Ed. Nsv,; Davsnpot's bin % pro-
hibit gaming was rejected in the House
today By a vote Of 30 10 H. During
the debate, which was quite lengthy.
Mr.. Mcdonnell Of Storey created some
thing Of q breeze by the following Inn
guasc:
81 have heard II currently reported
that tho sum Of ton thousand dollars
was used for the purpose OF defeating
the gambling bill; that the sum OF $1,000
was paid TO the Chairman Of the Judi
cial ~ Committee. $500 each to the
twelve members from Storey. and that
the balance was used among the Eastern
members OF tho House. for tho purpose
OF indefinitely postponing Hubbard's
Gambling BILL"
Mr.. Wren. who In Chairman Of the
Judiciary Committee, asked that tho
above language be taken down by the
Clerk. and he proposes to request MI.
Mcdonnell to produce his authority Boz
FORE tho bar Of the House. A will DO
seen, Mr.. Mcdonnell stated that these
| charges were rumors, and o. he included
himself rs being ono Of those charged
with being bribed. Mr.. Wren does not
entertain any feeling against him; but
will be apt to bother tho person or per-
Sons who circulated such n report, by
| bringing he or them before the liar OF
the House. The debate lasted until five
o'clock p. NJ. when II was shut of by
tho previous question being moved when
the roll was called, and the motion IN

The ssnate
Was engaged during nearly the entire
afternoon session in tho consideration oil
the bill supplementary TO, and amend
atory Of "An Act to provide revenue fol-
tho support Of the Government Of the
State Of Nevada" approved March 0.
1866, and tho Acts amendatory thereof,
and TO define tho manner OF assessing
railroads proper in this State. Thisbill,
after a great deal OF discussion, and hay
ing been "numerously" amended was
passed. Its main provision IL that, IN
ascertaining. assessing and fixing the
value OF any railroad for taxation, the
Assessor shall assess 1t tho same rs
other property. and shall consider. treat
and assess tho portion thereof ut its
value within his county us an integral
part Of n complete. continuous and OPP
Grated line Of railroad; and not as 70
much land covered by the right OF way
merely, nor ~ so many miles Of track
consisting Of iron rails, ties and coup
Iings, and is n radical change from the
present mode OF assessing railroads.

tho present incumbcnts hare held their
seats no much Of the session. II may be
NJ well to lot them play tho string out.
