The General and Special Salary aad.
Fee bills of the last Legislature are fall
of inaccuracies and incongruities.One} 7
question has already been settled by
__the Supreme. Court, and others. will in
all probability have to be so settled.
The Agney law, which ‘would “have
gone into effect last March, had it not
been repealed, made the Coanty Treas_mrer ex-officio County Collector in Neva* da county. Neither, the General Fee
bill nor the Special Salary bill, which
displaced that act to pfovides, bit the
salary of Treasarer and Collector are
. separately provided for, and it was the
opinion of some who examined the
law that Nevada county had no Tax
Collector. This question, however, is
set at rest by the decision of the case of .
Trout, vs. Gardiner, at the April term
of the Supreme Court. The situation
‘is exactly the same as in Nevada coun_ty, except that here the Treasarer, instead of the Sheriff, is ex officio tax Col_ lector. In that case the Court say :-—
'° “The question presented .in this case
is, whether the applicant, Trout, is, by
virtue of his office as Sheriff of Tuolumne county, er-eficio tax Collector of
said county, from and after the first
Monday of March, 1870; and the answer to that question depends upon
whether, at the time of the election of
applicant to the officeTof Sheriff of said
county, at the general election held on
first day of September, 1869, he was so
elected with a view of -his discharging
the duties of tax Collector for said
county by virtue of his office as Sheriff,
in pursuance of the Act of March 28th,
1868, entitled, “an act to regulate salaties and for the compensation of certain county officers.”
‘Ht is contended by respondent, Gardiner, that the above act, by its terms,
__did not take effect and had no validity
~~ of foree for any purpose, until the ist
. Monday of March, 1870; hence, at the
date of applicant’s election to the office
of Sheriff in September, 1869, there being no law in forte devolving the duties of the office of tax Collector at the
time-he was elected Sheriff, nor could
he have been elected to the office of
Sheriff with the view or intention on
the part of the electors of said county
of his discharging the duties of tax
Collector by virtué of his office as
Sheriff.
Upon a careful review and consideration of the whole Act.above referred to,
it is clearly Manifest that some portions
of the Act took effect, and were required to be acted upon as of vital force and
authority, at.aad prior to the general
election for county officers in September, 1869.
The third section of the Act provides
that in counties wherein township or
district Assessors then existed, elections
for County Assessors should take place
at the genera] election in the year 1869;
and in section nine of the same Act, it
is provided that in the county of Alameda (a county in which at that. time
the County Clerk was er-oficio County
Recorder) a County Recorder should be
elected at the general election in 1869.
Thus it will be seen by the direct
terms of the Act itself, action was not
to be taken under and by virtue of its
~ provisions prior to the first Monday of
March, 1870, when as provided by the
last secton of the Act, it was to go into
tul) operation.
When, to accomplish the purposes of
the Act, an additional officer ob new of.
fice was required and created by the
Act, the election of such officer was required to be had at the general election
of 1889. ‘The Act then clearly was intended to be in force, or take effect so
far as necessary to provide the proper
agents or machinery to carry the Act
into full force and effect, sixty days .
after. ite passage, or at the time
provided for the taking effect of a statute, when no specific time is mentioned;
and in other respects it was not intended to go into full force and operation
until the first Monday of March, 1870,
when the terms of must of the county

were divided fone: revenue dietzicts, and
. district assessors and cqilectors of taxes
of one assessor and tax collector for the
necessary to provide a-county assessor
in such counties,and this officer was required to be elected at the general
election in 1869, this being an office
. not then existing iw those counties; but
the duties of the office of tex collector
for such counties having, by the terms
of the Act, devolved upon the Sheriff
of the county ez-oficio, trom and after
the first Monday in March, 1870 ; and
the office of Sheriff being an office then
existing in said county, and the election
of such officer being provided for by
other laws then in forc>, it was not
deemed necessary to specially provide
in the Act for the election of a County
‘Tax Collector, as the duties of this office were, by the terms of the Act, devolved upon the Sheriff of the county,
to be.elected, with the view of his
discharging the duties of Tax Collector
for the county, on the Act going into
full force and effect,on the first Monday of March, 1870.
This being our view of the evident
intention of the Legislature,as gathered
from a reading of the whole Act, it follows that the applicant; Trout, who.
was elected Sheriff of Tuolumne county, at the general election in 1869, and
duly qualified as Sheriff, and also, as
Tax Collector for such county,on or
before the first Monday of March, 1870,
was on that day, and since has been
the duly elected and qualified Tax Collector for said county, and as such, is
entitled to demand and receive from
the respondent, as Auditor of said county, the licenses required for the performance 9f his duties: as such Tax

-Tux Larakat Nueoet.—The New
York Ledger of April 23a, states that
the largest nugget of gold found in
California weighed somewhat less than
twenty-five pounds. This statement
. was derived from an article in Silliman’s
Journal, which is considered a very
high scientific authority both in this
country and in Europe. A correspondent from Stowe, Vt., however, writes
as follows: In the Spring of 1852 there
was a very respectable and reliable
citizen of oar town who went to California After working in the mines
about one year without great success,
he accidentally picked up a nugget that
weighed 524 lbs., and coined at the
mint, $7,373 03. The man alluded to
is one of my asearest neighbors, and
there are three other men that now
live in this town that were partners,
and that shared in the prize.
This reported “find” of the Vermont
man must have been a qu*rtz specimen, rather than a gold nugget, as
fifty-two and a haif poands of gold
would be worth over $15,000.

ports relating to the massacre of Jews
in Romania appear to have been received in New York by private dispatches from Constantinople. The latest dispatch says the stories heretofore
telegraphed have been greatly exaggerated, and the massacre did not exceed 3,000. Dispatches from Lendon
discredit the report entirely, no news
of the massacre having been received
there. The Jews of New York have
concluded to postpone action in the
matter until they obtain more definite
information.

“JEHOVAH'S BanpD.”—A._ new religious sect is creating a sensation in New
Jersey. The society now numbers
over five handred members, and their
peculiar form of worship develops itself in puffing, blowing. . whistling.
shoating, jumping, falling to the floor,
rolling over and kicking. Both women
and men engage in these exercises, and
they frequently work themselves up to
a fearful state of excitement. There
is no doubt that the members of the
Band are sincere enthusiasts.
RoBBERIES.—Feotpads are carrying
