A SEII.-A Chinaman, representing him
self as a merchant from Downieyille, visited,
on Thursday last various stores in town, and
selected about $1,000 worth of goods which
he had packed up immediately-one firm work
ing until late on Thursday night, in order TO
have the goods ready for the Celestial's mule
team, which, he said, would start out early on
the next morning. Friday morning came, but
the purchaser did not make his appearance,
and the disconsolate victims, after making un-
availing inquiries for the merchant from Dow
melville, came TO the conclusion that they had
been badly sold. The following is a list of the
purchases made " Parker & Perkins $500 :;
Marks & Co.. $500; Raymon, $50; Gund-
Zach, 5000; Bloch, $500 While Marks &
Co. were packing the goods, Mr. Chinaman
selected a coat aud pair of boots from the lot,
and put them on remarking that it was "welly
cold, John"
CHINESE Row.-About eleven o'clock on
Thursday last, desperate fight occurred 10
Chinatown in which Mr.. John German, spe-
eaal policeman, was dangerously wounded in
the right side, by a knife in the hands of a
Chinaman, and ten or twelve Cinnamon more
or less injured, some of them, it is thought, fa-
tally. The difficulty, as near as we can ascer.
tain, originated in a gambling house. A num-
Der of Chnamen from Stringtown, having lost
all their money were informed hv the gamblers
that they had been swindled. About fifty
Cinnamon were engaged in the fight, using
knives, pistols and rocks. A number of white
men were present at the commencement of the
row, but skcdadded when the shooting COM
menced.

County Financial Matters.

During the present sitting OF the Board Of
Supervisors, the rate of taxation for the county
will be fixed. In this connection it is well TO
review the past as criterion for the future.
The taxation Of last year, both State and
county, was fixed at S237 on the 500 worth
OF taxable property, to which was added fifteen
cents, making the whole tax 90 the 800 worth
of property S252 The State tax, last year
was g. cents on the 800 worth of property
this year it will probably be at least s. cents.
Under the county taxes Of last year, with an
ssessment so detective that little more than
half Of the property Of the county was reached,
We reduced our county debt $4,000, which
left al Indebtedness still standing of about
S98,000-not reckoning the railroad bonds Of
Sl34000 already issued, and $4,000 still to
issue under law extending Tie time for CON-
pleting the road, introduced lately into the
Assembly by DR.. Moore. Had our assessment,
last year, been properly made, our debt Of
5000 would bave been reduced, at least,
$4,000 more, so that By proper assessment
this year, which We are pretty sure to have,
we will be able TO find property to the amount
of over 81 100000, aud thus the Supervisors
will be enabled to reduce the county taxation.
and still be able to meet all expenditures, and
further reduce the debt of the county. The
expenditures of last year were $4,000 less
than in 1861, and this year there is no reason
why they should exceed those of 1862. The
Supervisors, in thus reducing the county tax,
which they can safely do on the hypothesis
that we have over S4,000,000 worth of tax
able property in the county, the people, who
are now so tax ridden, will not feel, so heavily,
the increase of the State taxes, and will, at the
same time, be diminishing their own county
debt.
We can reduce the county tax at least
% cents on the 500, and then do better than
we did last year in reducing our debt, on full
assessment Of the county property, with the
new facilities for reaching individuals who
have hitherto escaped all taxation. With this
reduction, the county tax need not be over
Sl.57 on the 500 worth Of property.

and up to the time of starting there had been
no snow of any consequence. But little was
doing in the mines. Mr.. Thompson had drift
ed iato the side bill some 20 feet, and was
confident Of striking it rich. The excitement
about Boise continued TO rage, and parties
were leaving daily for the new diggings. The
trail between the Dalles and Canyon City is in
q bad condition, and it is with the utmost
difficulty that animals are brought through.
The miners. as general thing, have abundant
supplies for the winter. and as c consequence
the traders complain of dull times.
