The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-03-01

A resolution was passed declaring that
the members of the ASS. mbly were
honest aud as pure as C@sar's wife.
That they conld get such vote from
their constituents is extremely dnnbt.
'nl. This resolution was passed bv
bare majority. A large minority could
not have the cheek to place themselves
IN snch ridlculous light before the
pnhlic ms to vote foi such resolution.
To-day the Honse was broken M in a
most summary manner by Wren cbal-
longing M. Do, nell to meet him outside
the Chamber. which challenge WAS i'm.
mediatrlv accepted, and both PARTIES
left the Honse. followed nv wild and
excited crowd. Unfortunately. however.
by the nfficlons intermeddling of
o hers. no blood was shed. do not
think that Wren received any Of the
$4,000. have always looked upon
him ~ an honest man. and still esteem
him in that hight.
CHURCHILL COUNTY.
While these disoraceful scenes were
enacted in the AS. n,bly. the Churchill
Palandizing bill was passed in the
senate in manner that was
more di-gracrfnl than the Wren
connter of the Assembly. Dav-n-
port and Varian were the champions
on the Republican, side TIE Senate ia
hrgely Republican,. These two Sem
| ators announced that the bill was n
political measure. and CHILLED npon the
Republican members to stand in and
cnt off discussion on the part of the
minority, which was done. They
dared not LET the Democrats ventIlate
the inf"my Of the Republican party in
that county An amendment was
offered bv Mr.. G,rrard to allow the
school fund of Churchill to go to the
|
TO LYON comfy. This brought Mr..
| Varian TO his feet atsonce. and after
appealing TO his p,rty to allow no
amendment and denonncing all ut.
tempts to defeat the bill and nreing its
| immediate passage. he moved the pre-
vions question. which was carried,
and the amendment lost. Senator
Grimes then took the floor, and
spoke to the bill in clear and
| torcible manner, after which Mr..
Varian jumped TO his feet. and
after another partisan hrrangne of
about twenty inmates be again moved
the previous question, which WAS car
ried. and the bill passed By party
vote, after having refused to let the
minority discnss it, This proceeding
can be characterized only by it's proper
name Infamous. Yon can find no.
where in parliamentary law where n
member of Legislative body moved the
previous question upon the conclusion
of his own speech.
THE GOVERNOR
Was next sought for in order to place
In his hands the Churchill hill. H..
closed his Office ut The nsunl hour, and
they did not find him till 10 o'clock
P. NJ. He refused to receive the hill
It that honr and out of his office, aud
the Senate in ~ rage. after resorting to
al the parliamentary triekery known
to the majority and emitting off the ol,-
ponents of the bill from debate, found
that their tr cks were vain, aud that no
opportunity will he given them to pass
the bill over thu Governor' veto should
he object, as he certainly onght, Ia
signing it, The Senate then went into
secret session for the purpose il il
rnmorrd If inueaching the Governor.
forgetting IN their anger that articles IF
Impeachment have tn be preferred nv
he House and that secret session for
snch pnrpose lis " violation of the
Constitution.
