Gloomy Prospect.

From the course hitherto pursued by
the present Legislature there is no ren-
son To expect that in the few days Of
the session which yet remain they will
do anything that they ought to do par
ticularly il there is any money in not
doing it.
1t appears that the bill affixing q
penalty to the failure of Railroad Com.
panies to make their reports to the
State officers according to law has not
yet been passed. but is pigeon -holed
somewhere.
The fear that they will fail to do
what they ought to do. however, ia no
greater than the dread that they will
pass every iniguitous measure that tn e.
lobbyists have been putting up money
for oil winter such rs tho incTeRse in
the fees Of officers. the eStention OF
the term OF county officers, etc.
The fact that our Legislators have
been corrupted being so evident there
is every reason to fear the worst, and
no reason to expect that any good will
be- accomplished.

There is no good reason Why this

knows the mines Of Storey County have
paid enough into the State and county
treasures to entitle them to this con-
sideration."
