We give place to day to eommunica-
tior from a friend at Como. We know
the writer well. and his earnest disinter-
estness and patriotic desire that this peo-
pie should occupy the sovereign capacity
of citizens of State, entities his commu-
nication to respectful consideration. For
reasons, however, stated yesterday we
dissent decidedly from the course proposed
by him. Let, at least, sufficient time
elapse to give some appearance Of con-
siderate conviction. Four months ago
the people decided unanimously for a
State Government. To-day they have
decided unanimously against it. A few
months hence, should they declare in IA
vor of it again, they would presents pic
ture of fckleness and indecision that
would justly expose them to the jeers and
SCOTS of Christendom.

4 SENSIBLE REroRT.-1n the House,
yesterday, Mr.. Calder, from the Standing
Committee ON Internal Improvements,
submitted the following report:
Mr.. Speaker-Your Committee on Intern
al improvements, dcprecating the course of
the last Legislative Assembly in giving valua-
BILE franchises without proper investigation to
parties who obtained them merely for specu-
iative purposes, and in many cases to the
detriment and against the wishes Of the pub
lie, beg leave to give notice that they cannot
report Understandings nor favora6ly on any
bill granting n franchise, unless it is accom-
panied BY petition from citizens residing in
the locality interested. or from the Board OF
County Commissioners of the county in
which the franchise is asked for, requesting
the passage of the bill, except in cases where
it is clearly shown to the committee that it is
a public necessity,
A day of reason has begun to dawn.
\ glance at the index of the existing
statute books of the Territory will con-
vince any man that it is high time that
the principle involved in the above report
should be adopted. A man can't go now
from his house to his "hoSs-lot" without
travelling on a toll-road.

There is no portion of the law regulat-
ing proceedings in civil actions, which
causes as much discussion among the COM
munity at large, throughout almost every
State, as that concerning attachments.
The interests of debtors and creditors are
directly antagunistical, and what is meat
for one is poison to the other. So it ever
has been. and probably ever will be, as
long as laws exist for the collection of
debts. An attachment law which suits
the creditor is always too stringent and
oppressive for the debtors taste, and what
is mild enough for the latter is too lax to
please the former. As the law Of the
Territory now stands, the creditors are
dissatisfied. Yesterday, in the House, Mr..
Trask presented the following petition,
praying for the passage Of a more string
ent attachment law:
To the Legislature of Nevada Territory
The undersigned, residents and persons doing
business in Nevada Territory, WOULD respect
fully represent:
That the present attachment law OF this
Territory is species Of local legislation IN
favor of particular class, debtors, and Is
often used BY that class as an engine Of fraud,
to the great injury of smother class, their
creditors; that in a country where the floating
population is so large It is in this Territory,
the true interests OF the community demand
a more stringent attachment law than is con-
sidered necessary in communities where the
population is settled and fixed; shat we have
felt the Inconvenience Of the present attach
ment law, and in many cases suffered peeu-
niary loss in consequence of the facilities It
affords dishonest debtors in defrauding their
creditors we would therefore petition your
honorable body that it be changed and made
to assimilate to the present California attach
mcat law.
Signed BY % persons.

The MINES and MINING INTERESTS
One of our Congressional delegation
writes to a friend here, who questioned
him concerning the Governments intent
to tax the mines, and says: al do not
know, with certainty, what the plan of
Gen. BeaIe is, but shall see it in a few
DAYS, as it will be printed at length with
the report of Commissioner Edwards.
We hear, now and then, an expression in
favor of raising revenue from the mines
BY taxation, but these thoughts spring
from general desire to get funds to meet
the very extraordinary expenses of the
Government imposed by the war, and not
from any purpose or wish to make spe-
ciality of the mines in taxation. Miners
now pay their income tax the same as
people engaged in any other occupation,
and this doubtless, they are willing to do
but no more. To put mining on more
unfavorable basis than any other produc-
tive industry would, it seems to me, be
unjust, and as a Government measure, de-
cidedly impolitic, for its tendency would
be to curtail product more needed now
than any other. But I have seen nor
heard no specific plan for taxing the pre-
cious metal mines"

Fortifications of the Coast.

A correspondent Of the Bulletin, writing
from Santa Barbara, January 18th, has the
following:
During the last twelve days two United
States men-of-war have been cruising off the
coasts and islands of the Santa Barbara
channel, to the great justification Of those
who could get sight to verify the nature Of
these craft. They are not steamers, and are
supposed to be looking up the first shadow of
the terrible Alabama, which, following the
deep schemes Semmes lays for the United
States authorities, always acts on Ned Nc
Gowan's plan Of foretelling his arrivals and
departures, and also his routes, in the very
opposite direction from his real intentions.
And the very Ubiquitous-as he nicknamed
himself into infamy-is as likely to be in the
Alabama as in seceSh regiment on the Mis-
sissippi, or being hung for Federal spy in
New Orleans. Probably since the days Of
Ananias and Sapphire there never was such
liar and intriguant as this very Edward
and if the Alabama IS bound to California,
and has him for pilot, he knows every rope
and strand of these Ticinities, and is to be
looked after.
The vessels alluded to are also said to have
taken possession of the Islands of San Miguel
and Santa Catalina, for the purpose Of forti-
fication, step much approved by the people
of the southern counties, and which ought to
have been done long ago. The Government
is now fortifying San Diego, most necessa-
ry thing, and equally necessary is the fortiti-
cation Of Monterey. Both places would
make splendid harbors Of refuge for our ship
ping in case of war, as also for beating off
an armed force. The bay Of Monterey can
hold hundreds of vessels, and the entrance is
as open as Costa RIGA, while fleets and ar
mics could be easily and quickly supplied
with wood, wnter and provisions--most inn
portant matters in such exigencies. How it
is the Government has so long neglected that
port, which was dismantled Of all It's guns by
JEFF Davis, when Secretary of war, is indeed
a mystery. The only officer who stuck up
for the necessity Of terrifying Monterey, from
l848 to 1850, was the present General Ord,
who was stationed there for three or four
years, and invariably advocated itssscause,

Of the loyal men who voted against the
Constitution, will, before the next Novcm-
Der election, repent in sackcloth and
ashes for what they have done.
But fear they are not capable of cxer-
cising sorrow sufficient to atone for, or
remedy the evil; vet, if their sorrow
should come soon enough, and they could
induce the present Territorial Legislature
to take up the Constitution, strike the
word mines" out of the tenth article, and
make such alterations in the schedule as
would be needed in the change of
time of submitting it to the people, and
provide for an election of officers under il
at the general election in November next,
and other matters pertaining thereto, and
then pass a law fixing the election, say
in July or August, at which time the Con-
stitution alone should be voted upon. At
the same time send forward the Constitu-
ton, as amended,to Washington, and then
induce Congress to pass an act providing
that if the electors of the Territory should
endorse the said Constitution at the said
July or August election, then that it
should be lawful and right for the Presi-
dent of the United States, by proclama-
ton, to receive us among the siSterhood
of States. In that way they could in part
atone for what they have done, and
we all still have the privilege of participa-
ting in the next Presidential election, and
so help to re-elect Old Abe.

THE TAXPAYERS TROUBLE. In the
Council yesterday, Mr.. Baldwin, of the Storey
delegation, to whom was referred the remon-
STRANGE of taxpayers of that county against
extending the time for collecting taxes, re-
ported that, " While We are satisfied that the
Assessor of Storey county has, in many in
stances, placed an exorbitant estimate upon
property assessed BY him, and the Board OF
Equalization of that county has been at fault
in emitting to reduce this improper estimate,
nevertheless rs Il great portion of the county
taxes have been paid and distributed into the
various county and Territorial funds, we deem
it inexpcdient to recommend any legislation
looking to the relief OF those whose taxesmay
vet remain unpaid. At an early day VIC pro-
pose offering such amendments to the pres
eut revenue law as will compel County As
SCISSORS and Commissioners to adopt as the
basis of Taxation just valuation ofproperty."

CYI1NpR1cAL RorARY PRINTING PREss-
Hoe ATEN!-Wilkinson' machine prints
1900 papers on both sides in an hour, and
dispenses with manual labor, it is said, to an
extent never before contemplated. Its prin-
ciple, nevertheless, is simple, consisting
merely Of the passage Of the paper, not cut
into sheets, but made in an immense web,
between cylinders ON which the types are set,
while folding and cutting machine, self-act-
ing, is ready to separate each paper as it is
printed from the web, and pass it out OF the
machine ready for publication. Those who
have seen this machine at work in London,
agree that it is as much superior to Hoes as
Hoes is to Middleton's.

killed in this war was named John Brown,
while the first rebel officer whose official duty
it became to recognize officers commanding

the negro soldier was native of Massachu-

Rumor says that Longstreet recently
made tender of an important character

the surrender of his forces. Such terms
were offered him that he declared rather
than accept them, he and his people would
fight to the last. We cannot say how
much truth there is in the story.
