NO FUSION.

We mentioned the other day that a
movement was on foot among the
members of the California Legislature
fuse the two old parties for the pur-
pose of the coming Constitutional
Convention election. 1t seems that
the effort to harmonic failed. The
Republicans held their caucus first.
What transpired is thus summed up
by the Stock Report:
The Republican legislative caucus
was in session at Sacramento Wednes-
day evening. The object of the meet
ing was to consider the proprlety of
acting with the Democrats in electing
members OF the Constitutional Convex
ton. After a stormy session it was de-
cided that a coalition would be impol-
itic. DIR. May made a telling speech to
the effect that the present Working
mems agitation must necessarily in
creas the strength of the Republican
party, and consequently weaken the
Democrats. Sargent also urged this
idea strongly, and this leading idea
WAS put forward by others. The
final decision was followed by a mo-
ton to adjourn sine die, which pre-
vailed, thus doing away with the orig
jnal proposition to hold a general al
of prominent members of the
party on the 9th inst.

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,

Carson, March Is. 1878.
Sir: In response to your favor of
the l4th instant, asking ''if it is within
your discretionary power as state Con-
troller to authorize or allow the reten-
ton by the several County Treasurtrs
OF any portion of any revenue due or
coming to the State as shown by the
semi annual reports of the County Au
ditors to the Controller" l give it as
my official opinion, after a careful ex
animation OF the statutes. that you are
clothed with no snch authority.
By referring to section 3,192. ID VOL
c. L., you will perceive that it is
made the duty Of County Treasurers
on the second Mondays of June and
December of each year TO settle IN full
with the Controller of State, and send

THOSE RECORDS.

The Eureka SENTINEL feels quite un'
ambiable because the records pertain
ing to the Mineral Hill strip, recently
forwarded from the Office here, are not
gotten up with that gorgeousness, the
magnificent compensation for the ser
vice. had led it to expect, and derives
some relief for its feelings by giving
notice that they are upon the "cbeap
and nasty plan" BY reference To the
Cheap and nasty bill through which
Elko was robbed of that portion OF her
territory known as the Mineral Hill
strip. it will be observed hat the pro-
vision for obtaining the records men
toned. was of the cheap and nasty
pattern, and as everything connected
with the grossly unjust measure are
properly placed in the category of
'.cheap and nasty" it is only fitting
that the work Of ~transcribing the re-
cords should be correspondingly
nasty-Eyko Independent.
Just so. The compensation fixed in
the bill is precisely the same as is usu-
ally allowed in cases of the kind. Not
a member from Elko objected to 1t as
being too low. Our neighbors have
no right II grumble about any part of
this business. They compromised away
their interest in that territory years
ago. Their secret understanding with
Governor Bradley, insuring the defeat
ofthe bill through the mediumfof the
veto power, was as d~isgraceful as it
was dishonest. By a dishonorable
combination between the Governor and
certain citizens of Elko county, Eureka
was swindled out of the revenues from
the Mineral Hill strip for four years.
aggregating not less than $4,000.
Recorder Rogers ought to be able. by
hook or crook, to get enough out OF
this ill-gotten sum to v his losses
on the Mineral Hill transcript. 1t
deserves to be stated, in this onnec
ton. that Governor Bradley would
have attempted the same great wrong
again last winter, had not his hatred of
Warden Hyman outweighed his love
for Eiko. He did not love Elko less,
but he hated Hyman more. 1t is in
bad taste for a well regulated third
term Elkoite to denounce that inno-
cent little statute as a 'grossly unjust
measure" since the "Old man," in his
wisdom. deemed 1t expedient to put
his approving fist to it.

RENO. New, March IL. 1873.
Hon. w. w. Hobart. state Controller.
Sir: Receipt is acknowledged OF a
printed copy of your annual report Tor
1877. | notice that The collection OF
poll taxes in the other coIn-
pared with the numbe OF registered
voters, falls far short of Wasiioe. Is
there no relief from a portion OF The
State tax for 1878? Ii seepis TO me that
81 cents will be amply sufficient Tor
state purposes this year. aud perhaps
40 cents will be ample. Under your
discretionary powers could you not
issue a circular Ia each of the aiuitorS
to the effect that at the December set
Element the Treasurers OF the several
counties will only be required TO ac-
count for 40 cents. 45 cents or 90 cents
Of The DO cents which has To be levied
and collected, and that the balance Will
be received by you in the form Of a
certificate Of Indebtedness 10 he taken
up at the December, 1879. settlement.
Ii this can be done, the Legislature OF
1879 could make the rate for 1851 only,
the payment of the certificates of in
debtedness in 1879 furnishing ample
money for that year. The difference
between the 10 cents levied and the
amount you will require at the Decem
| Der, 1878, settlement, could be used by
the counties, and the levy for county
purposes would be proporlionately
less. In Wasboe county we could
keep the rate the same-9U cents for
State and 80 cents for county; and if
we knew that our Treasurer would only
be required this year to recount 10 you
for As cents, the oiher 45 cents added to
the 80 cents for county purposes would
give us the use OF 81 80, quite sufficient;
| and the same rate OF taxation Tor 1879
| will enable us to take up u certiti
| Gates of As cents and leave us 81 35 for
county. The relief thus afforded would
be very sensibly felt, by our people at
least. Very truly yours.
