W, W. Hobart, State Controller,
has commenced suit against G. W..
Huffaker, of Washoe, County Treas
urer, for the sum of five thousand
and odd dollars, being the additional
twenty-five per cent. on delinquent
taxes collected by Washoe County
from the Central Pacific Railroad.
Hoffaker is ordered to appear before
the Supreme Court on the 18th inst,
and show cause why he does not pay
the said money into the State Treas
ury. The Washoe authorities pro-
pose to fight the State on this ques-
ton, and have employed counsel.
The Reno "Journal" is quite hostile,
and concludes an article as follows:
"The State is not entitled to the
whole or any part of the twenty-five
per centum any more than she is to
the ten per centum, and she is not
entitled to the whole or any part of
that. And we will not give up a
cent of it to the State, to Mr.. Ho-
bart, or any other man."

There seems no good reason why
rich placer mines do not exist south
of the Montana diggings on the
same belt of country, which CORE
spends with the Wind River section,
but we do not believe that anything
more than average wages will result
from the Gustav City affair so far to
the eastward of the main Rocky
Mountain range. At all events, the
rush is SO far under way, and the
military job so fully matured, that
the entire country in question is des-
tined to be overrun the present sea-
son. 1t will probably be the last
ditch Of the American Indian. He
is driven into corner, and must go
to the wall, and probably, the sooner
the Black Hills game is played out,
the better for all concerned. Ere
the end of 1875, we look for reor-
ganization of the map, and "Centen-
nial" Territory created out of Dako-
ia, Montana, Wyoming, &c.

The Gold Hill !" News" expresses
some concern as to the possible
even probable-action Of the State
Republican Central Committee at
the meeting called for the 18th inst.
Saturday. The call is SO worded as
10 imply that the Committee will, on
this occasion, choose delegates to the
national convention. 1t seems like
too important matter to be entrusted
to committee of limited numbers,
but in this State of sparse and scat
tered population, it is rather hard to
suggest any better way, unless the
different county committees choose
delegates to a convention, which
would diversity the power, and per-
haps be more acceptable on so i'm
portant an occasion as the pending
campaign.

A Question Of Example.

Speaking of the official corruption
of the times, the "Enterprise" says
1.-THE worst feature of this had
business is that the examples OF ex-
trayagance and dishonesty at head
quarters is rapidly vitiating al classes
of society throughout the land"
We think our neighbor has got the
case reversed. For the last fifteen or
twenty years society has set the ex-
| amples in fast life and corruption
rendering official life intolerable on
the old-time salaries. The rapid ex-
tension of railroads into the broad,
rich, but uninhabited territory west
of the Mississippi; the coal oil ana
silver mining discoveries, to say
nothing of the speculations and
shoddy fortunes incident to the army,
have torn society generally and partic-
ularly to pieces, and the result has
been demoralizing to the last degree.
We believe it safe to say that in pro-
norton, the dishonesty and extrava-
gance in private life greatly exceeds
that in public. 1t is so natural and
easy thing to hold up to view the
nnblic malefactors and gloss over the
shortcomings of the citizen of every
day life that we are apt to forget true
causes and effects. The average Of
ticeholder in this or any other coun-
try is but typical of the people who
put him in power.
However unfortunate the admins
tration may have been in some OF the
appointees or surroundings, it can
not be gainsaid that President
Grant himself is a person of simple
habits, and has set up no bad exam
pie in the way of eccentric or extrav-
agant things, and we believe nm all
honest representative of the underly-
ing good sense of the mass OF the
American people-a people as capa-
BILE of unselfish patriotism on grand
scale as the world ever saw. In
short, we look upon the folly and ex-
cess and malfeasance complained OF
as the froth or scum thrown to the
surface during a turbulent time, and
not fair expression of the bedrock
of the social structure. 1T is posi-
BILE, however, that all is bad enough,
and no bandying of words can make
it better. Anything would seem TO
be in order that will put down
brakes" on the entire "whoop-la"
business of the age. We must look
to tried, personal character rather
than party machinery for the desired
political reform. But this remark
may appear mysterious, so we'll post
pone the argument.

will go off and die.
