RESISTANCE TO THE LAw.-We learn
that meeting of the miners of North
San Juan was appointed to come off one
day this week to obtain concert of action
in resistance to taxing mining claims
The miners of that locality, it is under
stood, are unanimously agreed in de-
termination not to pay taxes On capital
invested in mines, and intend in public
manner to exhibit their opposition to it.
II is probable, therefore, that the justice
of the thing will soon be brought to a
test in the Supreme Court. We trust the
good citizens of Nevada will with one
voice join with the miners of North San
Juan in resistance to paying taxes on
all kinds of precarious property like that
which the town is mainly made up of.

British Aggression i'm the Gulf.

There appears speck of cloud on the
political horizon not larger than mans
hand, just at this time, which must be
hailed as god-send by the Administra-
ton. Something was needed in the dis
tracted state of party to hush up for
time the wrangling of contcnding fac
tions. just the least thing would do and
in the nick and crack of time, the very
thing occurs. A muss with England
must have been the very identical thing
prayed for. 1t gives a fine chance for
the expenditure Of superabundance of
valor at convenient distance, and the
Administration prints will not fail to
make use of it. They will froth after
the manner of "ffty-four forty" for a
time and after the same style collapse
10 due time. The idea of war with Great
Britain in the present state of the E1-
chequer is too solemn to be ridiculous,
and to make the idea still more mourn
full we have only to bring up in review
our country's gallant attempt to exter-
inmate the Mormons-a trifing affair, it
is true, involving only twentyfour mil
lions Of dollars already with clear
opening fol liberal additions to that sum.
England mustn't bully us. No, indeed
We are not afraid of the British taking
Washington this time and robbing our
Treasury. Having no money to defend
we can devote the entire attention of
our arms to the subjugation of the trifing
little island that woman rules-and
we'll do it. Spite of Broderick we'll
issue Treasury notes till ye can't rest.
They'll pay the militia-the democratic
militia that are teetotally opposed to
banks and their internal rags, and swear
by General jackson because he slaught-
cred the monster U. S. Bank. We'd
like to see anybody who is opposed to
wiping out the British Empire just now.
We mean to fight her we mean to
scare her anyhow. and if either of us
weaken we'll just do as we did in the
Oregon boundry afair-we'll have blood
from somebody sure. If we don't get it
out of the British lion, we'll charge on a
flock of Spanish merino sheep and revel
on mutton and appropriate the pasture.
By the gods, we will have blood!

JACK PowERs.-A correspondent Of

San Luis Obispo county, you will re-
member, is alleged to have been the
stamping ground" ofthe notorious Jack
QRers, and the scene of many a rob-
berry and murder perpetrated by the band
of outlaws of which he is said to have
been the leader. So universal among
the inhabitants Is the belief in his guilt,
that they have offered $4,000 for his
arrest, and have formed themselves into
vigilance committee to aid in exter-
minating the hordes of robbers who in
fest their country. 1t appears that they
had reason to believe that Jack would
be down upon the steamer, and some
fifty of the committee, well armed, were
waiting upon the beach to give him a
warm reception. Everything was pre-
pared to hang Jack "as high as Haman."
The feeling against him is very bitter,
and he will stand no show of escape if
ever he falls into their clutches.

the latter with brother of Carroll, on

inflicted blows upon him but for the in
terposition of third parties. The two
were separated when Hatfield drew a
revolver and struck Carroll over the
head. On their being separated the
second time Hatfield threw tae revolver
at his adversary. 1t struck the side
walk and discharged, the ball entering
Carroll in vital part, killing him in
stantly. Hatfield gave himself up i'm
mediately, and will appear at an exam

The Frazer River Fever.

The Frazer River Fever.
1t is impossible to determine the pre-
else effect Of the excitable news we are
constantly receiving from Frazer River.
That it will have temporary inference
to depreciate the value of property to
some extent at least in this State is quite
certain. Indeed already sensible d.
minution in the price of mining claims
is to be observed. A large number of
miners have been affected with the ep-
idemic requiring higher latitude to
cure, and sold their claims for half, and
even less than half, their estimated
value, the claims paying as well, if not
better than ever.
We have heard of instances where
interests in fine paying diggings have
been offered for FIVE hundred dollars,
that are as well worth now to all appear
ances two thousand dollars as they were
last winter when they would command
The latter sum. Nor are instances of
this kind unfrequent. The miners are
everywhere keenly alive to every re-
port from the far North. The demand
for extravagant news from the newly
discovered gold fields is great, and we
discover remarkable disposition on the
part of the public press to feed it. 1t is
true most of the editorials that have ap-
peared enjoin. caution, and warn miners
that the reports coming from Frazer are
to be taken with some grains of allow
ance. But the reports themselves ap
pearing in the same columns overshadow
editorial admonitions. Every one who
reads the thousand and one letters of
correspondents, anonymous and other
wise, considers himself as capable of
judging of the new gold region as the
conductor of a newspaper who has never
been there, and perhaps he is.
For our own part we are induced to
believe there is gold on Frazer River,
and that too in considerable quantities,
and, perhaps, it would not be an i'm
polite move for those who see no fair
prospect ahead in California, to emf
CRATE there after being thoroughly sat
isfed on good evidence of superior
chances presenting themselves in the
British mines. But the step should be
well considered first, and in no case
should paying claim be abandoned for
an uncertainty in hyperborean eli
mate. There are hardships enough en-
countered by the miner here under IA
vore1 skies, without seeking an accumu-
lation of them in higher latitudes and
under a foreign flag. Only those who
seem pressed by fate to tempt the dan
gers and difficulties should try their
fortunes in the new Ell Dorado, and
these from all accounts need not make
a move in that direction till about the
first of August. That is early enough
at any rate, and by waiting till that time
we may obtain such reliable information
as to Danish all idea of emigrating.

EOreien Emipratinn.

We notice some time since the fact that
there was a falling off in the emigration
to this country from various quarters, cs-
pecially from the continent of Europe. and
gave the reasons for this decrease. We
have since learned that the average of
capital brought by the emigrants has much
lncreased-the proportion ofthose arriving
IN comfortable pecuniary circumstances
being much larger than in former years. 49,
1t is impossible TO ascertain all the cash
resources Of the emigran.s, as many of
them studiously conceal their treasure.-
Thus on ono occasion, the total report of
capital among the passengers by single
ship was S32, 500, but, more thorough
investigation having been called for in
consequences Of circumstances connected
with an inIbecile emigrant, the amount
actually counted exceeded SS0O,OOO and
even this was more or less below the true
total. The passengers recently arrived by
The Josephine from Antwerp, numbering
about 2G0, brought, it is ascertaned some
thing over half million dollars and
enough is known to warrant the assertion
that, while the hard times have dimin sh-
ed the number of emigrants from certain
districts, they have given US far more
prosperous and thrifty class than have
been landed in some former seasons.
