Carson Correspondence
CABox. January 10. 1879

Eiko LHdepenient:-0u law reads thai
legislators shall receive their per diem
for evety day that they are actually en-.
ployed in the service Of the State.
They have thus far in this session adj.
journed over from FridEy till Monday.
BY n rather liberal construction OF the
law they skip out after the adjonrn-
ment and take in their pay for Satur-
days When all the members arc in
attendance, during the larger part of
the week. there is much hustle and
movement in Carson but when they ad-
journ and leave fe- pleasanter pastures
the Capital seems dull and at n stand
still. Whittier do our Solons hy2 To
Virginia chiefly where they refresh
themselves variousiy against their mr.
dous labors of the coming Monday.
Some OF tho wire men have taken the
present opportunity Of vacation to make
flying trip to Sacramento, They will
mingle with the constitution makers
there and no doubt DO sharpened by
the association.
Mr.. Mayhugh showed me an excel
lent mommorial resolution which lie
will offer in the House tomorrow. 1t
explains the precarious situation of the
people on our northern border and
urges upon Congress that they send
IN NaN 80. 4
the time of uprising among the hostiles.
The resolution calls for two companies
OF cavalry to be stationed ut Camp Hal
leck rs provision against the appre-
hended emergency. The move by our
representative is we'll timed and should
receive immediate favorable considera-
ton.
II. i. Mighels, defeated candidate Oh
the Republican ticket for Lieutenant
Governor, has been pouring hot shot
into the camp Of the railroad people
lately. He is n sharp, forcible AMI
ready writer. He discusses the aues-
ton of freiGhts and fares in his paper,
the Morning appeal, almost daily and his
articles are universally read. He has
made himself familiar with the subject
matter and takes overy opportunity to
turn himself loose against the G. Z. aud
our two internal roads. the Virginia &
Truckee 1.-THE ewooked vail woad" I
and the Eureka & Palisade. Mr..
MiGhels. better known simply. by men
and boys alike, rs Harry" has just
accepted al Invitation from Il large
number Of Senators and AssomLIymen
asking him to deliver them q lecture and
tell them what he knows about the
workings of the railroads. lie has con-
scented and will address the legislators
aud people in the Assembly Chamber
to-morrow cyeuing. Everybody is on
tptoo with expectancy. They know
| that they will not be bored, for Michels
rms over with fun and humor, and they
arc curious, for development, expose,
or whatever you call it, is looked for.
ward to that will be stunning to the cor.
porations. The position taken by the
Hon. III. Il. Mighels on the important
question hns given rise to much com
ment and speculation. Ho has hitherto
been the ardent friend and supporter
OF the monopolics. lie is ono OF til,
strictest of strict Republicans, the part,
with which capitalists are wont to affil
late and from which they have derived
their very back bone of special legisla
ton in Nevada. We arc not disposed
to inquire the animus Of Mr.. Mighel
i'll these premises. The people will
only TO too glad to learn from him o
anybody else how 10 obtain relief from
expressions and wrongs to which the,
aro subjected ut the hands of tho cor
porations.
Our Elko members nro quiet hard
working gentlemen in tho interests o.
their constituency. There Is no BON
bast in their behavior. They are look
ing out for Elko county. Some tim,
shortly | shall outline the work SO IA
done by each Of our representatives..
The showing you will find satisfactory
Our old friond Gov. Bradley is sicl
ag lin. He will 90 below in n few days
70 seek q more genial climate.
