OVER DOSE.

The Enterprise and Stage, the head and
tail of journalism in Nevada, are Crowding
the Chronicle for keeping alive the subject of
the late frauds in the Nevada Legislature and
following up vigorously the recreant members
who went back on their pledges and sold out
their constituents. The Stage wants the
Chronicle to change the subject, and suggests
the question of water supply for discussion,
while the Enterprise advises patience, and in
Inmates that we are on the eve of develop
ments, in the way of a revised schedule,
which will show that the V. & T. Railroad
managers are going to be magnanlnous, now
that they have not been forced to be just.
The Enterprise names April l as the day of
grace Does the Enterprise mean to tritle
with the feelings of an outraged and insulted
community by encouraging them to believe
that this grasping and remorseless corpora
ton will ever voluntarily yield to the people

joke to play with The Enterprise lodges the
question and endeavors to destroy the effect
of the Chronicles work by insidously attack
ing the motives of the latter. This mode of
handling the discussion could never have
been resorted to by the Enterprise if it had
had the courage or independent power to take
opposite grounds to those assumed by the
Chronicle and other anti monopoy newspa-
pers, 1t feels itself placed in a false position
by silence oD so vital question in a commu-
nifty where pledge breakers are being more
severely punished than if mauled with clubs;
where they are not tarred and feathered, but
where the suppressed scorn and silent con-
tempt of their neighbors render life almost
uncomfortable. 1t must speak, and it does so
in the way of ridicule, in order to turn pub
lie opinion away from its own cramped and
eJnasculated attitude. The argument ad no
rninem proves nothing as to a matter of fact.
1t is the last piece of sophistry resorted to by
a man in bad scrape, who, feeling he must
speak, attacks somebody's motives or reputa-
ton in order to crowd the main issue out of
sight and keep up sickly show of pretended
earnestness. The Enterprise finds a ''source
Of infinite amusement" in contemplating the
maneuvers of the Chronicle. 1t finds some
thing OVERWHELMINGLY funny" in the situa-
ton So large and respectable journal must
have good reason, although certainly be-
y)nd the ken of large majority Of its read
ers, for such exquisitely mirthfui humor
on H. grave affair 1t claims to he ''he
hind the scenes, however, and we shall have
to accept the explanation. We presume that
tue Stage is behind the scenes also!
THE Hon. JOHN WHITEAKER, lately elected
member of Congress from Oregon, arrived in
San Francisco on Wednesday morning, after
some delays by land aud sea, and took spe-
cial train at 10 o'clock A. NJ, on which to
Overtake the overland train which started east
the day before. He has &c hours and over
800 miles to make up. The special IS travel
ing at the rate of 40 miles an hour, including
stops, by which the member expects to over
take the train that is to reach Washington on
the 18th, some 800 miles east of Ogden. On
the 18th instant DIR. Whiteaker must be on
land to take part in the organization of the
House and make it solid for the Democrats
The eeApnse OF the special train on this oc-
casion is variously estimated between ST 500
and 81, 800. There are other members absent
who can assist at the organization only by
getting up from beds of illness and leopard
izing their lives but they will all be there,
all that may be necessary in the emergency.
Out in the cold for sixteen solid Republican
years when Lincoln and Grant presided, and
kept pretty much bothered by Rutherford for
the last year so, they are not going to give
up any of their proverbial party discipline at
the present suspicious time for Democrats.
We are soon to see how they will account for
the responsibility that they so merrily rush
forward to take upon themselves. The only
reason we have to presume that they may
steer clear of rocks aud shoals in the coming |
excitement in extra session, is that they will |
be afraid to hurt their little plans for the next
presidency.
THE complete break down of OLeary in |
the champion walking match, at Gilmore's |
Gardens, New York, will be great disap-
pointment to his hackers, as well as to a far
wider circle, which had confidence in his phys
ical endurance and pluck. 1t appears that his
