PATRICK, 46.110 Battery st, near Jackeon NEVADA JOURNAL, enn i A i THE LEGISLATURE. Senate, Jan. 26.—Mr. Ralston, was exoused from serving on the judiciary committee, Mr. Tingley introduced a concurrent resolution constituting the Standing Committees on Ways and Means of the two Houses, a joint committee on all financial measures. Mr. Robinson submitted a joint resolution authorizing the State Treasurer to suspend all payments or issue of bonds in settlement of claims for Indian wars: until such claims shall be passed upon by the Legislature. Under a suspension of the rules, the resolution was read three several times and passed. A message was received from the Assam bly, transmitting to the Senate a bill passed by the Assembly, and entitied “An act to authorise the State Treasurer to retain certain monies in hir possession.” The provisions of this bill ate partially oxplained in our report o/ the Assembly. Mr. Cook entered into an able and meritorious argument to . prove that such a measure should not passthe Senate. The credit of the state was pledged tocertain creditors, and they, as hard working and honest men. deserved the favorabie consideration of the Legislature, and while they had the power, they had not the tight, to make themselves preferred creditors. He was answered by Messrs. Robinron. Hubbsand Tingley, and alby seconded by Mr. Estill and gthers. But the bill was passed by an overwhelming vote, 17 to 6; and the cash will be retained in the Treasury. The Governor transmitted to the Senate a report of the number of pardons granted during the past year, alsoa statement of appointments to office made since May 1, 1851. It appears by the report that nineteen pardons have been granted to criminals during the past year. The nature of the crime of which they were convicted was, felony, 2; passing ceunterfeit money, 1; assault with intent to kill. 2; robbery 1; grand larceny. 5; selling liquor without license, 6; petit larceny, 2;. From the last named report, it appears that forty appointments to office have been made since May 1, 1851. The report of pardons was referred to the Judiciary Committee, with instructions to report whether they had been absolute or conditional pardons,&c, The Committee, on motion of Mr. Hubbs. ‘were also instructed to report bil in accordance with the constitution, directing the manner in which the Governor may exercise the pardoning power. Assemsty.—Mr,. Critten!en asked . that the regular order of business be suspended, and that he have leave tu introdace a bill. Unanimous leave being granted, Mr. C. proceded to explain the character of the important and unprecedonted measure which he proposed tointroduce. As a justification of it he referred to the financial embarrassments of the State—the absolute nece-sity that the most stringent guirds shrould be placed upon the treasury. and that the most rigid economy should be enforced in all the departments of the overnment. He said there was $80.0U0 ue the State from tuxes assessed last ear. He had been informed thata arge sum of money would be paid into the treasury to-day, and his objectin introducing this bill was to keep it there —to prevent its being paid out without a epecial law was pnesed for that pureva Mr. Crittenden then intoduced is bill. It directs and requires the State Treasurer to retain in his hands all monies which may come into the treasury on and after this dato, until the or oma thereof shall be preascribed by law. Mr. Ellis presented the petision of eitizens of Nevada, praying for the repeal of the charter of that city. Mr. Peachy introduced u joint resolu tion, granting Judge Solomon Heyden feldt leave of absence from tie State fur a term not exceeding 12 months. The resolution was concurred in. Mr. Ellis introduced a bi! to repeal the Charter of Nevada, and to provide for the payment of the city debts. Li ;wa referred io a solect committee. Senate, JAN. 27.-—After some discussion relative to the contested seats Mr. Robinson introduced a joint resolution, appropriating $788 for the relief of the Treasurer of Mevada county. It was referred to the Com. mittee on Finance. Mr. Frv introduced a bill for the suppression of gambling. Mr. Cook from the joint committee appointed to confer with Gen. Vallejo in regard to the removal of the Legis lature, reported that they had obeyec their instractiona, and laid before th: Senate a communication in writing . . . { from Gen.

PATRICK, 46.110 Battery st, near Jackeon NEVADA JOURNAL, enn i A i THE LEGISLATURE. Senate, Jan. 26.—Mr. Ralston, was exoused from serving on the judiciary committee, Mr. Tingley introduced a concurrent resolution constituting the Standing Committees on Ways and Means of the two Houses, a joint committee on all financial measures. Mr. Robinson submitted a joint resolution authorizing the State Treasurer to suspend all payments or issue of bonds in settlement of claims for Indian wars: until such claims shall be passed upon by the Legislature. Under a suspension of the rules, the resolution was read three several times and passed. A message was received from the Assam bly, transmitting to the Senate a bill passed by the Assembly, and entitied “An act to authorise the State Treasurer to retain certain monies in hir possession.” The provisions of this bill ate partially oxplained in our report o/ the Assembly. Mr. Cook entered into an able and meritorious argument to . prove that such a measure should not passthe Senate. The credit of the state was pledged tocertain creditors, and they, as hard working and honest men. deserved the favorabie consideration of the Legislature, and while they had the power, they had not the tight, to make themselves preferred creditors. He was answered by Messrs. Robinron. Hubbsand Tingley, and alby seconded by Mr. Estill and gthers. But the bill was passed by an overwhelming vote, 17 to 6; and the cash will be retained in the Treasury. The Governor transmitted to the Senate a report of the number of pardons granted during the past year, alsoa statement of appointments to office made since May 1, 1851. It appears by the report that nineteen pardons have been granted to criminals during the past year. The nature of the crime of which they were convicted was, felony, 2; passing ceunterfeit money, 1; assault with intent to kill. 2; robbery 1; grand larceny. 5; selling liquor without license, 6; petit larceny, 2;. From the last named report, it appears that forty appointments to office have been made since May 1, 1851. The report of pardons was referred to the Judiciary Committee, with instructions to report whether they had been absolute or conditional pardons,&c, The Committee, on motion of Mr. Hubbs. ‘were also instructed to report bil in accordance with the constitution, directing the manner in which the Governor may exercise the pardoning power. Assemsty.—Mr,. Critten!en asked . that the regular order of business be suspended, and that he have leave tu introdace a bill. Unanimous leave being granted, Mr. C. proceded to explain the character of the important and unprecedonted measure which he proposed tointroduce. As a justification of it he referred to the financial embarrassments of the State—the absolute nece-sity that the most stringent guirds shrould be placed upon the treasury. and that the most rigid economy should be enforced in all the departments of the overnment. He said there was $80.0U0 ue the State from tuxes assessed last ear. He had been informed thata arge sum of money would be paid into the treasury to-day, and his objectin introducing this bill was to keep it there —to prevent its being paid out without a epecial law was pnesed for that pureva Mr. Crittenden then intoduced is bill. It directs and requires the State Treasurer to retain in his hands all monies which may come into the treasury on and after this dato, until the or oma thereof shall be preascribed by law. Mr. Ellis presented the petision of eitizens of Nevada, praying for the repeal of the charter of that city. Mr. Peachy introduced u joint resolu tion, granting Judge Solomon Heyden feldt leave of absence from tie State fur a term not exceeding 12 months. The resolution was concurred in. Mr. Ellis introduced a bi! to repeal the Charter of Nevada, and to provide for the payment of the city debts. Li ;wa referred io a solect committee. Senate, JAN. 27.-—After some discussion relative to the contested seats Mr. Robinson introduced a joint resolution, appropriating $788 for the relief of the Treasurer of Mevada county. It was referred to the Com. mittee on Finance. Mr. Frv introduced a bill for the suppression of gambling. Mr. Cook from the joint committee appointed to confer with Gen. Vallejo in regard to the removal of the Legis lature, reported that they had obeyec their instractiona, and laid before th: Senate a communication in writing . . . { from Gen.
