An EXTENSION OF TINE. - Senator
Laine has introduced bill extending
the time for the collection Of taxes, ap-
plying as we understand from the Santa
Clara papers to the Senator's own county.
BY the terms Of the bill, one half of the
taxes are to be paid on the first Monday
in January; the remainder on the first
Monday in July. We presume it is a
measu designed to benefit the nabobs
and give them the use OF portion of the
peoples money for six months longer.
The time fixed by law for the payment Of
taxes falls heavier on those counties
where mining is the paramount industry
than it does on a farming community.
At this time Of the year it is more diff
cult to get together money for that pur-
pose than it would be in six months hence.
With most miners the season for labor
has been closed for several months, while
freight money, the expenses Of fitting up
claims and other incidentals have used
up much of the idle money of the county.
1t is time of year when it is difficult to
reach the county seat, and we do not
doubt but our people would willingly see
the time for payment of taxes set at some
period in the Summer. But to be COM
p,lled to pay one-half at the present time
under the same penalties for non-p pay
ment now in force would afford very little
relief.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-12-18
UNEQUAL TAXATION.

1t is n subject of just complaint that
vast amount of taxable property escapes
taxation, because it is either not assessed
at all, or is assessed below its true value.
And it is not the poorer classes who shirl
the burden-they generally pay on the
full value of their property, but those
having large estates are the ones who
contriye to get off without paying just
proportion for that protection Of law
which they receive. While the evil is
acknowledged to exist, il is difficult to
say how it can be remedied. Under the
provisions of the Code taxpayers are re-
quired to give a list of their property to
the Assessor, verified by their oath. The
Assessors cannot be presumed to have
pr olal knowledge of every persons
wealth, and it is difficult to see what
stronger plan could be adopted to ascer-
tho value of property. The Mariposa
Gazette suggests the following plan as a
remedy for the evil:
"There is one sovereign remedy for
this, and it should be applied immediate
ly. Let the Legislature enact law
making it the duty of the Boards of Su-
pervisors, or the proper officer of every
county in the State to publish in a county
paper for one or more weeks the name OF
every taxpayer. with the amount of his
assessment. This would be a speedy and
effectull cure for the evil. fla taXpay-
er's pride did not prompt him to make
true statement of his taxable property
his neighbors would know the fact, and
this knowledge OF itself would compel him
to make true statement to the Assessor.
Besides, every taxpayer has right to
know how much another is assessed and
how much he pays"

TIE BIENNIAL SPAsM.-The Legisla-
ture had the usual wrestle over the post
age stamp question last week, and the in
cipient Solons talked away hundred or
so dollars worth Of time, and then did
just what everybody knew they would do
bought the stamps. The idea of hav-
ing II few tons of documents printed at
an expense of thousands of dollars TO the
State and then haggling over the few
stamps needed for their distribution over
the country is ridiculous. If they con-
tain information the people should have
they ought to be extensively circulated,
while if worthless, don't have them print
ed ut Ill. But these reports of the State
Officers, printed in pamphlet form are
very acceptable to many people, especial
In in out Of the way localities. The re-
su heretofore has generally shown that
those who were most loud mouthed in ia
Vor Of petty economy" at the com
mencement of n session, failed to keep
mp their lick" when the "thieving" bills
are sent in. Those fellows who brag OF
their honesty are not always the ones to
trust.

HAsTY LEGIsLATIoN.-The action OF
the Legislature in passing the bill to pre-
vent the Board of Education from max
ing any changes in the text books for the
next two years is open to just criticism.
The law is in the interest of the firm now
on trial before the bar of public opinion,
ON the charge of using bribery to further
the introduction of their books. We do
not approve of too frequent changes in
matters Of this character, which are usu-
ally made in the interest of some publish
ing firm, but if the charge against Viii
son, HinkIe & Co., be sustained it should
rule them out of the arena Of competition.
As the matter stands now it looks as if
the Legislature had let partisanship run
wild.

STAGE RoBBERY.-On Saturday, the
4th instant, the stage running between
Caliente and Los Angeles was robbed by
one man, and the treasure box was taken.
On the following Thursday the robber
was arrested below Bakersfield, having
in his possession 81 300 out of 81, 800 he
had taken from the box. After commit
ting the robbery he failed to find any
means Of opening the box, and on the
next Monday night, while carrying it
along he fell into railroad cut, distance
of eighteen feet, and broke his foot and
leg. He then crawled three quarters OF
mile to Chinese camp, carrying the
box with him. Here he got an AK and
broke open the treasure box, and secured
the contents. He then stole II horse and
was escaping when he was taken prisoner.

THE STATE CREDIT.

There has been a studied attempt on
the part OF certain individuals for con-
siderable time to DO all in their power 70
iuiure the credit and depreciste the
bonds OF the State. Those parties have
succeeded in preventing the payment Of
the July interest. 1t may be their object
10 run bonds down very low in order
that they may purchase them al depre-
ciated rates, and sfterward, when they
rise in value, profit by their apprecia-
ton. Such men are willing to destroy
the credit OF the.Stste andIinjure her fair
reputation in order that they may make
money by her degradation. Let those
who pretend that there are bonds now
outstanding which are tainted with
fraud show which are those bonds. All
OF the bonds are mentioned in the last
comptroIler's report, and ifany Of them
are fraudulent let it be shown. General
assertions that portion ofthe bonds are
fraudulent merely show the recklessness
Of the persons making them. The
himsy pretext that the bonds were pur-
chased at less than their face value is, TO
an intelligent person, mere trash. Ii a
State permits its credit to sink by the
non-psyment OF its debts, it has no right,
either morally or legally, to take ad.
vantage Of its own wrong. How can
you determine what the bonds lcest the
holders of them? Some were
bought at one price and some at
another. The simple question is this,
"Will the State pay her debts or will
she repudiate them?n This thing Of
stating the debt is only another form Of
reputation, and will lead to total repu-
distion. We had as well, so far as our
character is concerned, repudiste the
whole debt as part Of it. II we are to
destroy the credit and, character Of the
State, it had SIS well be done for the
whole amount as for third or half Of
it. With what grace can we invite inn
migration to State that is both UNI
able and unwilling to pay its debts? We
either owe the debts or we do not; they
are either fraudulent or they are not. II
we do not owe the debt let it be shown.
II any bonds are fraudulent let them be
pointed out. nw intend to repudiate
our State debt let!us.do it boldly; but to
do il in a sneaking manner, and under
fiimsy pretexts, is adding littleness to
meanness and dishonesty. There have
been men who have been tTihing
with the credit Of the State from de.
sire to speculate in State bonds,
who sre totally regardless OF the
interests of the people. Let those
who wish to enlist under the
black banner Of reputation throw
off al disguise, and then the
country will know how to understand
them. IL our State is sunk so low as
these men would have the world believe,
then let us know where we stand, that
all honest men may scOrn and despise
us. We have no patience with men who
would degrade and disgrace Tennessee,
and shall never hesitate to express our
adherence Of Reputation and repudis-
tors

THE Montgomery Advertiser and Mail
advises its readers that from one end of
Alabama to the other the papers and
people are becoming interested in the
convention question. The little OppOsi-
ton among Conservatives, which at one
time was feared, is disappearing, and
the more the question is discussed the
more unanimous is the feeling in favor
OF a convention becoming, The con-
vention will be ordered il only msjori-
ty Of the votes cast is in the affirmative.
A few people are under the impression
that it takes two-thirds. The mistake
arises out OF the fact that it requires q
two-thirds vote Of the legislature to SUBJ
NIT amendments. A majority vote Of
the people will carry the day in favor Of
the convention.
