The following article, from the Sacramento
Bee. in relation to the reafirmance, by the
Supreme Court Of this State, of its decision
in the celebrated case of the People VS.. Nc
Creery, which declared that no species Of
property is exempt from taxation. embodies
our views of the subject. We took ground
in favor of the decision when it was rendered,
and are glad that the Court holds to the in
depreciation which it then placed upon the
Constitution. A number of legal gentle
men with whom We coEyerstd were of the
opinion that the Court would be compelled
to reverse its decision. We call their atten-
ton to the following article:
The Supreme Court, full bench, opinion
by Crockett unanimously concurred in, have
reafirEled the doctrine of taxation that
mortgages must be taxed, that churches
must be taxed, that schools and colleges no
public must be taxed; in fact that all pri-
vate property must be taxed, as enuncial ed
some two months ago in the celebrated ca e
of the People against MoCreery. The case
came up On q petition for rehearing, and
the petition was denied but the Court en-
braced the opportunity and granted the new
Judges, Crockett and Sprague, liberty to DE-
clare themselves. They rcaifirm in still
stronger language, if possible, all the points
relative to the equality of taxation that were
set forth in the case, but do not say whether
morigaged property can he ASSESSED at its
full value without abating from such value
the amount of mortgage" because to gi, e
an opinion upon that would be travelling out
of the record. The Court offers in this de-
cision additional arguments in support of the
doctrine established. It is we'll to have
them, but they were not necessary, for the
Constitution upon that subject is so plain
that no intelligent person who studies it can
doubt the correctness OF the Court in that
case. In conclusion they say:
tsWe adhere, therefore, to the proposition here
tofore announced, that, under tie Constitution the
any private property whatsoever.
If any practical Inconvenience shall result from
our construction OF the clause in question: the
edy will be found III an amendment of the nstru-
ment ITSELF 1t Is our Province to expound it as
find it, and not to supply its omissions if any there
be, by forced interpretations,
The people having now secure in their own
hands one of the great fundamental princi-
Piles of Rcpublicanism, and in fact of civil
ization-the equality of taxation-will be
greater blockheads than We take them for
if they ever part with it. Let that portion
of the Constitution stand. Let the people
plant their feet firmly upon it, maintain it
by all the power they possess. 1t is the full
crum of their great lever ; and no combina-
tion of Associations who seek to throw the
burden of Government upon their own shoul-
ders should be allowed to remove it. 1t is
our chiefest glory.

The editor of the Register does not appear
to be very much pleased with the result of the
labors of his TAX payers Convention" held
in San Andreas ON the 9Th inst. What in
the world is the matter: Speaking of the
deliberations of that intelligent body of soi
disant conservators of the public welfare, the
Register says:
Well the agony is over Some of our tax payers
did meet. on Wednesday last but the tcr collectors
seemed to have the inside track.
We call attention to the proceedings to be found
elsewhere. As we not in the humor to make
comments upon the action, rather non-action of
that distinguished farce, submit the matter for
further consideration. Bat, e'when in the course
of human events' it shall be matter of interest
pleasure for US to out-general movement of the
XII inaugurated by the tax payers, We know where
we will go for our workers.
Now that is positively cruel. After in
weighing score of unsophisticated individu-
ais into visiting that "very fine place." for
the ostensible purpose of holding "Conven-
tion," to turn around and abuse them for
their credulous gullibility before they reached
their homes. is rather rough. The whole
affair was sham, and the tax payers know
it. Does any one suppose that those who
were mainly interested in getting up the Con-
vention, were actua.ed by desire to better
the financial condition of the county or ben
eft the tax payers. Is there one person who
believes that those who advocated the imme-
diate reduction of the officers salaries with
SO much apparent earnestness, were really in
favor of the measured None that we have
heard speak of the matter, not even those
who were duped into attendance. The
whole thing was gotten up for the purpose
of making capital against division of the
county, and the concoctors of the Conven-
ton ruse knew very well. that nothing would
be done to benefit the tax payers. If the
eoitor OF the Register is really anxious for
the reduction of the salaries. Immediately,
why Is 1t that he has not and does not ad-
vocate 1t IN the columns of his paper. The
amount of the business is, the Convention
accomplished precisely what its orieinators
desired it should. The pretended "aeitation''
of the San Andreas editor. because his
propositions did not carry before the Con-
vention. appears quite natural-really is an
admirable piece Of acting. He hints that
another Convention will be called shortly.
We will bet him a new hat that there is not.

By late Eastern dispatches we learn that
the Alabama election has resulted in the de-
feat of the Constituton--the most liberal
that has yet been offered to any ofthe South
ern States. The rejection of the Constltu-
ton, the adoption of which would have
again placed the State in the full possession
of the rights and privileges enjoyed previous
to her secession, shows the feeling existing
at the South in regard to reconstruction.
The people of the Southern Territories, SO far
from having evinced any desire to return to
theiralleeiance since the conclusion of the war,
have bitterly opposed every and all measures
looking towards their rehabilitation. The
San Francisco Examiner, speaking OF the re-
suit of the election, says:
Without the electoral votes of the South
ern States they (Unionists.) have no possible
chance of electing the next President. With
out the aid of the Southern negroes. the free
whites of the North will grind them to pow
der. The result in Alabama. therefore. Is
sumner. 1t shows that they have been lean
ing on broken reed in their wicked conspi-
country. 1t shows that the South is not yet
helpless, and that the huge crime against God
and nature of subjecting white men to the
domination of normally savage negroes, Is
easier conceived than accomplished.
1t shows no such things. 1t shows that
the stiff necked, obstinate, rebellious people
of the South are determined not to listen to
the voice of entreaty, have closed their ears
to reason and will not profit by experience.
1t shows that the long continued forbearance
of Congress in not treating unrepentant
rebels with the rigorous severity which the
nature of their crimes demands, instead of
being received by a grateful people as a
mercy, is scofed at and scorned as an ex-
magnanimity of the Government towards
traitors is mistaken for fear, and that Glenn
ency to men who stand prepared to strike at
the life of the nation, is like placing knife
in the hands of an assassin. The negroes
were kept from the polls by threats of vio-
lence, and no white mans life would have
UcSu SUlG W no WIS kDONU 10 nave NOIeQ IOT
the Constitution. Rebel soldiers-in all but
the name-stood guard over the ballot boxes,
achieved result which must certainly add
to the "hardships" already borne by the
Southern people, and yet the Examiner elo-
ries in it. The rejection of the Constitution
will undoubtedly arouse Congress to the
performance of its duty. The day for tenn
porizing and conciliating is past. The people
of the South artU not. of their own accord,
return to their allegiance. The discussion of
Reconstruction Acts should be stopped, and
some measure passed that will cover the
whole ground.

How TRUE FRESHMAN TALKs.-Eron a
leading editorial in the brish Republic, a
paper published in Chicago, and devoted to
the cause of freedom in Ireland, We extract
the following noble sentiments
All who would secure the freedom of Ire
land and of America-of every land and
race of men that dwell beneath the heavens
have but one resource left them. And
that is, to fall back on first principles. Let
them take their stand on the glorious Dec
laration of American independence, and in
sist that every man-that all men-"have
a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness" The men. or the party, who
are opposed to these principles, let us meet
with firm unbroken front. The fight may
be long, and sometimes apparently doubtful.
But truth and justice and God-the God of
freedom-are all with Us, and therefore our
cause, though baf1ed and betrayed and be-
lied ten thousand times, must and shall pre-
vail. Above all things, let US not be guilty
of the fatal betrayal of country and liberty
which inevitably results from the action OF
men who, iu their criminal inconsistency. are
the champions of freedom for one land and
of slavery for another, who to-day worship
the Lord, and to- morrow kneel at the shrine
OF Belial, who are for republic in ireland
and monarchy in Italy, who would deck
the brow of the white man with the garlands
Of the free, and rivet on the limbs of the
black man the chains of the slave.
