wie revenue law, prescribing the daties of Assessors, provides: (Revenue
Law, Sec. 19.) “The Assessor and ‘his
sureties shall be and are hereby made
Jiable for the taxes on all taxable propperty within the county where,through
his neglect, it remains unassessed,” and
the same section makes it the duty of
the District Attorney of the county to
commence suit “against the.cAssessor
and his sureties for the amount of tazes
due-on property not assessed by him.” .
There are only two guards to the As-'
, Bessor; one is that suit cannot be commenced until his roll is completed, and
and the other that the failure to assess
‘was caused by the refusal of the party
to give property in.
The Supreme Court has decided that
all laws exempting private property
from taxation are void in the case of
the People vs. McCrery,. and declares
that, “Seid acts are to be read and
considered as if stich void provisions
had never been incorporated in them,”
The same tribunal has held in several
cases that a mortgage as such is not
taxable, but the assessment should be
made of the money, to secure the payM
ment of which the mortgage is given,
and further that such money is taxable

the total prodact of gold and silver in
the United States and its Territories
from 1848 to 1867, inclusive, was $1,075,500,000 ; in 1868, $73,891,350, and

will probably postpone their thanksgiving until some of the obnoxious laws
passed are set aside by the Supreme
Court or repealed by the next Legislature. As for.praying, our Legislature

“Tae Nevapa Capita BurLpine.—
r.Cavanaugh hasalready begun operations upon -his con‘ract, says the Carson Appeal of April 19th. Yesterday
workmen were engaged laying water
pipes across Carson street to the Plaza ;
"perfectly plain that the money which
the Legislature seeks to exempt from
taxation is property, that as such the
law exempting it is unconstitutional
though it had never been passed. The
Supreme Coart has further declared, in
Nougnes vs. Douglass, that “when the
Legislature transcends its powers, its
acts are void and are not laws.” Under
the decisions. we. have cited, it. seems
certain W us tues tho law exempting
mortgages by the rule last laid down,
is as absolutely void as’ though it bad
already been so declared by the Courts,
and as it is no excuse for an officer to
plead ignorance oi law, it seems to be
as clearly the duty of Assessors to list
and assess all moneys secured by mortgage, leaving the parties owning such
property to contest the right with the
county if they desire.
In addition to these facts;-which
seem to us to require officers to execute
their duties regardiegs of this law,there
are substantial reasons why the assessment should be made. The law will
enable capitalistsand others who loan
money, to cover up every dollar of coin
invested, as well as every doijarot money used in business. -The capital stock
of corporations may be made entireiy
exempt by fictitious mortgages. It is
but just to the people of the State, to
thosé who own real est:te or taxable
property, whose taxes must be increased doliar for dollar, just in proportion
as the-money. of capitalists. derive from
12 to 86 per cent. per annum is exempted ; that the question should be tested
It can only be tested by the assessment
of this property, the Supreme Court
having held in Ferris vs Coover, that
“in order to give validity to subsequent
proceedings, property must be listed
and assessed, and further, that “if Be1
valuation is placed upon property by
the Assessors, the Board of Equalizatien cannot place the valuation in the
first instance.” ey

LarGE IMMIGRATION.—Foreign immigration to the United States promises to be greatly increased. On Tuesday last the number landéd at Castle
Garden, New York, waslarger than any
day since the beginning of the year
The following are the names of vessels
and the number ofimmigrants bought:
France, 1,268 ; City of Manchester, 812 ;
City of Washington, 1,185 ; Colorado,
Silesia, from Hamburg, brought 620
emigrants, making the total number
arriving, 5,032.
—BURLINGAME’S remains arrived at
New York on Tuesday. “The Chamber
of Commerce attended, to eseort the
body to Hobeken and Boston. The Union League Club Committee, from Boston, accompany the remains there. The
remains were placed on board the Gilesia at Hamburg, with almost an entire
absence of ceremony ; even the passengers were unaware of ‘the fact. Flaget,

TA CULTURE.—We recently noticedasmall pamphlet publication, issued
by T. A: Kendo, Esq., mainly devoted
to the above subject. The following
quotation will show what the. writer
thinks of -California, as far as-its climatic advantages are concerned : “It is
unanimously admitted, by those most
competent to judge, that California is
admirably adapted to the culture of
the tea plant, the climate being especially favorable to the curing of the leaf.
