CARSON, March z, 1875.

EDITOR ZINES: i cannot resist
the temptation of inficting on your
offending readers another letter, by
way of a parting shot and I will
promise, at the beginning, that it's
end is not far down.
THE DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.
Friday morning, when the actors
in the disgraceful scene in the AS
sembly the day previous had re-
covered their calm reasoning. a
general regret was expressed by
all. The matter was the chief
topic of discussion on the crowded
streets and thriving saloons. A
general spirit of good feeling
among the participants prevailed,
and they separated Friday evening
united in friendship.
It is much to be regretted, for
the dignity of Legislative body
and the official power of the State,
that the session, which was charac-
terized by quietude and good Or
der, should be attended in its clos
ing with such heated and angry
discussion and general disorder,
which, but for the timely inter
ference of few collected and
calm minds. would have ended in
bloodshed and death. May such
scene never again be enacted in
Nevada, or any other State Capital.
THE DAY AFTER ADJOURNMENT.
Your correspondent took COM
manding position in the cupola of
the Capitol to take cursory vie
of the town and its surroundings.
His eagle eye beheld a scene
worthy the pencil of an artist, and
which none can appreciate save dis
heartened hotel and lodging-house
keepers. There might have been,
and was, seen huge Saratoga
trunks and Newport valises tum-
bling headforemost out of every
other house in town, while the
signing landladies cast heaving
glances from without their win
dows on the disappearing luggage,
mentally exclaiming, "Two years
hence Two years hence p
A few members, with their
wives, left for San Francisco Fri
day evening, and a larger number
went to the regions of the bonanza,
who, in a few days will follow
suit, and about the middle of next
week a quorum of both Houses
of the Nevada Legislature may be
seen on California street-all
busted.
PRISON INVESTIGATION.
Senator Cassidy reported on be-
half of the Senate that under the
present law the responsibility of
the management of the State
Prison devolved upon the Board
of Prison Commissioners that
they found that the financial mat
ters were conducted with honesty
and economy and that the testi-
mony as to the other charges was
so conflicting and voluminous that
they were unable to come to a con-
clusion. The committee asked that
the testimony be printed and sub
mitted to the Board of State Prison
Commissioners.
