TINE discloses many sbsnrdities in
our constitution and laws; and In all the
list none is greater than that of paying
the members Of the Legislature eight
dollars each for Sundays and then ruling
that blessed day out of the catalogue Of
days which are to be reckoned as of ac-
count in summing up the time during
which bill may be regarded as under
the official scrutiny of the Executive.
For ins.ance:-The bill absorbing Chur-
chill was passed on Friday. The same
was the ffty-fou,th day of the Legisla-
tive session. That sweet elusive instru-
ment, our constitution, 'the palladium
Of our liberties, SO to speak. provides
that the day on which any bill may be
presented to the Governor shall be con-
sidered as exclusive of the five days that
be is entitled to hold such bill before
signing or vetoins the same. The Legis-
lature will adjourn, by statutory limita-
ton on next Thursday. In order that
the Churchill bill might not be left to
the tender mercies of executive pocket
ing, it was necessary to present it to
him On Friday. Why? Certainly from
Saturday to Thursday. both days inclu-
sive, there are six full days. All. but
there is Sunday regular eight dollar
day. just like all the rest. going for
nought. In Legislative and executive
parlance, then, the weekly calendar
should run thuswisc. to wit: Saturday,
Noday, Monday. etc. 1t seemeth to the
Grade. uncultnred mind that if day is
worth paying for it is worth using; and
it shouldn't be paid for.

SAD NEWS FROM EX-SENATOR
NHE.

In sad confirmation of the statement
which reached us some weeks since OF
an attack of a serious cerebral! disorder
upon Senator Nye we have the follow
ing telegram:
Washington, February 26.-On the
arrival of the train from Richmond at
Alexandria this morning it was dis
covered that eX Senator James w.
Nve, who, when last seen, occupied a
section of the sleeping car, was miss
ing. His boots were still in his berth.
He was on his way north from Jack
sOnviile. Florida. with his daughter,
Mrs. WISE. and his servant. He re-
tired the previous evening in his usual
health. Ii is supposed he got up in
the night in daZed condition and
walked or fell off the car while in mo-
ton. As he had not been heard from
at stations where the train stopped,
fears are entertained regarding his
fate. His mental faculties were wan
ing, and on this account he was in
dnced to join his daughter in Florida,
whittier she had gone for the benefit
of her health.
sSpfIlS IoffIl ''"ce va
left to his friends as expressed in the
subjoined:
Washington, February 26.-Several
friends of Senator Nye at the Capitol
saw there must be mistake in the re-
port of his death. and that the person
to whom the accident occurred is an
other person of the same name. be-
cause his daughters name is not Nyse.
but Walter. and when these friends
last heard from him he was in New
York, unable To travel. Moreover.
they have NJ information of his hav-
ing passed through Washington on his
way south.
Whatever of hope these expressions
of doubt awakened. wonld seem to
have been quite dispelled by this last
dispatch:
Washington. February "A dis
patch from Richmond saws ex-senator
Nye was found there all safe, but
nearly nude. 1t seems he stepped ont
of the car Just as the train started and
concealed himself in the depot.
1t is only too evident from this
showing that the good "Gray Eagle"
has gone mad-a terrible termination
to his brilliant and genial life. With
the darkening of this bright luminary
in the political zenith, many heart
will be shrouded in the shadow of
grief; and in the dimness of silent
places strong men will
mingle their tears with tears from
gentler eyes; and none who knew him
can withhold the sigh of sympathy
over his lamentable calamity.

If THERE were no stronger reasons
why Churchill county should be oblite-
rated than the constant and prolific field
itself always is for the promotion Of po-
litical trickeries and petty, technical eva
sions of law, these in themselves were
:" damned to eternal redemption So
shameless a temptation TO fraud should
be abated at once and forever.

EDIToR TINES the Commerciai of
February 9th, 1879, there appeared an ar
ticle casting reflections upon the committee
sent by us to Topeka for the purpose OF soli-
citing aid from the Kansas Aid Society, and
Judging by your course heretofore pursued,
We believe that you will give us space in
your valuable paper in order that We may
refute those charges. The following is a
copy of the resolutions adopted at our meet
ing, last evening, which will give YOU an
idea Of how we feel: =--.. RI
WHEREAS, A filthy sheet, published in
Leavenworth, known as the Commercial, has
most unjustly cast reflections upon a om-
mittee duly appointed by this township to
solicit aid from the Kansas Aid Society, at
Topeka, by calling them a self-constituted
'alms-seeking commission" and
WHEREAS, Those gentlemen having had
full credentials from this organization, duly
empowered TO act in behalf OF, and to repre-
sent us in this our hour of need therefore,
be it
Resided, That it is the sense Of this
meeting, and the voice of the citizens of
this township, that the above named SIAN
derous sheet should meet with the rebuke il
Justly deserves at the hands of all honest
men.
Resolred. That whilst condemning the
libelous attack upon our committee, we re-
new to them our heartfelt thanks for their
earnest and energetic efforts to carry our ex-
pressed wishes in securing the aid which
they spent their own time and money to OBJ
tain. W. III. B,ESAgD,
Chairman OF Committee.
The above preamble and resolutions were
adopted unanimously by the meeting, and
the Secretary ordered to publish the same
in the Deavonworth Daily rNLS, and by So
doing you will confer great favor upon an
unjuS,ly misGcp-rscn:cd community.
