Tie general results of the New York
election have given rise to much inter-
esting commant among experienced
political observers at the National Cap
ital, which may he briefly summarized
as follows. In the first place it is al
mitted ca all hands that New York
must henceforth be considered the de-
cisive battle-ground for the Presiden-
tial contest, but opinions differ widely
as to- the right of one party or the
other to prognosticate success. next
year from the outcome Of the election.
The Democrats in Washington are un-
questionably. more cheerful over the
news than their Republican neighbors,
and point to Potter's election as positive
proof that New York is reliably Demo
cratic. They call attention also to the
fact that the, Republicans persistently
made the issues in New Y York of a ma
tional character, the same as in Ohio,
and though the Democrats were de-
feated on these issues.in Ohio, the re-
suit in New York shows. that these
issues cannot make the North stall
wartly solid.
In regard to the vote on the State
ticket, tho New York Herald of yester-
day says. Another Cay has passed, the
third since electiony without settling
the fate of4any officer on The general
State tickeb except bhe Governor The
utmost that can be said is that the vot-
ing runs unusually close in the case of
every one OF them, and that the proba-
bilities still favor the success of the
most of the Democratic candidates.

discourage prospecting, by giving few

clause of the Mining Act Of 1872, re-

eral satisfaction, and it ought not to be

THE PROPOSED NEW MINING LAW.

The text Of bill prepared by Con-
gresham Belford, of Colorado, for in
PRODUCTION in the House of Representa-
tives next month, appears in another
column. IT. proposes some radical
changes in the present mining law,
which miners should discuss before the
bill 10 introduced, tha5sour Representa-
tive from Nevada may be prepared to
vote against the bill if they so desire,
or suggest amendments. Under the
law of 1872, which is now in force ia
all the mining States and Territories,
no location can be made until the
ledge is discovered. This clause pre-
vents trouble and confusion among
prospectors. The proposed law au-
taou4es prospectors to locate a claim
1000 III length and 600 feet in width
wherever they suspect a mineral bear
ing deposit OF ledge may exist, and to
hold the same for 80 days, after the ex-
pira lion ofwhich time they may relocate
IL for Do days, as the claim is then sub
ject TO relocation in the same manner
as if no location had been made. The
proyiso-that the bill does not apply to
mining claims on veins or lodes of
quartz found between, well-defined
walls or rock in place--will,not prevent
the abuse of the Act. For instance a
person may locate claim adjoining
newly found rich ledge, where no crop
p,ngs appear on the surface, and it will
exclude allothers from prospecting for
the extension of the ledge, until the ex-
piration of 90 days, or longer, if tho
lacator renews his claim. The proposed
law may answer. for. localities where

A STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

Some of the papers OF this State com
ment on an article which appeared i'll
the SILVER STATE a few days ago rela-
tive to railroad taxation and State
Board of Equalization. The Reno
journal, which has assumed tine role OF
champion OF tae majority of the recent
Legislature of this State, denies that
the Crooks ed Railroad was instrumental
in causing the defeat of the bill intro
duced to create State Board Of Equal
ization. 1t says the bill did not pro-
vide for the equalization of property
situated in two or more counties, cas-
it's author claimed that in such a shape
it would be unconstitutional aud the
test vote in the Senate WAS on tlat very
proposition, twelve Senators voting to
retain the word two and thirteen Sen
ators voting to have the word one. .
This explanation conveys the idea
that the bill dill provide for the Equal
ization of taxation Oh property situated
III two or more counties as twelve Sen
ators voted to retain the word two
which the Journal says the author of
the bill claimed would BE- unconsti-
tutional." The Journal thus makes it
appear that Senator Creswell, who in
PRODUCED the bill, afterwards opposed
it because it was unconstitutional. The
Journal ought to know as is editor was
member of the Senate, but the follow
ing from the Eureka Sentinel, whose
editor was also member of the Senate,
implies that it does not. The Sentinel
says: The bill to which the SILVER
STATE makes reference, passed the Sen
ate after a hard struggle by majority
of one. 1t went to the Assembly and
there hung fire for some weeks. 1t
finally suffered indefinite postponement,
on motion .cf Mr.. Fisk of Eureka. Mr.
Fisk doubtless made mistake in the
premises, as he voted against the post
ponement on the call Of the yeas and
nays. That such law should have
been enacted does not admit of doubt
The Sentinel comedies that the bill
passed the Senate and admits that
law creating State Board Of Eluali-
cation ought to be enacted, but the
Journal, although it devotes column
to the subject, does not commit itself
for or against such measure. Every
body knows that it is either Unjust to
railroad companies, whose lines extend
through two or more coupties, or TO the
taxpayers of the State to have railroad
beds which are of no greater value in
one county than in another assessed at
rates which range from IS, 900 to Sl5,-
900 per mile. The Constitution of Ne
vada guarantees equal taxation through
out the State and for the editor of the
Journal or anybodyelso to contend that
legislation intended to carry out that
provision of the Constitution would net
be Constitutional is simply to write.

The ONO DEMOCRACY AND THEIR
RIGHT TO SELECT THEIR OWN CAN
DiDATEs.-Four years ago the Demo-
Gratis OF Ohio nominated William Allen
for Governor. Then as now a few
papers claiming to be Democratic, out
side OF Ohio, opposed the election of
Allen and favored the election of Hayes,
because as they alleged the latter was for
hard money. The result was Hayes
election by small majority, just enough
10 prove that the influence and money
contributed by those out of that State did
1t, and Ohio was lost to the Democrats
and consequently was carried in 1876 for
Radical President. Now, this inter
terence with the Ohio Democracy is all
wrong and not in conformity with good
faith. Had Hayes been defeated fol

BIAINE's SUBSTITUTE COST HIM
NorHING.-Such men as Blaine are ever
cowardly bullying the Confederate Briga-
diers in Congress; and few days ago
one of them asked him if he had entered
the Northern army, and why he had not.
He said he had not entered the army but
had put in Democrat as substitute who
disgraced the cause by his conduct, an
was asked to give his name, which he
did. The Confederate's sincerity in the
cause of the rebellion led him to stake
his life and all he possessed upon ii.
But Blaine chose to take office and stay
at home. The Confederates say such
men as Blaine rakes up the war in order
to make political capital of i: on which
they can aid into power and reap a har-
vest of wealth from high-priced salaries
and fine opportunities to bestow favors
on friends and relations. Blaine's bla-
tant talk and frequent reference to the
war and indisposition to close the
"bloo.ly chasm,' is not liked by large
class of his own party as proof of this
we cut the following from the Philadel-
phia Telegraph, which seemed to bt
quite pleased with it. Blaine's efforts tt
stigmatize the Democrats that entered
the army may have been considered
smart by his admirers. But the New
York Sun does not hold that opinion
1t has had the record examined, an,
finds that the substitute cost Mr.. Blain
nothing. He belonged to the August
Loyal Mutual Alliance, whose member
formed pool for the benefit of such a
were drafted, and the city has since re
imbursed the subscribers to the fund. i
also appears that Mr.. Blaine's substitut
did not 60 to the front at all that he wa
put to peaceful and easy service in tn
Provost Marshal's Office in Augusta, Me
and was soon after locked up in tn
County Jail for forging soldiers cerif
Gates of discharge and draft exemptio
papers. The Senator from Maine di
not relate any Of those amusing oper'
tions of his military proxy. There is Il
reason why any OF these bygones shoul
now be raked up. The country is sic
and tired of hearing Of thsm. The OF
side in parading their errors and Il
other in persistently fighting battles tn
ended fourteen years ago are equal
wrong. But whenever a doughty wa
rior of the Blaine school feels called u
on to air his rhetoric on those sorrowt
times, and from an photographed t
sis, let him be careful not to forget t

PHILADELPHIA has a debt OF Soo,ooo,-
ono. which the city can only change
from 0 per cent. bonds at their explra-
ton, or at the option of the holders, and
the city is greatly troubled at the POSI-
ton il finds itself in now, when money
il 30 readily borrowed on 4 per cent.
bonds. There is no escape from it, and
the taxes are enormous, equal to nearly
three per cent, thus reducing the value
of real estate there about one-half; and,
thetsfore, it is selling lower under the
hammer than ever before.
