THE RAILROAD PAYS IT'S TAXES.

An important item OF news, pup
lished herewith, comes by telegraph
from Reno. We take it that most of
.our readers are familiar with what has
been commonly termed the Washoe
county tax suit. The State of Nevada,
however, was the real party in interest.
The Railroad Company refused to pay
certain taxes levied by Washoe coun-
ty in the years 1s~69-'70-'71. After pro-
ceedings had been commenced to en-
force payment, the Commissioners OF
Washoe county entered into a compro-
mise with the Railroad Company and
thereupon ordered the suit dismissed.
The State set up that the Washoe
Commissioners had no power to COM
promise its interest, nor that of the
county itself, after certain proceedings
had been instituted. The total amount
involved was $4,000. The case has
dragged along in the Supreme Court
for two or three years, and was nee

was finally reached, however, about
two weeks since, Judge Beatty deliver
ing the opinion of the Court. In pur-
suance of this decision, the Sheriff of
Washoe county yesterday proceeded
to levy upon and attach several heavy
freight trains belonging to the COM
papy. The affair created no little stir
Reno, as will be seen by reference to
our dispatches on the subject. But the
company could not afford to allow its
trains to remain tied up, and SO nego-
gotiations looking to a settlement were
speedily opened. AS a last resort, the
full amount OF the claim was deposited
in San Francisco to the credit of
Washoe county, and the Sheriff there
upon released the property. This, we
presume, ends the much vexed ques-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the Rail-
road managers will learn wisdom from
their experience in this ase and here
after pay taxes on a fair valuation of
their property without exhausting
every device known to the law to
avoid it.

Last Monday afternoon a freight
car loaded with dry flooring took fire
from the sparks ofthe engine while the
train was between Steamboat Springs
and Carson. The burning car was in
the middle of the train, and the flames
threatened the car behind, and endan-
gered all which followed. When the
fire was discovered the train was, for
tunately, a switch, and the burn
ing car was Immediately uncoupled

bankment and left to consume itself
away. The contents, as we'll as the
ar, were a total loss. The a behind
this one was loaded with chickens, and
at one time it was thought that roast
chicken would be in abundance on that
train.
There are about fifty men, whites
and Chinese, engaged in placer mining
near the Eagle mine, in Spring Valley,
north of the Humboldt. Tie dirt is

ago placer mines We're worked to a
considerable extent near the Eagle,
but the diggings were abandoned dur

who worked them left the country and
did not return.
The railroad boys made quite a haul
of dead beats, last Wednesday at Win
nemucca. Six of them were discovered
in a freight car, which came through
from the east, and the side doors OF
which were sealed and locked. 1t is
supposed that they effected an entrance
through one of the end doors, and that
they came through in the car from Og-
den or Omaha. They were arrested
upon complaint OF w. II. WEIGH, Sta
ton Agent, and are now in custody OF
the Sheriff awaiting an examination.

tonight they will not hold any coun-

intend to hold u council among them

made by the Secretary of the Interior

and say they do not understand what
the Secretary means when he tells
them the Government does not intend
10 force them to go, and then says II
they do not go the white people will
be allowed to come into their coun-
try and Congress will probably with
hold appropriations from them. They
think this looks like forcing them. In
a conversation among themselves this
afternoon they all agreed never to go
down into the Indian territory, and
that if the Government attempts to
force them it will require all thearmy.

them on their own reservation and
they can get along without the Black

An Electtoneering Governor.

The sad, undgnifed and ptiable specta-
Gle of man holding the highest position
in the state around among a crowd show
ing himself and begging for votes, was wit
messed in this city ,yesterday during the
holding of our regular monthly cattle
fair Governor Taylor. so far forgetting
the little manhood that is in him, was the
actor in this humiliating scene. The Gov
ernor was given h wide berth while going
the rounds, and was obliged to go it CON-
paratively alone. Even the faithful among
the faithless were evidently ashamed Of the
thing, and Taylor was allowed to paddle his
own canoe while he remained with u.s..
From what we have heard, we are ccnvinc-
ed that the visit of the Governor at this
time and under such circumstances strong
ly reacted against him, and made number
of votes tor Ludington. 1t was altogether
the thinnest affair of the season.

A Giant OH his Travels.

During the Central Wisconsin Fair a
gigantic concern exhibited on the grounds,
and among the attractions of this 'sgreat
show" was, what was venched for to be, the
veritable Cardiff Giant in all his pristine
glory. But towards the close OF its career
here, the treasurer of the concern made
himself scarce, and ran away with the re-
ceirts, leaving the proprietors in the lurch
with board bill to be settled for. The
board creditors, Messrs. Eaton & Kneisel, at
once proceeded to levy on what property
they could ind that would be likely to
satisfy debt of about forty dollars. They
found that the heaviest levy they could
make would be on the Cardiff Giant. To
be sure it was found upon examination
that it would take considerable capital to
handle an old solid chap like him, but the
case was desperate and disaster would fol-
low any hesitancy. The necessary papers
were issued to hold the giant, for tn sat-
isfac,ion of the board bill. With the aid
of several teams the monster was carted
down town. The old fellow is still unre-
deemed as piece of property, and Water
town can yet claim the honor of being the
possessor of the original Cardiff Giant.
His Giantship at present occupies COM
Portable quarters in the saloon of Joe
