CARSON. New. Jan. 10. 1873.
EprroR News: Yesterday was o day
OF rest to our overworked solons, and
they availsd themselves Of its privileges
with a placid serenity that bespoke lives
passed amid hours OF luxurious ease; Tor
to few mortals is granted the happy
boon Of sitting in Senatorial chairs
smoking cigars with washoe wrappers
and Tybo allings, and their feet elevated
across Senatorial desks. The new
corners are the one who generally pass
their idle hours in this ssmi.aristocratic
style. The old binds have various rocks
in which they destroy the soul OF time
in a much more agreeable. IL not ssnsi.
BILE, manner The idle day was caused
by tho
DEATH OF HON.. n. J. WASH,
Assemblyman from Lincoln county.
Yesterday the remains laid in state in
the Assembly Chamber. In front Of the
Speakers desk. and Notwithstanding the
extreme coldness OF the day many ladies
aud gentlemen paid their last respects
in calling. The solemn funeral ser.
vices Of the Episcopal Church was read
By the Rev. Mr.. Davis. when the cor
tece headed by q band proceeded to the
graveyard followed by nearly all the
members OF the Legislatures and the
attaches thereof.
A sERKsADE.

letter, to state a few facts In favor OF a
rapid, and II is to be hoped. permanent
reaction in our State taxation. Senator
Cassidy has already introduced q bill re-
ducing the taxation from ~ to % cents
ON the 800. This IL q safe meas
ure, for above that amount OF taxa.
ton is grand larceny psrpetratsd on the
people. In the first place we have nc
assurance that the ensuing two years
will be as prosperous a. the past, and II
therefore behooves US to prepare for O
famine in time OF q feast, and lessen the
burden Of taxation upon our people
for while We have nearly seven
hundred thousand dollars In the State
Treasury some Of the

This is a singular. in~copgruious and
apparently uucomplimsntary condition
Of affairs. But lot us Dee II with ordi.
