The Bononza Arm paid into court, OF
Virginia City, this full amount of their
taxes, amounting TO over 100000, on
tho 9th inst. 10 conversation, between
Mr.. Fair and the editor of the Enter
prise, the former gentleman is reported
to have said: 1--WE paid the money
neither because We thought the tax was
just nor because, in the judgment of our
attorneys, we should be eventually
obliged to pay it. We all feel that we
had good cause for resisting the tax; we
know that we could have worn out the
State and county, and that, il We had
not beaten the suits entirely, we would
eventually have compelled a compro-
mise upon our own terms. The reasons
for the present course are just these:
After the veto of the Compromise bill by
the Governor, money had to be raised to
meet the liabilities accrued and acoruing
against the county. The whole business
OF the county was suffering; there was
money neither for the schools nor the
hospital, and at the time the business of
city was in such state that the putting
in circulation OF 100000. or the with
holding of that sum, might mean the
saving or bankruptcy of score of mer-
chants. In such an emergency, Maokay
and myself could not resist the appeal,
and so loaned the county the money"
