‘The Daly Bemscig,
WEDNESDAY, DEC, Lith, 1867,
matters of great interest to tains many
tax-payers, and’) number of important
suggestions that should command the
-Gttention of our Legislature. No man
in the State has studied more closely
the questions of finance, and no officer
has been more faithfal to the people: in
the discharge of duty than Mr. Oulton,
He has system&tised the work in his office, and done thuch to bring the State
finances to their present healthyjcondition. Of course it would be impossi~
ble for us to discuss at length the recom.
mendations of the report, bat'a few of
them in regard to the condition of finaneee willbe read with interest. Four
years.ago every important Fund was
encumbered with a large floating debt.
Now a large surplus is on hand in each
Fund to meet the demands, notwithStanding the fact that a small portion
of the tax of ig¢7 has been ‘received, —
From January 1864 to November of the
present year, the State debt was reduced $196,640 71, beside $2,036,106 62
which was expended for national pur=
poses. These figures speak well for the
administration of the Union party, and
‘show the falsity ‘of the charges of corruption made against the party. The
Bemocracy come into power with a
flush treasury and with a system of
financial management which, if they
provements suggested by the Controller, they cannot fail to better the condition of the State and at the same
time greatly reduce the rate of taxation. The Controller points out clearly
how this may be done. He estimates .

~ that the collections of revenue requires the year 1887, and as there is no ——
12 per cent. and recommends the ap.
pointment of a committee by the Legislature to carefully revise our revenue
laws, and devise some more economical
plan for the collection of taxes: The
State tax for the present year was $1
13 on each one hundred dollars. The
Controller points out how it may be reduced the coming year to 90 cents on
each $100, if no new special taxes are
imposed. During the last two years
only 88% cents were levied for the run.
ning expenses of the government, the
remainder being for special objects and
for the payment of interest on the publicdebt. The Controller points out the
inequality of the tax assessment in the
several counties and recommends the
establishment of a State Board of Equalation, authorized to fix the rate of taxation after the assessment of taxes is
made. Ifthe Legislature appoints the
Special Committee as suggested, and
they give their whole attention to the
revenue laws, the result of their labors
will be good, and if the Democracy fail
to redeem their pledges of economy in
the Geverument of the State, the cause
will n their own mismanagement
and corruption.
Heavy Ratn.~The late rains have
been heavier than any since 1861-2.
The water in the Yuba river at the
Point where it is taken out from the
canon, at the head of Bear ¥alley,
raised forty feet, and the heavy boxes
away. The total fall since December
5th, as indicated by the guage at the
office of the Soath Yuba Canal Co. was
714 inches. The heaviest fall was
from 11 o'clock a. a, on Saturday to 6
o'clock on Sunday, being 8,82 inches.
The total fall during the season has
been 25.68 inches. ia

Germany. The scarcity of fuel, coal
especially, prevented at these deep
steam engines for pumping, ete.; but,
with an excellent system of races and
. reservoirs, the water was got rid of by.
water wheels and turbines. ‘The mines
having reached a depth of 3,200 feet,
adits were from time to time driven, to
lessen the labor of the machinery ; but
at last a point was reached which threatened the total suspension of the works,
and, consequently, the starvation of
nearly 2,500 miners and smelters. Surveys were made and a tunnel commenced in 1859, for the purpose of making
the last effort for draining the mines
still deeper. This tunnel is now com=

long, ten‘ feet high,and eight wide,with
a rubble arch overhead, so exact wero
the surveys that in the eighteen ends;
one mile from each other, the bearings
were out of reckoning but five inches
for the whole length, and that was occasioned by a strong lode of iron ore
disturbing the surveyor’s instruments.
Two million cubic yards of solid rock
were displaced, 10,000 pounds of powder used, and if the holes for blasting
Were put in one line, 180 miles would
be their aggregate length. Great rejoicing took place after its completion.
A solemn thanksgiving in the Lutheran
churches; a torchlight procession of
over 30,000 miners, in full gala uniform,
and headed by sixteen bands of music,
who moved through the chief mining
towns at night, in order to receive the
distinctions, presents, etc., distributed
by the Mining Minister of the district:
It is now certain that with these appliances the mines can be carried on to.
adit possible, steam engines will then
have to be brought into requisition. —
These mines were first commenced to
be worked in the year 926, and have
been productive ever since.
NoTICcE oF BILLs.—Among the bills
of which notice was given in the Legislature, Judge Roberts has given notice of one to“limit the hours of labor,”
and Capt. Rollins has given notice of
intention to offer a bill making “eight
hours a day’s labor, in the absence of
special contract.” These bills, no doubt,
both have the same object—the estab
lishment of the eight-hour rule, Capt.
Rollins has also given notice of severaj
other bills which we should judge to be
as follows: “An Act for the encourage-—
ment of Mining,” and “An Act relative
to roads and highways.” He has also
given notice of a bill.to repeal the law
incorporating Meadow Lake.
