TUESDAY, JAN. %.
Senate-Mr. Livingston gave notice
that we would at an early day introduce
a bill to regulate corporations, mining
companies and outside banking insti
tutions doing business within this
State.
The Governors message was then
submitted, and as the committees
, had not been announced an adjourn
; ment was taken until the next day.
Assembly-As soon as the prelimi-
nary business had been disposed o.
the Anti-Lottery people sprung @
coup d'etat which had the effect oil
i, completely paralyzing the friends o.
the amendment, if it ever had any
, 1t had been quietly intimated fol-
A.. twenty-four hours previous that there
was an impending calamity lowering
< over the lottery people, and wher
T the following resolutions, introduced
by A~ssemblyman Wilson Of Elko, were
read, all recognized that the bolt had
fallen:
a Whereas, A public rumor which hal
reached the National legislative halls ex
lists to the effect that the twentieth session
of the Legislature of the State of Neyads
intends passing an amendment to the con
s~titution Of the State establishing a lot
terry in the State, whereby the State shall
participate in the spoils, p~lundered from
the people.
;. Whereas, Such rumor is unjust to oui
people, injurious to the State and a direct
: reflection upon our honor, and upon the
fidelity Of ourselves to the pledges taken
by us as set forth in the platforms of all
the political parties in the State.
Whereas, Such rumor is calculated
greatly to injure the chances of pending
legislation in Congress of special interest to
the State and is further calculated to in
vite National action depriving Nevada OF
Statehood by furnishing a reason therefor.
Whereas, The present session of Con.
gress will soon be adjourned. and it is nee
essary that the attitude of this Legisla.
ture ON the proposed constitutional amend
ment should be brought speedily before
Congress.
