TIE STATE TAx.-The Sacramento
Bee says The State Board OF Equaliza'
tion have received copy Of the assess.
ment roll from all but nine counties
Those returns foot S623, 900, 900, being
more than double the assessment of las
years rolls. The nire counties yet t.
come in will in oil probability, run the
whole roll up to s66O,W0., f
The sum to be raised by State tax as
fred by the Legislature, Is So, .030-
q large portion of which goes to supply
deficiencies of the former administration
and to meet the very liberal allowance
made for educational and charitable pur-
poses. The State tax on each 500 may
not exceed SO cents, and it cannot be over
40. If the old style of assessing had been
practiced the tax upon each 500 would
DO equal to 81 %. The State tax has ol
late been about So cents on the Sl00, and
now it will DO less than 40 cents. The
middle Hnen and poor men who always
gave in a fair valuation, will be greatly
benefited by this righteous change, and
the large property owners, who heretofore,
ighted their just share of taxation, will
be obliged to " come up to the captains
Office and settle" The principal raise
has bseh in the seaboard and valley coun-
tics, tia mountain counties having in the
past been assessed nearly up to their full
value. "

II. S. SENATOR FROM 4NRvApA,-The
next legislature of the State of Nevada
will be. called upon to elect a United
States Senator to succeed James w. Nye,
whose term Of Office expires on the Ath
Of March next. A lively contest is being
waged in that State regarang the cleo
tion of Legislators, and as It is generally
conceded the Republicans will be success
ful, the main issue appears to be made
as regards the preferences of legislative
candidates fer U. s. Senator. Prominent
among the Republican aspirants for this
position is Hon John P. Jones, for many
years a resident of Trinity county. From
what we can learn Mr. Jones appears to
be the choice of large majority Of the
voters of that State, and it is but natural
he should be, for if there is a single man
prominent in politics, who is one of the
people, that man is.John P. Jones. We
have known Mr.. Jones for many years
knew him as defeated candidate for
official position and also as a successful
one. We knew him when his bottom
dollar" was his top dollar" also. We
know him now when his wealth is count
ed by millions. Yet we can see no differ
ence in the man.. OF his ability we need
not speak ,.for it is too we'll known, and
our sister State Of Nevada might we'll he
proud Of such representative in the
Senate of the United States. If the next
Legislature of Nevada desires to advance
the interests Of that State, John p. Jones
will succeed james w. Nye as Senator

DEATH OF JvAREz.-The death of
Benito Juarez. President of the Mexican
Republic, depFives that country of the
only statesman whose administration
gave promise of extricating Mexico from
q state of Chronic anarchy. Endowed
with large executive ability, frmness
and personal courage, and with d person.
al magnetism which secured him hosts
of devoted sdherents, as the head of the
Liberal party he was steadily making
progress against the reactsonists, who
have resisted TO the utmost the inroad OF
modern ideas and modern civilization,
and have kept the country in n semi-bar-
barous condition. At the time of his
death he was vigorously carrying into
effect an enlightened educational policy
and projects for the development Of the
country, which had TO be carried against
the accumulated ignorance, intolerance
and bigotry o. centuries. And shch was
the energy Of his character and his. skill
as a leader that, had he i:ved, there
would have been no doubt as to there
suit. His death is serious blow to the
Libeal party. and it is not now improba-
Bile, that for time at least, there will be
revolutions and counter-revolution that
will sink Mexico still lower in the scale
of civilizations. His successor as Presi-
dent, unlets his death be- the signal for
another revolution, will be Chief Justice
Lerdo de Tejada, his rival for the Presi-
dency g .few,years since, though profess
edy ympathizing with the Liberal party.

WE are indebted to the Virginia City
Montantan for the following: Five
highwaymen, prominent in the bloody
days of PIumer's Road Agent Band, lie
buried in the center of the burial ground
on the hill northwest ol town. There is
nothing unusual or remarkable about the
flowers or grass-blades in other portions
of the cemetery, but on and in the vicini-
ty Of these five graves every blade Of suf-
fcient height he's curled itself into per-
feet hanginan's moose, and the flowers,
which are mostly white, have on their
petals tiny bloodrcd spots. In one or
two instances the flower leaf has the mp
pearance of having been gashed with
knife, the wound being Of the deepest
crimson. This is certainly one of the
most remarkable phenomena of the CEN
tury, and will no doubt attract the inspec-
ton of host of curiosity seekers.

The B,GcEsr TRgEs.--If the Visalia
Delta is not mis-intorined. there are trees
in the mountains back Of that place which
for size eclipse anything Of tho. tree kind
in -either the Mariposa or Calaveras
groves. Ore Of the forest giants, it says,
spans ninety-six feet, and there is anoth-
er which Professor Brewer reported to be
forty feet in diameter, although the bark
and some of the wood, in all as much as
five or six feet in thickness, had been
burned off. Supervisor Barton, Of Mer-
eed county. end. other gentlemen say it
measures forty-two feet in diameter, and
probably in its perfect state was not less
than tortyeight feot. The largest tree
now shown by the Calaveras grove has n
circumference Of seventy-three and a
quarter feet, it is therefore greatly sur
passed by these comparatively recent
discoveries.

IL olden times whom Greeley was not
candidate tor President the Tribune
used to advise idle men to go West and
get a farm and by life of industry and
economy "grow up with the countrSf'
But it row advises them differently. In
an editorial article in its issue of the 18th,
under the caption of" Hints to the Idle" "
what do you suppose it advises Why,
that they, shall circulate campaign docu-
-ments and organize Greeley clubs. Even
Greeley's philanthropic spirit has been
merged into his insane hankering after
the Presidency. just how these idle
men are to make living while organ
izing Greeley clubs does not appear, but
we presume they are to be rewarded after

FABULoukLY EIcH.-E. P. Kennedy
informs US that Sheffield has discovered
and is prospecting a quartz ledge a few
miles from Sawyer's Bar, from which he
took few pounds of rock-did not select
it but took it as it came-and sent it to
San Francisco and had it assayed, which
yielded at the rate Of 81, ,797 per ton. We
don't doubt in the least the correctness OF
the assay or return, but fear it is too good
TO last. However it is in a good locality,
being near neighbor to the Black Bear,
which, without doubt is one of tho very
best gold bearing ledges in the State
Yrekd Union.

WHEN DocroRs DISAGREE, Tc.-The
San Francisco ErqM'ner, bitter secesh
organ, says it supports Horace. Greeley
because he has abandoned every princi-
pie and docrine heretofore advocated by
him, and has united himself with the
great Democratic party Qf,the country.
The Marysville .aamlorG, q liberal
God save the mark-Republi organ,
says it supports Greeley because he is
true to every principle heretofore advo-
Gated by him, and because it would be as
easy for the leopard to change his spots and
the Ethiopian his skin, as it it would be
to make a Democrat out Of Horace Gree
ley.

WHEN any mode Of punishment loses
the support of public opinion its efficacy
is gone, for there will be great reluctance
to convict of an offense for which it is the
penalty, and thereby the offender will be
likely to escape with no punishment at
all. At Paducah, KY, short time ago,
man was arrested for stealing "A pair OF
shoes, butas the punishment would be
the whipping post, the jury refused to
convict him, although there was no doubt
of his guilt. -
