To this connection the following has been
received from counsel in the cases, explana-
tory of the railroad tax matter in MERGED and
Kern: "The MERGED Supervisors, after an
Independent Investigation Of the matter,
found that the State Board assessment Of the
railroad in that county was twice as much as
it would cost to build and equip one ike it.
They thereupon ordered the District Attor
ney to take Judgment for taxes at valuation
of $4,000 per mile, which the District At
torney has done. The injunction against the
Tax Collector Of Kern was not dissolved. The
road was offered upon an understanding that
mere offer. there being no bidders. should not
be treated as violation of injunction, This
the railroad companies have been willing to
do with any county"

ABOUT THE RAILROAD TAXES

The following is copy of letter sent to
the Tax Collector of Yolo and to the various
Tax-Collectors, and explains itself. It is
from the Yolo Mail:
SACRAMENTO, March "A, 1882.
To the Tax. Collector: | am instructed by the
Board to inform you that Judge Waymire, Of San
Francisco has vacated the order heretofore granted
restraining the Tax Collector Of Sacramento county
from selling certain railroad property assessed in
1882 by this Board. The Attorney General informs
us that motions were made to vacate in the other
cases, and that practically objections lie to pur-
suing the course indicated by the Controller, i.
for the Collector to offer tAe property for sale,
and then to withdraw the property from sale there
being no bidder, and report the matter to the Con-
troller, in order that actions may be begun to
cover the taxes due
No objections to this course will be waged by the
several railroad companies, doubtless all they de-
sireis to meet the issues in Court and have their
rights judicially determined. Respectfully yours,

glaring instance of his folly and audacity,

As to his tedious and wordy treatise on

it is an utter failure" The arguments to
establish Personal God and the Immortality

that kind usually are. The whole work,
however, is perfectly saturated with the most
egregious egotism, and this feeling leads the
author to punish his poor opponents in the
most pitiless fashion. What their sentiments

Stalwart Move Against McMillen.

A number of Grant Republicans

cupa,ion of the New Orleans post

have written long petition to Presi-

basing their reasons exclusively upon
the grounds Of bis want Of party zeal
and that they want ,hc:Federal Offices

the 'e is not a single intimstion that
he is not an efficient and faithful Off.
Ger, but that he has not been faithful
to Grant Republicanism; and the
meanest part Of the whole docu ment
is their bitter denunciation Of Gen.
McMi'lcn for having signed the bail
bond Of some of his East Carroll
friends when they were arrested on
the charge of assassinating Jones at
Lake Providence.
No doubt the President, will grant
their request. regardless of the good

The only true method by which
our farmers can reduce their living
expenses and make themselves truly
independent, is to adopt a system of d.
vestified crops. Under the present
mode as carried out in many parts of
our State. there can be no such thing
as agricultural independence. AS
long as the farmers rely entirely upon
upon one crop for maintenance, SO
long will they run the risk Of finally
becoming bankrupt. The only safe
remedy is for the farmers OF the coun.
