Foreisn Miners License Tax.

BY reference to communication signed
''Tax Payer,'' it will be seen that he favors
the collection of the foreign miners tax, to
the full extent of the law, and we see no rea-
son why the county and State should neglect
to avail themselves of their legitimate reve-
nue.. This county needs all the revenue it is
entitled to at present, to discharge her in
debtedness, which is now being reduced at a
commendable rate. Once free from the tram
mels Of debt, and the county can go on her
way rejoicing, with the burden Of taxation
lghtened. The views of Tax Payer arc
correct and well taken under the law of 1858,
but it will be seen the following act amenda-
tory of the act to which he refers, gives
foreigners who have declared their intentions
to become citizens of the United States, the
full and unrestricted privilege Of working the
mines. Although heretofore unler the law
persons vino had declared their mention to
become citizens, were still subject 70 the for
eign miners tax, we believe it has not been
collected from this class Of miners. The fol-
lowing is the amaudatory act referred to:
The pierepresented IN Ssnate ami Is
sena5ig do enact as yfoikoacs
Section ist Section one of an act to pro-
vide for the protection OF Foreigners, and to
define their liabilities and privileges. passed
March 30, 1888, is hereby amended so as to
read as follows: No person not being cti-
zen of the United States or who shall not
have declared his intention to become such,
prior to the passage of this act, California
Indians excepted,) shall be allowed to take
gold from the mines of this State unless he
shall have license therefor as hereinafter
provided
1t will be seen that foreigners who declared
their intention to become citizens priyious to
the passage of the above act are exempt from
the foreign miners tax, while it does not cx-
empt those who may hereafter declare such
intention. legislative discrimination be-
tween tweedledum and tweedledee, the pulley
of which may be discerned by some. All who
are not citizens, in our estimation, should con-
tribute towards defraying the expenses of the
government which gives them the privilege Of
extracting the precious metals from the mines.
But the egsla ture have determined that a
portion Of them are exempt, although in
other respects they are not citizens.

Pluruag Cnunfr

Look Our Up THERE We are informed
from reliable source, that emissaries from
the Broderick faction, are now, or will soon
be canyassing this new county Tor the pur-
pose of securing the appointment of factional
delegates to the State Convention. Their ex-
penses to and from the convention arc to be
paid by the factions bank, for which they are
to support those who would have deprived the
people of all participation in the Senatorial
election. We caution the democracy of Plu-
mas against their Vaccinations. that they
may be on their guard. We would suggest
that the Democracy of Plumas call their con-
vention during the session of the Circuit
Court for that county, if an earlier day should
not be deemed necessary The Circuit Court
will commence its session for that county on
the Sd Monday of June next.

WHY Don't he do IL

b. mere accident a day or two since, VIC fell
upon an old paper containing the card OF Her
man Doyle, Esq, who was charged by Messrs
Hall and Iivermore, Senators from III Dorado
County, with having offered them a bribe to
vote for the Postponement Of Ale Senatorial
election, CT to resign their seats in the State
Senate, and also to exert their influence to
secure the cooperation of the Ell Dorado del
egateS in the Assembly" If we remember
the sum said to be offered was so 900. We
suppose the statement Of these Hon Senators
was made under the solemnity Of their official
oaths, and yet there has been no effort made
to bring the offender to the punishment the
crime merits. Mr. Doyle published card in
answer to the charge and asking investigations
In that card he says:
Honor demands at the hands Of those Sen
ators that it should be Investigated Doubt
less they viii require it; until then, | ask an
impartial public to suspend their Judgment
hear the facts--and then decide between me
and my accusers You can then determine
whether am that guilty man, reeking with
crime. and whether others pass unscathed the
ordeal that awaits thru II this investiga-
ton is not demanded by the Senators, l will
then give the world the facts lis they are
Then judge between us
The legislature have adjourned without
investigating the matter, and they are now
among their constituents. doubtless using
their influence for the futherance of the in
terests of the faction to which they belong.
1t has undoubtedly been fairly demonstrated
that the Hon. Senators will not demand an in
vestigation, and it now devolves up on Mr. D.
to redeem his promise to ian impartial public
and give them 1.-THE facts as they are.' Why
don't he do it

Snob Affairs

The Snobs of San Francisco have recently
been engaged in a couple Of lsgraceful and
bloody affairs, in order to establish their
standing as honorable Snobs. On the l9th
a meeting took place between Hon Christie
pher Dowdigan of San Fraeisco, and Hon
James Hawkins of Tuolumnc The Hon
Christopher Dowdigan, late doorkeeper Of the
Senate, received a flesh wound in the arm,
which enabled those in attendance, to declare
the belligeTent honorable Snobs, and to retire
from the field with great glory to Snobdom
The second affair occurred at the race
cour Sc on Sunday last, between the Lon. Mr..
Hunt of the legal profession. Cause-a diff
Guilty at the Theatre, originating in the fact
that Mr.. Hunts leg occupied chair which Mr.
Hubert was desirous of apprOpriating to his
own use At the third fire, Mr. Hunt was
wounded in the abdomen, and expired few
hours after. He called his antagonist to him,
admitted himself to blame, and Mr. Hubert
left the ground in tears Had they been un-
der the influence Of such noble and honorable
feelings when they met, they would have soon
ascertained, that they were disagreeing about
a trife that q little manly feeling would have
removed, and the life of fellow man would
have been saved. But such an exhibition
would have betrayed weakness, and been
gross violation of the code snob. Oh insati-
ate Snobbery to thy false name has Califor
MIA sacrificed hecatomb
Here is another cuso In the Court Of
Sessions of Placer County recently, man
named Collins was tried on an Indictment
found under the Statute against duelling.
The following challenge was read in evidence.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty
AUBURN, April "a, 1854.

This man may have erred trifc in the man
ner of commencing the affair; but he is correct
in principle and entitled to the distinguished
consideration of all honorable gentlemen

of noble sires," had meeting for the purpose
of satisfying wounded honor. Small swords
were selected as the weapons, but one of them

Approaching Conventions.

LIS a fact pretty we'll understood that the
calling of the State Convention is to be put off
until the emissaries Of those political trick
sters who have squandered the peoples treas
ure and disgraced the State, have scattered
themselves throughout the State for the pur-
pose Of influencing the county conventions, to
send factional delegates to the State Conven-
ton, who will proceed to select candidates for
Congress from the servle followers of Mr..
Broderick. 1t is well understood that all the
officers hereafter to be chosen are to be taken
from among his adherents Governor Bigler
is designed to succeed Senator Weller. The
next State officers are to be parcelled out to
the hungry horde of corrupt political aspi-
rants, who have devoted the whole time of the
late session in endeavoring to deprive the peo-
pie of voice in the Senatorial election
Particular attention is to be paid to the noun
tain counties, and every effort will be made to
slip in one or more factional delegates Par
ticularly in Plumas County, will the attempt
be made to elect Broderick delegates We are
ick faction are about making their way into
Plumas for the purpose Of being returned as
Delegates to the State Convention We would
warn the Democracy of Plumas to be on their
guard-let it be well understood if the
people choose to send Broderick delegates, so
mote it be. fthey do not, it behooves them
to look well to their primary meetings and to
their County Convention, or they will them
selves misrepresented below, and candidates
presented who are the servile followers of q
corrupt faction, and upon whom the democra-
cy can never unite fair expression of the
people will present honest, capable and
faithful candidates, who will reject honor
upon the State they represent But if they
do not, they will be called upon to vote for the
servile slaves of faction who would disfran-
chise them-aud whom it would be doing
Gods service to defeat.

He mentions several who are making $40 and

fourths pouuds was taken cut a day or two
since, near Evansville. The vicinity in which
this was found, is celebrated for its coarse
gold We have heretofore been permitted to
ezamine pieces of gold taken from that vicin

the proceeds Of the wet season have built up

they are dependent upon the wet season %

work along the ravines. We hope soou to
