The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-14

LoUIsIANA.--The last Pony brings intel
ligence that the Louisiana Convention has
passed secession ordinance. The State,
however, Is not out Of the Union yet, nor
can it be considered out until Louisiana
sugar imported into other States is subject
ed to duty of twenty-four pen. cent, the
same as though 1t was imported from Cuba
When the Louisiana sugar planters have to
compete on equal terms with those Of Cuba.
they will begin to appreciate the advanta-
ges of the Uuion and we shall be conside-
rably mistaken IL there is not reaction In
that State in less than six months As long,
however, as the Government levies pro-
tective tariff on sugar for the benefit OF
Louisiana, that State cannot complain If
tw0o or three men of war are stationed at
the mouth Of the Mississippi to. collect the
revenue.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-14
COUNTY TAXATION.

The Transcript Of this morning, gives a
table showing the amount Of delinquent tax
es In this county for each of the past three
years, and the amount erased from the roll
each year by the Board Of Equalization.
The total amount erased in the three years,
it appears, was 1878; this is very large
sum, but there is no probability that one
dollar of IL could have been collected un-
der our present revenue law. In 1859, the
Board erased 2457 from the roll Of 1858,
in consequence of decision of the Supreme
Court, that money invested In mining claims
could not be taxed 1t was mostlytaxes on
Investments in mining claims that were
erased that year. In 1860, the Board erased
$7,2ll from the roll Of the year previous.
The bulk Of this was one piece Of property
the Omega Ditch-whlch was listed by
the Assessor without seeing the owners. In
consequence of defect In the description
no one would bid on the property when Of
fered for sale; but the owners appeared be-
fore the Board, in August last, and con-
eented to have SIS, 900 added to the assessed
value of the property for 1860, on condition
that II should be erased from the delinquent
list Of the previous year.
There will be every year more or less de-
linquent taxes; but If the bill now before
the Legislature-turning the delinquent
list over to the District Attorney, to be
collected by civil suits passed, we be-
lieve that three. fourths Of the delinquent
taxes Of 1860 can be collected during the
next few months.
We do not agree with the Transcript,
however, that the passage of the bill now
before the Legislature would do away with
the necessity of an additional tax for the
INDECENT sick fund There is now some
$16,5O0 Of outstanding warrants drawn on
that fund, and It Is desirable that the debt
should be paid of. The Board should either
be authorized to levy an additional tax Of
five or ten cents on the hundred dollars, or
elso allowed to appropriate portion oil the
surplus in the special fund, for hospital pur-
purposes 1t is not proposed to increase
the rate of taxation, as the writer In the
Transcript supposes. On the contrary, the
rate Of taxation will be fifteen or twenty
cents less on the hundred dollars hereafter,
than it has been for the past three years;
bat the object is to authorize the Superyi-
sors TO appropriate the present revenue in
such manner as 10 gradually extngulsh
the county debt.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-14

MONTGoMERY's SPEEcH.-Zack Montgom-
cry OF Sutter, spoke for three hours In the
Assembly, on Monday last, in opposition to
the Union resolutions. 1t was the most rad
icaI secession speech ever made 10 the Cali
fornia Legislature. In answer to aqnestion
asked by Conness, be said he believed South
Carolina was justified 10 seceeding from the
Union, for present grievances, and be hoped
she would never return until all her cOnsti-
tutional rights were guaranteed. He did
not define exactly what be meant by con-
stitutional rights, but from the tenor Of bis
speech be evidently meant that all nation
al matters should be conducted TO exactly
suit the interests, whims and prejudices OF
South Carolina, one of the least of which
would be to authorize that State to name
the Presidents and Vice Presidents for all
