.A.RADlcAL BOOMERANG.

Some years ago, when the Republi-
,cay.s had iuais putable control of every
department of the National Govern
ment and Overwhelming majorities in
both Houses of Congress, they passed
a law authorizing aud empowering the
clerk of the House of representatives.
to.make up the rolls of the new House
to snit the views and purposes Of him
self and party He was thus enabled
in contested cases to give the seat to O
Republican, by which means it was ex-
pected that party could secure the
organization of the House forever as
the person whose lame was 50 placed
on the roll could vote as member un-
tiihis case was decided. Under this
rule Republican contestants were
always certain OF seat, vote, mile
age and per diem, and in more than
one instance members of the dominant
party were permitted to hold their seats
AGAINST their legally elscted Democratic
oppoaents until the last week OF the
second session. The tidal wave Of
1876 made the law imperative so far
as the last Congress was concerned.
The Democratic majority was so large
and the contested seats so few, that the
Republican clerk of the preceding
House could not make up the roll so as
to give his party control of the new
House. Now the tables are turned and
this unjust law is likely to be made eff
'fective against the party that framed It,
The next House of Representatives
which is called TO meet in extra session
in June, is pretty near equally divided,
politically, the Democrats having but
an uncoutested majority of seven mem
bers, while there are ten contested
seats. The clerk of the last House,
who is Democrat. makes up the roll
of the next House which it is his duty
to call to order before his term expires.
Following the rule of his Republican
predecessors under the Act alluded to-
he is said to be placing the names of
all the Democratic contestants on the
rolls. This viii give the Democrats a
majority of eighteen or twenty in or
ganizing the Hpuse and effectually
block the Administration game by
which it was expected to win over to
Hayes enough Southern Democrats to
give the Republicans the Speakership.

TEE BULLION TAX QUESTION.
The Motives of those who Attack
Governor Bradley.

Governor Bradley.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: l have just
read a letter ia the Territorial Enter
prise of March 28th, which was written
by some unnamed scribbIer in Virginia
City, March %, and addressed to that
bonanza organ, the San Francisco Alta,
in which paper it was published March
&c, and copied into the Enterprise as
above stated. The letter contained the
following paragraph:
His public acts are open to censure.
| need not refer TO his veto of the Bal.
lion Tax Compromise bill His unwise
action in this matter has greatly EN-
barrassed the people of the state.
Every industry seems paralyzea. and
an incubus is resting upon Nevada,
which will take a long time to re-
move.
The real object of the letter is per-
sonal attack OH the Governor OF Neva-
da, and clumsy attempt. to use his
own language. to produce an impress
sion that Governor Bradley was
guilty Of loose swearing when, as an
endorser of the official bond OF the
State Treasurer. he justified for the
amount be went his security on the
3lst of December, 1874. can say in
his own language " ut that time no one
doubted the good faith and integrity OF
the Governor, and will add in my
own, nor does any one yet do SO, save
the few servants of the bonanza, who,
under the guise and claim that his
public acts are open to ceDsure, have
made this vile personal attack. New,
from what follows the words inst quoted,
and many other indications 1T is mani
fest, this seeming virtuous lndigna-
ton of the. incognito was caused by the
action of the Governor in the Bullion
Tax Compromise bill. Now, | take
issue with the writer of the letter who
talks so glibly of facts and says that in
his action on that bill, he is not liable
to censare. Let as examine the sub
ject of the taxation of the proceeds of
the mines in Storey county in the past
and see if the bonanza has reason to
squirm, as it does. az has been mani
tested in so many ways of late. and
especially in the angle worm efforts of
the letter of the Alta.
If the reader will turn to page $50.

to be:

Eou Z A5osrtaln ! Borra's Age.


1t is not difficult TO tell horses
AGE. 1t is important to know few
signs which serve as eriteria, and then
the age Of a horse at almost any stage
oflife can be readily told. The colt
is born with four grinders, and when
the four front teeth have made their
appearance, it IS twelve days old.
When the next four come it is four
weeks old. When the corner teeth ap-
pear the animal is eight months old.
When The latter have attained 10 the
height OF the front teeth is one year
old. The two-year-old colt has the
kernel (the substance in the middle Of
the tooth's CROWN grown out in all
the front teeth. Ia the third year the
middle front teeth are shifting, and
when three wears old these are substi-
tuted by the horse teeth. The next
four teeth arc shifted IN the fourth
year, and the corner teeth in the fifth.
At six years the Kernel is worn out OF
the lower middle front teeth, and the
birdie teeth have now attained to their
full growth. At seven years q. hook
has been formed u the corner teeth of
the upper jaw, the kernel Of the next
at the middle is worn out, aud the
bride teeth begin to wear of. At
eight years the kernel is worn out Of
the lower front teeth, and begins to
decrease in tae middle upper front.
In The ninth year the kernel has who'll
" disappeared from the upper middle
front teeth, the hook on the corner
has increased in size, and the bride
teeth lose a; the ponints. In the tenth
wear the kernel is worn out Of the
teeth next 10 the middle front of the
upper jaw, and in the eleventh year
the Kernel has entirely vanished from
tic corner teeth Of the same jaw. At
twelve wears old the crowns of all the
front teeth in the lower jaw have be-
come triangular, and the bride teeth
arc much worn down. As the horse
advances in age the gums shrink away
from the teeth, which consequently re-
ceive long narrow appearance, and
the kernels become darkish points.
Gray increases in the forehead and
over the eyes, and the chin assumes
the form of an angle.
