The propriety Of calling Tie Legislature to-
gether for tie purpose Of making On appor-
tionment under the census Of this year has
engaged the attention of some of the press in
tie State. The present apportionment was
made ten years ago, during that time grea,
changeo in population have taken place, the
mining counties as rule having lost while
the agricultural counties have made more
than corresponding gain. If the members OF
the next Legislature are chosen under the
present apportionment, all portions of the
State will not be truly represented; but is the
necessity for new apportionment so great as
to justify the expense that will necessarily at
tend the coming together Of the Legislature.
Had the constitution been strictly adhered to
by former Legislatures there would have been
an apportionment made FIVE years ago which
would not have been so unequal as the exist
ing one. We believe that taxation should be
eqral and uniform and with it just and
proper representation. 1t cannot be denied
that as principle it is right that all should
have an equal voice in public affairs. There
is no good reason why a county with half the
population Of another, should have double the
representation of the larger ore in the coun
ellis of the State. We would like to see the
mining counties retain their present rerre
sentation but they are no longer justified ii
holding n power or representation which
rghtfully belongs to the agricultural coun
ties. 1t is unfortunate for us that we are not
entitled to as large a representation as for
merly but such is the fact and as change
must be made it will make little difference
whether it is made before the meeting of the
next Legislature or afterwards. The feeling
in the agricultural counties is represented to be
stror 81 y in favor fan extra session. Thatthost
counties are entitled to a greater representa-
ton must be apparent to all. The only ques
ton about it is, does the actual necessity O
the matter demand an extra session of The
matter was urged upon the Governor las
Winter, who admitted the Importance of {
new apportionmcnt under the census of this
year and intimated that he might call an OK
ira session if he felt assured no other bust
ness would be transacted. A full Legisla
ture Of old members cannot be had rs severa
have died within the year; to FL their place,
will be expensive to the counties having t.
elect. That the agricultural counties ar,
entitled to increased representation there car
be no doubt, but there is doubt as TO the pro
priety of calling the Legislature together at
cost of 100000, for the express purpose o
making new apportionment.

Railroad Subsidy i'm MERGED.

The Board of Supervisors of MERGED Coun-
ty, have ordered an election to take place the
9Th day of November next, that the people OF
the county may decide whether, or not, they
will give the Central Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny, their bonds for $50. 900, payable in twen-
ty years, and bearing interest at the rate of
seven per cent per annum. for constructing q
Railroad, through that county. If a railroad
cannot be had without this donation, or if
it is necessary for its construction, then it
may be for the best interests of MERGED Coun-
ty, in view of the probable increase in the
value Of property and the improved facilities
which it will give for moving their produce
to market, to make princely donation to OBJ
tain such desired advantages. Under such
circumstances the people may be justified in
voting to give away their bonds. From rep
RESERVATIONS made, it seems that the granting
of this subsidy, will have utlittle to do with
securing the construction of the road, as the
railroad company are required to complete
their road beyond MERGED County within a
given time to secure valuable donations of
land which will be lost should they fail to
complete according to agreement If these
representations are correct it seems wholly
unnecessary for the people of that county to
make an cot ard out present to corporation
that is trying to monopolize every railroad in
the state. The county of MERGED has never
suffered from burdensome Indebtedness; the
valuation of property has steadily increased,
until she has become rich and prosperous
Before voting on this proposition the people
should remember that tie Mountain counties
were once rich, that time proved there was
limit to prosperity, that when advancement
stopped they were eneumhered with debt,
with which the people in those counties Lave
struggled for years to liquidate. The people
Of county should use strict care and caution
that they assume no liability unless it be alb
solutely required Ger the advancement and
permanent prosperity of their community.

TuE MINING COUNTIES. recent action
Of the United States District Court in this city
in commencing the prosecution of Tax Collec-
tors for collecting Foreign Miners licenses
will of course put an end to that source of
county revenue, and the result will be that
property taxes will have to be increased to
supply the deficiency of funds caused 10y the
annnlment of this particular tax. One great
cause Of the decay of the mining counties is
the fact that they are cverrcn with Chinese
or coolie miners, crowding out the white mi
ners. The only restriction upon the influx
of Chinese miners heretofore has been this
law imposing upon them monthly license
tax; and now that Congress and its Courts
hive removed this restriction, we may expect
q largely increased Chinese immigration to
settle in tho mountains for the purpose OF
cleaning the mines; and the effect Of tais viii
he that these counties will be still farther de-
pleted of their white population. Taxation
in these counties is so burdensome already as
to drive white industry elsewhere to look for
home; and white immigration is frightened
from us By the knowledge that Chinese i'm
migration increases taxation by lessening the
number Of white taxpayers. and at the same
time, by cheapeuing labor. makes white men
less able to pay taxes. The object of Con-
gress in passing the Act annuling The State
law imposing tax on Foreign Miners seems
TO have been to encourage Chinese immigra-
ton. The Act might have been appropriate
" entitled IAN Act to encourage coolieism. y
The news of its enforcement by the Courts
viii go Mt once to China. and coolie immigra-
tion will be largely increased. Let the white
men Of the mountains remember these things
when next they are called upon to cast their
votes for State and National offcers.-Eram-
