and
a bill for it's repeal has been intro
duced by Mr.. Nichols in the House.
The bill is now before the proper

these columns few days since, has
been at his old tricks again. On
Wednesday last he disturbed num-
Der of little girls while at play near
Waddel's corral. On this occasion,

most foul language. Some of the par
ents of children attending the Public

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
CARSON, February IL.

CARSON, February ~.
Considerable business was trans.
acted yesterday; both Houses work
ed with a vim, in order to gel
through with their general files,
and give themselves and the people
little rest and relief.
STATE PRISON MATTERS.
On motion of r. +. Smith, OF
Storey, the Assembly has adopted a
Joint resolution, appointing three
from that body and four from the
Senate, to inquire into the manage
ment of affairs at the State Prison.
CAPITOL GROUNDS.
The bill introduced by Senator
Hobart, of Storey, appropriating
S25 900 for the improvement of the
State Capitol grounds, has been
made the special order in the AS
sembly for Tuesday.
WORKING STATE CoNvIcTs.
Senator Lockwood's bill author
izing the managers of the State
Prison to hire out the labor of con-
victs, finally passed, and now goes
to the Governor.
VIRGINIA CITY MATTERS.
Wren's Assembly bill, amending
the charter of Virginia so as to en-
power the Board of Aldermen to
levy city license on gambling
houses, and confine houses OF pros
titution to prescribed limits, was, on
motion of Senator Piper, laid tenn
porarily on the table, to await full
Senate.
CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
Senator Stevenson has introduced
a bill appropriating 100000 for the
purchase of mineral specimens to
the Centennial Exposition. 1t also
provides for the working of a quartz
mill on the grounds.
THE CARSON MINT.
Senator Stevenson, of Storey, has
also introduced a concurrent resolu-
ton memorializing Congress to ap-
propriate 100000 for the enlarge
ment of the Mint at this place. In
view of the rapid and astonishing
development of our mines, the en-
largement OF this mint is an actual
necessity. Its present capacity is
far inadequate to even the present
coinage necessity of this State-to
say nothing of the constantly in
creasing supply of precious metals.
Friday, in response to resolution
of the Senate, Supt. Crawford trans
mitted statement of the operations
of the Mint for the years lS72-3-4.

The coinage during the year 1874
was fully three times greater than
during any previous year. To ex-
ecute the coinage demanded, an en-
largement of the Mint is required
The monthly deposits amount to
S400,00o in gold and 100000 in
silver. The Superintendent esti-
mates that the bullion product in
1876 will reach the enormous sum
of 100000. TO provide for the
constantly increasing demand FOR
coinage, an enlargement of the Mint
is deemed absolutely necessary, and
it was in view of memorialiZing
Congress on this subject that state
ment from the Superintendent was
solicited.
