The Motiett register yields large
revenue, which goes far towards main
tanning the expenses of the State, county
or municipality which adopts It, and this
tax is paid for the most Tart, by class
OF citizens who contribute very little to
the support of the city or State under
the present system of collecting rcyen-
ues. 1t is this feature which we think
especially commends it TO the people OF
Colorado. We have here large float.
ing population, including not only Wis
TORS from abroad, but many OF our own
people, who skip from place to place so
pertinaciously that the assessor seldom
or never catches up with them, or II ne
does they escape the collector. 1t is safe
to say tina. the largest half of all the
money paid for drinks" in Colorado Is
paid by men who pay no taxes at present
IN the State, and by this plan they would
contribute very largely to the support OF
our public institutions of whatever ma

sF0Ilfe Maguires.

Sheriff Guffey of Westmoreland county,
Pa, has succeeded in unearthing gang of
Mollie Maguires, wi have been operating
for three years past in the vicinity of Twins
station on the Pennsylvania Central. Up to
the time these men began work, the relations
between the miners and employer were Of the
most amiable; disposition, but shortly after
their appearance the men became dissatisfied,
and this feeling increased until it Resulted in
an opep outbreak The miners struck, and
during the lockout many instances of open
violence occurred The town of Irwin has
been fred several times, and once more than
half of it laid in ashes These fires were at
tributed to caFelessness at the time. The
sheriff obtained clue and succeeded in in
tervewing one of the suspected men, who made
a full confession. This man, Paratitt, says the
gang numbered twelve or fifteen men, and
that they were regularly organized and con-
Quoted the strikes, and during one of them the
crowd of MoIlies attacked man named Fow-
Ter, who was ST work in the mine, but wxye
driven off after an exchange of shots. On the
same night they burned the Triple Creek
House, and wagons of the Bald Eagle mines.
They have caused all the fires, and during the
July riots in Pittsburgh they burned hay stacks
cut telegraph wires and killed young man
named Carroll, whose body they placed on the
railroad tack, where it was discovered atday
light, mangled and torn. Paratitt also brought
to the sheriff another OF the gang who, VI IN
being eorncred up, corroborated Paratitt's
story The rest of the Mollles, getting wind
of the disclosure, fled precipitately.

when the messenger, Thomas, showed fight,

fired five or six shots at the messenger and

masked save one who covered the engineer.
The passengers were completely demoralized
and thinking they would be visited, furious
scramble ensued in secretinC money and
valuables They were not robbed however.
One OF the party proposed going through
the passengers, but the leader commanded
him to keep his place and come on. After
securing the booty, the robbers mounted
horses, hitched a short distance from the de-
pot and took a northwesterly course. There
we're enough male passengers aboard to cap
ture the robbers, but they were so badly de-
moralized, that with the exception of the con-
ductor and Capt. W. Apperson, who attempt
cd to arouse the passengers to action, there
was no disposition to resistance shown. Sim
ultaneous with the firing a man rushed into
the passenger coach in great fright and as he
hurried through said the robbers numbered

The FranuIns Privilege Restored.

The Senate has at last fully restored the
ranking privilege add if the House concurs,
as it probably will, the old plan viii be fully
in force again The argument was that an
der existing laws those engaged in the eXecu-
tive department can transmit their CORE
spondence free of postage, while Congressman
have to pay large sums for stamps; that 1t has
never been demonstrated that the repeal OF
the ranking privilege made any reduction in
the cost of transporting the mails. Since the
ranking privilege was repealed ia 1878, every
session there has been some bill restoring
some feature oft. First came stamps to the
departments, then public documents, and now
correspondence of Congressman. The pro
vision adopted although in effect complete
restoration of the ranking privilege for every
thing under two ounces, is really only COM
pletion of the work which has been going on
since the privilege was abolished.

SILVER &urnrise.

The London Times Oft the 10Th says; II.
$, funds have surprised many people by
advancing, instead offalling, on the news that
the silver bill passed in the manner that will
insure its incoming law in much its pres
emit shape. We have always said the public
was not selling the stock to any appreciable
extent, and the weakness which has now and
then characterized the bonds was due as
much as anything to the passing fears of deal
ers and to speculative selling, which only
made the market harder. Hence on receipt
of New York prices and the worst became
known the market naturally rose by mere
efforts of those who had sold TO buy back,
Besides it has been noticed that the limita-
ton put on the quantity of silver that may
be coined i'm a given time is itself tantamount
to making silver subsidiary coinage, at all
events for some considerable time, SO that
there is little alarm felt and holders stick to
their bonds. The only thing that lower the
prices of these or any other high class stock
lust now is dearer money!"
