The extent Of tho mines seems to he

The Virginia Chronicle has tho follow
ing regarding the case Of Harrington,
under sentence Of death for The murder
OF Sullivan, in that city: .n.
Tho papers in Harrington's appeal
case will be forwarded 10 tho Supreme
Court at Carson tonight. So soon ns
they are filed application will be madc
10 that tribunal for supersedens, the
effect of which, if granted, will be TO
stay the execution until the hearing and
determination Of the appeal. 1t is in
nowise probable that the appeal can be
heard before the 9th OF February, md
therefore it is most likely that, MS Gus
tomary in such cases, the supcrsedeas
will be granted; otherwise tho appeal
would be mere fnrce. In case tho
SUPP enc Court sustains the verdict rem
dered aud judgment pronounced in tho
District Court, the subsequent proceed
ings will DO the same ms III Lnrkin's
case. Tho District Court will he
ordered to resentence the prisoner, and
another day will be set for his execution.
At MI events there is now no likelihood
that he will DO hung on the 9th OF
February under tho present sentence.

WE aro informed by the Virginia
Chronicle TINT nn important joint meet
ing OF tho Finance Committee OF tho
two Houses of tho Legislature, took
place ut Carson. Wednesday, 10 con-
slider the question Of tho bullion tax.
Representatives Of the leading mining
interest of the Comstock. were present,
and found no difficulty in getting their
views before tho committee. What
they urged was. that their bullion
should be taxed III like manner with oil
other property in the State, claiming
thut real estate, merchandise aud other
property is assessed Mt an easy Ynlua-
ton, mover sworn to, nnd rarely at any
thing like its actual value; whereas tho
bullion is assessed at IFS full value, tho
tax rigidly collected monthly, whilo
other taxes are collected only once q
year, which they protest is unjust.
We nre not fully prepared to say TINT
these gentlemen hive no cnusc Of COM
plnint, but the assertion that parties
owning other property than bullion, IRE
not obliged to state its vnluo under
oath, is certainly incorrect. as every
taxpayer can readily testify.
