THAT REPORT.

Speaking of the Report so generously pre-
pared for the enlightenment of the Legislature
by the Virginia and Truckee Railroad author
tiles, the Surer State of February 18 says
The report will accomplish the purpose it
was intended for, however-that for furnish
ing the Legislature a pretext for not reducing
fares and freights below the present rates,
and that will satisfy Mr.. Yerington ard the
company of which he is Superintendent
With the figures of the Superintendent before
them, the Senate and Assembly can not now
do less than give the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad Company vote of thanks for being
public benefactors, and pass a relief bill for
the company for the amount of S25, 900, that
being the excess Of dividends over the net
earnings of the road for the year 1878. Mr..
Yerington does not state how this $50, 900
was obtained, but it was probably borrowed
at high rate of interest for the purpose of
convincing the public that the road pay
ing, and law makers that it was not.

WHEN DID ASSEMBLYMAN HOWE
SECURE HIS BUILDING LOT
FROM MIR. YERINGTON2

Ordinarily the question propounded in the
headline would be an impertinence. Events
which transpired at the Carson Theater on
Wednesday night, however, bring it within
the range of public vision, and make it a per-
tinent subject of i'quiry.
After the resolutions which were adopted
at that meeting had been read, Mr.. Howe
rose to explain his position. He had said, in
effect, that he had never been the subject of
any improper overtures by any person con-
nected with the Virginia and Truckee Rail
road Company, when some one in the house
remarked, eyes, but you got the land all the
same"
Choosing to notice this interruption, Mr.
Howe essayed to explain the circumstances
under which he had purchased the said lot Of
land of Mr.. Yerington.
He averred, positively, that he had pur-
chased or made bargain for the said lot be-
fore the election of last Fall To use his own
language in substance ne is to he reported as
saying 81 bought that lot long before L
thought of being member of the Legisla-
ture."
Yesterday we'll known citizen, long resi-
dent of Carson, informed the editor of the
MORNING APPEAL that Mr.. Howe, some weeks
subsequent to the election, met him on the
street and informed him that he had just
purchased the said lot
Another gentleman, we'll known here and
old resident, asserts, positively, that some
three or four weeks after the election of last
Fall, the said lot was still at Mr. Yerington's
disposal, that he offered Yerington $500 in
coin for the same, and that the latter treated
the offer as one which he would take under
advisement.
Again, this same gentleman states that some
days subsequent to his making this offer of
purchase, he renewed it, and was induced to
DO so upon the recommendation of one of
Mr. Yeringtons associates i'll the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Office in this city.
Moreover, it is fact that Dir. Howe's
dwelling house was not moved from the place
Of it's construction to the said lot until some
time in December last.
Now we submit that these showings Ito put
things mildly, have the effect of making Mr.
Howes memory seem to be lamentably and
abnormally defective

died last evening, between ten and eleven
o'clock, after a short illness of about twenty
hours. His disorder was an iDfammatory
sore throat, which proceeded from cold, of
which he made but little complaint on Friday.
On Saturday morning, about three clock, he
became i'll. DIR. Craik attended him in the
morning, and Doctor Dick, of Alexandria,
and Doctor Brown, of Port Tobacco, were
soon after called in Every medical assistance
was offered, but without the desired effect.
His last scene correspondent with the whole
tenor of his life; not a groan nor a complaint
escaped him in extreme distress. With per-
feet resignation, a d III full possession OF his
reason, he closed his well spent life.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
ICommunicated.I

Communicated
EDITOR APPEAL.-As a private citizen OF
Nevada and taxpayer and consumer IN
Ormsby County, wish to express my great
qualification in witnessing the great and un-
precedented interest of late manifested in the
question of the proper legal regulation of
| freights and fares on all railways in this
State, local as well as inter State. While my
individual views on this subject have never
been ambiguous, and have never changed, l
am glad to see that many who have either
lain dormant or sided with the corporations
in their criminal exactions and unchecked op-
pressions, have, at last, and before too late,
discovered that, in this matter, "forbearance
has ceased to be a virtue" There is now
some just reason to hope that the people may
obtain a measure of, if not full, relief from
their sufferings, borne patiently for decade.
| am one of those-too few-who believe in
making clean sweep IN the premises, by
the correction of all existing evils connected
with railways, local and Interstate. The
name nor character of railroad extracts from
d
of oppression, nor give it any charms render
ing endurance more easy. When one is
robbed outright, the feeling of wrongful prov
ocation is as great, if done by prince, as if
robbed by the c. P. as by the V. & T., and
by unjust determinations as by ruinous over
charge. The true theory, then, upon this
subject is, to ascertain where and what
wrongs exist, small or great, and at once cor
rect them, with impartiality, and without ex-
ception l have heard it said that this is a
difficult subject to legislate upon, and that
Legislators are in quest of light upon it. AL
most any matter of moment, calling for leg
islative action, is more or less difficult of So
luton, but where the necessity exists, and
there is the will to do, honest ingenuity will
devise the way, and if the present legislature
honestly desires to do so, it can give the peo-
pie the relief they demand on this subject,
perhaps not perfect, but so nearly so that, as
in many other cases, observation and expe-
rience will enable subsequent legislation to
bring it up to the golden standard of right.
If this shall not be done, the recalcitrant will
return to their constituents covered with un-
dying shame, and the people are not in
mood to soon forget their shortcoming. In
deed, it is burning shame that these matters
were not attended to, as much as eight years
ago, and it is equally outrageous and dis
graceful that the legislature has never even
attempted to tax the millions of acres of land
in this State, belonging to the c. ?. K. K.
Co. 1t can be done, and if not done, the
neglect will be without excuse or palliation.
[ imagine | hear you say {" it will not be
done this session" More than likely it will
not. JUSTICE.

reduction of wages not having been accepted,
the mines have been closed. The old men

and in some cases have possession
of the mines On Tuesday night Sher
iff Work, with posse of 1OS men,
mounted and heavily armed, marched on
Brownsville, arriving there at o'clock
Wednesday morning. The Sheriff immedi-
ately went to work arresting the miners, in
many cases taking them out of bed, and a
large number of the strikers were jailed. In
addition to the 108 men from Bealsville, 122
from California and Greenville were sworn
in and joined the other party at Browns
vile and West Brownsville and made
many arrests to-day. Many of the min
ers have fed to the mines with pro-.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

Washington, February 0.-Representative
Willis of Kentucky, after consultation with
other Representatives, has concluded to take
the chances of obtaining an opportunity
to move for concurrence in the Senate amend
ments to the Chinese Immigration bill, instead
of taking the course agreed upon, OF sending
the bill Immediately to conference commit
tee with view to speedier action, and per-
haps also the omission of the clause providing
for the total abrogation of the fifth and sixth
articles of the Burlingame treaty. The Pa
cifc Coast Republican delegation think that
this course is the most advisable, but having
placed the Democrats in possession of the
grounds for their opinion, they say the re-
sponsibility rests with the Democrats, whom
they could not successfully antagonize.
New York, February 20.-The Legislative
Assembly of Rhode Island has adopted the
usual strong resolutions against the Chinese
bill and sent copies to her Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress.
New York, February 21.-Merchants in
the China trade propose calling a monster
mass meeting urging the President to veto
the Chinese bill A member of one of the
largest importing houses in the China trade
says the effect will be that Great Britain will
step in and reap advantages. 1t is not impos
sible that England will soon be as middle
man for this country, buying its goods to send
to China, and shipping Chinese goods to
American markets. One hope for the saliva
ton of American commerce with China lies
in Presidential veto.
