WHAT BISMARCK SAID OF GRANr.-The follow
ing are the words in which Count Bismarck pro-
posed the health of General Grant on the 4,h Of
March
Permit me, gentlemen, to interrupt your con-
versation moment, while l say word about
the occasion which has brought together
This is the day upon which, on the other side OF
the Atlantic, the victorious commander in the
service Of the United States enters on his office
as President. The event. inasmuch as it deeply
interests the United States, has special claim
on the sympathetic interests of this country, for
it was King of Prussia, Frederick ii, who a,
the birth of the great American Republic was
among the first Of the non-bellgerents to recog-
aize its Independence. As to our subsequent
relations with the United States, it gives me the
greatest pleasure to be able to state as fact,
not only from my personal experience as Min
lister of Prussia, but from the archives of our
history, that the cordial understanding inaugu-
rated BY Washington and Frederick has never
suffered the slightest alteration. Not only has
no difficulty ever arisen between the two coun-
tries, nothing has ever occurred between them
which so mnch as called for explanation. Ii
is, then, to me n most agreeable, as well as an
appropriate duty, to call on you to unite with
me in drinking, in German wine, the health oi
the President Of the United States, General
Grant.

pleasure in dancing. But the people of Shasta
manifested such spirit of friendliness and re-
gard for the enjoyment and comfort of outsiders,
that no one could find fault with anything The
citizens of Shasta have been noted for their hos

tainly maintained their reputation in this
instance. Long may they flourish. Large dele
cations of people from Red Bluff, Millville,
French Gulch and Weaverville attended the cell

times better customers for the trade of England

The Couaty Finances.

Several years ago the then existing Board of
Supervisors of this county caused to be entered
upon the journal of their proceedings despond-
ing declaration that the county finances were in
a most unsatisfactory condition, for which they
could devise no remedy, and which they seri-
ously apprehended would in the future result in
the bankruptcy of the county. So far the event
has not answered their expectations, and not
long since we informed our readers that the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the past year exhib-
tied marked improvement upon preceding
years. This statement We propose to verify by
figures obtained from careful examination Of
the books of the Auditor and Treasurer, which
we believe will be found interesting, adding
thereto few words of explanation. Our space
will not admit review in detail of more than
the last two years, but this will be sufficient to
show that our financial skies are Frightening
and that the liquidation of our Indebtedness and
consequent lessening Of taxation are not only
possible but probable. The amount received
into the county treasury for the fiscal year lss7-s
ending the first Monday in March, was Sal $50 IL,

1t will be observed that there is increase in
every branch of revenue. The addition of every
species of property to the assessment roll sweled
the property tax and it will be remembered that
since May 18th, 1868, the county has received
the whole of the foreign miners tax instead of
half as before. The division of the county into
three revenue districts has resulted in a stricter
collection of per capita taxes, and we believe the
State and county licenses have been more faith
fully collected than ever before. The year 1S67-S
shond be credited with the amount of the
Greenhood l. Neubauer deficiency, together with
part of the money received from the State
the following year. The difference in the cost
of the county administration is owing to the re-
duction in the pay of officials under the act Of
1866, and the almost entire absence of GRIM
inal prosecutions during the last year, that hav-
ing been one of the principal sources Of our
financial burdens. Besides this, under the man
agement Of our present Board of Supervisors and
their immediate predecessors the strictest econ
omy has been inauguratcd as the rule in all mat
ters of county expense, for which they are enti-
tied to the thanks of taxpayers. Next year there
will be a further reduction in the expenses of

vitcd themselves to ride with him.

home, he discovered his pocket book,
containing draft on an Austin Bank for
$35 and $3.50 in SCRIP, was missing. Early
next morning he returned to Austin
and informed the person who bought
his wheat, who, on Monday morning,
went to the bank and stopped payment
of the draft. Some time during the
day the draft was presented by man
who, on being questioned, said he had
bought it for $50. We understand that
Mr.E. has 'strong suspicion" Of who the
thief was, and We hope he will meet
his just deserts.--Mitchell County Ne,cs
