Yesterday being a holiday there was
but little activity around the Capitol.
Most Of the Storey county represent
atives spent the day at home with their
families and friends. while the members
from the East lounged about and dis
cussed the various legislative matters in
detail. A few unfortunate ones were OBJ
liged to serve on committees, and while
their COLLEAGUES were enjoying the sun
shine and air without; while they were
smoking their cigars and taking their
ease in the hotels and saloons. these
committeeman were shut ia their rooms;
and forenoon, afternoon and evening the
same old words resounded in their ears,
an Act to amend an Act entitled an
Act concerning Migrants, lurles or some
body else." It was Sunday in the mid
die of the week, and while all enjoyed
the rest and ease of the day, yet the abb
sepce of excitement and hustle at the
CAPITOL and on the principal streets OF
the town was noticeable indeed, and even
the Legislators will not regret when the
order of business is this morning re-
sumed and the Senate and Assem- bly, 60
once more into session.

ceived the money out of the Treasury
before he was made to stand and divide
by the person who had given him the
work.
The Austin Reveille of the 18th inst,
contains scurrilous and uncalled for
attack upon the people of Carson. The
cause of this show of spleen is that in
recent mention Of the reception OF the
Bienvenu Club, We said that it was
select and aristocratic. The editor OF
the Reveille used to reside in Carson and
no one ever accused HIN of being an
aristOcrat.
WHEN Nevada was reached in the cleo
toral count objections were made to

The Democrats seem to be in the pre-
dicamept Of drowning man grabbing
at straws. Their beautiful temple of re-
form is crumbling. Its sandy founda-
ton is fast disappearing. but straws will
not save it from destruction.
Now is the time for fond mothers to
stand aghast and not dare to say their
souls are their own. when standing on
the front doorsteps they call in piteous
tones for help at seeing their mischiev-
GUS broods mounted on stills and turn
ing summersaults in the neighboriEg
mad puddles.
