The State Journal of June 10, contains an
extensive resume of the last session of the
Legislature which is intended no doubt for
the eye of such as do not have access to the
Legislative Journal Books. Its principal OBJ
iect is evidently defense of the non action
of that body relative to fares and freights on
Railroads. 1t is remarkable in the main for
its qualification of the Assembly and Senate
as to it's intelligence and ability to deal with
that question.
The Senator claims, however, that after
drifting through the session his cogitations
have enabled him to formulate the relief re-
quired by the people. He is SO good as to
adopt as the theory of his Senatorial action
hereafter the method which was plainly
pointed out to him in the columns of the AP-
PEAL at the beginning of the session. We
shall probably have opportunity to observe his
course in this respect when the Legislature
again meets.
Ii the percentage system of regulation is SO
plain to him now why was it not obvious to him
while inhis seat But, indeed, his defense is in
the main that the Oils presented Cnat DOQY
were not practicable, and that those who pre-
pared and offered them to members were &C
tuated by unworthy motives. Why didn' Mr..
Powning prepare and present an unobjection-
able bill himself? We have heretofore labored
under the supposition that this was peculiarly
the duty and function ofmembers of the Legis
lature. 1t is sad TO reflect upon the manner in
which Mr.. Powning was hampered by the At
rorney General and others in his efforts to re-
spond to the platforms. State and county,
upon which he was elected and to which he
with such alacrity promised fidelity in his
action as Senator We didn't know before
that members of the Legislature were liable
to such effective interference by the Attorney
General or other persons. We didn't know
before that our last Legislature was in fact
balldosed but such seems to have been the
fact. We have no doubt that Mr.. Powning is
quite right III his conclusion that the last
Legislature needs strong certificate of good
moral character, but it would have been in
goood taste and more servicable to the rail
road company if he had let the job out to a
regular Scrivner.

AN INSANE CHINAMAN.

The Silver State of Monday contains long
account of desperate struggle with Chinese
maniac at Piute Meadows in northwestern
Humboldt. The Chinaman was house ser
want in the family of Mr.. E. w. Crutcher,
consisting of Mrs Crutcher, a son 10 years
old, girl II and boy of 4. On Wednesday
morning the Chinaman did not get breakfast
as usual, and the oldest son started to light
the fire, using the poker to remove the ashes,
when he heard his mother scream. He ran
to where he heard her, and was Mortified to
find the Chinaman with Henry rifle in his
hand, choking his mother, who had tainted
with fright. As soon as the Chinaman saw
the boy, he let 60 of Mrs. Crutcher, and
turned on the boy who struck at him with the
poker and stunned him. Young Crutcher
then grabbed at the Chinaman and tried to
hold him down, and shouted to his sister to
get rope to tie his legs The girl and her
mother who had partially recovered, tried to
get the rope on his legs, but he kicked at
them so violently, that they could not succeed
in doing so. A desperate struggle ensued be-
tween young Crutcher and the Chinaman, who
was the stronger of the two, in which the
young mans arms were badly bitten, and one
of his fingers was severely bruised and lacera-
ted by the mad mans teeth He told his
sister to get the ak, bat she could not find it,
as the Chinaman, it was afterwards ascer-
tanned, had hid it in the sage brush. He
then told his mother to strike the Chinaman
with something anything. Mrs. Crutcher
finally got knife and gave it to her son who
struck the Chinaman on the neck, and cut his
jugular vein, causing him to bleed to death.
Some men from Bartlett creek, who were in
formed of the tragedy, went to the ranch and
buried the remains. The young man deliv
cred himself up to the Sheriff, but no action
was taken, as the killing is considered justi-
fable. 1t is feared that the bites the young
man received may prove poisonous and cause
serious results.

THE WHEATLAND MYSTERY does not seem
to be any nearer solution than at first Both
the girls are reported as gaining in strength
rapidly. Cora converses freely but has no re-
membrance of what has occurred, believing
herself to have been sick with brain fever.
Ida talks but very little. A Chinaman has
been arrested on suspicion. The detectives
hint at astounding developments in the near
future.

THE REASON WHY.
Last evenings Chronicle says

Last evenings Chronicle says
Ii Commander in Chief Kinkead feels that
the safety of the State demands that a review
of the available war forces shall be made not
later than July 4, 1879, Why has he not or
dered to Carson the militia from other parts
of the State 2
If the Chronicle had been considerate
enough to refer to paragraph $500 section
43, volume 2, compiled laws of Nevada, it
would have found an ample reason why the
Governor did not order out for review on July
4th the whole militia of the State That sec
ton provides that parades, ETC., shall be held
within the limits of the brigade to which the
troops belong, and the Governor could not
well review the troops of this brigade and
those of the second brigade on the same day
at points not less than three hundred miles
apart.

We were shown yesterday some pieces of
ore from the Belle Isle, which were completely
interviewer with wire silver. We are credita-
bly, informed that the mine is improving in
appearance every day, and from the purchas-
ing parties here, who are mostly persons who
have daily access to the underground work
ings, we are confident that the recent rise in
the stock was attributable to merit alone. 1t
appears to be the general opinion here, that
it will, IN the near future, sell for double the
present figures.

THE New York Sun tells the following story
of compulsory marriage and its termina-
ton:
A Chicago girl did not wish to marry her
lover but said yes to his proposal for the fun
of being engaged. The young man was very
much in earnest, and when she at length in
formed him that she had only been joking,
he threatened to kill her if she did not keep
her promise. Thus bulldozed, she submitted
to matrimony. That was year ago. Lately
she appealed to the Courts, and the Superior
Court has decided that the marriage, having
been accomplished by threat of violence, is
void
