COUNTY FINANCES.

The quarterly report OF the County
Auditor shows the total indebtedness
of the county on the 7tir instant to have
been 90,76l 81. Since then the Board
of County Commissioners allowed bills,
which are published in another column,
ssggregating $lO,6l7 d. This makes
the total indebtedness of the county at
the present time sloi, 1887 II, Of which
$751; OOis bonded, the bonds drawing
interest at ten per cent. per annum and
payable twenty years from the date Of
their issue in 1875.
The quarterly report Of the Auditor
'one.year ago showed that the indebted,
ness of the county then was $79, 02O &c,
and the bills allowed by the Board of
County Commissioners at the July ses-
sion, of the Board to have been
S8,76S SO, making the total indebted
ness year ago SS7,709 so, or nearly
$4,000 less than at the present time,
From this showing it appears that the
receipts of the county for the last year
fall short of the expenditures several
thousand dollars. An amount, how
ever, equal to, if not in excess of the
increase of the debt, may be set down
to extraordinary expenses. The cleo
ton last Fall cost several thousand dol
lars, yet the indebtedness of-the county
was less by about So, 900 on the first of
January, 1879, than twas the first of
January, 1878. This year the extraorf
binary expenses have been the bridging
of the Humboldt river at Big Meadows,
at cost to the countyof about 81, 500;
the lining of the County Jail, at am exr
pense Of about So, 300 the building of
fire-proof vaults in the Courthouse, at a
cost of nearly $1,000, and the payment
Of S9l5 70, the balance due Washoe in
the case of that county against Hum
boldt These, with some smaller items OF
a similar character, make up thegreater
part of the increase Of the debt over
hast year. But. to Offset this increase of
the county indebtedness, and to make
the balance at the close of the year al
least as favorable to the county as 1t
was at the beginning, there is a mate
rial Increase in the amount Of assess
able property, SO that when the taxes
now levied are collected the financial
affairs of the county will present a
more favorable aspect. 1t is but SIM
pie justice to the Board of County Com
uaissioners to say that so far as'we know
they closely examine all claims against
che county, and in many instances re-
duce them. The bills allowed for the
quarter ending Jaly 10th are published
to-day. They are a fair sample of those
heretofore allowed and published, and

THE WASH HOUSE BILL.

The bill to compel the owners of wash
houses to pay monthly license of So
per month, introduced by Dir. Crawford.
Is being pretty generally discussed by
the newspapers. The Virginia Enter
prise thinks that it will drive poor white
women DOT of the business. as they cer-
tainiy cannot afford to pay the tax. The
Virginia Chronicle in commenting on
the bill says:
1t may be objected to this bill that it
would effect equally any woman VINO
might do washing for her own or her
tamily's support with the large laun-
dries or the Chinese wash houses. since
lis provisions if made 'aw. must be
neral Ia their ap Jllcstlon. In answer
TO this II can be said that e e IS civ
license of 50 % quarter upon lau1
dries, large aud small. within co.
poration OF Virginia. bat t. al no woman
pays it or is expected to pay it. 1t was
nanifestly not TIE Intent on of the city
III imposing the llcen-e to cole reye-
nue. from poor women, but to make the
Chinese and white men In tie aundry
business pay. and SO the authorities nave
uniformly acted up to the clear purpose
of the trainers of the ordinance. The
same practice might prevail with respect
to State law such as that proposed by
Assemblyman Crawford.
This is a remarkable argument. The
bill makes it the duty OF the Sheriff to
collect the license. and gives that officer
authority to seizs and sell the personal
effects of the owner of wash house
who refuses to pay it regularly. and if
these effects are not sufficient. to com
mence suit against auy realty owned by
the proprietor. The Chronicle pre-.
sumes that the Sheriff acting upon the
presumption that the bill is intended
only for Chinese, would not attempt to
collect license from white women en-
gagged in the business In other words,
the Sheritfs of the several counties IN
the State, By neglectiog to do what the
bill req hires them to do, could make
the Act operative only against Chinese.
II that is the intention OF the ffamer OF
the bill, then it should state that the
Sheriff may, at his option, collect the
license or sell the property of those who
refuse to pay, aud thus give him the
privilege of doing as he pleases.

THE ONLY HOPE OF THE APPLICANT.

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT or THE SENATE PRO
TEM.-wIIL SUCH AN OFFICER VIOLATE PRECE-
DENT AND GOOD BREEDNGf
BY TELEGRAPH TRIBUNE.l
WAsHINGroN, March 13.-Democrats who are
seeking office under the Sergeant-at-Arms and
Secretary OF the Senate persist in trying to make it
appear that the standing order of the Senate prohlb
iting removals except upon the written approval of
the Vlce-President has only been enforced in
special cases and where reasons for change were
not sound. Further inquiry at the Senate sustains
the statement made in The TRIBUNE this morning
that this is not true. The order has been continu-
ousy observed since it was passed in the old Demo
cratic days.
The fact is that the officers to whom it applies
have been in the habit of reporting every change
they have desired to make to the Vice-President.
and none have been made without his approval. 1t
is also found that in addition to the cases hereto
fore cited, there haye been numerous other IN
stances in which the Vice-President has overruled
propositions for removal. An examination OF all
the notices for removal on file shows that in every
case a written approval of the NIce-Presldent has
been given, except in a few where the subject has
been by order of the Senate, placed under control
of the Committee on Contingent Accounts.
There is one other feature of this matter that in
terests applicants. Some of them have been con-
S0lng themselves with the IDEA tnat, as lne ice
President has indicated his purpose to be absent
during the early portion of the extra session. SEN
ator Thurman. or whoever is elected President pro
TEN. by the Democrats will at once approve the de-
sired removals This, however has not been the
practice; the ground heretofore taken in regard to
this matter having been that such a course would
ot be in accordance with the spirit of the law or be
courteous toward the VicePresident. For these
reasons in the absence of the latter officer all cases
involving removals of subordinates have been held
until his return, then to be lald before him.
Several Democratic Senators have made known
their opposition to the contemplated plan of dis
charging all, or nearly all of the Senate employees
and appointing Democrats in their places. Ine
ground Of this opposition as given by them Is the
same as that set forth by Senator Mason's commit
tee when the order in question was reported that 1t
was very important to the efficient discharge OF the
business of the Senate that trained body OF en-
ploy6s should remain in its service. The ONLY
method by which the present crowd of candidates
can obtain any of these Offices therefore, Is by IN
ducing the President of the Senate pro TEN to ig-
more all precedents, and 70 approve changes recon-
mcnded by the new officers IN Mr.. WheelerS alb
sencc or by vote of The Senate resembling the long
standing Democratic order.

Nothing of the kind is found however; and If DIR.

upon such an authority as Mr.. Glover and his ex-

that the whole affair is attempted vindication OF
