The Mining Tax for Local Pur-
poses.

A bill bas been presented in the
Assembly authorizing the Board OF
Aldermen of Virginia to levy and
collect tax upon the proceeds OF
the mines within the corporate
limits of the city. We have not
seen the bill, but the proposed tax,
we presume, says the Enterprise,
is levied for street improvements.
1t is proper that part of the
mining tax. now collected mainly
for the benefit of the State, should
be given to the towns and cities
within the limits of which the
mines subject to taxation are To-
Gated; yet this taxation must be
apportioned by a general law. The
Constitution says: 1.-THE Legis-
lature shall provide by law for a
uniform and equal rate of assess
ment and taxation, and shall pre-
scribe such regulations as shall
secure Just valuation for taxation
of all property, real, personal, and
possessory, excepting mines and
mining claims, the proceeds of
which alone shall be taxed" The
implication is plain, and we think
the courts would 50 decide, that
taxation must be uniform and
equal throughout the State, whe-
Their applied to real estate or the
proceeds of mines. There must
be a limit somewhere to mining
taxation, and it can neither be
safely nor constitutionally left to
counties and municipalities to sup
plement the regular and necessary
State taxation with such levies up
on the proceeds of the mines
within their jurisdiction as caprice
or financial necessity may suggest.
AS we said before, a portion Of the
mining tax, whatever the general
rate may be, should go to the towns
and cities within the corporate
limits of which taxable mines are
located; but the per centage should
be apportioned by general law.
For example, let law be passed
levying a certain tax upon the net
proceeds of the mines, one-half to
go to the State, one-quarter to the
county, and one-quarter to the
town or city within the limits of
which the mines are located. This
would make the taxation "equal
and uniform" according to the
spirit of the Constitution, and
place the validity of the levy be-
yond dispute.

! from various portions of the State,
| all interested in their little bills.
| The Honorable Scattering Wing
daddle is in attendance upon his
duties as legislator, representing
his constituents, citizens of Shirt
tail Bend. He is urging two
favorite bills, prepared by the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, viz: :" A bill for the
better protection of bristles upon
pigs" A bill for the alienation
of hens during fly time or flies
during hen time)." It's useless
for the opposition to engage either
the services of Uncle George
Tuf1y or General Steward; they
are not heavyweight enough.
A good story IS told upon a late
aspirant for Senatorial honors,
which, if true, shows that the ac-
cumulation Of sudden wealth
brings sometimes also excessive
meanness along with it. The said
individual, occupying rooms at
one of our hotels, ordered bottle
each Of whisky and brandy sent to
his room. and when his hotel bill
was presented for payment, the
price of these two bottles appeared
in the bill. As but one-third of
the contents of such had been con
sumed. George was interviewed as
to whether deduction ought not
to be made for the spirits returned.
George declined whereupon the
honorable aspirant asks what can [
do with it? You will not expect
me to pay for that which | have no
need Of? Well, says George, the
usual custom is in matters of this
kind to present the bottles and con
tents to the porter as perquisltes,
but you must pay for the liquor as
enumerated in your little bill.
That is the way we do in Hingland,
and I follows the custom in Ham
erica. After some additional talk,
George got his money, and eX-
pressed his mind pretty freely, that
Senatorial aspirants before and
after the election were not one and
the same person.

atoms are making, and it promises

OUR CAPITAL LETTER.


CARSON, jan II; 1870,
DEAR TINES We are in the
midst of the coolest day of the
season. When the glass drops to
seven degrees below zero and
shows it all through the night, we
think plenty of blankets and fan
mel coverings are wanted.
The Legislature seems to have
walked up within the last few days,
and to such an extent that several
important bills have been present
ed and reported upon.
The Medical Quack bill, so call
ed, has passed the Senate. The
most important provision, at first
contemplated in the bill. has been
stricken out, the spirit of which
was to prevent quackery. AS
passed the Senate with a few
amendments to the Assembly bill
any person possessed of di ploma,
no matter how, when or where OBJ
tanned, is allowed to practice med
icine in the State. Instead of pre-
venting quackery, it seems to me
the title of the bill should read:
" For the Protection of Medical
Quacks."
One wishing to practice law, or
to teach, is compelled to be exam
med before a board selected for the
purpose Of Judging of their quail
ifications. Why should not the
same examination be held over
those DESTROYS of practicing med
icine?
The resolutions denouncine
Grant and the Administration in
the Louisiana affair, came up for
discussion in the Senate Monday
evening. Cassidy Dem opened
the ball in the usual condemnation
OF every act of the Kellogg gov.
eminent at New Orleans, Grant
Sheridan, and all the acts of the
Administration. There was neithe,
logic or brilliancy in his speech
and fell far behind Mr.. Cassidy
usual efforts in other directions.
Varian spoke in opposition t.
the adoption of the resolutions, il
an able and eloquent manner; ant
at the, wind up of his speech Offered
a substitute, approving the cours,
OF the President and defending tn,
Administration. The substitut,
passed by a vote of Is yeas lever,
Republican present voting aye) t,
6 nays Democrats all voting nay
The Third House is being aug
mented by the addition of quite ,
number of prominent individual

: small bills shared similar tate OF
/ were postponed to future and better
davs. The House adjourned early,
I and went over to see what the Sen
ate were doing, and found that that
body was enjoying the same inactive
attitude.
The Senate soon adjourned, how
ever, until 7 p. NJ, when the great
political contest of the session was to
come up. The question was the dis
cussion of the right of the military
authority to assume control OF civil
! affairs in Louisiana. our Senatorial
gladiators had been furnishing up
| their forensic arrows for several days
past, and a grand oratorical test was
expected. The Hobbies and galleries
were thronged with the unwashed
masses, and the Senate Chamber was
adorned with galaxy OF beamlng
beauty. Senators Cassidy and Cohn
argued in favor of the resolutions,
and Senator Varian spoke at length
in opposition to their adoption, and
finally submitted a substitute, sus
tanning the action of the military in
the premises, and endorsing that of
the President. The substitute was
adopted by s. yeas to 6 nays, strict
party vote. The evening session then
adjourned.
MORE SPEECHES.
This substitute resolution will
come up this evening as the subject
for general discussion in the Assem-
bly,, when much pent-up buncombe
eloquence will be wasted on the
sage-brush air.
Senator Stevenson of Storey to-day
introduced bill granting the right
of way for the Virginia Coal Mine
Company to construct a railroad
from their coal mines, II miles
northeast of Dayton, running down
Gold Canon and connecting with the
V.&T.R at the Mound House; or,
if the Company deem eXpedient,
they will run the road through Day
ton, thence through Silver City to
Gold Hill, The road will be mar
row or broad -guage, as the Compa-
ny may in future determine.
The Assembly to-day proceeded to
the election of Speaker pro team.
First ballot: Gearhart, 10; Bergstein,
10; Van Hagen, IL. There being no
choice, the election was made the
special order for tomorrow at II NJ.
Averill of Storey introduced bill !
providing for the substitution of the
Storey county bonds of 1871 with !
those Of a new issue.
Mr.. Averill introduced bill to
amend the charter of Virginia City,
so as to empower the Board of AL
dermen to collect license on gam
bling houses; also, bill regulating
houses of ill-fame and licensing the
same.
Dr.. Bergstein of Phoebe, introduced |
a bill in the Assembly regulating or
rather annihilating quack doctors. !
The bill has passed both houses, and
is now in the hands of the Governor
for his signature.
Senator DavenpOrt's bill for the
relief OF settlers on Government
lands on which towns and cities are
located, was finally passed. This
specially applies to Silver City, for
which a government patent has been
obtained, but 10 State law exists au-
thorizing the city to sell unoccupied
lands. The bill is now in the AS
sembly, and will undoubtedly
pass. ).
