Talking about the tobacco crop, we are
reminded that it is very much like our
tax collectors We don't get rid of one
crop before we have another on hand
Many of oar people have not been able 10
pay their taxes for last year, and yet our
new collectors are on the war-path, anX-
ious and eager to collect and pay over
This is all very cOmmcndable in the ottl
GERS. and we hope they may be successful
in their efforts. short accounts make
long friends" says poor Richards alma
nae. but we are afraid our new officers
will have many a long and weary ride,
and earning their commissions twice over
before they receive them. But they will
| try. What though they do wear out the
seat of their breeches. they keep on. Their
motto is root hog or die " like to see
| their energy a new broom sweeps
clean" says the old proyerb, but we are
afraid Just now these brooms might just
as well try to sweep up music as money
| from the taxpayers. But keep on, gen

Certainly. if there is Il laborious and
thanklcss position, it is that of tax-col-
lector. He has to ride week after week
and month after month, perhaps to the
house of his friend, who is unable to pay
him, vet he must dun him, when perhaps
he is more panied and mortified than the
friend dunncd And then, when the worst
comes to the worst, the inevitable distraint
follows. Government is satisfied, but an
irreparable brecch is made between those
who had been companions IN boyhood
and manhood-a breech never to be heal
ed The debtor foolishly attributing all
his troubles to the harshness of the collec-
tor, and the collector feeling that he has
done all that is required of him even by
charity, thinks his friend is unjust, and
determines, as the breech was not OF his
own making, it may stand.
The fact is the whole system is a miser-
able one-neither sound in principle or
practice, and we hope soon to see it
changed The taxpayer should he COM
PEELED if he would not do it willingly, to
come forward and pay his share Of the

ES~ The way men put off important matters
to the last moment is one of the curious things
in nature. The fifth concert in aid of the Pub
lie Library of Kentucky was advertised to take
place August 10th. The day after, the 18th,
Gov. Bramlette, the manager, at Louisville, re-
ccived over $50, 600 for tickets. Had the draw
ing taken place at that time, the Governor
would have had to send this back, but as the
Concert was postponed to November 3lst, it
was all right with them. We presume that on
the first day of December next, the day after
the Concert, thousands of dollars will be re-
ceived, one day too late, for there will be no
further posponement. This money might just
as well have been sent a week before, as when
it was.

We fear that large quantities were caught

the exception Of q very small portion Of

earlier season, most nf the tobacco was not
set out until very late, owing Ia the pre-
vailin- drought. And this latter tobacco
had no favorable weather for growing untll
within the last month or 50, since which
time it has grown with prodigious rnpidity
and luxuriance. But very little Of il was
ripe and our farmers preferred t. risk il 10
cutting it in its immature and green con

caught by the frost. The crop il very
small, at best perhaps not more than one

ELECTION BETTING.

We write this paragraph for the pur-
pose of raising a question which pos
sesses interest for speculative citizens
of Nevada. There is 4 popular belief
that betting on the result of elections
under the new election law is prohibit
ed. So it VAS intended to be; but the
law, in Il judgment, falls short Of the
mark. Section twenty-tw0-which is
all the &C: contains on the subject
reads as follows:
Every person who makes, offers. or
accepts any wager or bet upon the re-
suit of any election, OF upon the sue
cess or failure ofany person or candi-
date, or upon the number of votes to
be cast, either in the aggregate. or for
II particular candidate, or upon the
vote to be cast by any person, is guilty
of a misdemeanor.
AMI the law stops right there,
without providing a penalty for tie
punishment of those who may be
Sound guilty OF violating the terms Of
the statute. This omission, We think,
would prove fatal to any prosecution
that might be instituted. There nay
be something in the books that pre-
scribes the penalty for misdemeanors
generally, but if there is we
have not been able to find
it. AS there are various grades
of misdemeanor, however, We serioltS-
ly doubt the existence in our statutory
law of any clause applicable TO the
cas- under notice. If, therefore, we
are correct in our conclusions, enthu-

sias,ic partisans may hazard their coin
on the result OF the forthcoming cleo
ton with perfect safety. In the alb
sence of a penalty the law a not, and
will not. tie enforced. We hope some
good lawyer will look up this matter,
and see if we are not correct in the
premises. The election will lose half
Of its interest for a large number of
Nevadans, unless they can stake hats,
boots and. in some instances, coin on
the result. There is nothing particu-
larry demoralizing in betting on cleo
tons. and we are very decidedly OF the
opinion that a State which licenses faro
dealing should not NEEDLE with the
inalienable right of the sovereign to
back his Judgment with coin on the
chances OF his favori,e candidate.
