NO LOCAL TAX ON MINES,

EDITOR News - Sir:-1 have been
shown u bill drawn up by n Of our
Legislators, which he proposes intro
ducing and urging in the next Legisla-
ture, providing, by Revenue Law amend
ment, and other independent enactment,
that no county or city or town tax shall
be levied on our mines; that only a tax
for State purposes shall be exacsed Of
them, as commanded by the Constitution.
1t is my opinion that this is very just
and right measure, in oil respects and con-
sidercd from every national point Of view.
You showed, on yesterday, how by proper
legislation, at a county and city or town
and State tax aggregating 81 80 per hun
dred, (instead of 81 rs per hundred, as
now,) we can have q surplus in all our
treasures, and not call for any special
mine tax, as now required. The mines
are the substance Of the country. Take
them away, and we are-well, sage-brush,
or cayotes, or, at best and l%iveliest, Piutes,
so far as financial prosperity is concerned
in this cline. The agricultural counties,
their Representatives, cannot object to
this, on any home grounds. Let the min
ing tax be for STATE purposes ; but let US
so far recognize and encourage u chief
interest, our sole, staple dependence, in
fact, as to ask nothing from it for county
or municipal purposes. II we undertake
to say that they shall pay no taxes what

ment which cannot exist, to the propo-
sition advanced. II we can get along in
our county and towns without a mining
tax, then there is no principle favoring the
imposition Of such q burden, unless it is
the principle-often illustrated in party
politics, and always shown to be a bad
principle-of " biting ones W nose off,"
The General Government removes United
States taxation from certain character OF
personal property. Is not the precedent
thus set by Uncle Sam just in point here :
Why did the General Government make
the exemptions alluded to? Were they
not made for the very class Of reasons
that apply in support Of this billf So it
seems to US. With a surplus had in the
county treasury OF S~36,000-aS explained
in your paper on yesterday-why should
we call for o tax which ia not o revenue
asked from property so much as it is an
oppression upon and obstacle in the way
Of enterprise-Ms enterprise Of the State.
the enterprise of the Nation. We should
appreciate these things I believe that in
so doing the greatest good Of the whole
number will be manifestly sought and
fostered in the wisest manner by the pas
sage Of such a law as above indicated.
So mote 1t be! \.

DEATH OF THE DIxooRAcr.-On Tues
day evening last-November THAT the
going down Of the sun, the Democratic
party of these United States, died and
gave up the ghost! I. may, we believe,
safely DO said that at s o'clock P. NJ, on
that day. the so-called Democratic party
of this country gave It's last struggle and
vent dead. "Saints Rest, which Is in
the State Of Moo Gersey," is there no
more. Had the elections Of Tuesday last
gone for the opposition in New York and
New Jersey-or even in one of them, we
might have heard of the party again. 1t
might have made a show OF opposition
and a pretense Of doing something, at
some future time and in some place or
other; but having lost both those States,
it may fairly be said to be played out "
and dWfndled down to the little end OF
nothing. Henceforth 1t may be regarded
as a thing of the past-to be known, we
trust, no more forever - Indianapolis

EIoHT DOLLARS PER ToN.-This is the
price of freight from Sacramento to ColfaH
by the Central Pacific Railroad. Now
that is very moderate when we take into
consideration that it takes twenty hundred
to make q ton. But Mr.. Stanford's rail-
road has become so accustomed to charg-
ing eight dollars that they put this mount
upon seven hundred pounds of freight in
one instance, and twelve hundred and
seventy-fve pounds in another instance.

A CHANGE.-Old Winter, with his snowy
locks and arctic graces, has erected his
throne upon our hills, where he will hold
frigid court and frosty revel. Well, having
our "pile" Of wood-in our neighbours yard
and bacon and beans without stint, and
laying stress upon an extra shirt, we serene
ly welcome his hyperboreRn majesty. When
he shall have completely frozen us into a
rigid loyalty, we will only be too happy to
exchange his awful presence for that Of his
first born and lovely daughter-sweet, gush-
ing, tender Spring. That is to say, under u
low frosty temperature we had, last night, a
slight fall Of snow, covering the surrounding
hills from base to summit, and in spite Of the
severe cold, it is still falling.-Reese Rirer

CAUSE OF THE CATTLE PLAQUE IN Enc
LANp.-Rev. DR.. Cullen, of the English
established church. attributes the cattle
plague now prevailing there to two causes;
the pride of physical science and the ex-
~eessive attachment Of man to the beasts OF
the field. as shown in the agricultural
fairs. The Evangelical Alliance, how
ever, has another theory, and ascribes the
plague to the prevalence Of materislistic
Pantheism.
