CALIFORNIA WARNED ON THE
MINE-TAX.

The press and people Of California are
making "no,e aud comment" on the
iniquitous Miue-,a1 Bill, passed at the
Special Session of our Legislature; as
the quartz mining interests in that State
are rapidly acquiring prominence, and
promise soon to yield after the album
dance of the early placer diggiugs. 1t
is SAID by leading mining men, 10 Cali
~:orria, ave know not how soon the
same iuiquity may be Legislatively per-
pe,rated against the mining population
Of California, if such a precedent is
allowed to go !qurebuked."
As witness the following extract from
an article in the Grass Valley National
of July 9Th, headed "No,es and Com
ment,:"
1.-The system Of taxing the mines,
which the State Of Nevada has recently
Instituted, is exceedingly u~njus. and
oppressive, creating an excitement in
that State, which is not unfelt here, for
ice knor not hoW soon the same ISIQuITY
may be lsgiI!atieeiy perpetrdted against The
mining population Of California, If such a
precedent is GlioTsd TO go unrs6uked. We
have come in possession Of a speech
delivered By Hon. Fred. Hutchins, SEN
ator from Humboldt county, at special
session Of the Legislature of Nevada,
on March goth, 1857. He denounced the
bill for additionally taxing the mines as
An outrage upon the already over-bur-
deued taxpayers, "a accused Governor
Blasdel Of corrupt motives in c~onjunc-
ton with an equally corrupt legislative
cabal. II vas pretended that the special
session was called because there was Il
deficit in the Treasury, or would be, OF
the necessary amounts for carrying on
the Government; and this mining bill,
heaping additional onerous taxation
upon the mining interest solely, was
proposed as q means Of extricnting the
State from its dilemma. Mr.. Hutchins,
however. demon,trated in his speech that
in point Of fact there a no such de-
fcit, but that, on the contrary, there
Was not merely enough revenue, but,
unless the money was illegally drawn
from the treasury, the surplus Of n
hundred aud twenty-five thousand dol
lars, at the very least, would be on
hand, in the State Treasury at the meet
ing Of the next regular session Of the
Legislature. Yet the Governor and his
cabal refused to depart from the original
false statement, and bare-facedly insist
ed that there was a deficit such as the
one they had declared existed"

IN BELGIUM.

Since 1850, says the New York Time,,
the teleGraphie system in Belgium has
been under the control of the Govern
ment. The total length Of lines in work.
ing order is 1000 miles, the length Of
the wires used being 5,395 miles, cxclu-
sive of those worked only by the rail-
way companies. There are 3o7 tele-
graph Offices now open for public use,
aud many others are provided, called
"ofices Of Deposit" at which persons
may leave and pay for messages. From
the year 1880 to 1862 the tariff was
about 81 cents for any ordinary message
of twenty words, which charge was paid
in stamps or stamped paper. In 1862
the charge "a reduced to IS cents, at
which it remained until 1865, when a
reduction to nine certs was made, that
being the present scale. All messages
may be sent either direct from the near
est ,elegraphic office, or, if nearer to
the sender, from any Of the Offices Of
deposit. The messages are delivered
free of charge to all places within a
range Of n mile aud quarter from
the receiving office. \ tariff Of IS
cents also exists for what are classed
as extraordinary" kilograms, the
seuders Of which claim the right to
have the receiver followed up TO any
place other than that indicated in the
message, and also the power Of having
copies Of the telegram forwarded to any
number of persons at the rate Of 9 cts.
for each copy. The sender Of a tele-
gram can claim the charge for a mes
sage if by the fault Of the Office the tel
egram does not reach its destination, if
it fails to do so as quickly as if it had
been sent BY post, or if iucomprehensi-
bly, worded. It appears, however, that
the amount of claims for restitution is
very small indeed, great care being
taken by the officials to avoid all posi-
BILE sources OF error. The reduction of
the tariff was e~miuently successful; for
whereas, in 1860, $4,000 inland tele-
grams were sent, a total of 1872, 100 was
reached in 1865, and the returns for the
first six months of last year show n still
greater corresponding increase. It is
also an important fact to note that,
whereas in 1860 the proportion Of tele-
grams TO letters was l in 2ls, a reduc-
tiou TO one in IS was reported in 1865,
thus showing that the former had in
creased in number at the expense Of the
latter. In Switzerland where messages
are sent at equally low rates, it is re-
ported that the people actually send
more ,elegraphic messages than letters.
Why should te~legrapbius cost so much
in this Republic?

Chief Judge Of the Supreme Court Of
Nevada, has commenced suit, in the
District Court Of 0rmsby, against the
State Treasurer, for an order compelling
him to pay his salary in gold coin. We

The Friend in Need.

The most useful and reliable friend that
a man can have is a good trade. This re-
mark is applicable to not only those who are
habltually employed in manual labor, bat also
to those who have reached more enyiable no.
sitions in business life Every day there are
instances of men slipping from high rounds
to the lowest one in the ladder of wealth.
Business men find themselves eDgulphed in
the sea of financial embarrassment. from
which they emerge with nothing but their
personal resources to depend upon for a Iiy>
lug. Clerks, salesMen and others find them
selves thrown out of employment, with no
prospect of speedily obtaining places which
they are competent to ell, and with no other
means of gaining livelihood How mauv
men there are in this city to-day liable to be
reduced to the lowest pecuniary point, at some
stage of his life, and it is hardly necessary to
refer to the large portion of men who reach
