THE FAIR THING.
Business is certainly being dispatched
in a satisfactory manner, both in the Sen
ate and the Assembly. The work in either
branch is done in a couple of hours each
day. Much credit is due Lieutenant.

for their promptness and fairness as pre-
siding officers, and a Democratic CORES.

THE EUREKA DELEGATION.
On examination of the bills in the room
of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate,
through the courtesy of Assistant Ser
geant-at-Arms McSorley, l find seven bills
introduced by Eureka's Senators, three by
Senator Hobart and four by Senator Foley.
Senator Hobart's are, Senate bill No. 10,
an Act amending Gan Act defining the
rights of husband and wife," Senat bill
No. IL, in relation to probating u certain
paper purporting to be the last will and
testament of Geo. G. Blair, deceased. and
an Act to pay the claim of j. G. Powell,
Assessor Of Eureka County. Senator
Foley is introducer of Senate bills Nos. 16,
IT, "a and 35, the first an amendment to
an Act regarding the securing of mechan-
les liens; the second to amend 'An Act
concerning wills requiring either the
signature of the t~estator or that of a wit
ness at testator's request, and to be sub
scrIbed to by two Witnesses; the third
providing for compiling the laws of the
State of Nevada Noticed in another por-
ton Of this letter., bill No. IS being an
Act authorizing the Board of Examiners
to employ attorneys at Washington City to
prosecute claims against the General Gov
eminent. This is an important measure,
being a proposition to amend the Act of
Feb. 20, 1881, and as such I give it:
Section 1. Section one of said Act is
hereby amended SO as to read as follows:
Section 1. The Board of Examiners are
hereby directed to employ one or more at
torneys at the City of Washington, District
of Columbia, to prosecute the claims Of
the State Of Nevada against the General
Government for the five per cent due this
State from the General Government on
unsold lands within the Territorial limits,
and set apart as Indian reservation; for the
prosecution Of the claims of the State
against the General Government for
money expended in suppressing Indian
outbreaks and wars occurring in this State,
and for money expended by the State of
Nevada, and as successor to the Territory
of Nevada, in aid of the United States

In my next l shall refer to the measure
by the Eureka Assemblymen.
THE ORPHANS HOME.
The Board having charge of the Orphans
Home, consisting of the State Treasurer
(Tufy), Superintendent of Public In
struction young and Surveyor General
(Preble), on Monday last. went into the
election of a Superintendent and q Matron
for that institution, which resulted in re-
the present incumbents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John e.. Mills. Tufly supported J. P.
Smith, Preble voting for Mills, and Young
for E. L. Buckingham up to the seventh
ballot, when Mills was nominated by the
votes Of Preble and Young. There was a
strong opposition on the outside to Mills,
whose Republicanism is generally supposed
to be of the Dolly Yardenist kind, and
who, it is charged, and not denied, we be-
lieve, supported most of the so-called
Anti-Monopolist ticket in this county last
Fall. Against this charge it was claimed
that the Mills family had conducted the
affairs Of the Home economically and in a
generally satisfactory manner, and that to
''let well enough alone was good policy
in a case like this. However, there was
and is considerable bad blood over the
retention of Mr.. and Mrs. Mills among
stalwart Republicans, and it has been
strongly iutimated that Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
will be legislated out Of their present posi-
lions before this Legislature adiourns.

ANOTHER oLp.TlmER aoyE TO REST.
The remains OF Walter VIM, who died
at Valleys Springs on Monday last, we're
taken through to Virginia City the follow
ing day for interment. He wss Of the
modern %argaaGuts, and was among the
early residents of the Oomstock, where he
was engaged for years in the saloon bust
ness. He was a man of extensive reading,
was witty and humorous, had q warm
heart, and hia circle OF friends was larger
than generally surrounds men, although
t-Nf f'te3 thoy may uttF Liit MELLOW axe OF
o score years. He was buried on
Wednesday last, the Masonic brotherhood
and many other friends attending the good
old man's funeral. Walter Winn's mem
DRY will long be green and fresh among
his friends, like the accasia sprig comment
oratively placed above his grave, and acne
will remember him but il d kindly way.
Ton E%ooNoMY's JAKE.
Senator Foley of your county has, as /
suppose most Of your readers are aware,
introduced q bill providing for a compila-
ton of the Nevada laws from 1871 up to
the present time, the compilation to be
made by the Judges and the Clerk Of our
Supreme Court, and they to receive no
extra compensation for the Labor. This
would no doubt suit tho taxpayers Of Ne
vadG, but then II might not be so agreeable
to Il Supreme Justices and to Charley
Bicknell. The supporters Of the bill Civ
ing the la~w-compiliIs contract to Deal &
Thomas, az we'll as the friends of the Keith
Il Campbell bill, are hard at work to Be-
cure support for their respective measures.
The opinion obtains that there is no press
ing necessity sor d compilation Of the lava
at this time, when our State Treasury ia
by no means plethoric, and one Of our
leading lawyers said yesterday that the
profession could get along quite comfort
ably without a compilation at this time.
The Foley bill is certainly Il good one from
an economic standpoint, and If we must
have our laws compiled, let US have the
work done with no unnecessary expense TO
the State. THE last paragraph was writ
ten under . strain of embarrassing re-
sgonsiniiity, the writer not being Gnmind-

and Supreme Clerk ere sll ane specimens
