ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
CARSON, Jan 20. - While considerable
routine work was transacted in the Legis-
~lature, both houses sitting until 8 O'Clock,
very little Roadway was really made. The
famous Forty-day-adjournmen resoluti ton
was slaughtered. Gallagher, chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, which
reported an amendment to the resolution
inserting the proviso that ar adjournment
sine die would be in order Feb. IA il the
appropriation and deficiency bills had be-
come q law by that date. He asked for
the reading Of the report. General talk
ensued, in which each Of the honorable
Senators explained his position, so that his
record would bear examination hereafter.
Westerfeld, Poujsde, Foley and Dennis
spoke against accepting the proviso.
Smyth, Parker, Marker and Gallagher ar
Gued in favor Of the came. Westerield
thought that right aud justice demanded
q short session. Poujade ridiculed the
amendment, and exposed its real motive.
Foley said he thought the Senate should
do its work in forty days, and stop f%ooling
away the peoples money. Fish insisted
that his bill 10 compensate Grand Jurors
would have been lost had the Legislature
adjourned in three weeks, as was first pro-
posed. Briggs said he had been in favor
OF q forty-day session when be first came
here, but since he had seen how the first
three weeks had been frittered away he had
come TO the conclusion that il was impos-
sible TO complete the necessary legislation
within that period. Smyth held up the
specter OF an extra session. Parker said
that since the Democrats were trying TO
make o little buncombe out Of this matter,
the Republicans also intended to tack on
some, by putting in this proviso. Marker
said q good deal remained 10 be done.
Dennis suggested that the Senators should
allow the newspapers to write them down
Assess, "but, for Gods sake, don't write
yourself down asses"
The roll was called with the result on
the question OF adopting the committees
amendment. ten voting aye and nine nay.
The next stage was 10 take = vote on the
motion by Westerield to table the resolu.

Jade asked and obtained leave &c file q pro-
test against the actien Of the Senate in this
matter. The concurrent resolution was
not long in finding iss way to the slaughter
house.

The White Pine County Courthouse bill
went through the Senate to-day, after be-
iug amended so as TO cut down the appro-
priation to IS, 900. Lyman and Williams
were the only two Senators who voted
against IL.
The bill to transfer to the Board OF State
| Prison Commissioners the appointment OF

and made the special order for Thursday
next. The idea now Is to amend the bull

hence.

his own shoes next Monday. In the Re-
publican caucus held yesterday, he re-
| ceiyed "a votes to 2 received by HANKS
