net do much better than the Senate,
t~ransacting but little business and ad-
journing at an early hour. The most
important easu was the passage Of
the bill providing for the transportation
OF con,icts and insane persons. II pro-
yides that the expense Of transportation
OF convicts and insane persons TO the
State Prison or Insane Asylum shall be
borne by the State instead Of by tho
counties from which thoy are sent. This
Ii a simple matter Of justice; as at pres
ent the expenses borne by tho various
counties for these purposes are entirely
out Of proportion. For instance, the
expense OF transporting a convict from
Ormsby county to the State Prison is n
mere trife. while Lincoln, White Pine,
Nye or Lander. must pay n small for

capital must be on the western edge OF
the State. 1t is only fair that that por-
ton Of the State should bear n proper.

counties by its being thus situated.

very lively skirmish in the Senate, but
expect to see a wrestling Of the giants in
the Assembly. I suppose there will be
favorable. unfavorable and independent
from the committee. which Is
composed Of Republicans, Democrats
and Independents, and that Mr.. Dow
will favor the adoption Of the rcsolu-
aud that Mr. Wren will oppose,
the former being recognized M the lead

Of the Republicans. I nm no
prophet, but my private opinion is that
Air. Wren will get away with the gentle.
