EcosoMr.-we see that the Republic


EcoNoMY.-We see that the Republic
can Convention of Washoe county
adopted a resolution, portion Of which
reads as follows: thereby pledging such
men. and all men, candidates before, and
nominees Of, this convention, il elected,
TO do business for the State Of Nevada
and the county of Washoe as industri-
ously, economically and discreetly as in
their individual capacity as private citi-
zens they do business for themselves"
This is Just what is wanted, not only in
wsshoe, but in every other county in
the State, and among others Lincoln.
The debt OF this county is enormous.
and from all appearances there is little
probability of an immediate decrease,
having also a large amount of interest
TO be provided for on the commence
ment Of the year. The funding bill that
passed at the last session was clumsy
and inefficient, and totally failed of its
object, viz: to enable the county to
transact its business on cash basis. In
order to accomplish that object it may
be that an additional bill will have to be
passed. Be that as it may, legislation is
imperatively needed to reduce and regu-
late fees, to do away with the system of
preferred creditors, and TO SO alter the
revenue laws that bill for several hun
bred dollars cannot be piled up against
the delinquent taxpayer when possibly
the original tax is quite insignificant,
amounting perhaps to three or four dol
lars only. This ought to be done, and
also n peremptory stop put to the prac-
tice Of making fees in tax cases charge
able to the county under any circum-
stances. With legislation of this char
aeter, coupled with the most rigid econ
omy this county may in time emerge
from the load OF debt which now weighs
her down.
FELL.-Last evening, just this side of
the Alps mine. a team hauling an un-
loaded wood wagon, got frightened and
ran off. They did not bring up until one
of the horses fell and was dragged some
distance by the others. When the team
stopped the fallen horse was raised, spd
found to be severely cut on the side and
hips and his legs much bruised. 1t is
doubtful il it RECEIVERS.
YESTERDAY was calm delightful day,
quite warm in the SUI but still very
pleasant. The evenings IRE now especi-
ally SO. The night before last it was
almost cold enough for fires. Now that
the time is arriving for fixing up stoves
and stovepipes. care ought to be taken to
see that they are not put in dangerous
positions. The want Of Fire Warden
TO attend to this business is greatly felt
in Phoebe.
BOARD OF EouALIzATIoN.- 1t should
not be forgotten that those whose prop
erty has been assessed at greater sums
than they think just, ought to avail them
selves of the opportunity of rectifying
any mistakes, by appearing before the
board.
LuLL.-Since the adjournment OF the
last conventions matters have cooled off
wonderfully, aud political discussions
seem almost out OF order. However,
the meeting Of the State Convention will
revive them in full force.
Hon. THOMAS WALLACE leaves by this
mornings stage to attend the Democrat
ic State Convention. He has many
warm friends in Phoebe, all of whom
have great confidence in his ability,
Judgment and integrity.
In the last day or two there has been
quite large delegation of Indians in
town. Some of them were part of Coal
Creek Charley's band, and some from
other points.
PERsoNAL.-R. McAlpin, NJ. F. Tar.
pey and j. Rice left yesterday for Car
ron to attend the convention. "
The Floral mill keeps steadily ut work.
1t is now engaged in crushing ore from
the Washington & Creole mine.

graphed from Hamilton to arrive to-day.
