Foreign Miners, Licenses.

The following bill has been introduced into
the Legislature. 1t relates to the retention
of moneys collected from foreign miners by
the counties where collected. That something
should be done for the relief of the mining
counties is very evident, as they are not only
deeply in debt, but their liabilities are rapid
ly increasing. All kinds of property is
depreciating in value, and as a natural con-
sequence the rate of taxation increases each
year. The issuing of bonds does not pay the
Indebtedness, but only prolongs the day of
settlement. On the other hand, the finances
of the State are in fourishing condition,
the public debt decreasing. and money is
accumulating in the State Treasury. The
retention of the States proportion of Foreign
Miners Licenses, by the mining counties,
would be great assistance to them in their
attempts to free themselves from debt, with
out being detrimental to other interests. We
hope the bill will receive the earnest and
united support of every member from the
mining counties
SECTION /. All moneys hereafter collected
for Foreign Miners License. Except when
otherwise specially appropriated by law to
special use, less the per centage allowed for
collection, shall be paid into the County
Treasury of the county in which they are
collected; ten per cent. of which shall be
accredited to and become part eff the Coun-
ty School Fund, and the remainder shall be
paid into the General Fund of said county.
SEC. 2. Foreign Miners Licenses shall be
hereafter issued and signed by the County
Auditor, and countersigned by the District
Attorney of the county, and shall be placed
in the hands of the County Collector for
collection, in the same manner and under
like regulations and restrictions as are now
provided by law for the collection of Foreign
Miners Licenses, upon certificates issued by
the Controller of State.
SEC. 3. The County Auditor shall keep
a book in which he shall charge the Collec-
tor with all licenses issued to him from time
to time, and credit him with all licenses re-
tanned and not sold by him. and also credit
him with the percentages due him for collect
ing, and for all moneys paid into the County
Treasury and said collector shall be ac-
countable on his bond for any deficiency in
his accounting.
SEC. 4. The County Auditor shall make
quarterly report to the Board of Supervi
sors of the county, of the number of licenses
issued to the Collector, the number by him
sold for each month, and the amount paid into
the General and School Funds therefor and
he shall require the Collector on the first
Monday of each month to render his account
of sales for the previous month and to settle
his accounts with the county therefor.
SEC. 5. All Acts and parts of Acts in
conflict with the provisions of this Act, ex.
cept Acts heretofore passed granting the
Foreign License Funds for counties for
specific purposes, are hereby repealed and
in all cases of special grants said licenses
shall be collected in the manner and under
the authority of this Act
Sec. 6. This act shall take effect sixty
days after its passage.

Fay, Nickerson and Wood Redivivus.

The evil effects of the Fay Nickerson
movement in the last gubernatorial canvass
are still manifest, are indeed about to break
out anew, to plague US in the Fall campaign.
10. Wood and his colleagues are already at
work with a view to making nominations for
Electors, just as they did for Governor, Con-
troller and Secretary of State last Fall. We
hope to see this movement nipped in the bud,
and that little band of dis0rganizers made to
know that their purposes are understood
The impudence of this crew, in presenting to
make nominations after the vote given for
their nominees in their last effort-less than
three thousand in the whole State-is some
thing that approaches the superlative, and is
of itself sufficient to show reasonable men
the character Of the movement, and teach
them that the men who are conducting it are
enemies of the Union party, and unworthy of
countenance or support. We trust that no
Union man will be deceived by their misrep-
reservations. There should be no division
nor even chickering's amongst Union men in
the coming canvass, and we are glad to see
that the chief organ of the "bolters'' in the
September fight, the Bulletin, is now opposed
to the Fay -Nickerson movement in toto, and
is ready to stand by the nominees of the
Union party. In q late issue that journal
said:
Suppose two electoral tickets are run for
Grant; the Republican agitators may, if the
contest as against the Democracy be close,
Withdraw just enough votes from the Union
ticket to leave the Democrats in plurality.
Such a result is quite possible, for while
there is not enough discomfort with Union
party management to transfer the body of its
present membership, or even one quarter
thereof, to a new organization differing from
the old one in name, there is enough discon.
tent to make third ticket supported by the
club system proposed, source of real dan
ger. The people do not vote for President
directly, else the agreement on Grant of two
organizations would secure him the full
benefit of the joint vote. They vote for
Electors, and with three different Electoral
tickets in the field the chances for the Dem
ocracy woald certainly be very much i'm.
proved
Nothing but evil could result from such
movement, and the sooner it is sqelched out
the better. Let every Union man in the
State set himself square against it from the
start.-Sdc. Record.

SATURDAY, MORNING, FEB. 5, 1868.
Shooting ARRAY.


On Sunday evening a disturbance took
place at the lower end of town, between a
drunken Indian, known as Coke, and a par
ty of Cinnamon. 1t was caused by the Indian
making raid into the cabin of the China
men, and attempting to carry off some cook
ing utensils. The Cinnamon not approving
of such an unceremonious appropriation of
their property, pitched in and gave the Indian
aseund thrashing. Hearing of the fate of
Coke, yalorous Cherokee, known as Hun
ter Eagle, started out to assist his friend,
and while skirmishing around for that pur
pose, Celestial threw stone at him, but
the missile missed its mark. This action of
the Celestial SO incensed the warlike Hunter
Eagle that he resolved to go on the war path
and avenge the insult offered him. At this
point one Thomas Hall, fiery untamed
youth of African descent, brought Eagle a
revolver. Two Cinnamon happening to pass
along at that moment, boy named Peter
Hall, brother of Thomas, pointed them out to
Eagle, with the remark that one of them was
the individual who threw the stone at him.
With this assurance the Cherokee took aim
and. lazed away, the ball striking one of
the China min the arm and shattering the
bone just below the shoulder joint, The
authorities took Hunter Eagle and Thomas
Hal in charge, and committed them to Jail
on the charge of assault with intent to com.
NIT murder.
The parties came up for examination be-
fore Justice Knox on Tuesday, when Eagle,
by advice of his counsel, waived examination,
and was committed to Jail in default of $2500
bail. The examination of Thomas Hall
then commenced but was brought to a sud
den close by the withdrawal of the complaint
on which the action was based, by the per-
son preferring the same, he stating that he
had made no charges whatever against Hall.
With this declaration the bases for action
fell to the ground, and he was released from
custody.
The District Attorney Immediately went to
work and wrote out and filed a new complaint
against Hall, but in the meantime the ac-
cused had disappeared and the officers were
unable to find him until the following day,
wheh he came in and surrendered himself
His case came up before the Justice on We'd
nesday evening, and an examination was
had, which resulted in his discharge from
custody.
Thus ended another of those brOils origin
ated by the worthless Indian vagabonds who
appear to make this place their headquar
ters. The presence of such characters is
standing disgrace to Shasta, and the indi-
yiduals who sell them liquor should be fer
reted out and FURNISHED to the full extent of
the law. The expense to which the county
has Been subjected iii the last few months
by the vagabond Diggers who harbor around
this town, amounts to several thousand dol
lars, and the end is not vet We think it
about time that some measures should be
taken to relieve the town of some of its &C.
cumulated trash.

THE Mammoth steam quart mill. the mo

THE Mammoth steam quartz mill, the most
complete and costly mill in this county, has
certainly proved an Improbable piece of
property for its owners. The mill was first
located near the main Mammoth lode, at
Old Diggings, but the rock failed to pay, and
the establishment was removed to the Harri-
son ledge, near Quartz Hill. Several runs
were made on rock taken from this ledge, but
the company came out in debt at the end of
each run, and the mill was stopped. We
understand the company have authorized the
Trustees to sell the mill for sum sufficient
to pay the company Indebtedness. Parties
wishing good bargain, in the way of first
class quartz mill, would do well to come this
