THE RAILROAD TAX SUIT,

On Tuesday last District Attorney Full
weller, moved the Supreme Court to quash
the writ of certiorari, and argued the motion
orally, and the motion was taken under ad-
visement by the Court On the same day
the cause was argued for the railroad by +.
l.. Craig and Judge Mcfarland, and for he
county by District Attorney Fulweiler, and
was submitted, with leave for respondent to
file points and authorities in five days and
the petitioners five days thereafter to reply.
This is the case for this years taxes; that
for taxes for 1868 was to have been argued
in the Supreme Court at Washington on
Monday last. just here is "A proper place
to correct, for about the fourth time, a false
report, started here by parties in the inter
est of the company, that had our Board Of
Supervisors left the assessment at $4,000
per mile as fixed by the Assessors linstead Of
raising it to S25. 900 per mile, that the rail-
road company would have paid its taxes with
out any law. Nevada county, probably ur-
der some such promises, left the assessment
in that county at $4,000, anl now the
company refuse TO pay even on that small
amount, and Nevada has to go through the
same Courts we have. This gives the lie to
that report, which should forever seal the lips
of those who circulated it. Nevada can now
see that she has to fight the same battle we
do, with only the prospect of getting half the
taxes we will The railroad in both the
counties ought to lie assessed at about S7O,-
600 per mile (about one-!lalf the amount
given and lent to the company to build i)
and then when they go to law with the com
pany in the future they will have something
1T stake worth going to law for. This year
when we beat the case we will get about
$50 900, but had it been assessed at half its
WORTH, say .$70, 900 per mile, with the same
law and expense we would have got some
$4,000

official Paper Of Placer county
COMMERCE. In AND BETWEEN 1HE
STATES.


Two weeks ago we wrote and published
an article showing the power of the States
over commerce and common carriers within
their own territory, and just where Federal
power began under the clause of the Consti-
tuition authorizing Congress to "regulate
commerce among the States" Since then
we have read the elaborate letter of Con-
gresham Shellabarger, Of the Franklin Dis
trct in Ohio, to the Journdt Of Commerce.
This letter corroborates all our previous de-
clared opinions, and proves them by numer-
Gus decisions of the United States Courts,
and some of the ablest law writers and emf
nent commentators on Federal and State
powers our country has produced. The de
cisons and opinions quoted by Shelabarger
20 to show conclusively that Congress has
no power to regulate that which is partly do
mes,ic commerce in the States; quoting JUS
tce Miller of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in the decision written by him
the "Clinton Burdge case" in 1857,
where it says State power is supreme in reg
ulaiing domestic commerce (Which is con-
Quoted wholly within the limits of a State,
and which is therefore neither foreign com
merce nor commerce among the States.
Thus settling the point forever just where
State power CEASES and Federal power be-
girs; this is tie true dividing point of Con-
gressional and State power. This gives to
the Legislative power of California the abso-
lutte right 10 fix the rates Of freigh's and fares
within Eor own territory and between her own
citizens. The authorities quoted by Shella-
barger go even beyond this and declare that
State laws on tie question Of commerce be-
tween States is valid, in the absence Of Con-
grcssional enactmens. Tbs question of
freights and fares is now beforeihe Legisla-
ture of Nevada, and it has full power to
enact such laws as it may see fit to pass and
they will stand the test and be declared valid
by all the courts of the Union until Congress
by law may supercede such legislation by
fixing the charges Oh commerce between that
State and the other States of the Union.
We have no hope, however, of Nevada do
ing much for the people on this question, as
the election of a majority Of the members
was, notoriously, bought by candidate for
the United States Senate. Men who would
consent to such CO rru ,lions, and take seats
when they know they are obtained through
bribery of voters, are almost certain to be-
come the mere tools of Stanford 4 Go. 1t is
the people of California that we would have
clearly understand their power and the
means by which they can enforce their will.
Then this question offares and ireights within
our own State is the issue in electing our
next legislators We would have the only
party lines in this State drawn on who shall
be our next legislators, United States Sen
ator, members of Congress and county Off
cers are they for or against the great mo-
nopoly Are they with and for the people or
against them? These are the only questions
voters should ask.

WHO COLLECTS POLL lAXEs.--lhere Is
some question here with County Auditor,
c. c. Crosby, as to who he shall deliver the
poll-tax receipts to Tor collection, though we
believe it is matter of Indifference to the
Assessors and Collectors, for none of them
banker alter the job. However, to be Ger
tain ON the matter, Greed Raymond, one Of
The Code Commissioners was applied to and
gave a written opinion that the Assessors
were the legal collectors of these taxes III
Il is county. That opinion was fed with
the Recorder and we published it last week
The Recorder, not feeling satisfied with it,
asked District Attorney Fuweicr, and
General 10 Hamillou for their views ON the
question, and they both agree that under
the law taking precedence in this county the
Collectors are the legal parties to collect poll
taxes in This county. This opinion we also
publish, in to-day's HERALD, so that all may
read for themselves the two opinions.

{. {. CROSBY, ESQ:
Auditor Of the County Of Placer;
DEAR SIR-lour note of the 9th inst request
~ my gal opinion on certain questions there
in contained ust received. and in answer | will
say that in my op nion the collectors are the
legal collectors Of personal property and pol.
taxes in the County of Placer dur ng their present
lerms OF olice. The law passed ON the 2oth
day OF March, 1872, was intended to operate as
an amendment OF that portion OF the Political
Code providing that the assessors should collect
the personal property and poll taxes, and there
iore its operation is not affected by Section 3S9l
refened to 10y Creed Raymond, but rather
recognized and enforced thereby; 1t being amen-
jatory Of the new Revenue Code, passed ON the
lGth day of March, 1872. In other words, the
passage of the Act of March 2Sth restrained the
operation OF that portion of the Code 'provding
lor the collection Of personal property and Toll
taXes by the assessors of Placer county tand
passed March the l6th) until after the terms OF
office Of the collectors have expired and it having
been passed twtlv, days subsequent to the Act
Of the 10Th of March referred to, it operated as Il
repeal of Section 1891 so far that section con
licts with the Act of March the 2sth.
