CARSON, Feb. s, 1877

CARSON, Feb. s, 1871.
EDITOR STATE REGISTER: | have
been hoping to see bill introduced and
passed 10y the Legislature, for an Act
10 protect timbered lands in this State
from tho aggressions OF the many
trgspasScrs who swarm through our
mountains.
Tine necessities for such a law nus
he obvious, when it is considered that
there is nothing now upon the statute
books to prevent any one from cutting
down and destroying or carrying off
the timber on any land held by tho
State, an individual, or a corporation,
by mere inchoa.e title. To illustrates:
The state may select land in satisfac-
ton of some grant mate to it 10y Con-
grcsS; and in the interim. between the
time of such selection and its final APP
prevail, or listing over To the State,
trrspasSerS may strip il of all its tim
Dor, and thus render it worthless and
unsuitable by the State. Again. a party
may, by depositing money To buy land
from the State, or by direct conditional
grant from Congress, acquire an in
choate title TO a tract. then strip il OF
all timber. and thus render the fee
simple undesirable. the land value
less. and defeat, for all time, the re-
ccipt. by the State, of any taxes on
such land.
In view of these facts, and to fully
SuuserVc the rights of the State and
the ends OF justice. N Act ought 20 DO
passed, by the provisions of which all
such trespasSeS would be prevented,
or properly punished.
This j. a very important measure,
and ! desire To call line especial atten-
don of honorable Senator's and As
>omblymcn TO il. OBSERVER.

The official return at Washington shows
the election of Gallegan, democrat, as Del
egate from New Mexico.
Some writer's in the Missouri Republic
can are recommending that the democrat
ic party run no candidate for the Presi
dency but SUPPORT moderate republican,
put forward TO Beat Grant. We suppose
them to be some friends Of Graz Brown.
This will never do. 1t was all very well
| for Misouri-it will not do, not by any
manner Of means, for the whole country.
In the late Republican Convention of
Massachusetts, by q combination Of the
friends ofall opposing candidates, the nom
! ination of Ben Butler was defeated. They
united on one Of the numerous Washburn
family. 1t is said the Beast will acquescc,
but he growls fcariuly. Grant and his
Office holders supported Butler. The Con-
vention adopted II resolution, sustaining
the Administration. We think the demo-
Gratis will make pretty good showing in
the old Bay State.
The political, financial and rascaly sit
uation in New York is becoming more and
more complicated. The honest democrats
are repudiating Tammany and the decent
republicans, the Custom House rogues,
headed by Collector Murphy. The Tribune
is exposing the corrupt doings of this man
during the war. It charges him with be-
ing in partnership with the Tammany
pluuderers. Murphy is the grca; friend of
Grant and the one who contributed most
the Long Branch Cottage Gift. His re-
ward was the Collec.orship of New York.
The Grand Sachem, Tweed, is defiant and
IS running for state Senator. 1t is to be
hoped the Democratic State Convention
will repudiaie Tammany under its present
fraudulent organization. Down with the
political rogues every where, no matter
what they call themselves.
There was a split in the State Republi-
can Convention of New York. The Gree
ley delegates withdrew and are bitter
against Grant. They were out numbered
by the office-holders and snubbed. The
GRANTEES had it all their own way. Some
thing may grow out Of this. Greeley is
yet power in the land.
The Fair at St. Louis promi SEES to be one
Of unusual interest. Treat preparations
have been made. Cotton bales from Tex
as have gone on and our State will have
a fair showing for prizes. 0ne of the at
fractions will be the famous road steamer,
which will "cavort7 about the fair grounds.

ton TO this Fair on another page
