TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

Colonel Fair received an enthusiastic
reception upon his arrival in Virginia
City, yesterday. When he came over
the divide he was saluted by the blow
ing of whistles at the hosting works,
and large crowd assembled to greet
him. The Chronicle contrasts his re-
ception with that of Sharon a week ago,
when none were so poor as to do him
reverence.
The Democratic Convention Of the
First California District (San Francisco
nominated General w. S. Rosecrans
for Congress.
Gen. Weaver replies to Frank
Highes: Il am opposed to joint
electoral ticket with the Democrats in
Maine or with the Republicans in West
Virginia, and will prevent such an
action in any section of the Union if
within my power. AS to your insinua-
tion that | am actuated by sinister
motives, denounce you as slanderer. "

: CoNKLING, THE soLDIER.

Colonel Fred A. Conkling mot he of
tie turkey gobbler strut" as Blaine
expressed it, but his big brother, who
served as an officer in the Union Army
is an ayowed Hancock man, and Chair
man Of the Union Democratic Club Of
New York City. In speech delivered
Ill New York City, last week, he COM
mented on the studied attempt of the
Republicans to rekindle, in the breasts
CT the Northern people, the dying ems
bers of sectional hatred. He said that
Republicans like Hamilton Fish, whose
guest he had been, felt that they must
work for Garfield or disband, but even
il they elect Garfield, they will go to
pieces as a party in three months after
his Inauguration. He predicted that
Hancock and English viii carry New
York State by g majority of from 5O,-
eco to. $4,000, as he knows that the
Democratic party win be strengthened
By thousands Of Republican votes.
Colonel Conkling fought in the war
for the Union. and believes that Sec
tionahsm should not be countenanced
In the campaign. His brother, the
"crested" Senator, did not, and he
WAITS sectional hatred revived, and
TIE campaign fought on issues which
were settled by the war nearly sixteen
gears ago. VIII the people follow the
sivice of the imperial Senator who let
staers fight the battles. Of tbs Union.

RAILROAD TAXATION.

The Board of Equalization last week
raised the assessed valuation of the
railroad in this county from S., 900 to
$4,000 per mile. Some Of our heaviest
tax payers whose names we are author
ized to make public, if necessary, pro-
test against the "raise" at this partlcu-
Ear time They argue that it will tresult
III reducing county scrip to- one-half Of
It's face value; in closing the public
schools and in increasing the rates of
fafes and ffeights. A tax payer, whose
views Of the question are given in
another column, thinks that the Rail
road Company will give special rates for
Barley and -four to this county, and
play Che mischief with the farming in
Serest However, that may be, it is
aolerablY certain that the people,. not
die Company, will lose by the arrange
1aent. The Company is authorized by
1Ew to charge passengers ten cents per
mile over the road, and fifteen cents
per ton per mile, for freight While it is
popular, particularly on The eve of elec-
tions, TO denounce the Railroad Com
many for its extortionate rates, we have
yet to hear the first word from the poll
ticians or papers in condemnation Of the
Act of Con 5ress creating the Railroad
Company and authorizing it to charge
1t least one third more for fares and
freights than what it does. While it is
true that the Railroad Company com
pels merchants to pay freight to Sacra-
mento and back on goods imported
from the East, and to pay freight on
wool and other articles of export des-
tined for the East, to California and
back, it is also fact that rates for local
travel and freights are one-third less
than the Company is authorized by law
to charge.
We believe the proper way to regu-
late taxation on railroads, which runs
through more than one county, is by
State Board of Equalization, and the
SILVER STATE has for years advocated
the passage of a bill by the Legislature
to create such a Board. Though bills
for that purpose have been introduced
at every session, they have invariably
been defeated, and as consequence,
while the State is benefited by the iu-
creased valuation of railroad taxes, the
county which increases the rate has to,
bear all the expense of suits for it's col
lection. AS the matter is Of great inn,
Rortance to the county, we shall be
pleased to give the views of those who,
sanction the action of the Board
and those who oppose it, in our
columns. If our Legislative nominees
attheensuing election should be pledged
to favor the passage of a bill to create a
State Board of Equalization next Win
ter, so that the rase of railroad taxation
would be made uniform throughout the
several counties, there would be no ne
ecssity for increasing the rate this Fall,
81 going to law with a corporation
which will resist the payment of the
increased tax to the last day in the
evening.

MAUD'S LOVE STORY.

vent heat that crowned the sun
shiny hours since early morning
was giving way TO a soft westerly

trees and lifted the short waves OF
hair off Maud Templeton's sweet,

bent his handsome head toward her

he was especially in earnest.
She listened, her sweet, grave
eyes looking at him patiently.

Such loving, appealing look as
she gave him, But he curled his
lips haushtiiy.
do 1 understand? Perfectly!
Poor people have no right to be
happy, and you don't care much for
a poor husband"
"Oh, Neal! don't be so harsh,
You know-you know I love you;
and no other one in all this world,
rich or poor, will ever hear me tell
him so!'
He was sufficiently convinced by |
her argument to be angry at its
correctness; SO he shrugged his |
as if in sarcastic unbe-
lief.
You prove your words accurately.
Women who love generally desire
not to pro long their engagement.
Or perhaps you have some practi-
,al suggestion to offer"
A little faint, deprecatins blush
oloomed on Maud's cheeks.
Il did mean to tell you of
chance for You, Neal; but you are SO
arcastic and-cross.
"Not at all. Cannot Il fellow

She sent a shy, anxious glance at {

And he plunged away into the
little woody dell near where they
stood, and his quick, angry foot
steps went crashing through under
brush and over twigs, as Maud
stood where he had lelt her, her
face pale and dazed, then pitifully
flushing as the hot tears rushed to
her eyes.
"He Is angry with me, and l
meant so well. He will come back
I know he will come back, when
bis anger cools, and admit that l
was right, or AZ least innocent of
otfense."
And she went slowly back to the
farmhouse. the scarlet stain fading
rom her face.
MIR. Courtenay.."
Neal Howard uttered the name
in surprised sort of way, as, leap
ing over a thick, low hedge, he
came upon Fred Courtenay and his
sketching paraphernalia under the
shade of tree.
The handsome young artist lifted
a pair of black eyes, that were Just
a little deprecating in their smiling
expression.
I'm sorry to have been so stu
pidly near at hand, Howard; but
what could 1 do? I'm sorry, pom
my word, that 1 was IN eavesdrop-
per, and yet, Howard"
Mr.. Courtenay hesitated and look
ed thoughtful
Neal frowned. He wasn't pleased
to know that this stylish city gen.
tleman was perforce confident of
his and Maud's little lovers tiff.
III tell you what was thinking
what struck me when heard YOU
speak. Let me do you favor, to
atone, if can, for being n third |
party to your little conference.
Howard's face was not cleared
even us he il:timated his willingness
to know what the flavor" was that
Ferdinand Courtenay could do him.
From what | heard, Howard,
take it that you would not refuse
Il chance-a fair good chance-to
make nice little pile of money. I
can give You a chance; I would be
glad TO give you a position that has
oeen offered to me, and now open, +
my answer, which, however,
must be at once"
He was evidently in simple earn
EST, and Howard was suddenly inter
.sted.
Give me chance, Courtenay!

Courtenay smiled as he took a /
etter from his pocket.
Its almost as bad as going to t
Sova Zembla; in fact, is quite as far S
II an opposite direction-further
'ossibly. But there's a good
hance to make money, as the firm /

thoughtful.
"And you actually give me
chance? Will the firm take me II
your stead?"
There's not doubt of it. if
recommend you. Will you accept:
There's not enough time to do more
than decide. The ship sails to-
night Mt eleven o'clock from New
York, and you've only time to pack
"A trunk and catch the train to the
city"
! Howard's face suddenly flushed
excitedly.
Eyes, I'll do it! Write me the
necessary introduction, and i will
write line of explanation and fare
well to AIaud Templeton, for Won
to kindly deliver after I'm oft. I'll
be ready i'll no time; and, Courte-

He shook the artists aristocratic
white hand eagerly.
"All right, oil fellow Come
back rich aud be happy ever atter.
Write your note, and I'll write to
Finch Il Wing by yoa."
SO, all on the hot impulse of the
moment, Neal Howard went abroad
leaving a letter, half proud, and
with a pathetic underions of love in
every word, for the one girl he
really and truly cared for above ali
in the world.
For Ferdinand Courtenay to de-
liver. And while Neal Howard was
walking the deck of the ship at
midnight, and Maud Templeton
was sleeping and dreaming of the
morrow, when her lover would come
back to her, Mr.. Courtenay was
lying on his lounge in the MOON
light, with the ashes of Neal How
ards farewell to Maud on the emp
ty hearth.
''And now I shall have everything
my own way. Fair Maud will be
comforted in due season for what
she shall believe is her lovers de-
fection, and L will be the comforter!

and a temperate zone!"
A year had gone by, and away
down by the Cape OF Good Hope
Neal Howard was wondering what
in the world was the reason he had
never received an answer from
Maud to the little farewell letter he
had left for MIR. Courtenay to de-
liver.
He had found his position not an
one, and the climate did
not especially disagree with him.
His surroundings were very delight

ound himself making money rapid

But Maud did not answer his let i

he never received it. And In the .
weeks that followed his departure,
Ir. Courtenay was her comforter.
'ecaUse to him only Neal had con-
ded his intentions.
