The Holiday Recess of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-The indications
are that the holiday recess of Congress will
extend from Saturday. Dec. IS, to Monday

legislation will be ready for consideration
before the holidays and work is likely to be
confined to the appropriation bills.

DURRANT has again been SEN
fenced to hang, and the date set is
the 7th of next month. 1t does not
seem possible now that anything
can interfere with the carrying out
of the sentence. All legal tricks
known to the profession have been
practiced to keep Durrant's neck
from being stretched, and three
years have passed since he commit
ted the deeds for which he is to
hang. 1t is shameful that such de-
lays in the law can be made, for it
is such delays that breed crime.

THE County Commissioners of
Douglas county have, so far, refused
to offer any reward for the appre-
hension, arrest and conviction of
the cowardly brutes who mobbed
Uber. What is the matter? Are
they afraid to uphold the laws of
the State, or are they friends and
sympathizers of the members of the
mob? A petition is being circulated
in Carson Valley asking the Gov
ernor to offer a reward. The petition
should be signed by every decent
man in the valley and it should
further be signed by every self.re-
specting man in the State, and the
Governor should not be slow in
acting upon it. 1t is said that an
element in Carson Valley is boy
cotting the Genoa Courier for not
standing in with the lynchers, and
that threats have been made to
lynch others who objected to the
hanging of Uber. If these are facts
things have come to pretty pass
in Carson Valley, and steps should
be taken Immediately to teach this
element of foreigners that they can
not run the county of Douglas, much
less the State of Nevada.
