1t will be observed that Storey county
and Virginia City together W half a mil
lion of dollars.
For this indebtedness Of the county it is
improbable-and we speak from a near
examination of the subject - that the
county has had a 100000 worth of
benefit. But here IS the debt. The case
is as it is. How meet the questions that
arise upon it: Or, rather, what are those
questions? In the first place: it is not
right that every interest Of the county
should be brought under the hammer Of
the holders of this Indebtedness. They
never paid over IS cents per dollar-face
for it; and they can afford to wait on the
people who remain here,-taking their
pay in very gradual installments. There
are men to-day running about talking Of
"our interests" with all imaginable words
of impartial but earnest concern, who
have $4,000 and $50, 900 worth of county
debt evidence in their pockets, which they
purchased at 80 to 80 cents, and for the
immediate par payment Of which they now
call upon the Legislature to transfer the
Building Fund OF the county; retain and
raise the tax on mines, cut off all dis
pensable, though they be ever so much
needed expenditures, for "Eeonomy's"
sake,-that economy which will give so
and so cts. per annum for /" our Interest,""
Having the name Of every owner Of every
particle of city and county. indebtedness,
we readily understand when the character
of motive for economy exists as indi-
Gated above. The man who paid As cents
for county debt-evidence will realize a
very handsome interest if he is paid up
three or four years hence. 1t is valuable
to have these men deeply concerned in
our g~ood-theSe public spirited men. As
long as they arc county and city creditors
they will feel and manifest this concern
We will look over and will report late
payments made in Virginia City, in our
next issue. We already know them to
be rery iRteresting.

A SCRAP FOR CRAPEAU.-The Sacra-
mento Union, Of Monday, contained the
Schenk- Wade resolutions, on Mexican
affairs, introduced into both Houses Of
Congress on the 18th. They read
Re,olred, by the Senate and House Of Rep
%resentatives Of the United States Of America,
in Congress assembled: First-That VIC con-
template the present condition Of affairs in
the Republic Of Mexico with the most pro-
found solicitude. S~econd-That the attempt
to subject one Of the republican governments
Of this continent by a foreign Power and to
establish on its ruins a monarchy sustained
solely BY European bayonets, Is opposed to
the declared policy Of the United States Gov
eminent, offensive to our people and con-
trary to the spirit Of our institutions.
Resoired, That the President Of the United
States be requested to take such steps con-
corning this grave matter as will vindieate
the recognized policy, honor and interests OF
the Government.

Should next-door neighbors strangers be,
And keep spite in their mind,
When, just by joining hand in hand,
They'll peace and plenty find.
Why care for folks across the seas
To all but interest blind, H
Who scoff and sheer at you as serfs
All to their chains resigned:
Is Britain's glory any boast
To you, or is enshrined
Within your heart her policy
Which has been aught but kind:
Do yon wish kings to reign DER you-
Your future state defined
As but a royal appanage
BY foreign courts aligned:
Away with despots, kings, and all
The grovelling courtier-kind,
This continents n sacred fame,
Where Freedom is enshrined
Be one of us, we re one at heart,
The continents destined
To bear one fag-and only one
Shall soon float On the wind.

E THEM ALONE.

The Sacramento Union, at the eonclu-
sion Of a very able article on u mining
wants-nega,ively speaking, makes some
remarks which we heartily endorse. There
is a Sc, Of shallow Drained demagogues
who are always trying to make a raise
BY suggesting and urging interfsring leg
isla,ion in regard to mines. Let the
miners and their tenure and rules remain
as they are.-,hat's the true doctrine, and
the miners know it. All these meddle-
some Legislative schemes are humbug-or
rascality in disguise. Hear how the Sac
ramento Union puts it:
"The mining community simply ask the
National Government to be let alone. 1t be-
lievcs that policy was the wisest in the past
and will be the most profitable for the whole
country in the future. 1t even distrustS the
proposition to establish n Mining Bureau at
Washington, for it is extremely probable that
the officers Of that Bureau-who may be
Eastern politicians as ignorant Of mining as
Senator Sherman himself-would try to con-
vince Congress Of their usefulness by origi-
mating and advocating meddleSome and in.
furious schemes. They have a Commissioner
Of Agriculture at Washington who gets an
awkward blessing from every agricultural
journal in the land, and whose only apparent
business is to compile notes Of crops and dis
tribute seeds. A Commissioner Of Mines, il
not a practical miner, might employ himself
for a time in collecting specimens for a caoi;
net and arranging the statistics OF mineral
production, but we might well dread his an
nual reports, which, however unwise, would
carry with them the weight Of official author
ity. II the General Government would grant
its abstract title to the mineral lands Of Cali
fornia to the State, and pursue the same
policy touord other mining regions as soon
as they are covered by State Governments,
we believe it would avoid a great deal Of pro-
spective trouble, lose nothing in the way Of
revenue, give additional security to miners,
and close the present opening for mischief Of
which ignorant and conceded Legislators,
three thousand miles away, are persistently
trying to avail themselves"
