CARsox. Feb. II, 1877.
Ed. News: Legislation, while II does
not exactly lag, is a slow sort Of business
Just now. II Is transacted expeditiously
enough; but the word slow has come to DO
used in other senses than ~ descriptive Of
nero motion. Anything that Is uninter-
esting IL called slow, and II IL In that sense
that I use the word In reference to the
legislation now in hand In the Nevada
Legislature. There are still some i'm
portant measures undispesed Of. but in the
main they are Of . nature not TO attract
any marked public interest. in consequence
Of which there IL q marked contrast be-
tween this and previous Legislatures as
regards the attendance Of spectators. Dry
Ia probably q better word In this connec-
tion than slow and people not directly
interested in o measure can ind mere con
genial employment than sitting In the
legislative halls listening 10 the dry details
and watching the prosy routine Of bills 10
set aside Indian reservations, 10 pay PEN
sions to people who found or lost the Com
stock, 10 amend an act entitled an act 10
amend an act 20 provide revenue for the
government Of the State Of Nevada. Tho
last named. ciphersd down, may either
mean q measure 10 provide for the taxation
Of the proceeds Of mines, or for the reduc-
ton Of the license for selling whisky. You
rs.d' s.d even then ia hsrd 10 pick The
kernel out Of the shell Of verbiags which
surrounds u. lts Ike trying 70 eat pecan
