THELEGISLATIVE IMDROGLIO
OUTRAGE INVESTIGATIONS.
STILL ANOTHER MUDDLE.
THE CONTEMPT MATTER.

NEW ORLEANS, AN ..
After the Democratic Senate organ
lied yesterday, a commute. duly ap-
pointed, notified Governor Kellogg
that that body was ready for official
communications aud rehearsing the
matter of the protests as the reason for
organizing in St. Patrick's Hall.
Stevens, one of the hold over Sen
ators, was captured by the Sergeant at
Arms of the Republican Senate and
taken to make a quorum. The Re
publ:ua2s are jubilant because the Sem
atOrs, some of whom it is said hold
commissions from McEnery, have ig-
nored him and recognized Kellogg.
The situation is unchanged to-day.
Everything is quiet.
The Senate Investigating Committee
resumed the investigation of Onachjta
parish this morning. Ii. +. Jonas and
Il. III. War; testified to the efforts of
themselves and other Democratic lead
ers to have a peaceful and fair election,
and that the general policy of their
party was directed to that end, in order
to prevent the Returning Board from
Selling upon a pretext for throwing
out votes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.
The Democrats here are much dis
turbed by the fact that the Demo-
cratic Senate OF Louisiana, in organic
on Monday, recognized Governor Kel-
logg by sending a committee to him.
This recognition necessarily is a DOW
erful argument to invalidate the Dem.
ocratic electoral vote of Louisiana
certified by McEnery, said certificate
depending for its validity solely on the
proposition that McEuery and not Kel-
logg is the rightful Governor.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.
The Oregon witnesses, testifying be-
fore the Senate Committee, each re-
ceived $3.50 for mileage, except Odell
and Cronin, who, being subpnned in
Washington, are paid only per diem
witness fees. These disbursements
have already nearly exhausted the
committees share of the Senate Con-
tingent Fund.
The subject of outrages upon Amer
lean citizens on the Mexican borders
of the Rio Grande by the revolution
lists, is occupying the attention of our
Government, and orders will soon be
issued to u navy and naval forces
there to protect them, as there is now
no Government in Mexico to which
appeal can be made. AS regards the
Indian marauders who cross into Tex
as, the question is likely to be brought
to the attention of Congress whether
outrages on American citizens shall
be permitted to continue, or whether
this Government shall take into its
own hands measures of redress.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.
The Tribane's Washington special
says: "Just now the fayorite solution
OF the presidential complication is to
hold a new election next fall and to
allow the President of the Senate, who
ever he may be, after the 4th OF March
to administer the office al iate1Tm.
This is TO be bought about, according

In explanation of the telegram from
San Diego last night, to the effect that
Prltchard, the Mexican Consul here,
had telegraphed to San Diego that 600
fillibusters had left this city for Low
er California, Pritchard says: The
story grew out of the fact that there
were some suspicious circumstances
connected with the sailing of two
small schooners, the Cygnet and the
Fanny, last week, and that he lad
asked his friends at San Diego to look
out for Them If they put in there, so he
could learn II there were any truth in
the reports he had heard concerning
them. Lie said the Information had
been brought him that inducements
had been held out to certain parties to
JOIN some such movement, but MOTH
ing definite is known at present as to
whether or not the affair will take
form. He seemed inclined to place
little stress on the matter.
An inquest was held yesterday by

CUBA.

An item in our Geographic columns
to-day conveys to us information con
corning affairs in Cuba, which, al
though not of much Importance as a
matter of detail, is, as an indicator of
the status in the " ever faithful ISLE"
worthy of consideration. Several
months have nov passed since the re-
firing of Don Carlos from Spanish soil
has given to Alphonso undisputed
sway over the revenues and armies of
the Spanish people. In his address
upon taking the throne, and in his adj
dress to the Cortes after the defeat of
his chivalric cousin, the young mon
arch strongly insistedupon the necessi-
ty of maintaining the Spanish suprem-
acy in Cuba. Since that date, a new
Captain General has been appointed,
new measures of reform have been in
stituted, new inducements have been
held out to the " disaffected," millions
of money and thousands of men have
been contributed, all to complete the
stamping out of what old Spain regards
q causeless rebellion. We have time
and again been stunned by the din of
Spanish preparation and the loud pro-
tests of Spanish assurances Of victory;
but it has all resulted in naught. 1t is
zoe ct pretered nihu. The so-called
rebels still remain in the field, still re-
tain their old provinces and still little
by little advance their lines; and not
only this, but they have commenced to

OUR NORTHEASTERN BOUND.
AIRY.

We were pleased 10 learn from our
Carson dispatches published yester-
day-dispatches received too late for
editorial comments in the same issue
that Senator Cassidy has introduced in
the State Senate a bill transferring to
Eureka County the territory common
ly known as the "Mineral Hill %slice,"
the provisions of this bill, we pre-
sumo. to be identical in substance with
those of the bill passed by both
Houses at the last session over the
veto Of the Governor, and which failed
In its operation under the construction
of the Supreme Court by reason of a
technical omission of the Enrolling
Clerk.
The facts connected with this much
vexed matter are substantially as
follows: The Legislature of 1873,
after creating the county of Eureka,
passed by a vote of over two thirds of
either House, can act to define and
establish the boundary lines of Eureka
county," The provisions of this bill
conferred upon Eureka county that
portion of the territory of Elko in
which Mineral Hill and the line of the
now existing Eureka and Palisade
railroad are situated. The bill was
vetoed by the Governor, and the veto
was received by the Secretary of State
too late for legislative action. Under
the provisions of the Constitution, this
bill, thus vetoed. was submitted to the
Legislature of 1875, and was by both
branches OF that body passed ever the
Governors veto by over a two thirds
vote. The vote in the Senate on the
final passage, notwithstanding the
objections of the Governor" stood:
Yeas, Il; nays, 6. In the House it
stood: Yeas So; nays Is. As we have
said, the bill was held imperative by
reason of a clerical error in emitting it.
This measure we believe to be emil
nently proper, and we trust that our
Carson solons will promptly pass the
bill and that Governor Brady will re-
consider his former veto. The princi-
Pile which the bill seeks TO establish
has already been Endorsed by two
Legislatures of our State, and in each
case by a two-third majority. The
county Of Elko has already received,
without compensation, and practically
from Eureka) that portion of the coun-
ty lying between the 41st and AID
parallels. The proposed bill assigns
to Eureka the neighborhood of Min
eral Hill, a district all of whose inter-
ests are identified with Eureka and
with the Eureka and Palisade railroad,
and also the territory wherein lies tho
northern portion of the railroad itself.
1t does not take from Elko any por-
ton of the Central Pacific or any
property of much taxable value, other
than the value created by the Eureka
and Palisade railroad. This latter is a
Eureka enterprise, depending for its
existence upon Eureka products, and
created since the passage of the bill
OF 1878. The territory proposed to be
transferred belongs, of right, to Eu-
rain
