DROPPED THE SUBJECT.

Our neighbor, the Uaion, has very sensi-
bly, concluded to abandon the agitation Of
the greenback question. 1t believes the
introduction of National Banks to be the
proper remedy for the present scarcity Of
the circulating medium. That he viii be
able to induce capitalists to venture upon
that experiment, we very strongly doubt.
We learn that those who at one time pro-
posed the experiment in California, after
mature elaboration and investigation,
abandoned the idea as impracticable. If
monied men can be convinced that the
National Banking system can be made
profitable in this State, nothing is more
certain than that it will be established.
Our neighbor is pretty heavy on financial
argument, and the hesitation Of bankers
70 mount his hobby, gives him splendid
opportunity to spread himself. p

The suit of E. F. Stewart VS.. Steamer
Washoe, for twenty thousand dollars
damages for personal injuries received at
the time of the explosion of that steamer,
was before the Fourth District Court this
morning. A motion for a change OF
uenue was overruled, and demurrer to
the complaint argued and submitted.
Eleven men were arrested by the Police
yesterday morning, on board the Great
Republic without permission of the Cap
tain. On Friday, George N. Daggett, q
Boston boy who has been eight years q
sailor, was seen hanging over the side OF
the Great Republic by rope, and was
taken off by boatman. He is so injured
that he cannot stand erect, as he alleges by
the horrible cruel treatment on board, and
is probably crippled for life. The matter
will come before the Courts, and if half
the statements made BY the sailors are
true the condition of affairs on board dur

be made from memory, but he don't
think the matter worth recording. He
says that in one place there is $1,000,
not accounted for, in another bride Of
$4,000 was offered a member If he would
effect sale, which was aftefward made
BY another. But he does not tell that on
smother page Of the same book, the 81 900
is fully accounted for, and that the matter
OF bribe was all explained away by the
testimony of three or four witnesses.
Nor can he see how property, which was
worth $4,000 two years ago, is not worth
one-sixth of the money o.day, He don't
report these little matters of fact r, cor.s
nection with his broad insinuations of
fraud by the old Board, yet he saws he
wishes to cast no insinuation on any one.
In this association he shows about as rood
faith as he does in taking up two-thirds Of
his report, in lauding and showing the
projections Of the present Board, and then
closing up the whole matter by recon.
mendinR that bill bepassed Immediately,
recognizing the schools Of the county.
This is surely worth 1920. ooh, con-
sistency, thou art jewel J"
Accompanying this sage report are some
statements in whichShe may be more ex-
plicit, at least they should corroberate the
body of the report. Giving no dates at
all, he says the old Board spent $36.06T
05-not saying whether in one year or ten.
Then, for some time not stated, TIL NC.
tober Both, the new Board spent 81 ,064
26. (They are put close together for the
sake Of efect.) Then, from October 30th
til! February l4th, during which time
only three monthly payments would fall
due, he has some items among others are
salaries for three months, $6,l98, which
is $2,066 per month. Now, janitors
salaries are not included, for they form a
separate item. So this is supposed to be
paid to the teachers-but is it On in
curry, we find the teachers do not get over
81 ,45O per month, which leaves a margin
Of $6l6, and where does it 60, and who
gets it each month"; True, the salary Of
the teacher of military tactics, is not m
cluded in the above, but he would hardly
require so much nor is the salary OF the
Secretary of the Board but he only gets
$3.50, for writing off the minutes OF the
meeting once month, which pays him
very we'll. But here is enough left to
pay three or four more very well, and MIR.
Bien's report would have been much more
satisfactory, If he had told US how much
over 81, 900 are expended each month and
who gets it. More anon, U. S. A.

From the Alas commercial columns o.
Thursday, we extract the following state
ment of facts and figures, showing the
comparative taxation in the Atlantic ana
Pacific States; facts and figures which aIs
of themselves sufficient refutation OF every
argument in favor of taxation o. 'A'
mines:
In ,he annual message Of the President
and in The reports OF ., a. -, 70 e ne nrodnc'
freoaent allusion is MADE 70 Ihe Prouucr

800 o those productions Tor the support
. 20 .hS Government; - If those mines were
" sne nntaxed. Certainly support Of the
t;ovsrnment should be rendered J with no
reluctant hand; but il is quite possible
that a very great mistake may be made in
the mode of drawing support from any
particular interest. When any resource
whatsoever is found to yield large re-
venue, far above the ratio of any other in
teresL it is hardly saia certainly not adj
visable, to disturb the natural flow of that
revenue by endeavoring to force little
more from it by unusual means. The
mines of California now afford . revenue
to the Federal Government far in excess
of any other interest. This Is easily proved
by the official figures of the Government.
The amount Of customs duties paid at this
port last year was $5.970,156; that OF
New York and other custom ports for the
same period, $70,993,S42. The popula.
ton of California BY the census Of 1850.
was $4,000, and of the Eastern States
now under Federal control, 1881, 900.
The customs, per capita, were therefore as
follows:
