CARSON, Feb. 5.-The Senate Committee
on State Prison and Insane Asylum, and the
Assembly Committee on State Prison paid
an official visit TO the Insane Asylum at
Reno yesterday. On Sunday next, the 9Th
instant, the Legislature will visit the same
institution in a body.
The Senate, perchance, with q realizing
sense that too much time is being wasted
In debate, has adopted q resolution, re-
stricting members to five-minute speeches,
unless unanimous consent is obtained to
exceed the limit.
Senator Boyle's militia bill was up on it's
third reading, but as some question arose
as to the coustitutionality Of one Of its sec-
lions, it was referred back to the Military
Committee.
Another wildcat complication law bill
made it's debut 10 the Senate. 1t was in
troduced by Mr.. Fish, by request, and it
provides for the payment Of 81, 500 to Judge
B. D. King and Assemblymsn D. Allen for
revising the statutes. 1t went to the Ju-
-.
dietary Committee.
The husband and wife separate estate bill
was laid on the table.
In the Assembly, the following veto mes-
ssge from Gov. Adams was read.
CARSON CRY, Feb. 4, 1885.
To the Honorable the Assembly: At the
request Of friends OF the bill, / return you
without my approval Assembly bill No. g..
an Act to amend an Act, entitled "An
Act Concerning Juries," approved March
5, 1878. and the several Acts amendatory,
and su pplementary thereto. The objec-
tons to this bill are that sections 8 and 4
amend section 6 and 7 OF the Act of March
5, 1878, which sections we're repealed by
the Legislature Of 1881, thus amending q
law that had no existence.
(Signed) j. W. ADAMS, Governor.
The veto was sustained by q unanimous
vote. This is the second Assembly bill of
the session, from which the Executive sig
nature has been withheld by the request Of
the promoters Of the particular measure.
We ought, perhaps, to be charitable to our
law makers for essaying to amend laws
that have no existence, in view OF the fact
that the bill introduced to-day was drawn
up by one Of the District Judges, who, it is
only fair to presume, is acquainted with
the law, however violent the presumption
may be.
The reading Of the Assembly Journal of
two days proceedings occupied an hour and
ten minutes.
The Assembly concurrent resolution
was passed, granting q leave Of absence TO
Superintendent OF Education Young to en-
able him to deliver an address on Educa-
ton at New Orleans.
Tyrrell's bill to provide for the erection
Of q State building at Carson for . print
ing office, armory, commission and storage
rooms calls for an appropriation Of $1,000.
Liddle's bill providing for the compensa-
ton Of Deputy County Assessors, which
passed the Assembly, fixes their compensa-
ton at SIS for each day Of work actually
performed in not to exceed six months.
The old rate was $40 per diem. The sal
airy law, which wal repealed at the last ses-
sion, fixed the amount ct 81. The repeal
revived the $40 rate. Hence, the Liddle
bill.
The Senate met at 10 A. NJ, recessed at
Ills, met again at l P. NJ, and adjourned
at LAO.
The Assembly sat from 1890 A. M. to 10
