rks oamblisg Bill.
Eprroa Nrws: The gambling bill Ia
settled 20 far a. The Senate 10 concerned.
As your readers are aware. the bill
passed on Saturday last. by q vote OF
sixteen to Ave. Mr.. Cassidy changing
his vote and giving notice Of rseonsid-
Grafton. This morning no moved the
reconsideration Of tho bill. whereupon
Mr.. Cohn moved TO indefinitely post
pone Mr. Cassidy's motion. On tho
question being put, the motion to in.
definitely postpone did not prevail,
being carried by q vote Of thirteen 10
ten. ra
I understand that q rsmonstrance
against the passage Of the bill has been
extensively signed by many Of the most
prominent business and mining mon OF
Storey county, which 10 to DO forwarded
aud presented 10 the Assembly when the
bill comes before that branch OF the
Legislature. So far ~ I eau learn. tho
general sentiment Of tho people seems
to DO against q prohibitory gambling
Law, the Impression being that gambling
will he carried on IN spite OF the law;
that il will not be 40 decsntly conducted
as at present, and that its effects will DO
more pcrnicious whom carried on by
stealth. don't propose. however. to
discuss tho ethics OF the matter. as /
expect to get a full dose while listening
TO thu speeches which will DO made on
the bill when it ONE up.
Mad.
Senator Cassidy got mad at Senator
Cohu again this morning. Tho last
named made a motion that tho Commit
tee on Railroads and Internal Improve
msnts be instructed TO report forthwith
on Dow's Assembly bill for the protec-
ton Of domestic animals on railroad
tracks-or, as Senator King terms II,
'iho bill creating a market for poor cat
to-" The gentleman from Eureka and
Lander, who Is o member OF tho afore-
said committee. objected TO the motion
on the ground that he did not intend 70
allow himself-through any committee
OF which he In o member-to be made a
butt for m Senator's buncombe, and
that he did not propose TO be dictated TO
by the gentleman from Elko. After
some little discussion, Mr.. Cassidy
moved the indefinite postpouemsnt Of
the motion. which was carried by q Wig
orous ''aye' against a weak and piping
no." The fun Of the matter IL, that
the bill on which Mr.. Cohn was slamoring
for areport, Was in tho hands OF the Ju-
dietary Committee. who reported on 1t
adversely. this afternoon.
The recommendation OF tho commit
tee will undoubtedly he acted on by the
Senate, for a more ridiculous bill never
was framed. II provides that railroad
companies ia this Statc shall DO liable
for injury done to cattle, whether caused
by either criminal negligence or ma
voidabis accident. Should II pass, any
man who owns cattle which he Is unable
to dispose OF, would only have to drive
thom ON the truck and get them killed.
to enable him to get q good price for
them. I think Mr.. Kings definition OF
the bill Is correct. and ho should 20 TO
tho hoad.
A Phenomsnon.
Senator Thompson. who Is nm agricul-
turist and and n Granger. introduced o
hill to-day. to provide for tho erection
and maintenance Of Partition Fences"
I did not understand the term, and
thought Il might boar some relation to q
paragraph In DR.. Bsrgstein's report on
the Nevada insane. But on inquiry I
find that II is 10 provide for the fencing
Of ranches, az q Reese River chloridor
would say, I" on the shares" That is,
II two men own adjoining ranches. and
| n OF thom wants to fence his land. his
neighbor must "stand in" and fence
one-half Of tho limo dividing tho two
ranches. This matter is not Of any
startling importance, and j would not
have mentioned II, only the word
" Partition" brings to my mind tho
word in the insane report, which pre-
sents to tho world q phenomenon hith-
crto unheard Of. Tho paragraph IL s
follows:
FLAMES Sloan. admitted July 10,
1871; supposed cause Of insanity, par
turition(2); diagnosis. chronic mania,
tendency 10 softening Of the brain;
treatment. none"
Tho printer, being doubtful, inserted
tho interrogation point; and being some
what akcptical myself. I made inquiry
Of DIR. Bergstsin. who informed me that
the name James should DO printed
"Janc." which explanation has re-
moved q great load from my mind. II
such o thing could happen to James
Sloan. II might occur 10 any Of us, and
I should not like any Of 1t in mino.
However, any person reading the par
agraph. and not knowing how tho mis-
take occurred. would not wonder that
james was in tho Insane Asylum.
Extra ssssien.
Colonel Dow's appetite for legislation
is not satisfied with a sixty days meal.
and ho bankers for moro. He intro
duced o concurrent resolution In tho As
sombly. to-day, which,. with many
vhcreases, recited that there was not
sufficient time left between now and tho
day Of adjournment, for proper legisla-
ton ON tho railroad question. and that
the Governor DO requested TO call an ex-
ira session for tho exclusive transaction
Of business pertaining to railroads. The
resolution was made special order for
2:30 o'clock this afternoon. When 1t
was called up. IL elected considerable
discussion. and was amended by MIR.
Hogan. that the members serve during
the extra session not only without pay,
but that they be obliged TO each pay $40
per diem into the School Fund. which
was-fost; and On the question being put
ON tho original motion. IL was lost by n
vote OF 81 ~ 10. EItra session Is an
unpopular subject with the members,
