While these evils can on ly be reached throagh the. Legislature, there are some others connected with dicious action of county officers who have the nerve. A carefal examination of the Controller's Report, will show that the mising counties are paying a much larger amount of State taxes hab they ought to pay, and that Nevada pays a larger excess of State over coun‘ty taxes than any other county. This matter shoald be looked to carefaliy, sod the system of assessment ae / more than our proportion of taxation. It is evident that nothing will be done to secure such a resalt bythe Legislature. The time for the annual levy of taxes for the present year is near at hand, and the revenue officers will soon be at work. Sincethe matter has passed so long without consideration, it would be better to‘et it go for this term, as hasty action might result in more injury than good. The people will therefore do better as matters now stand. than if the present Legislature, which . lias ‘shown its incapability to deal with any question of general public interest, should undertake to remedy the evils. It’ will, under all the circumstances, be . iar better to rely upon the judgment of local officers to remedy, as far as possi. ble; the eviis-which-have come into practice, and leave them which exist in the system until we have a Legisletions. _._. ‘She Strike at Randolph Fiat.

The Aa, spebking of the } measure; says: “Fhe passage ef sachet bill as this, taking from Marin and San Francisco these valuable slices of land, . ‘would-be a real misfortune—crippling the fatute developments of the State and giving te selfish men the property which they covet. It is notorious that the whele thing has no existence, except on peper, and a paper transfer of the stock; with a cbange of name, will lezve the State with no security whatever for what it demands of the corporation. The méasure has lost but little of its offepsiveness by amendment; it is still most unsavory.” Tue Reporter ro Wednesday last has an afticle in réference to 2 cotemporary, beaded “A Mendacious Sheet.” The Reporter has well earned ‘that sppelle . ( tion and will always be so regarded gntil it takes back itsslanderous charges made against the Hon. T. B. Mc¥Farland, which we have proved to be false in every particular. Be honest, for once, Mr. Reporter, and acknowledge that. you gave birth to a contemptible falsehood, or talk no more about “mendacious sheets.” A “Bunssr” Oprrxiox. — The Bee says: “The Reporter was an advocate of the passage of the Hall Garrison bill, bat now that the Governor has vetoed it we have this from that journal: ‘Although we were originally, and still are, of the opinion tbat Hail and Garrison should be compensated to the’ full amount of the loss actually sus tained by them, we confess that, from the beginning, we have been in doubt as to whether the State, the General Government, or the county of Tulare should be required to make the amount of losses sustained by uall and Garrison.’ And that’s from a party leader, from an “organ” whose editor is a lawyer!

Harrington, who have been busy prospecting for a gravel lead, on Banker Hill, near Randolph Fiat, for some time past, says the Grass Vailey National, bave succeeded in striking the lead after a large expenditure of money end labor. Last season they run an incline tunnel into the hill to the depth of 250 feet, but they were not low enough, so they commenced sinking a shaft, the incline being used 26 a Grain tannel, The shaft wassunkto the depth of 110 feet when a pan of gravel was prospected yesterday, and about $80 was realized—one piece of the gold being worth $7. The lucky company making this strike own 1,200 feet. Griffin & Co. own the adjoining ground on the north, claiming 3,000 . feet. Grant & Co., MeBSorley & Co., and . “several other companies are also interested in ground on the same hill. No extensive work has been done on the claims on Bunker Hill for several years. Several cuts were ran on the side of the bill, bat they were never ron in deep enough to strike the bed of gravel which has at last been found. This strike will induce all the companies on the hill to immediately commence work, and will infuse new life into mining interests in this vicinity. ——< : Kipnaprers.—The kidnappers, (so. . called and so indicted,) ex-Chief Burke, officer Rider and Mr. Wycks, having had-a hearing at-Washoe City on-Monday last, and their indictments being __ quashed. returned to this city on Wednesday, says the Sacramento Reporter, . ! in company with their successful counsel, J.

After he had inspected the building, the children’ were gathered together in the chapel, when the macstro performed some-of bis most delightfal solos for their edification. Such as could hear him were delighted. The blind are almost always fond of music, and at the Asylum there are several of the inmates who perform upon the violin. These were especially pleased at having the opportunity of hearing the great violinix. One of the deaf mutes, on being asked if he knew anything concerning Ole Bull, walked to the blackboard and promptly wrote out a biographical sketch of the masical guest. In the midst of the selfishness which characterizes the artists who visit our shores, it is pleasing to note one who remembers the unfortunates and is willing to entertain them.
