government should buy out all the
landlords west of the shannon at cost
of fS0,O0O,00O, OF which great part
will be repaid by tenants. and the caz.
Ger will be cured. lie also proposes
that the lands thus acquired be admin

James writes to the Times that the rent
of Irish holdings should be fixed at
twenty to twenty-five per cent. over
Grfiiths' valuation, and that any land.
lord dissatisfied with this should be en-.
titled to call on the government TO pur.
chase the land at a fair price.

Our Postal Service.

Postmaster General Maynard has Just
issued the report of his Department
for the past fiscal year. Among many
items mentioned, it is stated that the
money order system continues TO grow
in popular favor, its operations having
been increased from a little over Sl,.
100000 in 1865, to more than $780,.
100000 in the past year. At the pres
ent rate of charges the fees have cover.
ed the expenses with eight margin of
profit. Fully one half of the orders
issued are for sums less than S.. The
report suggests the reduction OF the fee
for money orders not exceeding s. TO
5 cents, and the extension OF the maxi.
mum limit of an order from $50 to
800, so tlat the increased commissions
received for large orders may offset the
loss resulting from the reduced fee for
small orders.
The establishment of . postal savings
system is recommended, and the post
office control of the telegraph system.
Mr.. Maynard renews the recommend
alton of Postmaster General Key that
newspapers containing lottery adver.
tisements be deprived of the privileges
OF the mails.
The privilege of registration. previ.
ously restricted to letters, was extended
in 1878 to all other mail matter, and
the registry system has been greatly
improved by the introduction of through
registered pouch exchanges and other
means to secure the safety OF registered
matter, so that the loss for the past
year was only one out OF every 6,25S
pieces handled.
The number of letters and parcels
registered during the fiscal year ended

Saturday an accident occurred on the

road, three miles west of Sargent, Kan
sas, resulting in the death of one per-
son, and the wounding Of several others,
two probably fatally. The train was
running about twenty miles per hour
when the smoking car jumped the
track, the last two cars following it,
and going down five-foot embank-
ment. The engine, baggage and ex-
press cars escaped. The scene in the
cars was beyond description. Women

for help, and the men, bleeding from
wounds, crawling out OF the windows

The Treasury authorities are in a

that the former are more artistic and
ia many respects better specimens OF
the engrayer's skill. The 500 coun-
terfeits now in circulation are so per-
feet that many experts have been de-

THE BULLION TAX SUITS.

The remittiturs in the four cases for
the recovery of back taxes and penal
ties, against the bonanza mines, were
fled in the District Court of Storey
county last Friday. The suits were
brought originally fop the recovery Of
about 5000, 600, bullion tax and penal
ties for non-payment of the same, ac-
cording to law. While the matter was
pending in the local Court, a stock
holder named Forbes enjoined the AS
SCISSOR from forcing the collection Of
the tax until the Federal Courts passed
upon the cases. The United States
Circuit Court decided in favor Of the
State, and the companies appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. It was intimated at the time
that the companies were informed, in
advance of the public, of the, intention
of the Supreme Court to sustain the
opinion of the Circuit Court, and a
compromise was effected between the
Commissioners and District Attorney
of Storey county and the companies.
Judgment was entered in the District
Court of Storey county for the amount
stipulated in the compromise, but when
the decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States was made public, an
appeal was taken from that judgment
to the Supreme Court of the State.
Pending the decision of the Court, the
Legislature convened in January, 1879,
and an Act "To discontinue litigation
touching ine9uitable claims for taxes
and penalties" was passed and became
law. The committee to whom the
bill was referred reported against it,
and the next day, i'll the face of their
report, voted for it's passage. The Su-
preme Court declared the Act uncon-
stitutional, and remanded the cases
back to the District Court of Storey,
directing the lower Court to override
defendants demurrers. When the re-
mittiturs were fled last Friday, coun.
sci for the State asked leave to amend
the complaint, and the Court allowed
five days in which to file amendments,
and gave defendants ten days thereafter
in which to answer. These cases will
probably be tried again some time dur
ing the Summer, and in all probability
will be appealed again to. the Supreme
Court to give the next Legislature an
opportunity to try its hand in passing
an Act to release the companies, which
may stand the test of the Constitution.
If this is attempted, it is to be hoped
that the -Solons will be generous enough
to exempt poor people from the penal
ties prescribed by law for non payment
of taxes as well as millionaires.
