Nor FoB JosEPH.-The citizens OF
Lincoln county were not only surprised,
but as,onished, on Sunday morning las}
to see published in the Eureka Sentinel,
of the Oath ultimo, that a bill had been
introduced in the Assembly by George
Patton, Assemblyman from Lincoln
county, to pay to Joseph Holland moneys
said to have been used by him in the
prosecution of the murderers of his
brother and Carter down OF the Moapo
Indian reservation. That an Assembly,
man should be so foolish as to introduce
such bill, and that Joseph Holland
should be so cheeky as to present such a
claim for consideration, is what aston
ished the people. The law does not look
on the murder of Joseph Hollands
brother in any worse light than any other
mans brother, as such murder occurred
this county done the best that was posi-
BILE towards convicting. The county
spent thousands of dollars to effect that
object, having the District Attorney and
the rest of the county officers at work at
it as thorough as possible; that they
were unfortunately unable to convict the
murderers, was not the fault of the
officers of the law. What Joseph Fol
land expended, if he expended anything
that Uncle Sam did not reimburse him,
was done by himself as an act to avenge
the death of his brother, done voluntarily
in pursuance of such idea. and that the
the State of Nevada should be called on
to reimburse him for such an outlay is
preposterous. The people here are in
dignapt that such bill should be pre-
scented and will ask a strict account from
all their representatives concerning this
matter. After the news was received
here, as stated above, on Sunday the
telegraph was placed in requisition and
notice sent to our legislators chat that
bill was q very obnoxious arrangement,
and that if they wished to suit their con-
stituents they would do what they could
to throw it out. A petition against it
was also placed in circulation and OBJ
tanned the signatures of all the business
men in Phoebe. 1t is to be hoped friend
Patton will think twice before presenting
before the Legislature any such obnox-
ious matters.
RAYMOND & ELY ELECTION The an
nual meeting OF the stockholders of the
Raymond & Ely Company. and the cleo
tion of Trustees for the same to serve

San Francisco Tuesday. The McDon-
AIDS, who have held control of this
mine for two years past, lost control that
day, it passing under the Morrow and
Roberts faction. The following are the
Trustees: Charles McDermot, Main

Hussey, A. Il. Lissak and George H.
Roberts. The Trustees held meeting

j. H. Phebe Superintendent and Thos.

will make an entire change in the affairs
of the mine here. Nearly 900 shares
we're represented. resolution was
adopted endorsing the acts Of the retiring

100000 shares. subject to the decision Of

Oun BONDED DEBr.-The bonded deb
of Lincoln county is $4,000, besides
lots of arrears of interest. On Monday
last q bill was sent here for approval
drawn up by San Francisco lawyer a
the suggestions OF large bondholder, &c
the effect that the bondholders wanted
the county to borrow enough none,
from the State to cancel the bonds at tn,
rate of 60 cents on the dollar, this none,
to be repaid the State by the money tina
would accrue in the County Treasury TO
the payment of the interest on th,
bonded debt, the State in the meantime
not to charge any interest. This is
first rate proposition for Lincoln county
but whether the State of Nevada will Be-
it in the same light remains to be seen.
