The Washington Stqr thinks tha

other countries than China may

enough to let in all the inhabitants
of the Celestial Empire, II they
will only take the trouble to come
to our shores in 4 round about way.
And this they viii be pretty sureto

it possible odo SO. It's a poor arti-

i HINT TO Correspondents

Tho following extract from the
Boise City Republican, not beng
applicable to tho KEYSTONE, is re
prDduced with d Wow 70 aiding the
abatement Of the annoyance treated
Of. We do not think that the shoe
fits tho KEYSTONE fnDt, for it has at
all times been our alm-and we
think we have been successilil--to
present mining reports IN as full,
acci,rnte and briefa form asposslble
The result is. the KEYSTONE reports
are reproduced IN the leading min
ing journals of tho y $, The
Republican says;
eIf editors and correspondents, in
their descriptions Of mines and other
places, would please TO describe
them without givingso much Of their
personnel, their articles would be
more interesting 10 their readers and
much more valuable TO exchanges.
Perhaps it docs not occur to the cor
respondent. when he IL giving dcs-
criptions OF mines, that il is Of inn
portanco 70 any except tho local pa
per TIA which his manuscripts are
sent. He docs not consider that u
short, well written descriptive
article will be reproduced ~ hun
dred exchanges But correspond
cnts usually start off after the fol-
lowing style. your correspond
ent, one day last week, mounted a
cayusp, and, after II hard dpyls ride,
over u rough road, arrived ut john
Smiths just in time to find steam
ing supper prepared by Mrs, Smith, /"
etc who in thunder does the cor
respondent think cares how he Went
or whether no had any supper or
notl, And thus he interlards his
correspondence until it is difficult
for anyone to determine whether he
is giving a chapter of Ills experience
or describing the country or mines.
The Wood River papers are filed
with this sort OF correspondence.
Az description Of mines they are
too diluted to be Of any use TO their
exchanges, Consequently much
| valuable information concerning the
Wood Rivermincs not reproduced.
The important matter il so smoth-
cred in long columns Of lminterest-
| ing details that il requires moro than
the ordinary patience Of an editor
to dissect them, and the oonse-
qncnco is they 90 into the waste
basket, aitl Wood Riyop editors
wonder why THEW exchanges take
SO little interest in mining affairs. s."

rHs CRY TAX CASES IN cousr.

Ine Superior Court. Judge benson presid.
Ing, was occupied most of yesterday in the
argument of the suits instituted st the in
stance OF the Board of Trustees to collect the
delinquent city taxes for the year. The az
gument was conducted by A. c. Freeman,
City Attorney w. A. Anderson and a. P.
Catlin for the plaintiff. and J. Fl. McKune,
x. L. Devlin and J. w. Armstrong for de-
PENDANTS, on demurrer.
1t was urged on behalf of the defendants,
on demurrer, that the plaintiff named in the
case is not the proper party to sue; that there
Is no authority to use the name of "the
people; ;" that there il no authority to levy
more than one per cent. tax for city purposes !;
that all the special taxss levied are beyond the
powers conferred by our charter; that the
procedure invoked to collect the city taxes
has been repealed, and that the taxes should
have been levied under the provisions Of the
Political Code, and not under the reverua
laws OF 1861. In support of these PROPOSE
tlons number of authorities were cited by
defendants counsel
In reply to all those points, counsel for
plaintiff cited the provisions of the city chaE-
ter, giving authority to use the name Of "the
people" in suits Of this character; also
showed by the charter that the per cent.
limitation of the charter was provided for by
statutory apportionment, aud that the char
ter itself provided for epecial tax levies, in
addition to the per cent. (; that each of the
special Acts providing for the Fra Depart
ment, Police Department, ETC., are all sub.
sequent Acts, and supplementary in their
character and operation, and each provides
for special tax for the support of each re-
spective department and of each subject mat
ter; also that the city of Sacramento is act
ing under q charter in operation previous to
the adoption of the Political Code, and is not
affected thereby, but acts entirely independ.
emit of any of its provisions inconsistent with
the provisions of the charter. During the
argument counsel for defendant claimed that
the 80 per cent. school tax could not be
collected, for the reason that the school
law was passed in 1862, one year before the
adoption of the charter; that the levee tax
could not be enforced, because the original
Act In relation to levees was passed three
days prior to the charter; and, further, that
the money was to be expended outside Of the
city, and was in connection with certain
reclamation districts not within the city
limits, and therefore the tax is void and.
further, that all the requirements of the law
in making estimates had not not been OBJ.
served. There are many intricate questions
involved in these cases, and which will ulti-
mately have to receive Judicial construction
and determination by tbs court of last resort.
After hearing the argument Of MIR. Arm
strong, the Court will direct counsel on both
sides TO furnish it with briefs of authorities
cited, and then take the cases under advise.
