THE Toronto Globe of the 6th inst., ington has intimated to our. Government that the American Executive has received warning of 5 projected Tesias raid‘alt along “Huron to St. Albans. SS troops have-‘been put on the. alert. to} of course, much obliged to our _ neighbors for the.warning, but we are not afraid of a raid on the 15th of April.the day-named~for thé movement. The 1 _ The Board of Equalization has not the right to assess, bat only to correct the assessment made bythe Assessor. Un' jeas; therefore, the Assessor vidlate the exemption law, there is no chance to test the constitutionality of the Act. 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 ia the place where the owner or lender Under these decisions it is Congressman Lawrence in.aspeech on the tariff, made before the House, silver production, prepared March 9, 1870, by the Bureau of Statistics, from which it appears that in round number 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 4+-in 1869, $72,615,121—makitg a total product for the twenty-one years of $1,222,006,471—a billion and a quarter! You will observe that the statistics of yield of 1869, supplied by the Bureau, do not agree with those of Commissioner Raymond: With the limited dataat han4, I shall not presume to-decide between them. PENNSYLVANIANS talk of observing the day on which the Radical Legislatare adjourned as a day ot ees ing.— Keporter. The people of California rest. easy since the Legislature adjourned, but. 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 the taxpayers and the treasury. “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 A. Mills was shot ‘at St. Heléna, Oregon, on Saturday last, by J. H. ~ Campbell, iu.an encounter growing out of a political difficulty. It is feared that + tion of the building. were hauled upon the ground. ‘The ‘architect, Mr. Gosling, is expected here on Thursday, to designate the lines of the foundation. The laying of the corner stone will take place, probably within the-next four weeks; and fitting ceremonies are contemplated in the celebration of that important event. Mr. Cavanaugh will push things forward with all the expedition possible ; and we may look for busy times on the . plaza from this time on to the compleNn 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, were lowered at half mast, ig mained till the arrival of thé “vessel at quarantine. 6 iene Smnan IN SUTTER County.—We learn from the Appeal A. E. Pierce, who lives near the Ten Mile House, was shot in his cabin while sitting alone near the stove, and the cabin was then set on fire and his remains were considerably burned. He was killed with a shot gun, the charge entering the back part.of the head and coming out in front.

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. The opinion has even been expressed by: highly intelligent Japanese, now resident among us, that this S:ate is, in every respect, better suited for grow~ this shrub than their native counHas Its Errect.—The Alta says: The raid which Chief Crowley has in . stituted against the short-card sina and houses in which “hogging games” are dealt, has already had its effect. A already left the town. Officers have been stationed in front of all-the houses where. the countrymen are “taken in” and swindled, to warn all who enter that they will lose their money, has resulted in the suspension of this business for the time being. One house has been compelled to sell its furniture at public auction, and others have clesed their doors, while the dealers age.
AN Illinois paper throws out the following hint which is applicable to evesingle dollar, go and pay him ; when there is so little money, we ought to keep it moving around lively. Jim. owed us, and we owed Bill, and Bill he owed Jim. Jim got mad because we made him pay one morning last week : but we paid Bill, and Bill paid Jim,and Jim went to bed as happy as a clam, with just as much money as he had in the morning, and three men were out of debt. _ Mpan.—Near the paper mill in Marin county,a private pond has been constructed for the raising of trout, which at high water flow over the dam, and thus replenish the supply in the creek. The notices prohibiting fishing in the was subsequently robbed Of its trout.— The party who did this would probably shoot game in a cage. IN denying & motion for a new. trial for a condemned murder, Judge Primm @ Missouri Supreme Court, spoke severely of “that sickly, maudlin sentimentality. which’ of late has become fashionable, and which would grant an immunity to every gigantic criminal on the assumed ground of insanity.” SE THE Ala says that an English gentleman who came to invest, and purchased a large tract of southern land at $I 25 per acre, upon being charged the at the tonsorial establishment of one of our fashionable hotels, demurred to the cost, and said he “didn’t like to be charged the price of an acre of laad for pehaenpen Fen heen 7 Cor.
