tor varian's substitute 10 Senator CASH

and gallery are crowded. and a large
number Of ladies' are ON the floor. The
debate was opened by Mr.. Dow OF Elko,
in opposition to the adoption OF the res
olutions. He excused himself from
making a long speech, on the ground OF
III health. but spoke for half an hour
ON the Democratic side Of the question.
after which. Mr.. Wren Of Eureka, pre-.
sented the facts in the case in a calm,
dispassionato manner. and afterwards
sloqueptly denounced the original reso.
lutions AS q peryersion OF facts. and de-
nounced the White Leaguers and unre-
constructed rebels Of Louisiana in an
emphatic and earnest manner. Mr..
Buckner Of Humboldt. followed Mr..

But little business wal transacted in
the Senate to-day. The regular order
OF business was Como through with. but
AZ the file has not yet grown large, there
was an early adjournment. A bill was
introduced providing for the perfor-
nance Of labor, by criminals but, / be-
lieve, 1t does not contemplate the estab-
liahmsnt OF chain gangs. Various mat
tors and bills were referred to appro-
pirate committees. but no bills OF any
great interest or importance were in
PRODUCED or passed.
The House
Has worked hard pretty nearly all
day, sGl has accomplished considerable
legislation. Mr.. Beck. Of washoe, in.
troduced a substitute to the bill to reg
ulate freights and fares, introduced by
him earlier in the session, and which
now reposes peacefully on the table.
The substitute-which may o be
designed as the bill-dsfnes ten differ
snt classes Of freight, and fixes the rates
to be charged on the same II Is a very
prolix document, too much NO to admit

take an ordinary man half a day just to
read IL, without saying how long 1t
| would take him TO understand il. II 1t
don't remedy the owl complained Of. /
will try I o get a bill through the Third
House which will eiiectually settle tho
matter. II is modelled after the Potter.
Wisconsin law; and 1 suppose, II 1t
passes, 1t will give tho legal fraternity
a show 10 gather q few shells.
Another bill affecting railroads passed
the House. It is Mr.. J.. =. Smiths
bill for the protection Of domestic ami
mails on railroad tracks, which requires
railroad companies in this State to fence
their tracks and provide them with
suitable cattle guards, n failure to com.
ply with the law subjeeting them to La
bility for damages for stock killed or in
iured on tho road. I have been in
formed that tho stock ranchers in
Humboldt and Lander counties, through
whose territory n large part Of the Cen.
trail Pacific railroad passes. are opposed
to the fencing OF the road. ~ 1t will In.
terfere with tho passage OF cattle to
water. l don't suppose tho fence will be
built, however. as 1t will be cheaper for
the company to pay for tho cattle killed
or injured. than to construct the fence,
and il cant quit much loser that way,
rs 1t can ship the carcasses to San Fran
cisco and sell them for beef.
A very important bill, to Virginia
City, was introduced by Mr.. Averill. II
is amendatory to the Act, incorporating
the City Of Virginia. and increases the
power OF the Board OF Alderman In
many particulars: Gives them the
power TO license and regulate all trades.
professions and business; license and
regulate gambling and banking games.
and to regulate and suppress the houses
Of ill.fame and disorderly houses.
There was an attempt to elect q
Speaker pro tenn. Of the House. but at
ter taking two ballots, the matter. on
motion Of Mr.. Wren. was malethc spsc-
ial order. for ~ o'ciJci Tomorrow.
Messrs. Bergstein. G.mheart and Van
Hagar were placed in nomination. but I
don't think the first named will be
elected.
The bill to aid in the construction OF
n railroad from Battle Mountain to Aus.
tin. was up on a third reading; but tho
debate on It's final passage continued to
SO late an hour that a vote was not
taken. and the House adjourned while
the bill was under consideration. DIR.
Bergstsin offered IN amendment to the
bill. lie stated that he was opposed to
it, bu, he wanted To amend II so that
Cinnamon should not DO employed in
the construction OF the railroad; but the
little bit Of buneombo did not seem to
meet with that intense appreciation from
his Democratic fellow-menbers that the
Doctor evidently expected, and the
amendment vas lost. Still the Doctor
was not satisfied; he had gained one
v~ictory--the passage OF the quackery
billiard he was thirsting for more
glory; but when his amendment was de-
feated, he fell back on the record, and
called for the ayes aud noes; as he
wanted to SEQ every member OF the
House placed ON the record ON this mo-
