Throdgi, in sis Days.

One OF the most important items we have
CLEANED fsom our exchanges for long time
is the proposition made by Jas. Haworth,
President OF the California Stage Company
to enter into contract with the Govern
ment to run daily Overland Mail between
Sacramento and St. Louis for 81 100000
per year, and he further says be woild be
willing to have the schedule time placed at
fourteen days fibm city 10 city. He says;
10 addition, that he wofld also contract to
run d horse expreas between those two points
carrying letters ty weight, and make the
time regularly in six da5s.
This is startling proposition, but those
who know the man are assured that what he
PROPOSES be will accomplish. ifhe can get
the contract. This ia one Of the most, If not
the most important subject ever mooted in
California. 1t is second only to the Pacific
Railroad in Importance.
The Red bluff Beacon recomti.nds st the
Legislature, as soon as it meets, pass con-
current resolutions requesting Congrers to
contract with Mr.. Hawortb, for the transi
portatioH OF mail matter overland. by any
route he may select, upon the terms said to
Eave beet proposed by him.

A KING For IRELAND !

Tie Duke of Magenta. Marshal McMahoH
Of tie French army, has been named for the
kingship Of ireland. The Bishop of Orleans
asks very inuocently, ii recent charge to
his clergy "who can say that Ireland
would not prefer to the sceptre which oppres.
ees her, the sword Of one OF her bravest SOL
diersf the defendant of one of her ancient
kings" The London Examiner, refetting
to this allusion, says:
"Overtures have actrally beef made to
the Marshal on the part Of Ireland. Under
pretense OF requesting bis autograph, the
Mayoress Of Limerick has sounded his in
tentions and, what is more significant.
Marshal Mcmahon in his answer passes over
in silence the lady's marked all1sion to bis
blood and claims. 1t Is evident that be
:" bdes his time" and we can conceive bis
vexation at the Bishops premature disclo-
rure."
Stranger things than this would bef hare
happened in the world history. Should the
present belltierent attitude Of France and
England, result in an open rupture, we
know Of nothing more likely to happen than
the event foreshadowed abovs.

THE NEVADA NATIONAL.

There is evidence that the adult slave
population OF the state Of Missouti Is some
what decreasing. This Is attributed by som.
Of the Black Republican Organs Of the coun.
try to the abatement Of tie pro-.lavery sen
timent of the people, to the fears OF slave
holders for the secutity OF their property
and to the triumph uf the exotic free soil
and anti-slaveFy party about st. Louis
whose population has been most rapidly in
creased by emigration from the New Eng
land States. The kissotti farmers are part.

that they regard their pecuniary interest

Amendments to the Constitution.

Quite a number Of amendments have
already been proposed to the Constitu-
ton by different members Of the Legis-
lature new III session, and we hear that
others are to be introduced. Several
Of these amendments commend them
selves to the public judgment, and for
some OF them there is a pressing neces-
ity. Yet under the provisions of the
Constitution none Of them can be made
effective for two or three years, as they
have to be passed upon by two success
i've legislatures, and then be submit
ted to vote Of the People
The shorter process would be to call
a Convention to revise the Constitution,
and this course, we think, would ere
this, have been proposed, bat for two
considerations. One is, fear of the ex-
pense i'll the present condition Of the
State finances; and the other, an appre-
hension that the opportunity might be
improved by the State Assumptionists
to engrait their project upon the Con
stitution, or at least open the door for
the creation Of q great State debt
We think this apprehension a ground
less one. The State ASSUMPTION is
killed SO dead, that no spark Of vitality
can ever be re-kindIed in it.
But the question of expense is not so
easily met. Although under the man
agement Of our present State Officers.
the public liabilities are rapidly dimin-
ishing and the expenditures brought
within the revenues Of the State, vet
the People. might object to spending
$25, 200, or $4,000 upon Constitn-
tional Convention in these hard times.
Why not, therefore, if, as we think,
the necessity for amending the Consti-
tuition in several respects be an urgent
one, provide for calling Convention.
the members Of which shall receive no
pay for their services? They could
meet at Madison-or Milwaukee if thew
prefered-in May, or June: get through
their work in two, three, Oh four weeks:
and submit the result Of their labors to
the People at the General Election next
Fall. Then, il adopted, the Amend
ments could go into effect on the LIST
day of January following. In this way
we should save two years time, without
putting the People to any unnecessary
expense. MI Sentinel. Amen,

The New Tax Law.

Among al of the oppressive acts Of
the Legislature Of the State Of Wiscon-
sin, there are none SO manileatly just
and injurious in its effects as that por-
ton of Chap. Is of the Revised Stat
utes, relating to the collection Of taxes
In the populous portions Of the State,
It's infu ,nce may not be felt; but IL the
new counties, where the lands are most
" owned by non-rcsidents, it will st,'ike
a deadly blow to the credit and pros
perlty of the counties. La the county
Of W God, for instance, three -fourths Of
Ill the taxes are, or should be paid by
non-residents The town treasurcrs
have no power to collect taxes from
non-residents, unless they voluntarily
pay the same. At the time appointed
for the town treasurcrs to make their
returns, the tax lists 50 into the hands
Of the county treasurer, and there re-
main for three years without further &C
ton, except that the county charges %
per cent. interest on all taxes not paid
by the first Monday in April Of each
wear The county treasurer has no
power to collect the taxes; he cannot
sell the lands; his hands and the hands
of the county are completely tied; he
can only sit quietly in his Office for Die
term of three years, waiting for each in
dividual land owner to make up his mind
whether he can we'll spare the money
to pay his taxes or not. The 25 per
cent. interest charged is not sufficient
to induce any one to pay; for in most
of the new counties, money readily
commands higher rates.
Nor is this All. The law further pro
viles that, In. case any county does not
pay the whole amount of State tax
charged against such county within
thirty days after the time appointed by
law for such payment, the State treas
urer shall charge such delinquent coun-
ty 25 per cent. interest per annum upon
the whole amount unpaid.
The whole law, rendered into plain
English, amounts to this: It says to
the real estate owners, ''Y on need not
pay your taxes for three years; we will
give you credit for that length Of time,
at less rates Of interest than money is
actually worth to YOU It says to the
towns, "Y on shall not collect your state,
county, town, school and road taxes,
except so much thereof as is charged
against personal property and resident
land-holder; the nonresident must have
three years time, bat mind yoet pay
the full dnooapat Of State ta,r charged
against yoor toacn." 1t says to the
counties, "You shall collect no taxes
whatever for the term Of three years
except you may receive what is volun-
tarily offered; but if you do not pay the
whole amount charged against you by
the State, you shall pay a fine equal tc
one-fourth Of your State tax"
Under the old law the counties could
always make their funds available; i
they had not the money for their taxes
they had tax certificates, which formed
q currency far superior to deprecated
county orders. The injurious effects Of
this ill-advised Legislation are already
being felt in one short week. The
Town Treasurers are required to make
