NOT TO BE TAXED.

We have elsewhere adverted to the
fact that Secretary Mccullough trans
mitted to Congress, with his endorse
ment, a communication from P. A. Gar
nett, formerly an officer Of the mint, at
San Francisco, now connected with an
extensive silver refinery, which argues
that the abrogation Of all tares on min
ing and the repeal of all charges at the
mint twill tend to develop the country
and enhance the product of the precious
metals" There a be little doubt
we are so informed on such authority as
the New York Evening Post-that Con-
gress will at au early day Of its next
sitting, favorably consider this commu-
nication, and relieve bullion Of all Fed
eral levy. How significant is this re-
commentator and assured prospective
action, when considered in connection
with receu, revenue legislation in this
State.
Ross Browne, in his recent report on
the mining interests in this section Of
the Nation, inadvertently presents the
conclusive argument against the right
Of a State to tax the mines or their pro-
ceeds. Mines are the property of'the
Federal Government. We believe, that
with a single, solitary exception-and
that one not worth mentioning-no min
ing company has availed itself of the
benefits m Of the title-law introduced
without request by Senator Stewart,
and by him imposed upon Congress and
the people. In view of the probable
contest in the United States Court con-
corning the Mine-tax Law Of this State,
it is indeed peculiarly fortunate that
not one of our large mining companies
has placed itself under the property"
claim given by the terms Of Stewards
mine-title bill, when the forms thereof
are complied with by the officers of any
particular mining association.
Gold Hill and Virginia city, heavily
burdened with debt as they are, relin-
pushed their call upon the proceeds OF
the mines for a municipal tax, in order
that the staple interest Of u county
be not over-burdeued. And now we
are confident, have every reason to know
that Congress will remove all Federal
bullion tax. Yet the Legislature Of the
State of Nevada, acting under a dicta-
ton most miserable in mind and motive,
comes down upon her great and as yet
almost only "interest" with an enor-
nous levy. This, too, without a par
ticle of necessity for such a proceeding.
The more you look at it, the more Of an
outrage does this proceeding disclose
itself to be. And it will not take many
days to fully develop the fact that every
man in Nevada who, as n of the prin-
cipals or as an accessory, engaged in
the work Of heavily taxing the mines Of
this State, or attempting to do so, has
written his own political epitaph, and
his friends (if he have any will enjoy
the pleasure of reading it, duly craven
above him, before Christmas comes in
1869.

A COMMITTEE appointed by the Med

A COMMITTEES appointed by the Medi-
cal Society of Vienna, and composed OF
Professors Klob, Muller and Wedi, has
just published a long report on trichi-
nosis, in which the startling fact
is asserted that the real source OF
infection lies entirely in the rat, in
which the malady is spontaneously de-
veloped, and which communicates it to
the pig. In Morayia, eighteen out Of
forty-nine rats examined were trichin-
lied, a proportion of nearly thirty-seven
per cent. In Lower Austria the proper
ton was not more than four per cent,
and in the environs of Vienna about ten
per cent. It is supposed the disease is
caught by hogs from the rats which they
devour. Hence, tho greatest care is
urged by the committee to keep pigs
from eating rats.

ECONOMICAL ILLUMINATING GAs.-The
Pacific Wooden Mills, at the corner OF
Nineteenth and Folsom streets, are now
lighted by the new Ensley gas, which
we have several times alluded to as a
very economical illuminating agent, OBJ
tanned by a recently patented process,
from wood and animal matter. The gas
appears to be fully equal - that fur

Large numbers of our citizens have been
out to see it during several evenings Of

its economy and applicability on a large
scale to this and other large cities, as
