RAILROAD AssEssMEST.-The usual
quiet of our town was enlivened last
week by the appearance from Sacra-
mento Of several gentlemen connected
with the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, who had been cited by the Coun-
ty Assessor Of our county to appear
before him and show cause why he
should not assess the company more on
their road and rolling stock In this
county than Is done by the Assessor Of
any other county on the coast. The
Railroad Company are willing to pay
on $1,000. which they claim Is the full
value of their road In that county, and
in which l concur. But no! Il wor-
thy (s) Assessor persists in assessing It
at Sl5,0 600, and 5000 per mile. His
ideas on railroads Is about Oh q par
with those advanced BY the Sacramento
Union, and it Is owing to his prejudice
that to-day the county Of Washoe Is
$50, 900 In debt. If he and n or two
others OF our county officials would
confne themselves to their legitimate
business, and not allow themselves to
be governed by their passions, the
county Of which Reno Is tho county
seat would be the most prosperous J.
orr State. The railroad would tb' H..
without Washoe county, but Nv
would Washoe county do WIZ WI" y,

David H. Todd, brother Of Mrs. Lin
coin, whose death in Alabama vas re-
Gently announced, was a Captain in the
Confederate army from Louisiana, and
his youngest brother, Sam Todd, was a

Shiloh, about 10 O'Clock In the morn
ing, when the army under Beauregard
was met by Buell's reinforcing coltlnn,
young Todd was killed. A bullet
pierced bis forehead, and he WAS left
upon the field to be buried by Grants
army. He was quite we'll known In
the Western army, and attracted a good
deal Of notice as the hrother-in.law Of
MI. Lincoln. In camp when he was
present, the boys were always very
careful to say nothing offensive about
the Northern President. He was q
very popular young man, aud a true
and devoted soldier. In the same
regiment was a nephew Of Secretary
Seward, who still lives" .a-t.

poster has been arrested for ~conniving
at lottery. The authorities are now
anxious to learn who made the paste
with which the bills were stuck upon
the dead-walls. This Is for the pur-
pose Of eventually ascertaining who
was the miller that ground the wheat
from the flour Of which the paste was
made. II no can be secured, they hope
to learn the name Of the boy who took
the wheat to mill. There are five hun
dred thousand self-swindled citizens on
this coast who are just clamoring for
the blood Of that boy.
