” WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1869. ;
State, to sustain the State government,
. Union, speaking of the @incs at Grass

twenty-five percent. less the coming

be sufficiently increased to raise from

amount to pay the county . expenses,

The incline shaft of the Allison Ranch
mine is four hundred and eighty feet
deep, and soon as free from water, rock
can be taken from the drifte and stopes.
Little, if any work, is expected to be
required in repairs in the levels of the
mine, as the ground is very firm. If no
‘untoward circumstance occurs, the old
mine, in a few weeks, will be again in
fall blast ; and. we believe the day is
not far distant when it will be again

State.” It us giasce for s momelt-}ia the dsife will be immediately re_atthe figures. In 1867, we paid the
State $20,832 97 more than was collected for county purpoggs. ‘Alameda
only paid $3,712 more, Butte paid $21,000 less, Contra Costa $12,000 less, San
Francisco $1,194,043 less, and San Joaquin $35,000 less. We give the amounts
im round numbers, and they serve to
show how much larger-the proportion
of State tax is in this county than it
ought to be.
We have heretofore figured the county tax for last year at 95 cents on each
$100, but on reference to the records we
find the county tax was only 75 cents
on each $100, making the amount paid
by the people of this county last year
to the State 25 per cent more than for
local purposes, while in all other counties the reverse was the case; the
larger assessment being made for local
purposes. The effect is to require an
assessment of property in this county
much higher than in any other county
in the State to meet the county expenses. This enthils heavier burdens upon
our tax payers than they ought to be
required to bear. Let us have lower
assessments, and the Board of Supervisors ought to levy the taxes at such a
rate that this result may be attained
Some of the Democratic sheets are
attempting to show that Grant will be
a dictator, while others are equally
ey ciemid in declaring that the majority
of the Senate is about to averride the
President and take-the government into its own hands. Hadn’t our Democratic friends better settle among themselves which branch of the government

ed to notice their statements. _

‘Tue German Republicans of New
York.. with a spirit that does them
credit, pledged themselves at a late
meeting to the support ef any reforms
in the taturalization laws required to
preserve the purity of the ballot.
Rev. A. D. Mayo, of Cincinnati,
speaking ef fashionable life, says :—
“This tendency is led by « class of ex—
travagant women, who 6xpect to go
directly to Paris when they die; a dissolving view of jaded and-ever dressed
young ladies; a sprinkling of passe
belles and a mob of fast young men,
with white neck ties about their throats
and far more catawba under their vests
than is good for them.”

ASSASSINATION AT NEWCASTLE.—M.
De Bays was shot by John Holder, at
Neweastle, on Sunday evening. The
assassin concealed himself in a barn,
and shot down his victim with a rifle,
while he was bidding good bye to his
wife and child. The parties bad some
difficulty at Rocklin last Fall,in which
Holder was knocked down, and De Bays
was arrested for assault with intent to
murder. He was on his way to Auburn
for trial, when killed, and stopped at
Newcastle to-see his family, who were
visiting friends at that place. The assassin escaped. We condense this ac.

Fellowship into the United States. He
also requests all Odd Fellows to abstain

their brothers in its public observance.

Tue Giass EatER.—Some time ago
we ‘mentioned the fact, says the Folsom

and “hata great many doubted that a
dog could do anything of the kind and
