Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-01-26

The practice of sending up re-
quests at concerts is sometimes to be
commended, but only in certain
cases, and when the sender is sure
he is in sympathy with the tastes OF
the audience. Because some person
has heard and admired some particu-
lar song in the past, that is no reason
why it should be sung for the benefit
of the audience, for others may have
tastes very different than himself.
It is far better to allow the Jubilee
Singers to choose their own pro-
gramme, and follow out the same,
than for persons in the house to reg
ulate the entertainments themselves,
and thus say what shall be sung and
what shall be omitted. The perform
ers themselves know their own capa-
bilities the best, they are perfectly
aware in what roles the best success
is to be had, and if the programme
is left where it properly belongs then
the audience as whole will be much
more benefited and pleased. On
Wednesday evening almost every
piece sung was sung by request, and
while these were admirably done,
vet better selections in the main were
omitted for the qualification OF few
persons in the audience itself.

The memorial presented yesterday
to the Speaker of the House, notice
of which may be found in our legis-
lative columns is handsomely orna-
mented ivory gavel. The body is in
the shape of wine barrel, and the
shape Of the handle is in consonance
with that of the body. On one head
of the barrel are the words eighth
Session" and on the other the words
III. r. Mighles, Speaker" Then in
addition on the ends in the center
of the circles are boquets of flowers,
and the carving and work on the
whole is at once beautiful and elab-
crate.
It seems several attempts have
been made of late to interfere with
the working of the bonanza mines. A
short time since an attempt was
made to burn the hosting works of
the Con. Virginia. and now we hear
Of an attempt to blow up the G. and
C. shaft. Such villiany is too great
to go UNPUBLISHED, for if the latter
attempt had succeeded the lives of a
great many men would have been
imperiled. Vigorous efforts will be
made to capture the offenders, and
if caught a righteous punishment
will be melted to them.
Yesterday soon after being called
to order the Senate took recess un-
til noon in order that the Senators
might witness the gavel presentation
in the House. They were too late to
hear the memorial read, but listened
with attention to the speech in re-
ply. A goodly crowd of other spec
tators were also present, and good
feeling and enjoyment predominated
on the occasion.
The mining superintendent were
before the Committee on Ways and
Means on Wednesday, and presented
their side of the question in regard
to the taxation of the mines. The
position of most of the members on
this subject is too we'll known to re-
quire discussion, and the chances
are that the bullion tax will not be
troubled during the present session.
In case of the passage of the State
Prison Bill it is understood that Gen.
Batterman will be prominent can
didate for the Wardenship with the
privilege granted of appointing his
own deputies.
