CARSON, Jan. 31.-Vetoes we're in order
to-day. The Senate received one and the
Assembly the other. The first was the
Withholding OF the Executive signature
from a bill increasing the salary Of the
Assessor Of Nye county. The second was
a veto OF the Assembly bill to protect
watchmakers and jewelers., so as to give
them a lien without attachment on arti-
Giles left for repair and not claimed within
u year. The last veto was by request OF
friends OF the bill, in order that it might
be further amended. The last veto was
sustained by the unanimous vote of the
Assembly, in which the bill originated.
The Assessor bill, however, was passed
over the Governors veto by q decisive vote
in each House. After the veto message
was read, Msute explained that be had in
troduced the bill at the request of his
constituents. The original proposition
was to increase the Assessors salary to
$1,000. The Republican County Conven-
tion had adjusted a plank fsvoring the in
crease. The nomination was accepted
with the understanding that the
salary should be raised accordingly.
PouJade also spoke in favor of
the bill. Williams said there was
ample precedent for increasing an officers
salary during his term. The Assessor OF
Nye county had to travel 800 miles to dis
charge his duties, and the salary fixed by
the bill WAS little enough. Dennis
thought that this was an exceptional case,
and therefore be would favor the bill. 1t
was then passed, Notwithstanding the
Governors objection, the only nays being
Smyth and Westerield.
In the Assembly there was some ford
speeeh-making over the message by Pike, a
Democrat, who seems to have constituted
himself the leader Of a Republican House,
raved and stormed until his voice rever-
berated through the corridor until it woke
the echoes in the Senate Chamber, in his
efforts TO sustain the Governor. The Nye
county delegation, which is Democratic,
and which favored the bill on its passage,
changed its tack and now was for the veto.
GoodiDg delivered his maiden speech on
this occasion. Marden and Laycock de-
Tended the bill. The impression seemed
to have got out that there was a political
Niger on the fence, and when the roll was
called only four of the Governors friends
could be rallied out to vote nay. Archer,
Gooding. Pike and Stroh, and all the re.
mainder, voted to pass the bill over the
veto.
The Assembly suffered q relapse Of the
crazy-quilt fever again to-day. 1t yester-
day defeated its own bill on the subject,
but the Senate bill came up for action as q
special order at 100 P. NJ. to-day. OF
course, the measure was doomed to defeat,
but it was amusing to observe the irregu-
lar. not TO say very arbitrary, in
which its enemies sought to give II its
quietus. Pike called for the reading OF
The titles OF the two bills. The Assembly
bill WAS defeated yesterday, and the Sen
ate bill was passed before the House. He
next claimed that under the Assembly rule
prescribing that when q question is post
poned indefinitely, the same shall not again
lie introduced during the session. The
Senate bill was not entitled to considera-
ton. This bold attempt in defiance OF al!
known parliamentary rules, and OF the
Constitution itself TO ignore the existence
II & co ordinate branch of a law-making
body, came very near being successful,
through the aid Of the Speaker. Mar
den moved that the bill be indefinitely
postponed on q viva voce vote. The
Speaker declared that the ayes had 1T.
Meanwhile, half 8 dozen voices were shout
ing for the yea and nay, but Mr.. George
claimed that he had not heard any such
call. There was then an awkward pause.
The members did not seem pleased with
the turn things had taken. The opponents
Of the bill desired that its friends should
have a chance TO go on the record, so the
next step was TO make a reconsideration oil
the vote, by which the bill was indefinitely
postponed. This was ruled out Of order.
Then an appeal was taken against the de-
cision OF the Chair. that the Assembly had
really voted to indefinitely postpone. The
vote stood IS in the affirmative, and ~ IN
the negative; so the ruling OF the Chair
was again reversed. The bill WA
called. when the Senate's Crazy-Quili
bill was indefinitely postponed. An
attempt was now made to introduce
a resolution that members devote their
per diem, or something OF that sort, to the
Nevada Womans' Industrial Art Associa-
ton, but the Speaker ruled it out OF order
a. an attempt to introduce the same ques'
ton again. 1t had none OF the character
istics OF the old question, but the Speaker
maintained that the motion to postpone
indefinitely carried everything else with it.
Another appeal was taken, and this time
Mr.. George was sustained 25 to 10. As he
announced the result. he remarked with .
sigh: 1.-THE Speaker is sustained for once
A call OF the House in the Assembly to-
dsy resulted in netting several 81 fines to
the Sergeant-at-Arms.
