THE SENATE A rfE.

j. B. Eustis has been sworn in as
United States Senator from Louisiana.
The roll.call of the Senate is now. for
the first time in many years. complete,
sni contains the names of 76eSenators;
two from every State in the Union.
The admission of Eustis makes the
Senate lie. politically. as there are SO
Democrats and SO Republicans. This
gives the Vice President. who is usu,.
silly an ornamental figurehead, great
power and prominence, as on full vote
on ANY political question he holds the
balance of power and decides the ques-
ton by bis vote. AS there are but very
few issues on which parties are evenly
balanced, it is not, probable that he
will have many opportunities to decide
the fate of bill. Parties are divided
oathe anti fesumptien and silver bills.
and to some extent on the Chinese
question, so that ate. vote is not likely
to occur on any Of these questions. and
the only great advantage. tho Republi-
cans derive from having the President
Of the Senate on their side. is in retain
ing majority on important committees.
Less than six years ago the Democrats
did not have a.dozen. members in the
United States Senate. They have been
steadily gaining, ground since Grants
reelection. and the next Congress will
witness what has never before occurred

Senate opposed to him politically

BONANZA TAXES.

Yesterday the Consolidated Virginia
and California mining companies paid
into the Treasury of Storey county
$l56. O36 81, taxes on the net proceeds
of mines for the quarter ending Sep
TENDER 3O. 1877. Of this amount the
Consolidated Virginia paid $80.092 &c.
and the California SIS. 944 81. At this
rate the two bonanza mines of Virginia
pay about $685.. 900 taxes per annum
on their net proceeds. One would
naturally suppose that this amount
ought to be sufficient to, run the entire
State and county governments Of
Nevada. 1t is d little surprising that
the Government of the State of Nevada
oannot bs made less expensive The
entire population of the State is not
much over 80. 0U0-scarcely enough To-
! make an average sized city in the
Atlantic States-yet we must have
blennial sessions of. the Legislature,
which cost the taxpayers about ) l00.-
900 each ard all the paraphernalia OF a
populous State. The State Govern.
lnent should be remodeled and made
less expensive. For Nevada with its
$4,000 Inhabitants to attempt to run a
State Government fashioned like that
of New York with its 1000, 900 of
people, is as ridiculous as for Commo-
dors Mutt to attempt to wear the cloth
