Gdttismen Of he Senate and Assenbty:
II again becomes my duty in obedience
to the mandates OF the Constitution to
communicate to you such measures rs
are deemed expedisnt and necessary to
the public good. Upon the commence
ment Of the seventh session OF the Leg
islaiure. there Is abundant cause for re-
joicing. The new era OF prosperity
which dawned upon u declining inter
ests at the close OF 1871 has bsen pro-
longed to the present hour. Each day.
each month has brought its new tidings
Of the rewards OF judicial investments OF
capital, and the achievements OF t~irelsss
labor. To r~ecapitulsie would DO a
pleasant, but useless task. All that
might be said would be but a repetition
OF former congratulations. Our growth
has been the increase Of substantial
prosperity. Population has sought our
boundaries. Well considered estimates
place the gain OF inhabitants in the past
four years at 27.OOO-an increase OF
nearly forty per cent. The tide OF emf.
grafton. which pours its u~nesasing food
along the highway to California, brings
daily new aeeessions to our numbers.
They come TO add their labor. their in
terests and their hopes to our common
stock. Let Us extend to them a hearty
welcome.
The infancy Of our State has passed.
She has reached the strength OF matu'
rity. Her OF wealth are pour
log out their enrichins streams in every
direction. quicksnins the currents OF the
buoyant health Of national commercs.
To-day Nevada stands upright. She
has no need OF prop or helping hand.
She walks n stalwart child beside her
sister State. keeping equal pace in the
march Of empire by tho Pacific shores.
There has been no step backward. The
sovereign favor Of the Creator. m His

room for suspicion that any taxpayer
may have omitted 10 include any item OF
expense within the legal exemption.
The assumption rests upon the well
known habit OF men to swear to the
truth when IL concerns their interests to
do so. II may be taken for granted that
the net proceeds OF mines reported for
taxation during the year 1873 was the
sum Of SIS, 53s. oil 40. and no lsss. The
revenue derived therefrom was the sum
Of S29G, 79i 05. This sum represents
the pressure Of taxation upon an in
dustry the gross income OF which was

53s, oil 40. There are no means OF
computing from official or reliable data
the capital invested OF which the latter
amount is the income. Let II be admit
ted that the business OF mining 10 spec
ulative and hazardous. Let the income
be capitalized at q rate OF interest which
would tempt the cupidity OF the most
wary financier-say Mt 33h per cent.
Per annum. At this rate the productive
capital invested in Nevada would DO the
sum OF $40, GIG. 73i 80. The uupro-
ductive capital may be omitted from the
calculation. To repeat, then: A capital
estimated upon the most favorable basis,
amounting to the huge sum OF SiG,OO0,-
900 and more. bears the weight Of tax
alton to the pitiful extent OF s297, 900.
ut the rate OF less than seven-tenths OF
one per cent. per annum These are
the general results Of the practical
operation Of the statute now in force
concerning the taxation OF tho net pro-
ceeds Of the mines.
Since the adoption OF the Constitution
the phrase ''the proceeds only OF which
1.-THE min,s) shall DO taxed has been de
fined by usage and Legislative interprsta-
ton to moan tho net proceeds. The act
now In force and those which from timo

their operation. They embody the leg

cannot be solved by fixed rulc. The ac-

IT BEGINS to be understood tha


IT BEGINS to be understood that Spain,
several months ago, opened in an indirect
manner an aggressive policy toward those
South American Governments which had
recognized either the independence or the
belligerency of the Cuban Republic. OF
course, the United States could not fail to
protest against this policy as in opposition
to the Principles laid down in what is
bF!sszy characterized as the Monroe Doc
trine." Gualamala, the Argentines, Peru
and Chill were among the South American
Republics threatened by this new develop
ment of aggressive Spanish policy. Per
haps this brief statement may be accepted
in explanation of the present attitude of the
United States; butit should not be construed
to mean that the relations between this
Government and Spain are unfriendly.

THE IsHSIAELITE of the New York Sun
would have his readers believe that the
President and his Secretary of the Treasury
are at swords points on the question of the
prosecution of the whisky frauds. But his
readers will iplsce no more confidence in
him now that they did when he told them
Bartlett was better man for the Legisla
ture than his opponent The Ishmaelite
made it specially to advocate Bartlett's
claims and fitness and to denounce his op-
ponent as utterly unworthy in comparison.
But his readers, if they number anything
like his boastful announcement of them,
must have voted exactly in the opposite di-
rection from his advice. His opponent had
more majority than Bartlett had votes.
And this is about the correct measure OF
the Ishmaelite's influence with his readers.
Meanwhile the President and Secretary
Bristow are pressing to the wall the reve-
nue. thieves regardless of race, color or pre-.
Yious friendships. They will take q turn

''SENATOR ROBERTSON, with whom we had
q brief hut pleasant talk yesterday, is confident
that the reform policy of Governor Chamber
lain has the cordial sympathy and support of
the National Administration. Some months
ago President Grant tod Senator Robertson
that Governor Chamberlain could count on
having, if necessary, the active influence, per-
sonal and Official of the Executive in COM
pleting the work so well begun; and we are
authorized to say, that President Grant told
Senator Robertson, only few days ago, that
Mr.. Chamberlain was the best Governor in
the South '"-Chdrleston NelOS and Courier.
There is a..great deal of hidden mischief
in this paragraph, for it is intended to con-
vey the idea that President Grant is en-
gagged with Gov. Chamberlain in that per-
sons effort to destroy the Republican party
in South Carolina. ThelNeDs and Courier
supports Chamberlain in that effort, and
has no doubt misquoted Senator Robert
son. OF course the President is in favor of
reform, and will sustain, so far as he can
legitimately, Gov. Chamberlain or any
other official in attempting to accomplish
il; but when such an Official, under the
guise of pretended reform, attempts to in
augurate second walker movement"
by which to hand the patronage of great
State over to the Opposition. he is not apt
to say he is 'fhe best Governor in the
South" He no doubt understands that
political traitors, such as Gov. Chamber
lain seems inclined to prove himself to be,
are not reliable as true reformers -

THERE IS NO DANGER.

A grave misunderstanding has appeared
between the Nation and the EUening Post
of New York. The Post not long since, in
an unguarded moment, spoke Of Roscoe
Conkling as zone of the foremost men, in
tellectuallY, in the State" and more to the
same effect. Whereupon the Nation very
sharply replies: 1--WE shall take the liberty
"of saying that this account of the Eoen-
al ing Post of Mr.. Conkling's talents is pure
/" fiction." and more to that effect.
That sounds portentous. There was a
time when the boys of New York could
not charge the Post with uttering 'pure
fiction" and do it with impunity. But that
time is past. 1t is quito safe to say it now.
Even the lads who prattle in the columns
of the Nation can cuff the Post now. With
becoming meekness the Post replies: ''The
" Nation thinks that we overrate Mr.. Ros-
"coe Conkling's abilities-which may be. -
To mitigate the offence Of having said that
Mr.. Conkling could, if he would, take q
position In the first rank of statesmen" the
Post pleads: "We remember some of his
earlier speeches, before and just after his
election to the House of Representatives,
which gave great promiss." (Sic) And
by way Of atoDement it offered, to corrobo-
nate the Nation, THAT nothing is nop to be
"expected of Mr.. Conkling but the con-
" tinued debasement Of politics to the low
81 arts of party management
This little outbreak having been SC
promptly qcelled, we afectionately suggest
to the Post that it refrain hereafter from
criticising public men until it has asked the
Nation what to say. This abject style ol
apology, If often repeated, will lead the
world to suspect that Bryant no longer
writes for the Post, and then what win be.
come ofitf
The question, whether Mr.. Conkling Is
or Is NOT man Of talent is one which does
National Republican., 1875-12-01

not particularly concern us. We are not
his father or godfather. We do not live in
New York, and have taken no direct part in
hispolitical advancement. Butin the hope of
inducing the Nation to let the POstcrawl out
from under the bed, we venture to suggest
to the former journal that there is ditfer-
ence between criticism and blackguardism,
that the question of a mans intellectual en-
dowments is one upon which even iar
critics may differ with each other, and upon
which fair critics are very apt to dilIer from
| blsckguards: that even il the Post was mis-
taken as TO the measure of MIR. Conkling' s
capacity, others have fallen into the same
delusioD.
When he was only twenty one years Old,
Oneida county selected him from all its bar
for district attorney. When he was but
twenty nine years old, the city of Utica
selected him from all its citizens for mayor.
During the same year that Congressional
district selected him for its. represen-
tative. Four times that honor was con-
ferred upon him. When at the age of
thirty-eieht the Legislature of New York
sent him to the Senate. Perhaps the city
OF Utica, the county of Oneida, the Con-
gressional district and the State were all
very stupid. But they have made no such
blunder about any of the statesmen who
write for the Nation or the Post, and are
not likely to so blunder hereafter. And it
! is quite manifest that New York has not
seen her blunder, if she made one. For
when Mr.. COnkling had worked six years
in the Senate by the side of the picked men
of the whole country, despite the treachery
of such papers as the Nation and the Post,
he led the party to which he belonged TO a
transcendent victory in New York, and the
party, so victorious, NTH one UOice again
returned him to the Senate. That is an
evidence of supremacy which, SO far as we
know, has never been accorded to any
other statesman which New York has pro-
dpced.
Perhaps since lie was avery Young man
I, he has ceased 10 make good speeches, but
such as he hes made the Senate has heard,
and no man in the Senate has ventured to
talk to him as the Nation talks to the Post.
And when, hereafter, any man does so talk
TO him We venture to predict that Mr..
Conkling will not be the one to ask pardon.
1t may be thought becoming in the un-
known drivellers who write for the "NG.
tioH" 10 deny talent to one who las achieved
what Mr.. Conkling has. Any dog can bark
at the moon. There is one species which
does spend much of its time in that exer-
else. But no man of sense ever thinks it
| an evidence of culture in the cur.
