NEVADA LEGISLATURE.
Diszracefnl Scene In the Assem-.
blythe Appropriation Bili
Passed = The Arrest Of r. IL.
Cranley.

CARSON CITY, March 4.
At a late hour last night a Committee
of Free Conference reported a substi-
tute to the general appropriation bill,
which cuts out the hundred thousand
appropriation for the Reno State
Prison, and thirty six hundred for the
pay OF The State Librarian. There
was a big fight over the hill, but it was
passed under a suspension of the rules.
The fight was a strict party one, ex-
cept Thompson, of Washoe, who voted
with the Democrats, and Wescoalt,
who voted with the Republicans, Civ
ing them just tie tN O-thirds neces-
sary to suspend the rules. TO day the
bill came up in the House and the mo-
ton I o suspend the rules and place the
bill on Its final passage brought about
a disgracefui scene. Hogan, OF
WashOe, got SO b~oisterous that the
Speaker ordered him under arrest, but
he would not permit the Sergeant-at-
Arms to arrest him. The Chair de.
cided hat the substitute Was not the
same "a the new bill, which was APP
pealed from aud the Chair MAS sus-
tanned by the Republican majority. A
scene of the widest confusion en-
sued, the Democrats endeavoring to
drown the voice Of the Speaker and
Clerk. Members mounted their chairs;
others rushed in front uf the Speak
er's stand, screaming and gasticulat-
ing. Amid this pandemonium the

AN educational controversy is just
now exciting New York considerably.
1t originated in the Board of Educa-
ton, between the American and Ger
man elements. The latter is deter
mined to Introduce the study of the
German language into the public
schools, and the movement is opposed
BY the former on the ground of the
great expense 1t would involve. The
trouble has led to a review of the pur-
poses OF eur educational system, which
may not. be altogether profitless. That
onr schools have lowered into estab-
lishments strikingly dissimilar to those
originally designed is unquestionably
indisputable. They are now slmos,
collegiate institutions. The simple
studies originally taught no longer con.
stitute the main purpose Of the COM
mon schools. Whether the branches
that have been engrafted serve 10 rem
der these public institutions Of learn
ing o or less valuable to the coun-
fry is an open question, and in New
York the chauces for a speedy decision
do not appear to be very good.

Steamship Line is left out in the cold

ming with April lst, mail service to
Yokohama will be monthly instead OF

A DIsGRACEUL SCENE.-Tbe scene in
the Assembly chamber Thursday
evening, as reported in our Carson dis
patch, was q most d~isgraceful affair, a
recurrence Of which we hope will never
transpire in the legislative halls Of our
State. When our Lawmakers, assem-
bled as a deliberate body, resolve them
selves into q convention OF hoodlums,
and violate every principle of the laws
which they themselves enacted, it is a
most pernicious example to the people,
for whose guidance they were enacted
and who are expected to abide by their
provisions. 1t brings our statutes into
contempt and creates abroad an erron-
ecns Impression relative to the charac-
ter OF the people who elected such men
to represent them in their legislative
halls. 1t is safe to predict that the
participants in the ~disgraceful proceed
iags will never again he afforded an
opportunity OF displaying their hood.

rmE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

That the President has a policy to
enforce against the will of the people,
despite his pr~otestations to the con-
trary, Is daily becoming more appa-
rent. In relation to his position upon
the Louisiana question, the Boston
Herald says: !" 1t Is not Endorsed ether
at the North or at the South. The peo-
pie are earnest in The desire to have
that running sore of trouble healed,
and they look to Congress and the
President for the application of proper
and effective remedies before they are
too late. Hitherto they have vainly
waited for anything more than windy
suspiration Of forced breath from
Executive or Congressman, and that
they are to wait is evident from the
fpllowing confession of a prominent
Republican: $ have reluctantly come
to the conclusion tina Gen. Grant is
not in earnest when he says he desires
that Congress shall settle the Louisi-
ana question and relieve him of the re-
sponsibility, or rather, when he says
that in lis messages and in his con-
~versation he don't mean what yen and
/ have understood by tho language
used. He does want Congress to pass
a joint resolution fully recognizing the
Kellogg government and sustaining
every act OF the Administration.in re-
lation to that State since 1872; but II
Congress won't do that, he prefers to
be left untrammelled by any legisla-
ton. He feels tie same about any
compromise. If the Conservatives
would yield everything; allow Mr..
Pinchback to take his seat; recognize
Kellogg as the lawful Governor Of the
State, and the Legislature created by
the Returning Board and Federal
soldiers as legal; If they would allow
him and his friends to have their own
way in everything, he would like to
have a settlement made. But if his
friends have to yield anything OF ac-
count of such a settlement, which he
a protect them in the possession of,
he would prefer that no settlement
should be reached"

ARREST OF +. r. CRANLEY.-Our
Carson dispatch informs us of the ar
rest of r. r. Cranley, late Assessor OF
White Pine County, who is now in jail
at Virginia City. 1t was currently re-
ported some weeks ago that Mr.. Gran
ley was defaulter in his office to the
amount of two thousand dollars, Jbut
it was afterward stated that he had
written to the Commissioners o
White Pine that he would, within a
week or two, effect a satisfactory settle
ment. 1t appears, however, that he
has failed to do so; hence his arrest.
We have known Mr.. Cranley foralong
time and we have always regarded him
as one of the most honorable Of men.
and we sincerely hope that he will be
enabled to clear himself Of all damag-
ing charges and prove an unsnllied
record in the Office which he recently
held in our neighboring county.
