\ RArrLIyG AMONG TIE Dry BoNEs.-Our usu-
ally quiet and well-behaved community has been
in perfect buzz of excitement during the past
few days over Il communication which appeared
in the san Francisco Examiner of the 10th in re-
laton to the collection Of Foreign Miners Ii
censc. 1t is over the signature Of - Claude y is
wholesale impeachment of the integrity of State
Controllers and Tax Collectors in general and of
Trinity county Collectors in particular. We
shall not even print extracts from the letter now,
understand that the State Controller has
published a letter in defense of his position, and
the copy of the Union containing it has not yet
reached here. If the abuses alleged are in prac-
tce, then we shall conclude that it is never too
late to learn Taxpayers acknowledge that they
have perhaps learned why Foreign Miners license
is collected from none but Chinese; why every
attempt to amend the law for the better has been
defeated why the receipts are not issued and
signed as others are why men can afford to
having =; WHY Collectors can employ deputies
and keep animals on the trfing per centage ac-
cruing from the sale of two, three or four hund-
red licenses monthly. One who has been = be
hind the scenes =" should be good authority
We have ascertained who q Claude IS the his
tory of his letter, and of what is to come We
shall devote portion of the space allowed in
our next issue to extracts from the letter in ques
ton, and State Controller Oulton's S reply.

ORGANIZING CoSGREss.-There is much specu-
Iation touching the probability of the members
from the reconstructed States taking their seats
at the outset, and participating in the reorganiza-
tion of Congress. A Washington letter to the
New York Erening Post says The Clerk of the
House, by law, holds over till the new House
elects Speaker, and it is his duty to prepare an
official list of members. He calls this roll when
the House meets, and when the election of
Speaker takes place he this roll. Great
power is conferred upon the Clerk, but it could
not be otherwise. Mr.. Mcpherson has informed
his friends. without reservation, that he will not
place upon the official list of members any per-
son claiming to be elected from a State that has
been in rebellion against the Government To
do differently would be to decide, himself one of
the most important questions before Congress :;
for to let in eighty Southern members at the out
set to vote upon the subject of their own recog-
milton, would end the controversy in their favor
at once.
SEvERE.-Somc Englishman is collecting mon

proprateness in giving her illustrated Bible
There must be already plenty of painful pictures
burnt in the Southern leaders memory without
reminding him of Andersonvlle by illustrating
the plague of lice, or appending any drawing to
the text . that thy foot may be dipped in the
blood of thine enemies, and the tongues of thy
dogs may be red through the same"

ion we have read for many day.

to hear that Geo Hulme succeeded in organizing

able and proper that the young people who enjoy

The following Arrangement has been settled on

ence of intoxicating liquors, and if commit
ted, then the costs to be levied upon the liquor
sellers and added to the amount of their licen-
ses. We have yet to hear that the law has been
regarded anywhere in the State.
