ID, the undersigned, calling upon
Mr.. Tiiden. found him in receipt of
the McCreary House bill. with pro,
posed amendments, and a letter
from Mr.. Hewitt advertising She
Governor that his counsel thereon
would be asked the next day. Mr..
TiIden asked the undersigned to
call on the morrow. when Mr.. Hew-
itt should be there, to consider this
bill-the supposed axis on which
the deliberations OF the House con.
ference committee were revolving.
The undersigned thus came to be
present Jan. IA, the day and date
when Mr. Tilden received from Mr..
Hewitt's lips his first informatiop
that other measures had been aban-
doned, that the Senate Conference
Committee had just disclosed to the
House Conference Committee an
Electoral Commission bill it had
been privately preparing; that the
House Committee were pressed to
accept and adopt the same. and that
the subject he wished to confer upon
was that.
Mr.. Hewitt explained, as the Sen
ate Committees reason for secrecy,
that without it they could not carry
the bill. 1t had been adopted by
arrangement between the three Dem,
oeratic and the four Republican
members, and was SO strictly observ-
ed that when Senator Herman made
inquiry of one Of the former, he was
told that nothing could be disclosed
to him without violating an honor
able understanding. So we'll was
the secret kept that Senator Bar
mum, now Chairman of the National
Committee, passing through New
York on Friday, the 18th, had ex-
pressed his conviction that MAORI
ty of the Senate, as Mr.. Tilden's
plan anticipated, would concur in
denying the right of Ferry to make
the count.

The observations OF the recent
eclipse appear to have been satisfac.
tory in every respect. At all the
stations along the line of totality,
the sky was unclouded, and all the
preparations had been so skillfully
made, that no failure is reported
from any quarter. Just what has
been gained, and how much has
been actually added to the sum Of
the worlds knowledge by the event,
can only be determined after long
and careful comparison and calcula-
tion based upon the reports OF the
various observers. Two things which
have heretofore been in doubt, ap-
pear to have been definitely settled.
The tasimeter Of Mr. Edison con,
clusigely demonstrated that the cor.
Ona einits heat as well as light; and
the discovery by Prof, Watson ofa
new planet in close proximity to the
sun, confirms, the hypothesis OF as
tronomers. that certain irregulari.
ties ia the solar system were attFib-
utable to the existence Of one or
more unknown planets. Another
fact Of Importance as bearing upon
the question OF sun-spots and their
influence upon the degrees of light
and heat. is the announcement Of
Pref Lockyers that the measured
Brightness Of the corona at the time
of the recent eclipse, was more than
ten times that Of the eclipse Of 1870.

A Ineerreet Inn.c~a~e.


There are ~ varal papers in this ststs
which draw;he inference that tecrus- the
Democrats in the rees nj election insist.-d
more s~trenuously than did the Rrnubii-
caus on tho doctrine of non.int+rf-r-nce
with the Bullion Tax Law. and the
further fact that several Of the -snccess-
fui candidates for State Offices. voted for
change in that Law at the last SESSION
Of the Legislature, therefore. the peo-
Pile VI Nevada are ia favor Of a modif
cation If The Law taxing the net pro-
c'eds Of tie n,;res, similar to that
which YVES h;t. mIt,d to be- passed at
the last session of the Legislature.
Now. we tale the position thai the
result Of tina. election is no indication
Of any such sentiment. aud assert that
three fourths, at least. Of the voters of
Nevada, to-day, are opposed to any
modification OF that law similar to the
modification above referred to. We as
sert. moreover. that the result of the
election does Indicate that ihero is q Re
publican majority in this State, and
that the influence aud pa ioDage Of the
great mining and railroad corporations,
assisted by The free use Of money are
influences that are all powerful in the
politics Of Nevada. We assert, also,
that had it not been fer the latter iu-
lnences, that the Democrats would have
elected their Governor aud u good or
ton of the other State Officers "a nc
count Of the Dullion Tux question
alone. notwithstanding the Republican
majority in the State.
. Some Of tho papers above referred to
make the assertion that there is an ar-
ta6onism between the a~sriculturalist
end The hardy miner, by whose labor it
Ii that our mines are developed. Now,
the truth is, that no such autaGunism
exists. 1t is not the hardy miner and
prospectcr that is averse to paying his
just proportion Of taxes in
with the provisions Of the law, on the
net proceeds Of any mines which he
may discover and develop; it is not that
class at all that is asking for e modi6.
cntian Of the law in that respect; but
the men who do ask for it, are the rich
mine owners, men who are worth their
millions. who are most of them nom
residents of .our State; these ure the
men. who. by the corrnpt use Of money,
eudcavor to influence legislation so that
their taxes may lie reduced at the ex
pense Of the toiiipg poor people of our
State.
Now, the coming session OF the Leg
islGture will be Republican by an over.
wheliaing majority, aud there is not the
slightest doubt but that if they thought
it would meet the approval Of a msjor-
ity Of the people Of the State. they
would specially provide for n reduction
Of the tax on bullion, but We npprebenu
that there is not the least danger of
anything Of the kind being done, be.
