FCNDlSa.--W zee that Senator Wes-
coat has introduced u bill providing for
funding the indebtedness Of this county.
Regarding this measure it will DO well to
consider: First. Surprising that the bill
becomes a law. will tho income OF tho
county be- sufficient to carry on its bust
ness on cash basis. II it should DO,
the proceeding would probably DO prn-
dent. Second. II tho county income
will not bs sufficient to deiray its ex-
pensea as they arise. will il be we'll to
undertake to pay interest on the floating
debt when that must be indefinitely in
creased. Wo are not aware of tho pro.
visions Of Mr.. Wescoatt's bill, aud do
not pretend to advocate or oppose tho
funding Of the tloatin. debt, but re-
commend tho matter TO tho careful con-
sideration OF our citizens.

LINCOLN COUNTY MINING TAx.--The
Governors message. which is pregnant
with good sense and beneficial practical
suggestions, among other things notices
the great injustice inflicted on Lincoln
county by the operation Of the present
law taxing the proceeds OF the mines.
The Governor says that million OF the
net proceeds Of mines in Lincoln county
pays as much as three millions in Storey
county, which may be very pleasant for
the Comstockers but is not 20 agreeable
to tho mine owners OF Phoebe. This can
only be remedied by revision OF the
mining tax law, to which we especially
call the attention OF our delegation.
